Your temp is a very good sign and I know that a lot of women wait till after AF is due to use a digital because they don't pick up like a frer does before AF xx I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you dastardly, keep us posted XXX

DastardlyDachshund · 24/12/2014 11:45

Thank you Sparkly and good luck on the January bus.

I hope so Mumwannabe. I can probably mostly ignore the cheapy (cause they are quite widely known to be crap) and the Tesco one as it did say on the instructions something along the lines of it being used to detect pregnancy after a missed period. But the digital one is sticking in my head as it is supposed to be accurate by now and afaik is the same sensitivity as the clearblue plus tests that have given me positives on monday and tuesday.

Either way it also buggers up my plan of presenting my husband with a positive digital test as an early Christmas present. I am so tempted to test again but don't want to waste any more tests unnecessarily.

Cariad2014 · 24/12/2014 13:05

Keeping everything crossed for you Dastardly. I've been in that limbo land myself and it's absolutely horrid. Here's hoping the tests you used last night and this morning just weren't sensitive enough. Keeping everything crossed for you. Hang on in there my lovely.

Sparkle - if you're on CD6 as well, that makes us cycle twins. Here's hoping January 2015 is our lucky bus.

victoria401 · 24/12/2014 13:20

Fingers crossed dastardly x

Cd5 here cariad and sparkly af just about gone. Still undecided whether to ttc this month prior to starting fertility treatment next cycle. Few more days to make my mind up yet as don't ov til cd16!

Good luck everyone that's still left on here this month and have a good Xmas!

DastardlyDachshund · 24/12/2014 14:12

Thank you Cariad and victoria. I couldn't resist and did another cheapie test with a 5hr hold and got a very faint positive but a positive nonetheless. Pretty much hoping that my negatives were down to the weak samples I used at this point.

Decided to go ahead and tell my husband. I showed him the tests with the clearer lines and was surprised that he saw them tbh. I told him about the neg test (the digital one) so he is prepared that things can go either way. I will test tomorrow morning with a clearblue plus and go from there I think.

Boobear1983 · 24/12/2014 14:19

Fingers crossed for you dastardly x

I am now cd45, bfn this morning. If I'm still testing bfn in another week should i go to the docs? I'm 31 and I've never even been a day late before. I'm now 15 days late. I know you can get bfns even when pg but i have to be realistic and think that there's some other reason for it.

DastardlyDachshund · 24/12/2014 14:33

I would definitely go to the gp in your position Boobear1983. 15 days late is very odd I think and should be checked out. It is probably something else keeping your period away imo but best to get it sorted as I expect it will be interfering with your ability to conceive.

(And thanks for the crossed fingers).

Maths88 · 24/12/2014 14:53

I'm 8dpo tomorrow and even though ovia is saying not to test until the 30th I'm really tempted to use a frer and test anyway - would make a great Xmas present. If it's bfn I wouldn't be upset either cos I'd know it's still so early.

Thanks for all the massage advice. I went and had it anyway and really enjoyed it. Feeling very Christmassy now and can't wait to exchange gifts tomorrow!!

Mumwannabe82 · 24/12/2014 16:59

Well my spotting has increased slightly and trying to turn from pink to red so I have a feeling I'm out this month! Which is annoying because im not even due on till the 27th!!! Had better book a ticket for the Jan bus Xmas Sad

DastardlyDachshund · 24/12/2014 17:41

Sorry to hear that Mumwannabe Sad. Best of luck for January if it is af. Sucks that it has turned up early especially this month.

MrsGingerbread · 24/12/2014 18:12

Sorry to those of you who have had the witch arrive and fingers crossed for those of you in limbo.

mumwannabe last two months have each been 3 pairs of funky accessorise sock, but different this month. I'll post a photo when it gets opened. :)

I do recommend it as a strategy, it is nice that af's arrival has a silver lining. :)

spinningirl10 · 24/12/2014 18:54

Made this with my ds today :))

Cariad2014 · 24/12/2014 19:51

I am in awe of your gingerbread house Spinning - looks fab.

Your AF present sounds exciting MrsG although I'm still hoping you don't need to open it.

spinningirl10 · 24/12/2014 20:18

Thanks Cariad, I've been so busy I didn't think I would get it made but ds really wanted to do it and we had lots of fun doing itSmile
Hope af has buggered off for you?

Blue500 · 24/12/2014 20:24

Af arrived for me this afternoon so roll on 2015. Just the thought of all the wine and cheese I can have tomorrow is getting me through at the moment!

Spinning, your gingerbread house looks amazing xx
Well I have my baileys on standby for my coffee in the morning, but I might still test because it is only spotting and not much on pantyliner really, more on the tissue x my temp should tell me too because it seems my temp drops at 10dpo which is tomorrow xx
