Welcome to the thread for TTCers who track too much, spot to much and use most of our expendable income in Internet Cheapies.

Cycle 5 or 55 we don't care this is a place for your hopeful twaddle and necessary pre-conception ranting.

Lod, you are totally right with that one! Lol.

Rik, I was an idiot and did another clearblue just now and its actually gone up from 1-2 weeks this morning to 2-3 weeks now, so I wouldn't fear the clearblue. I really like that it says pregnant and how many weeks! I'm either 12 or 14dpo, I think I messed up my temps so I'm not 100% sure. If I used three temps from 7 am every day, I oved on the 2nd so am 14dpo, or if I use the ones from when I woke up first, I oved on the 4th and am 12dpo. We seem to be in sync! But I did the clearblue and frer and superdrug all at the same time, and all were positive. The superdrug one was the faintest but stronger last night. I would go for it, it might give you peace of mind. I'm sure it's fine. Like MrsPCR, I'm way better at giving advice than taking it! But I'm going to try to stop worrying about it now and put it out of my mind. I think if you got a positive on frer, that can only be a great sign. Do the clearblue and if it's too soon, wait a day. I had solid negatives the day before my 4 positives on every brand! I actually did an opk which alerted me that I should maybe test! Fingers crossed for you that it shows up quickly and puts your mind to rest!

LastOneDancing · 16/07/2015 10:19

Rick is AF actually late now? If not save your CB digi until that day.

Honestly they are notorious for giving false negatives and that would make you feel awful. So my advice would be to wait. Also they're bloody expensive to keep buying another.

If you're pregnant you're pregnant and no amount of weeing on stuff is going to change things x

Congrats everyone on your BFP's :) Im due on tomorrow, im getting cramps but feel different and positive for some reason im going to poundland on my lunch for a test :) eeekkk dont want to get hopes up but im praying so much :( xx

Rickalicious · 16/07/2015 11:08

Yeah my AF due date has been and gone, based on my average luteal phase of 10 days it would have been Monday but my last cycle was 11 days so if the same as that this cycle it would have been due Tuesday.

My sister is really impatient and wanted me to keep testing everyday after my first faint test whereas I am happy to wait a couple of days to let the HCG levels double. First very very faint Frer was Monday at 11dpo, 2nd FRER positive but not as dark as control line at 13dpo..... so maybe i'll do the clearblue tomorrow at 15dpo but then there is no harm in waiting until Sat morning i'll still be pregnant then and less chance of a false negative.

I'm planning to tell my parents on sat and I'd like to see the words before I tell them.

Fingers crossed everything, you are being very restrained not testing already. Most of us are weak, ha!

Lizzy I think you could be 14dpo if 2-3 weeks has come up on the test as 14dpo is entering the 2nd week, 12dpo isn't. Am I trying to make sense of something that makes no sense at all?! I don't even get how the clearblue can tell the weeks as everyone's HCG levels start and increase at different levels :-s

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 11:19

I think i can see a line :) fingers crossed x

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 11:20

I have tested last week lol but knew was too early :( haha im just as weak as everyone else haha :) xx

LastOneDancing · 16/07/2015 11:29

Erm, everything. You can't put that and not post a picture?!

Or is it just that I can't see it on my crappy phone Grin

MrsPCR · 16/07/2015 11:35

Fingers crossed everything! I only caught sight of the line yesterday when I was about to chuck it in the bin. Mine was clearer this morning.

Lizzy, I woke up at half 3 yesterday needing the toilet, having already decided I would test on fmu that day. I almost didn't bother bc i had just had such a vivid dream that I'd done 4 negative tests and I didn't even have any symptoms I could kid myself into believing were pregnancy, other than a random wave of nausea as I fell asleep Monday night??

Ignore the dream. It's your head playing tricks!

Yesterday I was nauseous until lunchtime, but put that down to lack of sleep and excitement. Today I feel the same. Maybe it's my cold? I was the worst for symptom spotting but now I feel silly if I believe this is early pregnancy signs even though it probably is!!

The female brain is a crazy place!!

Sorry to hear you've started puking Chelle. Hope it passes soon.

Enjoy telling the parents Rick! I wish I could see mine before holiday because cannot wait to tell them.

LOD you are so right about the peeing won't make a difference, but it was the same when temping. It was as if lying about my temp slightly might make me pregnant. Haha. I had to constantly remind myself it was the BD that would decide it, not my temperature!

Fingers crossed ladies, we can follow each other and then race to see whose first seeing as we all have EDDs within days of each other!

MrsPCR · 16/07/2015 11:36

Yeah we need a pic everything!!!

Rickalicious · 16/07/2015 11:55

Def need a pic everything.... although my first test was so faint I didn't bother so I'm a complete hypocrite!

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 11:55

Welcome back Ace!

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 12:14

Ok :) just at pound land lol the more I think about testing the more I think I'm coming on Sad this group seems to be lucky at the min so I'm hoping good vibes lol xxx

Rickalicious · 16/07/2015 13:06

Sorry to hear that everything Sad

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 13:32

But as im not due AF till tomoro maybe there is a 1% chance still im hoping x

Rickalicious · 16/07/2015 13:35

Exactly, still in with a chance until AF turns up...... how sensitive are the poundland tests anyway?

everythingcrossed2015 · 16/07/2015 13:45

Not sure this what i found on the internet x
First Vue dip tests (poundland) - 25mIU

Rickalicious · 16/07/2015 13:48

Well maybe wait to see if Af turns up tomorrow, are you usually regular? If nothing try a FRER they are supposedly more sensitive.

FattyFishwife · 16/07/2015 13:51

you know what they say Rick...its not over till the fat lady bleeds....or sumfink...NOT that Im saying youre fat....nonononooooo...but you know what I man...dont give up hope just yet!

MrsPCR · 16/07/2015 14:12

Mine was so faint on a 10ml one yesterday I doubt it would have shown on a 25ml. AF due today :D officially late tomorrow! Another week then I might stop poas!
