...to think that maybe as I used a cheap supermarket own brand test, that I might be pg and that if I had splashed out on a Clear blue test I might be celebrating now. feel free to burst my bubble but what are your experiences of the cheap tests?

cheap supermarket tests are fine IME.

Sorry, wishing you more luck though. Have you tested too early?

I should be due today if I'm on a 28 day cycle I'm not sure ) I suppose seeing as AF hasn't arrived there is still hope.

I was 9 days late before I got a BFP, it isn't over until AF arrives, will keep my fingers crossed for you - good luck!

I am 4 days late this morning and been testing since last Tues. Got the faintest of faint blue lines this morning. couldlnt believe it. Had given up hope as all tests had been negative. Except that AF hadn't arrived had it so something was up.........

will do a top of the range test today. so don't want to get your hopes up. but you really never know until AF arrives......

OnACaffieneHigh · 19/02/2008 15:33

Crossing all fingers for you!

I managed to do a 39 day cycle last month when previously cycles had been 30ish days.

I was bitterly disappointed and at first blamed the cheapie test, then blamed the predictor test, then went out and bought a clearblue digital.

All in all I wasted about £25.00

Sorry to be pesamistic but I wont be making the same mistake again.

Jackstini · 19/02/2008 16:23

Still no AF ww? Will keep hoping...

still no AF......I have been feeling really energetic and happy the last few days, not at all how I feel before a period. Deep down I thnk I trust the tests though

I would wait until Monday and test again when you are a week late - that's how long it took mine to show.
Good that you are feeling so energentic though!
