Ok guys, so, question.

I'm still only TTC#1, but when it does get to my turn to actually do a test, which ones are the best?

I'm getting the sense that there are a lot that aren't as good as others....

Beaniesteve what a nightmare for you! Don't you just sometimes time would jump ahead a couple of weeks or you just had a chrystal ball?!! Wouldn't that be cool - "No DH, let's not bother tonight 'cos it won't work until 26th August, we'll wait until then!" .

Bagsy me getting one of those!!

(Did I really just say "Bagsy"? What am I five?!)

beaniesteve · 05/07/2008 21:35

Oh congratulations Lobsterlass

Dawn you should test on the day your period is due or late really. Any other way leads to madness. I think test are different because some are more sensitive than others. I've been using Tesco but people seem to like Clearblue (Not the digital).

DawnAS · 05/07/2008 21:37

Lobsterlass that's brill news - one for the TTC#1s like me!!

Yay!!

LobsterLass Congratulations on BFP
Dawn I used Tesco, ones off ebay and clearblue I think everyone has different opinions and if your like me you will keep testing with different ones to see if the result is the same
Beanie No AF is always a good sign, and you can only get a false -ve never a false +ve. If you can wait a couple more days then test again (easier said than done I know ) How is the symptom spotting going? It all looks encouraging

Hello to the newbies Zen and Eth also welcome back to Josie

Lou Good news on the speediness of your scan, good luck

I went into panic mode yesterday, had some spotting and imagined the worst. But so far so good, I've had no more spotting and trying to stay calm. Off to GP Weds to book an early scan, fingers crossed beanie is still OK x

Oh and I meant to say I hope you guys don't mind me staying around here for a bit, don't feel ready to move on anywhere else yet

beaniesteve · 06/07/2008 09:19

Hey Mollie,

Still nothing here for me and I used my last test this morning which was negative.

Now I need to stop myself going to buy more because I want to wait a few days.

HAd another 21 day test booked but looks like I will have to change that!

zen1980 · 06/07/2008 12:35

Congrats to Lobsterlass on your BFP!! Just wondering if anyone has any advise as AF has still not arrived and i have completly lost hope after getting 2 BFN!!

beaniesteve · 06/07/2008 13:06

Zen, you and me both. The advice I had from my doctor last time this happened (5 months ago) was to wait another week then test again! However I have just gone and bought 2 clearblue tests incase this continues into next week.

I'm starting to bore myself though and my OH is going nuts, I've tested 5 times (Tesco tests) all negative. How many days over are you?

LobstersLass · 06/07/2008 13:12

Thanks for the congratulations ladies.
I've snuck off to the due in March 09 thread now.
In the nicest way possible, I really hope that I don't have to come back here!

zen1980 · 06/07/2008 13:16

Only 3 but when AF arrives it usually is here within a day or 2, i was having all the cramping on and off all last week but then suddenly stopped on thurs. Theres been nothing since! I bought some cheapy teats off ebay, dont know if they are any good? a friend used them and managed to get her BFP pretty quickly. I feel like my cycles are now just increasing in days every month until i am gonna get to the point they are non existant ha ha how extreme am i ? Don't know what to thnk for the best?

beaniesteve · 06/07/2008 13:20

AWobster, I hope so too. Is it scary it being your first?

Zen - I am 4/5 days over and usually have a clockwork cycle, in that I can expect it every 24/5 days on the dot. Apart from a few months ago when the same thing happened and I was a week late! It's hugely frustrating isn't it?

I have used tests from ebay (ovulation and pregnancy) and as far as I know they are reliable.

zen1980 · 06/07/2008 13:40

Thanks Beanie, at least I can still say im normal its good to be able to speak to people who are going through it( or have gone through) the same!! We WILL get there! x

beaniesteve · 06/07/2008 15:55

woaaahhh - I think my period is here!
Mucus is discoloured, recon it'll be here tomorrow - how weird!

LobstersLass · 06/07/2008 16:48

Hi beanie, it's only scary because of the CP I had in April. Once I'm passed that stage with this one then hopefully I'll chill out a bit.

Morning! BAck to the top for me - finally.

lou031205 · 07/07/2008 08:11

Ohhh ME, ME, ME - Can I join

I have 2 DDs and DH was adamant that we were finished our family . After a couple of 'accidents' last month, I had really strong pregnancy symptoms. But negative tests. The suspense held on because I was still feeding DD2 (10mo) loads, so no periods. This gave DH time to realise that he would quite like it if the result was positive.

What I wasn't expecting, was that he has said that he didn't really feel he was complete, but was just worried about money. AND HE WANTS TO TTC!!!!

So on the plus side:

No contraception
Some signs of fertility
5 days ago shut shop on night feeds for DD2, which is majority of feeding.

On the negatives:

DD2 still feeds about 3-4 times in day so ?effect on fertility.
No AFs to go by yet (but hoping to catch the first egg, of course).

I did feel a 'pop' 3 nights ago after a couple of days of cramps, so I wondered if that might be ovulation prompted by my sudden reduction in breastfeeding?

I did also feel a tiny pop last night, so of course imagination in overdrive wondering if you can sense conception!

Morning Ladies,

Hope we all had a "productive" weekend!!

Miss Naive here again, can I please ask what a CP is? I looked in the acronym list but I don't think the meaning is the one that you're all talking about?!

Oh well, at least there's bound to be lots of BDing this week - weather's supposed to be awful - !!

SparklyPiliPala · 07/07/2008 08:49

Hi ladies,
Lovely new thread. Let's hope it means lots of BFPs.
TEW got me so I'm back at the top. Blackrock It looks as though we are CBs. Lots of luck to you this month. How long are your cycles normally? Do you know when you OV?
BS Sorry to read that AF got you. . I've seen a few of your posts this month about lack of AF and really hoped that it was your turn. ** baby dust.
Welcome to the newbies. I hope your stay will be very short (in the nicest way possible).
Dawn It takes a while to get to grips with the acronyms. A CP is a chemical pregnancy.
Big congrats to Lobsterlass and Hopingcat

Hi Dawn, a CP is a Chemical Pregnancy.
It's when you miscarry before there's enough to show up on a scan, so the only evidence that you were pregnant is chemical in nature i.e. your hormone level.

With mine, I found out I was pregnant on day 27 of my cycle. I started to miscarry about 11 days later, so when I was 5.5 weeks pregnant.

They conducted an internal scan but there was nothing big enough to be seen. The beta HCG level in the blood samples they took over the next four days confirmed that I was miscarrying as the levels were pretty much halving every 48 hours.
