Morning everyone

Stephiepug Sorry to hear AF arrived

Anyone else testing over the wkend?

Im CD25 today, and thinking about getting a test (just to put in the cupboard of course!
Do you think testing tomrrow would still be too early?

laurielou · 17/04/2009 11:03

stephiepug rubbish!! Sorry to hear that.

gemstones On one hand I'm willing you to wait to test, but on a totally selfish level I'd feel braver if someone was testing with me tomorrow. Albeit in a "virtual" sense!

gemstones · 17/04/2009 11:39

Laurielou Ok you've twisted my arm i'll test tomorrow!

The HPT have 2 in dont they? So if I get BFN i can always use the other one a couple of days later.
Was you going to test in the morning Laurielou?

laurielou · 17/04/2009 11:43

gemstones yey! Thank you! Yes, planning to test in the morning. Think I've resisted long enough....

gemstones · 17/04/2009 12:27

Laurielou I dont know how the hell you've managed to wait this long!!

Im going to pop down to Sainsbury shortly to get a HPT
What one do you recommend?
Will your DP/DH be there when you test?
ooh how exciting!!

alfiesmadmother · 17/04/2009 13:16

hello!!! Just checking in, have not had access to computer over easter so not had chance to meet many of you here! I am Cd 9 today. I have bought some ovulation tests, on acycle of 28-33 days what day should i start testing?? I only have 7 tests and don't want to run out!!!

laurielou · 17/04/2009 13:25

gemstones Oh God, this is real, isn't it? I don't really know what test to buy - does anyone recommend one?

Yes, DP will be there when I test. This is why I've waiting really, so we can test & laugh / cry / faint / be sick / get drunk together (delete as appropriate following result).

alfies sorry, I haven't resorted to ovulation tests so don't have any words of wisdom. If this month doesn't work out for me think I'll need to approach this a bit more methodically!! So when you find out the answer, let me know.

bringonthetrumpets · 17/04/2009 13:42

really cheering for your BFP laurielou !!

laurielou · 17/04/2009 13:48

thanks bringonthetrumpets

Excuse the grammar in my post - "why I've waiting to test"???? In my defence I think I have an acceptable excuse.

Josie22 · 17/04/2009 13:55

Alfies - if you go to this link:
www.clearblue.info/uk/when-to-start-testing.php
then it will work it out for you - presume it doesn't matter if you have different type of test kit - I have just got the kit the link relates to and it has seven test sticks too so can't be that different to yours.

Laurielie and Gemstones - got fingers well and truly crossed for you both - I would go for a clearblue one as they seem easiest to read (though they are more expensive). Avoid Sainsbury's own brands - have heard they never seem to even work!!!

Am waiting patiently for AF to clear off so I can start trying again. Feeling positive this month. Baby dust to all

laurielou · 17/04/2009 14:07

Clearblue it is then, thanks josie

EffieGadsby · 17/04/2009 14:55

Laurielou & Gemstones, I love the idea that you'll be testing together! Good luck to both of you, and hopefully you'll have some happy news to kick the weekend off.

About what test to use: I feel like a bit of a skinflint - because I was so sure I hadn't conceived, I just told DP to nip to Superdrug and get whatever was cheapest , so he bought a two pack of their own brand. It's funny, that even though they worked fine, and were really easy to use and read, I sort of feel that if I'd really believed there might have been a BFP, I'd have gone for a branded First Response or Clear Blue test. Which is ridiculous, as they must all be pretty much the same. Anyway, I like my cheapo Superdrug tests; I am very attached to them, and cannot bring myself to throw them away (and I'm trying not to think about them being soaked in what will now be stale wee).

Schlumpf · 17/04/2009 15:20

Hmm, still feeling nauseous today and no sign of AF, I think she was due to arrive around now.. maybe it's time to go testing, but I kind of like the frissance of not knowing for sure

laurielou · 17/04/2009 15:35

schlumpf I know exactly what you mean. But why don't you join gemstones & I testing tomorrow morning?

bringonthetrumpets · 17/04/2009 15:52

i still haven't gotten af...mind if i join in the big test-off tomorrow? pretty certain it'll be a bfn but couldn't resist the peer pressure since everyone is doing it tomorrow!

here's to wasting more 10 pounds on hpt!

Bettymum · 17/04/2009 15:59

Fingers crossed for all the testers tomorrow, let's hope for BFPs for everyone

NewMember · 17/04/2009 16:00

LOL I am terrible trying to work out the codes ppl are using! Can someone give me the low down on the codes! Sorry - hehe!

laurielou · 17/04/2009 16:02

bringonthetrumpets the more the merrier! I'm feeling stronger by the minute.

I'm going to be going off line shortly. Don't usually go on t'interweb much on weekends, but will keep you posted fro tomorrow.

Whatever the outcome thank you heaps for the support & sorry if I've driven you mad, xx

sazlocks · 17/04/2009 16:22

I'm testing this weekend. Still bouts of nausea, cramping and extreme sense of smell but if I was pregnant every time I ever thought I was pregnant then I would have heaps and heaps and heaps of kids by now
Good luck to all the other testers this weekend and to everyone else

Higglepig · 17/04/2009 16:25

Hey laurielou and gemstones - very best of luck for tomorrow - look forward to hearing your news.

Sorry about your news Stephiepug - next month is bound to be the one

katlokna · 17/04/2009 19:41

Hi ladies.

First of all congratulations EffieGadsby . Hope the news has sunk in a bit now. If it makes you feel any better about not wanting to throw the test(s) away, I still have pictures of my BFP tests from when I was pg with DS.

I would like to say that I agree with EffieGadsby re superdrug tests. They seem very good. 3 minute wait time (from memory!), but according to the leaflet they can detect from 10miul HCG. Bearing in mind the more expensive First response and Clearblue say they detect from 25miul HCG.

Good luck for tomorrow laurielou and gemstones. I'l be waiting to hear your results and hope they are good.

Sorry to hear about your AF Stephiepug. Here's hoping for good news this time.

donttrythisathome · 17/04/2009 19:50

Goof luck all the testers. Can't wait to hear back! xx

seanybosmummy · 17/04/2009 19:59

good luck for tomorrow for laurie, saz, bringon and gem(and schlumpf if you test)!! Hope its bfp's all round!

newmember hpt is home pregnancy test, bfp is big fat positive, dp is darling partner, dh is darling husband, opk is ovulation predictor kit. anything else you cant make out?

Schlumpf · 17/04/2009 20:54

oh, this is getting too exciting, maybe I will have to join you all tomorrow...

I've just calculated my potential due date and it's CHRISTMAS DAY!

So fingers crossed for a few Christmas Babies...!!!

NewMember · 17/04/2009 22:13

Thank you seanybosmummy that should help me out for a bit! Ouch it gets confusing
