I'm back to help all you premature testers STEP AWAY FROM THE FIRST RESPONSE!

[queenoftheslatterns]

not started one of these threads for a while but have moved on from my enforced ttc break and we shall give it another go. however, I have one rule.

NO TESTING BEFORE 14DPO, its for your own good!

To follow on from the "Cheapy" test posts . . why not check the local pound shops? Mine sells the exact same as you can buy online but £1 for a 2pack and obviosly no postage to pay

Plus I was testing pos a week before I tested pos with a first response

I have not been on this thread for a while, sorry!! bicnod - still no AF and still no BFP, as of last week anyway. No clue what's going on! Any news your end?

Hey DiceGirl - AF got me I'm gutted. And DH has broken his collarbone so not sure how much SWI will be had this month. Now into 7th month TTC and starting to feel a wee bit worried.

Have you been to see doc about your lack of AF? When did you last poas?

My poas habit has shifted from pg tests (too depressing getting all the BFNs) to OPKs. Very addictive.

Evening all - loving this thread, so thank you all. First time posting on Mumsnet (vs just listening in!) so apologies if I get it wrong.

Trying for No. 2, only my second month since coming off the pill and am now, well 10 days late and 5 expensive tests down. But feeling really sick and tender so was SO sure each one would be positive. Nope! I am rationing myself to wait to the end of the weekend.

Best of luck all of you.

aw no that's a crappy month for both of you then really sorry to hear that. If it helps at all i have a cousin who took 6 years to conceive her first with no medical problems at all. I think it's just down to luck more than anything. Last time a poas was about a week and a half ago. So i'm going to buy myself a test on payday (wednesday) as a treat and if it's still negative and there's still no af i'll be off to the doctors. (by the way how sad is it that my treat for the month is a hpt?!) welcome fozza haha sounds like an expensive month! My cycles have been all over the place since coming off the pill, particularly this month apparently. Good luck lasting till the weekend! I know i'm struggling already
