What do u mean 'holding it in there' splash? You should hold it in your wee stream for 5 secs - no more or you will oversoak it. Try again! Yes then put it down on a flat surface!

Egypt · 16/07/2003 15:33

Oh I see splash, sorry - in the air is fine. Sorry, getting your hopes up. sorry. wait til sat. Start ov sticks on day 11 then one each day - after midday and after NOT going to the loo for 4 hours. You should get a positive within 5 days IF your cycle is 28 days. The test has instructions though. You'll be fine.

splash · 16/07/2003 15:35

thanks egypt, i nearly tested again then. and also thanks for advice on stupid sticks.

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 16:07

Splash good luck. So when are you testing again, the weekend ?

Quackers, Jemma7, Splash et all, TM is cool nickmame ! Don't mind at all...Jemma7, dd is 22 months, 2nd birthday will be the day after I reach 12 weeks ! She is 2 on September 11 the (yes that's right, born on THAT DAY).

Told dh, he was delighted albeit a bit surprised that it happened straight away. Both a bit nervous now that we will get to 3 monts.

I shall definitely be hanging around here to make sure we take you all with us to conceived thread.

Jemma7 · 16/07/2003 16:17

Not surprised he was surprised - you are very lucky to have conceived straight away - Try and spread your luck arund here a bit!

Think quackers has left us for the other thread - can't blame her really - must be really exciting for u both!

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 16:32

Hi Jemma7 - I am really spreading my luck I hope. Will stay around until you all conceive !
Just lots of shagging and getting lucky I guess.
Don't give up - big cyber hug.

quackers · 16/07/2003 16:37

I've certainly not gone Jemma 7 , not without u lot anyway. I post on here loads and feel I can only say a couple of things on the pg thread as its so early and I know some one there from the m/c thread. I have a little girl already but feel a complete novice again! As TM says get shagging. We need to make some room on this thread for new ttcers and get rid of these oldies now! !!! YKWIM!! Hey I'm getting to learn this lingo now!

BigBird · 16/07/2003 16:39

Congrats TM - ure so lucky!

I'm the same as you splash - ovd on either 5th or 6th July (according to the sticks). I'm not due till Mon or Tues and will prob not test till Weds (if i'm lucky enough to get that far without AF). No major symptoms apart from thinking I must be pregnant, but then again I think that on every '2 week wait' so whats new? Trying not to be too optimistic as I was very dissapointed last month.

heres hoping

quackers · 16/07/2003 16:41

HI big bird - great to hear from you! Now here's a woman who knows what she's on a bout! Jargon queen!! Good luck in the next few dyas chuck, be thinking of you!!!!!

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 17:42

Ok so what's going on !!! Two positive tests, First Response and Clear Blue, been dying for a pee on the drive home from work and my kits from that website mentioned on here arrived (Acorn they are I think ) that test came up negative. Is it possible I could have had two positive results and then get a negative / not be pregnant. Is it because not enough HCG in my wee coz drank lots of water today ?

spikeycat · 16/07/2003 17:45

I had two positives and then a negative then a positive again. In the end you have to just stop testing - it is not possible to get a false positive, but it is possible to have a false neg.

I know how your feeling cos thats what I was like, but just get booked in at the docs (or midwife) and enjoy

Congratulations by the way!

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 17:52

Thanks Spikeycat. I guess you are right. Will book into the doctors tomorrow morning. Got to stop urge to keep testing !

Egypt · 16/07/2003 19:29

Prob due to diluted wee! I'm sure if it was first thing in morning it will be ok. Other that or those sticks are crap and I have been using those to test all the time!!! ARGGGGHHH! Could I be? NO.

quackers · 16/07/2003 19:44

Tm - don't panic. My previous search on websites show that all pg tests have diff sensitivty. For eg the First response will detect 20 mls of HCG and clear blue I think is 30 or so. The higher the hcg the further on you are in pg. These cheap ones off the net are higher sesivity and may not detect for acouple more days.

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 20:43

Thanks ladies. My conclusion is stiks are crap sorry Egypt ! If it is so that you can't test positive falsely and I do want to believe that ! Must be a reason the other tests are so expensive ? Quackers, you are the pregnancy test queen of knowledge !

Tillysmummy · 16/07/2003 20:43

hewlettsdaughter · 16/07/2003 20:57

Congratulations Tillysmummy! (I wouldn't worry about the negative test). Hi everyone else. I bought Persona today so shall be using that as soon as my period arrives.

WideWebWitch · 16/07/2003 20:58

Just nosing in here, but Tillysmummy, I had those v. cheap website tests giving me a negative and the Boots one giving me a v faint positive the same day but I just think the web ones are less sensitive. I'd say you're pregnant. That was quick then, congratulations!

quackers · 16/07/2003 21:06

I meant lower sensitivity not higher, thnaks www! TM, I am such a geek aren't I!! I spend woo much time at work on the net doing research about stuff. I always store bits of info for use later!!

quackers · 16/07/2003 21:07

Hd, well done getting your persona. Its a bit wierd at first but you'll soon be tetsing away and know eactly when to lure your DH into a sesh!!! Keep us posted how you get on!

hewlettsdaughter · 16/07/2003 22:55

Cheers quackers! You too! (with your pregnancy)

Tillysmummy · 17/07/2003 08:07

Ok, so I've done the LAST test I promise ! It was another of the internet ACON tests and did if first things this morning and it was positive. My opinion is internet ones aren't good, or they are only reliable with first morning pee (although don't say that) when hcg levels are high. I can't remember who was using those ones (Egypt ??, Splash??) but I would think it's a good idea to get reliable one from chemist.

Jemma7 · 17/07/2003 08:49

Hi gielies - Test arrived this morning - have promised d/p that i wont test without him being there (Nice) so wont have any news for u today!

Stop worrying TM - i'm sure everything is fine and you definitely are pg - i understand how u must feel wanted to double check all the time.

splash · 17/07/2003 08:55

hi all, saddo here, i know i was going to wait to do another test but.... i did another test from first response- got the twin pack yesterday and again neg.first morning wee as well. i am trying to imagine a line,, sometimes i see a feight one and then i think if i did not want to become pg i would see this result as it was, neg. last night felt exhausted and had to have a nap, felt kind of funny this morning, surely if i had ov on 5 jul i would get a pos by now. feel like buying more tests after tm's episode, congratulations again tm, my ds is almost same age as yours. last two times i became preg almost straight away. why is it not happening so quick now. big bird are you testing today, somebody talk to me..

splash · 17/07/2003 08:59

im testing to early arent i. if i did ov on 5, couting really 14dys after this it should be either friday or saturday shouldn't it, could i be testing too early??
