  • Greenr, I've never had a strong test line on an OV stick, but I do ov as my temp confirms this and my cbfm gives me peak days where it detects my surge. I think I ov at a random time and I never seem to test in the right window. I get faint line which gets darker but I never have a line as dark as the control one. Hope that helps a bit!
    Never argue with an idiot, he just brings you down to his level and beats you with experience.

    What is it that you do Maddy?

    Right do you think I wait till Thursday then before I test again? That would be a whole week late...surely if I was going to get a bfp I'd get it by then (if AF doesn't show in the mean time). I'll just have to keep myself busy and run to the loo ASAP of a morning so I don't get tempted!

    I think you should get a test from the shop maybe? maybe the IC arent working for you?

    For example, EA tested on the 27th June and got a tlp, she then bought a first response that day and got a BFP, I first tested on the 1st July (I was due AF on the 4th July) and got a BFN, I didnt get a BFP till 3rd July (I think) and even then it was very faint, I used IC every day till the 6th when I used a sainburys one and it was a def BFP

    My point is, I am due baby bean 1 day earlier than EA yet EA was able to get a BFP 7 days earlier than me, so you might be not as sensitive? or you might not show on the tests?

    I hope that makes sense?

    Thanks Kindofagilr.

    Just one question what is IC? Still a couple of abbreviations I'm not up on, you'd think I'd be better at them being a teacher - we only speak in abbreviations!!!!

    Ok folks, which test do you recommend? First response? Clear Blue? A cheap one? I know it doesn't really make any difference but I just wondered...going to order it online (or get OH to buy it and hide it) so it should come when I'm due to test again! Who knows....

    Still no af and all the pains that accompany it finished when I would have been due to come off if I had come on...iyswim.

    Sorry Internet Cheapie, I was using them which are 10miu and the gave me faint lines, I used a Sainsburys one which is 25miu I think?

    I would recommend just a shops own brand first, but I know people reccomend the first response ones (I just cant ever find then in the shop lol)

    I get the FR ones on BOGOF at Boots when they do them - they say they can test up to 6 days before AF is due, but I'm still waiting to use one of the new ones!

    BTW logged on to Facebook group this morning and got a phishing attack warning pop up on my security scanner, so beware today as I think the FB site is being targeted again.

    Hi all,
    Hi Twinklie - I'm still exactly the same - absolutely no sign of AF, I'm now not even feeling pmt-y, which I was last week - on Wednesday, it'll be a week overdue, which is normally unlike me, but I've tested several times with both ICs and one that I ran out and bought on Saturday and all have been BFN :confused::confused::confused: I think I've given up hoping, but fingers crossed that you're luckier than me!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
