I've had lots of false positives, so unless it's a strong line, it's a negative for me - rather like opks:o

BFN's are bad enough but false positives are the pits!

I've had false +s with Clearblue and also ICs. The lines appeared (although admittedly not immediately, so prob. evap lines) then vanished later, never to return.

++Pagee - If u got the result within the timeframe specified, it might well be good news. Only way to know is to test again with a FR or digital test.

After all those years, I do hope it's good news for you - it does sound like it might be..

Let us know!

My cramps are definitely AF cramps. Damn it.

Oh and despite my pledge not to, I tested - BFN, as expected.

I have zero optimism at this point..!

Oh well - good luck to the rest of you!

Now I know Ive been chilling out on this ttc lark, I have just had to look on the calender and work out when AF is due! Day 1 should be Monday, I think - having cross examined DH as to when she last visited! Appt with gynae is on Thursday. Happy days.

Sorry you have a BFN chickpea. Could it be too early? If not I hope that cramps arent too bad - HWB is my best friend for them.

pageee2004 - If the test line has/had colour it's positive. If it has no colour it's usually an evap AFAIK.

Also bear in mind not everyone tests best with FMU - some ladies get a stronger line with SMU or even later.

Best advice would be to test again this morning - using a different brand if possible.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi all

Thanks for this advice, did another test this morning and this time it was a big fat positive cross!!!!!!
OMG.........have made the call to the clinic with the result i thought i would never see..... just waiting for them to call back...
Still in shock to be honest and to scared to believe its true...
Could you possibly guide me to the correct thread as thing i will need some further advice along the way and don't want to me where i shouldn't be....

Fingers crossed for everyone else on this thread, i am at the stage i never thought i would be (even though sooooo early) but just to see that positive cross is a dream.......lots of luck and happiness to you all...xxx

BFP!!! Congratulations! I am very pleased for you

The next thread to join would be the 'Less than 12 weeks pregnant club', then on to the big scary MSE Pregnancy Club! - its only scary because there's sooo many people and it moves so fast, the people there are all lovely I'm sure.


...Unfortunately, I got a BFN this morning (CD29 of what's normally a 28 day cycle but was 31 last month) but your news has given me a little tiny bit of hope that it might happen for me one day.

Congratulations Pagee!!!:j
Anything different you did this cycle/IUI?:)

Many thanks for your congratulations,

Murray - my advice would be never give up hope...never thought it would happen for me and here i am...

QQuaver - they changed me over to a stronger drug this time, as only produced one egg on each previous occassion, but this time produced 3 eggs, and when they inseminated this time they scanned me at the same time and i could actually see where the swimmers were going which was encouraging....

Love and best wishes to you all...
