    Well, 10dp trigger shot and it's a bfn. However much I squint at it. Damn - much as I try to think positive, I know it's a lost cause.

    Got another pg announcement yesterday - there can't be anyone else left now..

    Have a good day - Lisa, hope all is going well (not that you'd know yet!)

    Hi Chickpea

    I've been trying and failing to find the chart which I know is online somewhere about early pregnancy tests, but I know that even those designed to be used early, like First Response, can only detect just over 50% of pregnancies at 10dpo. I think the exact figure is about 52 or 53%. The 99% accuracy rate they quote is for 15 dpo.

    Hang in there for another week.

    Hi all.

    Am 8 days past trigger shot this afternoon, only had transfer on Friday though.

    Had my first rough night last night, woke up around 3 am and simply could not get back off. Huby is home all week (he works in Germany) and it is lovely however the snoring is not! Grrrrr lol.
    Brain starting kicking in with bad thinking and I couldn't shut it off. Back to PMA now though!

    Chickpea hun, hang in there. It isn't over til the witch shows and as along as she is away there is hope. Many people do not show until at least their test day, and some after that so keep hoping!! I'm with you on the squinting though!

    First response read at a 25 miu level whereas the internet cheapies are usually 10's but notoriously difficult to read as the lines are small and they do have evap lines most of the time. I usually use IC's to start with, then FR's if i'm sure there is something there, followed by a digital a few days later if i'm sure (nobody wants to read the inevitable in black and white!!) I would not like to think how many tests I have done in my time.

    I think when you get to this point kidding yourself that you won't A, test early, or B, test many many times is a waste of time!

    Have a good day ladies

    Got consultant appt on friday, OH is coming with me this time as he is not keen on me having IVIg (me neither) but if it got me a baby then we would all do it wouldn't we. I'm hoping we can just do steriods.

  • Good Luck to Lisa and Chickpea. Hope we get some good news on here soon.

    Im approx CD19, trying not to keep count so I dont get my hopes up as much before AF arrives. Doesnt really work that well of course but I can try:cool:

    Im hoping the urban myth that everyone talks about happens to me. You all know the one ...... I just happen to fall pregnant naturally as Im about to start IVF, the one everyone I know has said is bound to happen:rotfl:

    And decided to have a blow-out tonight and get slightly squiffy as its my birthday and need to let my hair down. Been so long since I had a drink it'll probably only take 2:D
