I got this from another forum:

First Response - 25mlu
Asda/Tesco/Superdrug - 25 mlu
Clear Blue digi - 50 mlu
Boots 50 mlu

What does mlu mean? and which one of these is the most sensitive? I don't know what the one I did this morning was. Just one of those dippy sticks cheapys.

I'm finding it hard to explain tbh and websites are not helping me but basically the lower the ml/U(ml of urine, I think!?) then the more sensitive the test is as it can detect a lower amount of hCG therefore a test thats 15ml/u will detect a pregnancy earlier than a test that is around 50ml/u that is why I'd say only test when you're late as some are so sensitive they can pick up chemical pregnancies:(
IC tests tend to be more sensitive I think as they're usually from hospitals and science labs:) Where did you get your dippy sticks from? If they came with instructions might be worth having a look for the ml/u on them:) x

I am oh so confused so I hope somebody can help me!

I have been TTC for a few months now, I have very irregular periods (last one was in November) only 2-3 a year. I had a hospital appointment today to discuss any potential problems and as soon as I arrived at the hospital AF arrived!

So I told the consultant and he took blood tests and arranged for a scan for PCOS and gave me 2 months of clomid to see if will make me ovulate regularly. He said because period has come today it is perfect timing as I can start clomid tomorrow.

I started bleeding at 8.30am just before I saw the consultant, and it's been a few hours and there's only a few brownish spots - I normally come on quite heavy. It is unlikely that I am pregnant but I am stressing that it may be implantation bleeding?

I last had unprotected sex 10 days ago (busy week!) and took a test at the weekend which was negative (probs too soon anyway) but no idea where I am in my crazy cycle. I am worried about starting clomid incase I am pregnant, but if I don't start tomorrow then who knows when next period may be!

Arghh so confused and don't know what to do!

If you're unsure then DON'T take the clomid...wait til next AF(not what u want but best to make sure), have you tried phoning the doctors to explain?? They may get you in for a blood test asap to check if you have any hCG in your blood.
Also do another test tomorrow with fmu possibly on a more sensitive test, other than that I honestly don't know what you can do. x

Well, I've been reading back a bit and I've come to the conclusion that I've got no chance of catching up with all thats been going on!! I just wanted to pass on Massive Congratulations to Fuzz and Legs! Fabulous news!! :j:T:j:T:j

I am so pleased for you both (ooo er that makes you sound like a couple!) and you OH's (phew!).


Congrats to BB, OM and any other BFP's I might have missed too! :D:D

...and welcome to the newbies :hello:

I've been quiet recently because work has been manic and because my TTC desperation levels were rocketting alarmingly! I turned into a moody mare but hopefully back on track now. CD5 for me and PMA growing by the day with my hopes of a 2010 baby still alive (for one more cycle). I might still be a bit quiet because I'm planning on one long marathon BD'ing session this month! I should have taken the month off work
