    Congratulations! DH didn't believe I was pregnant until he saw the word "pregnant" written down either, it's definitely worth the money in my opinion. Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months :)

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Was going to suggest you got your practise nurse to do a blood test for you, now see that's not necessary.Congrats and enjoy your pregnancy!!

    What does 1-2 mean? Is it 1-2 weeks pregnant? I could never get pregnancy tests to work. I had 5 negative ones -she's now 7! But I knew the symptoms having been pg before so I asked for a blood test at my GPs instead to confirm.

    Really pleased for you:T

    Huge congratulations to you - I too have been trying for almost 4 years now.
    Have recently resorted to the tests that you get in the 99p shop. I was spending a small fortune on the Clearblue Digital ones (6 a month sometimes). At 3 for 99p I can pee on a stick whenever I want now! However still no BFP yet :o(
    Last cycle of fertility treatment is about to start. So wish me luck.
    Your story gives me hope.

    Good luck - I really feel bad for those still trying (cos I've done the bawling my eyes out in the loo at someone else's happy news so many times before), hope you get your happy ending soon - anyone who's gone 4 years deserves it so much more than me!

    When I think how much I've spent on tests over the years it's eye-watering - I think I've single handedly kept the pee-stick industry out of recession.
