    Oh abis it's so not fair that the tests are messing you around.

    It's tough but testing again today won't help. Tomorrow is the earliest you can expect a rise in any hcg

    You're going to have to sit on your hands today! I'd say if I were me I'd wait til af is expected but that totally wouldn't happen x

    I know that waiting is hard Abi, but I really think you should wait to test until AF is late. :o

    Actually, you should ALL wait until AF is late to test! I know it's difficult but it saves so much heartache and worry. How many times do our members get excited at a TLP that turns out to be nothing? How many chemicals have we had? :( I hate to see our girls goes through the mill with all of this and unfortunately the only solution is patience. It's a lot more MSE too! :)

    I'm not trying to be a killjoy and I don't want to upset anyone, I'm just trying to speak some sense to save your stress levels! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

  • Hiya - just a quick update from me. Year end at work so it is all a bit crackers busy. Hope everyone is OK? We need to get those BFP's up for March, nearly half the month is gone already!

    Abis - stay away from the POAS!! I think you should leave it for a couple of days at the very least hopefully this will make everything a bit clearer. Got everything crossed for you though xx

    AFM CD28 - AF was due yesterday but still no sign. HOWEVER, because I OV'd late (around CD21) I am thinking that perhaps AF will be late because of that? Anyway. Absolutely no POAS until Friday at the earliest. I am convinced that I'm not for some reason.

    :p I know what yr all saying about the testing early. I'm afraid it won't make a jot of difference to me tho. I will still test early. To me, knowledge is better. Last time I had a 17 day luteal phase according to FF - but I know it was a chemical pregnancy. And I prefer to know. If I get a BFN it prepares me a lot more from AF arriving.

    Anyways, I obv peed on another stick before leaving for work :p Just an IC and its darker than yesterdays now. So :j for now, lol! Such a rollercoaster!!! Fingers back to being crossed again :D

    How about I say I will try not to pee on an expensive test until ater AF is due?? :rotfl:

    Abi those lines are pretty clear (apart from the blue one if that's supposed to be a cross I can't see anything) and digis aren't as sensitive so I think congratulations are in order! X

    Go on then that's a deal!!!

    I haven't got any tests at work and none at home ATM so I can't test anyway. All helps with the tempatation!!!!

    Have just had a runny poached egg on toast. Naughty but yum.

    Saved FMU from today and used a clear blue stick (not digi), negative as far as I can tell, but definitely a pink line on an ic that I took at the same time. Extremely faint, but it's there. Not going to let my hope get up too much, as I won't do anything else until Friday unless AF appears before then.

    Abis - I can definitely see lines on the top two!
