    I know time will tell n stuff anyways. Am just a sucker for testing :o Am 12DPO now, period would be due weds as I have a 14 day luteal phase normally. I thought FRER were more sensitive? They say 6 days before yr period on there, whereas clear blue digis say 4 days before (which i was only 3 days before my period yesterday - making me a bit more concerned that it said not pregnant :o )

    Will do some more tests in the morning. If they're +ve its more test porn for you to look at. If they're -ve well at least I will know :o Am very much hoping to graduate and actually STAY graduated tho :rotfl: 3rd time lucky n all that :o

    Abis I can see + on all of those, good luck and hope it's a sticky one.

    I vowed never to test early again after 2 chemical's in a row last year, both of which I found totally devestating.

    There is a lot to be said for the 'old days' when early tests didn't exist and you normally didn't even suspect you might be up-duffed unless you'd missed a couple of periods**



    **information courtesey of my mother!

    When my mum and aunties were pregnant the gp didn't want to know until they had missed three periods and there was no ultrasounds carried out at all!

    Mama also said I was taken home from the hospital in the car in her arms! I get nervous that my niece might shift slightly in her car seat, let alone a new born with no protection!

    Abis I really really really really hope this is your forever baby, you deserve all the happiness in all the world x

    Wow I'm suprised that's how they thought in the old days! (or at least how your mum did) I know I'd have been thinking am-i-aren't-i after one missed period and rushing out to the doctors to do whatever rudimentary test existed in those days. Although didn't they inject your pee into a rabbit a very long time ago (I'm not joking, this is apparantly how they used to test pg, they then killed the rabbit and observed its ovaries)

    It must have missed out a lot of the anxiety provoking first few weeks though. Like my friend, got pg unexpectedly and didn't find out until 10 weeks so well out of the initial danger zone, although she had drunk/taken medicaiton/gone snowboarding during that time any of which could have had disasterous effects!

    Maybe to save the rabbits from unnecessary deaths?

    Good luck Abi fingers crossed for you
