    CD1 for me :( but at least I know! Also been put back on anti-depressants for PND. Hubby thinks I'm mad for wanting another baby given the way I feel, but I just want to complete my family, then I don't care if I'm on meds for life. Dr thought risks of conceiving on meds was an acceptable one given my distress at the moment.

    Put a new battery in my old thermometer, but can I temp after I get up or does it have to be the second you wake, before you move type thing? I get shouted awake & have to jump to attention (bloody kids, lol ;) ) so 9am would be preferable!

    Thanks for the reminder about Fertility Friend - just signed into my old account :D

    Got lots of cheap opk's but still debating whether to dig out my CBFM again? hmmm.

    I know I am really not helping others posting this but I need some advice.

    This is a First Response Test. I am due on the 1st June 2013 by my calculations....there are many posts where people have just got stronger lines as the days go by....

    How many days past ovulation are you? I'm not sure but the sensitivity of the brand of pregnancy test you are using makes a difference to how early it will detect the hormone.

    Fingers crossed!
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    9 to 10 DPO but I didn't ovulation test this month. I just am guessing from my last cycle.

    I am going to test again in a couple of days. It does say online if any kind of line comes up it is showing HCG but just at a lower level. Someone has posted one 8DPO and again at 12 DPO and the line is much darker.....

    I am not convinced. I mis carried last when I used one of these tests. Not that it affects the tests that was February 2011.

    That looks positive to me Samtoby!!! :D Time for the digi?

    I'm CD1 today. I'm not actually feeling so bad for some reason. A bit disappointed of course but just thinking it will happen. Mother nature meanwhile is standing with the loudhailer shouting Come in Number 6, your time is up! :cool:

    Started with the CBFM trial today but because start time of full flow was just after 2pm it says that CD1 is tomorrow - I'm confused but will go with it and see what happens. Think I will still use the OPKs too as a backup. :)

    Samtoby - I had a faint positive like that at 13dpo and have poas everyday since and the lines have been getting darker. Its only now that I am 20dpo that the second line is as dark as the control line.

    Congratulations:beer:
