Laila I'm pretty sure test results after a few minutes aren't reliable - can't remember the timeframe as I haven't tested in a while but I think 10-15 minutes...? So I would disregard. Did you wait a few minutes after you did it to see if you got a line or fall back to sleep? They can take a minute or so to appear I think, especially in the very early stages. Someone may well correct me on all that though!

Fingers crossed your BFP shows up for you soon. Not much to suggest other than waiting, sorry

That's what I thought. I might go buy a digi because it's the only way I will know for sure isn't it.

Can anyone recommend some reliable but cheap PG testing sticks? I use Clearblue normally but they are quite expensive at £5-£7 a go, especially if having a lot of BFNs!

Home Health UK Ltd on Amazon is where I bought mine from. They do work (I used the ultra early 10mIU ones when I was testing) and you can get packs of 50 for £7.92 with free p&p.

LailaP - It took about 4 minutes for my positive to show up when I got my BFP. I had already convinced myself that it was a negative and walked down the stairs so that I could stare at it in natural light in the kitchen when it showed up. I was 13 DPO when I got my positive, with a typical lp of 10 days if that helps.

Hope that helps someone a bit, and good luck to everyone!!!

It's going well. Had a few scares early on, but now everything seems to have settled. I'm sleeping a lot still, but I definitely cannot complain about that! Still feels weird to be pregnant though, especially when the baby moves.

Hi sedment,
I'm in a similar situation. Now 9 days late. Mild symptoms which could all be attributed to something else. Done about 8 different tests all negative. Even went to the doctors yesterday and was told to just wait and see. I'm not doing anymore tests. I'm assuming I'm not as I would imagine it would have shown positive by now.

Its horrible being just stuck and not knowing either way!!! Did another test last night (neg) so am not going to test until next Saturday as I have the day off and will go and treat myself to a digi one if i havent started by then. But thanks Val x Fingers crossed for you x

Woohoo congratulations laila :T

So it seems if anyone wants to get their BFP just don't listen to me about waiting to test as I keep getting it wrong :rotfl:

I wouldn't be able to concentrate either and I'd be wanting to tell everyone .
