11DPO is still early though, if AF doesn't appear test again in a few days. FX for you.

OH has decided I'm nesting :eek: I've spent all day with a tape measure in one hand and ikea up on the iPad in the other :rotfl:

4DPO for me, and I have sore side boob

Thank you all you wonderful ladies for your congratulations - OH and I are still in shock!! Now to start the ball rolling in terms of getting in contact with our consultant and started our plan of action for this pregnancy and maybe getting very tentatively excited.

Following snapping_crocodile, did OH and I do anything particularly differently this month? The honest answer is not really, I've not taken any particular supplements or anything like preseed. But I have to say, using the OPK's were brilliant - knowing when you had ovulated/were about to, really helped in terms of knowing when to BD for best results (but also putting your mind at ease that you *had* ovulated). We didn't follow the advice you should do, I think we ended up DTD about 4/5 nights on the trot in the run up to/after ovulation, mainly for fun than for anything else...

So, needless to say, I am going to slowly start heading over to the other thread... but like snapping_crocodile, I will still be lurking here, keen to know how you are all getting on and sending babydust your way. Thank you all you lovely ladies for your invaluable support, I know you all know how it feels to be able to talk to others who are going through the same journey as you are. Have faith, it will happen.

On another serious note... surely there's got to be some more BFP's out there for November?! We've got a week to go!! I have everything crossed for you all that you get your BFPs soon, spreading #babydust to all of you.

Had a lovely weekend with OH, which ended in me having the worst headache I've ever had!

Now lying on my sofa still suffering from this headache, sore boobs and feeling really sick and light headed. 11DPO and a BFN so we'll see what happens this week.

Lulu, Marmite is right - 11DPO is still early. Plus, if it helps I had a stinking headache last weekend and felt light-headed on and off earlier this week. You never know!! Everything crossed for you.

Hey guys...thanks for some lovely posts from people over the weekend! Anyone know what the most sensitive pregnancy test is?? I'm off to Brussels for the weekend next weekend and am due af on Saturday. Would love to know for definite if I can drink without feeling guilty or not! Been feeling quite stressed this month so am imagining I probably won't get a positive!

I'm still lurking and keeping my fingers crossed for you all. I was going to suggest the First Response test, but according to the list on the front page superdrug do an even more sensitive test:

Sensitivity of home pregnancy tests (lower = more sensitive, earlier results)
Superdrug Own Brand (pink box - states can use 4 days before late AF on box) 10mIU
First Vue dip tests (poundland) - 25mIU
One step midstream (ALDI) - 25mIU
Clearblue - 25mIU
Clearblue Digital - 50mIU
First response early response - 12.5mIU
Boots own brand - 25mIU/50mIU
Sainsburys own - 15mIU
Tesco own - 25mIU
ASDA own - 25mIU
CBD with conception indicator - 25mIU

Good luck to you all.x

I used both Superdrug and FRER in the same day on both Saturday and Sunday last week. The lines on the Superdrug tests were barely there both days but were much clearer on FRER. Fx for you lisaJane

Well 12 dpo for me.
Sore bb's are still there = normal for me.
No brown spotting yet = usually get some from about 9 / 10dpo so I usually know AF's on the way b ut doesn't necessarily mean that it's not!
Have backache this morning and some dull aches so thinking that AF is probably going to show herself in the next couple of days but we'll see!
How's everyone else getting on?

(I slso didn't also have back ache etc and a lack of spotting and end up with a bfp ... ;-))
