    They are BOGOF in Boots - plus I couldn't order any ICs this month, will do if AF arrives.

    I still feel like I'm in the game but I know I'm not. I've got increased CM, still feeling dizzy and light-headed plus my boobs have never been this sore. I know AF will come and kick my butt at the weekend though, she always does without any sign of doing so before.

    Because as a general rule FRER are the most reliable, no squinting, virtually no evaps etc.

    For me it's a pyschological thing! When I have a stack of IC's I can't stop myself from testing all the time. I have driven myself crazy the last 5 months. If I've got something expensive I use it sparingly and so far this month it appears to be working as I have never been so calm about waiting to test!

    I tell you what, those Sainsburys false positives have made me so mad about testing this week!

    I got DH to hide the tests from me too as I can't be trusted. I am allowed to take 1 tomorrow. If it's negative I will take another one on Sunday which is when AF is due (according to FF, Ovia says Saturday). If it's still negative I will just let it go unless I'm a few days late. I want to make sure I have a day to get over a negative result before we go to london for our anniversary treat.

    Hey guys. I took another frer this morning and got another faint positive. My friend in work who's a mum of two told me she only got a faint positive with her first son and from my photograph is convinced it's positive and doesn't understand why I'd be doubting it! Gonna keep testing over the next few days!!

  • Congratulations LisaJane!! As Rebekah says, you sound up duffed to me! :)

    We're going to take a break from TTC for a while... We've only been trying for 6 months but the pressure is really getting to OH and I think it needs to be done to help our marriage. Going to struggle but needs to be done so I'm bowing out of the thread for a while - good luck the rest of you lovely ladies and in a nice way I hope none of you are still here when I return sometime in the new year!

    It's going to be so hard not to lurk but I need to avoid for my own sanity! :)
