Buttermint, if I was you I would definitely test tomorrow. I am just too tempted by the lovely situation of being able to tell my husband we were pregnant on his birthday. If it is negative you just need to remember that it is early, even if your cycle is 30-odd days, and definitely too early if you are having a longer cycle . Good luck whatever you decide to do!

Buttermint

PKK Yeah, I think I will test in the morning, it would be amazing to get a positive on hubbys birthday. As you say though, I will just need to try and not be too disheartened if it's negative, and try it again in another week or so if AF doesn't show.

Will post with an update either way x

Ladies did anyone else purchase the fertility tests from Superdrug? The womens test was so simple but the mens the instructions were easy to follow but it islike we got no result from it, I mean either the test did not work (invalid result) or my OH has literally no sperm to count, you get two tests so he will test again just wondered if anyone else had used to compare?

Buttermint

Morning all,

Did a test this morning; negative.

Came up quite quickly as negative too. I'm only CD27 though so really trying not to let it bother me and wasn't really expecting a positive, just thought it would be amazing to tell hubby today on his birthday.

As last month's cycle was 33 days I'm going to wait at least another week and test again if AF doesn't arrive in the meantime.

Baby dust to everyone

Xx

KatieBee123, out of curiosity how it the male test done? I didn't buy the test so can't answer your question, hopefully one of the other ladies will be able to.

Buttermint, sorry you got a negative. As you say though, you definitely aren't out for this cycle yet!

KatieBee123

Butter mint - sorry to hear about your negative, hopefully it is just too early!

PKK - basically you have a mini cassette style test, one window is dark blue the other window is white, in the white window using a pipette you put one drop of sperm, leave a minute to soak in, then you have a blue solution you add two drops, leave a minute to soak in, then you have a clear solution again add two drops, you then leave 5 minutes to develop. For a normal sperm count your test window must be as dark or darker then the blue window you added no solution to. OH result was negative or low sperm count according to this test his was no colour after 5 minutes but then turned a light blue a little while later, you get two tests so he will do another on Friday, I know this is just a DIY does not really give you any definite answers but if the other test is negative or low we will book a doctors appointment, wether or not they take us seriously who knows.

Well clearblue trial got in touch had an email today to test onthe20th June LOL AF has been and gone, they would want me to test on What would have been CD39! my longest has been 32 days and they know what because of the info you have to give before they accept you, in reality it will be about CD 13 which I will do a test for but only because I want my £100 and my fertility stuff after the trial is done, I just feel like for research purposes me testing on the 20th is pointless because AF has been and left like I said, and me having a negative result half way through a cycle is hardly breaking news in research terms, but oh well, it was free to take part just feel a bit let down by it that is all

How is everyone cxx

Hi All

Buttermint !!!8211; I am sorry to hear that your test came back negative, hopefully a positive is just around the corner for you.

KatieBee123 !!!8211; the clearblue trial contacted me today, and said that they would be sending out the pack in the next few days, and I am to test the morning after receiving my pack. I am only on CD4, so I also feel that will be a bit pointless! As you say, as long as you test when they tell you to, you are complying with their research requirements.

I hope everyone else is doing ok. xx

HopHop

I get the feeling that the trial people thought an email had gone out when it hadn't! Lola25 - they want you to test straight away to prove you're not already pregnant (it would invalidate their results). It's easy to mistake implantation bleeding as a period so they're just making sure
