    £4.99 for 2 tests :eek:

    Blimey, I get mine from savers for £1 each. Even better is if you bulk buy from somewhere online like accessdiagnostics.
    Their prices are as follows.....
    2 Early Pregnancy Test @ £1.99
    5 Early Pregnancy Tests @ £2.29
    10 Early Pregnancy Tests @ £3.00
    20 Early Pregnancy Tests @ £5.00
    40 Early Pregnancy Tests @ £9.00
    80 Early Pregnancy Tests @ £17.49

    I'd say the 5 or 10 pack is the best buy unless you are going in with someone else. Oh and I'm sure they do free 1st class delivery too.

    Crikey! :eek: can you tell i'm new at this :o

    Hi everyone,

    It's been a while since I posted - it's been a bit hectic, and not much has been happening. We kind of took a break from trying, although I had hoped that our BD-ing one wintry night would have led to a something. Alas, nothing, and I'm a day or two post AF now - 28 days this month - much better than 40 last month!

    We're on a serious mission to conceive this cycle. May Day (traditionally a time for fertility rites in case you didn't know) is right in the middle of my cycle, and I have a good feeling about it. OH is laying off the beer, and I'm back on my vitamins :A

    Wish me luck, ladies (and gents). It may be some time before I have the energy to post again :rotfl: , and hopefully I'll have some POSITIVE news!!!

    No worries stargirl. We were all new to this TTC malarky once :D

    Thats the beauty of this thread, we help each other out and we all learn something new everyday.


    Well I do, but then again I am dense :rotfl:

    Just wanted to wish you all good luck with TTC. I was TTC for 2 years and 2 months and had to go down the fertility treatment route, so I know how frustrating, upsetting, depressing it can seem at times when AF arrives and you feel asthough your time will never come.
    Well... your time WILL come! I am now 6 months pregnant expecting a baby boy and to be honest I still have my moments where I sit here and suddenly realise I have finally gotten here!!
    Good luck and if anyone needs a chat about someone whos been through it all feel free to pm me. I tried everything possible while I was TTC lol x
    My baby boy is now 8 weeks old.

    Well AF has been trying to make an apperance for the last few days - just brown discharge (sorry if TMI)

    Never had this at the begining before - but then it's the first true AF i can remember properly - so am desperatly trying not to get carried away with thinking it might be an implantation bleed...what do you guys think?

    i'm think i might have OV about 10-12 days ago as had AF like cramps, although not been testing so can't be sure.

    Do you think it's too soon to do a test?


    update - it stopped yesterday so now it's just a waiting game - going to wait until next week before testing...need time to find my nearest Savers!

    Good luck stargirl, I hope it is a positive next week for you.

    Cally, glad your getting treatment, i'm sure it will happen before you know it.

    Congrats janegresty..ope the next few months go smoothly for you.

    I will try to get to town and buy some OV tests, I know they are cheaper online but I don't want dh to know i am buying them. We are both trying for the baby but he would rather it happens when it happens, whereas I want to hurry things along...If possible!!!
