@Pearl_325. Yes, the finish line is just in sight and getting a bit anxious.

@Dragonfly23 - Which tests have the highest sensitivity? The 6 days sooner? If those ones have a higher sensitivity I would use those. You could always try both and see what you get too! I hope AF does not come for you tomorrow or this weekend <3

@Pearl_325 - You are so right and you are right behind us.

@twwtoolong - How are you feeling? any symptoms?

@FlamingoGirl. I read on their website that they are also good for detecting at 5 days, I think. I don't quite remember. I may even try both and see what happens. I hope that AF doesn't come for me tomorrow and if this isn't it then I would rather have it come Saturday as I start my holidays then and would rather be bummed out at home and not be at work and not being able to eat. Now, I am almost tempting on testing tonight, argh. Even got a zit on my lip. That's new.

Hey ladies. I'm startinf to loose hope. I got home from work and just for fun and because I don't like using them. I had an HCG test strip. Not even a hint of a second line. One would think if pregnant, something might come up? Or maybe because it wasn't fmu and I didn't hold my pee in long enough. I thought I would try the q-tip to check the cm but I used a wad of toilet paper and there was a bit of pale green/white cm. Mucous plug? Any ideas?

@Dragonfly23 - I'm not sure about the cm but how sensitive was the test you used? If you had diluted urine the test might not be good enough to pick up on the pregnancy this early. Don't give up hope until AF arrives! Test in the morning with FMU. Don't worry about this test hun. Keep your spirits up AF is not here yet!

@FlamingoGirl13. Thanks hun. I have no idea how sensitive they are. I got them off Le Rouche (Conceive Easy). That is where I got my fertility pills that I take as I got pregnant the first time on it after 3 months (just started the bottle, maybe 6 pills) when I found out. I won't let this test get to me as I really don't like using strip tests. I will test in thr morning as I am feeling some tingling on my left side.

@dragonfly don't let this get your spirits down. You got this the mucous you mentioned could be a positive sign. Hang in there hun!! Hope this is your month and baby dust!!

Hi Ladies,
Sorry for being MIA for a couple of days - it's been ridiculously busy at work and I am just getting caught up on everyone now!

Midnight - I am so sorry you are having a hard time. The ladies here have given some sound advice. Sometimes you need to advocate yourself and push your Dr's to do more testing (or get a second opinion from another Dr if they won't). Take care of yourself and that little one.

Dragonfly- I wouldn't worry too much about the negative test from the dip strip, they are not very sensitive and if AF is not due for another day or two and it was afternoon urine, it's likely that even if you were pregnant, it wouldn't get picked up yet. I find this is a helpful link (https://whenmybaby.com/implantation-doubling-calculator.php). You input your cycle information and it will tell you what the Hcg level would be based on dpo and a range of implantation dates. Dip strips will only detect when Hcg is above 25. I think your symptoms sound promising!

Flamingo - how are you doing? Any thoughts on when you will test? Thanks for checking in on me! I don't really have anything out of the ordinary happening. I am trying to decide whether to test before my blood test on Dec 14th.

Welcome to the newcomers! Hope all goes well with your beta results!

Pearl - how you doing?

Hey guys
I want to play too :)

Im 9 DPO and i've been testing since 6 DPo and no luck so far :(

I havn't got the chance to reall all the posts yet , busy at work so i need to do it tonight at home .

Cheers

I'm using the tests from Ebay , i think 25 strips for $7-8 . I don't know how accurate they are, but i have a back up first response test in case i see something on my strips.

Guys if you get a positive ( fingers crossed ) how soon do you tell your parents who are asking you for kids alot and they are desperate for grandchildren ( pretty close with my parents )

I have made customised mugs ( grdapa and grandma mugs with est 2018) so i can surprise them with the mugs and let them figure it out them selves. Cant wait for that day :(
