OK - so I'm not getting excited and I know that they say that you're not supposed to read the HPT's after 10 mins, but you know how I was saying that I got that more sensitive one from the chemist and I tested at 12.45pm?? Well it didn't have a line and 3mins, so I got the $hit$ and just put it back in it's packet - well it has a feint line this morning.

Here's an email I got from my BF this morning. She is TTC starting this month.. she has 2 kids and she conceives first time every time, including when she had 2 or 3 MC's. She sucks!!

I told her what I told you girls ... how I tested at 4am and again in the morning and then went to get more from the shops and then tested again ... she says ...


all that sounds SOOOOOOO familiar!! de ja vu! except i usually made Matt run out and get more tests!

the second test BFN might just be cos u hadnt stored up enough HCG again - that's why they say to test first thing in morning after 4 hrs sleep. also when u sleep ur body metabolises more. so u'd collect more hcg over 4 hrs sleep than 4 hrs awake. 'they' reckon not to read anything on the stick after 10 mins or so, but my earlier ones only became dark enough to make out after 10mins when the pee had dried off the stick. its easier to see the contrasting colours without the water reflecting the light and diliuting the colour. remember the first pics of ava's HPT i sent u? they were about a day old when i took the picture, so they were even fainter straight after POAS. the were so faint that Matt was sure he COULDNT see anything on them. bring it/them over, and i'll use my eagle eyes to check it out. i'm like the HPT stick whisperer! :P

from memory, u definately o'd earlier last time cos otherwise u couldnt have gotten preg cos u said u didnt BD around the time FF said u o'd? so how many DPO would u have been if it was the earlier o date?

So emailed her back and said ...

Prolly Oed around CD13 last time, so that would have meant that my BFP was on 16DPO, I did one about about 8DPO which was -ve.

Check out my chart ... huge temp drop this morning (sleep was normal). I also have a bit of a cramping - but not really, just a feeling in my lower abdomen. So I think AF is on the way. The b!tch 20fbec Ovulation Charts

I'll still bring my sticks over anyway.

But that was before I looked at my stick from yesterday. I'm going to her DD's 1 year old birthday party today, so I'll take my sticks with me. I have smsed her and asked her to read my email, but haven't heard back from her - so she's preparing for a birthday party ... I'M PREPARING FOR A BPF please please please!!!

I don't want to get too excited ... but ... TOO LATE. At least I'm in a good mood! That can't hurt! Doesn't happen often this early in the morning!
