I used the old holder then with a test stick from the new box and got an error message. One was bought in UK & one was bought in ROI. would this matter?
Thanks calm your Rita’s and louk. I wrote within the spoiler of my last post that the test turned out to be positive which I’m delighted about. I included some details around it in my previous post too. It’s extremely early days but really hope it sticks x
I only have the old fashioned clear blue stick reader, not the fancy machine. With mine, you can always remove the stick and read it yourself, there will be two lines, but it's nowhere near as comforting as that smiley face
I honestly think you are pregnant!!! I was around 5 weeks pregnant and that damned digital one told me it was still 1-2 weeks, so please ignore it and have faith. I remember the sickness kicked in around week 7, so get stocked up on jelly babies and maoam strips, or something made of pure sugar that you can suck on!I’m good thank you @fishsticks - mostly just tired. I’ve got some worries which I’ve popped in a spoiler box as they are around test progression and I don’t want to trigger anyone who may have had the same. I’m keeping my fingers tightly crossed that I’m worrying for no reason and everything will be fine
I am still having some big worries around test progression which I’m hoping will go away. I keep telling myself I’m still only 15dpo so the fact I’m not getting dye stealers yet doesn’t mean something is wrong. Internet cheapies we’re getting darker each day but today’s test looks slightly lighter than yesterday’s.
Also on Monday I tested positive on CB weeks indicator and it said 1-2 weeks, redid it yesterday morning and it still says 1-2 which obviously put panic into me. Though that day would literally be the day of 2 weeks so maybe I shouldn’t expect it to say 2-3 yet? IDK but if the same happens to any of you ladies I would advise you not to google it
also remember that your levels double every few days so taking tests isn’t always an indicator. The clear blue ones are notorious for not changing (if you read mumsnet ever it will tell you how many people have the same things!) and they’re so finicky on the levels. You could be just under the cusp for it to tick over or your own personal hormone level might not read what it wants (but remember, whatever is normal for you, is the most important)I’m good thank you @fishsticks - mostly just tired.

Thank you grumpycat
You always help me feel better with your lovely posts! I don't know if that's normal or not!Welcome & good luckHello!
Dipping my toe into the thread as after lots of serious chats with my boyfriend over the last month or so we are taking the plunge and going to start TTC. I'm on my period atm but then we'll get things going and stop using protection. I've been tracking periods /ovulation since coming off the pill last year so I'll use that as a guide for now and if nowt happens will look into being a bit more precise maybe.
I feel so nervous for some reason, a bit like I'm sitting an exam I've not studied for
Hello, not sure if it's helpful but I used the strip ones and I just felt like I never really got a really dark line. I worried I wasn't ovulating but with the CB test after a few days of flashing faces I got a static face. So I now just go off what the CB tests say. Someone else might be more clued up than me on it though. xx
totally normal and I even feel the same about TTC number 2Hello!

Tested again today & got a static smiley. Panic is on now to find time today to DTD as husband is working
I have never tested positive on the strips but have on CB!
Same here, not sure if it’s because I drink lots of water or I just have a short LH surge, but I never get the super dark second line like I see some people share - I’ve literally only seen that about 3 times in the 3 years we’ve been TTC. Almost always get a static on CB though, sometimes goes straight from blank to static.
Both my clearblue and my cheap OPK have matched up this month shockingly! But I have def missed it previous months on the OPK.
It’s so frustrating isn’t it when you DTD at what you think are the right times & it still doesn’t work.Hey all! How are we all doing? Haven't been on this thread for a while.
Thought I'd update.
This cycle #3 we decided to relax on the temping and opks.. Took a cheapie yesterday and it was negative. I have no idea where I am at in this cycle but I'm confident it hasn't been successful
Next cycle, I'm back on BBT temping and OPKs... can't understand what im doing wrong
I guess I just wondering if anyone else is the same and any way to relax about it.
