Kuki - you know that if it is not read within the 10 minutes it is not a valid reading.
I know no one can tell you not to, but please leave the tests alone.
My pregnancy test with Charley was 17 days after egg collection and it was a very feint line with 1-2 weeks on the digital.

Dad is fluctuating in his levels of confusion. One minute he seems his normal self, the next minute he is saying stuff that means he is misinterpreting information from around him. He was asking me yesterday why they had all the windows above the bed open when it was so cold on the ward. There weren't any windows - he was seeing the hospital above bed tv gagets as window frames.
It is all very strange and frightening to watch.
I went to do some Christmas shopping at bluewater last night and it was horrific. So many cars. Could not get in or out. Charley got fed up and upset. I was getting really stressed. Had a little panic attack about all that is on my plate at the moment. Not only Christmas and a baby, but Dad and all that is going to entail and having to travel so far to see him everyday in the Christmas shopping traffic.
I have no idea when I am going to get around to friends, buy and wrap up presents, put up decorations or do food shopping.
I had the worst headache last night too. I have not had one as severe as that for a long time. It was throbbing everytime I moved.

 what can I say?! you are only 7 days past transfer. I didnt have any pregnancy symptoms the last time until 2 days before testing (13dp3dt) , when i was pregnant the first time I felt implantation pains etc 8 days past transfer so each time is different. Leave the sticks well alone - you are punishing yourself on a daily basis enough with thinking about it. I have a good feeling about you so just try and enjoy being in PUPO xxx

 you really are having a stressful time No wonder you have a headache  dont worry christmas will be over very soon and we will be doing it all again next year!!! Â

Good morning darlings,
Yesterday eveing a awful headache started and has not stoped all night. It feels like my core of brain is thumbing..
I don't get headaches. Certainly not this sort ever.
I had pregnancies signs all day yesterday but last night they stoped. Breasts are not tender and my pains are stoped.
I did my Reprofit test this morning and there is a vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv faint line. And DH confirmed it. I woke him up at 6.09am for him to check if I am making it up or not. He says there is something in there.. But like a shadow really. Now I am worried they try to implant and but could not do it properly.
Well see if gets darker. But I don't have the same test. I still have my stupid cheap testers. And they are so bloody crap. 1st and last time I buy them. With twins well Lara I had a vvvvv faint line on 8dp3dt as of today.
Staying positively and hoping they are setteling in nicely for next 8 months.
Lara has developed a cold/cough yesterday so we had an awful nite. I think today and tomorrow will be tough but by christmas she should be okay..
Mega busy day we have see how much I can get with my lovely thumbing head.
Love. Kukixx

OMG. I'm almost going as mad as you are Kuki. Not surprised you've got a headache with all that stress. Though I am just as bad. Of course I logged on just to see how you are doing, and am thinking about it far more than Christmas
It's too early to get any pregnancy signs at all - either way. You won't get them for a few weeks. It's just the drugs giving you similar symptoms and that will come and go.
If you insist on testing early please, please throw away all of those crap cheap testers and go and buy 4 first responses. It's not a lot of money compared to the money you've spent so far or the money you'll need to spend on therapy if you keep using those cheap sticks.
I'm still feeling very positive for you......

Hey Button - how about a weaning set (bowl, spoon cup, some nice bibs) or some helium foil balloons (loads of fun over Christmas and they stay fun when they are going down as the foil rustles) or a bubble machine (both ages will like that) or a bumbo or a picture for his room that's fun or bath toys (not really toys!) or some Disney DVD's (or in the night garden?)..

Hi ladies,
Kuki - for a good result for you. Hope your headache eases. You poor thing xxxxxx
Reb - That's what I call a SMACKDOWN!!!!  Kuki, Reb is way more scary than anyÂ
Button - . Love Reb's suggestions and would also add a book to the list of potential suggestions? That's what I always buy babies. It will last longer and ultimately be more educational. Dr Seuss is always a favourite. Bright colours and nice rhyming patterns which babies like. This informative message was brought to you by Expat.
Holly - It's so incredibly difficult to watch a loved one become confused like that. After her fall my grandmother had put on 3 nightdresses and Mum said she unwrapped a bought sandwich and tried to eat the packaging. It almost sounds funny but it was so hard. She did improve though after the fall and as I said earlier, I really hope that is the case with your Dad.
Em - pleasant surprise about the earlier appointment. It's always nice when a system which normally causes people stress does something good.
Hope everyone else is well and that the lovely little Easter chicks are enjoying the lead up to Christmas.
AFM - Maddi has been much happier lately which has been great. It was a difficult phase and she still has difficult days but today she was just adorable. Her favourite game at the moment is peek-a-boo and she can play for ages and has started to laugh which is so nice (I know babies are meant to do that at around 4 months but she was never that happy!).
We are hosting Christmas lunch tomorrow for my extended family. DH is the cook out of the 2 of us and is planning to bake his first ham. Wish us luck!!

I don't think anyone is trying to make you feel guilty Kuki - we are just trying to protect you! After all if you are pregnant (hope, hope, hope) then you are opening the best christmas present early! I can understand why you want to know though. You have been on a journey and a half. It is about time it worked for you.
It is so utterly exciting. Personally, I almost don't even want to know on OTD and I wait because it is too stressful to have half results that you don't know if they are real giving hope or false hope or knowing it was a chemical. For me personally I want to have an accurate result as late as possible so there are no doubts.
Glad Maddie is happier - Charley loves peek a boo and we play it all the time. Guaranteed to raise a laugh as are kisses and raspberry blowing in the nape of the neck and tasty toes or this little piggy!
Button - Charley loves books. Especially his crinkly squeeky cloth book he can scrunch himself. The other thing in John Lewis I have bought is a baby's first Christmas photo album. It is made of felt with santa on it. That would be his pictures unique to him and his first Christmas.
Have we heard from Stephi?
Hope everyone else is having a good Christmas.
Been trying to manage. Lots to sort out. Been looking at Dad's house prices and options to rent out for an income, refurbishment, selling, options for flats in this area, inheritance tax issues for the future depending on what we do and income tax issues for him if we rent it for income.
Just found out I forgot to renew my car tax. Had a nasty letter from DVLA today. I completely forgot. Got to rush down to the post office this afternoon to sort it out. Also been trying to redirect Dad's post but website broken. At least today we have managed to get someone to go and repair Dad's door and make it look secure. So much stress. DH has been very, very good though. He is starting to be the hubby and Daddy I always dreamed of.
Charley is absolutely gorgeous. He is coping with all this upheaval with a smile. He is so active - rolling around the living room to get what he wants. Have to supervise. His favourites are paper and computer wires! Pity they never want the loads of safe toys they have, only the stuff that is not a toy! He has just had a cube of parsnip puree and baby rice for lunch and is now asleep.

Holly - I think (hope!) Kuki meant I was making her feel guilty because I told her I'm thinking more about her embies than Christmas!! We're also on another thread for over 40, own eggs you see - but I'm afraid all I want for Christmas is for those embies to settle in (and anyway my family is busy fussing over M so I won't get a look in! )Ooh yes Expat - book is a good idea. I love Dear Zoo and then the soft, folding out books by Lamaze are really nice too. So cute Maddi loves Peek-a-boo - and really glad she's smiling again.
Off to office party - eeek. Bye

hi
just popping in to send a group
Kuki thinking of you i agree cheapy hpts are nasty, infact i got a bfn with one on OTD when my hcg was 109 go figure that one out!
Holly thinking of you
Reb nice to have M fussed over will they share the sleepless nights!
I dont think we have heard from steph hope shes all loved up with her gorgeous
GJT enjoy London
Ex Pat glad that M seems more settled
hope the christmas getogether goes smoothly
Sorry to all i missed we left this morning to go to see specialist at 7am got home 730pm, i think next time i will stay over as am exhausted sadly DH has to be in work tomorrow and i have my furbabies my niece will happily come and house/petsit had i asked her but was short notice
Specialist was lovely, he says that Z has never really been in remission since August if hes not negative for protein for at least 3 days hes not in remission and since his steroids were dropped 2 wks ago he hasnt had a negative for 1 day let alone 3
Z is tomorrow starting on a new medication which he says puts 80% of children with his condition into remission within 4 wks, the drug is usuallly given to treat cancer in children and likely he will lose some hair but should regrow, he will also need weekly blood tests to check his white cell count due to the new medication he will have an 8 wk course and hopefully we should see improvement if theres no improvement after 4 wks they will be doing a biopsy on his kidneys, we have a contact no for a renal nurse 24 hrs should there be any concerns and he feels that keeping Z out of school hasnt made a difference so he would be happy for him to start in the new year
Though i do have to go back for more medication on 18th Jan
