.. December/Christmas & New Year's Eve Testing Thread .. (17 BFP's so far..)

When should a test show positive xx

 

[russellmuscle]

Depends on what one your using love? If its a FRER Id say definitely by 4 days before your periods due, thats what Ive did past 2 cycles and its been right.

It depends on how far you are atm and what sensitivity of test you are using.

I use this: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy_test_calculator.php its quite helpful, esp if you know when you ovulated.

Just a test from mortisons, xx

http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/am-i-pregnant/208279-pregnancy-test-sensitivity-list.html

or here:

IC's usually 10 mIU/ 25 mIU
One step High sensitivity - 10 mIU
Superdrug - 10 mIU
First Response Early Response - 12.5 mIU
Sainsbury's own - 15 mIU
Morrisons - 15 mlU
Asda - 15mIU
Poundland- 20 mlU
Tesco own - 25mIU
Clear blue digital with conception indicator is 25mIU
Boots own brand - 50 mIU
Clearblue Digital - 50 mIU

So Morrisons own is 15 MIU and going by your AF due 7th-9th Id say that would prob be a bit early, but perhaps possible. Only if your period was deffo due 7th.

A FRER sometimes doesnt pick up 5 days before and thats like a 12 mIU.

Your better with IC's until closer.

Is the test better higher st 50 or lower at 10 xx

 

[Wilson28]

P.s alot of short briefs im not sure what they stand for xx

 

[russellmuscle]

ICs is internet Cheapies. MIU is measurement of the HCG in your system.

The lower the MIU the earlier you can take it.

So the best and most reliable out there is either the Superdrug own brand which is 10 I think, and the FRER - First Response Early Result. Which are BOGOF from Boots Atm.

So I am going through a bit of a reality check the last few days. The BFN last month was a total blow to me after DTD ALL the time and the thought keeping going around in my head that after a MC you are that little bit more fertile.

Yesterday marked exactly 9 weeks since we lost our little boy. It is just a matter of days before the results are due from his post mortem. Today I have gone through my wardrobe and drawers and packed away all my maternity clothes - a big thing for me as I was hoping to be using them again very soon. But I've come to the conclusion that it's not going to happen anytime soon. It took a very stressful 4 years to get a BFP so I'm going to try relax and enjoy myself over Christmas and be very thankful for our gorgeous daughter we are already so lucky to have. In the new year, I'm planning on making an appointment with our consultant at the fertility centre and take things from there.

If I go quiet on here it's because I'm trying not to think too much about things and roaming these boards every day sometimes can get me too emotional. I will be about next week when AF is due just to post another BFN... so I'll not be gone fully.

Good luck to everyone this month

PP xXx
