hi there, this is my first post and would like to ask of your opinion please if possible. I have posted it on naother forum and would like to see anybody elses views if you would be so kind.

This is our first month of ttc after i have been ready to start ttc for the last 2 years but only just got finances and OH up to speed. As it is my first month I cannot be sure what day I ovulated, however I believe it to be the CD 17 or 18 by checking cm and average cycle length. We put in extra effort in bding and think we covered the fertile period ok. I am now on cd27 of a usual 30 day cycle and this is the 3rd day I have had cramping and shooting pains, they are a lot less today than 3 days ago and also the other symptoms are very hard nipples and indigestion. I took an ebay pregnancy strip test on cd25 and today on cd27 and both showed very faint lines within the time period allowed, although neither showed up very quickly. As I am unsure what day I ovulated I am finding the waiting game unbearable as we want this so much. Do any of you have any experience with the ebay tests? I know the only thing to do is wait until my af is due (on tuesday) but to be honest the wait is making me feel sick.

I hope you're all having lots of luck this Christmas and New Year!!

i used ebay test they are not very good i didnt get a clear BFP til about 5 days late, but on clearblue i got a BFP a couple of days b4, if you test with ebay ones i would wait a couple of days cause they could get you a BFN but it may not be right

How have you got on seen as today is Tuesday? Hope it's good news. What make are the Ebay tests? I was under the impression that if you got a + then it was def. a + but if you got a - it could still be a + but you just dont have enough hormone to register yet so a slight + sounds good. ( if that makes sense!!)

the best tests to use are the clearblue digital they are expensive but they tell you either pregnant or not id wait until your period if your late then do one good luck xxx

p.s ive tried the ebay ones always been faint but i used one about a month back and they were pretty good very clear some look really cheap off there good luck xx

hi ladies,
thanks for your posts, basically I tested 4 times in total with the ebay tests and the line got darker and darker. I finally gave in to a clearblue digital on new years day and tested to find an error reading - absolutely gutted. Anyway there are 2 really dark lines in the clearblue cartridge. I am not testing again, I have really sore big boobs, my period is now 3 days late and I do think the ebay tests must have been accurate. they were the one step dip sticks.

Still find it hasn't sunk in - but seems like I might be pregnant!!!!

Congratulations!

congratulations
