Hi Ladies!

My partner and I have just started ttc and this is our first cyle. My period was due yesterday for me, the 5th, and I have been having cramping like mad, but no blood. My CM has been like a white lotion and my bb have been sore, I've been nauseous, even had the weird taste in my mouth this morning.

So I got really excited and went to the pharmacy and bought a cheap hpt, Crystal Clear, and just tried for the heck of it. 1 line!! =( So sad!! I swear it feels like I'm preg, but, I dunno. When is an expected time for a positive result?

I keep looking at it hoping it will suddenly have two lines. I think it's making me crazy with anticipation!!

Thanks,

Jen

If your period was due yesterday.. You should be ok to test now. Usually for HPTs the most accurate is the days of your missed period or any days following. You said you got a cheap test.. so the test may have needed more muI of HCG then you body has yet (not sensitive enough)... Try using Clear Blue Easy Early Result.. or First Response EARLY result. They are the most sensitive and reliable from what i read... I hope this helps!!!
