Hi Jo<br><br>I still have mine, over 2 years on from doing the test! So if you're weird, I don't know what that makes me! (Actually I have 2 test sticks so do you think when my two leave home in 17 years time, I should give them one each in their keepsake boxes?!)<br><br>Jules

Hi Rach<br><br>I say you get all sorts of pains when your pregnant. I have been feeling great the last couple of days (touch wood) apart from the dreaded heartburn. I am going to the midwife today at 10:45 got to have my routine bloods done. Even though I had IVF I am still not so keen on having this needle done I am just one big baby. How you feeling today Rach?<br>Luv<br>Shell.<br>xx

Well Jo (and others), I do have my HPT stick, I even took a photo of it, in case the line faded iver time..I was just in shock that the tests actually come with that miraculous little line, I'd done soooooo many tests previously (pre-IVF) where I was convinced that the test was faulty, so when that line appeared, I knoew I was treasure it for some time to come!!!<br>Can anyone top the photo?? (or am I completely and utterly bizarre???)<br>Belinda

Bel, have to say that it could be a good idea to take a piccie. The Clearblue test that I took has now completely faded although the pink dot ones (can't remember the brand) are still going strong 2 1/4 years later.<br><br>Jules
