hi marie
oh dear what a big NO-NO!!! HPT's are evil at this stage. I know its hard to resist tho..... don't mean to lecture
Ok well, i managed to resist doing a test until i went to the clinic for my bloodtest. I was so happy that it came back a BFP!!!!! the following day, first thing in the morning when they say its strongest (TMI!!

) I did a HPT cos i so wanted to see it for myself .... and this was day 19. The blue line was there but it was so so faint i prob wouldn't have thought it was positive unless i had been told the previous day that i was pregnant! If I had done it early it wouldn't have shown up.
I have heard of lots of people doing test 2 or 3 days early on this message board and they often come back negative - but then they get a BFP on the day.
try not to lose heart and keep positive thoughts flowing!
Good luck - everything is crossed for you!
