What's a frer?

Oops typo. The superdrug packs have 2 tests in each (not 3!) So 4 in total.

So I went to superdrug and got 2 packs of FRERs. Each pack has 2 tests. So 4 FRER tests! They were on offer Smile

Also got 2 packs of superdrugs own brand tests... Each pack has 3 tests. So 4 of them as well! LOL Grin

FULLY STOCKED UP!

Will use superdrugs own ones to begin with and see what happens. If I get more faint lines I will upgrade to a FRER.

Keeping everything crossed it was a real line and not an evap line or anything dodgy like that.

bloumer can I ask, what issues have you had coming off the pill?

Bloumermaid · 21/08/2013 11:50

I agree impatiently, on the bus on the way to work after my doc's appt and am glued to this thread!

Gilly I deffo see a line there. Evap line is when it dries and it would not be dry after 5 mins. Also if the control line faded it's not surprising that the pg line also did - you're not supposed to read the result after a certain period of time, they're less reliable. So I think it's looking hopeful - can't wait for the next installment tomorrow!

Doc was great this morning after my scathing comments about newbie male docs - he said his fiancée is having similar issues coming off the pill as me. He thought it sounded like my body is sorting itself out and we should keep dtd.

Have sore boobs for the 1st time this week (+ my usual suspect symptoms), had ECWM last week so who knows, may get that BFP next week...

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 11:23

Ooh yeah, good point. I just know I will wanna test at 10dpo but will try to wait later!!

impatientlywaiting · 21/08/2013 11:21

VJones, it just means if you pee in a cup you have more of the precious FMU to test to your hearts content with numerous tests rather than having to wait until the next day.

VickyVix · 21/08/2013 11:17

Gilly for what it's worth i can see a faint line :) best of luck to you, keep testing and fingers crossed it will get stronger.

And, Well done to all you other ladies on your BFPs too, I've been stalking you this month (sorry) but never boarded the bus! It's great to hear all the good news.

Think I'll join the September bus

KittyCatKittyCat · 21/08/2013 11:16

Gilly that's exactly what mine looked like around that time, thought I was going mad and not to kid myself. A few days later and it's clear and definitely real. Eek!

KittyCatKittyCat · 21/08/2013 11:14

I found that piac (or piar in my case... I did giggle at myself), produced a better faint line, than poas. When I poas I didn't always see it properly (the faint line, had to squint, hold it up to particular light etc), but piar had a line I could see.
Now at the point I really do get B-FAT-P's regardless of method, but piar was good for earliest days before AF due date.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 11:04

Why's that? It piac better than poas?

impatientlywaiting · 21/08/2013 11:01

Oh my God, most exciting morning on the bus ever!

Congratulations to all of the lines, both the strong and the faint ones. Gilly I've checked and I can see a line. And a line in a line. How exciting for you all.

I think we should make it a rule that to join this thread you need to pee in a pot only. No peeing on sticks allowed. When I got my BFP in July I straight away afterwards dipped 3 IC tests in at a time to my pot to watch the line form in the same place on each one and it straight away took the uncertainty out of it.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 10:59

Yeah, 9dpo is a bit early isn't it?

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 21/08/2013 10:57

Sorry, I meant that in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way - I hate it when people greet good news eg. pregnancy with the ha ha, your life is over, DOOM! kind of response and I accidentally just did exactly that...

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 21/08/2013 10:54

Well, enjoy the cinema while you can! Because if pregnant it won't be long before you a) can't stay awake the full length of a film and b) will have to pee 6000 times an hour so will be unable to follow the plot anyway. And it's not anymore viable with a newborn either...in fact I struggle to get there still even though ds is 2.8... :)

gillywillywoo · 21/08/2013 10:46

Probably only about 9dpo! So early days I suppose!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 10:43

Good luck gilly. How many dpo are you?

Original poster
gillywillywoo · 21/08/2013 10:40

Starting to think its an evap line. Even though it definitely showed up within about 5 mins.
God I wish I never tested now! Should've waited!!!

Anyway almost at work so gonna try and focus on WORK! DH is going to pick me up later and we are going to nandos and cinema so that will keep me busy!

Oooh thanks rocky.
I'm not feeling very positive.. I prefer to stay a bit pessimistic but HOPE for the best if that makes sense! Grin
Will get some more tests on my lunch break today and test again tomorrow morning... And every morning until the end of time! Lol Grin

Just wanted to add that I can defo see a line on there gilly, I think with evap lines they are noy quite as straight and well formed as yours!

Hope you'll be adding yourself to the bfp list soon when it gets a bit stronger!
