Waiting to try, and cycle a mess from the pill

Wow chocoholic that's some difference I done on of those like 2 weeks ago and it was negative im getting worried now I may get the FRER test kit soon just in case due AF today and no sign of it ? Hope it stays away

Yes newgirl from the same urine too!! Huge huge difference!!

Did you do those both at the same time choc? It's a huge difference. I think I'm going to get some FRER for tomorrow and do both at the same time.

God getting so nervous now .

Totally agree sunny ... crazy isn't it....

Wow choc, that's a massive difference!! They say the frer are about 6.5iu and the cheapies 10 but I dont think they really can be! Lots of people get results on the 50s before the ICs. I have a stash of ICs (because they are cheap and I'm addicted to peeing on sticks) but I think if you get a shadow on an IC it's time to pee on a proper test. X

For reference... FRER next to Internet cheapie...

FRER line came up within 10 seconds, that photo is at 10 minutes and as you can see, IC barely has a line...

Just thought it was worth pointing out they aren't half as sensitive as they make out online...

shankate I'd recommend you do a First Response Early Result test, they are more sensitive than a Dr's test (12.5 miu detection level instead of the Dr's test which is 25 miu)

Also beware of the Internet cheapie tests, frer brought my line up in under 10 seconds but the Internet cheapies still barely show it!

Ps iv a doctors appointment Friday morning will I just do a pregnancy test there and see or are they useless?

No surge this evening.... the wait goes on. Can't decide when to dtd. Don't want to peak too soon (so to speak) we just about manage eod and every day during/straight after surge

I'm flat out this weekend so cud be next week some point il be getting first response and use it 1st pee in the morning and the another one in the evening I suppose if AF doesn't arrive?
I never had sore boobs pre AF or on the pill which is why I'm concerned about it so I'm praying here it's BFP il give up if it's not :(

When are you going to test shanskate? Fingers crossed. Funnily enough I used to get REALLY sore boons before period when I was on the pill.. And God help me if I ever rolled two packs together, I couldn't even roll over in bed! Yet since stopping the pill I don't get sore boobs as pre AF symptom at all. Funny old bodies. X

Hey everyone due AF tomorrow but getting no symptoms I ran down the stairs today and I nearly cried with the pain of my boobs for some reason there feeling heavy and filler than usual ? Just getting excited but I'm afraid to test incase BFN it will kill me :(

Aw newgirl, that's pants.. How far did you go out of your way? How many dpo are you? If you are pregnant the embryo isn't anything to do with your blood supply until About week 4 of pregnancy ie when you miss a period, so I wouldn't worry too much about a glass of vino! Xx

Haha first, that's funny (although not when you are waiting bloody ages to OV)... Ovia obviously can tell if blood is shedding from your uterus even if you can't! 😂

Mostly the font of Google, (naughty I know) and a few fuzzy memories of gynae modules at uni!
It depends a bit which ones you look at but they give you a rough idea based on blood hcg levels of what average hcg is on different dpo and how it can vary for different people. Just interesting. X

Thanks choc!

Very interesting Sunny! You're the font of knowledge now .

I am in a foul mood this evening after getting on the wrong train home, debating a glass of wine but don't want to feel guilty if I then get a BFP . Aaaagghh!!

Oo that's interesting sunny thanks ☺

I used the First Response Early Result tests. £6.50 for 2 in tesco newgirl

sunny ovia had decided I am on my period!

Choc you have definitely got a line on the IC! Your hcg doubles roughly every 2 days... So it is going up significantly still at the moment between am and pm. If you Google hcg levels at days post OV you can see how different sensitivities affect results and also day/time.

First looks like you are getting there. You had a very obvious surge last month so it will be hard to miss when it does happen :)

I'm apparently on 5dpo according to ff. and 3dpo according to ovia. Who knows, will just have to watch and wait xx

Thanks for the tip choc for those of us waiting to test!! What brand FRER did you use? All I have at the moment are IC's...maybe have to get one for Friday

yvonne first response early result (high sensitivity test)

Maybe a dumb question but what is a FRER? X

I'm less convinced i am going to surge now. i think i need to stop POAS! I aback at work tomorrow so won't be able to so obsessively!
Last one was a bit lighter, but then my urine was more dilute.
I will do one more before bed tonight.

Need to chill out!

you get to doing dedicated POAS newgirl on a 77 day cycle!

Probably not relevant ladies but thought I'd share. OH insists the cheap pregnancy test strips are rubbish... so told me to do one of the left over ones this morning to prove it wouldn't picky up I'm pregnant despite our strong clear line on FRER yesterday

Low and behold... completely nothing on FMU!

Just peed again so thought I may as well dip and run 😉 also did an OPK as heard they can detect pregnancy too...

OPK test line was darker than control (yay) and HPT actually showed a line this time but V V Faint... how odd!

So my new motto is: FRER is the way to go, pee on one and then you'll know

😂😂😂

Newgirl - Fx that's implantation bleeding!! I've just been really tired. I never get sore boobs I feel like I'm missing out somehow as everyone seems to get them around af/ov/pregnancy! You could test with an ic on Friday and if you get a bfn assume it's just too early. I quite like doing ic's so I don't get my hopes up too much. I think if I made myself wait the whole 2 weeks I would get overly excited and disappointed when it's a bfn but maybe I'm just weird
