gotadolly Hoe are you getting on? Are you still testing or waiting?

GotADolly · 19/09/2017 20:21

@ladydolly it was a First Response, the pink one. This is cycle 9 of trying and I'm beyond despair SadConfused

ladydolly · 19/09/2017 19:57

gotadolly How confusing, what brand of FRER is it? Not that it really matters I suppose. I don't know what would help. I would say pick one brand and test each day with that. I would suggest waiting until Saturday but you sound like me and there's no way you'll do it :)

I got some early response tests cheaply on amazon and I'm getting a better result on them than the FRER. I just did a little experiment and used the IC FR which was lots darker than the one this morning, an ov test which gave a line and then a 'normal' IC and got a definite but still faint line. AF was due today and I've been getting positives for 3 days. I've got nausea and pulling and yet the standard tests are only just showing a faint positive. Just shows you really aren't out until AF shows because even with enough hormones to make me feel crap I'm not getting really dark lines yet!

@Chels04 welcome! I think you have to give it time to settle down. Don't expect anything to happen right away (although it might!) your body needs time to get back into its routine

Chels04 · 19/09/2017 19:30

Hi all. Im new to mumsnet!
I have just started TTC. Took my patch off 3 weeks ago and have been doing ovulation tests every day but every day its negative??
Is this normal or should i be worried?
I promised my other half i wasnt going to get obsessed with it and let nature do its thing but that hasnt happened 🙈 its all i can think about!!
Xx

I did ovulation and pregnancy tests yesterday. See attached. Then did early tests today, one FR and one Clearblue. FR def negative and clearblue had slight line but I'm not sure I trust it. Advice please! I think I'm losing my mind.

Congrats on all the bfps so far!

Gotadolly ovulation tests can pick up hcg.

GotADolly · 18/09/2017 13:16

Oh ok I see- think I'll (try and) wait a couple of days then do an early test.

MynameisJune · 18/09/2017 11:54

@gotadolly LH and HCG are of a similar molecular make up so it seems that some people get positive opk's when they are pregnant as the tests are quite broad spectrum. It doesn't work the other way around though, if you've got a positive pregnancy test then that has detected HCG, 5 days is early to get a positive so maybe you ovulated earlier than you thought.

GotADolly · 18/09/2017 11:28

Sorry to hear that @DragonsandDungeons. Does anyone here know about using an ovulation test as a pregnancy test?! Is this something you can actually do? I'm not due AF until Saturday and got positives on pregnancy and ovulation test today so now I'm confused. Yes, I did it really early as I was feeling so run down.

LadyPug · 18/09/2017 09:56

Sorry to hear that dragons :-(

DragonsandDungeons · 18/09/2017 08:46

It was an Evap. Retested today and nothing. I think FRER are shit, I always get inconclusive results with them.

LadyPug · 18/09/2017 08:30

Thanks dolly I didn't mean to put that on this thread! Baby brain started already!!!

GotADolly · 18/09/2017 07:51

@LadyPug I hope you have something else to wear! Good that your husband is honest!

GotADolly · 18/09/2017 07:50

@ladydolly definite positives, congratulation and lots of 🤞

LadyPug · 18/09/2017 07:17

Oh Jesus, I'm 5 weeks today and I've got a bump! I usually wear smart dresses for work that aren't really baggy but stretchy jersey type material. DH just said omg you can't wear that! I look massive!!! Bloating I hope!!!

LadyPug · 18/09/2017 07:12

I can see them also ladydolly congrats!!

MynameisJune · 18/09/2017 07:06

@ladydolly I can see them! Congratulations, keeping everything crossed this is it for you.

ladydolly · 18/09/2017 06:56

Here they are... its not in my head is it? They look much clearer in person.

Ok line is much darker today, for now, bfp. I'm not heading over to the other boards yet, did that time I had a cp and it was awful having to leave.

So, more finger crossing needed please.

DragonsandDungeons · 17/09/2017 18:22

I never had this before my loss so possibly. I'd say they're evap lines but Evaps on EVERY test? My other negatives don't get Evaps.

ladydolly · 17/09/2017 18:13

dragons My acupuncturist says chemical pregnancies can be down to egg quality but also if you cycle isn't settled. So I've had one (possibly more than one) and she thinks it's just because my body isn't settled from having my coil out. I know that won't make you feel better but could it be you're not settled after your loss?

GotADolly · 17/09/2017 18:00

@DragonsandDungeons this is so weird. I have had exactly the same! Positive tests then period a couple of days later. Doc also thinks I've been having early miscarriages.
