Lucky thread for all those around 7dpo...

Hi girls

Thought it might be useful to start a thread to get all those of us who are down to our last week of the tww together and who are going to start testing soon!

Let the symptom sharing etc begin and let's pour all our best wishes in for plenty of bfps this coming week!

Who's with me?

Can I join at 11dpo negative on frer so not feeling that positive but trying to think there is still chance. when is everyone testing?!

Potkettleblack2 · 22/01/2018 19:36

I know Jlamb! I don't know with certainty when I ovulated, but I think I'm 10 dpo. With DS1 though I didn't get a bfp until a week after my missed period, so I may have to wait longer than average....

Jessabean · 22/01/2018 19:31

@Owlpatrol I totally agree! My argument to OH is that they're the same price as a coffee which I'm not having at the moment so really it's costing us nothing!

Owlpatrol · 22/01/2018 19:17

@JLamb89 I know my dh asks me how many I have like he's some kind of pregnancy test nazi and I'm like they are £3 on Amazon for 10 so I think I can afford thay for my own peace of mind!

JLamb89 · 22/01/2018 19:16

@potkettleblack2 just hold off for fmu ! How many dpo are you ? If you’re eggo is preggo lovely your hcg May be too weak to test tonight ! Best chance of BFP on fmu !

Potkettleblack2 · 22/01/2018 19:14

Defo a line there! Woohoo! I bought some FRERs today and it's taking me all my will not to test this evening

JLamb89 · 22/01/2018 19:13

@jessabean can definitely see a line !! Just get that frer ready for fmu to confirm it !!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I did midwifery and fertility was brushed upon in the training and implantation can happen anything from 6-12 days . We are all unique and fx that we will implant tomorrow on 9 dpo being the most common day for implant! But hey it’s definitely not over until AF rears her ugly being ! Also we have a normal time limit til 12 dpo anyway !!!
Having all my knowledge doesn’t stop me obsessing about POAs everyday though haha oh dear !

OH asked where all the pregnancy tests have gone so I looked like a crazy woman telling him it’s basicly my new hobby ...

Jessabean · 22/01/2018 19:02

Thanks @Celebelly is good to know I'm not going completely crazy & imaging what I want to see!!
Just really hoping it's not an evap! Thinking of testing with my FRER with FMU tomorrow morning to try to be more sure. Might hold off another day if I'm feeling brave...
Don't worry from what plenty of others on here have told me 8 & 9 dpo have been negative even on FRER to then be positive couple to even few days later. My FRER was a defo negative with FMU Sun morning. Not over till the fat af sings!

Love2cook · 22/01/2018 18:57

I see a line Jessabean! Massive congratulations!! Smile

Owlpatrol · 22/01/2018 18:56

@Jessabean deffo a line however yes I have heard about these being notorious for evaps. If you've got frers in stock try one in the morning eeeeek exciting! Xx

Celebelly · 22/01/2018 18:49

Defo a line @Jessabean !!! Didn't even have to zoom in on pic.

Celebelly · 22/01/2018 18:48

I was sure I'd implanted on 6dpo as I had weird pains but was prob just my mind playing tricks on me. I've eaten the world today to try cheer me up!

Got some FRERs in stock and will be back to positive self tomorrow!

Owlpatrol · 22/01/2018 18:46

Yep positive vibes all round girls. I have a good feeling this month as I have no real af symptoms however it's still early but looking back i have usually started cramping by now

Jessabean · 22/01/2018 18:46

Ok so I caved this afternoon and POAS - was afternoon pee and cheap Co-op test as I was really expecting will be BFN & didn't want to use up my FRER- stupid to test but thought it would stop me obsessing for a bit this week!
... think I can see a really faint line in test window ... imagining it? but not sure if could be an evap as left it for just over the suggested 10 min wait (~ 5 mins extra) many people have experience with these tests and likelihood to evap? First time I've used them. Think am about 10dpo ish. Why am I so stupid for testing early & putting myself through this! 🙈

@Filzma @surreygirl1987 @Celebelly I've just read that the average day for implantation is day 9 therefore we may not even have implanted yet!!!! It would then take 2-3 days to show up on a sensitive tests. Let's keep positive...

@Owlpatrol if you have a few Superdrug ones there's no harm in doing one tomorrow but be prepared for a BFN as it might be too early! Apparently ICs say they are more sensitive but actually they often seem to show up fainter than the 'proper' ones. Superdrug ones have good reviews though. I did an ic and a frer on the same day last cycle (10dpo) when I was pregnant and you could barely see the second line on the ic but clear as day of a little faint on the frer. I'm going to do a frer tomorrow (9dpo) then if bfn ic on wed then keep alternating until 12dpo when I'll consider myself out and wait for AF if I've not had a bfp. Good luck! Xx

Sorry about the BFNs. I had a wee cry today even tho I know it's only our first cycle and it's still early. DP was very sweet and said we'll just have to do it next month instead, but I really felt like we had done it! Silly me

Celebelly · 22/01/2018 18:38

Nothing today Sad starting to think I'm out even tho I'm only 9dpo. Will test tomorrow morning. Sending positive vibes to everyone!

surreygirl1987 · 22/01/2018 18:38

Got a bfn this morn and was absolutely gutted! Dont know why i expected anything else!

Owlpatrol · 22/01/2018 18:30

I've only got 3 ic 's left and 4 Superdrug tests question is do I test tomorrow with an ic or wait till Wednesday. About a week before af spotting due xx

Filzma · 22/01/2018 16:58

Succumbed this afternoon at 8/9dpo and BFN! Why smh?! Ladies, can one of you get some sense through my thick skull? TIA.

Owlpatrol · 22/01/2018 12:43

@mamabear05 hehe for testing! I was a good girl and held off this morning because I was in a rush and wasn't in a good mood. Not been sleeping well. Got the most mildest metallic taste earlier which I'm trying not to read into. Come on Wednesday I need to test!!

JLamb89 · 22/01/2018 11:39

*4days off AF not 5 🤦🏼‍♀️😩
