I'm 8DPO today and am probably going to test on Thursday (trying to hold off until then anyway!)
Anyone else planning to test around that time? I have a 10 day LP so testing then should give me warning about whether AF is coming or not.
I'm obsessively symptom spotting even though I'm aware that pre AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same at this point.
It'll be DC3 for us if all goes well but I'm still just as excitable TTC this time around Blush

That's a great line @mostimproved! Congratulations!

I'm not seeing anything there prembabymum sorry.

I don't know what's going on with me. I had dark brown unusual spotting on Tuesday and Wednesday then thought AF was hear yesterday morning even though she's not due until Monday. But now she's dissappeared again, and this morning I got a BFN.
It's really annoying because for the last two years I've had regular cycles for the first time ever, and then the last two cycles (so since we agreed to TTC again) have been out.

Here is the invert. Yeah, these are so unclear! Super frustrating!

@Prembabymum it’s so hard to tell on those ICs, have you tried inverting the pic as it sometimes shows it a bit clearer? Definitely try FRER in the morning!

Prembabymum · 21/06/2018 20:35

Anything? I think I see a really squinty line... frer in the morning!

Oh congratulations mostimproved! Hope the hypothyroidism doesn't cause any issues

mostimproved · 21/06/2018 18:46

@BeeKeeping thank you! I think I’m 12dpo yes. It’s only our second cycle, but I worried I’d have problems as I have an under active thyroid - now just need to get to the docs and get a blood test ASAP as I will probably need to up my meds. I have to say that side of things is making me a bit nervous as hypothyroidism can increase the risk of MC I think, but I’m trying to think positive thoughts!

BeeKeeping · 21/06/2018 18:38

Wow! That’s a lovely line @mostimproved! Are you 12dpo? How long have you been trying? So pleased for you! 🐝x

mostimproved · 21/06/2018 18:32

So I realised I had 4 FRERs rather than 2, as I’d bought 2 x2 packs. Desperate for a wee when I got in from work so thought what the hell, let’s POAS and look what happened!! The moral of the story is don’t bother with those rubbish internet cheapies Smile

winterwarmers I can't see a line when I enlarge the pic but it looks like a faint one on the second picture when I just look at the thumbnail. Sorry I think you're going to have to poas again, good luck x

winterwarmers · 21/06/2018 13:36

No af, took my last ic and a Spanish test which I have no idea how sensitive it was. Can't really see anything but I think there is a squinty line on the ic

this is our first month of ttc so its all a bit new and odd for me at the min! have been using clue to track my cycles for a few months which I thought would make it easier to spot any new possible signs of conception etc but I am torn between noticing real symptoms and thinking I am being paranoid lol I usually get low back pain the day before my period arrives however I have had low level back acheyness for a few days now and I am still 10 days from the end of this cycle. from what I can see this really probably means nothing but having the wait to test feels like the longest few weeks ever!! #paranoidorpregnant Confused

Tinker315b · 21/06/2018 13:13

Yaaayyy congratulations @ladycarlotta we will be due around the same time! X

NoseringGirl · 21/06/2018 11:41

Sorry to hear that @Changingagain! Wishing you loads of luck for the next cycle.

Hope you get answers soon @BeeKeeping it's frustrating when everything is so ambiguous. I definitely recommend temping for keeping a good track of what your body is doing.

Thanks guys. I'm really pleased. Bit narked that I just splashed out on Thinx period pants though...

I'm kind of sorry to leave this thread cos you lot are all ace. I'll be cheering you on - send you all lots of good luck and baby dust.

Changingagain · 21/06/2018 11:07

Ah bollocks, AF just turned up, 4 days bloody early Sad
I suppose hoping on the first cycle was a bit much.

BeeKeeping · 21/06/2018 11:07

Congratulations @ladycarlotta!! Eek! What a lucky thread!

My AF has stayed away but more slight pink spotting this morning... I’m so impatient to find out one way or the other. I’m going to try and hold off testing till Saturday.. as I’ve been peeing on various sticks since 8dpo and I’m getting fed up of myself now! 14dpo today.. how fricking long is this cycle?! I thought I had a 12 day luteal phase. Definitely need to start temping next month to get some better data.

Good luck lovielies 🐝xx

mumontherunnn · 21/06/2018 10:03

Huge congratulations!!!!

Reckon I'm out, spotting today 🙄

DaisyMay25 · 21/06/2018 10:03

Congrats @ladycarlotta what a lovely line!

NoseringGirl · 21/06/2018 09:48

Oh wow! Congratulations @ladycarlotta!

Oh ladycarlotta that's a very nice line you have there, congratulations. My BFP with Ds was when I really didn't expect it, I'd only done an extra test as I was planning on getting very drunk that night!

AF not due until Monday for me mostimproved

mostimproved · 21/06/2018 09:26

Wow @ladycarlotta that’s an amazing line, congratulations! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months!

@Changingagain when is AF due for you? I feel like I need to test every day now as I’m late and just want this misery over with! Fx for you when you next test.

ladycarlotta · 21/06/2018 09:22

Oh shit, you guys, it's a bfp!! I honestly wasn't expecting it - I kind of tested so that I could stop fretting, since I was feeling crampy yesterday. And there's a line. I'm probably 13dpo.
OH is excited; I am kind of freaking out. I had a few miscarriages in a previous relationship so I'm trepidatious and trying to protect myself, but oh wow.

Anyone else waiting to test?
Changingagain · 21/06/2018 09:21

I can see something on yours mostumproved it's clearer on the inverted.
I'd say I'll wait until Saturday to test again as that seems more sensible, but who am I kidding, of course I'll be testing again tomorrow lol.

mostimproved · 21/06/2018 09:16

@Changingagain it’s very faint but I think there could be something there, are you testing again tomorrow?

Here is mine normal and inverted - I think I see something when I look at the pics on my phone but then it looks less clear in my post for some reason? Will definitely do a FRER tomorrow.
