@LucyC10 - thank you, how are you doing now? Hugs xx

@TrevorJ I did my test at about half 2 in the afternoon, not the morning. Just made sure I hadn’t drank too much for a few hours prior x

TrevorJ · 15/07/2018 20:04

Sorry for my atrocious typing earlier. Didn't manage to get an frer there were none in the Tesco Extra, will have to make it to a chemist tomorrow as I dont think I can wait much longer. Do you know if there is much difference between FMU and other with FRER?

(This is mumplanner- I decided I’d prefer to use my name)
@Charlotte1x - that’s so positive - I knew it! Very pleased and excited for you. Although that sucks about the bacon 🥓😂
When I got my BFP - I suddenly felt like I had made a mistake - so I understand having another feeling - I read that was very normal. X

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 19:28

Thank you all so much :) I’m over the moon, but got another feeling as well which I can’t put my finger on but I think im also a little bit scared. Just natural I guess.

@Bas27 do you think I’d get a positive result if I tried a digital tomorrow? X

Bas27 · 15/07/2018 18:00

@Charlotte1x are you kidding? The rest line is darker than the control line on frer! You are doing great :)
My ic line is also fainter than frer by quite a lot.
I'm going to keep testing until frer goes darker and ic shows up more then do a digi to confirm and hopefully then hang up my testing gear. X

Congratulations @Charlotte1x !!! That's a great line! Don't worry about the IC their reviews are pretty terrible these days and I had a false positive on one last cycle.

TrevorJ · 15/07/2018 17:34

@Charlotte1x that's a great lone on the free, I wouldn't worry about the other one. Congrats!!

TheMagicTorch · 15/07/2018 17:23

@Charlotte1x that is a flipping strong line on the FRER! I think the line looks good on the IC as well, though sensitive I don't think they're as obvious as the FRER from what I've read on Amazon. Huge congratulations!!

@mumplanner I'm so sorry. I hope it's not a chemical and it turns out okay for you.

We had a chemical last month and had told both sides of our close family and although it was hard updating them we were very very thankful for their support. Keeping my fingers crossed for you petal xx

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 15:52

Here’s a pic - do you think the line on the cheapie should be stronger? X

Anyone just starting the tww?

Hi all. Well after I retched at the smell of bacon cooking this afternoon I’ve got a test and got a BFP! Very strong line on the FRER but not very strong on the Internet cheapie even though it’s 10 Miu.

I’m in shock tbh, over the moon but in shock and I burst into tears. This is first month of TTC DC1 so I feel very lucky but also a bit scared because I’m getting quite bad cramps. I’ve had these for two weeks now though so hoping it’s just my body welcoming the bean.

Thanks for all your support guys and my fingers and crossed to see your BFPs really soon! Xx

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 14:39

Oh no @mumplanner I am so sorry to hear this. Have you got any cheapies that you can monitor the strength of the line on? X

Sending lots of hugs to you x

TrevorJ · 15/07/2018 12:14

@Mumplanner my goodness I can't imagine what you are going through. You can go to the epu if you feel you want to. Sending internet hugs.

Mumplanner · 15/07/2018 12:01

After my pain in the night, I had a bad feeling so I did a clearable dating stick this morning and got a BFN. I just did a second one which came back as 1-2 weeks so it makes me think that this may be a chemical pregnancy :( I'm heartbroken as we decided to tell our close family yesterday.

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 10:34

Fingers crossed for you @AngelMiracle

Sorry @donna474 - hugs 💐 x

TheMagicTorch · 15/07/2018 10:16

@Charlotte1x sounds like a good plan! Enjoy your brunch x
@blueartemis don't count yourself out yet especially if it's not normal for you (easier said than done I know) 🤞
@Donna474 sorry to hear that lovely

Angelmiracle · 15/07/2018 10:05

@donna474 good luck 🤞 I'm 8dpo have no symptoms it's putting me off testing next week 😑

donna474 · 15/07/2018 10:01

Test done and BFN ☹️

donna474 · 15/07/2018 09:55

12 dpo today and my app is saying to test today. Really don't want to as know it will be negative, need to get it out the way though

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 08:48

Thanks everyone. I know it seems like I can’t make my mind up but decided against testing this morning! I am going to meet friends for brunch for a birthday at 11, and I thought on the off chance that it’s a BFP there’s no way I could sit there and act normal! Will definitely test in the morning, I’m off work and no plans so I can either celebrate or open a big bag of choc and feel sorry for myself.

No more spotting this morning, it was just the tiniest bit last night and that’s it! And sorry if TMI but it was amongst a lot of discharge which also isn’t normal for me before AF (I usually dry up) so don’t know what to think.

@BlueArtemis if spotting isn’t normal for you either then it isn’t over until you’re in full AF! Keep us posted xx

TrevorJ · 15/07/2018 08:32

@Charlotte1x Brown discharge can mean so many things! Good luck with testing, at least you'll know!

I thought I could see something on the test this morning but it didn't stick around. Off to get a frer as soon as the shops are open.

BlueArtemis · 15/07/2018 08:24

Well I tested this morning and BFN Sad I've also got some brown spotting and my temp has dropped, so thinking AF must be on her way Sad clinging onto the last hope that it could be late implantation (I don't usually spot at all before AF either), I'll wait to see if AF arrives in full force then might allow myself a gin as a consolation prize!

FlapJackered · 15/07/2018 07:50

Good luck with the testing @Charlotte1x 🤞🏻

@FSlater 9dpo is still early, you're not out yet - maybe try again tomorrow?

Mumplanner · 15/07/2018 03:52

Hi @Charlotte1x - I’ve just been woken up by cramps too!
It all sounds to me like it could be part of the implantation process - that little nugget might be burrowing itself in there and causing the brown to appear. It’s so hard to know.
Good luck for your test in the morning - I will be keeping everything crossed for you x

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 02:44

Sorry if this is TMI but now I’m a bit confused! My CM is now white/creamy again. That’s what it was like earlier but with a bit of brown when I wiped a couple of times but nothing further seems to be coming. When I start AF I don’t usually spot much, just bleed red blood nearly straight away and then it’s more brownish towards to end of my period. So now I don’t know what’s going on really.

Don’t think I’m going to test on Monday, I’ll do one in a few hours to finally put myself out my misery! X

Charlotte1x · 15/07/2018 02:13

Hi all. Woken up in the night to bad stomach cramps and there was some brownish discharge when I wiped :( think this is the start of AF and I’m out! Gutted x
