Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?

@missnena FRER is not all it’s made out to be. It says 6 days before missed period, which is really only 5 days before your period is due (cos it’s not actually missed until the day after iyswim) and also, I’m not sure of the actual numbers, but on the side of the frer box it says it only shows for 62% of women. So please don’t give up hope! You’re not out til the red lady shows her ugly face!

Well I ordered some FRER which arrived this morning. my AF is due Sunday! And I just couldn’t help myself but test late afternoon and it was a BFN! 😞 so I think I am out this month! Will test again maybes tues/weds if AF hasn’t arrived.

This is my tests from my last pregnancy in March. Not really much difference between the £1 shop one and the FRER

I’ve got some pound shop HCG tests does anyone know how reliable they are? Probably going to test monday if my period hasn’t come but they’re all i’ve got in!

I’m 14dpo according to my tracker app but not sure how true that is as the chemical really screwed up my cycles!

Think I'm going to test on Sunday too... jumping on the band wagon! AF due Wednesday so it's a bit early. Don't have any tests in so it depends if I manage to nip out to get any before then.

@mmmgoats - oh really, that's interesting, although still pretty sure I am not.
I know what you mean about testing early for the weekend, I was thinking it would be quite nice to be able to drink 🍷! Although I know if I test and it's a bfn I won't properly trust it until AF is late so I wouldn't drink anyway. Therefore I might as well wait. There are a lot of us testing on Sunday.

What is most annoying is that my AF symptoms are exactly the same as pregnancy ones! Nausea, dizziness, cramps. I looked at my notes from last cycle and sure enough had all these symptoms before AF came. Only two more days before AF now though so at least I will know one way or another soon.
The tww is horrible!!

How many dpo are you @mmmgoats?

@flapjackered I wouldn't put everything on temping - especially in the heat. My friend has been temping (I haven't) and this recent heatwave has played haywire with her chart, climbs and dips all over the show that don't necessarily correlate how they would normally. Hers dipped before AF was due and she still got a BFP...

Tempted to test today despite all symptoms disappearing. AF due Saturday. Someone talk me down!!
I just couldn't bear it if it was another chemical but at the same time I've got plans at the weekend and in the week/following weekend that involve drinking.

@purplestar9 ah yes I remember now! Good luck. 🤞🏻

I had quite a big temp dip today, just above cover line so sadly I think AF is on her way. 😢

@FlapJackered if I go by my app then I'm 15 DPO but I'm thinking I ovulated late so I'm probably more like 9DPO. I think my cycle is longer than I originally thought to be honest.

@HettyBettyBoo I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get your BFP soon!

@purplestar9 what dpo are you now? Not out until AF turns out

@HettyBettyBoo - sorry to hear that, it maybe just too early? What dpo are you?

Aw thanks all. Did a FRER with a held onto wee earlier which was total stark white, not a hint of a second line ! Proper pre AF cramps this evening so the dreaded IC evap strikes again I think. onto 15 months ttc for me.

Will test again with everyone at the weekend if AF has not shown. Good luck to all. Keep up the symptom spotting.

almost certain that it isn't going to be our month this month :( i just have that feeling

@HettyBettyBoo I see something too!

@hettybettyboo I can see a line on that ic. This thread seems to be pretty lucky 🍀

So I caved... I wanted to wait till the weekend but we have a few things going so tested tonight. BFN as expected. If AF hasn't arrived by Monday/Tuesday then I'll test again but I don't think this will be my month unfortunately. But I'm not 100% out yet!

@HettyBettyBoo my IC from yesterday has nothing on it yet I got a faint pink line on FRER!! Yours is looking good....

Had some cramping today! Only 6-8dpo so too early to be a pregnancy symptom surely, but I rarely have cramps before AF and if I do they are no sooner than like 12 hours before.

Trying not to test until I'm late...

Saw 3 magpies this morning!

7dpo here and no real symptoms to speak of. Slightly tender boobs but that's normal for this point in my cycle (also I might have poked them to check quite a lot of times!) More CM than usual but I had that last cycle too and I definitely wasn't pregnant then - I think it's a post miscarriage thing, not a pregnancy thing.

Well i think i’m out, any symptoms have completely disappeared. Due AF on saturday so trying to hold out til then but we shall see if I manage it....

@HettyBettyBoo sorry I missed them earlier.
I see what you mean, I do see something but it is very faint. I was reading reviews about the ICs the other day and so many people said how bad they were at showing positives. They say they're not as sensitive as they say they are. So hopefully that means you may get a stronger line on a different brand :) Fingers crosses for you!
