Anyone around 9 dpo?

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle Sad

@thatshabbychick I have to agree with @glitterandunicorns, sometimes the cheaper ones are juat rubbish and digitals needs a higher concentration of hcg for a positive.
Both lines on Frer came up within the timeframe? A
Have you got any pictures for us?

Squ1ggle · 31/08/2018 09:04

@thatshabbychick I hope it is good news, maybe wait a couple of days and then take one more test first thing in the morning for optimim hormone levels.

AF arrived for me today, 2 blummin days early so I guess my ovulation dates (as predicted by my app) were wrong as well. Have bought opks for next month so hopefully will be able to figure things out a bit more and stand a better chance

Glitterandunicorns · 31/08/2018 07:32

Hi @thatshabbychick. I'd be inclined to believe the FRER, so congratulations! You're far more likely to get a false negative than a false positive.

Digital tests need higher levels of HCG in the urine to register a positive, so if you're early in pregnancy, they sometimes won't pick it up.

Best of luck!

@lavenderlove Don't lose hope! I had no idea that using OPK's after ovulation indicated anything?!
I used a cheap test yesterday morning and convinced myself a shadow was starting, but to just look at it was a def negative. Went out shopping etc and brought a twin pack of FRER- came back at lunchtime and couldn't wait until today to try one. First one faint, but definite BFP!! Did the other one an hour later, slightly fainter than previous, but again a def line- so BFP! Hubby brought two more cheap chemists tests and two CB digital last night- yet again, I couldn't wait- both were BFN?!? I figured it must be diluted urine, so woke up at 3am and did the other cheap one and that was a questionable BFN!? So now I'm super confused!!! I can't afford to buy anymore tests really and I'm inclined to trust the 2x FRER's from yesterday. But the cheap chemists ones claim to be 5 day early, highly accurate ones as well!!???

@dreaminofholidays it is frustrating! Where are you in your cycle? I've decided to step away from the OPK's next cycle as it's making me stress out too. Hoping I can relax a bit and not think about it every single day! Haha

Thanks @thatshabbychick I'm going to test tomorrow but not feeling too hopeful. I've used an OPK today and it was a strong positive but I've been told that can happen just before af is due Sad so I think she's just round the corner.
Aw no! poor you UTI's are awful. Hope you get better soon. When are you thinking of testing again?

dreaminofholidays · 29/08/2018 19:26

hello again, sorry I dropped off for a while. TTW sounds very frustrating.

It could just be late implantation and your BFPs could be just around the corner.

I found ttc very stressful last month, hoping I can be more relaxed about it this time round but j doubt it.

How is everyone else? xxx

thatshabbychick · 29/08/2018 16:36

@lavenderlove Sorry to hear that. There is still a glimmer of hope if AF hasn't arrived. I read online earlier that quite a few women had had BFN at 9/10/11/12DPO and then suddenly get lines on say 13/14DPO. I'm in the same
boat- think AF is due Sat/Sun, done a FRER this morning and it was a BFN. I've got a suspected UTI at the moment too, so I've been feeling really shitty but been getting symptoms similar to early pregnancy at the same time, but unsure whether it's all the infection symptoms or potentially early pregnancy symptoms! I think I'm out this month too though, I just have a feeling about it x

Thank you @Akasia @Squ1ggle I would love to know what goes on inside our bodies, as I just can't understand how it doesn't happen when everything is timed correctly! Feel like there's not much more I can do which makes it more frustrating Sad going to save my other FRER for Friday as af due Sunday but I'm not holding out any hope x

Squ1ggle · 29/08/2018 15:20

So sorry @lavenderlove, it's so hard x

Akasia · 29/08/2018 12:05

Gutted for you @lavanderlove. It really looked like you had a line there yesterday.
Fed up right about now.. :( ttc is a joke!

Took a FRER this morning and it was a bfn so I'm guessing I'm out this month Sad really disappointed as I thought this was the month x

OP posts:
Squ1ggle · 28/08/2018 20:10

Ooh @lavenderlove there could definitely be a faint line there, I'll keep all my fingers crossed.
I'm out this month I think, took a frer this morning and was a clear bfn. Bought some opks and some preseed on the way home for next month

Akasia · 28/08/2018 16:21

As far as I know they only sell the FR Rapid Response but thats not for early testing. I get my frers mainly from boots or superdrug as they tend to have offers on them quite often x

Anyone know if you can get FRER's from Asda? I can't see them on the website and don't want to make a wasted journey! There's a chemist in my village but I'm not sure they will have much choice in there

Thanks @Akasia I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I see something too. Really hope it is the start of something! I don't have any frers, I only have one cheap eBay one left. I think I will buy a frer today to use in tomorrow morning Smile

OP posts:
Akasia · 28/08/2018 09:36

@lavanderlove I can see the begining of something!!
Look, I've changed it to negative and there is something there. Have you got any frers left?

Anyone around 9 dpo?
Akasia · 28/08/2018 09:18

@lavanderlove maybe you ovulated later than expected. Was reading that opks are not that reliable as you can still get a positive result but not ovulate on that date. Don't lose hope yet.
Good luck to those of you who are testing this week!

Please tell me if I'm going crazy but can any of you see a hint of a line?

I tested this morning and it was a bfn Sad I should be 10/11dpo today so it's made me feel really disappointed that I'm probably out this month x

OP posts:
Sparkles1992 · 27/08/2018 22:56

Thanks @Squ1ggle I'm unsure if I'm due Friday or Sunday as my cycles have been ranging from 28-32, no idea why! I think I ovulated on the 18th which was CD17. This Saturday would make me 14DPO.

When do you plan to test? It's so exciting but nerve wrecking too!!

Lots of luck ✨✨✨

Sparkles1992 · 27/08/2018 22:54

Hi @lavenderlove I didn't test today but I did buy some cheap tests so I may start, even though the frer would be more accurate Hmm my app says I'm due Friday but I've been having longer cycles so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm actually due on Sunday. I'm thinking of maybe testing Friday.. should be pretty accurate then!

I get the urge to POAS but when I know it's going to be negative I can resist the urge! Sunday is not long to wait, do you think you'll start testing this week or wait until the weekend?

Lots of luck to you ✨✨✨

Squ1ggle · 27/08/2018 20:26

@lavenderlove I have loads of tests, hence my lack of self control. I've got 2 frer, 2 cbd and 2 superdrug cheapies. They're calling to me!

@Squ1ggle my af is due Sunday too! Probably going to test tomorrow (10/11dpo) then on thurs or fri then I'll probably just wait to see if I'm late after that as I only have two tests left! Good luck for wed/thurs!

@Akasia it does look confusing when I've seen the charts. All I've heard is that it's a good sign if your temp stays high after ovulation? Yeh I'm going to give it a go if this month isn't my month. I work day and night shifts though so will be difficult getting my temp at the right time every day! X

Hi @Sparkles1992 did you end up testing today? It's so tempting isn't it. I used an OPK today just to curve my poas addiction! Af is due Sunday for me. Hopefully a frer would be pretty accurate for you tomorrow if you're due Friday Smile
