Frer indents and bfps?

So.... Some advice needed. Last week I done a frer. Straight away... An indent... And I could tell it was an indent. I could see the dip in the strip at the edges of it and it was a dark one. If I hadn't done about a million tests in my time I could of mistaken it for something else. But just to be sure I took it out... I held the strip up to the window and it was a very obvious dark grey line. However... This morning I done a frer. Straight away the faintest of faintest lines, straight away. to me, it looks like it has colour but I don't know I can't even get a picture of it. After about an hour of freaking out I decided to see if it was the same as last week indent. I took it out... I held it up to the window and.... Nothing. Couldn't see a grey line, couldn't see anything. But looking at it normally there's something. Does this mean its not an indent like last week's? Could it actually be a very early bfp? Any advice or experience or help would be much appreciated ladies Grin

So you have had back pain constantly? Where is the pain? Intermittent cramps with dull back ache is a very good sign from what I have always read. Where’s you cramps are they towards your pelvis or in your lower abdomen?

Ameliasmummy12 · 01/11/2018 12:35

Hopefully 🙈
No I don’t take a picture otherwise I would certainly be obsessing tweaking it and looking at it constantly so I just threw it in the bin! I’m hopefully going to pick some up later this afternoon for tomorrow. Maybe I should send some to you they’ll arrive before yours 😂😂

Donnawoo09 · 01/11/2018 11:48

Do you have a picture?

Hopefully baba making itself comfortable ☺️ I'm still getting alot of back pain and the bottom of my stomach isn't constantly sore but now and again it's just crampy and little pains. Really feeling different this month. It's my back that's got me wondering. I usually get this for a couple of days before my period but it's been days now! And still no sign. Hope we're both lucky this month 😁 x

Yes it looked more obvious than yesterday so fingers crossed, I’m not convinced until I see a dark line due to chemicals in the past. But I’m so, so poorly today. Hubbys having to come home from work to look after DD whilst I go and get checked over, have the most severe cramps in my upper abdomen that actually feel like contractions is crazy painful. I was so sick in the night and today I don’t know what the hell is going on with me!

Any sign of delivery yet? 😂😂

Donnawoo09 · 01/11/2018 10:58

Omg the lines getting darker? 😀 Yay that's a really good sign! I'm not very patiently waiting for the postman here 😂 desperate to test. If its a bfn I'm seriously gonna be shocked and phone my gyno and ask whats going on with me lol

Ameliasmummy12 · 01/11/2018 09:10

That’s a really positive sign I’ve read that too and was one of the first things I noticed, mine sort of changed shape a few days ago too if that makes sense. I hope your tests hurry up too! I can’t wait for you to test.

I did my last test this morning and got another faint line, more noticeable than yesterday. And I woke in the night really sick and couldn’t get back to sleep. But I will test in a couple of days and see as I dont quite believe it until it’s dark 😂

Please let us know as soon as your tests arrive, well, after you’ve tested if course x

Donnawoo09 · 01/11/2018 08:30

Even more eager for these tests to turn up today. I noticed something very strange last night when I undressed to have a bath. I caught myself in the mirror and thought omg! My nipples are all bumpy! 😮 So I looked online and it says when your pregnant your Montgomery glands on your areolas can't get really noticeable. If I get a bfn now I'm gonna be absolutely devistated. That was something I've never seen before!

Fingers crossed for us both tomorrow!! Xx

Donnawoo09 · 31/10/2018 17:25

Oooooooooh hopefully 😆 hopefully we'll both be testing tomorrow! And both good news pleaseeeeeeeeeee 🤞🙏

Ameliasmummy12 · 31/10/2018 16:32

Ah yes @Donnawoo09 I ordered them once and they took forever! That’s why I asked 😂 it’s the worst wait ever!

Well. What I didnt say. I didna cheap test from body care this afternoon you know the 3packs? Clear and simple ones, and I got the faintest of faints! Like invisible and thought I was going mental kind of faint. I’ll do another in the morning and see but I ain’t holding my breath! Hopefully yours will be here tomorrow x

Donnawoo09 · 31/10/2018 16:10

@pinkstar01I can't see if there's an indent...but there's sort of a line where one should be. If it's disappeared it's. Possibly dye run, where the dye just gets caught in that area and then disappears as it moves along the strip. Possibly.... Test again and hopefully 😊

@Ameliasmummy12 they were early tests off ebay, they were supposed to be here yesterday... At this rate I won't be needing early tests! I've sent a message to the seller, very frustrated... I sat all day waiting, dying to test here! 😂

OP posts:
Ameliasmummy12 · 31/10/2018 15:27

@Donnawoo09 what tests have you ordered? That’s annoying how long are they taking! I was wondering if you had tested today!

pinkstar01 · 31/10/2018 15:16

@Donnawoo09 yep here is what it looked like within the time period but I checked later and it was all clear so no idea whats going on, my AF is due tomorrow and I feel like I am so gonna test with FRER soon!

Frer indents and bfps?
Donnawoo09 · 31/10/2018 15:06

Indents are awful. Praying mine wasn't! Didn't seem to be any kind of dip in the strip like an indent... But you never know do you. I heard super drug tests were very reliable too! Do you have a picture of it? Foes it have colour?

OP posts:
pinkstar01 · 31/10/2018 14:57

I just took a superdrug test and got an indent for the first time ever, even the other test from the same pack didn't give me one a week ago so now I'm in the same boat, waiting to test with FRER! Hope you find out soon too OP xx

Donnawoo09 · 31/10/2018 14:53

Still no sign of these tests. I'm getting quite irritated now. If there's nothing by tomorrow I'm just going to buy frers. Money doesn't matter now I need to know. Still feeling the same and now my boobs feel achy, not to touch but just an aching feeling across the inside my chest behind my boobs. Strange

OP posts:
Donnawoo09 · 30/10/2018 14:13

Tell me about it! 😂 I haven't said a work about any of this to my husband because I know I would get a lecture on how we took a month off to relax and de-stress.... I'd rather just be like hey guess wot.... Surprise! 😌 But probably too much to hope for 😩

OP posts:
Ameliasmummy12 · 30/10/2018 14:07

Yeah hopefully there’s an implantation waiting there somewhere 🤣🤣
It does take over your mind completely. I promised myself I wouldn’t obsess this month but of course that’s like resisting chocolate 🤣

Donnawoo09 · 30/10/2018 13:53

Aww what a bummer Sad if you ovulated on the 19th or 20th that's still quite early though, hopefully you implanted late. So hope you get a bfp, I'm so worried about testing now. So distracted the past couple of days, can't stop thinking about it.

OP posts:
Ameliasmummy12 · 30/10/2018 13:44

Oh yes I remember you saying now. So my tests arrived around 20 minutes ago or so, and of course I did one, it was a stark BFN! It’s a 3 pack which I didn’t know. So I’ll do one tomorrow with fmu.

I agree nobody is out until AF arrives! I wish your tests would hurry up now!

Donnawoo09 · 30/10/2018 13:30

18th not 28th lol

OP posts:
Donnawoo09 · 30/10/2018 13:20

I think possibly ovulated around the 17th or 28th since I had the discharge those 2 days but really have no idea because I wasn't trying this month. So maybe 12dpo? The test I done would of been around 8dpo. You never know, just because you don't feel it today doesn't mean your not. Until af arrives there's always hope Smile

OP posts:
Ameliasmummy12 · 30/10/2018 12:47

Well my tests are due to arrive in the next hour or so. I would say I am going to try and hold off testing but I know that’s not going to happen! I’ll be ripping them from the delivery mans hand!
I don’t have positive vibes today. I’m feeling very much ‘not pregnant’ compared to other days. Everyone is different and can experience different symptoms I know but I just don’t feel it. I think my faint test the other evening was just a typical blue dye test falsie.

Are you going to test today if they arrive? The sore boobs and back pain are definitely good early symptoms. I can’t remember If you said how many dpo you are?

Donnawoo09 · 30/10/2018 12:30

Tests still haven't came yet Sad slowly losing my patience here lol. Any updates? I've still got back pain which seems to be up at the back of my ribs now too and constant. Painful! And my boobs feel a bit sore and still weird feeling in my stomach, not a crampy period pain still though. Was exhausted again last night. Hoping it's all a good sign. Hurry up tests!
