anyone due to be ovulating week starting 21st Jan?

I've only got 1 first step left. Trying to tell my self I don't need to do it 9dpo. And I've just had some clear blue tests arrive with my shopping delivery. I'm trying not to stock pile too much or I'll just end up wasting them 🤦🏼‍♀️. X

Here are the ones I get: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00379DV16/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?smid=A4DI4ZJ5WTRP7&psc=1&pf_rd_p=8e5be0e3-b258-4b06-8b6e-695b24f935a4&pd_rd_wg=GlHJ2&pf_rd_r=A2B3R9CBJFM7237F217K&pd_rd_i=B00379DV16&pd_rd_w=FqAzs&tag=mumsnetforum-21&pd_rd_r=058be748-2875-11e9-b4ec-933b86c55cbe

Sorry for flooding the board with messages!

They're also 10ml miu so very sensitive. FRER detect around 6.5 (apparently, they don't give out the sensitivity of their tests).

To answer your question which I totally missed! I got 30 for around £5 with free delivery... sadly not next day! I think I'll get them tomorrow or weds.

@Explorers10 they're by One Step and apparently they're used by the NHS too. The company that sells them is called Home Health UK and they seem pretty well established/legit. They have a website that says they're approved by the National Pharmacy Association and are a registered Pharmacy. I buy through them through eBay/Amazon.

I get my FRERs from Amazon. I get a pack of 4 FRERS and 2 ICs for £14 including next day delivery (amazon prime). I think that's good value as they're £10 for just two tests on the Boots website.

Thanks @Explorers10. I’m fine thank you, just a bit resigned to the fact it probably hasn’t worked this month. Oh well…. Thank you for keeping your FX for me! I’m still hoping it’s implantation bleeding, but I think it’s more likely to be spotting for AF.

@HMIB I will probably retest hourly when my ICs get delivered, hahaha….

I always say that next month, I’m not going to test early and the same as Explorers - BFN gets me in a bad mood. I’m obsessed, constantly working out reasons why it could be a false negative… could I still be implanting, maybe my HCG levels aren’t high enough yet. Looking at charts on how they double after implantation etc. It’s insane.

I really ought to just bloody wait but I honestly don’t have the self control!!! Doesn’t help that I’m self employed so I can spend all day Googling eeek…. NOT GOOD!

So who's testing/re testing in the next couple days?!

So I'm due to test on Thursday at 10dpo but I've already started to think about testing on the Wednesday. But don't want to be bummed out if it's negative. So gonna try and hold on till Thursday! Gonna need a lot of will power 😂. X

Thanks @CaramelCluster me too!

Your plan sounds sensible x

Ohh that sucks @Chanel05 hopefully you and @veeboo @mussie will stick around for your next cycle. I think I'll be here too as I'm getting cramps now so pretty certain AF will start in a day or two xX

@WildFlower2019 that could still be an early test so I've got my 🤞🏽 for you that it's implantation!

AF is due next week Monday, but I may do an IC at 12dpo if anything, I feel that's a safe time to test. I'm 9dpo at the moment so not long to wait 😄

Sorry about the bfn @WildFlower2019

Just had a bit of blood as I walked out the door to work so feel like af will be here in full force later today. On to cycle 8 I go.

BFN again this morning on a FRER @ 11DPO. I really do think I'm out.

Also had a little spotting this morning, everything is crossed hoping it's an implantation bleed but I think it's the start of my period. I had about 3 days of spotting before it last month. I'm on Day 27 of my cycle and they can range from 27-31 days. So it'll be that.

if it is BFN I'll stick around for the next FW. I hope everyone else does too!

Anybody else testing today? xx

@veeboo sorry that the witch got you. Baby dust for next cycle. 12 days is fine I believe. Mine ranges between 11-14 days for lp.

@CaramelCluster no problem! Fingers crossed your symptoms are a positive sign! Xx

@KatnissKringle doesn't sound stupid at all! It's nice to hear about actual women going through/have gone through it.

I have symptoms but they are those I usually get with PMS so I think mine is down to the rise in progesterone. So slight cramping in the lower abdomen area (TMI but think it's down to constipation more than anything) and getting hot flashes here and there. Boobs get tender a few days before AF but will see if it's any more tender than usual when the time comes. Only 7/8dpo so early days yet. Insightful though thanks hun! Xx

@CaramelCluster with my first I had such painful boobs. I do get this as a sign AF will arrive soon BUT they were so so sore, I can't even tell you! And this was a week before my period was due so really odd as I generally only get PMS symptoms a day or two before. I also just knew I was pregnant. I know that sounds stupid and is easy to say in retrospect etc. but I did. The first test I did was bfn and I told DH it was a dud. Researched the best test - found mumsnet and got myself an early response that was a (faint) positive the next day. I believe I was 12dpo. Line got darker over the next few days and a digital confirmed pregnant 1-2 weeks at about 15dpo. So yeah - boobs and a 'gut feeling' for me! Are you getting symptoms?

So...I'm new to this game of chance and hopefully the experience mamas out there can help: is symptoms before AF true for you? I've been reading a bit on it today (google is baaad) and I hear mixed reviews about it being all a myth. What are your experiences if you've had children and had symptoms before AF is due?

Ah sorry @veeboo hopefully next month brings you all the luck!
12dpo is fine I've read - between 12-17 is normal. 10 or below can be difficult.

I spoke too soon. AF has arrived. At least I roughly know my luteal window now it's been 12dpo for two months now. Is that too short?

@Explorers10 I haven't got any FRER's yet. I've got 2 clear blue and 2 Sainsbury's cheap ones. So I'll probably use the non digital clear blue first. As that also gave me a positive at 9dpo last time. Then if i do get a BFP I'll go out and get some FRER's to test the next day! 🤞🏻. And yes way too early to test. I'm going crazy though. Gonna be the longest 3 days 😂😂. X

@WildFlower2019 fingers crossed or you too.

I had a dream the other night that someone was opening all my cupboards and drawers and pregnancy tests were falling out all over the place and I was trying to justify why I had so many :) had a lots of weird vivid dreams the last few days... An ovulation sign maybe...

I actually only have one test in the house and hoping to wait until I am SURE it will be a BFP. I always say this then test way too early haha!
