Slt90 when can you take a frer? And also what shops in England sell them? I went to Asda's last night and they didn't have them x

@TakeABreak2
Its probably too early to use a digital ClearBlue as they are less sensitive and 8DPO is still pretty early. Probably best to either use FRER or else wait until AF is due/late to test. You still may get a BFP!

I know I don't know how many dpo with other dc but I remember clear blue saying 1-2 weeks with both of them 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I dtd the day of obvulatation and 2 days before 🤞🏼🤦‍♀️ I forgot about the app until like the day before 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Big hugs @TakeABreak2 it's such a shitty feeling when it stays negative. Constantly reading about people getting their bfps well in advance, doesn't help does it. But then there are also others that didn't get their bfp u til a week or so after missed AF.
Ughh, keep us updated x

Just poas, big fat 'effin negative. What a surprise 😒. I hope its just because its too early, but I've already lost the optimism that I had yesterday and convinced myself I'm out again this month!

Have you girls dtd often, or just in fertile window? We literally haven't stopped, to the point where I was like. Okay, one of us is going to have a stroke or something serious. My partner has now closed the factory and is taking a break the poor sod.

There's just so many conflicting 'facts' online. Some say to dtd every other day to give the sperm a chance to reload, others say everyday as it helps keep fresh sperm flowing.

Losing my marbles.

I have noticed a higher sense of smell? I don't know if that's because with my other 2dc it was my worse symptom all the way to the end along side morning sickness so I don't know if I'm imagining it but twice yesterday to the point last night I had to hang my head out a window while the hubby cooked steak 🤢🤢🤢 and a stitch like feeling in my left side not a pain just dull xx

@TakeABreak2 it’s gutting isn’t it.

I took another FRER and can barely see anything but a smidge of a line. The digitals need more hcg than FRER, most don’t get a pregnant on those until after AF due.

I developed a bad headache last night and nausea which has continued into today. At work when I want to be asleep in bed!

Hey everyone bit of an update today is 8dpo and I read some people had positives by now.. took a clear blue weeks esitimator.. WOW getting a bfn is bad but it's forgettable reading the words NOT PREGNANT is a real kick in the gut 🤢

Hey @jaggynettle. It's so addictive isn't it, once you have the tests at home it's so hard not to use them up 🙈. Praying it happens this month for us all!

jaggynettle · 22/08/2019 22:02

Also 7 dpo 😊 no symptoms apart from what feels like a pulled muscle sort of discomfort on L side of my abdomen. Definitely not testing until later in the month - was so sure last year was my month and spent a bloody fortune on preg tests!

LosingtheTTCplot · 22/08/2019 21:20

@TakeABreak2 7DPO but have really short cycles. Due on the 27th.

They are FRER - First Response Early Response. You can test 6 days before missed period. Although I’ve read they can have indents

charlie0692 · 22/08/2019 21:00

Hey everyone. I'm currently 6dpo according to an app, af due 29th/30th. I am trying not to symptom spot but the wait is driving me insane! I bought a load of cheap tests online so tempted to test every morning from tomorrow until af due ha

I'm usually pretty regular due about the 1st/2nd and app says I ovulated on 15th so I guess it's pretty regular 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I can't really remember to be honest with other dc I was trying for dd1 but not properly like if it happened it happened if it didn't then it wasn't the right time kind of thing and ds2 was after a mc so my head was all over 🤦‍♀️ I've never tryed as hard as I have this month tbh

Nuttypea · 22/08/2019 16:44

🤣🤣 Oh no! You could always say you're on antibiotics for an infected toe of some sort... Too embaressed to get it out to prove it but can't drink because of them.

My friends know me too well, if I wasn't drinking they would be on it straight away. Hiding it is going to bed so hard when the time comes! Let us know x

LosingtheTTCplot · 22/08/2019 16:23

@Nuttypea due on 27th.

I’m due to go out on a serious bender on Saturday so will test on Saturday morning and not sure what I will do if it’s a stronger BFP as cant avoid the evening. I’ll just have to go up to the bar and act drunk maybe?

Nuttypea · 22/08/2019 16:14

I can see a faint line @LosingtheTTCplot when is your af due? Fingers crossed for you xxx

Nuttypea · 22/08/2019 16:13

4th cycle for me, so not long at all but long enough to feel like it's going to take forever! I've got an app which I log my symptoms etc in, it's really accurate for my periods and have been using it for over a year. Haven't used opks yet, just go on cm and hoping for the best. We've literally dtd most days this month so far and also use preseed. Going to be absoloutley gutted if it's another negative.

Are your cycles regular? I'm usually 28/29 days and the app always says I ov around cd 14/15 but I think that's just a bog standard time based on the average cycle.
Good luck, would be great to share a beautiful bfp together. Did you get any implantation/early preg symtpoms before you missed af with your first 2 bubba? Xx

Feel like I'm asking 50987 questions, but I'm just going insane and can't keep talking about it to my partner because I promised I wouldn't make ttc a big deal 🙈

LosingtheTTCplot · 22/08/2019 16:08

We’re TTC #3 for me and #1 for DH. My youngest is 9.

Cycle #2. Had a chemical on cycle #1, my own fault for testing early but here I am again testing early!

Here’s today’s test, vvvvfl but def there and pink IRL. Hoping not another chemical! Time will tell!

Is this your first month ttc baby no 3 takeabreak? I too plan on testing Sunday as it will be 6 days before AF... Really hoping this is our month! Have you been charting, using opks and the whole shazam? Or took a more relaxed approach? Fingers crossed for you all, keep me updated! 🤞🏻 x

TakeABreak2 · 22/08/2019 15:40

Also nuttypea hopefully this is your month! I was thinking of texting sat/Sunday I know t will still be early but it might show coz I'm sure it will be 6 days before I'm due and most test say 6 days before ?
