Anyone testing just before Christmas?

Jesus I've just tested with another FRER and I think I can see something 😱

@Bbutterfly I know it is so disheartening and I know it's still early but just don't have the feeling, but as I say, will wait and see! Hoping you get a Xmas bfp too. Not over until af arrives!

@LizzieLottie88 same. I'm only 8 or 9dpo and have been testing with ICs for days despite knowing deep down that this isn't our month. Even wasted a frer last night 😅
@Bbutterfly FRERs are on offer on amazon at the moment so I've already stocked up. Oh the money I spend on pregnancy tests...

@Mystie are you going to test again? I bet you were so shocked seeing the line! This could be your month 
@LizzieLottie88 I know I'm already debating whether to pop out and get more tests maybe a frer as I've read clearblue aren't reliable? it just disheartens me I'm 12dpo now. You are still really early so not over yet, I really should just wait if af turns up this weekend x

@Bbutterfly oh of course they were both negative. I'm only 6dpo I just can't help myself from seeing if anything has developed 🙈 why do they sell tests in packs of 2 cos then I think we'll ill do I e now and save one for later 🙄 nightmare! Don't feel its my month anyway :/ wait and see.

Oh god now I'm confused, only watched frer for a minute at 6am this morning as was half asleep and went back to it after breakfast and there's a vvvf line, tried to upload but it isn't visible when I upload it. Ran the pee stick under water to see if it was evaporation but it's still there 😳 also got a high OPK of nearly 1 just now 🤔 I guess I've just got to wait it out to see if it gets darker!! Fingers crossed for my ladies 🤞🏼

Congrats on your lovely news @TunnocksTcake glad one of us has got their bfp! @LizzieLottie88 let us know how you get on?!xxx
@Spark27 enjoy the Christmas party if af doesn't turn up I'll prob test again at some point the weekend. Don't know why I tested this morning it's like an obsession! X

@LizzieLottie88 yes you can!

Anyone know if you can use multiple tests on the same sample if you dip? Want to try a digi and a strip. Holding first wee of the day while I wait so someone please help 😂

Congrats @TunnocksTcake that's so exciting!! X

Just posting as yours came through @Bbutterfly. Sorry about the bfn, but you're not out yet. But guilt free alcohol can now be consumed (well, maybe not right now )

Women's bodies are such a thing of mystery xx

@LizzieLottie88 only 10 dpo and 6 days until AF is supposedly due. But the last one was so ridiculous I don't really know how long it went on for, and I had 2 ovulation tests that looked positive a week apart. So I'm pretty clueless this month .

I'd like it to happen this month, but expecting it won't so will put more effort into next month.

Hoping that @Bbutterfly gets some good news x

@Spark27 @Mystie
Cd30 12po too.
Hardly slept all night thinking about testing and got a BFN so I guess we're all feeling like we are out! As you said at least we can crack open the baileys...
Do your best to try and wait @Spark27 I know it's so hard though! No idea when I'm expecting Af.
Keep us updated, have a lovely day ladies xxx

12dpo and BFN for me to this morning @Spark27 like you said at least we can enjoy a few guilt free drinks now but still never gets any less disappointing, especially when you spend the night before dreaming about BFPs. Oh well, onwards! Have acupuncture today so at least I'll be able to rant to her and relax for half hour. Might even have some Christmas cake today 🍰

Wishing you baby dust @Bbutterfly really hope it's your month xxx

Sorry to hear that @spark27 (won't let me tag you for some reason), never out until af arrives! Do you know what cycle day you're on or how many dpo you are?

Woke up early this morning and decided to do a test. Obvs got a BFN. Not surprised as it's still really early to be testing, just really annoyed with myself for caving.

But, I've got an Xmas do on Thursday night so it does mean I can have some guilt free wine and blue cheese. Yay. Given that I have no idea whats happening with my cycle this month I'm going to assume that I'm out and just try and wait for AF without getting stressed about it (what will probably happens is that I might manage to hold off til Saturday before I give in and test again )

Fingers crossed for you this morning @Bbutterfly xx

@Bbutterfly ahh good to know we're in the same boat! I've just done last pee of the night so absolutely no chance of testing again tonight 🤣 really hope you get a BFP!! I'm defo feeling like I'm out this month but being able to really enjoy all of the fun over Christmas is softening the blow, this time next month I'll be 😭

Make sure you post your results in the morning! 🤞🏼 x

@Mystie I am new to Mumsnet and also going to test tomorrow morning! Also just finished a big back of buttons :)
came off the pill last month and thought I'd track my ovulation as I know it takes your body time to get regular again (and to see if I do ovulate) I ovulated on cd18 according to opk. No idea how long my cycles are since this is my first month off pill. I BD on cd18 just by chance it was on the same day as ovulation. Tomorrow morning will be cd30 and I think I should test? Please let me know how you get on! Already hooked on this app! Xxxx

@spark27 God I always end up spraying my hand and legs when I poas haha 🙈
Did another test today, same extreme faint line but actually less than the other one I did the day before. Might get a different brand and try that in a few days just cos I can't help but poas and see if anything progressed! 10dpo according to app but 5dpo according to cm. @TunnocksTcake
I feel you on the Christmas chocolates! Trying to lay off it though to see if my bloating is actually just me being a pig 😂

@Mystie I always dip, others all that will happen is I pee on my hand

@TunnocksTcake
@Spark27 thanks ladies! Resounded myself to waiting til the morning and think I'm going to dip instead of poas see if that helps! Hopefully was just a random dud! Meanwhile ashamed to say I've just finished the quality street tin a week before Christmas 🤣 at least if af arrived on Thursday I can blame it on her 🤓

@Mystie oh that is so annoying! I used those cheapies and they were fine I think they just have a short use by date of 2 months or something... hopefully the next one will work for you!
I did more tests this eve and got my pregnant 1-2 weeks on digital so feeling more sure of it now. Did a one step cheapie at the same time and it was stark stark white so they obviously aren't as sensitive as they say! Something to bear in mind for future testing!

Hey @BBLibra my af is due on the 24th too. Not sure when I'll test. Part of me wants to know ASAP, but then I'll probably worry and not trust the result, or be upset earlier.
Fingers crossed for you.

@Mystie, no don't say that, I bought some of those cos they were so cheap. 11dpo is still early as they say implantation can go up to 12dpo, and then can take more days for levels to be high enough. Your not out. But I still say go for the Baileys if you want one. I drank a fair amount before I knew I was pregnant with my DD and all was fine (even though she's a crazy loon )

Probs another reason I don't want to find out too soon as then I'll have to say goodbye to alcohol, pate, good cheese.....

A bit late to the chat but joining in anyway...! This is our first cycle TTC. I THINK I’m 8dpo based on temp spike on the 10th and my normal cycle lengths (my OneStep ovulation sticks didn’t light up at all this month! Very frustrating) Planning on testing on Thursday (10dpo) with FRER but telling myself it will probably be negative. AF due on Christmas Eve. Hope I’m doing everything right as so new to it all! Please correct me if I’m doing something wrong

I've just tried to test at 11dpo and the Amazon bought frer didn't even work!! Biggest anti climax ever and so annoying that I now have to wait til the morning 😔 almost certain I'm out but wanted to be sure before I crack open the Baileys! Anyone else else had a faulty frer before? Might explain why they're only £5.99 for 2! 🙄
