TWW - currently 6dpo!

@botbird84 There is definitely something on the bottom one and it is stronger than the one I did yesterday, but I really don't trust ICs any more so I don't know why I do it to myself 😩 I don't understand why a FRER would show up negative it an IC is showing a line??

@Crazymummyto3 I can sort of see something on the top one, defo something on the bottom one

I wasn't going to post this as I thought it would make me sound silly, but I thought if anyone will understand you lot will! 😂 I got a faint pink line on an IC yesterday. This morning I got a bfn on a FRER and an IC. I don't trust ICs as I've had faint lines before when I've not been pg, but because I've got lots of them I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to do another one tonight and this is what I got. The top one is this morning and the bottom one is tonight.

Hi. I’m 14dpo on Tuesday and trying to wait till then to test. I’ve had lots of cramps and spotting, but I often spot up to a week before af. Strangest symptom was 9dpo, up half the night with stomach pains and the following day I felt like I’d done loads of sit-ups. No idea what’s going on!

I hope the baby shower went ok @AliSxo .

I need to step away from the pee sticks 😩 BFN on a FRER and an IC this morning. I've stupidly just done another IC again for some reason and got a faint pink line again, but I've had this before so know not to pay attention to it...so why do I keep doing it to myself?? 😩😩

@AliSxo I hope it went ok today. I’m also 11dpo tomorrow and not a hint of a symptom. I ovulated early though so I still have a week to go until AF is actually due. The waiting is driving me mad!

@AliSxo I feel your pain today our time will come. You will have lots of fun at the shower and you are definitely not alone. Xxxx

@AliSxo hope you have a nice time today :-) it's funny as you don't know how many other women at the shower are also secretly in your position and feeling the same as you are right now! You are deffo not alone on this crappy time!!!

@AliSxo sounds like a good cry was well needed! If u can manage to resist buying anymore that's sounds like the best plan!

I find seeing negatives depressing! If u can hold out until AF either it comes or it doesn't and u have a good chance of getting a true bfp.

So I tested again. 9DPO and a BFN on my frer this morning. It's so so hard. Trying to tell myself they catch fewer than 50% of actual pregnancies this early (4 days before AF is due) and if I test tomorrow there's almost a 70% chance of it catching a true pregnancy. I feel sick, my breasts are noticeably swollen, particularly my right so I'm all lopsided!, I tried to have a drink in the pub last night to keep up appearances and genuinely couldn't take more than two sips (not like me, I love my alcohol) and I haven't been able to drink coffee for three days. This has never happened before - if I'm not pregnant this month I am genuinely quite worried about what is happening to me!

Sending love to you all xx

Big hugs to all who are out this month try and enjoy the rest of the Christmas break! Xx

Yeah I might have to though I only stopped the pill in Oct so might just be my body getting back to normal

@AliSxo that's so frustrating. Don't think I'm going to bother with FRERs any more after my last one is used.
@Wintergal that's annoying, maybe make an appointment with GP if it carries on much longer?

Morning all, I also had a BFN this morning, AF is now nearly 2 weeks late

Not only did I have a dream I was besties with Lewis Capaldi, and woke to the disappointment it wasn't real, I've also got a BFN on a FRER. I thought I saw something but think it might have just been the indent line. All a bit much for a Sunday morning! Haven't had any symptoms, any twinges or funny feelings I've just put down to too much food. Just gonna wait for AF to show on Wednesday :( I feel like such a fraud to be so upset by it all given that we're so early into the TTC process. Good luck to everyone else for this month xxx

Hey Everyone! Hope it’s Ok to join the thread. I just joined mumsnet today as currently TTC our first child and driving myself insane!!

I’m literally the most impatient person in the world so although I’m only on cycle #2 - it feels like forever! It’s nice to know there are others in the same boat.

I’m currently 10DPO and AF is due on 4th Jan. I know this isn’t my month, I can feel AF making her way and tested this morning and got BFN.
I know that I need to just chill out as what will be will be but it’s super hard when you want something so bad!!

We bought our dog some baby grows earlier in the year after an operation and I found them yesterday whilst sorting through one of the bedrooms - I want them to be for a real baby so much. I literally cried!! (So dramatic).

Those who recently got their BFP - congratulations! How many DPO were you? And on what cycle of trying? Is there anything you can recommend for a novice like myself ?
I’m currently taking folic acid supplements and doing ovulation tests - is there anything else that might help?

Done a FRER and it's a BFN so it looks like I'm out for this month ☹️

@AliSxo what did u use this morning for testing? Your pic below the bottom one there is a line I'm sure I could see one.

I'm 8dpo today and feel same as every other month trying, disappointed as we actually made an effort to dtd more in the hope it would work for us. Feel like I'm putting my life on hold on case I do get a positive but at the same time don't think it's going to happen so want to move on, so frustrating :-(
