FRER on 8DPO like an idiot!

I tested today (at only 8DPO) like an idiot because the TWW is driving me mad and seems to be dragging! I almost definitely knew it was going to be a BPN but did it anyway... whyyy!! Anyone else in the same boat? I ovulated on 31st Dec (confirmed by opk and Flo app) and have 1 more test at home which I'm trying to save until Saturday/Sunday.

@mrsrichy me too! Keep looking at it and thinking there’s something there and then looking again and seeing nothing. My brain is melting 🥴 Literally spent about hour this afternoon trying to get a photo that shows it - this is the best I can do:

So lovely and reassuring to read these comments and to see we're not the only early testers!
Keep positive ladies!
Had another negative today, although convinced I saw a slight shadow... just need to play the waiting game

@mimmi91 I've had sore boobs for about a week and over the past few days I've been getting occasional cramping and dull ache in my lower back, but some people don't experience any of these symptoms. Keeping fingers crossed for you xx

Sparkle2020 · 09/01/2020 13:58

Ah you’re not alone in testing early I bloody test just about every day of the month, even before I’ve ovulated sometimes haha. Ttc is making me insane

Kendrick12 · 09/01/2020 13:56

So update on mine. Took another FRER test this morning with FMU and the line is even more faint than yesterday's. I'm not convinced now and a little disheartened now I'm getting pains like AF is gonna come! 😢😢😢 xx

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 13:52

@Crazyfor3 wow that's amazing about a positive so soon at 10dpo!!! I'm testing tomorrow at 10dpo, so hoping for even a squinter.......
Did you have any symptoms prior to that?? Am worrying because I haven't really (not even cramping/sore boobs :( )

debbs77 · 09/01/2020 13:45

Very true about symptoms.....let's hope they lead to something!

Crazyfor3 · 09/01/2020 13:22

I tested on Monday at only 10DPO and got faint positives on FR. I've had daily faint positives since and AF isn't even due until Tuesday 14th. I can't quite believe its been detected so soon! I've had a chemical pregnancy before so it's too early to celebrate yet, but it is possible to see that lovely 2nd line at 10DPO 🎉 good luck to all xxx

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 13:18

@debbs77 at least you seem to be having promising symtpoms! :D

I don't have any... :(

debbs77 · 09/01/2020 13:09

So pleased I'm not alone!!!

I've got sore boobs, indigestion, aches in my tummy and back, nausea, and I just had to undo my trousers to be comfortable! Haha!

AF is due next Friday. This waiting is soooooo long!!!!

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 12:53

@beaniesunrise welcome! We all seem to be very close in our cycles :) At least when we all get our AF's next week we will be in it together lol...

My HCG tests have just been delivered... I will not test today, I will not test today, I will not test today...........

beaniesunrise · 09/01/2020 11:48

Hi guys can I join in -

I'm 8DPO today, 2nd cycle ttc #1. OV on 1st based on my app.

Been reading loads of these forums day/night since decided ttc so wanted to finally post and follow! Might test saturday(10dpo) or sunday (11dpo), was thinking of testing today hence on this thread, bought loads of internet cheapies and FRER/CB.. gosh the waiting is horrible and AF is due Thursday, makes it feel like years away.

Feeling crampy and fullness since 6dpo and thought had implantation spotting for an hour too. Kinda fatigued and tired today Hmm

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 11:25

I’ll test again tomorrow at 11dpo but feeling really sad today too! Bfns suck. Don’t know why I put myself through it!

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 10:40

I'm going to do my first HCG test tomorrow morning at dpo10... Anyone else with me?

Also feeling so depressed today! I'm so certain I'll only get BFN's over the next few days :(

Why is this TWW so hard ; it's unfair to us ladies... I'm pretty sure my husband has completely forgotten that we're TTC, and patiently waiting for me to ask for some BDing...

kell2126 · 09/01/2020 09:57

@HarrietM87 ah OK well at least that explains it – I was getting vvvfls till 10dpo on my first IVF transfer (fresh, so triggered). Sorry for the disappointment but as you say you're def still in and the watery mouth thing sounds promising – I've read a few posts from women who were pregnant who had the same symptom, in one case to the extent she had to carry around a little cup to spit into!!!

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 09:05

Definite bfn this morning! And I realised (like an idiot) that the line yesterday is probably the residue from the trigger as my ovulation was triggered this month. Still don’t think I’m out as have that weird extreme watery mouth, but feeling pretty disappointed as was really hoping for a line today.

kell2126 · 09/01/2020 07:56

BFN for me this morning Sad

@HarrietM87 and @Kendrick12 how did you get on this morning? hopefully some nice progression :)

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 06:55

@Kendrick12 I can definitely see a faint line!!!!!! Yoohooo!!!

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 06:38

@Kendrick12 definite lines there - congratulations!

kell2126 · 08/01/2020 22:39

@mrsrichy omg your ceiling caved in?!? no one was hurt i hope! not in any shape or form a welcome distraction but at least it's keeping your mind off the 2ww! sorry for tmi but i had a very strong but fairly brief feeling on 6dpo like i either needed to run to the loo urgently (ifyswim Blush)or throw up. I've had it before around the same time in cycles where i've had a bfp (CPs unfortunately Sad) so am very slightly hopeful. But could have just been something i ate so who knows? Since then have been constipated and mild cramps but nothing to write home about.

@Kendrick12 I see it clearly on both! congrats to you! do you have another for tomorrow morning? FX that it's darker for you!

Kendrick12 · 08/01/2020 22:21

Hi can I jump in on this I tested today using FRER I ov'd on 29th/30th Dec making me 9/10 dpo I think I got 2 very faint lines what do you all think?

FRER on 8DPO like an idiot!
mrsrichy · 08/01/2020 20:01

@kell2126 I had cramps when I ovulated on 31st Dec and EWCM but nothing since really. Trying to put it to the back of my mind and not get my hopes up! Had pretty stressful stuff going on at home (ceiling caving in due to a leak) so that's taking my mind off the urge to test every 10 mins! Have you noticed any symptoms yet?

So lovely to hear there are a few of us with similar dates :)

I'm 9DPO too! I am waiting till Saturday to take my Clear Blue early detection test as I will be 12DPO. Fingers crossed for us all x

Nat4392 · 08/01/2020 19:22

I ovulated on 1st Jan, the TWW is driving me mad. I’m trying to wait til at least this weekend before I test. We will see if I actually have the willpower to wait that long! I’ve had noticeable cramps the last 2 days which I hope is a good sign. Although I’m trying not to get ahead of myself as I’m a chronic symptom spotter!

mimmi91 · 08/01/2020 19:21

I'm also 8dpo today (I think)!!
Haven't tested yet as it's only my first cycle trying, but I have bought some cheapie ones on Amazon, which arrive tomorrow... So will test on first morning pee on Friday AM at 10dpo...

Has anyone had any symptoms? I'm symptom spotting like craaazy. I've had veryyy loose stools since dpo5, and yesterday I had a sharp pinching pain for about 30seconds on my left side abdomen (kind of like a sharp stitch), and today have felt very bloated and gassy all afternoon.
I also seem to have imagined a bit of a bile taste in the back of my throat (but no nausea), and slightly darker nipples (but no sensitivity really)....

WHYYY is the wait so hard!!!
