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.

@HarrietM87 so sorry for your losses Flowers hopefully this one's a sticky xx

kell2126 · 08/01/2020 19:15

@HarrietM87 I see it! Exciting!!

@mrsrichy oh I'll be testing every day no doubt. Have a good stock of tests in the cupboard so may as well! Have had some promising symptoms this cycle but we've been ttc for over a year now so not getting hopes up. Have you been having symptoms?

So reassuring to know I'm not the only one!

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah we're very close in dates. I'm going to buy some cheap ones off amazon and see if I can see any progression. Good luck!

@harrietM87 I think I can see a very faint shadow. Do you have any more tests you can take?

@summershine2204 ahh thank you that's reassuring! Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

@kell2126 you're a day ahead of me! When are you planning on testing? I've been hooked to mumset reading people's experiences for the last couple of weeks haha!

I feel like you can see a shadow at the bottom of where the line should be. I’ve had insane excess saliva all day as well so starting to feel a little hopeful, though I’ve had recurrent miscarriages so even a bfp sadly doesn’t necessarily mean good news for me. I’m on treatment now which enabled me to have my son, but I had a mmc in September when I started the meds slightly late (unplanned pregnancy)

Here you go - the light is quite bad - was in the work toilets!

I'm in the same boat! BFN today at 9dpo and AF due Tuesday. It's going to be a looong 6 days. @HarrietM87 have you got a pic? I love a good squinter!

summershine2204 · 08/01/2020 18:24

I got a BFP at 11DPO with an internet cheapie so I did my FREE after that to confirm so you might not have to wait as long as you think!

I was doing Opk and bbt so I was 99.9% sure when I ovulated

Fingers crossed

Hello, I ovulated on 30th and took a test today at 9dpo. I feel like I can see a really faint line but could also be imagining it! It’s so hard to resist the urge to test isn’t it. Things will become clear over the next few days at least!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 08/01/2020 18:20

I think I ovulated on 1st January! I thought I'd ovulated earlier in month due to my app telling me so however I had bad OV Pains on 1st so fingers crossed! I did a test this morning too! BFN x
