Argh! Was just about to test it and I remembered they put sodium azide in the collection pots! Will have to wait till morning.
I'm far too impatient for this haha

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:38

@Mrschips07 I've done some reading (thanks to Dr Google) and it's mixed. Some stuff says HcG starts to break down once it leaves your body, some days it's ok in the fridge.

@NoodleKT do ittt! Haha I'm certainly not the voice of reason so don't listen to me.

Will the being cold in the fridge impact the result do you think tho?

OP posts:
NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:34

@Mrschips07 really? They asked so many odd questions! I'm so tempted, I can honestly say this is the first time the fridge has been calling me because there's fmu in there haha

Oh weird, I applied for that study also @NoodleKT can't remember why I didn't get in.

I think if it were me I'd be tempted to do it with today's, but then I am ridiculously impatient.

Thanks for all of your responses to my testing, really appreciate it! I'm not getting excited, but will test with a frer maybe tonight maybe tomorrow morning.

Crossed* sorry!

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:24

Fingers crawled for you @Mrschips07 !!!
My FRER tests just arrived courtesy of Amazon! So tempted to do one now!
I'm currently in a ClearBlue study so have to collect my fmu everyday, it's been in the fridge (fully sealed don't worry Grin) since this morning so worried it may not provide a true test, which means waiting till tomorrow.
Suspense is killing me!

LT103 · 03/08/2020 11:08

@Mrschips07 I’m loving the four tests in a row. I thought only I did things like that 😁. I can def see a faint line on all of them. Fingers crossed for you. Would def get a frer so you can get a more accurate result. Or maybe wait and use an frer tomorrow. Hoping it’s good!

Shouldbedancingyeah · 03/08/2020 11:00

@Mrschips07 I’m so excited for your update! Got my fingers crossed that this is your time!

@Shouldbedancingyeah I'm waiting for a cheque to clear but should go in at 4 this afternoon, so I'll go and buy one then.

Sorry guys one more pic for you. I think I can see lines on all of these.

Oooo @Mrschips07 not to get your hopes up but it’s really unusual to get a false positive! I’d buy a frer to check

Sorry the focusing is so bad!

I took a third test, that looks like it has a faint line on... God I have no idea this is so inconclusive!

@LT103 sorry to hear that AF came. It's really good that your progesterone levels are all ok tho. Keep positive! New cycle is a new chance.

I took that photo after 5 mins and the test did look flooded I agree. I'll take another now it's 10 mins later...

OP posts:
LT103 · 03/08/2020 10:18

@Mrschips07 that’s odd. The positive one looks a little bit flooded though so maybe that’s why? Hope it’s a good sign tho

LT103 · 03/08/2020 10:16

Ok so cycle 4, cd 1 😢

Got my progesterone levels back which Co we’re fine tho so it’s just a case of keeping trying

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 10:14

@LT103 they were the same wee! I took the negative one first, then I thought I'd dip the other just to double check 🙈 I'm thinking this doesn't mean anything tho... As surely both would be positive if it was true.

OP posts:
LT103 · 03/08/2020 10:07

@Mrschips07 with the same wee? Or were they taken at different times?

I ordered these crappy freedom tests with my Tesco shop. I got one negative and one positive 😩

@Locket211 omg that's horrible! Bless you! I hope
You're doing okay I could imagine that's so painful! :(

@Mrschips07 good luck with your testing!! I so hope that it's your time 🤞🏼 🧡
I've had period like cramping for days but only had the end of my chemical pregnancy about 2 weeks ago! :/

@shouldbedancingyeah Good luck when you test! Let us know how you get on won't you?!

I've ordered some tests with my Tesco shop 😂 not sure how good they'll be as only cheapies but we'll see. Feeling a bit AF like today, quite bloated and crampy.

Shouldbedancingyeah · 03/08/2020 00:00

Blimey @Locket211 you poor thing that sounds awful!

@Mrschips07 I’m ordering tests tonight and will hopefully get them tomorrow or Tuesday which is when AF is due!

Mrschips07 · 02/08/2020 22:32

Omg thanks for sharing that @Locket211 I didn't even know that could happen! It does sound a bit like what I experienced except this came in waves - really similar to early labour contractions or the contractions after birth when the uterus is shrinking. Very strange!

Locket211 · 02/08/2020 22:07

@Mrschips07 little bit tmi, but myself and my partner aren't super into sex (it's great when we do but libidos are low) so it's just easier if i make myself 'happy' and he does his into a pot, i use a syringe (no needle, blunt one) and self inseminate. This was only my 3rd time doing this and abiut 5 minutes later I started cramping up all round my pelvis, it got progressively worse nearly blinding so called 111 and they ended up booking me an appointment at the walk in centre (taxi ride was awful) my hot water bottle did help a little and it weaned off whilst i was in the waiting room, got felt up by the doc there then bounced over to the hospital for a proper check, by that time it was more like normal cramps and uncomfortable feeling, got a check with a speculum as they thought i may have scratched the cervix but it all looked good so they said I probably got some air in my uterus which can be painful (i was terrified I'd give myself an air embolism but they said it would take a lot for that). So now when i self inseminate i check I've got out all the bubbles first! 😂🤦

LT103 · 02/08/2020 22:02

Sorry just caught up on everything. We had an impromptu date night for a lovely dinner and a few drinks. First night out since March!!! It was so nice to have some normality!!

Symptoms much the same here. Light spotting all day, nothing on liner only when wipe but that’s been 3 days now. I think af will come (hence the night out and wine haha) but time will tell. I’m not testing again unless the spotting stops.

@Mrschips07 your symptoms do sound good! 🤞🤞

@NoodleKT @overthinker76 hope those lines keep getting darker for you!!!!

@Locket211 Ooh what happened? If you don't mind me asking! Wonder if it could be that.. although we didn't do anything different. I also wondered if maybe we managed to dtd on the day of implantation and maybe that caused the reaction. I do seem to have a bit of a sensitive uterus Grin
