AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 27th.
When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

@Leah2501
When is your AF due?

@zippityzip
I see what you mean! I normally wouldn't test so early or given my test a second glance but I have so many symptoms. Really hoping!
I'll pick up FRER today but won't use it till a day before AF due.

So the middle test is an OPK (I wanted to compare where the lines would be).

Had I not have been TTC I would have looked at those and just assumed they were negative but did the filters and the squinting. And these were taken the day after my period was due.

I'm quietly hopeful for you.

@Sesamechick My ICs and poundshop tests didn't go very dark until I was around 6 weeks! But the FRER was clear from the day of my missed period.
I'll see if I can get a pic...

Leah2501 · 22/01/2021 08:34

Those tests look like they’re very very very faint - squinty lines. I had some tests that looked like this 2 days ago. Like you I just binned and assumed were negative.

I know you are right, very difficult for me not to test even though I know it's very unlikely I would get a + now. Frustrating x

This website tells you the % of pregnant women who test positive for each DPO. Testing early is just the road to frustration and heartbreak. Whenever I've tested positive it's been very obvious, no doubt and squinting.

@zippityzip
Thanks for your reply; I've already thrown them out bc i convinced myself i was seeing things.
I'll definitely test again tomorrow.....eh, who am I kidding. Will prob test later today Grin I buy the cheap ones from Poundland. My AF due Wed 27th. Just hate saying I'm having such and such symptoms because I feel like a con. Might just be AF symptoms but I'm hoping not.
How long before your AF did you get a positive? X

Not in the first pic but in the second and third there is what looks like the beginning of a line.
I know it's hard to get on camera but does it have any colour to it? Are the tests dry?

I know how you feel - when I was TTC I was exactly the same peeing on sticks twice a day and squinting at them all. Don't want to give false hope but that's how mine looked on ICs before my period was due and then it wasn't long after before I got a glaring positive on a FRER.

Morning all.
I'm probably being pathetic and embarrassing myself by posting this but does anyone see anything or am I squinting so hard I have made my eyesight worse Confused
Personally, I dont see anything except desperation.

Bleeding now so must have been a false one. Was definitely something there though 😩 good luck OP x

Pebbleinthesand · 21/01/2021 14:04

I'm 13dpo today and think I got a faint line, maybe...
I tested on Monday (11dpo) and there was no sign of anything. Hoping testing tomorrow, when AF is actually due will give me a clearer line 🙏🤞

MrsC89 · 21/01/2021 13:47

@Leah2501 amazing, congrats!

Leah2501 · 21/01/2021 13:37

Second baby, and didn’t use FMU it was second urine of the day

Leah2501 · 21/01/2021 13:36

Leah2501 · 21/01/2021 13:12

My last AF was 27/12 ovulated 10/01 I have been really gassy, tugging feelings low down - not cramps, I also bled at 10dpo, assumed AF was early. It then stopped and discharge has continued. I’m 12dpo today and got my BFP, had BFN previous days. I’m a serial POASer 😂

Ahhh thats exciting
What is wondfo?
Good luck tomorrow!!! Let us know xx

JenIsAGem · 21/01/2021 10:42

Hi ladies, I got a positive OPK on the 13th so predicted ovulation on the 14th, had really bad cramps that day so pretty sure I ovulated!

That makes me 7dpo today and I'm tempted but know it'll be BFN at this stage...
I got an obvious BFP at 9dpo with my first baby, squinty-faint in the morning but clear in the evening. I did test at 8dpo too but it was negative - even though I did have that feeling that 'I just knew'.

I may test with some wondfo cheapies tomorrow at 8dpo Blush

Praying4aRainbow · 21/01/2021 10:40

@Sesamechick yeah sounds the same!! It's like right at the bottom of my back almost at the bum crack if that makes sense 😂 so so painful! Fingers crossed its a sign for you 🤞 xxx

MrsC89 · 21/01/2021 10:29

My FRER just arrived... so tempting!

AnyTimeSoon · 21/01/2021 10:12

MrsC89 Also due on 26th. On 6,7 dpo had the most horrible cramping and then it completely stopped. Other than that no other symptoms. Today I feel bloated and not sure if that's just AF coming?
