Anyone testing this weekend?

Hey ladies,

I’m thinking of testing this weekend - nervous for the result as obviously a BFP is very much wanted. It’s our first cycle of actually deliberately trying for a baby....we already have a beautiful 4 year old daughter but due to medical reasons I was advised not to have another baby until they were resolved. Sadly I had a miscarriage back in July with a sort of unplanned pregnancy.
My partner has left the country to go back to work for a few months so I will be all alone testing and seeing the result - need some virtual friends for support :)

Curious if anyone else is testing soon? If so which test kit is the most reliable? AF is due on the 10th and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to hold off until then. I think I’m around 7 dpo at the moment!

@Firsttry132 haha aww thanks, maybe I just didn't see it because of being in denial or not wanting to get my hopes up. I do see where you mean. Can you even see something in the other pics?

Thjs was from this afternoon so not FMU. I will test again in the morning I think.

Don't know how people go through this every month, I'm going to go loopy 😂 xx

Ohh @pixiedust21 I see a faint line in the first photo you uploaded! What test brand did you use?
The only thing stopping me from testing is that I on purposely forgot to buy a test when I was at the supermarket as I knew I’d cave 🤣

@unknownttc I also see a faint line but you’re right, get a FRER!

Firsttry132 · 04/02/2021 15:18

@pixiedust21 yeah absolutely and I can see it has colour!! Was that with FMU? You could try again tomorrow morning if not! But I can definitely see something and normally I’m rubbish at seeing lines on pictures 😂 xx

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 15:13

@Firsttry132 ah do you think? This whole thing is going to send me crazy

See I took another one in a slightly different angle and can't see anything at all there. Maybe test again in a couple of days (or tomorrow haha) x

Firsttry132 · 04/02/2021 15:08

@pixiedust21 I 100% see a line there!! Looking promising for you 🥰😍

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 14:39

There's something that looks like it could be a faint line but think it's just the light. Oh well. If AF doesn't come over the weekend I might test again next week

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 14:38

Ended up caving and taking a test today BFN but no AF yet and am on CD33. Sometimes cycles go up to 34/35 days so still time for AF.

unknownttc · 04/02/2021 10:40

[quote heybabes]@unknownttc Oooh that's definitely a line![/quote]
Gonna get a frer x

heybabes · 04/02/2021 10:34

@unknownttc Oooh that's definitely a line!

heybabes · 04/02/2021 10:33

Me potentially!

I'm super confused about when I ovulated so at the moment I could be either 12DPO or 7DPO. I'm hoping it's 7DPO because I had a BFN this morning so hoping it's just because I'm early.

My chart this month has a small sustained temp rise 12 days ago, but then another one (but not completely sustained) 7 days ago. My OPKs have been almost positive for days now so who knows. I'm just hoping it's not an anovulatory cycle, so I'd rather just get AF than that happen!

So stressful - only my 2nd cycle as well and I am just hating this!

unknownttc · 04/02/2021 08:51

Hello ladies hope you don't mind me joining...but of a long one so here we go
I was taking seven seas and was due a period on the 10th dec it didn't come I then realised the tablets was messing my cycles so stopped taking them. Finally had a period on the 5th jan and due on again today...didn't test for ovulation so don't know if I did ovulate when I was supposed to but this is my test from this morning, I took one yesterday and there was something there but barely there and today done this with FMU and it's just there again, maybe a bit more then yesterday.

I only know I'm due on today because of period tracker apps

@Lovegirl1232 you can find it here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4145231-TTC-after-MC-Jan-Feb-2021-Thread-17?pg=22 xx

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 03:50

@Randomness12 I feel like I have some symptoms but equally I'm not sure I've had some nauseous feelings and my nipples are feeling sore. I don't feel how I usually do the week of AF. My boobs feel different. I'm awake now and feel sickly. But... it could all be random. Definitely testing tomorrow because I feel I could be, so want to know if I'm just crazy.

Are you getting any?

Randomness12 · 04/02/2021 03:38

I’m not sure if I’ll test this weekend, I have irregular cycles and like @pixiedust21 anything up to 34 is normal for me which would be Wednesday.

Does anyone have any early symptoms? With my DD I just knew and my boobs were very sore/tender.

I feel like they are a little heavier and I can see a few veins (tmi) but that could just be because AF is due sometime between now and Wednesday!

Lovegirl1232 · 04/02/2021 03:16

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you I'm new to this not sure how to join that group .. I got a neg on the cheap test on the 12 January had my dc Dec 31. And got my first postive of my ovulation on 25th. Then a positive pregnancy on first respond on 31january my lines are not getting darker they are the same very light and on the cheap one is neg. Even today feb 3 same thing.. I'm starting to think it might be not good news whatever is happening .. I'm gonna say I'm not pregnant I guess I'll test again Monday .. Thank you for all the information you gave me I appreciate it

pixiedust21 · 03/02/2021 23:05

I can just tell I'm going to break and test tomorrow haha. Won't be officially late til Friday. Eek. I hate the waiting already. Don't know how I'll do this month after month but thankful I found this forum!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 03/02/2021 23:04

@Lovegirl1232 you might want to join the TTC aftter MC thread I'm on. From what I read you got a negative after MC on a One Step (when was that?) and now have a positive on a FRER but arent sure if it's new pregnancy or old HCG?

So firstly, you can stil ovulate with HCG in your system but it has to be low. So the hormones would be v much on their way out.

Have you taken a One step now? If the lines continue to darken on a FRER every 2 days and darken on One Steps, I'd be pretty happy it's a new pregnancy

@PurpleandOrange I got a really strong BFP at 9 DPO last time around so it's definitely possible. But then I also have terrible POAS willpower so I will only encourage others to be as bad as me

PurpleandOrange · 03/02/2021 20:21

I will be 8 dpo at the weekend, should not test but fully expect I will end up wasting a test on the off chance I was an early implanter - weak poas willpower here 4/5 dpo at the moment and no symptoms in the slightest!!

pixiedust21 · 03/02/2021 19:45

@MNGal1987 haha yes - me too with the symptoms. Everything could be pregnancy or AF! Probably just making them up in my mind at this point. To be honest I'd rather just get AF now if I'm going to get it rather than these creeping feelings lol.

MNGal1987 · 03/02/2021 19:42

Everyone is welcome!
I’m so impatient - I have what feels like obvious signs of pregnancy but they are just the same symptoms prior to AF 🤷‍♀️
I expect the worst but hope for the best to try and avoid disappointment (yet at the same time look a baby name lists 😅)

pixiedust21 · 03/02/2021 19:01

The wait is awful! I'm on day 32, cycles average around 34 days so could still get AF this week. Will test Sat if not. Keep expecting to get it though and not get my hopes up especially as this is just month 1. Ahhh Sending solidarity to everyone waiting!

hels301990 · 03/02/2021 18:55

Can I join? I'm due on Sunday so if she hasn't gate crashed into my weekend I'll be testing then...absolutely everything crossed!

Firsttry132 · 03/02/2021 18:19

@MNGal1987 I’ll be testing Sunday! AF is due that day and my cycles are like clockwork so I’ll know in the morning if I should test! X

organised5 · 02/02/2021 23:05

Maybe me!! AF due on the 13th. The FRERs say they can pick it up 6 days before so that would be this Sunday. I think I might see if I get any symptoms this week as when I had DS1 I could definitely feel something a little different and I got a BFP 6 days before AF due.
