Wasted my FRER at 9dpo

I promised myself I wouldn't! But I woke up this morning feel awful, so off I went and POAS and at 9dpo it was a BFN. AF is due in 7 days.
Why do I do this to myself!!
I'm annoyed now and just really disappointed. But the last few days I have felt so tired, off food and sick so I sort of had convinced myself I was. I've set myself up for a bad day. Sorry for the rant!

@HenB good luck!!! Let us know how you get on! Sending baby dust your way 🙏🏼

DoodleLovin · 22/02/2021 20:32

@tulips87 I was thinking of starting at 75 and then upping it to 150 once pregnant. Not too sure. I was on folic and progesterone last pregnancy and miscarried at 12 weeks so really wanting to give aspiring a go this time around. Also heard you should start taking it after ovulation before BFP.

AF stayed away this weekend
Cycle day 31, 11dpo
Going to test tomorrow at 12dpo
feeling very nauseated so hopefully that’s a good sign. Never been pregnant before though so can’t tell.

incywincyspiders · 22/02/2021 15:23

Oh maybe that was my issue then! i will start taking it from now...

@incywincyspiders I read somewhere to start taking it from CD1.

Wait are you supposed to use baby aspirin all month? I thought it was just after ovulation 😂😂😂

heybabes · 22/02/2021 09:15

AF came for me today :( Feeling bittersweet as I knew it was coming so it's good I can start all over again but at the same time I kind of hoped I was one of those people who didn't get a BFP until after AF was due!

@DoodleLovin I think I'm going to go with 150mg as I've seen this on another thread on here. What about you?

@doodlelovin
Same has happened to me,
The two tests I used yesterday and the day before are tesco own and I got 2 vv faint lines, my husband can see them too
I've used a different brand this morning so I feel that might be something to do with it
My daughter is all her dad but she is all over me the past few days, I wonder if toddlers/children can sense it?
Good luck! Xx

DoodleLovin · 22/02/2021 06:50

@tulips87 what dose are you getting? I was thinking of going to the pharmacy for some as well today

DoodleLovin · 22/02/2021 06:49

Tested yesterday and got a vvvvvvf line. Tested this morning again and BFN. So confused (and not going to lie a little upset).

imalmostthere · 21/02/2021 23:47

I haven't rtft but I hope this gives any pp with bfn early on some hope! With my DD I didn't test positive until 6 days past AF being due! And that was with every test going. Don't lose all hope lovelies Thanks

@incywincyspiders it really is a stressful journey! I have never had a problem getting pregnant, it's staying pregnant that I've had the problem with but this time it just feels like it's not going to happen so quickly or maybe I'm thinking about it too much!
I'm going to start taking aspirin from tomorrow as I've read up a lot about it for those with recurring miscarriages.
I want to relax but I'm also with you on the TRY EVERYTHING and anything to make it happen this cycle 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Emerald4512 · 21/02/2021 23:03

@heybabes Yes me too! I have 2 people in my team who have announced they're both pregnant and both caught in the 2nd month of trying. They both know I'm trying too and it makes me feel a bit embarrassed that I'm not pregnant yet, which is bloody ridiculous I know!

I looked up the percentage of reliability for testing 6 days early and it's only 23%! So that means on one in five will actually be given a positive if they were all pregnant. Xxx

incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 23:00

I don't blame you for trying to relax, it's so stressful isn't it?? I've been doing SMEP, it's tiring but I do feel it maximises the chance of conception!

Im going the opposite way of relaxing cos I'm obsessing and next cycle we will be taking a break for a month because I would be due Christmas Eve 😂 So i am throwing everything at this cycle I'm going to invest in B vitamins, already taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins and also vitamin c. Also keeping my feet warm with fluffy socks every day as apparently cold feet mean a cold uterus?!?! (only just heard this). I'd been trying baby aspirin but I think it's just making my periods heavier so I might stop that this month lol.

@incywincyspiders haha I know the excitement. My thermometer arrived today too. I just know I'm going to do it all wrong but it's worth a try! This is cycle 3 for me, I want to try and relax this cycle but at the same time I don't want to feel like I'm not doing enough so going to try SMEP and see if we can keep it up.
Will you be trying anything different this time?

lelrx · 21/02/2021 22:06

Hey hope you don't mind me jumping on this post
I am on CD 16
DTD on valentines 😏 my flo app says ovulation day was 17th but I feel it was a day or 2 earlier
I spotted for 2 days after sex (assumed it was because me and hubby hadn't DTD for 2 months)
Yesterday I felt really nauseous
Today I have had backache and stomach cramps, fatigue and spotting this morning when I wiped and nothing since so possible IB
I know its far too early but I did a test and there is a really really faint line, my husband can spot it too but can't pick it up on camera!
Will keep you all posted!
Baby dust to you all xx

incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 22:06

Hahaha I'm the same, I will probably forget knowing me 😂 My AF came yesterday and my thermometer came today. I'm excited. This is cycle 4 of trying for me!!

tulips87 · 21/02/2021 21:50

@incywincyspiders I tested my thermometer this evening and put it into my chart to 'practice' for the real thing! Haha No idea how I'm going to do all of that while I'm half asleep just waking up, I'll be so stressy I bet!! Hahaha
Good luck! I'm going to start tomorrow morning. AF is due Tuesday and very much on the way.

@missrose0110 i think I'm just overshadowed by previous losses so not expecting this to work out. So hope it does though. Have been stupidly tired the last 2 days but that might be due to the toddler deciding to have 2 hour wake ups in the middle of the night...

incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 21:47

@tulips87 I'm going to do BBT for the first time this cycle too!

heybabes · 21/02/2021 21:42

@Emerald4512 I’m on cycle 2 as well and had a BFN on 12 DPO (yesterday). I know how you feel. So rubbish. I feel awful because I know people struggle for much longer, but at the same time I never thought I’d be trying again on a third cycle?! Hope you’re ok and that it was just an early and potentially false negative x

missrose0110 · 21/02/2021 16:02

@heybabes thank you!

@treesall I'm in shock! Still hasn't hit me yet and I don't think it will for a while. How are you? Xxx

Emerald4512 · 21/02/2021 15:46

Hi all! I'm also trying to conceive and on cycle 2. I'm due on Thursday but got a BFN this morning using a FRER. I don't know why I do it to myself as just been really upset today. Wishing luck to everyone else ❤ xxx
