Morning all

Feels like a long week
I tested yesterday BFN

Feel like I wont test again untill Friday so 12 dpo with FRER

Anyone else got a chart?
I love looking at charts perhaps more than collecting pregnancy tests lol

12dpo I think it’s too light for this stage

Sorry @Amandahb87 I've had the same with them in the past. They can be so unreliable.

Amandahb87 · 02/03/2021 08:33

10dpo. I took a early response this morning and negative I think I have a dodgy batch of cheap one step tests 😭 I dipped one in water and came up with a simular positive result as I posted the other day. Gutted

IWouldBeSuperb · 01/03/2021 21:46

@Bonny11 Yes, that's today - thank you :)

I wasn't sure if it was too faint - I've only tested way after AF due before - but certainly better than the IC line!

Glad you have your FRER- I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow (when I'll inevitably be testing again too)!

Today's sticks... Early evening urine. I think the top one is a bit darker than yesterday. Fingers crossed.

Congrats to everyone else with lines today 😍 sending everyone lots of baby dust xx

@Jackitty Yeah you’ve still got plenty time left, It gets so tedious doesn’t it! So easy to get addicted to testing though. Wishing you luck for when you next test!

Jackitty · 01/03/2021 18:33

9dpo today and BFN on cheapie and FRER period due in 5 days so I'm not holding out hope now. So weird as I've had cramps, nausea, sleeping funny and all sorts of weird symptoms.

Going to try and leave it til the end of the week now and just see if AF arrives. Need to get out of this testing early malarkey as it just gets upsetting doesn't it

Bonny11 · 01/03/2021 17:25

I also had pink discharge today when I wiped, only once though. Had a headache on and off all day, left ovary achy a little. Never get like this before AF so who knows! Only time will tell

Bonny11 · 01/03/2021 17:18

@IWouldBeSuperb That’s a good line, is that from today? Congrats if so ❤️ Yeah I was thinking that, I’v got some first response tests coming so il do one tomorrow morning at 12 DPO and see what that says x

noname55 · 01/03/2021 16:35

I find them a bit hit and miss. I've had faint lines on them in the past but confirmed negative with a frer.
Thanks @Jackitty mine is back up again, I need to stop watching it can't think of anything else.

IWouldBeSuperb · 01/03/2021 16:33

@Bonny11

Completely agree - I'm 11dpo today - got a glaring white BFN with an Amazon cheapie - but a visible line on a FRER - both the same FMU!

I can't believe the ICs are supposed to be so sensitive?!

Bonny11 · 01/03/2021 14:18

Thank goodness it’s not just my eyes then Does anyone think these cheap strip tests are unreliable compared to first response etc? X

Jackitty · 01/03/2021 13:54

@noname55 I wouldn't go off cramping at this point, with my last pregnancy (4 years ago) I had cramping for two weeks then found out I was pregnant, must have really implanted herself in there
Yes my heart rate still seems to be rising, 71 today up from my usual 62-63!

noname55 · 01/03/2021 13:04

@Kimxo I only see part of a line so not sure.
@Bonny11 I see it!
@Jackitty is your heart rate still rising? Mine has come right back down today. Cramping as well so I feel like my period could be on the way but I'm only 6dpo and CD23.

Kayleaaa · 01/03/2021 12:00

I see a faint line on both! Keep us updated!

Kimxo · 01/03/2021 11:58

Can I have opinions on these please? :)

Tested at midnight last night.

Not sure how many DPO as I have irregular cycles due to Pcos xx

Bonny11 · 01/03/2021 10:53

Is it just me or can I see a very very faint line? (It might just be my eyes playing tricks) I’m 11 DPO today, I’v just been using cheapies but going to use first response later and so on x

Ginmonkey84 · 28/02/2021 21:09

10dpo maybe 9 depending on what day I ovulated

IWouldBeSuperb · 28/02/2021 19:23

@Jackitty This website gives you percentages for testing on different days -

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/

Not that it stopped me testing from 8dpo

Sallyjo27 · 28/02/2021 19:18

@LilyCat43 there’s hundreds of different ones on there but there’s a test for hcg levels and a test for progesterone as well. I really hope this is a sticky baby for you. I think it’s awful to be told that! It doesn’t matter how many weeks you were it’s still a loss xxx

noname55 · 28/02/2021 19:11

@Jackitty I'm only 5dpo but my resting heart rate has gone up the last few days! I know it could go up and come down when AF starts but I can't help keeping an eye on it.

[quote Sallyjo27]@LilyCat43 I’m so sorry for GP sounds like a test to put it bluntly!!
There is a blood test you can buy to check on Medichecks. It’s a finger prick test. I think I’ll be doing it this time. After 4 previous miscarriages I’m so nervous. Have you ever had your progesterone tested? Also if you ring your local early pregnancy unit they should scan you at 6 weeks as you’ve had 3 previous losses xxx[/quote]
I'm nervous too. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. I haven't heard about these tests what are they for? I can think of the words the doctor used to say it but basically the jist I got was that my losses were too early to count 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I didn't think they'd be taken into account for anything. I'll phone them and ask tho if we get that far! Xx

Jackitty · 28/02/2021 18:46

8dpo today. Took a FRER like the maniac I am. BFN.

However I've felt sick ALL DAY and my resting heart rate is increasing daily - see pic!! I'm so hopeful.

We weren't trying for a baby so soon we were hoping to wait 6 months or so but I have to say I've really got my hopes up.
