8 DPO - why did I test?! :(

MumofOne93 · 27/02/2021 11:53

Hi ladies,

So I'm 8dpo today and couldn't wait any longer I POAS this morning and lo and behold it was a BFN! I used a ClearBlue early detect from the triple pack.

I'm honestly going crazy symptom spotting even though I KNOW I shouldn't and I KNOW that all the symptoms I have a common PMS symptoms!

I am chronically irritated
My boobs are SO SORE and feel huge, they've been sore constantly since ovulation and haven't let up (though I don't know if that's normal for me haha)
I've analysed every little twinge & every little cramp
And I am EXHAUSTED (but there are many reasons that could be)

Please someone jump on my crazy train!

@AliceS88 Thank you... I'd like to say it feels good. I'm still so anxious, I've booked a 6 week viability scan end of this month so hopefully all stays well 🤞

Ah you never know!! Mine was negative too it's the FRER ones that came up positive and only on the cheapies yesterday keep trying baby dust to you x

@MumofOne93

Oh fabulous news!! Must feel so good!

11dpo (or there abouts!) today, BFN on an IC this morning but tbh I think its too early for one of those anyway lol - not feeling too hopeful as don't "feel" pregnant this time, like I did with my son. BUT AF isn't here yet, so will see if she arrives over the next few days!

@MumofOne93 how are you getting on?

@Squeak717 yep I did a CB 6 day early and had a super super faint line too.

Seem to be getting pms symptoms/cramping which is worrying but let’s see how it plays out.

Congrats on your BFP xxx

@MumofOne93 I feel for you!! I’m in exactly the same position as you, FRER positive yesterday which looks very very similar to your line, but this morning CB 6 days early test was so so faint. Reassuring to hear that FRER are twice as sensitive... that could explain the fainter line.

Fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks unknown, sometimes you just need someone else's opinion to validate for you, I've not told DH as keep thinking it's going to disappear or something haha xx

@MumofOne93

Maybe though I have gone back to them and this mornings is actually slightly darker but I’d imagine darkened outside the window? Who knows!

Also got AF cramps and twinges today- I think it’s so hard to be excited/get your hopes up when it’s been a while and you know things can go wrong 🙈

I feel like they are quite clear positives x

@MumofOne93 it's still a line though!!

It's still quite early so maybe there's just not enough hormone at the moment xx

@AliceS88 Thank you 🙊 will test and update you guys in the morning. Fingers crossed for an even stronger line!

@Jackitty -- eeeek thanks for the validation!

@MumofOne93 I've never heard of a false positive to be honest (unless of course its a chemical but even then its not technically false!)

I was always told a line is a line so I think CONGRATS are in order!!!!

@mummabubs ahh thank you! Oh I'm not sure?! I read the Amazon reviews many saying they were super sensitive and accurate but also a few saying they got false positives! I hope it's genuine!

OP posts:
Jackitty · 28/02/2021 19:34

Second line, 100%!!! How exciting!

Original poster
MumofOne93 · 28/02/2021 19:33

@AliceS88 I have another 3 haha!

I'm too scared to be excited incase it's a false positive it showed up pretty quick within about a minute! But what if it's not false and it's real?! Ahhhh gosh I hope it's legit!

OP posts:
mummabubs · 28/02/2021 19:33

I thought FRERs were twice as sensitive as clear blue and therefore more likely to be accurate?

But in any event I see that second line!! 😁

AliceS88 · 28/02/2021 19:31

@MumofOne93

I can absolutely see a line! I don't know much about FRERs throwing out false positives so can't comment on that!

Have you got another one to do in the morning with FMU?? eeek!

@Jackitty @AliceS88

Guys I need your help, I’ve just done a First Response and either I have line eye or there is a very faint line, also concerned as I know frer have a tendency to throw false positives 🙈 thoughts?

@MumofOne93 I have a 4 year old :)

I've got a couple of frer too, but won't use those until Wednesday at the earliest (I hope!)

MumofOne93 · 27/02/2021 22:06

@AliceS88 God I hope so!

Fingers crossed you won’t need them and AF stays away! 😊

Yes I’m very lucky to have a 7 year old DS.. what about you?

@Jackitty - The wait sucks!!! I’ve bought some FRER tests.. I’m the same though I just want to know one way or the other so I can stop driving myself crazy haha

OP posts:
AliceS88 · 27/02/2021 22:00

@Jackitty the wait is AWFUL!

AliceS88 · 27/02/2021 22:00

@MumofOne93 well it sounds like you covered the bases!

I might look into cb opks if AF arrives this month!

The symptom spotting is the worst! My last cycle was strangely really short and I've been having cramps this evening, I'm hoping and praying it doesn't mean that I'm going to have another short cycle again :( dunno why they've changed but will keep tracking. I'm hoping it was just one weird one!

I'm guessing from your username that you already have a child? How old are they? Xx
