Currently 1DPO (I think). Got a positive OPK on Thursday so assuming I ovulated either yesterday or maybe today. Have had sore boobs, bloating and cramping today. Anyone else at the same stage who wants to wait with me?

@GemLooper

I'm 10dpo. No symptoms whatsoever (tmi but prettty non existent cm). Just took a FRER with FMU and I think I see a line - vvfl but not sure if I trust it. Never seen an evap before so can't tell. With my first pregnancy I was so much more relaxed (weirdly) and didn't test at all until it was a very definite line so this squinting is new to me. Attached a pic - took me loads of tries to get a pic that "possibly" showed the line. any thoughts? Line appeared after about two mins I think - I took some cheapies in between that were all definitely negative. Only have one FRER left so going to keep that one for tomorrow morning. Help please - vvfl/nothing/evap?

Oooh I see a line!

BritInNZ · 27/06/2021 06:51

@GemLooper I see a line! Maybe try tomorrow or the day after and then report back? Exciting!!

Rachy11 · 27/06/2021 06:50

Good luck if anyone’s testing this weekend. I’m really trying to hold off but so so tempted!

@sunnyside257 they are the First Response Early Result ones (so yes, 6 days early) I've never tried the normal FR ones

sunnyside257 · 26/06/2021 20:37

Oh they are a lot more sensitive!! @T2710 Were these the 6 days early or just the normal frers?

@T2710 thank you that's really helpful!

Poppydoppy18 · 26/06/2021 19:40

Thanks @T2710 and fun to see your TTC diary on Instagram ☺️

T2710 · 26/06/2021 19:18

You can see here how much darker the line was on FRER. DPOs are in the captions

T2710 · 26/06/2021 19:16

I my experience FRER are def more sensitive. I'll try to find a pic of last time. I just used one step cheapies but have heard good things about easy@home too

Poppydoppy18 · 26/06/2021 18:02

@T2710 haven’t tested yet because I’ve only got a CB digital in my house right now and I think they’re too expensive to use all the time 😶. Do you recommend any IC brand?

sunnyside257 · 26/06/2021 18:01

@rathernotshare - I think they're about the same? Aren't they both 10mIU? Not too sure but I've seen people get positives on both early on

rathernotshare · 26/06/2021 17:08

I think I'm at the point in TTC where I can see a line if I just try hard enough 😂 I just did another (broke the seal now!) and swear I can see a verrrry faint line but can't get it on photo so totally possible I'm imagining it.

Are FRER more sensitive than cheapies or are they the same? For FMU tomorrow

T2710 · 26/06/2021 11:31

I've told myself I can test with frer at 10dpo as I had An obvious line at 10dpo last time. However, I might end up using an IC at 9dpo if I get spotting in next few days (I know it will 99% be neg at that stage)

MissLB · 26/06/2021 11:26

@sunnyside257 haha I tested this morning even though I'm only 6DPO. Knew it would be negative regardless.

sunnyside257 · 26/06/2021 11:24

@rathernotshare - I'm so tempted to test. Might test with FMU tomorrow 🙈 Will see. I know it will probably be negative even if I was PG.

@T2710 - everything is a symptom!! 😂 we could probably google "is itchy elbow a sign of pregnancy" and there would be something that says it is 😂

T2710 · 26/06/2021 11:16

@sunnyside257 also had bleeding gums this morning! Does happen to me occasionally but v rarely so not sure.

rathernotshare · 26/06/2021 11:14

@sunnyside257 I tested today 8 or 9DPO, obviously negative but I'm not bothered because I knew it was unlikely so early 😂

sunnyside257 · 26/06/2021 11:09

When is everyone going to test? I got my cheap tests through the post but im holding off. It's still too early. I think im 7 or 8 DPO so few it would be silly to test yet

I've had bleeding gums this morning when brushing my teeth which doesn't usually happen and a lot of creamy white CM today. Really trying not to symptom spot!!

T2710 · 26/06/2021 10:40

@Poppydoppy18 have you tested yet? I got my bfp on a frer at 10dpo last time

Poppydoppy18 · 26/06/2021 09:58

I’m 10dpo, so nervous about whether AF will show up next week! How’s everyone doing?

sunnyside257 · 26/06/2021 09:04

@T2710 - Hey The symptom spotting is the worst. If that's what you had before though it could be a good sign! After a positive OPK I've read it can take 24-36 hours for ovulation to occur (although I've also read it can happen as little as 12 hours after) So either the day after the positive or the day after that.

OP posts:

T2710 · 26/06/2021 08:39

Can I join you all? Currently 5dpo I think (do you count the day after a positive or test as ovulation day) and driving myself CRAZY with symptom spotting. I had potentially implantation cramping from 5dpo with my last pregnancy and spotting on day 6 and 7 so feel like I'm looking for symptoms even more!

@JAL2 - that's what I've had too. Trying not to overthink it though 🙈
