@Charl881 AF has arrived! Finally!

Have your FRERs arrived? X

Charl881 · 26/01/2022 08:45

@chasingtherainbow1 not long to wait now! I will be thinking of you 💗

@line123eyesalways ugh waiting to start a new cycle is so frustrating isn’t it!

I’ve got some FRERs arriving today. I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant, I don’t really have any symptoms and any I do have I would definitely put down to us currently isolating. I’m 10dpo and AF is due Friday so my plan is FRER today and tomorrow and then wait to see if AF arrived Friday. Probably a waste of money but I’ve realised it’s easier for me to do two FRERs a cycle than obsess over a load of cheapies!

line123eyesalways · 26/01/2022 07:36

@Charl881 @chasingtherainbow1 it would be positive by now if I was pregnant. I think I'm just going to have to wait for AF to come but my cycles are all over the place for some reason!

How is everyone else doing? Xx

chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 22:14

@Charl881 sorry, the scan is Friday so will see what happens!

chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 22:13

@line123eyesalways I can't see anything either. What DPO are you?

@Mamastarz @Charl881 what CD are you guys on?

Yeah I haven't really been testing since BFP it's only because I completely lost all symptoms for 2 days and that's what happened with my miscarriages, I wanted to see what was going on. Urgh the anxiety of the tww just continues into pregnancy. Think the EPU will scan me every 2 weeks (presuming things are ok) wish I could just be put to sleep until I'm in a safer week 😂

Charl881 · 25/01/2022 21:55

@line123eyesalways sorry I can’t see anything either!

@chasingtherainbow1 I know it’s difficult but I really would try to stop testing after a certain point I really don’t think the lines can tell you anything and will instead just make you more anxious. Just take each day as it comes and think about the fact you are pregnant today rather than worrying about tomorrow. I know that’s so difficult with your history though! Remind me when your scan is, I have a feeling it’s this week?

@Mamastarz @chasingtherainbow1 another negative for me on an hours hold!!

@chasingtherainbow1 that does sound good! Although I don't know much about the hook effect x

7DPO thread 2
chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 16:19

Just to clarify - I got a dye stealer on the diluted test and a fainter one on the pure urine test. Been frantically googling other examples but 23dpo seems very early for hook effect

chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 16:17

@Mamastarz I feel ok. I had period like cramps last week and very sore boobs. Then from Saturday all symptoms disappeared which worries me.

I also had a scare with tests and still don't know what's going on. Basically I got a dye stealer on a frer at 13dpo which I thought was very early. Then due to lack of symptoms I did another frer on Sunday and Monday and they seemed fainter. I was convinced I was miscarrying yesterday. But my EASY@Home which haven't given me a due stealer carried on getting darker as usual. I then read about the variant hook effect which is different to the hook effect and happens on tests which are designed for early testing. So I did a frer this morning with fmu and one with diluted fmu (50% water and 50% urine). Unbelievably I got a dye stealer again. My period like cramps have come back which I'm hoping is a sign of my uterus getting bigger. My boobs also hurt a bit today as well. Keeping everything crossed that I am experiencing the hook effect but I'm not confident!

Sorry for the essay 🙈

@line123eyesalways, keep us updated, and fingers crossed for you.

@chasingtherainbow1, how are you feeling, hope all goes well friday, have you any sickness etc...I've all crossed for you. X 🤞

chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 15:34

My scan is on Friday. I will be 6w1d from lmp but I ovulate lay so I think I'll only be 5w5d.

@line123eyesalways fingers crossed for you when you test again.

In terms of tests, I have been using the Easy@Home tests from Amazon which I always thought were 20 but turns out they pick up hcg of 10 so nearly as good as frer! I got my BFP at 9DPO. They're only £10 for 20 so would recommend these tests if you're POAS addict like me!

line123eyesalways · 25/01/2022 14:58

@Mamastarz I will test when I get in from work! I'm not feeling very optimistic as I've never had a BFP before and I keep feeling a few crampy feelings!! Xx

@line123eyesalways, yes I would test again just to see, especially if your feeling very nauseous, and AF hasnt arrived, keeping all crossed, it has just been a let implantation for you. X

line123eyesalways · 25/01/2022 13:46

@chasingtherainbow1 I have everything crossed for you!!

@Mamastarz I haven't tested again! I did get cheap tests that pick up 25 minimum. I may test again tonight. There is a possibility! My cycles just seem to be getting longer and longer!! Sad x

Mamastarz · 25/01/2022 13:42

@line123eyesalways, have you tested again, is there a chance you may have O later than you think with your cycles being longer and therefore implantation being later than what you had anticipated. X

@chasingtherainbow1, when is your scan, i wish you all the best, x

chasingtherainbow1 · 25/01/2022 13:15

Thanks guys, I'm not feeling too confident it will work out but will let you know how the scan goes!

line123eyesalways · 25/01/2022 10:44

@Mamastarz no covid vaccine for a few months! Still no sign of AF but very nauseous still!! This is my 7th cycle!

A relaxed approach is good! I can't even imagine the pain you've been through!! Xx

@line123eyesalways, im sorry to see you have a negative test this month, have you by any chance had a covid vaccine or booster recently, as ive heard many women say it has messed with their AF.
How long have you been ttc. X

@Charl881, you still have a few days yet, very early at 8dpo, and you know what they say, it only takes one time 😊.
How long have you been ttc baby no.2. X

Im ok this month, just getting on with things, havnt realy been trying. ( which im truly fine with now)
I don't know if i honestly want to go through anymore heartache, ive had 7 miscarriages in total through the years, but you know what im happy with were i am and what I've got. 😊. X

line123eyesalways · 24/01/2022 13:27

@Charl881 it's so disheartening. My last cycle was 36 days and this one so far is 33 so it's inevitably coming as surely a test would be positive now!

Fingers crossed for you x

Charl881 · 24/01/2022 13:19

That’s a shame @line123eyesalways, it’s turning into a long old slog for us isn’t it.

No real signs here. I’ve definitely been more irritable but then we are all isolating together so that’s understandable. I definitely don’t feel like this month is the one but only 8dpo so could be too early. I have a few cheapies I’ll probably use up while isolating, AF due Friday.

line123eyesalways · 23/01/2022 15:38

@Mamastarz hey!

I've just tested and it looks negative so just waiting for AF to arrive now!

How are you feeling this cycle? X

@Charl881, @line123eyesalways, @chasingtherainbow1, hey 👋,

So how have things been for you @Charl881, see your in your 2ww, how are you feeling symptom wise, fingers crossed for you.

@line123eyesalways, i also see you are 1 day late for AF, so have you bought any tests yet, if so when are you planning on testing, good luck and have all crossed for you. Keep us updated 🤞.

@chasingtherainbow1, and a very big congratulations to you, im so happy for you, how are you feeling and how are things going for you, 😊.

For me things are unchanged, don't even know where i am in my cycle, barr the fact its cd16, have no idea about O and if its even happened yet, i have just really chilled out with everything, and still trying to decide where my head is at with it all.

Good luck this month girls, please keep us updated x

line123eyesalways · 23/01/2022 09:33

@Charl881 it is! I know I'll go and buy the tests and AF would have arrived by the time I leave the shops haha.

Oh no! Hope he's okay! At least it'll stop you testing early!! X
