CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

That positive @MA676 !!

can you buy another test and do a hold?

Organictangerine · 03/05/2022 15:56

Oh decaffe how annoying 😢

if you want to switch to another test I can recommend lloyds own (not the digital ones). They picked up my last pregnancy before FRER did at something like 8dpo. They’ll save you a few quid too.

Hi I just took a test my period isn't due for another 3 days ish

I got a cheapy little acutest one from Co-op

It came up with this line within the time frame (it has obviously got colour outside the time frame so I'm ignoring that)

Any advice would be great

I might be getting in my own head here but I've had some very weird thingy cramps the last few days, not like full on period pain but twinges and my back is KILLING!
The exhaustion is real too.

Am I just getting in my own head with ghost pregnancy symptoms, and they're just coincidental or could this be a sign? I'm 13dpo but had BFN or fake indent lines on tests the last few days

LemonZestDribbles · 03/05/2022 15:18

@allthingssparkly yay that is so exciting. Will you use it tomorrow?

@Bluelightbaby the negatives are very disheartening. Still could get early though. It must be hard when every month feels so important :( can you talk to him about it. My dh has a low sex drive (we can go a few months really) but he's really trying for a baby this time. It really does only take once. Especially if you can try and plan for ovulation day

@Decaffe this is so rubbish. The indent lines on frers atm are criminal. Nothing like they used to be

12DPO here. AF due in four days.

I did a CB ultra early yesterday - “Not Pregnant.”

FRER this morning - this is what my previous indents have looked like. I’m not sure if there’s any colour - it’s so hard to see.

I am spotting.

So this is yet another FRER indent / fake line!

Bluelightbaby · 03/05/2022 14:33

Yep we’re both shift workers here (hence my username) but we get a lot of time off together so no excuse really. It’s hugely frustrating as I’m 42 and feel like time is running out and every month counts

Cherrymarket · 03/05/2022 14:11

@Bluelightbaby that is frustrating 😞
we have similar issues due to shift working, but it only takes once!

Bluelightbaby · 03/05/2022 13:54

Tested this morning with one of the early tests, AF due on sat, but couldn’t wait. BFN :( not really surprising as I we rarely have sex (his low sex drive) Maybe only 4x a cycle :( I’m feeling so deflated as yet another month of negative tests.

allthingssparkly · 03/05/2022 13:34

AF hasn't shown up @LemonZestDribbles just been to Boots and bought a FRER x

LemonZestDribbles · 03/05/2022 12:53

@allthingssparkly has AF shown up? Maybe try a hold and do one this afternoon? I know some people get better results in the afternoon

@Decaffe can see the line ❤🤞🤞

@Catred4 the line looked really good on the cheapie. Hopefully just early!

I'm 1dpo. Feeling hopeful one minute and miserable the next as I don't think we would be lucky enough on cycle 1

Harriet669 · 03/05/2022 11:25

@Decaffe i can see it, ling hold later or try and wait for tomorrow! Hate indents they give so much hope!
CD8 here abs OPKs are looking better than last cycle, more colour to them and getting slightly darker, I didn't have a peak last cycle and darkness line was CD9, been taking B12 and Vit C this cycle as it's supposed to help lengthen cycles 🤞🏼

PeanuttyButter · 03/05/2022 09:08

Got my fingers crossed @Decaffe I hate the squinters on FRERS because you have no other choice but to test with another FRER and they are ££ so you have no choice but to wait.
I'm 10dpo and BFN with cheapies, although there was a faint something that appeared after the time - can't trust that!! Got one FRER that I will do on Thursday (if I can wait that long). Xx

allthingssparkly · 03/05/2022 09:04

Someone needs to help a girl out, BBT still elevated and no sign of AF (due today) 🤷🤷

Clear blue yesterday late morning was neg.

Cherrymarket · 03/05/2022 08:55

@Decaffe i am pretty sure that’s a line… 🍀

Organictangerine · 03/05/2022 08:54

I see it @Decaffe without major squinting which would make me think line-line!

can you do a looong hold and try again later today/this evening? 😀

Decaffe · 03/05/2022 08:31

It’s a shame there are no real competitors to FRER on the market!

I have also done an easy@home and that was BFN, although that was 10iu compared to the 6.5 FRER.

I will try again tomorrow morning but I have been down this road with FRER sooo many times Sad

allthingssparkly · 03/05/2022 08:22

I see it @Decaffe hard to tell from the photo whether it's an indent or actual line though 😬 x

Decaffe · 03/05/2022 08:06

Now I have posted it, it doesn’t look like there’s any colour on the photo, does it?

Decaffe · 03/05/2022 08:05

12DPO here. AF due in four days.

I did a CB ultra early yesterday - “Not Pregnant.”

FRER this morning - this is what my previous indents have looked like. I’m not sure if there’s any colour - it’s so hard to see.

Catred4 · 03/05/2022 07:10

I'm really confused, did a FRER this morning and think it's negative, although potentially there is the faintest of lines but I can barely see anything. Sucks after seeing a line on an internet cheapie yesterday but still only 9dpo so fingers crossed!

Your mornings test is a good + so if you didn’t ovulate today I’d say tomorrow , Youv covered it here’s hoping 🤞

Hopefulprincess · 02/05/2022 23:03

@Organictangerine Youv dtd just in time! You will likely of ovulated today and the egg survives a day so just in time hopefully 🙏🏻

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 02/05/2022 21:57

Cycle 1 trying for 2nd. First is nearly 7, didn't think I'd be doing this again 😂I want this time to be relaxed and calm, I was a mess with constant testing last time. We've agreed to just take it easy and not stress. Easier said than done. I think AF due maybe 11th May?

Organictangerine · 02/05/2022 21:45

Checking in! I’m not sure if this will be my month - only started OPKs today (CD12), got a positive this morning but it wasn’t as blazing as normal, followed by an only-just positive this afternoon. So I think the surge is on the way out. Does anyone know what this means in terms of ovulation? We dtd this evening but I have a feeling we’ve missed it. Onwards and upwards! This morning’s pic attached
