Three together one is done with water to compare and 2 with fmu. The frer also fmu. And individual IC is done this afternoon. What’s your thoughts? Be honest! I know it’s super early and silly! Don’t know why I did it!

I can see lines! Did you do another test this morning? I also feel silly for doing my test so early. It’s just longer for me to worry tbh!

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 22:03

@BackOnTheBandWagon sorry you're out - think ill be joining you tomorrow, will be 12dpo & af due, got my usual back ache cramps tonight so not going to bother with the FRER in the morning

@Ellswells3 9dpo is still early so don't give up yet!

Ellswells3 · 18/05/2022 21:52

I’m out too! Been at the doctors with kidney stones and they did a pregnancy test as part of the assessment which was a BFN. I think it was even worse having it read out from the test and not being able to search for the line myself! I am only 9dpo so might do a test on Saturday anyway which is 12dpo and my original date I planned to test… just in case. Hey ho… Congrats to all those who have their BFP, wishing you all the best xx

BackOnTheBandWagon · 18/05/2022 21:33

Ah drat, AF arrived loud and clear, and early no less! Not even time to do some pre-emotive testing despite symptom spotting. Off to the June board for me, good luck all :)

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 19:09

@Tropicana1 i reslly hope they’re actually something and not indents! Will keep you posted!

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 18:58

@thinkingoutloud2 haven't tried the Poundland ones before, sorry!

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 18:56

@Peonies94 I can definitely definitely see lines!!! So excited for you! Keep us updated with progress pics tomorrow

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 18:46

@Cherrymarket I’m 8DPo so I know that feeling! Think I saw a line too! Do you have a pic?

Cherrymarket · 18/05/2022 18:24

congratulations to those with positives! @WednesdayStar4 @ttc#2 (sorry if I miss anyone, this site has changed recently and is a nightmare to read!!

I tested early today at 9dpo 🙄 no willpower!
got a faint positive so hoping it is stronger tomorrow ❤️

Ok I've taken the plunge and bought 3 early tests from Poundland. I wonder if they are any good?! Has anyone used them before?

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 18:02

Wow, congrats and fingers crossed for the early positives. ❤

Thanks @WednesdayStar4 - trying to think of the positives like one more month saving up for statutory maternity pay, although like you say not completely out until af arrives. Temp is still up and not had any period pains really today or yesterday afternoon which is unusual, but literally not even a hint of a line on the cheapie so

Sorry about your ectopic - fingers crossed this one isn't as well, hopefully you'll see some nice line progression over the next few days and all will work out 🥰

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 07:40

@WednesdayStar4 I see the line! Congratulations!

BFN on a cheapie this morning at 11 DPO. AF is due tomorrow so I'll probably use an FRER in the morning to confirm I'm definitely out if it hasn't arrived but 99% sure it's not this month

Thank you lovely. My last pregnancy was an ectopic and there is a risk this one might be too (especially because I’ve had some one sided twinges already!). Im not going to know for a while if its a viable pregnancy so I’m not going to get excited yet. But still, I suppose that if I do have a pregnancy that works out it’s got to start somewhere.

Sorry to hear about the bfn. It’s absolutely the case that you aren’t out until AF arrives. But even if this isn’t your month - you’re still getting closer every day to the month that is yours 💙

I couldn’t hold out and tested at 9dpo 😬 So much for waiting until AF is due! But now I feel silly because I have to just test again anyway. I had a very faint line come up on a FRER, it appeared within the time frame but there’s not much colour to it (maybe a hint of colour in real life, hard to tell) so I’m not entirely convinced!

Shouldn’t have tested so early but it’s just so hard to resist!

@ttc#2 that looks like a line to me! 🤞 see these tempt me to test early! I’ll definitely be caving by 9DPO! Only 7 at the moment so I’m just waiting a few more days!

Me too! I wanted so badly to wait until AF but I am 8 dpo today and have FRERs in the cupboard and I could just test tomorrow morning 😬

WednesdayStar4 · 17/05/2022 17:19

ttc#2 · 17/05/2022 16:17

I'm 9dpo so still very early and had a few chemicals before so trying not to get my hopes up 😬🤞

I understand being wary - I’ve got everything crossed for you! Let us know how you get on

I couldn't hold out 😂
I apparently love to waste my money on pregnancy tests😂
What does everyone think though? I feel like I can see a hint of a line 🤞

That’s a line! How many DPO are you? X

BackOnTheBandWagon · 17/05/2022 09:41

Can I join? First cycle properly ttc #2 after stopping breastfeeding - I haven't had a period yet but based on CM I think I know where I am in my cycle, and expecting AF around the 21st.

Think I ovulated around the 7th, but didn't have any OPKs - it's all a guessing game this month! I'm holding out on testing until the weekend. Probably.

Good luck everyone, including those out for this month and heading to June x

Welcome! I’m first cycle TTC #2 as well, although my first is nearly 9 so it’s been a long while for me!
