I use FRER from Dr Fertility, they seemed pretty accurate. This is my first ovulation after a MMC. Fingers crossed for us all x

LittleDoveLove · 25/06/2022 19:23

I'm due to test 4th or 5th July also 😊 x

@Hopingforarainbow27 they are the most sensitive on the market but I guess there will always be someone who has had a bad experience. I've got lots of them & the clear blue ones and two clear blue digital ones too. Hope to test next week so bad! Praying no AF symptoms arrive next week!!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 25/06/2022 16:15

I've just read online the frer tests from Amazon aren't to be trusted 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Hopingforarainbow27 it's soooo hard not to convince ourselves we are / aren't feeling things!! I hate the waiting but for me nothing will happen until atleast Monday which will be 6dpo!!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 25/06/2022 14:22

@Angie2018 i know it's so early it's ridiculous 🙆🏼‍♀️ today only one boob is slightly tender when I squeeze 😂 and keep getting pricking and twinges. Could be all in my head! Roll on next week for us!

@Hopingforarainbow27 to be honest you are so early that test would be normal for 7dpo.... or even 8dpo so I wouldn't class yourself as out yet!!

I don't really know when it comes to feelings in tummy, I have had strangers twinges before like somethings moving under my skin, and sharp needle pains occasionally but nothing major.

It could all be something or not... it is just so hard, I think when we are TTC we look out for anything and everything! In reality a lot of the things we now feel probably would have been there before we just weren't sensitive to it.

I try to tell myself every month it could be something or nothing so I don't convince myself I am not or convince myself I am.... either way I still get disheartened 🙈🙈🙈

Hopingforarainbow27 · 25/06/2022 08:28

I also keep getting "prick" feelings in my tummy... anyone ever had this? Usually I have twinges or pulling but never a prick type sensation

Hopingforarainbow27 · 25/06/2022 08:18

@Angie2018 🙆🏼‍♀️ I wonder is it an evap line. It came up at 4 minutes and your supposed to look at frers after 3 lol my boobs don't feel sore now...aaaahhh! "I'm not pregnant, I'm not pregnant., I'm not pregnant" lol need to keep saying it so won't be disappointed

Angie2018 · 25/06/2022 08:15

@Hopingforarainbow27 I can see the line so you aren't going crazy!! I hope by Monday it's a lot darker for you 🥰

Yes absolutely we must keep this positivity going! I hope everyone gets a BFP next week!! I can't test until next Friday so 6 days to go x

Hopingforarainbow27 · 24/06/2022 22:59

Here's my photo from today 😂 there's a line in real life even though it barely there, there is something but I'm going to tell myself it's an evap!

1DPO TWW.... want to hang out?
Hopingforarainbow27 · 24/06/2022 22:56

So I'm away at my MIL for the weekend as my husband is away for work so that's a good distraction and I didn't bring tests with me! So I'll prob test Monday again!! Wish I didn't test today cos now I'm holding onto hope and if it's negative Monday I know I'm going to be gutted!!! I'll be 10dpo then so still early I guess! Let's keep this chat going so we can all be crazy together lol!

@Cofefefe ah it's just so hard isn't it! Somethings mean something and others don't. Up until 6-8dpo nothing changes from normal anyway so it's so hard!!

@ChipAndDip haha I am driving myself mad as per!!

Yes defo do an OPK & DTD anyway to cover bases!! It's possible to have more than one LH surge in a cycle!! X

OP posts:
Cofefefe · 24/06/2022 18:41

I'm 8dpo today. No strange symptoms though. Very sore boobs but I get that every month after ovulation until period. Haven't started the annoying spotting yet but that normally starts 8-10 dpo so still time! I feel a bit crampy today but to be honest I get that pretty much every month as well. 🙄

ChipAndDip · 24/06/2022 18:32

@Hopingforarainbow27 so sorry for your losses. I’m on my first TWW since a miscarriage earlier this year as well, it feels really strange being back here doesn’t it? I’m trying to just take it easy and go with the flow but it feels like so much more pressure!

@Angie2018 hope you’re managing ok with your symptom spotting! I actually had ovulation symptoms today so now worried maybe I didn’t actually ovulate when I thought I did (did get a peak but I don’t bbt so not confirmed). Will do an OPK when I get home from work and DTD just in case, it is Friday after all! 🤣

@Hopingforarainbow27 so I basically had headaches for two days, serious bloating and strange bowel movements like they didn't know what they wanted to do, very mild cramping, one day of a few wipes of light red blood, then two days of watery brown a couple of wipes. It matches with many implantation symptoms online. I also went off my food, didn't fancy a thing! Totally not like me! Then two days later I started say dreaming of lychees like I wanted to eat them so bad 🤣🤣

I did use OPKs and I have tracked my BBT this month and did SMEP so I hope it works!!

I am sure it is enough, it only takes 1!! X

Hopingforarainbow27 · 24/06/2022 14:24

@Mycatslife thank you! I have no self control this time!! Coming on here helps though!

@Angie2018 how did you know that you implanted 10dpo? Just wondering! Also did u use opk this month? We only dtd on the smiley day so hopefully it was enough. I've actually got palpitations now 🤦🏽‍♀️ need to go for a walk!

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 14:17

@Hopingforarainbow27 oh my god you sound like me!!

It's all I can't think about, I just sit on here, Google stuff, symptom spot.... it's really hard.

Ok good to know yours were only a bit after ovulation when you got pregnant. I think mine are a 1/10 as well, hoping it doesn't increase until after implantation timescales lol.

I am 3dpo now so got until atleast Monday before I start to feel anything if anything. I didn't implant last cycle until 10dpo so hoping if I have conceived that it's earlier than last time.

So sorry to hear of your losses @Hopingforarainbow27 and I really hope this is your month.

I’m in the two week wait - period due a week on Sunday (3rd) so in theory I can test Tuesday but I’m going to TRY to show some self control!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 24/06/2022 14:01

@Angie2018 so true!! Yes I did but last time they weren't that sore. Just a bit if I squeezed them. I've been squeezing mine today and they aren't that sore tbh, like 1/10 lol!!! Last time they were maybe 6/10 at 7dpo!

Oh dear help us!!! What are we like!! What dpo are you!? My husband is away with work so it's all I can think about and im off today and I can't even concentrate to watch a series or anything!
