Is this the start of BFP?

Has anyone had similar on one step tests?

Both tests taken today with FMU. Shadows/vvvfl visible within timeframe, more obvious now dried but for sure could be indents as I know these tests can be dodgy.

Same tests in pack I got were all stark white until today. AF either one day late or due in 4 days (not sure when ovulated, been a weird cycle!)

Thanks

I can still see something. I got my + on Asda cheapies! I found them the best for me. Have you tried with a morning wee x

Here it is inverted too!

@PinkButtercups honestly ends up being very expensive! 🤣 if it's not my month I'll have to properly track ovulation or else I'll be spending the way too much (again) haha!

Sal I really hope that it’s a BFP but those tests are notorious for showing lines when you aren’t pregnant.

this was mine from a few weeks ago and it wasn’t positive. I was so upset. I honestly really hope that’s not the case here but wanted to warn you!

So pretty much the same as yesterday! Think my sample was slightly more diluted than yesterdays but it's hard to say. Nothing on easy@home strip test yet but they're 25mlu, wondering if I'm just a bit crazy??

The pic makes it look like an evap but it's defo an actual line with blue-tinge (not as obvious as yesterday's! No sign of AF at all either 🤷🏼‍♀️

I only ever used cheap ones 🤣. I wouldn't use digital yet they aren't that sensitive x

Thanks for all the support everyone means a lot! Just waiting on my CB result (non digital!) as FMU was super diluted 🤣

Will post it in a sec!

@PinkButtercups thanks! I am defo seeing lines on all the clear blue ones but they're bad for evaps/indents. I have a digital too but holding off on taking that until (if it happens) an unquestionable line!

@Salcal when are you doing another one?

Salcal · 27/06/2022 06:50

@Angie2018 eee thanks!!I not getting my hopes up incase it's not but maybe it's something?!

Will absolutely keep you all posted! OH can see the line too for once so that's something 🤣

Got some frer coming today and then I'll take another of the CB and see what it does!

@TheCuriouscakedecorator congratulations!! So pleased for you and your family ✨

OP posts:
Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 21:01

@Salcal I can definitely see a line now so I reckon you are more like 7dpo! Can you get an FRER?? So hopefully for you!!

I know right o hate being in tune with my body sometimes as it's hard not to feel every single twinge 🤣🤣🤣

I agree I don't mind having a shorter AF. I think most of mine comes out in the first two days.

That's super cute about your kitties 🥰

Please keep us posted on the tests as I am desperately waiting to see a very obvious BFP for you!! X

Update: shadows on IC strip tests but did another CB early detection and got a darker and definitely blue line (visible in RL) wondering if it's showing progression and the other tests aren't low enough sensitivity?! Driving myself crazy! Line appeared within 5mins (normal timeframe)

@Angie2018 it is! felt so sorry for my girls when they had their cone of shame on 🤣

Haha you tell him!! 🤣 they don't know how easy they've got it!

Ahh that makes sense, it's bittersweet being in-tune with your body isn't it. I move to spotting day 3 too until day 5! I don't know if you agree but I prefer shorter AF and can deal with the cramps if they only last a day.

Aww that's so nice! It's great that they get on well and can share their space. I introduced my two quite soon after getting my younger one and they are a bonded pair now! Love hanging out together 🥰

Perfect! All set up and ready then 🤞🏼 OH will have to be evicted and make a study in the shed instead 🤣

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 15:45

@Salcal it's awful seeing animals in pain or suffering it's just so sad! Haha true if AF comes next weekend I defo can use the hot tub! Fingers crossed AF isn't making an appearance for a very long time 🥰

Yep totally a universal issue... I mean he would love to revel in the fact he has it harder than any other bloke being with me because I am the biggest pain in the arse before AF but i regulating remind him I am not exclusive in my shittiness and he should suck it up like the rest of blokes in the world 🤣🤣

The cervix pains almost feel like it's getting ready to move and open for AF. It's weird. It's not overly bad, but I know what they mean. I never got them last month. It was a huge sign. Mine is the other way around, I get super heavy flow day 1 and cramps as it starts and sometimes for the whole day, really gassy and bloated and then day 2 is heavy but not as much and no cramps and then day 3 is spotting turning to nothing.

Manifesting too 🫶🏻🍀

At first my cats were like WTF are they 🤣🤣🤣 but now they realise the dogs won't do anything other than try to play occasionally they don't care. They quite happily sit in the same room or share the sofa or my lap which is nice.

Wow that is so exciting!! We moved into our family home 2 years ago now and we have two spare rooms waiting for babies 👶 OH uses one as a study and the other is a guest room and I can't wait to turn the guest room into a nursery and then kick OH out of the study a couple of years later 🤣🤣

@Angie2018 oh bless her - I hated seeing my cats uncomfortable following their spaying! Ooh lovely, nice lazy Sunday. I guess you can add that to the list of things you could do if not pregnant (with the hope that it won't be in use for the next 9mnths!!)

Glad to hear it's a universal issue 🤣 poor OH's! I totally feel you with being ratty and sore boobs, tolerance just gets lower as AF gets closer 😂 the cervix pains sound horrible! I tend to get backache/cramps on the day of AF, light flow and then no pain after but heavy flow day 2.

They had better not come!! Manifesting ✨

Aww what do the cats make of your pups? Shame you can't attach any pics! My two are menaces 24/7 😂

Yes looking forward to it! Then moving house in a couple of months, would love to know there will be a need to decorate the second bedroom! 🤞🏼

Angie2018 · 26/06/2022 11:37

@Salcal still not had a nap, been looking after my puppy who is recovering from surgery but will chill soon when she sleeps. We do have a garden and it's always nice and sunny, we have a hot tub too but I don't think it's recommended during pregnancy or early pregnancy so I can't use it unless it's when AF comes!

Haha sounds like we are the same! Yep my OH says exactly the same too 🤣 I normally do get very sore boobs after ovulation about 10-7 days before AF, then I get ratty and normally get a headache like a day or two before AF. I get pains in my cervix about 5 days before AF & I also get horrible cramps the day AF starts!

I hope they don't come for us both!!

My cats are 6 now and my puppies are 6.5 months! It's not bloody letting me add photos?

Oh lovely annual leave sounds good!!

@Angie2018 oh bless you a nap is definitely needed then. Do you have a garden you can chill in as well? I always feel better when I sit out in the sun for a bit!

Yep exactly!! Do you normally get long periods of PMS symptoms? My OH and I would say "it must be getting towards the 10 days of hell" leading up to my AF 🤣 praying for you that they don't come xx

Yep you know me haha! BFN, seeing slight shadows but I think I just have horrific line eyes now!

Oh wow how lovely! How old are your cats? Love a house full of pets 🥰 I've attached my crazy two below

Most likely just laundry and catching up on work bits ready for the new week, looking forward to some annual leave beginning of July!

@Salcal I know right!! Going to try to get a nap and watch a film today as I am so tired. Woke up early!!

I agree it's highly likely that we won't feel a thing until AF due anyway... I am crazy trying to find PMS symptoms, so far can't find....Hoping they don't come!!

Have you tested again today? Boob soreness could be a thing! Hopefully it is!!

Ah I love cats I have two! And two puppies 😍

What you up to today?

Salcal · 26/06/2022 09:55

@Angie2018 so close! I do find it crazy how much our bodies do "behind the scenes" also so crazy how some people have signs of implantation and others don't etc - when I had my BFP a few years ago I didn't have any "typical" signs and no signs of implantation either!

Could be unrelated but could be your body gearing up!! 🤞🏼

Boobs also feel a bit more noticeable but not sore, could be my mind playing tricks 🤣

Ooh lovely - you deserve a treat 🥰 bubble bath and a film/music usually are the perfect wind-down treatment also!

Good plan, is it just me or do the weeks feel so busy at the minute! I'm currently watching one of my cats do extreme zoomies around the house 🤣

@confusedbythis1 I'll probably be taking more tests, I've ordered some more easy@home cheapies and going to wait until I see something worth doing an frer for

I will be in 5 days on Friday!!
