I couldn't resist anymore and tested this morning. My period is due on Boxing Day so I'm 13DPO. Well I got a faint line today on a FRER. Would you expect it to be fairly dark at this point? It's a definite line - just pretty light. I can't test again now til after Xmas as can't get to the shops today, which is probably a blessing.

@Seasidegirll thank you! I got these on amazon! Abit pricey but I’d rather pay out for a good one!

@Roxybabe amazing 😍 so happy for you!! What brand of folate did you use? I’ve been thinking of swapping!

Ella31 · 24/12/2022 09:11

9po and BFN. Period due Monday- should the tests be showing faint lines at this stage? So discouraged 😪

GemLou88 · 24/12/2022 08:19

Love a digital BFP. Makes it seem more real somehow. Congratulations @Roxybabe wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

@emhope you should be good! I was 11 DPO! I was so scared too! But so pleased I did as it means I’m going to stop testing as it’s not good for my anxiety!! Let us know if you do!!! So exciting! ❤️

@Babydust99 I'm with you in the tww. I'm 3 DPO.

emhope · 24/12/2022 05:41

@Roxybabe ah how lovely to see it on a digital. Congratulations! I brought a digital yesterday but was too scared to use even though I have had line progression on FRER’s. 12 DPO so think I will do it today 😬

emhope · 24/12/2022 05:38

@Hopefulfor4 I got my BFP 2 days ago and have had on/off mild cramping. It started a few days ago so looking back now I guess it was a symptom for me. Fingers crossed the same for you 😊

Babydust99 · 24/12/2022 00:21

For anyone looking for tww buddies, I'm 4 dpo and due af 5th January

WilllowStar · 24/12/2022 00:11

Congratulations @Roxybabe that is amazing news and a lovely Christmas present! 😄

So I know I said I wasn’t going to retest, I had one digital and my husband really wanted me to do one more, longest 3 minutes of my life…but I got a BFP 🥳

Just a little back story as I always wonder when I see ppl with BFPs and its nice to give ppl hope… I’m 33 (34 next month) TTC First baby, had non hormonal coil out in early June. So this is cycle 7 but 6 of properly trying with OPKs. I was starting to worry there was something not right as I felt like everyone around my was falling super easy. I have been taking prenatal multivits, coq10, vitamin B6 and the only thing I did differently this month was I switched to folate instead of folic acid and I took evening primrose oil up until my positive opk as I was worried I had no EWCM. We also DTD EOD instead of ED! No idea if any of these made a difference but thought I’d share anyway! Now i’m going to stop testing and cross my fingers and toes as it is now out of my control so I’m going to try and relax!

Congrats on all the BFP's so far.

Hoping I may be able to join this thread soon. AF was due to arrive Tuesday but still no sign. Also had various symptoms the last week and half.

Going to test tomorrow, but very new to this and wondering which test would be best. Was thinking of a clear blue digital as then there's no confusion and easiest to show the husband but I've read that they're not alway great at detecting hcg or would it be ok as I will potentially be 4 days late.

I think you would be okay with a digital at 4 days late. I'm a big fan of a pink test so usually buy first response tests.

Good luck x

Knov20 · 23/12/2022 18:19

Still bleeding after chemical pregnancy. Anyone else still on their period and going to try again in January?

AF arrived for me. Cramping hurts more than usual this month 😥

Ella31 · 23/12/2022 15:25

8dpo - period due Monday. BFN today. Hope I'm still in the running.

@Hopefulfor4 I had some mild cramping last night, if I hadn’t got BFP I would def assume AF!

DearieMeWhatsUp · 23/12/2022 13:24

Gah, BFN. Serves me right for feeling optimistic! AF due tomorrow so onto the next cycle!

doughyparton · 23/12/2022 13:09

@Hopefulfor4 definitely, had a bit of lower abdomen cramping around 9/10 dpo for sure. It’s stopped now bar the odd twinge

Hopefulfor4 · 23/12/2022 09:39

I was just wondering if any of the ladies with a BFP this cycle experienced cramping before hand thinking it was AF? Looking for a glimmer of hope or a reality check either is fine! Xx
