I honestly can’t be trusted with tests in the house! I did another this afternoon and I’m sure it’s slightly more visible, these are the last 3 I’ve done with newest at the top. (I broke them out the housing because the light was reflecting off the plastic, yep I have actually gone insane 😭😂)

I know it’s most likely an indent so I have no idea why I’m putting myself through this 😂

Also don’t know why I’m bothering with he photos when camera really isn’t picking up much!

Sending all the baby dust! ✨

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 12:16

@Pollie89 me and you both! Even when I know it’s been barely any time since my last or I’ve not held urine long enough! 😂

Fingers crossed yours darkens!!

HannahLouD · 20/01/2023 12:02

Ah fingers crossed for you guys!

I had quite a strong indent line going back to look at my test from this morning... Which, if it came up straight away I'd have thought was a positive. I guess that's why not to look at tests after a few hours!

Pollie89 · 20/01/2023 11:56

@kalixxx my thoughts are that if it is positive then it should be brighter tomorrow/ Sunday. Il see if I can wait but I highly doubt it! I'm obsessed with peeing on a stick 🤣🙈

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 11:17

@Pollie89 mine came up pretty much straight away, but I’m also a proper line imaginer 😅

that’s good yours was light pink though! Mines too faint to even make a colour out in person so I think I’m answering my own question, most likely an indent ☹️

when will you test again?

Pollie89 · 20/01/2023 11:11

@kalixxx
I can see a slight line in the second picture. But I'm a proper line imaginer. I had to check with my other half to see if he could see it. He can see it but I'm still in two minds.

Did yours come up within the time frame?

Mine was light pink at the time but now im thinking it might be an evap but i just don't know what/how to think. My mind is all over the place 🙈

I hate the TWW!!

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 11:07

@Pollie89 ok when uploading it makes the quality even worse and you can’t see a line on mine. Just goes to show how faint mine is in person. Accepted mine is most likely an indent 😅

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 11:05

@Pollie89 hey! I’m in the exact same boat as you as I done a FRER this morning and have a similar faint line! I’ll attach pictures although I’m not even sure you can see it in pictures, only if you squint in person 😅 I’m not getting my hopes up too much as I’m well aware could be an indent!

I’m not sure when I ovulated do I could be 7-10 DPO

Only thing I can suggest is retesting in a couple of days, the wait is agonising though isn’t it!

Tww friends!

Pollie89 · 20/01/2023 10:46

Hey TWW'ers

I'm about 10 dpo and had did a test this morning. It came up within the 3 mins but I'm just not sure.
What do you think?

Tww friends!
kalixxx · 20/01/2023 09:12

That’s still very early so you’re definitely not out yet! I’m completely the same though, googled countless different DPO tests 😂

It is most definitely becoming a bit obsessive, need to stop myself from staring at my tests! I think the only thing I’ll test positive for is going insane 😅

Let us know how you get on next week! 🥰

HannahLouD · 20/01/2023 08:45

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 08:29

@HannahLouD when is AF due for you again? I don’t why we do it testing early, I do the tests thinking this is a silly idea, but continue to do it 😅😂 keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Last Friday I had some stabbing pain which I thought could be me ovulating late, my cycles range from 29-34 days so that would be normal for me. So I’m hoping maybe I’m only 7DPO so it’s still so early, maybe I need to stop with the wishful thinking though 😂 I’m going to try and wait till Monday now!

Not due till Tuesday... Which I now realise sounds really far away 😅🙈 I guess I just got it into my head that if it was going to be positive a frer would usually show at least a squinter at 10dpo (by my insane amount of googling of 10dpo pictures) 😭😂😂
It becomes a bit of an obsession doesn't it? And an expensive one too! 😶🙄
I'm defo gonna wait till Wednesday now... When I'd be officially late (although I'm sure af will turn up by then anyway!)
Good luck over the weekend and I really hope you get your bfp!! 🤞

@HannahLouD dont lose hope completely this month! I’ve read lots of stories on here of women not getting their BFP till after the missed period!!

I just done another FRER and it’s got an absolute squinter of a line, so faint I’m pretty sure it’s an evap line ☹️ will 100% wait out testing until next week now (I hope😂)

Yeah, I know... I know it's possible and has happened to people, but it's literally as white as snow, I just can't imagine a line ever showing up 😅 (although there's a slight evap an hour later 🙄) if af doesn't come on time, I'll test again then... But just gonna tell myself that I'm out this month to avoid further disappointment when inevitably does arrive. And try to not test early next month... I say that now 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

A mean, a squinter is more than I got so got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞 Try and hold out for a couple more days if you can!? Says me... Hahaha x

HannahLouD · 20/01/2023 06:47

Well... It's not my month ladies.
I know some of you may say it's still early and I know I'm only 10/11dpo but my frer just now was as white as a sheet (minus the control like, of course). I feel like if it was ever going to show anything it would at least have a tiny bit of a squinter. Gutted to be honest. But onwards and upwards I guess!

Thanks for the chats and support all and sending baby dust to you! ✨

Saphyre · 20/01/2023 01:00

Hey ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. Currently 11dpo, and month #8 of TTC. Don't know how I've managed to stay away from the tests - I'm usually at it from 8dpo!! From around 3dpo, I've been having very vivid scary dreams daily! My thighs have been really achey and I have this v dull sore back ache which won't budge. Only 1 sore boob though. Hoping this is the month😊

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 23:42

@Ella31 Heey! Of course 😊 so sorry to hear about your mc last year 😩

if it were me, I would wait until 10/11 at the very least! As implantation is normally between 6 and 12… and it takes a while for HCG to build so it would have to be super strong to show at such an early stage!

if you can hold off until 13, that’s the timeframe you get the best result outside of 14dpo x good luck!

Ella31 · 19/01/2023 21:39

Hi ladies, can I join. Quick bit about me. I'm 8dpo tomorrow, had a mc in August, started trying again 3 cycles ago. Hoping this one will work. Should I test tomorrow?

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 20:16

@HannahLouD sounds very complex! Glad you’re being checked out though and I’ve heard a few of those symptoms be because of pregnancy so you never know!!

I know why you mean about having your mindset on testing 🤣 once you’ve decided… I’m gonna probably do it a few days early (as in 13dpo) just to manage expectations - if I ever get a BFP again, I’ll always air on the side of caution and won’t be able to wait to be fairly confident until I have a scan but at this stage I’m fully expecting a long road ahead - it’s been long already so bracing myself 🥰

Jholli · 19/01/2023 20:04

HannahLouD · 19/01/2023 10:50

OP - any update? Have you tested?

Hey all loved reading these! I’m 6 days away from AF I’ve done a cheap sainsburys freedom test and it’s negative. Very tired by 6pm so who knows! I am now going to the route of every day we are doing ‘insem’ when we are too tired to DTD that way I’m maximizing chances. We got the tube and syringes off Amazon! Other half’s idea!

HannahLouD · 19/01/2023 19:50

I'm only 9/maybe 10dpo so tomorrow would be the most of 11dpo 🙈
My literal only slight way I'm justifying testing early is that tmi but I've been having problems with my nipples... Extremely sensitive and sore, the bumps around them are extremely prominent and almost white and also I've had some milky type discharge leak from them when having a hot shower (if I squeeze them they leak too. 😶😅) So I saw the Dr about it and before they take bloods tomorrow (to check my hormone levels incase I have increased prolactin) they have asked me to do a test to rule that out. But when I went to see them (Monday) it was too early, obviously.

But yes, I'm also fully aware that testing early could give a false negative or false hope if it ends in a chemical... I'm absolutely just being impatient and will regret it in the morning when it's inevitably a bfn...
Next month, if/when it comes to it, I'll try to hold out for longer... I've just got it in my head now that tomorrow is the day so I have to do it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙈😂😂

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 18:56

@HannahLouD 😊 thank you! You too, where you at currently in your cycle??

I think it is definitely easier said than done but if you experience a chemical, it’s sort of once bitten, twice shy 😆🫠 makes it that bit easier to hold out! It looks as though my HCG levels rise very near to AF so I know 13dpo is the time to test if I am feeling keen bean 🤣

I can’t wait until all this bloody testing and working out dates and research is over mind you… genuinely how people seem to do it on a wim is mind blowing to me! 😂

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 15:11

Hello ladies! I’m due AF on Monday (currently 11dpo) and had a bit of brown in my EWCM this afternoon - not as much as when I had spotting with my chemical BFP in November but I definitely felt a bit sick this morning.

From the tonnes of research I’ve done, in case it helps… implantation normally happens 6 to 12 days past ovulation and then it takes some time for the HCG levels to rise. Id definitely avoid early testing if you can (I didn’t have a BFP until 13dpo and then it was a BFN 15dpo). Save yourself the worry, uncertainty and money if you can 🥰❤️ wishing you all BFPs this month!

Eeek fingers crossed for you and very impressive will power you have! 😬😅

Yeah, I've read that about implantation... I don't understand then how frer tests say they are 96% accurate from 5 days before your missed period?!

I know holding out until I do/don't miss my period is the most sensible thing to do all round... But it's just so easy to take a frer when it's sitting there in your drawer waiting 😅😂

Good luck this month to you! 🤞
