Anyone going into theirs?

I am either about to start mine, or just at the very beginning. Not got sticks to pee on just yet!

AF (hopefully won't be) due 8th-12th Feb.

@Smiffette that is reassuring I'm sure!

@Mrsrobinsonx have my fingers crossed for you. I believe it also really depends on when implantation happened for you, it could have happened later, like around 10/11dpo. Also have you come across the count down to pregnancy site? It shows pregnancy test results by dpo and a good proportion of people get just a faint line even when AF is due at 14dpo.

If you're not due until Sunday, there's still plenty of time to get a positive test! Sprinkling baby dust back at you!

@Pitstop1986 good luck and baby dust for the morning and I really hope that bitchy AF stays away.

Mine is due Sunday but going with my symptoms I think I've actually misread my ovulation sticks and ovulated earlier so missed it.. I feel like she's due tomorrow or day after.

Ain't it funny how you spend your teenage life / young life trying to avoid pregnancy like the plague because we are taught just how easy it is to fall pregnant... Then spend all this time TTC when we do want it.

Aww @OnNaturesCourse i know exactly how you feel! you're not out until AF shows. I'm due on tomorrow, but tested negative this morning, but rather than wait until AF is late, I'm going to test again in the morning (provided that she's not already made an appearance)

I had some loose stools last night and this morning and I've been having lower belly cramps this evening, and still rocking a sweet tooth, although my appetite has reduced over the last couple of days from what it was...

Common sense tells me this all points to the impending arrival of AF. The manic optimistic part of my brain is telling me it could be a baby implanting!

Making babies doesn't half send you to the brink of madness!

Fingers crossed for some positive tests for us in the morning!

@Smiffette thats wonderful! Must be great seeing that in writing. 🤰❤️

For me...another BFN tonight on 2 early tests 😔 I know I'm only 10dpo BUT I know my body and I just feel it's not happened this month if that makes sense.

Only thing I've achieved this month is sore eyes from squinting so much 😂👀

Of course I'll continue testing until AF shows up right enough, like to pee on money a lot these days!

Been really achy all day, a bit like constipation pains but real low in my pelvis. I'm beyond shattered too. Skin and hair have gone greasy too which usually happens when AF is gearing up but was also the first symptom of being pregnant with my first 😂🤰 so... Who knows.

I am swinging from being totally OK with whatever happens to obsessively squinting at blank tests under the bathroom light for half an hour...then going back for one last check lol.

@Mrsrobinsonx I think they look very similar to my one from today! It looks positive 🤞🏻

I gave and did a CB which came back pregnant 1-2 weeks.

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 13:01

Thank you both ❤️
think I’ll try relax and hope it doesn’t end and just be excited that I’m pregnant right now x

Pitstop1986 · 07/02/2023 12:44

I agree with JJ- looks clearer on today's test.

HCG takes 48-72 hours to double and you started off at such a low amount, so it's normal to have a slow progression for a few days. Take care of yourself, try not to worry and do another frer tomorrow or the day after so that you can compare your line on the same brand

JJ2023 · 07/02/2023 11:51

@Mrsrobinsonx The line today is definitely clearer! X

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 11:42

This is frer from yesterday and today.
what do you think? Too light still? X

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 11:14

I might try a frer today and then maybe order an early clearblue if AF doesn’t show tomorrow, but tbh last time I had a chemical it took a couple of days for the bleeding to start. Although they turned negative so quick x

Pitstop1986 · 07/02/2023 11:06

@Mrsrobinsonx I think your best bet would be to test again with a frer and check the line progression 48 hours apart from them. I'm hoping that it's just slow progression as you're so early on (13dpo is still very early) fingers crossed that AF stays away tomorrow and the lines start to show a little bit darker x

OnNaturesCourse · 07/02/2023 10:42

@Mrsrobinsonx can you get your hands on a CB early test or FRER? Definitely lines there but I see what you mean by the line being further away in one of them.

OP posts:

JJ2023 · 07/02/2023 10:38

@Mrsrobinsonx definitely lines. Is it worth one more FRER? Or FRER tomorrow? Sending all the baby dust x

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 10:35

@JJ2023 @OnNaturesCourse
AF is due tomorrow, 13dpo. still getting faint lines but don’t seem to be getting darker.
just cheap strip ones and some random ones off amazon, I used a frer yesterday and again had a line but haven’t re tested with those again yet.

this was 11dpo and 13dpo on the same test, I know it looks slightly darker but it’s really thin and far away from control line so I don’t think I trust it. (strip one basically negative today)

JJ2023 · 07/02/2023 10:34

@OnNaturesCourse thank you lovely, I will indeed try.

Keeping everything crossed for you. I know exactly what you mean about the grey, I had noticed that on cycle #2 and it had me confused!

OnNaturesCourse · 07/02/2023 10:30

@JJ2023 i had that with my second. Try to have a relaxed day. Easier said than done I know.

@MrsRobinson gutted to read you think it's another CP. How many DPO are you? What tests are you using?

I'm 10DPO and another BFN on FRER. Not even a hint this time. PS when did FRERs get so bad for the indents? I've used about 6 since last month and the grey indent is HORRIBLE on them all.

JJ2023 · 07/02/2023 10:28

@Mrsrobinsonx staying super hopeful for you ❤️ when would your AF be due x

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 10:19

I don’t seem to be making line progress so I’m preparing for another chemical pregnancy 🥺 however trying to remain hopeful.

Pitstop1986 · 07/02/2023 09:37

I had another negative this morning. AF due tomorrow so I may be out this month. Let's see if AF turns up!

@Smiffette that's a really good line! Not even a squinter!

Smiffette · 07/02/2023 09:37

Thanks all 😊

stay positive @JJ2023 I'm sure that's all it is, like you say it's common

JJ2023 · 07/02/2023 08:20

@Smiffette great line! Hope you’re ok!

I have had some brown in my discharge (tiny amount when wiping) however I’m just trying to be positive still as I know this can be common from implantation, so for now I’m telling myself that is what it is.

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/02/2023 07:32

@cocoforbes i used early strip cheapies & frer. X

cocoforbes · 07/02/2023 07:30

@Mrsrobinsonx what tests are you using?
