Hi guys 😊

@RegardingPersephone I'm sorry... That really sucks :( but as everyone says, you're not out until af shows! 🤞 I've attached a pic of my boots early detection test from 12dpo from last month. But everyone's different and everyone's line strength is different at different times depending on when you implanted... So I guess it means nothing really, but thought I'd share just in case you were interested 😅 I do really rate those tests... Those and frers seemed to be most reliable for me personally. Got my fingers crossed your line will come! 🤞

@Mummy1502 sorry you're having such a tough time with things :( it all sounds really stressful. I've got my fingers crossed that your pains etc are a good sign! 🤞If you can't get any frers, like I said, I do personally trust the boots early detection ones too! They're pink dye as well which is always a bonus! Let us know how you get one 🤞

As for me, I'm ok! I think I'm 1dpo today 😅😂 so let the tww (10 day wait 😅🤦🏻‍♀️) begin! 😩🤞x

Update from me, I need to get hold of some FRER, had the worst pains in my lower right side last night, have felt all my niggles in my right since ovulation, half expected to see af this morning, if my cycles have gone back to normal I should be due af tomorrow but could be thrown off a bit from cp last month, however these pains I had yesterday felt the exact same as last month when I had to take myself to bed thinking I was ill and threw up but now I think it could be the pains that make me feel like that, woke up this morning and pain is gone? I have no idea what my body is doing but I wish it would just grow a little sticky bean, how is everyone doing? X

Couldn't find a frer so got a boots early detection and held my wee for four hours (torture!). No lines... Assuming it's a no for me this month and the first line was a fluke or shadow. We will see.

Thanks ladies, tbf I havnt user a FRER as can’t get my hands on any so it was a clearblue early which is still 10mlu, would expect to maybe see something even a faint line at 11dpo? This is why I hate the false positives, gives you that little bit of hope then gone, do you think you only get the lines once implanted as my doctor seems to think hcg starts to produce once the egg is fertilised, if that is the case then I feel like mine are fertilised but just can’t implant? I think I need to pay for a private scan just to check my uterus etc as I had retained products after we lost the 7 week little bean which eventually did come away on it’s own x

@Mummy1502 ugh I'm sorry that's so annoying... Don't give up yet? But I know how you feel, you'd expect a bit of a line on a frer I guess...

@RegardingPersephone my ics were still faint at 12dpo (pink though and the line was there) my frers at that point were obvious. (This was last month - ended in chemical). If you can, maybe try a more expensive test?

@cavebaby exciting! Fingers crossed for you and I hope the tww goes quickly!!

I think I'm due to o today... Peak was yesterday and had my usual temp drop this morning... Hopefully I'll see a temp rise tomorrow or Monday to confirm 🤞dtd 5, 4 and 3 days before, skipped a day, dtd last night and will again today so I too am hopeful that's covered it 😂😂 ngl even I could do with a night off now 🙈

cavebaby · 18/03/2023 10:29

@RegardingPersephone FRER are the First Response Early Result and are among the most sensitive and can pick up the pregnancy hormones at less than 10mIU. Other tests can be much less sensitive and only detect a positive at around 25mIU. So it's worth checking yours to see how sensitive they are. It will be shown as mIU or mIU/mL.

RegardingPersephone · 18/03/2023 10:16

@Mummy1502 I'm sorry to hear it 😔

@cavebaby just internet cheapies as I'm trying not to spend thousands one tests. Clearblue must make a fortune! Is frer the first response ones? Are they the best?

Fingers crossed for you!

cavebaby · 18/03/2023 10:10

Sorry to hear it @Mummy1502

@RegardingPersephone What test are you using? You'd generally expect more than a very faint line at 12dpo on a FRER but other tests are not so sensitive.

1dpo here today, very sore boobs which doesn't normally happen so with that and the really dark ovulation test I'm hoping that it was a good, strong ovulation, if such a thing exists haha. We managed to DTD on O-3, O-1 and ovulation day itself so hoping that has us covered!

@Mummy1502 I think I've seen you on the other threads... I know you've not had an easy time. You're not out until the red lady sings but I fully understand how you feel. Just take it a day at a time x

Hi! Did another test this morning and swear I could see a very very very faint line but didn't seem as obvious as yesterday's. Not sure if it is still too early or if yesterday was a fluke 🤷 I wanted to show DP today but know he won't be able to see it 😅 He might be questioning why I'm not drinking alcohol tonight at my birthday celebrations though!

I'm 12dpo so assumed lines would be more obvious by now... Is it still too early?

HannahLouD · 18/03/2023 06:58

@Mummy1502 @RegardingPersephone how are you both this morning? Done any more tests yet? x

@Mummy1502 I bought a shed load from holland and Barrett last year when we decided for a baby. I'm currently 8w.
I have listed mine on eBay for £25 for 12 (they cost me £46)
If anyone wanted them from here I'd get them posted out on speedy delivery just let me know you're on MN

@Mummy1502 I think I must have deleted the pictures... oops!

HannahLouD · 17/03/2023 13:31

I do have some! I'm just about to go into a work meeting (wfh so only skype!) but I'll go have a look when I'm done :) I assume they're probably 10mlu but these are my boots and frer tests from 10dpo and I think they are very similar!
Yes I agree! I didn't tell anyone last month (apart from my partner of course!) and when we hopefully get another bfp absolutely will not be saying anything until after the 12 week scan! I was so close to saying something to my daughter last time as she is desperate for a sibling but I am sooo glad I didn't and I defo won't be next time either! x

@HannahLouD i might get the boots early ones then I think, they are out of FRER now and not sure when there next delivery is, will grab some today, do you have any leftover to see what the concentration hcg is with those? FRER is 6mlu isn’t it and most other early ones are 10mlu, yea I love that we can chat on here especially as now when we do get a bfp we won’t be telling anyone until we get to 12 weeks so it’s nice to talk about it on here x
