@Mummy1502 I mean, I can see a faint line on your frer and obviously it was with smu so I really wouldn't worry too much! and there was a line on the CB one you did this morning! I reckon tomorrow when you (hopefully) see a line on your frer with fmu, you'll feel much better. Although, I still wouldn't worry if it's not much stronger tomorrow... it's still really early!!
You've had false positives on the CB ones before?? That's so horrible - I'm so sorry :( I have heard that blue dye tests aren't as reliable. Weirdly last months boots early tests (pink dye) picked up a stronger line than the frer at 10dpo so I've stocked up on boots ones now as they're slightly cheaper... must stop spending all my wages on pregnancy tests hahaha.

Ah man... sounds just like what I do šŸ™„šŸ˜…
I find mumsnet both really helpful and really stress-inducing. It's amazing to be able to speak to people (thank you!) but then I find I obsess over every single tiny thing I read and I compare EVERYTHING to what I'm going through which is sometimes helpful, but mostly probably not! x

Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 13:01

@HannahLouD Thankyou! I think that’s why I’m feeling disheartened I was expecting a line today on a FRER at 10dpo without having to take the test apart, now I’ve been reading by doing that it can cause it to dry out quicker causing an indent so I’m really not thinking I’ve had any real positives yet this month as I don’t trust the clearblue brand due to having false positives in previous months, no real tips no I’ve been testing everyday and constantly looking at mumsnet threads šŸ˜‚ I havnt been keeping calm at all x

@Mummy1502 Yes, I got mine off Amazon for about £8 I think... it's handy as when your temperature rises and stays risen you know for sure you have ovulated and can more easily pinpoint the day it happened... I only really ask because your temperatures stay elevated when you're pregnant and then drops a day or two before you come on AF... I did stop temping at 12dpo last month though because I was scared of seeing a temp drop after getting my bfp... Not sure whether I'll carry on this month if I get another bfp... it can be helpful but can also cause unnecessary worry I guess!
Please do keep us updated when you test again... I'm very invested now!! And I really, really hope and want this to be your month!
Thank you as well... I hope so too! Only time will tell! Obviously not in the tww yet but knowing I have a couple of weeks to wait before I start testing is already killing me šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I said after my cp that I would hold up until the day af was due next time, but I know full well I'll start testing at 9/10dpo šŸ™ˆ Gonna try to hold out until at least 10dpo though as I feel like that's when I'd be more likely to see something without having to hold it up in every single light and take it apart etc. Already so anxious it'll be stark white (worst feeling ever right!?) and then obviously if it is positive I'll be super worried I'll have a cp again.

How did you keep calm during the tww this time? Any tips?! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… I do really feel for you in this super early stage... it's so nerve wracking at the best of times, let alone after having a loss... eeeek x

Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 12:30

@HannahLouD no I don’t temp don’t you need a special thermometer? I hope you get your bfp this month x

Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 12:22

@HannahLouD il test again in the morning with a FRER, I also had my strongest opk this month, the peak means you will ovulate in the next 24-36 hours doesn’t it so maybe you might start getting some symptoms today/tomorrow x

@Mummy1502 Good idea - I'm sure it'll be darker in the morning! I really wouldn't read into it yet... as hard as it may be!
Do you temp at all?

Yeah, I've read you ovulate between 12-24 hours after your peak - I'm pretty sure last month I ovulated really quickly as I had a temperature rise the morning after my peak.

Oooh I do hope the darker peaks are a good sign šŸ¤žšŸ˜… Although it probably means nothing! haha. I hope I get some symptoms soon... I'll keep on temping and when I see that rise I can relax a bit knowing I have actually o'd x

@Mummy1502 I really wouldn't worry... it's early days still and you didn't take it with your fmu... I can see lines on all of the tests that you've taken so don't read too much into it... I say this, I know I'd be exactly the same šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø test again with a frer if you have one in the morning and see what it looks like then! :)

My opk this morning was reading at 1.38 on the premom app and I've just taken another one (after a 2 hour hold) and it's even darker, registering at 1.70 - my peak last month was 1.15 so these are the darkest I've had! (not that I think that really means anything?!) šŸ˜‚
I'm so confused though because I have no symptoms of ovulation at all... I have like, no cm and my cervix is still really firm. So, I'm worried that sperm won't be able to survive in there šŸ˜… Last month a couple of days before ovulation and on the day and day after I had loads of watery cm and I've had none for ages now šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Ah well... x

Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 10:55

@HannahLouD okay now it’s dried there’s defo a line isn’t there? I think I looked too early and assumed it was negative, took it apart and could clearly (or not so clearly) see this one, still faint so not getting my hopes up but yea it was my second wee of the day but didn’t have any frers in this morning, I’m so happy for you! The tww can finally start for you x

@Mummy1502 oh no! Really?? Picture?
I mean... It's still so early, it's probably just because you didn't test with fmu... Don't lose hope! I've got everything crossed for you... šŸ¤ž Sending love and sticky vibes! I bet if you test with fmu tomorrow it'll be there!x

HannahLouD · 17/03/2023 10:10

FINALLY!!! hahahah.
Didn't dtd last night (did the previous 3 nights) kinda glad now as obviously gotta do it the next couple of nights now and I don't think my partner would have coped if we didn't have a break yesterday šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
I can't believe how relieved I am just to have positive opks... How sad šŸ˜…šŸ™ˆ
At least I now know if I have another cp (please no!) That it can mess up my cycle...x

Anyone else in tww?
Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 09:29

@HannahLouD tested with a frer, not even a hint of a line now, as expected the clearblue is another False positive, 10dpo today, looking like another non sticky bean, unless the first frers were also indents x

HannahLouD · 17/03/2023 09:04

@Mummy1502 @cavebaby ah I really do hope so! That was with fmu which for me never usually gives the strongest lines so I'm going to hold out as long as I can this morning and go without my tea until I test again... So hoping for a darker line!!šŸ¤ž If not I think I really do give up as it's been like, 3 weeks since I started bleeding with my cp.

@RegardingPersephone I agree with the others... Test again tomorrow and see! Although from my own experience (obviously not speaking for everyone) ics tend to show up much lighter and take longer to progress than frers for example. I personally found last cycle that boots early pregnancy tests were just as good as first response! So if you can, maybe try one of those? Fingers crossed for you!

RegardingPersephone · 17/03/2023 08:45

Thanks all. I'll keep testing over the next few days and see!

I hope everyone else's journey is going okay. It's so hard once you start.

Mummy1502 · 17/03/2023 08:04

@HannahLouD that looks positive to me!
@cavebaby thanks ladies will go get some more free today, @RegardingPersephone i think I can see something x

@HannahLouD Ooh looking promising! Hopefully today šŸ¤žšŸ»

@RegardingPersephone I can see a very faint shadow but I wouldn't like to commit to it being a line, test again in a couple of days and hopefully you'll get a clearer answer!

RegardingPersephone · 17/03/2023 07:50

Hi all!
I think I'm 11dpo today but could be wrong as my opk wasn't super dark when I caught it, just much darker than previously.

I tested yesterday and this morning. Thought I saw a vvvvvv faint line yesterday and talked myself out of it. Tested this morning and clearblue said no but I think I see a line on the bottom test in this pic? Not sure! Any help? 😬

Anyone else in tww?
HannahLouD · 17/03/2023 07:43

My test just now... Maybe I'll finally get my peak today šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž not getting my hopes up though šŸ˜… think that's the lesson for me in general aha... x

Anyone else in tww?
cavebaby · 17/03/2023 07:39

Tentative congratulations @Mummy1502, definitely looks like a line.

HannahLouD · 17/03/2023 07:31

Yayy! That's looking so promising! šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž Mine wasn't much darker at 11dpo.... x

@cavebaby 2.06 is mad!!! Wow, that's seriously positive! šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚ Amazing.
Today mine have gone from 0.49 to 0.34 to 0.17... šŸ™„ so frustrating!
I've literally been tracking everything... I never get ewcm, just wet... Which I haven't had much of at all recently (had loads after my cp though), cervix is firm and closed and my temps are still low... No ovulation dip either which I've had 2 days before o in the last two cycles. I really don't know what's going on. I honestly thought that when I got the darker IC it was the start of something :( x

cavebaby · 16/03/2023 18:56

@HannahLouD That's normally about what ratio mine are on Premom but this morning it was 2.06! 36 hours before that it was at 0.13 though so things can change quickly. Hard as it is, try not to give up hope. Have you been tracking your cervical mucus?

HannahLouD · 16/03/2023 18:19

That one that was looking stronger must have been a fluke... This one was even lighter again... I give up šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøx

Mummy1502 · 16/03/2023 18:09

@HannahLouD will test in the morning x
