pontipinemum · 05/12/2023 14:23

@NLmum4 aw sorry, have you got anything for it? I had really bad cramps in Italy and they gave me really good painkillers in the pharmacy!

@Whisperdoodle1 I remember the digital ones took a little while to go to 2-3 weeks 3-4 weeks

@pontipinemum still early 🤞

My AF is pretty bad this month - not sure why . Can't wait for it to be over to start fresh

@Nic17 I must have a look, I've never actually used those one.

@Whisperdoodle1 oh very good!! I had positive OPKs when I was pregnant. Will you book the gp for bloods or just wait for maternity?

9DPO here, I did another 2 cheap test this morning and nothing not even a hint. So after having had very 'seeable' lines 2 days ago I am starting to think I am out. Also I broke apart the CB digital, I know you're not supposed to. Only 1 line in there it's had to see in that pic. The last time I broke it apart and I was pregnant there were 2 lines even though it said not pregnant.

Oh no, sorry you still not had BFP yet, 9dpo is still very early, my 9dpo tests were super faint and I'm not even sure when I ovulated so could have been more, I'm just going by the prediction on the app.

Im not sure the GP will bother doing bloods and just tell me to wait and rely on the tests :/

How's everyone doing this morning? Today is the day AF is due, according to the tests still pregnant, although not getting as dark as I was expecting! Did an OPK 'for science' and it was the most positive I've ever had 😂😂

Starlight11111 · 04/12/2023 23:08

@pontipinemum I am like you and spend so much money on tests 😅 Amazon have frer at the mo!

pontipinemum · 04/12/2023 21:04

@Nic17 I though FRER tests were gone? I've Tesco coming tomorrow, I've €30 with of CB tests in it 😳

@Nic17 oh I just remembered so the one of mine I had a small tiny nose bleed as a symptom 🤞

Starlight11111 · 04/12/2023 15:34

@NLmum4 I guess it could have been implantation but it seemed too late. I am fully back to symptom spotting now though and randomly had a small nose bleed an hour ago?! Feel like a crazy woman now, got some more frer tests arriving tonight so will use one tomorrow if af doesn't arrive x

@NLmum4 that's good you just want your period and to shut the door on this cycle. I feel you understand the testing, I did another one and no hint of any line/ shadow at all. I've tesco coming tomorrow so I've ordered 2 of the 6 day early tests and 1 digital I'll be broke 😂I don't really know when I am going to be 6 days before my period though but I am guessing if they don't pick it up on 10DPO there is probably little hope.

@pontipinemum sounds awful. How confusing that would have been too- our bodies really do play games 😢

I took another one and also let it dry a bit and no line so feel better as sure it is an evap now .

OP posts:
pontipinemum · 04/12/2023 10:29

@NLmum4 I'm on my laptop and it's never as good for seeing pics but I don't know if I can see anything on those. I've no clue about temp I've never done it.
I had a full period when pregnant once, but it ended in MC at around 8 weeks. But when I had my last MC, the lady in the chemist when I went for painkillers needed to ask why I needed them before she gave them, and I told her. She said her mum had full on periods for 3 months when pregnant with her.

These are my temp during AF now . Haven't property recorded Bbt before this cycle but thought it would go down for the duration of AF. Or is that not correct.

@pontipinemum you defo had lines. It's all so confusing isn't it. I never got good readings from FMU for some reason. Afternoon was always better for me.

Photo - one at bottom. It was out of time but never had evap on these before. I'm hoping this is my first evap line on these tests.

@NLmum4 I tried an easy at home 1st thing this morning. When the alarm went off DH nearly pushed me out of the bed to go pee, I think I have rubbed off on him😂I can't see anything on it. I drink a lot of water over night though, my throat gets very dry and always pee at least once too so I'm not sure FMU is my best bet. I'll try again later.

I tried to get an app with the nurse for bloods, yesterday would have been better but I want to test my progesterone. They aren't doing them for a few days the lab is closed with a covid outbreak! Thought that was behind us.

Is it a strong line you got today? Your right though unfortunately it's not a good sign if you have full on AF. I know we all hear anecdotal stories about having AF and being pregnant but only in my experience it's not a good sign.

@pontipinemum have you tried another @home test? Maybe digital not as sensitive . 8dpo is early I think

@Nic17 could it be implantation ?

I have had which I hope is an evap line on the @home test this morning (was out of time ). I'm hoping it is an evap line as I am full on AF which can't be a good sign if pregnant . Will keep testing to make sure evap.

pontipinemum · 04/12/2023 08:15

"Not Pregnant" on the CB digital 😔I'm 8DPO so maybe a little early for it.

@Nic17 that is very annoying. You just want your period to start and shut the door on this cycle

Starlight11111 · 04/12/2023 07:55

Ladies this cycle is a weird one. My spotting pretty much stopped, AF hasn't arrived yet and I'm now a day late but still stark BFN even on very sensitive tests. Usually my cycle is like clockwork 🤨 currently CD30 and 14DPO. Just wish AF would hurry up now.

How long had u been trying for

Think this is our 6th month now x

NLmum4 · 03/12/2023 16:11

@Whisperdoodle1 for future reference - I see you used a boots one. Was that early detection? And did you use it before you got the line in the photo. Wondering how sensitive they are in reality

Hey, yes it's the 5 days early boots one. I found they picked things up quite early however do take awhile for the line to be properly noticeable (not always in the time frame) so I have been cautious whether they were accurate when they were super faint as was worried I had line eyes within the time. I also found when they were negative and they dried out they would get a waterline-
Basically like An evap which tricked me, weirdly haven't noticed these on the definite positive ones, maybe I'm not having to look so hard for the line though 😂. They seemed to have gotten darker sooner than the easy@home strips 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bugs22mk · 03/12/2023 18:53

@pontipinemum not not the one step ones but very similar from Amazon - I never got an evap line on the negative ones for those strip tests so looks very promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! xx

pontipinemum · 03/12/2023 16:38

@NLmum4 I am a bit of an OTT tester too!! I did one the day the tests arrived on 3DPO, thankfully it wasn't far down and stood out in its pink packet, but I just fished it out of the bin 👽it is completely negative. Nothing appeared on it even after 4 days. So I am cautiously trusting what I am seeing :)

@Whisperdoodle1 thank you I am cautiously optimistic.

Ovulation was late this month so I am guessing that means AF should be late. Flo is saying I am due on this Wednesday but I am only 7DPO
