Positive FRER guys!! It’s happening!!!!

Starryxx · 18/02/2026 20:12

hi everyone! apologies this is very long winded

so af is due in 2 days. im currently on cd 26 and my cycle ranges from 25-32 days. according to my flo app i ovulated around the 5th/6th feb ( i dont track ovulation as of yet just keep an eye on my cervical mucus)

i usually spot in most of my tww as a standard,
however on monday so the 16th i woke up to what i thought was af. i got out of bed and felt a (sorry tmi!) warm gush of something so i went to check and it was fresh blood, probably a tablespoon. i put a pad on and noticed at work there was a tiny bit more on the pad and since then i haven’t had any blood!

yesterday i had one occasion of cm which was mainly like a (sorry tmi) gloopy browny light red colour.
fast forward to today i have had my usual discharge/cm and there’s been tiny pink/red streaks in it but the majority of it has been just the usual cm.

its all just so strange 🤣

@Toomanyweekstogohaha have jut bought some on prime!!

will try to hold out to Thursday morning when I’d be either 13 or 14dpo (got my positive opk in the morning after a negative one in the morning so not sure if I ovulated the day after or the day after that). Should be pretty conclusive then. Realistically tomorrow I might be risking this uncertainty still if I do it tomorrow?

I can see a line on both of your photos I think! I’ve found Wondfo to be really sensitive, here’s my 11dpo (today) with 7, 8, 9 and 10dpo above it, you’re using first morning urine right? X

Now the boots has dried out there’s defs a thin pink line but I know it’s not valid as not in the test window. Why do I do this to myself by early testing!! 🤣🤦‍♀️

Can you get some first response? Or at 12dpo I’d have thought a CB early digital would pick it up x

11-12 dpo. Felt like I saw something on wonfo but boots early detection looks negative. Line eyes anyone? TWW is so hard!!

Oooh send a picture! I love looking at tests (is that crazy)! Peeing lots is a good sign. I’ve had my digital, at 9dpo, now scared about multiples! Although I’m abroad, so it’s in Spanish! Hopefully it gets sticky, but I’m expecting it again and protecting myself!

No way, now I’m worried cause I don’t feel any different, having twinges in my right ovary kind of area but I’ve been having the same since ovulation so I have no clue whether that means anything! The only other thing I can think of is I keep desperately needing to pee, I was at the hairdressers yesterday and had to get up 3x in a couple hours to go but I thought it may be the beginning of a UTI…
Oh a chemical sounds stressful, I really hope this one sticks for you!

I’ve done another test already and it looks pretty much identical to the one I sent earlier, a very very faint line 🧐 My partner can actually see the lines though which has reassured me I’m not going absolutely insane! We shall see in the morning! Keep me updated on you as well xx

Thank you! I’m sure I will update you all tomorrow either way haha
How are you getting on @MissPipkin? Have you caved and tested yet or are you holding out? Xx

I was going to try and hold out after last month. My period was a week late and totally got my hopes up but i think i just ovulated late. I do have a few cheap sensitive tests though and I'm really tempted to try one tomorrow 🤣. I don't have strong willpower with testing and I'll be 10 dpo so why not.

Oh yeh I’ve had acid for two days and struggled to keep my breakfast and lunch down, which doesn’t bode well already - petrified about multiples as only had a chemical last month 🤣 fingers crossed the creamy stuff is a sign! Send us another test pic in the morning (if you can hold off that long) xx

Nothing at all! Creamy CM but not sure if that’s normal at this stage before a period anyway? Can’t remember I feel like my brain has gone to mush 😃 How about you? Xx

Oh wow I was totally wrong about the self control then! 🤣 No I don’t blame you whatsoever, I’d be exactly the same! All of your tests look positive to me, I can see something on the pink dye from the pharmacy too. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you that it sticks 🤞🏼

I didn’t say I did one a day 🤣 I brought 7 and an FRER 🤣 and have had two trips to the pharmacy since! Absolutely bonkers me! I’ve had two chemicals in the last four months, so I am not counting any chickens yet. Very fertile (for an old bird), just need to get sticky now. The pink dye was one I got from the pharmacy yesterday, but questioned test reliability, until I’ve had two obvious (I think) clear blues today

Yes that’s a super clear line to me! How exciting, also you have more self control than I do for just taking 2 tests away with you 🤣 I’d be at the pharmacy by now 🤣
