Another BFN this morning. When will I learn? Hmm feel a little AFy, so reckon I'm out Sad

Tamara160 · 24/10/2015 08:51

Cookies it's taking everything i have not to test! I have a cheapie and a CB test in my bedside drawer and I'm desperate to test! AF is due tuesday according to my app so don't know whether to test sunday just to see. When do you think you might test?

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 09:28

Just came back from a two-day conference and pulled my test out of the bin from 48 hours ago... And now there is a very clear cross. Does this happen with all pregnancy tests?!

I would test again but I HAVE NO WEE!!!

Sodasoda · 24/10/2015 10:33

Good luck testers! Ooh bluebell - that sounds exciting! I've pulled tests out the bin a few hours later but not days but I've never got positives Angry

I tested again last night - bfn. Completely white. Today I'm CD30 and 2 days late. No symptoms to speak of and don't feel like AF is coming. I'm not going to test today because getting another negative would just ruin my mood so going to do FMU with a first response tomorrow if still no sign. Been using Internet cheapies so far.

tamara if AF due Tuesday I reckon you could test Sunday morning. Test together?!

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 10:52

thisisbonkers I feel very AFy today too. Not knowing when to expect it is making matters worse. Crampy but not hormonal. I've added some tests to my Amazon basket Hmm the lower back ache is telling me it would be a waste of money
tamara I don't know how much longer I can wait. The only thing stopping me is how shit I'll feel when it's negative. I've been googling the tests and they do say they can detect 5 days early in some cases...
bluebell ignore that test! (Although I would be secretly hopeful too) they really do have to be within the test period. But do another one ASAP! Don't go drinking loads of water though it could dilute the wee too much! Can you wait til tomorrow morning?! Keep us posted!!

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 10:53

And tattie I hope you feel better soon Thanks

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 10:56

Okay, just POAS - not an early testing one either - with two hours' worth of urine rather thAn fmu, and I can see a very faint line. DH can't but he only glanced. Going to test again in the morning so I'll join you, Soda!

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 11:20

DH now agrees that there is a faint blue line, but doesn't seem particularly excited! I think he doesn't believe a faint line means anything. He also just said he doesn't see the point in pregnancy tests, and that I should just wait for AF to be really late and then I would know.

Men. That's all I can say!

I'll test in the morning and keep you posted. Good luck to everyone testing this weekend xx

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 11:26

So, top photo is the one I fished out of the bin (cross means pregnant), bottom photo is the one I just took (line means pregnant)...

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 11:29

Oh dear, you can't see the lines at all in that tiny photo but I'm positive they are there! Right, got to put it out of my mind now.

KittyandTeal · 24/10/2015 11:38

I can see lines. Congratulations :)

Thisisbonkers · 24/10/2015 12:13

If the lines were there within the timeframe then that's a BFP Smile

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 12:55

I wouldn't go by the first one but I think I can see a faint line in the second! I would say an early congratulations are in order! ThanksThanksThanksHow many days til AF due? Maybe take another tomorrow morning to confirm? Don't listen to DH they know nothing Wink

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 12:56

Ps I'm more than sure a first response might jump in my trolley when I do the food shop later.. Only have DD2 who will be non the wiser... Just to have it... I'm not going to test... Hmm

Bluebell20 · 24/10/2015 13:21

The second one had a faint blue line appear almost immediately, within seconds, but then it got steadily more blue over an hour or so. It looks like this now! My periods are a bit irregular so I was due any time between yesterday and Monday. I'll take another in the morning (DH will be unimpressed!).

Cookies, none of the supermarkets around me do a FRER! If I were you I would be popping one in my trolley too!

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 13:39

Eekk!! How exciting! As long as there was something within the time then it's a BFP for sure! That's a good point bluebell they might not, I'm worried this is triggering a memory from 4 years ago that I had to go hunting.. If my cycle is 28 then I'm due tomorrow but I don't think it's going to be ..

Tamara160 · 24/10/2015 16:37

Oo congratulations bluebell! I hope you get another one in the morning!

Soda i like your thinking! Let's do it and keep everything crossed!

Loki17 · 24/10/2015 16:39

Congratulations, Bluebell!

Cookiesandcoffee · 24/10/2015 17:45

Horrific afternoon. Tesco didn't have any FR as I thought.. And to cut a long (and painful) story I made it to the pharmacy (6 mile round trip) 5 mins after it closed despite its website saying it was open til 6AngryAngry. Won't have a chance to even buy one until Tuesday afternoon now. Concluding my bad mood is another indicator AF is very much around the corner ...

Sodasoda · 24/10/2015 23:59

Congratulations bluebell! A line is a line! I hope some of your luck rubs off on the rest of us!

No sign of AF at all for me. Tomorrow will be CD31 - officially the latest I've ever been in 6 months TTC. Eek! Really trying not to get hopes up!

See you for FMU testing tomorrow tamara Everything crossed!

Bluebell20 · 25/10/2015 07:57

Cookies, I'm sorry you couldn't find a FR! I haven't been able to find one in tesco or Sainsbury's locally, either, which I think is odd as clearly lots of people use them! And that is gutting re the pharmacy.

Soda and tamara, I have my fingers crossed for you guys this morning.

I just did a third test with FMU and it was a clear BFP. I don't think it's sunk in yet - really was not expecting it, to the point that after a month of not drinking, I actually had a couple of drinks at a conference last Thursday. Shock

What a lucky thread this has been!

Tamara160 · 25/10/2015 09:49

I'm thrilled for you Bluebell!

I got a BFN this morning but I'm not due until tuesday according to my app, so I'm not too disheartened. Have you tested yet Soda?

Oh dear Cookies, sounds like an awful day! Gutted for you.

Sodasoda · 25/10/2015 11:06

Congratulations bluebell!

Sorry cookies - that does sound a painful day!

BFN for me today with a FRER. Just need to accept I'm out this month. Wish AF would just hurry up now. I've got no idea where it's got to! But it's just annoying me now Angry I'm not wasting any more tests, just going go sit tight and wait for the inevitable.

You're still definitely in tamara - will you test again tomorrow?

Tamara160 · 25/10/2015 13:23

Ah soda! Don't give up yet, you're not out until the witch arrives!

I'm just going to wait and see if AF turns up because I've only got one test left
I'm getting some cramps today so I'm hoping for late implantation.

Cookiesandcoffee · 25/10/2015 15:22

You're Definitely still in tamara! And i had a load of achey cramps yesterday that have completely disappeared today? Finally got a FR today! Made an excuse to go out.. Still took me three more shops to get it?!? What the!! Testing in the morning but app says AF due 29th.. That would be CD33 though?! Although who knows how long my cycle will be.. I'm really really not hopeful though.

bluebell how very exciting and so real!! I really wouldn't worry too much, I've had quite a few drinks but then I'm quite laid back. With DD1 I was young and out drinking loads before I realised I was pg ConfusedBlush
