Think i can see a tiny line! Congrats!!!!

There's a few comments on the net about IC and false positives so I'm not getting hopes up. Will wait and see what FRER says in the morning

I can't see anything radders but so excited for you and hope to see it on a frer tomorrow. Thought you wouldn't be long to getting it again

Yea lets see what FRER says .... I'm pretty dubious!
It is really Faint so not surprised you can't see it on the pic.
It could be an Evap line but it did show within 5 mins

Wow radders - hope it's a positive! fingers crossed for tomorrow's test. If it's showing on IC then it should show on a FRER or clearblue. X

FX Radders!!! Can't wait to see FRER result in the morning!!! x

Thank you all. Will let you know in the morning xx

Radders I see it 😍 and it's exactly where it should be! Ridiculously excited for your frer tomorrow, seems the relaxed approach has worked wonders!

No mistaking this line

IC darker today which is good too.
I'm thinking I might be more dpo than originally thought for IC to pick up and FRER to have such a dark line! FRER came up straight away.

Feeling anxious and want this week to be out the way as last time suffered chemical at CD30. Will be testing everyday to check the lines aren't getting lighter xx

Radders-Yay!!!! It's a BFP for u. Def a line in that one! Congrats hon. Very pleased for you.

How many dpo are u? List every symptom u had!! Also did u temp?

Yay Radders! That's a lovely frer line, did it get that dark last time? Of course you'll be anxious, I tested every day too even though others said not to. I didn't stop until about 6 weeks, when hook effect kicked in and scared me. Have you told your OH yet? So exciting. Congratulations, have fun figuring out EDD.

The list needs updating ☺️

Thank you both.
Yea Parney - OH was with me. Well this morning I couldn't hold my wee anymore so just woke him up as soon as saw the line!

I calculated I'm 11dpo - I only took about three temps. But it just seems so dark. It's a lot darker than the line I had last time which is already a better sign I think.
The only real symptom I've had is gas... Lots of trumping!
And creamy CM.

Parney what's hook effect??

Sending everyhing your way radders! Yay!! Super exciting!! About time another BFP!

Hook effect can kick in around 6-7 weeks when hormones are so strong they send the tests a bit mad and lines are lighter with some people reporting negatives. I had to dilute my pee until it was mostly water so I'd get a nice dark line. That's when I knew it was time to stop! What CD are you? The dark line is a great sign. I didn't have any line at 11 dpo on IC. Then 3 days later it was quite dark.

Thanks Parney, I've never heard of that! I will test all this week and then see how I go. You have to stop eventually don't you.

I'm cd25. Maybe I ovulated a day earlier and am 12 dpo? Who knows!

Due date should between Feb 20th and 24th I think.

Good luck everybody else! Anyone else testing today?!

Thank you footprints ... Fx for you xxx

Congratulations!!

So pleased for you, fx for a sticky little bean.

Have you had any of your usual pre AF symptoms radders?

Foolishly thinking I might have a chance over here, feeling very pre menstrual.

Did not sleep a single minute last night. Mostly jet lag but also stress and sadness that this isn't happening. I know I need to relax and stay positive but I feel like I'm falling apart.

Jem - I don't really get any pre AF symptoms other than being really tired.
That would normally come on this week.

I honestly believe that stress can stop you so my biggest advise is to just try and stay calm. Last month I was really stressed out and it didn't happen. I've been so much calmer and happier this month, in work life too.

Plus you might be anxious over nothing which is why I test early because you get all stressed etc and what if there's a little bean in there. It can't be good for them. I'm not saying testing early is right but at least you will know where you stand rather than guessing and feeling anxious. Even if it comes negative - we all assume negative anyway and spend a week worrying, so why not just know.

I know it's not nice seeing negative but at least we know where we stand.

Feeling positive for you Jem. If it doesn't happen this month you must make a conscious effort to try and stay calm next month! Xxx

Oh and testing early isn't great because you obviously can suffer a chemical .... But me personally would prefer to know I've suffered one so then can go doctors if happened too often xx

Yayyy congratulations radders!!!

CD2410DPO
Yes Radders!!!!!! So happy for you
Lovely strong line which I think is a great sign. I bet you are beside yourself, certainly brightened up a gloomy Monday morning, you've put a big smile on my face!
Jem pre-AF signs are not necessarily a bad thing. Some women describe the feeling of pg like exaggerated PMS. I'm sorry you're feeling so down and stressed... Ovia tells me 'your hormones will level out if you didn't conceive' so not a bad thing at all to feel hormonal! Exciting week ahead, think positive!! xx

Thanks tee - it doesn't seem real at minute. I'm sure you understand that it's difficult to get excited after a chemical... So really hoping it sticks but I am feeling more positive because the line is dark. The last ones I did were lighter than that at a later date

Totally understand why you test early, I did that the first few cycles when I thought it would happen. Now I feel like it'll never happen and I can't handle the disappointment.

This is something I've wanted for as long as I can remember and want more than anything. I can't believe it's just not and I feel so helpless.

Sorry for sounding so dramatic! I think a lot of this is my tired wired brain. Ended up getting up at 2am and watching telly until 4. Got back into bed and listened to hypnosis after relaxation podcast trying to switch off and couldn't. Was still trying to get even 10 minutes of sleep at 7am!

I don't think going away was very good for me, I feel stressed anxious tired and ridiculously hormonal

So pleased for you though radders, you deserve this after the heartache of before. Very pleased our group has another bfp finally!
