Thanks for clarifying @SydBound27 picked up a Clearblue Early detection on my lunch today.

@Unicornsandrainbows1 think I'm about the same as you, 7/8 DPO. The test I got says you can take from 5 days before AF which is due Sunday so going to try the first one on Wednesday x

SydBound27 · 14/08/2017 16:15

@Nicolle it's best to use one with a pink dye rather than blue dye to avoid false positives (I know, how could they?!) so that's why the FRER is seen as the best. Good luck for Wednesday! Fx

MrsMamaG2016 · 14/08/2017 16:19

This is my Sainsbury's test two days ago... clear as day in person did another same night got the same thing... did a frer got a negative so looked up their brand online this is a common problem and people have been pregnant and recommend clear blue or cheapies so I'm off to the shops for another test to help... plus I'm 4 days late, had a bleed for a day of pinkish brown 2 weeks ago and nausea waves ever since so hopefully this might be it... me and hubby are ttc #2 but not religiously just chilled out approach like I did with my son so I don't do ovulation sticks or temputares because I get confused so not really been in need to symptom spot till this month x

@Frogqueen wowsers that is a definite BFP! Congrats to you. Flowers How are you feeling?!

Frogqueen13 · 14/08/2017 17:51

I have sore boobs but that's it! And I'm going to v festival on Friday 😂 I can't wait to tell a real person- but I can't until my husband is home

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/08/2017 18:24

@MrsMamaG2016 sorry to say but those Sainsbury's tests are notorious for false positives. I had a test looking like that last cycle. FRER was negative, I got AF. Good luck

Betsyboo87 · 14/08/2017 19:04

Congrats Frogqueen! Loving the bfs, they're giving me hope! I've had sore bbs since ov but I think they're getting less sore now which isn't so good.

Betsyboo87 · 14/08/2017 19:04

sorry I meant bfps not bfs....autocorrect

WhyTheHeckMe · 14/08/2017 20:49

@frogqueen huge congrats to you too! How far along do you think you are? I think I will be 4 weeks on Thursday. Soo early.

Wishing everyone else lots of luck with testing this week. How's everyone feeling?

This pregnancy has felt very different to when I found out with dc1. With him I had no idea I was pg till around 6 weeks and I'd had no symptoms. This time I had tons of symtoms, i wrote them down so if I got a bfn I'd know what was 'normal pre-af' so that I didn't get my hopes up next time. Will post below what they were...

I think I will be 4 weeks Friday 😂
So s early lol

Nicolle468 · 14/08/2017 21:24

@Frogqueen13 I'm at Chelmsford V fest all weekend too! Smile

Nicolle468 · 14/08/2017 21:26

@Frogqueen13 at least you'll save plenty of money at the beer tents.

AF not due until Sunday so I'll just have to go the weekend not drinking just in case Confused

Gennz · 14/08/2017 21:32

whytheheck you're giving me a bit of hope as I've had similar symptoms. plus DH is driving me insane

Caved this morning and poas - not a skerritt! I'm CD26 today and got a positive OPK on CD16 so not sure if that makes me 10 or 9 dpo? Hopefully too early...

canthavethenameiwant · 14/08/2017 23:34

I'm on cd 28, 11 dpo I think
I've been busy so it keeps my mind off it all
I think I will test in the morning
I got full heavy boobs and quite tired but they are sometimes pms symptoms, I tend not to symptom spot as mine are different month to month

Refilona · 15/08/2017 01:07

@Syd, did you test again? I think I see a line in yours?

Chooklass · 15/08/2017 07:30

Only 6dpo here and no symptoms (if I'm really honest with myself!). In a couple of days I'll probably still be fighting urge to poas ridiculously early though! It's so exciting to see others BFPs - hope you girls will keep popping in to thread and let us know how you're getting on? ❤️Xx

cottoncandee · 15/08/2017 07:52

Congrats to @WhyTheHeckMe and @Frogqueen13 ! Hope you have happy and healthy pregnancy.

I had very, very tiny amount (sorry for TMI) of pink spotting in my underwear last night and also when I wiped. Told DH about it, he's feeling positive about it because I had IB with the last one. I'm not feeling to positive as it was, I think, way too early for IB (6 DPO) and before this I had IB at 8 DPO.

Nicolle468 · 15/08/2017 08:01

So I was supposed to test tomorrow at what I thought would be about 9 DPO. Even though I thought it was too early to try a test this morning I just wanted to try.

Please tell me this is what I think it is?!

Ooh @cotton that's a good sign! FX for you

@refilona tested this morning and it was stark white - bfn! Boooo. Haven't had any implantation bleeding either like last time so not looking great. Had crazy cramps yesterday and nothing today. Af due Friday I think so it ain't over till it's over! she says with blind desperation how about you?

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 15/08/2017 08:15

@Nicolle I don't see how that's anything but positive! Grin

SydBound27 · 15/08/2017 08:39

@nicolle so sorry I missed your big news! Congratulations that's definitely a bfp! [Flowers]

Polly85 · 15/08/2017 09:02

I'm out. AF 5 days early. Sad

Polly85 · 15/08/2017 09:03

Best of luck to the rest of you xx
