@saze4 I agree! It's a way to make money though, if people don't know they'll buy them 😩

@saze4 I don't want to get your hopes up hun but Sainsbury's are known for false positives - my best friend used on and freaked out but it was false...

But if AF hasn't come maybe hold off for a few days? Xx

This is today’s. It does show up a bit stronger in real life than in pictures. Any thoughts?

@cupcakesandglitter - I have blue veins too! The symptom spotting is quite something 😂

@FSlater congratulations!!! I'm 4 weeks today and it came out of blue in a way for me. I'd been really relaxed this month and didn't have any symptoms so a positive result was a shock to say the least. I've started a thread called 'first babies due in April' if you want to join, all of the other threads had 300+ posts which I find confusing! Feel free to pop over along with anyone else, it's nice to maintain some continuity with people x

Hi can I join?

I'm 23, Currently TTC #1. No idea when I ovulate - Flo predicts it to be tomorrow but I can't really temp or try OPKs as I don't have a routine. Me and DH have DTD every one/two days since CD5... I've got undressed and me and DH both looked at my boobs - they're still really sore but the veins on them are HUGE, and I also have more veins across my chest too. I'm sure my nipples look more deep in colour too... I'm only CD15 though so I doubt it means anything. So hard to not symptom spot, I'm already going crazy 😩 xx

@saze4 thank you so much ☺️
@lucyc10 of COURSE I remember MumPlanner. How is it going?
ClearBlue confirmed it!

I think it massively helped that I really relAxed into it this month. It was the fertile window before I knew it - I didn’t let it stress me out. I slept with rose quartz and moonstone under my pillow (never been into crystals before but you try anything don’t you!). We used the SMEP and we’ve been using preseed, but this month I actually used the plunger-y wotsits which probably made a difference.

In terms of symptoms - I had less CM this month than last month before period! So that made me think I was out! Boobs have been a bit sore, but only on the sides and not too painful. The last two days I’ve had off work because I felt so dizzy and light-headed. My CP has been high and soft, but definitely open. Otherwise, I’ve just had proper period cramps for a few days. I still very much have them now - feels like AF is literally about to arrive. Ladies I can’t stress enough it feels EXACTLY the same. People always said it felt the same as AF pains but I was sure I’d be able to tell the difference. Nope. I had written it off so much so, that I’d bought a book on fertility ready for next window!

I hope these symptoms etc. help.

What do I do now? Haha. It’s our first, so I have no idea... only 4 weeks pregnant!

Hi @FSlater! (My name used to be Mumplanner, in case you remember!)
Definitely looks like a pretty strong positive - congratulations!!!
Let us know how the other brand goes!!! xx

Hey! I’ve not posted on a while - I don’t know if anyone will even remember me. Anyway. This happened today! I can’t believe it, it doesn’t feel real. This is a line, right? I had totally written it off because my AF pains were so strong. I think I’m 10dpo but maybe later judging by the line? Is there ANY way this could be false? Husband has gone to get a different brand. I’m numb! X

Fingers and toes crossed for you @LucyC10 I'm not really feeling any extreme emotions at the moment, guess because it's really early I don't want to get my hopes up but equally want to enjoy it and not live in fear for the next 8 weeks until I see the midwife. It's a peculiar feeling!

Hey! I'm 3dpo on 4th cycle! Dtd 3 days before ovulation 1 day before, on the day and the day after ovulation... surely theres a chance??? So jealous of seeing other woman pregnant just want it to be me! :(

I’m using FRER and it’s weaker than yesterday 😕
How are you feeling @donna474? On cloud 9? 😀

donna474 · 14/08/2018 15:44

@LucyC10 I'd say if you're only 11 dpo than you wouldn't necessarily get strong lines I would have thought but that's only my opinion. Is the line stronger than yesterday? What tests are you using as anything that's not a 10ml may not pick much up so early

Still just faint lines :( does that mean it's likely another chemical pregnancy?

Thanks @purplestar9 and @donna474 - I will probably do another one first thing in the morning and see if its any stronger xx
