Welcome @hiddenfigure you may not have ovulated yet or could have been super early or you may have missed it. I get my peak CD10/11 so if I tested CD12 I would miss it. I have short 25 day cycles though.

I'm 10DPO and feel like I'm going insane 🤣 jumping between 'ooh this could be it' to 'let's be honest it's never going to be positive'. I keep saying I'm not symptom spotting but my brain does it subconsciously. Send help!

I've just seen on Superdrug online the 2 pack of FRER tests is on offer for £8.49 for anyone who needs them. I'm gonna get a couple of packs as until my periods return from the mini pill I think I'll just have to test monthly to see if anything has happened.

They're cheaper on amazon (I just ordered 2 packs of 2 for £13.50) arriving Saturday

@Makeafamily19 I'm the same. 12dpo today and spent mon - tue thinking I had all these symptoms so I must be pregnant.
And then all day yesterday thinking I had no symptoms so a test is going to be negative

@claireb707 I’m 11dpo today and it’s so hard not too read into this 😬😬 ... The only things I’ve noticed really is the odd tender feeling in my breast and more hot and cold flushes than normal so it’s anyone’s guess right now ... currently telling myself I’m not and expecting AF tomorrow or Saturday to help lessen the disappointment as last month I literally convinced myself I was pregnant and clearly wasn’t!

Thanks @claireb707 will get them there instead

You guys should order clear and simple ones from b&minor savers. Their 99p and I got a positive at 11dpo 😊

These! You can buy packs of two in-store of b&m

Thanks for your kind words everyone! Looks like they worked...

Having my OPK show nothing yesterday, today I have a peak of 86...! Looks like I am ovulating. Is this normal to go from 0 to 86 in about 28 hours? Should I test again later?

Also, what’s the difference between LH and HCG levels? Both showing as high - 86/87.

@hiddenfigure Yeah that's completely normal hun, mine went from 0.38 to 0.87. Do another one tonight tho just to make sure 😊. Ladies correct me if I'm wrong but LH is the hormones that build before you ovulate and HCG is the pregnancy hormone

That's correct @Hewie30
LG is ovulation hormone, hcg is pregnancy one

I don’t really understand...

I use the femometer app and scanned the ovulation stick in to the LH test and HCG test. Both showing high levels. But I should only count the LH (ovulation) one?

So I should only scan pregnancy tests into the HCG part?

Sorry about the silly questions - I am so clueless! (Where is the facepalm emoji lol).

Sorry no idea, not used that app but would makes sense to only use the lh bit. If you haven't even ovulated yet then you won't detect hcg

@hiddenfigure I'm not sure what app your using but yeah I'd have thought you scan the pregnancy test in the HCG one and the opk strips in the LH one 😊

Bfn on frer 😩

Woken up absolutely roasting this morning too (before heating came on)

@claireb707 so sorry hun x just remember you're not out till af arrives x

@claireb707 Awh sorry hun but your definatly not out until AF arrives. How many dpo are you?

13dpo today

Hi @Hewie30 how are you? Where are you in your cycle?
I'm 3DPO today, CD19 and just noticed that for the last 3 months I logged that my boobs were sore from CD19, but can't feel anything at the moment. It's crazy early into TWW and I'm already starting to ponder over any possibilities lol x
@Gigi318 where are you hun? How are you doing? x

@claireb707 Your definatly not out yet hun, I've got everything crossed for you. When's AF due?

@katie1109 I'm good thanks hun, I'm on month 5 and I got my BFP on Monday 😊, I didn't want to put it on here as I'd be Mia for a bit and your all going through so much but I'm 15dpo today and had 5 bfp I've taken one everyday 🤣.

Ooo that's positive!!! This month I go no symptoms... Only backache early on then cold symptoms later so thought I was getting ill!

Oh @Hewie30 congratulations 🎈🎈👶🏻👏👏

Period in theory not due till next week 🤔

Yet more stabbing / shooting pains down below this morning as well a hint of spotting and slightly sore boob

@claireb707 Thank you 😊, it was a massive shock most definitely thought I was out!!

That's interesting! Definatly sounds like you could still be in there? I'm wondering if spotting could be implantation? 🤞. I'd definitely test in a few more days again!!
