Morning all, 13dpo today! I nearly collapsed when I looked in the mirror this morning, I was so pale I looked ghostly! Other than that no symptoms as such but my temps are still up and I'm super tired. trackers say I'm already late but based on previous cycles I would expect AF today or tomorrow...

LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 08:27

@toomuchteaandcake Best of luck for you!

@itssquidstella Did you tested today?

IΒ΄ve just had a BFN on a FRER at 13/14 dpo, so I am out for sure Sad

itssquidstella · 24/10/2019 09:20

@LunaLlena I did, and it was negative 😩 I know I'm only 12dpo and I'm not out until AF arrives, but I'm getting frustrated now!

Does anyone know where you can buy tests that are sensitive to 10mlU? I only have 25mlU ones.

LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 09:29

@itsquidstella youΒ΄re still early, donΒ΄t worry! I buy all my tests in amazon, itΒ΄s really convenient that they send them home and I donΒ΄t have to move (I work from home). In fact my one steps tests have just arrived, I bought them yesterday, they told me they would arrive on Friday but theyΒ΄re now here, I really love amazon Grin

itssquidstella · 24/10/2019 09:45

I'm staying at my mum's for a few days so I can't get anything from Amazon right now.

Are the FRER that everyone talks about different from the First Response that you can buy in Boots? I've never seen a box that says 'early response' on it.

LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 10:10

@itssquidstella I think they are called First Response Early Result (FRER) but in the box the name itΒ΄s not written all together. My box says First response (brand) 6 days earlier and more below it says "early results". Looking at the boots website, those are the same as mine

Thank you so much everyone ❀️❀️ all so kind.

Do you know what I done... i followed the flo app for 2 months and then thought do u know what im gonna just do this properly so i bought the clear blue digital ovulation sticks which identified straight away and may I add flo was 6 days out and that was with a history of period dates etc so legit advise you all to check inside of your body and get the digital sticks as its so easy to read a smiley for yes rather than pee on the sticks where you have to kinda guess if there getting darker and all that chaos!! when i was ovulating and then made sure i baby danced for 4 days after and i also used conceive plus lube applicator each time and boom bfp.

All the luck in the world for you lovely bunch ❀️❀️

Thanks @LunaLlena, I'll pick some up today and test on Saturday if AF hasn't shown up.

toomuchteaandcake · 24/10/2019 10:35

@itssquidstella I'm doing that too! 48 hours of wondering ahead... unless she arrives.

@TTC1993 thanks for your advice!

itssquidstella · 24/10/2019 10:36

@toomuchteaandcake fingers crossed that AF doesn't show up for you!

LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 11:38

Ok, I think IΒ΄m getting crazy. Just to check, I have done one of the cheap tests (One step) and a line appeared, I did two more just in case and the lines are there. I have done a FRER with the same urine and nothing... I donΒ΄t know if you can see something in the picture, my phone camera is rubbish, but definitely itΒ΄s there in real life.

7DPO anybody else want to wait with me?
TTC1993 · 24/10/2019 12:22

@LunaLlena I can see something ... how many dpo are you 🀭❀️

OP posts:
LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 12:38

@TTC1993 13/14 dpo. I think the tests must be faulty because the frers are not showing anything. This picture now shows there is something there, so IΒ΄m not crazy but still frer should have picked up something

7DPO anybody else want to wait with me?
TTC1993 · 24/10/2019 12:55

@LunaLlena no dolly your not crazy I can see it, but i do see from reading other threads that if you get pee on the sticks at the part where you should't the indent line can become apparent which is so shitty!!

i am honestly not experienced enough to advise you on the hole frer i just see from other threads they seem to pick up pregnancy quite quickly so if your 14dpo it should be picking up by now but on the flip side other threads have shown people don't get positive results until days after AF Is due πŸ₯΄ xx

LunaLlena · 24/10/2019 13:10

@TTC1993 Thanks for your honest opinion Smile I went OTT when I saw those lines even knowing deep inside me that IΒ΄ve seen lot of threads saying these tests give false positives. I even created a new thread looking for answers Confused. IΒ΄m more calmer know hehehe What will be, will be, and only time will say

toomuchteaandcake · 25/10/2019 06:29

Morning all, 14dpo today and still no dip in temps. My left pelvic cramps now seem to have moved to the centre. One more day to get through and if I do I will test tori @ cd 32!

itssquidstella · 25/10/2019 10:45

@toomuchteaandcake how are you feeling? I'm 13dpo and have the backache that usually presages AF's arrival, but no stomach cramps or fullness.

I'm a bit all over the place because my cycles were always 28 days but the last two were much shorter, with a luteal phase of 10 and then 9 days, so I've forgotten what it feels like to have such a long wait. I had two periods in September!

toomuchteaandcake · 25/10/2019 11:18

@itssquidstella we are in such similar positions! My last cycle was 22 days which is unheard of for me, so I wouldn't be surprised if this cycle is just messed up. The longest cycle I ever had was 31 days which is what I've reached today.

What's giving me hope is my temps which peaked today, and a fullness/tension feeling in my pelvis and ovary pain on both sides which is def not normal. Normally I get a sharp pain in my lower back for an hour or so and then AF appears. That hasn't happened yet but every time I have a back twinge I panic!

I feel like I have to keep realistic because AF could def still arrive. It'll be a mean trick if she does as this week has been torture waiting.

Are you still planning to test tomorrow? I need to go out and buy one I think, scared to tempt fate...

itssquidstella · 25/10/2019 11:36

@toomuchteaandcake I'm not temping so no idea where I stand there! Might give it a go next cycle if AF does show up in the next couple of days.

I'll test tomorrow if AF hasn't made an appearance, but I'm not feeling as optimistic now. At 8/9dpo I was so convinced I was pregnant but I'm losing faith by the minute!

toomuchteaandcake · 25/10/2019 15:05

@itssquidstella I know the odds are stacked against it but can't help that wee glimmer of hope. Roll on bedtime tonight to se what tomorrow brings, got my FRER in my bag!

BezalHell · 25/10/2019 15:14

My AF is due today, but not a whisper yet! I usually spot for a few days before, but nothing this month. I've been nauseous for the past week or so. REALLY hoping this is a good sign.

itssquidstella · 25/10/2019 15:39

Good luck @toomuchteaandcake! Let me know how you get on tomorrow :)

toomuchteaandcake · 25/10/2019 16:48

@itssquidstella you too!

toomuchteaandcake · 25/10/2019 16:49

@BezalHell same! Well my apps say a few days ago but I say today. Testing in the morning, the doubts are creeping in already

mellymoo86 · 25/10/2019 22:55

Hi Everyone! Hope you don't mind me joining. I am currently on my first TTC journey. I am on 10 DPO (ovulated in the 15th and 16th Oct) and normally have 28 day cycles. Should be starting my period on the 29th or 30th Oct. Ive not been having any cramping or swollen boobs. Finding it hard to see true symptoms as I've had dizziness/constipation/bloating/back pain/fatigue and headaches but I have this on and off anyways. So could just be normal for me. I did a test today and nothing so far. It's my first month trying so learning as I go. οΏΌ
