So looking at my app I am due to take a HPT mid January. Would anyone like to join me?

Yes @Liam2018 I see a really faint line! Did it show in the 3 minutes? Fingers crossed for you! Test again tomorrow or next day be better (if you can wait😋)? My test this afternoon was negative but I'm not surprised - can you believe I went into town specifically for FRERS. I bought two packs (so 4 test) and they're the bloody rapid response ones so they aren't as sensitive as the normal Frers. I'm gutted! I did one anyway but didn't expect it to pick anything up. I might have to just wait a week now. See how long this very light bleeding goes on for and then test again. X

Sorry that message Belford was meant to tag @Elly88 !!

[Ellabella234]

Oh my gosh 😂 below ** SORRY

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 can you really?! I do feel like it could be my month but I know it was stupid to test so early as still no way of telling until later 😂 yes feel like the shadow lines gone now but I could see it just between 3-5 mins. I'm a bit like you I'm not convinced fmu is strongest for me. Don't know whether to try again tomoro as I only have one more frer. And then cheapie ones and a digi for later.

@Ellabella234 how annoying they're not the right ones! I can never find any shops that sell them, have to order off amazon :/ can you get any on prime delivery?

Hi new here! Hope you don’t mind me joining in the thread
I’m 27 and husband is 29, been together 9 years, we got married in October 2019 and have been TTC since. I never thought TTC would take over my life as much as it has, it’s literally all I think about every waking moment!
Currently 7DPO, my cycles haven’t been completely regular after coming off the pill in September so AF is due at some point next week. My best friend started TTC last month and caught straight away which kind of stressed me out even more.
I’ve been a serial symptom spotter although every month I tell myself not to be, it’s just so difficult!
Anyway, yesterday and today I’ve had noticeable cramps and I’m hoping this could be due to implantation. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but fingers crossed. Will try and wait til at least Sunday before testing!

@Elly88 yes I can see a very faint line! Did you end up deciding to take your other frer today ? I am still bleeding but it is SO light it's barely anything, but it is red. Some brown. I'm a bit confused. I have no early response ones left so the ones I do have wouldn't pick the hcg up yet as I don't think period would be due quite yet. 41/42 days is most usual length, I'm CD37 now. But maybe this is just my period? It's a lot different to usual though 😕 Periods are always 6 days long too. This has only been 1.5-2 days ish and isn't consistent flow so I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️ hope you're all well 🙂

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 no I saved the frer and used a cheapie but didn't show anything as too early. So dampened my spirits a little - see this is why we shouldn't test early 🙈 currently sat in hairdressers with a teeny tiny newborn and omg my uterus 😭
Sorry its so confusing for you must be really frustrating. Well just have to wait it out and keep testing every few days! X

[Ellabella234]

I just did a frer and there's a faint pink line again. So confused! I'm starting to believe this isn't my period...
Yes testing this early probably isn't the best 🤦🏻‍♀️ oh the uterus pangs!!! X

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 oh well that's promising that it's back!! Surely if it was a chemical like you feared it would still be fading not then getting stronger? But I'm no expert.
Were the tests that it was fainter on frer too or a different brand? I thought this would be my month but now I'm having doubts, no reason! I hate the not knowing, and still over a week to go 😭

[Ellabella234]

FRER with afternoon wee. This mornings test was with a FR rapid response and it's from the day of your period so I don't think it picked it up. This test is the strongest line I've had I don't even need to look very hard at it to see.
Don't lose faith @Elly88 we are so early! Do a test tomorrow or the next day, maybe with afternoon wee if you think that's best like me and fingers crossed ❤️ don't know what's going on with me yet... I think light bleeding has come to a halt!

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 oh yeh I'd take those as bfp!!!! Hopefully you're bleeding has stopped for good and the line keeps getting darker 😁 let us know!
Yh I dunno if tomoro still too early to test tho. I can feel myself ordering more frer 😂🙄

[Elly88]

Now noticed lots of creamy cm, heavy boobs and increased sense of smell. Praying its my month 🙏🏻 anyone else got more symptoms yet?

[Ellabella234]

@Elly88 nauseas this afternoon and evening bleh! Just feel yuck and sicky! How are you? How's everyone doing? X

[Elly88]

Still much the same as 2 days ago but only 7dpo according to app. Thought something came up in the first minute but then seemed to fade and almost disappear after another minute? Need to stop poas 🚫

[Ellabella234]

@Elly88 Yeah it may still be early but I would think about trying with arvo wee like I am. I've not used my last frer this morning Cos I'm going to do it later instead. Think it's better for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ although I should probably wait til tomoro again anyway but I'm not going to 🤔 haha x

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 thank you, i don't have any more frera so will just have to be patient! I did get a load of dip cheapie to keep me going tho haha so might try those in the afternoons as you say. Post a pic of your frer! Those last lines looked good though 😍

[Ellabella234]

@Elly88 i just gave in and did my frer! Probably should've waited and held my wee in a bit longer.. there's a line it's not darker than yesterday's though. Maybe Cos it only doubles every 48hrs? I don't know..hmm x

[Ellabella234]

Trying to get a good photo! It gets darker as time goes on too . This was about 5 minutes. I can't tell if it's darker than yesterday's or not. I'm going to have to buy more Frers now😂

[Elly88]

@Ellabella234 yep defo a line! 😁 Yeh it's 48 hours isn't it. Waiting sucks!!! I have a friend who is also trying and she is due on today and hasn't even tested, she's so laid back I don't know how she does it I'm in awe! Lol

[myttcjourney]

@Ellabella234 there is definitely a line!!!!! CONGRATS! Amazing news 🙌🏼

@elly88 7dpo is so early average for implantation is 9DPO

I am 9DPO today but I'm not testing until I miss AF. I won't let myself turn into a crazy POAS loon 🤣 once I do one it's game over and I can't stop

[Elly88]

@myttcjourney thank you for reassurance :) I am said crazy poas loon 😂🙈
Gonna try to chill out at least until Monday 10dpo

[Ellabella234]

I am clearly also major POAS loon......

[Ellabella234]

And thank you @myttcjourney but I still need more definite confirmation than those lines...!!

[myttcjourney]

@elly88 @Ellabella234 looooolll

Trust me I am one too deep down, I tested from 7dpo for ages but I'm trying to keep myself a bit more sane this cycle 🤣😀
