Praying for a Christmas rainbow baby 🌈

Hi everyone
This month I’ve felt almost adamant we had been successful in conceiving our rainbow baby. I’ve had some cramping, groin pains when I stood up last week, excessive tiredness but the main thing is heavy, tender/bruised like boobs. Oh my god the pain! I’ve basically lived and slept in a sports bra and my nipples are burning/throbbing.
I’m not due af until the 27th but decided to do a frer this morning hoping for a Christmas miracle but it was negative 😭 Surely there should be a hint of a line by 12dpo on such a sensitive test?

@Enp2019 hoping for my rainbow baby too. AF is due 30th, so I'm trying hard to wait it out until AF is late before using a FRER. Dont be too hard on yourself

I am 18dpo today and af is 4 days late this is what my tests looked like! Been to my gp today and he confirmed they were BFPs and told me to retest in a week to see if the line changes if it's still the same or darker in a weeks time contact the midwife! Don't give up yet your not out until af shows up!

@Enp2019 thank you! I don't believe it yet my DH is so happy and I'm scared incase the line isn't there in a week! So happy though it's very hard to keep positive I had taken the one step test just by chance I didn't think anything was going to show I was 100% sure I was out this month some peoples hcg doesn't rise until 3 weeks pregnant some times more which I didn't know I thought as soon as you conceived it started but it can take up to 3 weeks! Don't loose hope yet!

Hello I am in the same situation. I am due af on the 29th. I tested today and it was negative but am also praying it's too early to be testing. We lost our first baby at 10 weeks in November. In two minds whether to test again tomorrow or try and hold out longer. ❤️❤️

If you are certain on your ovulation dates then yes FRER would show something by now x

Enp2019 · 24/12/2019 18:39

Awww @NicoleR14 I’m sure it will still be there, try not to worry!

Awww I’m sorry for your loss @Peach7744, we found out at our 12 week scan that our lil bub hadn’t made it past 8 weeks 😔

I thought so @itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted, hard not to clutch at straws when you’re so desperate for something!
