FRER on 8DPO like an idiot!

I tested today (at only 8DPO) like an idiot because the TWW is driving me mad and seems to be dragging! I almost definitely knew it was going to be a BPN but did it anyway... whyyy!! Anyone else in the same boat? I ovulated on 31st Dec (confirmed by opk and Flo app) and have 1 more test at home which I'm trying to save until Saturday/Sunday.

I think I ovulated on 1st January! I thought I'd ovulated earlier in month due to my app telling me so however I had bad OV Pains on 1st so fingers crossed! I did a test this morning too! BFN x

Hello, I ovulated on 30th and took a test today at 9dpo. I feel like I can see a really faint line but could also be imagining it! It’s so hard to resist the urge to test isn’t it. Things will become clear over the next few days at least!

summershine2204 · 08/01/2020 18:24

I got a BFP at 11DPO with an internet cheapie so I did my FREE after that to confirm so you might not have to wait as long as you think!

I was doing Opk and bbt so I was 99.9% sure when I ovulated

Fingers crossed

kell2126 · 08/01/2020 18:25

I'm in the same boat! BFN today at 9dpo and AF due Tuesday. It's going to be a looong 6 days. @HarrietM87 have you got a pic? I love a good squinter!

HarrietM87 · 08/01/2020 18:34

Here you go - the light is quite bad - was in the work toilets!

FRER on 8DPO like an idiot!
HarrietM87 · 08/01/2020 18:36

I feel like you can see a shadow at the bottom of where the line should be. I’ve had insane excess saliva all day as well so starting to feel a little hopeful, though I’ve had recurrent miscarriages so even a bfp sadly doesn’t necessarily mean good news for me. I’m on treatment now which enabled me to have my son, but I had a mmc in September when I started the meds slightly late (unplanned pregnancy)

mrsrichy · 08/01/2020 18:55

So reassuring to know I'm not the only one!

@AnxiousAnnie86 ah we're very close in dates. I'm going to buy some cheap ones off amazon and see if I can see any progression. Good luck!

@harrietM87 I think I can see a very faint shadow. Do you have any more tests you can take?

@summershine2204 ahh thank you that's reassuring! Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

@kell2126 you're a day ahead of me! When are you planning on testing? I've been hooked to mumset reading people's experiences for the last couple of weeks haha!

Ha you're not alone! I did one too x

kell2126 · 08/01/2020 19:15

@HarrietM87 I see it! Exciting!!

@mrsrichy oh I'll be testing every day no doubt. Have a good stock of tests in the cupboard so may as well! Have had some promising symptoms this cycle but we've been ttc for over a year now so not getting hopes up. Have you been having symptoms?

kell2126 · 08/01/2020 19:17

@HarrietM87 so sorry for your losses Flowers hopefully this one's a sticky xx

mimmi91 · 08/01/2020 19:21

I'm also 8dpo today (I think)!!
Haven't tested yet as it's only my first cycle trying, but I have bought some cheapie ones on Amazon, which arrive tomorrow... So will test on first morning pee on Friday AM at 10dpo...

Has anyone had any symptoms? I'm symptom spotting like craaazy. I've had veryyy loose stools since dpo5, and yesterday I had a sharp pinching pain for about 30seconds on my left side abdomen (kind of like a sharp stitch), and today have felt very bloated and gassy all afternoon.
I also seem to have imagined a bit of a bile taste in the back of my throat (but no nausea), and slightly darker nipples (but no sensitivity really)....

WHYYY is the wait so hard!!!

Nat4392 · 08/01/2020 19:22

I ovulated on 1st Jan, the TWW is driving me mad. I’m trying to wait til at least this weekend before I test. We will see if I actually have the willpower to wait that long! I’ve had noticeable cramps the last 2 days which I hope is a good sign. Although I’m trying not to get ahead of myself as I’m a chronic symptom spotter!

LuckyWright · 08/01/2020 19:29

I'm 9DPO too! I am waiting till Saturday to take my Clear Blue early detection test as I will be 12DPO. Fingers crossed for us all x

mrsrichy · 08/01/2020 20:01

@kell2126 I had cramps when I ovulated on 31st Dec and EWCM but nothing since really. Trying to put it to the back of my mind and not get my hopes up! Had pretty stressful stuff going on at home (ceiling caving in due to a leak) so that's taking my mind off the urge to test every 10 mins! Have you noticed any symptoms yet?

So lovely to hear there are a few of us with similar dates :)

Hi can I jump in on this I tested today using FRER I ov'd on 29th/30th Dec making me 9/10 dpo I think I got 2 very faint lines what do you all think?

FRER on 8DPO like an idiot!
kell2126 · 08/01/2020 22:39

@mrsrichy omg your ceiling caved in?!? no one was hurt i hope! not in any shape or form a welcome distraction but at least it's keeping your mind off the 2ww! sorry for tmi but i had a very strong but fairly brief feeling on 6dpo like i either needed to run to the loo urgently (ifyswim Blush)or throw up. I've had it before around the same time in cycles where i've had a bfp (CPs unfortunately Sad) so am very slightly hopeful. But could have just been something i ate so who knows? Since then have been constipated and mild cramps but nothing to write home about.

@Kendrick12 I see it clearly on both! congrats to you! do you have another for tomorrow morning? FX that it's darker for you!

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 06:38

@Kendrick12 definite lines there - congratulations!

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 06:55

@Kendrick12 I can definitely see a faint line!!!!!! Yoohooo!!!

kell2126 · 09/01/2020 07:56

BFN for me this morning Sad

@HarrietM87 and @Kendrick12 how did you get on this morning? hopefully some nice progression :)

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 09:05

Definite bfn this morning! And I realised (like an idiot) that the line yesterday is probably the residue from the trigger as my ovulation was triggered this month. Still don’t think I’m out as have that weird extreme watery mouth, but feeling pretty disappointed as was really hoping for a line today.

kell2126 · 09/01/2020 09:57

@HarrietM87 ah OK well at least that explains it – I was getting vvvfls till 10dpo on my first IVF transfer (fresh, so triggered). Sorry for the disappointment but as you say you're def still in and the watery mouth thing sounds promising – I've read a few posts from women who were pregnant who had the same symptom, in one case to the extent she had to carry around a little cup to spit into!!!

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 10:40

I'm going to do my first HCG test tomorrow morning at dpo10... Anyone else with me?

Also feeling so depressed today! I'm so certain I'll only get BFN's over the next few days :(

Why is this TWW so hard ; it's unfair to us ladies... I'm pretty sure my husband has completely forgotten that we're TTC, and patiently waiting for me to ask for some BDing...

HarrietM87 · 09/01/2020 11:25

I’ll test again tomorrow at 11dpo but feeling really sad today too! Bfns suck. Don’t know why I put myself through it!

beaniesunrise · 09/01/2020 11:48

Hi guys can I join in -

I'm 8DPO today, 2nd cycle ttc #1. OV on 1st based on my app.

Been reading loads of these forums day/night since decided ttc so wanted to finally post and follow! Might test saturday(10dpo) or sunday (11dpo), was thinking of testing today hence on this thread, bought loads of internet cheapies and FRER/CB.. gosh the waiting is horrible and AF is due Thursday, makes it feel like years away.

Feeling crampy and fullness since 6dpo and thought had implantation spotting for an hour too. Kinda fatigued and tired today Hmm

mimmi91 · 09/01/2020 12:53

@beaniesunrise welcome! We all seem to be very close in our cycles :) At least when we all get our AF's next week we will be in it together lol...

My HCG tests have just been delivered... I will not test today, I will not test today, I will not test today...........
