Femometer cheapie : is this a BFP??

mimmi91 · 11/01/2020 10:40

So I'm sitting here alone (DH is away until next week-end) and freaking out a bit.

I saw this very faint line straight-away after the 3min... Please tell me I'm not crazy and it's definitely there?! Will go buy a FRER at the pharmacy today to test tomorrow morning, but can't help but wonder if these internet cheapies are actually reliable??? They're the Femometer brand....... (sensitive to 20mIU/ml)....

I'm 11dpo today, but haven't really had any symptoms!! (no sore boobs, no crazy cramping, no headaches, no nausea...) Except a cold and (sorry TMI...) very loose stools for the past week...

I did dream last night that I had a baby (coincidence?!), and my temperature was really high this morning (37.21 vs usual 37), but I do have a very nasty head cold...

I'm so confused, don't know what to think!! Help??

That looks like a bfp to me. Congratulations!! I’d get a FRER and with hold out using the loo for a few hours and do tonight or tomorrow. 😸

urbansloth · 11/01/2020 10:58

Definitely positive but if you want to confirm buy a FRER and wait for FMU tomorrow!! Congratulations!!!! 🍾

mimmi91 · 11/01/2020 11:33

Thanks for confirming hah! I hope I can get a hold of a FRER at my local pharmacy, as I don't live in the UK atm...
I'm so damn nervous!!!!

Lovely bfp x

Thanks for confirming yesterday girls!

My tests today (Lovia and IC) are very clearly a BFP... Grin So so so so so lucky for this to have happened on our first cycle trying.... I feel like I'm dreaming... But obviously anything can still happen at this stage... Still feeling nervous...

I've already posted the below in a different thread, but think it may help some of you who, like me, are serial googlers and try to understand everything there is to know about the TWW...

I didn't really have any major symptoms in my TWW until yesterday (11dpo). No nausea whatsoever, no frequent need to pee, no sore boobs, no headaches, no constipation (quite the contrary)... Although on 7dpo I did have a semi-painful twinge on my left-hand side (kind of like a pinching stitch under my ribs) - lasted no more than 1minute. Might have been implantation...

Only yesterday (11dpo) did I start getting a few light cramps and twinges, but could just as well have been AF pains. My nipples are also super sensitive, and pretty much constantly erect (even when I'm hot).

Also, my TWW has been very tumultuous. I was on holiday by the beach during ovulation. The next day I went quad biking on a VERY bumpy dirt track road. A few days later I had a horrendous night flight and hardly got any sleep. And a few days after that I went clubbing and danced the night away (didn't have alcohol though). I've also had a raging cold for the past 2 weeks, and have been caughing and sneezing until my ribs hurt. All this to say that I think you can pretty much lead a very normal life during the TWW... The only think I did was reduce my alcohol/coffee intake and had pineapple/pineapple juice every day (but this is probably just an old wives tale...)

I'm exactly the same as you! Got my bfp on a FRER yesterday and then on a femometer cheapie last night (11 dpo) congratulations!!!

mimmi91 · 02/01/2021 07:53

Congratulations @VNttc !!
Funny that you posted on this old thread of mine haha! I’m currently sitting here nursing my baby girl who was born 3 months ago 🤗

Hahaha how did I manage that?!

Congratulations though! Hoping it'll be me in a years time!

mimmi91 · 02/01/2021 08:11

@VNttc all my fingers and toes are crossed for you!
My BFP that I posted above on this thread ended up turning into a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby, so hoping that’s a nice success story for you ☺️☺️

I see a line. Didn't even have to squint. FRER should confirm. I have my fingerscrossed for you!

ChasingRainbow · 19/02/2021 12:15

@WrongendoftheSTIX thank you for looking. However I have only just realised that the stick is an LH stick, not HCG 😭😭
Feel like such a grade A idiot. With an unnecessary broken heart now too.
Hope anyone frantically looking up "false positives fermometer" see this and dont make same mistake as me

ChasingRainbow · 19/02/2021 12:21

Kind of annoyed that the fermometer app didnt pick up the fact it was an OPK instead of a HPT. I used their intelligent recognition feature using their own fermometer sticks. User error beware 🙈😞

WrongendoftheSTIX · 19/02/2021 12:51

Oh no! I'm sorry. Keeping everything crossed for you still

VNttc · 19/02/2021 13:01

Might still be a positive - hcg can give you a positive LH result as well. Keeping fingers crossed for you!

ChasingRainbow · 19/02/2021 14:00

@VNttc & @WrongendoftheSTIX thank you girls for your kind words.
Had a temp drop this morn so reckon AF on her way. Also apparently you can get a second surge of LH kust before AF so it was prob just that.The only reason I bothered to poas was because im getting my covid vaccine, I just wanted to be sure.

What a morning rollercoaster of emotions, OH and I have decided to treat ourselves to a great big takeaway and wine tonight to console ourselves! Cursing femometer right now (though it was absolutely my own fault!)

Baby dust to everyone ✨✨💕

Melds22 · 21/02/2021 20:56

Sorry to just on an old post and congrats on your BFP @mimmi91 but when did you start getting symptoms? I got my femometer BFP this morn and no sore boobs just slight left twinges. Was due my period last week and just presumed I dont have the usual sore boobs because I breastfed my daughter but fingers crossed!! Cant face another loss...x

Morgansbabies · 28/03/2022 12:27

Very confused as my tests have been very inconsistent. Today I took a fermometer pregnancy test and a one step ovulation test as I read sometimes ovulation tests can indicate pregnancy sometimes.. What do think? Oh btw I last had a spotting on and off on 1st - 3rd March 2022 no major clots so I think it was spotting but in February I did not have spotting or a period and January 2022 I had spotting on and off on 4th - 7th and I had some spotting on 29th - 31st Jan 2022. Now I am confused.. What do you think?
