The July Pact....

[Rotagilla]

Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@Rotagilla test, test, test 😉. I've had to stop myself testing again! Honestly I cannot be trusted when there are tests in the house.

I definitely don't feel pregnant now so am already trying to get into the mindset of what I will use this 'extra' month to do. Totally sucks though.

@rotagilla don't want to be a bad influence but test 😂

@Rotagilla It is hard when you know there are tests in the house. I have ordered some FRER to arrive at the end of the week but I do have some internet cheapies! I have a bit of cramping today too. This is the hardest part of the 2WW!

@Char2108 - Welcome to the group :)

@kirinm It is so hard isn't it. When are you planning on testing again? You, @Rotagilla and I are all due about the same time!

@Tigger1987 given that I've just pulled apart the two FRER and taken pictures of the faintest of lines that doesn't include any colour and is barely visible like a crazed person hoping to be pregnant even though I know they are renowned for evaps and invalid once the case is open - I suspect I'll test again tomorrow. I only have 2 tests left though and don't want to buy more just to see BFN.

If I do test tomorrow I think I might use SMU. I just sense that is when I personally get a better result.

Loving all the encouragement ❤️

Another BFN 🙄

11dpo .....I would have thought it would have shown up by now...

But cramping and backache has stopped...I don't feel pregnant and I don't feel like AF is coming.

The wait continues...

@Rotagilla sorry to hear that. But have you taken the test apart, photographed it in different lights, applied filters and inverted them? Or is that just me?

Which test are you using?

@kirinm that made me laugh so much!

@Rotagilla still time lovely x test again in a few days. At least the urge has gone now x

@Alew15 it is what I've spent most of my working day doing and now I'm going to be late for a deadline!

@kirinm you make me chuckle!
The things we do....although I was definitely like that last month 😂
No there was nothing, not even a bit of a squinter!
I'm using some super cheap ones from B and M because I don't want to waste the better ones 😂
So I'm hoping they are just really crap!

And @ALew15 you having a BFN 3 days before AF has me hoping its just too early.

Did manage to turn it from a tww into just one week of wondering though!

@rotagilla I love how "thou will not test until 12dpo" has gone out of the window 😂😂 still time yet!!

@whambam89 I know 😂. I managed to wait until the evening of 9dpo which is close ish. Better than last month where I started testing at 5dpo.

This is the extent of my work today. I know they don't mean anything so not getting excited but still there is a hint of a line.

Excuse the state of my laptop

@kirinm oooh I can see them! Fingers crossed they get darker!

I'd love to think they're lines but I think they're evaps. Everything I've read about FRER suggest they are very common. But it doesn't mean I won't still hope 🤞🏻

@Rotagilla Still time for your BFP. With DD I had no line whatsoever until 12dpo and that was an absolute squinter, I nearly missed it. 😊 DD is now two and thriving

@kirinm I can see a line! U know when you see someone post a pic and there's quite clearly no line and everyone is being nice... 😂 this isn't that. I can see it! Hoping it's not evap for you xx

@Rotagilla I use the cheapy B&M ones too! Purple cap? That's what I had my negative on and few days later it changed. Positive vibes 🤞🏻🙌🏻

@whambam89 I thought this was the no symptom spotting testing early thread too 😂 we are all weak! Lol

I'm 9dpo today and last night my boobs felt really uncomfortable, not sore as such but tender and I couldn't lie on my front or one one side with my arm.on top of them. And like I needed to wear a bra. They never normally feel like that before period so am hoping it's a good sign and I'm not going to be disappointed again.

It's my birthday today and his was Friday, I really hope we get a belated present 🤞

Happy birthday @claireb707 fingers crossed you get the birthday present you want and deserve 🥰

Thanks 😁@kirinm

@kirinm I can't speak for the quality of the tests but I see lines!! 🙏🏻

@claireb707 Happy Birthday to you!! Hoping you both get your belated birthday present. 😊💜

@leopardlover that is a great way of putting it! There is a line but who knows what that actually means yet?

@kirinm I see a line too 🤞🏻😁🤞🏻

@kirinm I see a line too 🤞🏻😁🤞🏻

@kirnm I opened up my FRER last month and immediately had a pink line - albeit faint. However sadly it was because I had opened it up. I never got another line and then AF showed up.

Have you tried a test without taking the casing off?

Here is the FRER I pulled apart and was so excited until I found out that FRERs are notorious for this. So upset
