Blimey @Locket211 you poor thing that sounds awful!

@Mrschips07 I’m ordering tests tonight and will hopefully get them tomorrow or Tuesday which is when AF is due!

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 07:41

@shouldbedancingyeah Good luck when you test! Let us know how you get on won't you?!

I've ordered some tests with my Tesco shop 😂 not sure how good they'll be as only cheapies but we'll see. Feeling a bit AF like today, quite bloated and crampy.

@Locket211 omg that's horrible! Bless you! I hope
You're doing okay I could imagine that's so painful! :(

@Mrschips07 good luck with your testing!! I so hope that it's your time 🤞🏼 🧡
I've had period like cramping for days but only had the end of my chemical pregnancy about 2 weeks ago! :/

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 09:56

I ordered these crappy freedom tests with my Tesco shop. I got one negative and one positive 😩

@Mrschips07 with the same wee? Or were they taken at different times?

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 10:14

@LT103 they were the same wee! I took the negative one first, then I thought I'd dip the other just to double check 🙈 I'm thinking this doesn't mean anything tho... As surely both would be positive if it was true.

Ok so cycle 4, cd 1 😢

Got my progesterone levels back which Co we’re fine tho so it’s just a case of keeping trying

LT103 · 03/08/2020 10:18

@Mrschips07 that’s odd. The positive one looks a little bit flooded though so maybe that’s why? Hope it’s a good sign tho

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 10:35

@LT103 sorry to hear that AF came. It's really good that your progesterone levels are all ok tho. Keep positive! New cycle is a new chance.

I took that photo after 5 mins and the test did look flooded I agree. I'll take another now it's 10 mins later...

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 10:38

Sorry the focusing is so bad!

I took a third test, that looks like it has a faint line on... God I have no idea this is so inconclusive!

Oooo @Mrschips07 not to get your hopes up but it’s really unusual to get a false positive! I’d buy a frer to check

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 10:42

@Shouldbedancingyeah I'm waiting for a cheque to clear but should go in at 4 this afternoon, so I'll go and buy one then.

Sorry guys one more pic for you. I think I can see lines on all of these.

@Mrschips07 I’m so excited for your update! Got my fingers crossed that this is your time!

LT103 · 03/08/2020 11:08

@Mrschips07 I’m loving the four tests in a row. I thought only I did things like that 😁. I can def see a faint line on all of them. Fingers crossed for you. Would def get a frer so you can get a more accurate result. Or maybe wait and use an frer tomorrow. Hoping it’s good!

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:24

Fingers crawled for you @Mrschips07 !!!
My FRER tests just arrived courtesy of Amazon! So tempted to do one now!
I'm currently in a ClearBlue study so have to collect my fmu everyday, it's been in the fridge (fully sealed don't worry Grin) since this morning so worried it may not provide a true test, which means waiting till tomorrow.
Suspense is killing me!

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:25

Crossed* sorry!

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 11:31

Oh weird, I applied for that study also @NoodleKT can't remember why I didn't get in.

I think if it were me I'd be tempted to do it with today's, but then I am ridiculously impatient.

Thanks for all of your responses to my testing, really appreciate it! I'm not getting excited, but will test with a frer maybe tonight maybe tomorrow morning.

OP posts:
NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:34

@Mrschips07 really? They asked so many odd questions! I'm so tempted, I can honestly say this is the first time the fridge has been calling me because there's fmu in there haha

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 11:36

@NoodleKT do ittt! Haha I'm certainly not the voice of reason so don't listen to me.

Will the being cold in the fridge impact the result do you think tho?

OP posts:
NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:38

@Mrschips07 I've done some reading (thanks to Dr Google) and it's mixed. Some stuff says HcG starts to break down once it leaves your body, some days it's ok in the fridge.

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 11:52

Argh! Was just about to test it and I remembered they put sodium azide in the collection pots! Will have to wait till morning.
I'm far too impatient for this haha

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 12:05

@NoodleKT oh no! You can always try a 4-5 hour hold and test in the afternoon, tbh you are probably better off waiting til tomorrow morning tho, as frers are so expensive you don't want to waste one!

OP posts:
NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 12:08

I'm peeing so often I don't think I could wait that long! Haha
They weren't as bad as I was expecting, think they were just under £8 on Amazon with Prime delivery for a pack of two. Cheaper than the Clearblues! I have one ClearBlue digital (not weeks counter) left from what the study sent me but as you guys have said they aren't as sensitive as others I'm going to hold off on that one!

NoodleKT · 03/08/2020 13:40

I caved again!
Did a test, def no line!
I dunno for it's because I'm not pregnant or if it's because it isn't fmu, period isn't due till weds (not Tuesday like I thought!) and I'm peeing at least hourly 😂

I'm a little crushed

Mrschips07 · 03/08/2020 13:49

@NoodleKT Ah sorry to hear it was negative. Did you use a frer? How many dpo? You aren't out yet!
