@CC81 that line was so clear!! Has the next test not came up with a line at all?

@Loladoodle - Thanks for your reply!

There was a vague shadow on the second one, but not sure if I'm kidding myself! I'm worried that even if it's positive, it can't be a very strong one (as the line was so faint).

Argh @CC81 that was a definite line. If maybe hold off and test again tomorrow. Do you have a frer?
I’ve had a false positive on an ic before so I’m always so wary!! Really hope you get another line tomorrow!!!!! 😬🤞

That looks more than a shadow to me! I think you need to get a frer ASAP!!! Eeek!

@CC81 that is a definite line and has colour to it. My first test was on one of the cheapies it was 9dpo and was such a shadow it was barely there but when I did a frer a couple of days later it was really dark. They just aren't as sensitive but I would say yours is looking good!

Squeeee!! @CC81 that's a line!!!xx

Happy Halloween ladies! 🎃🧛🏻‍♂️🧙‍♀️🧟‍♀️

Welcome to the newbies! I'm 36 and TTC #1. 😘 This is cycle #6 for me too.

Currently 12 dpo and really really really hoping the witch doesn't appear!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Booo to those with AF! Hope you have plenty of choc/wine/gin in! 😘

@CC81 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 keep us posted!!!!

Thanks all - do you think if I do a FRER later today, it'd be accurate?

If it's negative, I'd like to know ASAP so I don't start getting hopeful.

I'm cautious because it feels like AF is about to start - mild cramping etc. And feeling a bit yukky. I've felt it a few times this week.

It might be a CP that's fading away, maybe. I've never had one before, so don't know what happens! I'm about 14 DPO.

@CC81 yes a frer would definitely be accurate today. Do you have one? Mild cramping and feeling yucky are signs of pregnancy as well.

@CC81 I’m so hopeful for you 🤞 def a frer would show a result today!

@lucieloos how are you keeping? All going well?

Lack of knowledge reading its head again... can you remind me the difference between the cheap HCG tests and FRERs??? 🙈

*rearing

Holy sh*t.

I daren't get excited, as there may be quality issues or abnormalities (I'm at high risk of that, due to very low egg supply). Lots of hurdles to get through yet.

But if nothing else, it shows my eggs are still fertilisable...

@CC81 congratulations! That’s awesome. I know it’s early days but so pleased for you x

Hi all, I’ve been following this chat since thread 2. I’ve never been brave enough to post but I’m so excited for @CC81 that I couldn’t help myself!!
Massive congratulations you’ve made me smile and given me hope this evening. I hope this is a sticky one for you 😊
I’m 40yrs old trying to conceive #3 since January 2020 with current partner. I’m blessed with 2 DC (15&11) from a previous relationship.
Have been taking Pregnacare Conception and Vitex as I felt that my hormones were out of whack but I’ve had no luck so far. Cycle is always regular 24-26 days. Just hoping I haven’t left too late!

Thank you. Now I have a different reason to cancel Tuesday's tubes test (for the moment, at least).

I guess this means at least one of the tubes must be okay?

@CC81 yaaaasssssss 😍😍😍😍😍😍 so delighted for you!!! I hope all progresses ok!!! 😘😘😘 please keep us updated!!!

And thanks @Tammy80 too - that's lovely of you I'm 39, so not too far away in age.

I'm just really shocked! Even if it goes nowhere, it's a step further than where we've been.

And @M4v3r1ck

I just daren't expect too much! I know that problems are so common (especially with my age and low egg supply).

If only there was some kind of early quality test...!

Congratulations @CC81 that is fantastic news!!!!

@CC81 yay!!!!! Fab news! Hope all goes well 🙏

Omg @CC81 that is the most amazing news!!! I’m so excited for you!! Hope it all goes well!! Keep us posted!

@CC81 that's great news! Congratulations I'm so pleased for you!

@Loladoodle I'm good thanks, very nauseous constantly but can't complain. Have an early scan booked for a week Monday!

Congratulations @CC81, that’s brilliant! Fingers crossed it sticks for you!
