@CardioQueen just so you know where we are

Here we go ladies! The last thread was a lucky one so let's keep up the success on this one!

Ahhh amazing, look at that @jessi60 ☺️ so reassuring for you. Do you mind me asking how the internal scan felt like? Did it hurt? (I'm a huge wuss!!)

@PowerOfFlowers I know that wasn't directed at me but I had to have a transvaginal ultrasound for some investigations about a year ago and was super nervous about it but it was absolutely fine, I didn't find it painful at all, infact found it less uncomfortable than a smear test! I'm assuming it's the same kind of ultrasound that they'd use for early pregnancy scans so having that experience has made me feel less nervous about having one now if I need to!

Thanks girls! @PowerOfFlowers honestly was fine. It only goes in a little bit was quite surprised to be honest. Bit like having a tampon put in.
Not as invasive as smear! Xx

Thanks @Bells20 and @jessi60 ☺️ Never had one before and I always panic when I have a smear!

Aww @jessi60 it's nice even just to see a scan pic and I'm sure reassuring to have a bit of a time scale now :)

@Dex1521 oh I'm exactly the same with the willpower! I've only 1 pg test in my possession which is a CB digital, I won't want to waste it so hopefully won't be tempted to test when the time comes! Knowing me I'll be straight on amazon prime ordering frers 1dpo 🙈 but like everyone has said 9dpo is super early so don't lose hope 🙏🤞

@GreenApplesYo wow your 12 week scan has come round so quickly lol how exciting! Lovely way to kick off the new year :)

@Emmgrem symptoms sounding good🤞 you really can drive yourself mad symptom spotting. That's one good thing about the 2 weeks outside the TWW!

Hope everyone doing ok today! Xx

Been awake since 4am again last night and had such a blocked nose but also running like a tap so that’s been...fun. Took another test this morning (you all know I wasn’t not going too 😂) and I think I can see something but I feel that having to squint and edit the picture would make it a BFN so don’t feel too excited but I’ve attached the pictures for you to see (2nd one I played with filters). Really thought this month was going to be it but I dunno anymore 😕

@Dex1521 hmm I can definitely see something there. In the first pic too. Vvv faint, wouldn't want to call it either way.

My 'bfp' was an absolute squinter as well which I had to edit to make visible in the photo. However at this stage it could also be an indent or an evap so difficult to say?

Do you have more FRERs? If you have enough you could try again this evening after a 3hr hold? But if you have a limited supply maybe just another test tomorrow morning?

@Dex1521 is the second one edited? I think I can just about see something in that one but not the first. It's still early though, you could have implanted a bit later and hcg isn't high enough yet it's definitely still quite early! If it was a squinter today you should be able to see something a little stronger tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry @Dex1521 just read your message properly. I so so want this to be your BFP, I think @GreenApplesYo's suggestion is a good one, if you've got an abundance of tests maybe try again tonight but if not defo tomorrow morning. Maybe this is the universe not wanting you to have your Christmas present too early 😬

@GreenApplesYo that’s what I’m thinking - evap or indent so not going to say anything to OH as he struggled to notice a line on a OPK most the time 😂 I’ve got a few more so I’ll see I’ll maybe test again tonight after 3hrs. It’s reassuring to know you had to edit your first BFP too lol but I’m definitely more convinced mine is just an indent as I’ve heard FRER are common for that

@Bells20 yep second one I played around with the filters. Will keep testing until Day of AF is due and then just wait and see.

Dunno if this is weird or my mind playing tricks on me but I feel pregnant I have for the past few days but I dunno if that’s because I’m holding out for a BFP and it’s getting to my head. And I think with my temps still staying up it’s giving me hope

@Bells20 I hope so! Really hope Santa brings me two pink lines tonight that’s all I really want 🤣

Was reading another forum about using FMU and so many people have mixed opinions on it so I have enough tests to do one tonight again after holding. Was thinking holding from 2pm and test at 5pm? As we are having our Christmas Eve tea around 7/8pm so will want to have a drink with it not sure if it will be water or wine yet 😂

@Dex1521 I can deffo see a line on the second test for sure!

I’m not too sure what DPO day i was before I got my positives but I had done 3 tests in the run up that were completely blank before @DrS44 asked me on here if I tested again and I just thought hmm I’ve got one left may aswell get it out the way 😂 and there it was haha xx

@jessi60 that’s true I’m just praying AF stays away and I’m much a late show-er 🤣. Today I’ve also had some much wet CM (sorry for the tmi) I’ve been having it the past few days anyways but today I can feel it and had to put a panty liner in as I keep thinking it’s AF and having to check constantly 😂

@jessi60 ahhh I'm glad your scan went well and they can see the yolk sack!

@Bells20 you're giving me hope with the CM change thing

@Dex1521 I've also read a lot about FRERs and indent lines as apparently if you shine a torch through the back you can see both lines?
I knew you'd test today you complete addict 🤣
This is what I'm scared of Xmas morning- getting a result I'm not sure of and then not sure whether to do my CB digital or tell DH or drink 😣
But I know what you mean about feeling pregnant. Surely you don't get pms symptoms for the whole TWW before AF!? I had convinced myself it must be pregnancy last night after pain one side, sore nipples still and feeling too queasy to eat my fav tub of ice cream.

However temp has dropped right back to cover line and that's the second drop so does that mean I'm out or could it go back up?
I'm so annoyed I took the temp three times. Though DH had woken up early and moved me to the other side of the bed etc and disturbed my sleep, plus I took it 45 mins later than usual so I don't know how much that would've affected it.. grrrr

@Dex1521 I can deffo see something on both pics! Albeit squinters, but better than stark white 🤷‍♀️
🤞🤞so hoping this is your bfp!! Xx

@Emmgrem you know me well now 🤣 yeah I’ve heard that too so made a point of not shining a light through the bottom. That’s why I keep testing I think as I don’t know whether to tell OH or to drink tonight/tomorrow so that’s why I’m gonna hold it and test again at 5 and if it’s another squinter like above just gonna have a few drinks but no go wild lol. Hopefully your temp goes back up as mine has been up and down after ovulation

@Foxl2222 yeah my two tests yesterday and at 8dpo were stark white whereas I felt this one was slightly different. We will have to wait and see 🥰😂

Does anyone have the link to the countdown to pregnancy page where it shows dpo and how likely you are to get a positive results at certain times of day. I’ve seen it before but can’t find it anywhere on google

@Dex1521 www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

Oh sorry @Dex1521 misread your message, I haven't seen one about time of day I dont think, only the dpo one

Ooh @Dex1521 I can definitely see a line in that second picture I don't even have to squint! How many dpo's are you? I held out until 12dpo for mine, but that was more because I didn't have the urge to test and I didn't think I was pregnant 😂
🤞🏻 it becomes clearer for you in the next few days!!

@PowerOfFlowers ah that’s so good! I’m glad others can see it too and it’s not my eyes lol I’m 10dpo today was hoping for a BFP today as I wanted to wrap it up and give it to my OH as an Xmas Eve present as my parents are coming over tomorrow and don’t want to tell him if they’re there. Will retest this afternoon/evening and see

I have FRER and clear blue (6days before missed period) which should I do tonight? I was thinking FREE again tonight as clesrblue says to use FMU and wouldn’t want a negative and think I’ve wasted it 😅. Did everyone here use FRER?

@Dex1521 Yeah I used a first response but it wasn’t the early one. But when I got my BFP I was late. Did do some tests early but they weren’t the early ones. Maybe do one tonight and then one in the morning? 😂😂 fully encouraging you here haha xx

Oh @jessi60 I really don’t need the encouragement 😂 think I’ll use the FRER tonight and a clear blue with FMU tomorrow morning 😇😂

@Dex1521 I actually got a line on one of the easy at home cheap one first. I wasn't expecting it to be positive so didn't want to waste an FRER, but as soon as I saw a squinter come up I used an FRER with the same urine and got my BFP (well it was still a squinter but still counts 😂).

Just full on started crying because I came into the living room after sorting turkey out and OH watching cars 3 and the girl car beat the bully boy car in a race and I felt so proud of her 😂

Getting so emotional over such pointless things today lol
