@Annannanna used a FRER

CarlyAM · 19/12/2020 13:56

Got my BFP today with a FRER :) I’m 10 DPO and was due AF on 24th, so it’s still super early days. Going to take another in a couple of days just to make sure that line gets nice and dark. I also took another CB opk after the cheapie this morning, and that came up with a static face. So, turns out the opks were right!

Congratulations!!!! That’s amazing and so clear for 10dpo!!!

KerryW87 · 19/12/2020 14:19

@CarlyAM Aww how lovely! Congratulations! 💕💕

MariaA11 · 19/12/2020 14:20

@CarlyAM congratulations!!!!! 💕💕💕

KerryW87 · 19/12/2020 14:22

@CarlyAM Feel free to send on any inside info of anything you did differently this month 😂 Lovely news for Christmas 💕

CarlyAM · 19/12/2020 14:31

@Ralala @MariaA11 thank you ladies! 🥰

@KerryW87 literally just used the Clearblue digital ovulation test (the purple one) Once we knew when I ovulated it made everything a lot easier!

Fingers crossed for a load more BFPs before Xmas!

Annannanna · 19/12/2020 15:46

@CarlyAM wow congratulations!!! Lovely Christmas surprise 😁

@Wombat84 perhaps you might get a late Bfp? Any sign of AF arriving?

Wombat84 · 19/12/2020 16:05

@Annannanna No signs at all still. Felt really sick again this afternoon. Not normal for me.

I usually go up a size in leggings before af. Up to a week before. I'm a bit bloated but still in normal size stuff.

Usually have cramps for a week before. Had nothing at all.

My temp was 37.01 this morning x

IndigoJam · 19/12/2020 17:00

@CarlyAM congratulations. I'm still trying to hang on till 12dpo but I just got a delivery of frer so I'll see if I can hold on 2 more days haha

justwanttobemum · 19/12/2020 17:44

@CarlyAM congrats!! I think I'm similar to you, about 10dpo due af on Xmas eve. I don't have any pregnancy tests in the house but I do have opks lol. Do you need to use FMU when using opks to test pregnancy?

MariaA11 · 19/12/2020 17:57

@CarlyAM I ordered some ovulation tests but the pink ones. Never used them before I’ve just kinda guessed when I ovulated.

CarlyAM · 19/12/2020 18:16

@Annannanna thank you! Very excited :)

@IndigoJam you have so much more will power than me! Have everything crossed for you.

@justwanttobemum I think they suggest FMU, but today I tested in the afternoon as it wasn’t really LH I was looking for

Hey I had an ectopic in October and couple days ago I got a bfp. Worried about any slight twinges etc. Having my scan on Monday if they can see anything yet that is. All the best to you all it's very stressful TTC I guess I'm just lucky it happened so quickly after ectopic, but I hope this time it sticks and is all OK x

Charlab · 19/12/2020 21:52

Hi all, I hope you are well and managing ok after Boris' announcement today! I have been following this post as I have been in the TWW myself and could not resist testing any longer (AF due 21/22). I took a FRER this evening and am over the moon to see two lines! I am waiting to tell my fiancé on Christmas Day but wanted to share the news with someone - and to spread baby dust to you all Star

CarlyAM · 19/12/2020 21:57

@Charlab congratulations!! Those are some lovely looking lines :) Enjoy the reveal on the big day, so nice to have such good news after Boris’ Christmas cancellation

@dano99 thank you 😊

Annannanna · 19/12/2020 22:13

@Charlab congratulations!!!

Do you have anything special planned to reveal to your husband? Xx

Nellieee · 19/12/2020 22:19

Hi ladies. Thought I would join in as just started my first TWW. Currently 3dpo and trying to avoid symptom spotting...😬 also considering when to test. My pre-pill cycles averaged 26 days but varied between 25-32ish days, so no real idea when to test. Toying with the idea of Christmas Day 🤷‍♀️

Ps lovely to see a BFP as one of the first messages I read. Congratulations!! ✨

Nellieee · 19/12/2020 22:19

Sorry, didn't tag @Charlab

Charlab · 19/12/2020 22:23

@CarlyAM thank you so much, and congratulations to you too!

@Annannanna thank you! I took a chance and ordered a personalised baby grow with our surname and plan to put it in a gift box with the positive test. Thinking we will do other presents first and then I'll 'remember' there's one more present.. also hoping I can sneakily film his reaction somehow!

@Nellieee thank you! Wishing you lots of luck.

Finalbaby3 · 19/12/2020 23:18

Awwwww congratulations @Charlab such a beautiful idea!!!! I'm so going I can do the same! Af due Xmas Eve now according to app predictions but I just feel strange and feel like af should be here now with the cramps I'm having. Hope you can let us know is reaction! X

HelgaK · 20/12/2020 01:04

@Charlab @CarlyAM congratulations!! ❤️

KerryW87 · 20/12/2020 10:21

@Charlab Congratulations to you! This is quite a happy wee thread now! 💕

I'll be 10DPO on Christmas Eve so might test then. It'd be the absolute silver lining to a decidedly crap month so fingers crossed, haha...although been having cramps since 4DPO which is typical for me most cycles so trying to stay realistic.

Hope everyone is ok after the new announcement ❤️ xx

dano99 · 20/12/2020 15:29

[quote CarlyAM]@dano99 Don’t be disheartened, I’ve seen SO many threads where people say theirs was low and firm but got BFPs! Just goes to show unless you’re testing it the same time each day, and are super in-tune with your normal, it’s just not a good indicator. Apparently it can also change throughout the day Confused as if things weren’t hard enough![/quote]
So today's was very different... It's so high and can nearly find it! Like a little button, trying so hard not to get my hopes up but I feels so positive!! Holding off testing Until Tuesday morning xx
