Hello all and good luck to those TTC,

I'm 5 days before my period, so 6 days before a missed period, with a BFN on FRER. 10DPO.

When did you all get a BFP? And what sort of test? I've just bought a pack of 50 IC on Amazon because I'm going through so many FRER.

[quote LAgeDeRaisin]@discoballs88 very helpful! I needed some hope- been feeling down as I caved and have another BFN. Fingers crossed for tomorrow which will be 4 days before AF.
The ICs can't come quickly enough.

Were your cycles normally regular?[/quote]
Yep, like clockwork! This was the first time I'd tested early, normally pretty patient - only did it as I had been having a couple of little 'symptoms' that made me wonder. When I got the negative I shrugged it off - then when I tested again (when period was nearly a week late), got a clear positive in seconds. Xxx

@discoballs88 oh what a lovely surprise that must have been!

The line came up within the time frame so I’d be shocked if it was a vape line but I’ve ordered some first response they come Monday so surely if I am pregnant they should come up on the first response a couple of days after I had the faint positive

Tyxx · 09/01/2021 08:41

also it was a light period in December it was my normal period last 7 days ect

LAgeDeRaisin · 09/01/2021 08:44

Fingers crossed for you!! Are you going to retest or wait?

Tyxx · 09/01/2021 08:49

I only tested early due to the signs I’ve been getting! I expected a negative anyway due to it Been so early on. I took one to rule things out, I didn’t expect a positive.

Yeah I’m going wait until Monday then if that’s postive guessing I’m pregnant, if it’s negative I’ll juat wait for my period xx

Penguinmumma · 09/01/2021 08:57

I’m 3ish days away from af and no bfp yet but have tons of symptoms. Driving me insane as hoped I’d have gotten something by now. I’m not sure where I was in my cycle with my DD due to a mc but with the mc I got the box on the day at was due.

Wibblewobble99 · 09/01/2021 09:49

Following - ive got loads of symptoms which could be PMS but could be early pregnancy. Possibly I’m just being more sensitive because we’ve been trying for nearly a year now and I’m getting worried! I’ve done a few tests but all negative. Clutching at straws. AF due Sunday/Monday. Wish you all the best ladies xx

DueMay2021 · 09/01/2021 10:02

I got a positive on a cheapie at 9DPO but it was really faint and I did a FRER a couple of days later

Tyxx · 09/01/2021 10:27

Is it possible ovulate a couple of days after my period ends ?
I had unprotected sex on the 30th December, 2nd 5th and 7th of January.. if my test is positive I most likely ovulated end of December...
so many things are running through my head

SmidgenofaPigeon · 09/01/2021 10:35

I’m 11 or 12 DPO and have a few symptoms, just got a vvvvvvv faint live on two internet cheapies but a BFN on my Boots early response. Period due Monday so according to what they say on the box that ought to pick it up by now. However I’ve not had a sniff of a live on those cheapies before. We had a miscarriage the only other time I’ve been pregnant,a few months back, and I think I tested four days before AF due but was newly off the pill then so can’t be sure.

NigellasMicrowave · 09/01/2021 10:37

Nothing at 10 DPO, got a positive on the day my period was due.

Tyxx · 09/01/2021 13:36

I’ve just had a faint positive on first response
It’s not super faint as it’s clear to see

LAgeDeRaisin · 09/01/2021 14:56

@Tyxx congratulations!!!!!!

I'm waiting to test next week, hopefully if AF doesn't arrive on the 16th 🤞 the waiting game is real 😬 x

Amz6219 · 10/01/2021 13:56

@SmidgenofaPigeon this was my thoughts on boots on my Ovia app 😆 x

How many days before your period did you test positive?
SmidgenofaPigeon · 10/01/2021 14:01

Well...funny you should say actually because I have to agree- these were my tests this morning... and still a BFN on the Boots!!!

Wilko which I think are quite good, and the IC. I’m praying for a sticky bean this time around, early days though- think I am only 12DPO.

wildraisins · 10/01/2021 15:23

@LAgeDeRaisin Any updates - have you tested again?

I'm in a similar situation - currently 12DPO. Tested yesterday morning with a FRER and BFN. I've resisted testing today - AF is due on Tuesday so I trying to wait until then. I know it's not really sensible to test early but just can't help it!

I have had a larger quantity of CM this month than usual, and cramping at 10-11dpo, both of which are getting my hopes up!

I just keep second guessing everything and symptom spotting. I hate it - never thought it would take over my life like this!

Tyxx · 11/01/2021 07:56

These are my test this morning.. 6 days before period is due
I’m pretty sure they are positive x

allthingssparkly · 11/01/2021 08:25

@Tyxx they look positive to me, Congratulations! What made you test 6 days earlier than when your period was due? Have you been having symptoms? I'm due on 16th and trying so hard to wait it out to test Sunday, even though the past couple of days I've experienced mild symptoms. X

Tyxx · 11/01/2021 08:29

@allthingssparkly I’ve alreasy had 2 babies and each time I had thrush, I’ve now got thrush it came about 3/4 days ago! I knew that was my sign, I’ve been having almost like stabbing pain on my lower stomach which I had with my other two

I just knew I knew I was before I even did any tests! I’m due on the 17th

Good luck please keep me updated xx

allthingssparkly · 11/01/2021 08:37

@allthingssparkly oh wow, so that is a definite sign for you.

I have two children already too, but honestly can't remember what my early symptoms were like back then. Its difficult because they are so similar to PMS symptoms although saying that for me I don't normally suffer with any PMS symptoms before I'm due on and if I do its literally the day or evening before not like what I'm experiencing now if you get me.

Because I'm now in that last week before knowing I'm feeling all the emotions 😬 x

Tyxx · 11/01/2021 08:54

Yeah it’s weird how I’ve had the same sign with all pregnancies! it’s weird how I just knew
Good luck to you I hope you get the result you want! But yeah I agree the signs are really like pms signs x

allthingssparkly · 11/01/2021 09:07

@Tyxx I think it's sometimes a case of when you know, you know especially when you've had more than one child. You just get that feeling that's really hard to explain.

I keep thinking it's far to early to even experience slight symptoms but I suppose everyone is different. X

Ogadinma1 · 26/02/2021 10:44

Hello after my FET this is 14DP5DT. Can anyone tell if This a positive test ? The 2nd line is not as deep as the first.

How many days before your period did you test positive?
