When is the earliest you would test?

[Sesamechick]

AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 27th.
When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

I got this this morning. 8/9 MAX days past ovulation.

IC are showing a proper squinter.

I am surprised it’s such a strong line so early! FRER are the best. I wouldn’t bother with anything else. Just shame they are so expensive.

I am very realistic this could end up a chemical. So I am tentatively excited 🤞

9/10dpo with internet cheapies and don’t be afraid to shine a torch behind the strip.

This is only if you’re prepared to deal with the possibility of an early chemical.

Thanks ladies, glad it isn’t my mind playing tricks on me.

Sesame AF is due on Tuesday. Are you going to test again tomorrow? I’ve got 4 IC tests left but going to try and resist. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too lovely ☺️

MrsC You’ve got to get your FRER off your DH! Yes the ICs can be a pain. Let us know how you get on if you manage to persuade DH 😀

LJZRBB Congratulations! That’s a great line so early!

I tested today at 11dpo. Not a whiff of a line.
I've been hormonal this month. Boobs sore all month, nausea all month and cramps all month. Not much ewcm as usual so I'm putting it all down to dodgy hormones and hopefully I'll be back to normal after AF. I've got the usually pre menstrual spots and grumpiness so expecting AF any day, sometimes I'm a day or 2 earlier or later than expected.
I've ordered opks ready for our next try.

@LividLoving really? With IC's holding them to the light? Is that a thing?
hold this mornings IC up to light

@CausingChaos2. 😊 thank you.. it’s suspiciously good🤔

What I would say ladies. Is the reason I suspected is by now in my cycle my boobs would be killing and my stomach aches would be bad. But this month nothing.

Just because you have no symptoms don’t assume your out ! 🤞

@LJZRBB
YAYYYYYY CONGRATS!!
trying to figure out when i can get a FRER. I have 4 cheap stick preg tests!

@MrsC89 I am a very veteran ic-er of three IUIs, three IVFs, two mcs, two chemicals and a natural baby.

When I say a line is a line and they start with torch shining faintness, I mean it.

@Sesamechick hmmm I did do a IC yesterday afternoon and I think I got a line. Although this was out of the time frame.

I stocked up on FRER last Saturday. They were 3 for 2 in boots. So 6 sticks for £20 🤢

Ooo thanks for letting me know!! Mind if I ask how many days before AF did u get this positive? X

@LividLoving thank you. My tfmr was twins so from cd28 my lines were crazy dark so I had nothing to compare to if you get what I mean

@Sesamechick I’m on CD 25. Period due Sunday or Monday.

I'll do a cheapie test everyday till AF due which is Wed. I have 4 tests. Wonder if I did a FRER now hmmm
Pray its a +

@Sesamechick maybe wait until Sunday to do the FRER? You’ll be annoyed you’ve wasted the money if it’s negative?
Easily said though...

Are you going to get hold of a FRER Sesame ? I’ve ordered a pack which will arrive on Monday so will force myself to wait until then. May do an IC in the meantime.

I'll wait toll closer to AF to do a frer. Ill stick to the cheap ones now. I wouldn't be able to get FRER till Sunday anyways. To be honest, i would hate for a BFN due to testing early. So disappointing x

Sounds like a good plan. I hope you get a solid line

🙏🤞

Thanks lovely ladies
I hope so too. Will keep you updated xx

Congrats to all with the BFP’s!!

@LividLoving, it’s funny you should say that re IC’s. I got a very faint shadow of a line last night and this morning. I shined my phone torch on it from behind an d then there’s a definite line. I dipped one in water and I couldn’t see a line when I shined with my torch. However, FRER was stark negative and I know they are good/ sensitive so I’m thinking they’re probably indents/ evaps.

@SweetShopSurprise was it the same wee for FRER? I stand by evaps being a myth. Keep testing

@Sesamechick I'm very late to this conversation but I'm in exactly the same position as you! I think I ovulated on the 15th and AF also due on 27th. I've caved and did a test yesterday and today - both BFNs obviously!

I've had some cramping but I always have that in the week leading up to AF so my hopes are slowly dwindling unfortunately :(

@MaltyJones92
Not late at all to conversation. Glad you joined!!
When do you think you'll test next? I dont know why we drive ourselves crazy testing early, but it is impossible not to! Im going to do cheap test tomorrow. Not much else we can do really but wait!
Don't lose hope. Fingers crossed for us all xxx

@Sesamechick I want to say I'll wait until Sunday when I'll be 9dpo but I reckon I'll cave and do another tomorrow morning. I've been trying for four months and have been using expensive tests every time (First response & clearblue), but today I just got a big pack of those really cheap strip ones so it doesn't matter so much. I just find if I don't do one then I can't stop thinking about it all day 🤣 Have you done one yet? I see lots of people online getting BFNs until after 9dpo.

@MaltyJones92
Hahahah yes I'm the same!! I have to do (at least) 1 a day! I did this morning and thought I saw a v v v faint line (but then again i have terrible eyesight lol) but nothing that I feel confident about. I buy the cheap sticks from Poundland. 3 tests for £1 so I'll use one of them again tomorrow.
I constantly feel like I'm having a fight with myself because I'm trying to be realistic that i could be having AF symptoms but I'm also trying to be positive. I'm so up and down. I would just love to be able to surprise my husband and kids! X
