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

My temp has dropped right down (I track BBT) so AF will be arriving imminently.

BFN for me too this morning too, pretty sure I'm just having another long cycle 🙃 used a freedom cheapie strip, at least I only wasted £1 😂

How is everyone doing?
I believe today I'm 10dpo. +O Jan 15th, AF due Jan 27th.
Haven't tested today but will tomorrow with FRER. Feel really anxious about it. Having such weird symptoms but going to feel like an idiot if AF comes .

Hi guys, can I join? Trying for our first, 9dpo, tested with a FRER this morning and negative AF due 30th. Here’s to trying to hold out until 12dpo to test again...

@Tryingandhoping2020
It's so frustrating the tww! We drive ourselves crazy 😬

I tested again today too with my last FRER at 10dpo 🤣 I honestly can't control myself. I think next month I'm going to have to not buy any so I'm forced to wait until AF is late.

I've got lower back pains but again, that's another sign for me that AF is coming! Probably will keep trying with my remaining cheapo ones until it's definitely game over.

@Tryingandhoping2020 still very early for you! Got my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@MaltyJones92
Im also 10dpo today! When is Your AF due? When you going to test again? I have 2x FRER coming later this eve but going to test tomorrow morning.
Its not normal the addiction hahaha only reason i didnt test today is because I used them all up 🤣 i was having withdrawal symptoms today from not POAS!
I really don't feel good today, hoping it isn't AF but I'm thinking the worst so that I'm not too sad when I get AF. Got horrendous cramps today and gas 🙈 sorry tmi.

@Sesamechick I'm due on Wednesday! I wish I had some more FRER tests. Only got cheapies left. Think I'll pop to Superdrug on Wednesday if AF doesn't show by then.

It's hard not to analyse every single symptom isn't it! I honestly can't tell now whether these are symptoms I normally have or if they're new. My back ache is bothering me a fair bit though.

I thought I saw a very faint line this evening with my last FRER and shamelessly took it apart and darkened the photo 🤣 But I'm pretty sure it's what people call an evap line unfortunately!

@MaltyJones92

My AF also due Wed!
It really messes with your mind wondering whether they're AF symptoms or early pregnancy ones. Literally driving me crazy!! Today just hasn't been a good day. Also have terrible lower back pain for a while now but today have horrendous stomach cramps.
I can definitely see a line on your test but who knows if it is an evap line. Hope not! I'm anxious testing tomorrow morning but will do then and then wait to see what happens on Wed
Sending lots of baby dust your way!

@Sesamechick All the cheapies I've done have come back negative, so pretty sure it's just an evap! This is why you should never take tests apart 🤣 Guess I'll have a better idea on Wednesday. Deffo let us know if there's any update tomorrow! Crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MaltyJones92
Thanks lovely and mine crossed for you!

Fingers crossed for you all! So annoying that PMS and pregnancy symptoms are the same. I had a random day of bad lower back pain yesterday, like I’d pulled something out of place... woke up this morning and it was gone. So weird!

@Tryingandhoping2020
I had the on and off back pain too. Was so bad some days! How many dpo are you?
@MaltyJones92
Think I'm out. BFN FRER 5am FMU.
Feel so disheartened but there is always next month.

@Sesamechick I’m 10dpo today. Going to try holding off testing again till 12DPO.

Sorry about your BFN there’s still a possibility AF might not arrive! If not, onwards and upwards to next month x

Also tested this morning, using a TESCO test, and it was negative. Just got to wait and see if AF arrives on Thursday now I guess!

@Sesamechick Ah sorry lovely, that's annoying - although you're not out until AF arrives, but if she does then there's only four weeks to wait and it could be a completely different story 🤞🏻

I also tested at 5am this morning! How funny 🤣 I did it with a Tesco one and again, I swear I see a faint line but it is REALLY faint. Could be another evap. I think I'm going to have to head down to town today and buy some FRER ones from Superdrug. Although I am so convinced I'm going to start AF that I've even put a pantyliner in (tmi, sorry).

@Tryingandhoping2020 I'm going to try and hold off until tomorrow but it's SO HARD. I never realised I would get this obsessive!

@Emerald4512 the Tesco ones apparently have a really really low sensitivity which is why I'm going to get some more FRER ones today just in case.

@MaltyJones92 keep us updated on your FRER! Fingers crossed for you!

@Tryingandhoping2020 @Sesamechick Well looks like I'm out this month ladies! AF appears to have made an appearance. I am a bit surprised as I've never had faint positives before but after looking online it does seem to happen more often than I thought. Fingers crossed for next month 🤞🏻

Oh no @MaltyJones92 snap, I have just started spotting too so guessing that’s it for this month for me too

@MaltyJones92
@Tryingandhoping2020

Ahh I'm so sorry ladies...fingers crossed for you both next month xx

I tested 8 days before my period was due and got a very clear line.

Trying(ish) for our second now and I’m taking my ovulation tracking app with a pinch of salt and may test early again 😂

@Sesamechick So... still getting a tiny bit of brown spotting, hasn’t turned into proper AF yet. Am I silly for hoping it might be implantation bleeding? Do you think I have a chance of a positive if I test tomorrow? (11dpo today, spotting started at 10dpo, last test bfn at 9DPO)

Hi @TerrifiedOfTrying4No2

Morning, still no AF for me, was due yesterday. Sorry I haven't been on here the past few days, took a step back after the bfn on the FRER on Sunday.
