Wasted my FRER at 9dpo

I promised myself I wouldn't! But I woke up this morning feel awful, so off I went and POAS and at 9dpo it was a BFN. AF is due in 7 days.
Why do I do this to myself!!
I'm annoyed now and just really disappointed. But the last few days I have felt so tired, off food and sick so I sort of had convinced myself I was. I've set myself up for a bad day. Sorry for the rant!

Morning ladies. I have a line this morning but it's super faint, even on a frer. I should be happy because at least that is a good start but all 3 of my failed pregnancies have started with very faint lines. My one successful pregnancy had a strong line by this point so I suspect this one will go the same way 😭

missrose0110 · 20/02/2021 07:34

Guys, i tested again this morning at 13dpo and THERES A LINE! much more visible in person but hard to pick up in person. I can't believe it xxx

On camera* sorry. Hard to pick up on camera xx

treesall · 20/02/2021 07:47

Congratulations @missrose0110!!

missrose0110 · 20/02/2021 08:36

@treesall thank you so much! I can't believe it. Proof that testing early just causes unnecessary stress. I was negative 2 days ago! Xxx

tulips87 · 20/02/2021 08:41

@missrose0110 congratulations! That's lovely news to wake up to! You must be so happy after those BFN's, it's crazy what a day or two can do. Do you have any symptoms?

@treesall really have my 🤞🏼 that this is the one ♥️ How many DPO are you? Could that have something to do with the faint line?

missrose0110 · 20/02/2021 08:46

@tulips87 yes definitely! It's so disheartening seeing BFNs isn't it. Erm symptom wise, my boobs are sore, had some cramping last weekend and I gagged when changing my sons nappy the other day, but other than that, not really. All of those things are out of the ordinary though.

Baby dust to you all! Hoping to see some more positives on here! Xxx

tulips87 · 20/02/2021 09:32

I'm out this cycle. I wiped this morning and had a speck of pink. AF is due Tuesday and I usually have spotting for 3-4 days before hand so that's me, I also feel like AF is on the way as I'm feeling heavy lower down. Boooooo!
Might have to find myself some new POAS buddies for next cycle as you're all getting your BFPs this month ♥️♥️

Morning guys! So I had a huge temp drop this morning which I usually get if AF is coming. 12 DPO so took a test - BFN!

Oh well. Guess I’m out and just have to wait for AF which is due on Tuesday.

To those who asked about tracking BBT, I find it so much better than OPKs. I’ve only done it for 2 cycles but I find it useful to know when I’m in my TWW and an indication if AF is coming (the temp drop today).

We don’t have issues timing sex, we usually do it most days before TTC anyway, so as long as we do it every other day I don’t see the need for OPKs. They stressed me out this month as I wasn’t seeing a peak and I ended up O’ing late.

Anyway, now planning for my third cycle trying! I know it’s stupid as it’s not long at all, but when I first started TTC I really didn’t think I’d be at this stage. The only time I’ve ever conceived before was literally after one accident.

So my plan this time is to take soy isoflavones again (I took them quite late this month which obv didn’t work for me!) and continue taking inositol. I’m gonna try conceive plus lube as well as I’ve never noticed any EWCM, so fingers crossed for cycle 3!

treesall · 20/02/2021 10:54

@tulips87 I have a positive digital too now but that doesn't mean anything - also had that last month. Fingers crossed.

I'm sorry you had pink but it's not over til AF arrives - it could be implantation perhaps?

DoodleLovin · 20/02/2021 12:38

@missrose0110 congratulations!!!

6 DPO here.... time..is going....so....slow...

missrose0110 · 20/02/2021 18:53

@DoodleLovin thank you! Oh my goodness doesn't it pass by so slowly! I've never known time go as slowly as it does during tww! Sending baby dust! Xx

heybabes · 20/02/2021 20:03

Congrats @treesall and @missrose0110 ! Excellent news xxx

treesall · 21/02/2021 15:24

@tulips87 did AF arrive?

@missrose0110 how are you today?

tulips87 · 21/02/2021 15:40

Hey @treesall AF is definitely on the way, I usually spot for 3 days before hand that's what this is I guess. But it's okay, just planning for the next cycle now and looking into BBT if you have any tips for me!
How are you? Have you tested again? x

Emerald4512 · 21/02/2021 15:46

Hi all! I'm also trying to conceive and on cycle 2. I'm due on Thursday but got a BFN this morning using a FRER. I don't know why I do it to myself as just been really upset today. Wishing luck to everyone else ❤ xxx

missrose0110 · 21/02/2021 16:02

@heybabes thank you!

@treesall I'm in shock! Still hasn't hit me yet and I don't think it will for a while. How are you? Xxx

heybabes · 21/02/2021 21:42

@Emerald4512 I’m on cycle 2 as well and had a BFN on 12 DPO (yesterday). I know how you feel. So rubbish. I feel awful because I know people struggle for much longer, but at the same time I never thought I’d be trying again on a third cycle?! Hope you’re ok and that it was just an early and potentially false negative x

incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 21:47

@tulips87 I'm going to do BBT for the first time this cycle too!

treesall · 21/02/2021 21:49

@missrose0110 i think I'm just overshadowed by previous losses so not expecting this to work out. So hope it does though. Have been stupidly tired the last 2 days but that might be due to the toddler deciding to have 2 hour wake ups in the middle of the night...

tulips87 · 21/02/2021 21:50

@incywincyspiders I tested my thermometer this evening and put it into my chart to 'practice' for the real thing! Haha No idea how I'm going to do all of that while I'm half asleep just waking up, I'll be so stressy I bet!! Hahaha
Good luck! I'm going to start tomorrow morning. AF is due Tuesday and very much on the way.

Hey hope you don't mind me jumping on this post
I am on CD 16
DTD on valentines 😏 my flo app says ovulation day was 17th but I feel it was a day or 2 earlier
I spotted for 2 days after sex (assumed it was because me and hubby hadn't DTD for 2 months)
Yesterday I felt really nauseous
Today I have had backache and stomach cramps, fatigue and spotting this morning when I wiped and nothing since so possible IB
I know its far too early but I did a test and there is a really really faint line, my husband can spot it too but can't pick it up on camera!
Will keep you all posted!
Baby dust to you all xx

incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 22:06

Hahaha I'm the same, I will probably forget knowing me 😂 My AF came yesterday and my thermometer came today. I'm excited. This is cycle 4 of trying for me!!

tulips87 · 21/02/2021 22:39

@incywincyspiders haha I know the excitement. My thermometer arrived today too. I just know I'm going to do it all wrong but it's worth a try! This is cycle 3 for me, I want to try and relax this cycle but at the same time I don't want to feel like I'm not doing enough so going to try SMEP and see if we can keep it up.
Will you be trying anything different this time?

OP posts:
incywincyspiders · 21/02/2021 23:00

I don't blame you for trying to relax, it's so stressful isn't it?? I've been doing SMEP, it's tiring but I do feel it maximises the chance of conception!

Im going the opposite way of relaxing cos I'm obsessing and next cycle we will be taking a break for a month because I would be due Christmas Eve 😂 So i am throwing everything at this cycle I'm going to invest in B vitamins, already taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins and also vitamin c. Also keeping my feet warm with fluffy socks every day as apparently cold feet mean a cold uterus?!?! (only just heard this). I'd been trying baby aspirin but I think it's just making my periods heavier so I might stop that this month lol.
