AF is late, today is CD33, cycle is 'usually' 28 days but the last couple of months I've been later by one day each cycle so it was 28,29,30 and I don't know if it's just something weird going on with my cycle getting progressively longer?

Ordered a couple of FRERs, should I do one this evening or wait until FMU tomorrow? I don't want to waste one. If I do it now will it be accurate enough?

We weren't planning on TTC DC2 until the summer Blush

Whether it's accurate is entirely dependent on when you ovulated I'm afraid! So if your cycle is getting longer then presumably you are ovulating later and later. Do you track ovulation at all?

If it were me I'd take a test now. If you're 3 days late (or later than anticipated) a FRER will pick it up. I took a regular test 2 days before I was due and it was positive. FRER, the next day, was a dye stealer.

Ah not at all, this month was supposed to be a practise run before I started taking conception vitamins and using OPKs next cycle Confused

An evening test should be fine if you're that late.

The result seems pretty definitive Grin DS took a little while to conceive so I was gearing up for a long slog TTC. I'm definitely in shock!

Thank you! With DS i was testing daily from 4DPO and had a BFP 6 days before AF was due so this is the strongest line I've ever seen 😂
