@Confused678866 here's pics, like I said it was very faint no where near as obvious as others on this thread 🙈

Top pic was first and frer and ic are very clear in person and definitely pink

Then left to right
Left was a close up of the top ic
Then middle was yesterday
Right is just now but not let it sit fully so definitely lighter :( barely there tbh now 😩
(Feel a bit silly writing this now with how faint they are but it really got my hopes up again)

@amyannx thank you! Good luck with your blood test today, I'm sure everything will be fine :) 💕

@amyannx Yes I don't blame you, it's stressful isn't it. No, I did one more FRER on Saturday morning, the line was slightly darker so I was happy with that. I have one more FRER left... I may think about getting a CB digital but, to be honest, I remember when I used one of those before (first baby) and I was about 6 weeks gone and my result showed 3+ which is obviously correct.. but when I told the midwife that, she rolled her eyes and said not to go off things like that as they're not exactly the most accurate! I think if I used one now, it would stress me out trying to work out if it was correct or not. Maybe in a couple of weeks or something?
Let's us know how your bloods go today 🤞🏻 xxx

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 05:55

@CTMcG Hey! I fell pregnant with my first baby in my first cycle! So it does happen. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 05:58

@firsttimemummy321 Hey. I can see the line on your IC and I can actually see something on the FRER but I'm not sure it has colour to it. Definitely see something on the IC though! I can't see anything on this mornings FRER but mine wasn't really visible on pictures. When is AF due?? Xx

firsttimemummy321 · 10/05/2021 06:10

@Confused678866 thank you. The ics and frers are lighter so not looking good (were faint to begin with)
The frer (one in multiple pic) is 100% pink in person. There might be a shadow on this mornings but if I hadn't had the more obvious line I'd count it as negative tbh

Last month af arrived at 10 dpo (and the month before 7) and I'm now 10/11/12dpo ...usually 14 days after though so due in 2-4 days if using my usual cycle times 🙈

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 06:25

@firsttimemummy321 Ahh okay so it still could be early for you?? I didn't test until the day after AF was due (according to apps) but my cycles had differed to be honest. Apps were either telling me AF was due on the Monday or Tuesday (I have about 4 apps 👀) and I tested on the Tuesday and that's when I got a vvv faint line on a FRER.
Maybe give it a day or so and test again if AF doesn't arrive? 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

abbs1 · 10/05/2021 07:24

I caved and took a test this morning which was negative. The last 2 nights ive been really nauseous and my boobs are quite sore. Af isnt due till Thursday so maybe im too early testing? Ive had some cramping on and off too. Maybe im over thinking it all 🙈

gimmeavino · 10/05/2021 07:31

Finalllllly got a flashy smiley face on cb this morning on cd19! So reassuring to see it as was starting to think something was wrong, first time using opks so not sure how long I'll have the flashy face before the static one, but I don't care just excited to see it 😂

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 07:51

@abbs1 im in the same boat as you, AF due Thursday and I swear im making up symptoms now 🤣 clinging on to any little hope I get x

abbs1 · 10/05/2021 07:54

@Missy95 im still clinging on hoping to see 2 lines in a few days. I will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

dunkedbiscuit · 10/05/2021 07:55

@Missy95 and @abbs1 I'm with you on Thursday! Hoping its a lucky day for us

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 07:55

@abbs1 fingers crossed for you too. Last month I was a day late when usually im like clockwork. It was devastating so im gonna try and wait a few days after (hopefully) a missed AF. If I can 🤣 x

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 07:56

@dunkedbiscuit fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏿 x

Quinn26 · 10/05/2021 08:01

Hey everyone looking for some advice. I seem to keep getting a constant ache in my left ovary area. It started when I first got pregnant last year however that ended in MC and needed a MVA.

Since then I have felt this ache around the time of ovulation which I didn't have before, I know this can be normal. However I've noticed the dull ache seems to continue after AF especially this month I am aware of it. Does anyone else experience this? I don't have heavy periods or bads cramps during AF. Feel like I might be working myself up but unsure whether to get it checked out or not x

@dunkedbiscuit yes fingers crossed it is!

Tylerjade89 · 10/05/2021 08:17

Hi guys, I’m a newbie here :) I’m 6dpo after my partners vasectomy reversal in February. So I’m not holding out much hope
But good luck you all ☺️ X

Meg9717 · 10/05/2021 08:29

@Quinn26

Hi! I get quite a lot of pain during ovulation. It is this aching sensation you describe but is painful for me and alternates sides, so not just always the left or right.
That pain eases for me but is straight back when AF arrives and even worse.
This never used to be the case for me and I’ve noticed a big change in my body/cycles since coming off contraception 6 months ago.
My periods are so much more painful, extremely heavy and I’m passing quite large clots every month which never used to happen (sorry TMI).

I’m thinking off booking myself for a Well Woman Scan at a clinic just to see if they can see anything going on in there to explain it. I’ve been self diagnosing myself with PCOS and Endometriosis which has really got me in a panic as I’m now convinced that is the reason I’ve not been successful in TTC 😫

Quinn26 · 10/05/2021 08:37

@meg9717 I feel I have been self diagnosing myself too! I think I need to step away from Dr Google! Although tempted to get a scan too. I question everything my body is doing just now! Normally the ache fades after AF then comes back at ovulation but its stayed around this time.

I did get scanned to check for cysts when I MC but it was all clear but I wonder if one has developed. I don't fancy phoning my GP as I don't think they would be very helpful x

BabyFeet92 · 10/05/2021 08:41

@gimmeavino yay! I'm so glad for you that you got the smiley face! What does the flashing mean? I think the tests I have only give a static blank or a static smiley.

@CTMcG welcome here! We are also on cycle 1 of baby 1 so I feel you! It's amazing how you guys just decided now it is time. I think that would totally freak me out. We picked a month to start TTC months in advance and it's still freaking me out Grin

gimmeavino · 10/05/2021 08:53

@BabyFeet92 I think there's two types ones that flash ones that don't...the flashy is high fertility which is approx 2 days and then when it's static it's peak fertility and means ovulation is 24/36 hours away (I think!) so I think ovulation is probably due in around 4 days....good job I'm not relying on flo app because that says ovulation was on the 6th and I'd probably have stopped dtd for a break and missed it 😂

BabyFeet92 · 10/05/2021 09:00

@gimmeavino ah that makes sense. Thanks! Gosh this whole TTC business is a science on its own.

ShoeGal2710 · 10/05/2021 09:08

We have no children and have been TTC for 15 months with no luck. My husband and I have had all tests available from the hospital and both are healthy and super fertile apparently. Today I am 14 DPO and due on my period tomorrow. I am too scared to take a pregnancy test in fear it will read negative. It feels like a long road to get to where we desperately want to be. 😥 does anyone feel the same? Tired of people telling me “it will happen”, “it hasn’t been that long”, “it’s not your time yet”. People don’t understand!
