@anotheronettc

The faulty clear blue this morning is the first pic.. when I got home from work it looked like the second pic. So I took another clear blue and nothing. I'll test again tomorrow I guess 🙄🙄 I know you'll all want to tell me off for testing but .. please don't 😂 I just want to know so badly.
There's a line on that CB?!

@zippityzip but it only looked that after I got home from work unfortunately xx

There's definitely lines of some of those tests. I think the cross clearblue ones are less sensitive than the other ones as well?
I'm exactly the same about testing early and often. No judgement from me. Solidarity and best wishes for a blazing BFP!

@NoseringGirl yeah I think you're right, the cross one is 25 and the straight line one is ten. Thanks love, you too x

10dpo top one and 11 dpo the 2nd pic. These have a 20 sensitivity. Need to get my hands on the ultra early clear blue today which has a ten sensitivity. Starting to think I'm imagining this though now. Surely I'd know by now?? These tests are the acutest early sign, anyone had good experiences with them? Xx

I see a line now 😊

Catipepo · 22/06/2021 09:32

@anotheronettc I don't know if this is helpful but this is my line progression- using test strips from boots.
Going from 7DPO, 9DPO, 11DPO and 13DPO.
I can see something in your recent ones 💕

@Catipepo thanks, I wish the strip tests looked like that for me, the ones I have pick up on 25 mIU/mL I seem to only be getting anything on 20 or lower at the moment. Honestly I feel like giving up hope right now. X

I see a line op! Hang in there! I did one of these on a Monday and clear a day bfn, by Wednesday I had my bfp on my missed period day! ♥️

bethabean · 22/06/2021 10:20

I can see the lines op! I am now coming up to 11 weeks and I didn't get my positive test until over a week after my missed period. I have my fingers crossed for you xx

squishyegg · 22/06/2021 14:20

I can see the lines!! I know this feeling- I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and I was a mad tester!!! X

NoseringGirl · 22/06/2021 16:15

I definitely see that line. Not to encourage extra tests or anything but have you tried testing at different times of the day?

Just going to wait until tomorrow as I'm starting to really think this is all in my mind now tbh x

Ugh... so it went from the line at 11 dpo to today.. nothing at all. Still no period. But it's not looking good. I'm 12 dpo today. Feeling very down!

My temp is at 36.79 this morning and my boobs are so incredibly sore which I don't normally get with my period. But lines just don't disappear right, unless it was an evap or I've lost it.

another question, yesterday I had a positive ovulation test, and my temp has increased today, could it be that I ovulated really late?? Maybe I'm just missing it entirely

Sweetheart, for your own mental health you need to stop testing so much. I know it's hard but it's not healthy and the stress won't be doing you any good at all.
I've seen faint lines on some of your tests but HCG doubles every 2 days so you need to wait 2 days between tests really. Now that you've taken some this morning, wait until Friday. It's hard but honestly you need to take a step back.
Also, discuss with your OH. Doing this amount of testing alone isn't good for you. You need real life support

@Eachpeachpears yeah you are right I just got too excited at the prospect in future I won't be testing until the day of my missed period. I def got too wrapped up!! Thank you xx

Oh OP I'm so sorry. I kept checking this thread hoping for better news :(
I've seen people post that they've had a positive OVulation test when they were pregnant so that could be a good sign but in all honestly those tests should be getting darker by now. Maybe it's just because they've been done so close to each other, maybe you ovulated late or maybe it didn't stick (💔), but whatever the answer is I know that this is so tough, almost torturous when you just want to know what's going on. It's easy to say stop the tests, but not easy to do so. Sending you lots of love and hoping you're ok xxx

MyMabel · 23/06/2021 15:59

This was mine OP.

I came on my period. Also took multiple FRER test with faint lines.. I won’t take another frer ever again, their evaps are terrible.

I’ve never used to have an issue with the co-op tests, these acutest ones. But this cycle I got this and I was made up, ready to surprise DP for father day. Then my period came a few days later. I’ve never been so gutted. I think it was pretty likely it was a chemical pregnancy.

My fingers are crossed for you, I hope you get the result you want.

Thanks ladies, I'm feeling alright today now, just moving on and trying to figure out plan nice things. No sign of period yet but it's so irregular I don't take that as a sign. So I'll just wait now and see what happens. Thank you all for your support x

@MyMabel sorry to hear that must have been hard! I honestly don't think I'll use these tests again x

My cycles are painfully irregular too which is just so frustrating with TTC. The best way to do it is try and figure out when you're ovulating and then add 14 days. Don't think too much about the entire cycle length! Once you know your own ovulation symptoms your period date can be pretty accurate!
Thinking of you OP, do keep us updated ♥️
