Currently 1DPO (I think). Got a positive OPK on Thursday so assuming I ovulated either yesterday or maybe today. Have had sore boobs, bloating and cramping today.

Anyone else at the same stage who wants to wait with me?

@overtherainbow21

So this came up for me at around the 3 minute mark this morning, I was barely looking as was so convinced it would be another BFN...am I just seeing what I want to see or do you see it too??! I'm 11DPO, I used the other test from the same box yesterday and it was stark white... 🤞🏻
Aww def see it, congratulations!!! I tested this morning with a cheapy and BFN for me but I have got some frer coming today so hoping to test Friday. At not due until Tuesday next week but have a feeling I’m out this month xxx

@overtherainbow21 oh my god congrats! Positives everywhere!

@abbs1 I do have a different pack of cheapies unopened, I may give them a go tomorrow. I did the FRER with the same FMU as the cheapie Confused

@overtherainbow21 @abbs1
Just did another one from the fresh packet (still one step brand) and same again, faint line Confused

@rathernotshare him how weird, so IC positive but FRER not. Does the IC have a lower sensitivity?

That was meant to read 'hmm' not him!

rathernotshare · 30/06/2021 10:05

@SATCfan I have no idea, they're so very faint I don't believe they are actually meaning to say positive. Even though there is a line on them all, it doesn't seem to be getting darker 😩 plus by 12DPO I'd expect darker. Preparing myself for AF, due on Friday!

SATCfan · 30/06/2021 10:36

@rathernotshare the uncertainty is so so so hard isn't it? And how confusing if one type of test is positive and another negative. I hope hope hope you get a positive on a FRER 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Some women only get BFP on day af is due or after so there's still time (but not meaning to give false hope). Do you have af symptoms?

My af is due on Friday too I think (could be Sunday as my cycle varies by two days). I think I started spotting today (pre af type spotting), of course hoping it's implantation bleeding but I think more likely it's af 😔. I did a FRER this am too and it's a massive BFN, boo

rathernotshare · 30/06/2021 10:41

@SATCfan my boobs feel like lead but that's pretty normal for me, if I get cramps tomorrow I know I'm out as I always get them 1 day before I come on. I think if it doesn't happen this month I'm paying for private tests, it's been 20 months and all I've had is a blood test and he's had a sperm test, GP is refusing to do anything more ☹️

T2710 · 30/06/2021 10:45

@rathernotshare which brand of cheapies are you using. I think my line is actually darker on the cheapy than on frer this morning

rathernotshare · 30/06/2021 10:55

@T2710 one step, are yours the same?

Oh I'm so sorry your GP isn't helpful, there's such inconsistency with GPs I think. Oh I hope hope hope your ICs are right and FRER just needs to get a grip and show you a BFP too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

T2710 · 30/06/2021 11:22

@rathernotshare no mine are AZ healthcare ones from Amazon.
Really hope you get your BFP

overtherainbow21 · 30/06/2021 11:40

Aw thanks so much lovely ladies, I had 100% counted myself out for this month so really wasn't sure if I was seeing things! 😳 Feeling quite stunned, I can't concentrate on anything today - excited but cautiously so for now as AF not due til Friday. Reeeeally desperate to see a darker line tomorrow 🤞🏻

Sorry for the BFNs, I've had a few of those myself this week and maybe I'll turn out to be a cautionary tale not to lose hope! It's not over til it's over. Keeping everything crossed for you all.

@rathernotshare that's really does sound odd - did you get your FRER from Amazon by any chance, just because I've seen threads about faulty batches from there before? I've used a lot of ICs in my time including onestep and they have always been stark white when I wasn't pregnant 🤔 I don't want to give you false hope but you never know.

Poppydoppy18 · 30/06/2021 18:32

My period is due tomorrow but I feel too stressed to wait till the morning after to take a test (if AF doesn’t arrive). Would it be silly to take one tomorrow morning? Would be 15dpo

theodora2146 · 30/06/2021 18:45

We last DTD Sunday.... I did my ovulation test today and got my smiley face..... is there still a chance I could become pregnant? My partner is now working away for a few days!

BritInNZ · 30/06/2021 20:26

How's everyone feeling? I have full blown PMS now - really sore boobs and cramps (happens every month) and AF due on Tuesday. Well and truly out of the hope phase for this month and pretty gutted and emotional. This is SO hard! Now onto 6 months TTC and officially fed up.

I feel okay. Starting to feel like I have PMS. Can feel it in my boobs but I also have some ewcm. My period is due Friday or Saturday.

@Poppydoppy18 I'd say 15dpo is a good day, impressive you've waited so long!!

Feeling rubbish, absolutely fed up. Ringing the fertility clinic tomorrow even though AF isn't here yet

EWCM is unusual for so close to AF, hopefully that's a good sign! I just went on my monthly 'AF is coming, let's buy all the vitamins so I get pregnant next month' shopping trip 😂
overtherainbow21 · 01/07/2021 05:25

Confirmed with FRER 😳 faint but clear I think...starting to believe it now! 🎉 AF due tomorrow just hope it sticks 🤞🏻 Good luck to everyone testing today x

TWW anyone?
SATCfan · 01/07/2021 07:01

@overtherainbow21yes, definitely a clear line, hooray 🎊💐🥳, that’s great!

toadstool32 · 01/07/2021 07:02

Congrats @overtherainbow21 how far gone does that make you? I found out a week ago and am now still only 4 blooming weeks!!

SATCfan · 01/07/2021 07:07

@overtherainbow21
Ps so the internet cheapies were right (and quicker at picking up than FRER), who’d have thought?!? Congrats again ☺️🎊

overtherainbow21 · 01/07/2021 07:30

Aw thanks @SATCfan 💗 Actually my other positive from yesterday was CB early detection at 11DPO (wasn't sure as it was blue dye and faint)- I had BFNs on IC, Sainsbury's own brand (both 9DPO) and CB early detection (10DPO) earlier in the week...have kept this morning's sample and might do an experiment with my leftover ICs and Sainsbury's tests later though to see how well they work, as I always wonder!

@toadstool32 thank you! I'm only 3 weeks 5 days 🙈 how are you feeling?
