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?

Oh they are a lot more sensitive!! @T2710 Were these the 6 days early or just the normal frers?

T2710 · 26/06/2021 22:28

@sunnyside257 they are the First Response Early Result ones (so yes, 6 days early) I've never tried the normal FR ones

GemLooper · 27/06/2021 06:13

I'm 10dpo. No symptoms whatsoever (tmi but prettty non existent cm). Just took a FRER with FMU and I think I see a line - vvfl but not sure if I trust it. Never seen an evap before so can't tell. With my first pregnancy I was so much more relaxed (weirdly) and didn't test at all until it was a very definite line so this squinting is new to me. Attached a pic - took me loads of tries to get a pic that "possibly" showed the line. any thoughts? Line appeared after about two mins I think - I took some cheapies in between that were all definitely negative. Only have one FRER left so going to keep that one for tomorrow morning. Help please - vvfl/nothing/evap?

TWW anyone?

Good luck if anyone’s testing this weekend. I’m really trying to hold off but so so tempted!

BritInNZ · 27/06/2021 06:51

@GemLooper I see a line! Maybe try tomorrow or the day after and then report back? Exciting!!

I'll definitely report back tomorrow. I've found it really helpful to look at everyone else's squinters!

GemLooper · 27/06/2021 06:59

@T2710

You can see here how much darker the line was on FRER. DPOs are in the captions
These photos are so helpful! Thanks T2710.

Morning, just joining now. New to mumsnet and just posted on another chat too as in TWW and have this gut feeling or more like a 'knowing' that I'm pregnant. Can't explain it, anyone else had it? I'm 9DPO. We have a dd and when ttc her I thought I was pregnant but wasn't a few times but the feeling was more desperate/over analysing - now it's more a knowing?!? I'm aware if there is a BFP it doesn't mean it'll stick but at this time I've just got this massive gut feelings.. any thoughts? Baby dust to everyone DaffodilDaffodil

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 07:07

@GemLooper I definitely see a line, how exciting! Massive congratulations Smile

overtherainbow21 · 27/06/2021 07:51

@GemLooper looks like a line to me! Does it have colour? Very promising that it showed up in 2 mins, whenever I've had a BFN it's been stark white nothing like that. Good luck for the retest!

@sunnyside257 thanks and good luck if you're testing today! I'm trying to hold out til tomorrow but totally driving myself mad with symptom-spotting in the meantime...nauseous since yesterday and temps are still rising but probably imagining it...

@SATCfan welcome! I'm not sure about the gut feeling, but hope this is your month!

SATCfan · 27/06/2021 08:02

@overtherainbow21 thanks! I'll report back - totally desperate to take a test despite the 'knowing'... uncertainty is so hard isn't it? But I'm going to wait a bit longer. Good luck managing to hold off testing. When is your af due?

overtherainbow21 · 27/06/2021 08:21

@SATCfan I know, I wish you could find out immediately when TTC, the uncertainty is a challenge. Do you have any symptoms or just the feeling? I think I had that knowing feeling with my second pregnancy, but looking back I think that was based on feeling quite woozy and a bit nauseous in the days before... AF due Friday, I'll only be 9DPO tomorrow but I know I won't be able to wait! I hate the disappointment of a BFN so am trying to brace myself...

BritInNZ · 27/06/2021 08:27

Well I would love to be one of those people that just 'knows' 😂 even when I've had months where I've felt confident I've always got a BFN! Maybe it's because I'm trying for #1 so have no experience. Pretty sure it's a no this month too and I'm only 6 DPO!

rathernotshare · 27/06/2021 09:34

@GemLooper congratulations!!

I wish I was a person that just knew, sometimes I think if I say 'I know I'm pregnant' I will be but it's not worked so far! BFN on an FRER 9-10DPO, hope dwindling!

I'm testing today, it's definitely too early and will probably get a BFN but I had white watery CM yesterday Confused anyone else testing?

sunnyside257 · 27/06/2021 11:29

@JAL2 - I tested this morning and it was BFN. 😕 Feel slightly disappointed but I knew it was going to be negative anyways. I'm only 8 or 9DPO and I just used a cheapie strip test.

Have you tested?

Lozzacol · 27/06/2021 11:49

Hey ladies, hope it's OK to join. 7dpo and getting impatient! Stupidly took a ic this morning obviously a BFN. Trying to wait until next weekend to test but I dont think I have the willpower!

abbs1 · 27/06/2021 12:17

@Lozzacol im trying to wait till next Friday to test. Not sure if i can wait that long

Lozzacol · 27/06/2021 12:22

@abbs1 omg I know ivr struggled just getting to 7dpo! The tww is a killer. How many dpo are you?

@overtherainbow21
My AF due on Friday too (I think); I'm not 100% sure if I'm working it out correctly but that would be 14dpo. have quite a lot of symptoms that I had in DC1's pregnancy, swollen boobs with veins, have vomited 2x, queasy, twinges down below and tummy but the biggest one for me is that the symptoms of my autoimmune condition are almost gone even though I was due to take my meds one week ago (not taken as waiting if BFP - meds need tweaking if BFP). Despite the 'knowing' I'll still be so gutted if it isn't a BFP of course. Fingers crossed for everyone - when you planning on testing?
