I’ve probably missed some 😬
Help a girl out and add anyone I’ve missed pls! 🙌🏻

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon! 🤞🏻 xx

Congrats @Elsols93 and to all the other bfps! (I’m so sorry - so much to catch up on, I’m losing track). Really sorry to those who AF has caught up with this month 😥

I’m (best guess) 10dpo. I just don’t feel like it’s happened for me this month, but have had a weird few days. Waves of nausea saturday, hyper emotional and cranky yesterday and cramps v low down today. It’s been so long since I wasn’t on hormonal contraception, I’ve no idea what’s normal tbh. And could also be imagining it all! 🤣

AF due fri/sat. Planning (ideally!!) to test next weekend if I were to make it that far. But definitely not before this Sunday, which I think would be 16dpo.

Thanks again just did a clear blue digital to be sure lol says 1-2 weeks 🙏 think I may stop now for a few days haha baby dust to you all good luck with testing ❤️

Morning ladies. BFN for me this morning on a boots cheapie. Ive never used one of those before but don't think its very sensitive. I will retest using my frer in a few days (so long as AF does not appear) xx

Can evaps show up on FRER within the time frame? Had the most squintiest of squint line, really hard to photograph or to tell if its a second line

Or indents, has anyone got experience of those with FRER?

Morning lovely people! 😊

Guess who got whiter than white negative this morning?🙋‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Thank god I didn’t waste my CB digital for this, as the temptation was there! 😂

@Missy95 high five then 🥲 I used a easy@home strip, they truly cure my POAS addiction 😜

Two of my apps predict AF is due tomorrow but that’d make my cycle only 25 days long - last time I had such a short cycle was in May, when I just came off the pill. So my bet is I’m actually due Thursday or Friday, therefore I can’t quite celebrate being late until then… I I don’t think I will as I feel quite periody already 😪

@Tefiti3 I had an indent last month on FRER, at very early on (like 7DPO) , but I can’t remember if it showed within the timeframe… I’m pretty sure though I’ve heard quite of few people saying that it did happen to them

Morning @Peonies94 I will be 9 or 10DPO on Friday! My husband goes away on Saturday for a stag, so we agreed we’d do it together on the Friday.

I promised myself I wouldn’t symptom spot as I’ve been so aware of pre-AF symptoms, so it’s so hard to guess what’s what, but I’m questioning this dull achy/pulling sensation that I’ve had on and off through the night.

@Mummytobe93 which apps do you use? Mine are usually spot on, it said I was due yesterday. Im now on the longest cycle I have had since June (still only 28 days!). Ive had bad insomnia the last few nights, and my boobs have started to get achy. If AF shows up, I will be pee'd off as they aren't my usual pms symptoms 🤣
When will you next test? I need to wait a few days as well but that frer is calling me 🤣

@Tefiti3 im not sure about evaps on frer sorry, but maybe retest in a few days? Fingers crossed. Xx

Thanks all - going to step away from the tests as I really think its an indent (it has no colour to it). AF due in 2 days so shall hopefully clear up the confusion!

I did a cheapie this morning - white as can be. 😑 I'm two days late (CD32) so that's a first ... it should be at least faint now? Or is it possible to get bfn and then still test positive later on?

@Firsttimetrier I was the same yesterday! Had a few things which I thought were symptoms, but think I’m just looking for anything!

@Missy95 I’m using Flo, pre mom and Period tracker (which is the least fancy one but I’ve got it the longest, like 2-3 years ) … Flo says I’m due tomorrow, Pre mom I’m so Thursday and Period tracker says Saturday 😂 I’ll got with Thursday as I’ll be exactly 14DPO.

Morning all, sorry to hear there have been some BFNs over the last 24 hours. I'm in a bad mood today and need to rant. So last night me and OH go to DTD but he just can't finish which is unusual for him but I blame myself as he was squishing my boob and I had to tell him and I threw him off lol! Anyway we then got woken up at 5.30 this morning by something falling over in the shower and since we were both us we decided to DTD again but AGAIN he couldn't finish he said he felt too much pressure! I've had another flashing smiley this morning so really hope he can calm down and relax so we can try again tonight.

So out of character for him and now I'm worried this will be a trend 😔

Ovulation predicted towards end of the week.

Morning ladies,

@HRHXO we had this about a year ago, but we had a big talk with a romantic dinner so he could get the pressure out by talking and everything is fine since then. These are just temporary - of course its not helpful when you’re in your fertility window. Hope he’ll get around this evening 🤞

Not really have anything to report in here, had a night sweat on Sunday night, BBT still high and it was higher this morning then yesterday, but these are my usual 2nd week tww’s symptoms. Very tired and sleepy in the last couple of days, but I think bc the weather turned really miserable in here.

I always have the urge to test on 11dpo (tomorrow) hope I can retain but probably I will test on Friday/Saturday - I tested out my trigger shot and it was negative 3 days ago- so really hope I will see both lines 🤞🙈
Who is the next to test?

@danani when do you plan to test? I am right you’re on the same dpo as me?

4 days to go 🥰

@Dobcaty @Danani I think we are all synced. I am around 10DPO. NOTHING to report sadly. I will wait until the weekend.

Morning ladies,
Hope you’re all ok?

I’ve done another test and the line is still just as faint as it was on Saturday so I’m not sure if that means this pregnancy won’t progress 😔 anyone had any experience with this?

It’s been so long since I wasn’t on hormonal contraception, I’ve no idea what’s normal tbh. And could also be imagining it all! 🤣

Omg yes this is the same for me, can't tell what's going on at all. And all I read about is your periods becoming regular after hormonal contraception but mine have been regular ever since stopping, like straight away. But every month things are still changing, period getting longer, pains returning, now getting a bit of mid-cycle pain as well....defo think it takes quite a while to leave your system!

Sorry to hear about the negatives this morning. There's still time though!

@Dob29 I'm afraid I don't have any experience of this but I have read that hpt's shouldn't be indicative of a healthy, progressive pregnancy. But I know it's something we all look for when taking multiple tests. Do you have a picture of the tests at all?

I’ve attached a pic of them. I think I might do another one on Thursday and then maybe phone the GP to see what they suggest. I’ve seen a couple of other forums saying it doesn’t mean it’s not progressing as it should but you just expect to see a dark link don’t you 🙈

Morning ladies. So sorry to read about all the BFNs this morning. I got another one too despite having a small amount of pink spotting yesterday at 12 DPO which I thought could have been IB. Whiter than white for me too. AF technically due tomorrow or any time from now really.

In my sleepy state this morning I wee'd into a little cup that I use only for POAS. STUPIDLY I balanced the cup on the flat part of the toilet roll holder and told myself repeatedly not to knock it off. Of course I knocked it off just as I dipped the HPT, sending wee all over the bathroom floor. Took me ages to clean it up and clean the floor 😭 To have a BFN was the final insult.

@dob29 pleeeeease don't torture yourself over the darkness of the lines. They are not an indicator of a progressing pregnancy! Please ask your GP for a blood test - it's the only way to see how a very early pregnancy is progressing.

Ahh I don't think I'd be worrying about those lines @Dob29, they're certainly not getting any fainter and the tests shouldn't be used to indicate progression! Maybe wait until early next week and take a digital to see how many weeks it gives you? I think they look like lovely lines though ☺️

@Squiff70 that sounds like an absolute nightmare of a morning 😩 maybe the pink bleeding is implantation but it's still too early to pick up a positive? Really have everything crossed for you.

@cruz86 thanks. Maybe it was IB but I'd have thought a HPT would pick it up now. I'll try not to test again til Thursday.

@HRHXO oh we had this a day after static smiley. I just wanted to have a go at him but I knew I'd scare him off even more 😂 (and we don't shout at each other haha).

It resolved itself but I can sense how this one year malarkey will start getting tiring soon. Of ovulation week, waiting...

I don't know if it's silly but I've been making more of an effort with my hair (both wfh so I look a mess most days), make up, perfume, silky pyjamas, shaved legs. It works well on him
How long have you been trying?
