I can see it @Decaffe !

BiscuitLover3678 · 06/01/2022 08:50

Do you guys have the testing calendar? If so please can I be added? Grin you can put me down as 30th

Hopingforarainbow27 · 06/01/2022 08:56

Congratulations @Decaffe 🤍

Decaffe · 06/01/2022 09:24

Ah it's encouraging you can see it too, there is definitely something there, though I can't determine if it's grey or pink! I honestly feel like I've been here before though with these pesky FRERs. On one thread a couple of months ago I remember posting a picture of how you can actually see a second line on them straight out of the packet! So at this stage, I just don't know what to trust. I do see others getting similar 'lines,' really faint, and they seem to progress, so maybe I am just unlucky when it comes to indents/evaps.

Speaking of which @MyloC your progression from last night to today is very encouraging! Fingers crossed it carries on for you! Smile (and me!?)

@Moonshine160 I admire your commitment to the cause and hope you feel better soon.

@Hope42022 Let us know how you get on with your FRER today, start holding your wee now Grin

@Hopingforarainbow27

Congratulations *@Decaffe* 🤍
Aww thank you, but honestly at this stage I am leaning towards it being another one of my fabled evaps/indents... but we'll see!

I'm bleeding properly now, a little sad but knew it was coming so CD1 again for me, I have a 29 day cycle so maybe I'll test on 31st Jan I'll see how brave I feel, if you could add me for that day though that would be great so I can see how you all get on etc 💕

Hopingforarainbow27 · 06/01/2022 09:27

I've woke up today just feeling like I'm not pregnant this month. Im only 7dpo but I just feel rubbish this morning and it's never going to happen ☹️ I know this isn't the right mindset

arianasky · 06/01/2022 09:28

I can definitely see it @Decaffe mine looked like that at 8dpo fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Small1607 · 06/01/2022 09:32

Im 11DPO today, had sharp stabbing pains yesterday in my left hand side groin area which I've had in and off since just before ovulation. I tested yesterday with a FRER as i couldn't help myself 🤦‍♀️ we've been trying for a long time so at the stage where I'm just desperate to see 2 pink lines! Last month my period never came to more than spotting for 4 days, I was convinced that it was implantation as my period is normally really heavy and painful but nope BFN 🤷‍♀️ Sending everyone baby dust for a BFN soon x

CJB92 · 06/01/2022 09:34

Morning everyone. @arianasky so sorry to hear you're bleeding now :( sending lots of love and well wishes, fx for you for next cycle ❤

@Decaffe @MyloC congrats on your lines! Fx for you both.

I did another opk today, same as every day, almost positive but not quite. This has been going on for 6 days now. Another faint bfp on accutest (coop) and a bfn on an asda test. No changes really. Just waiting out til scan on Monday. X

kizzy97 · 06/01/2022 09:45

@arianasky I'm sorry to hear you've started bleeding properly now 🙁 I have everything crossed for next cycle and a sticky bean 🤞

kizzy97 · 06/01/2022 09:46

@Decaffe Congrats on your line! Hoping it progresses nicely for you 🙂

BabyBird20 · 06/01/2022 09:54

Morning everyone, is anyone here using the premom app to track their opks? I was just wondering what sort of levels you get around ovulation? Mine says my peak was 0.89 as its come down again today but that seems really low to me? I have pcos so wondering if I'm
Not actually ovulating properly this month? Argh!

Queenkai14 · 06/01/2022 10:03

@BabyBird20
It's my first month using Premom app this month and this is roughly what my one looks like. I think all the results look roughly the same lol

Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

Just checked mine, they do vary but the lowest peak I’ve had was 0.91.

@CJB92 sorry to hear the confusion is still going on 💕

HMFx · 06/01/2022 10:13

Congrats @Decaffe and @MyloC on your lines! Very exciting for you both Daffodil

Sorry to hear @arianasky - sending you lots of positivity for your next cycle and lots of baby dust too!!

@CJB92 good luck with your scan on Monday fingers crossed this will give you some answers and you can know either way.

@BabyBird20 do you have pics of them? To be honest I don't really take into account the number I just go off if they say high or peak and look at them myself at to whether they are positive. Not sure if this is the right thing to do though. I usually keep each one so I can check them all. I'm not sure how accurate the actual numbers are because it could just be the picture quality?

I've started using the clear blue advanced digital this month and first day of testing was this morning. Low fertility today which is expected on CD8. My natural cycles app is predicting O around CD17 based on previous cycles. I'll probably be testing around 27th January if I don't get AF before then!

Good luck to everyone and keep us updated! Hoping for BFPs for us all Smile

arianasky · 06/01/2022 10:50

Thank you all ❤️

Decaffe · 06/01/2022 11:03

I have to go to the hospital today for some blood tests. Would it be worth asking the nurse if she could add on an HCG test? Or do you think she wouldn’t be able to / 8dpo is too early to see the blood levels change?

OP posts:
lottieb92 · 06/01/2022 11:07

Worth asking @Decaffe !! I can see the lines clear as day :)
Everything crossed for you!

MadamMaltesers · 06/01/2022 11:21

@Small1607 I'm 11dpo too. I think I tested at 9dpi with an ic and got a bfn. Mind you the earliest bfp I've ever had was at 11dpo. When are you looking to test?

BH1926 · 06/01/2022 11:54

So sorry @arianasky 😢

Congratulations @MyloC @Decaffe on your lines! Fingers crossed for yous they progress nicely for yous ❤️ xx

BH1926 · 06/01/2022 11:54

@Decaffe I'd say it's worth a ask at least 🤷🏼‍♀️

Small1607 · 06/01/2022 12:48

@MadamMaltesers I think ill hold off and see if AF comes within the next couple of days, I normally have a 12 or 13 day lateral phase so expecting today or tomorrow. I've a few cramps which could be AF so will wait and see

BabyBird20 · 06/01/2022 12:57

Thanks @Queenkai14 , yours look higher than mine but then I'm wondering if it makes a difference that I'm not using the official premom sticks?

Thanks @Decaffe , what was your peak number this month? I've just done another and it's gone down again which is weird.

@HMFx I'll try and attach a pic. Non of them have looked very strong yet, def paler than they were last month which makes me think it could be a non ovulation month Confused

I've been using the cb ones too and I had a flashing smiley yesterday and today but no static smiley yet. All very strange!
