Hi all, I have figured out how to create a thread on Mumsnet and here goes... my first one.

This is a continuation of the two (!) full Jan threads so far this month - we're a chatty bunch and happy to welcome new folks. There'll probably be a February thread starting up soon too.

Will tag everyone I can see below... please join if I missed you!

@AmberRH1993 it really is! I really hope it's dark by Tuesday!! I hope I can resist the urge to test 🤣

I felt super tired 2 days ago but assumed it's normal I slept late. Well last night I slept super late and woke up at 7am wide awake so didnt know what to think 🤣

rmummyofone · 21/01/2022 19:06

@Desperatelyboredhousewife thank youuu!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!

Sounds promising though. I had the same ewcm for a few days post ovulation! I hope you get that bfp xx

TheBirdintheCave · 21/01/2022 20:59

The two from earlier but they've dried obv so I can't count these anymore 🤣
I only held for 3 hours so the test I've just taken is not as visible as those were :(

This is fantastic 🎉 praying this is it @rmummyofone ❤️
TheBirdintheCave · 22/01/2022 08:06

@rmummyofone I wouldn’t be able to wait that long! If I got a line like that I’d be doing a FRER with the next lot of FMU I got! You have way more willpower than me haha.

MrsKey2020 · 22/01/2022 08:30

I tested this morning BFN 😞 fingers crossed for next month 🙏🏻

arianasky · 22/01/2022 09:44

@rmummyofone I can see it too, eee exciting and happy birthday 🥳

Gizzy93 · 22/01/2022 11:16

Well, that was weird.
My AF started with spotting on 16DPO, then a light bleed for about 24 hours, then back to heavy spotting. Only a little bit going onto my pads, but a fair bit when I wipe.
It was also like EWCM, but bright red when it was 'heavier', and now it's just very watery.
Super strange.

CatLady1994 · 22/01/2022 11:24

Well, I think I'm out this month. 12DPO and my test this morning was a BFN. There's a hint of a line IRL but pretty sure it's just an indent, and my DH can't see a thing! I've attached a pic of the test so let me know if you see anything that I can't! Had some more spotting this morning too so thing AF is on her way ☹️

@CatLady1994 I see the faintest line!!

TheBirdintheCave · 22/01/2022 14:29

@CatLady1994 I see it too. This is what my chemical looked like last month. I hope it’s just a slow burner for you! X

CatLady1994 · 22/01/2022 17:58

@TheBirdintheCave
@rmummyofone

Thanks both - unfortunately AF turned up in full force this afternoon (2 days early!!!) so it must have just been an indent. Fingers crossed for next month!

AmberRH1993 · 22/01/2022 18:03

It's interesting.. I took this photo yesterday of my frer before doing the test and the indentation line is very strong so I can imagine them being very convincing.

TheBirdintheCave · 22/01/2022 18:28

@AmberRH1993 Interesting! I’ve never had an indent line on a FRER before and I’ve taken so many of them haha. They’re the gold standard for me.

[quote TheBirdintheCave]@AmberRH1993 Interesting! I’ve never had an indent line on a FRER before and I’ve taken so many of them haha. They’re the gold standard for me.[/quote]
I thought so too! I read on the threads that someone said recently the frers have an indent before even testing so I checked it for myself and there it was.. Wondering if its on all frers or maybe some batches only.
