Hello ladies!
No matter how early it is, no matter how many symptoms you have or don't have drop your tests below and let us make a testing group and be each other's eyes.

I will test on Monday, which is the day AF is to arrive (... unless I'm just too curious and test during the weekend).

Baby dust to all of you!

@miattc2 did another FRER yesterday and that was stark white so I'm guessing all the others were evap lines 😞 17dpo today and I must say I'm getting quite fed up now👎🏻

@allthingssparkly think I'm just going to go with the flow like you and try to enjoy myself through this! It sucks doing test after test and not seeing anything!

@babybird20 don't worry, there is still time yet! As long as AF isn't here then you're still in the game 😊

How is everyone doing today? X

allthingssparkly · 14/03/2022 09:09

@Shansmith1412 the less stressed I am about ttc the better. I've not been on contraception for well over 18 months so I know it's just a case of having sex at the time I'm most fertile. I'm going to go off my cervical mucus this cycle as that is a good indicator as to when your most fertile of can be! So we shall just see 😊

Do you think your periods are maybe taking a while to regulate after coming off contraception?

Shansmith1412 · 14/03/2022 09:18

@allthingssparkly think we might have to go at it like rabbits like the good old days 🤣

Maybe it is you know? Maybe I just don't want to believe it because I know I ovulated on 25th 🤷‍♀️
But there us still no sign of her showing, I had some cramping in my lower abdomen over the weekend and I thought she was going to show... but nothing? I'm just going to distract myself this week and keep my mind off it, hubby to be is singing in the shower this morning ready for the big day on Saturday 😆

allthingssparkly · 14/03/2022 09:24

@Shansmith1412 absolutely, go right back to basics forget to the OPK's and all the rest of it 🤣

🤞🤞🤞🤞

You need AF to arrive then you can start a fresh cycle, it can be a nightmare waiting for things to settle after being on contraception, I tried so many methods and none of them agreed with my body/made me bleed for weeks on end it was awful.

Enjoy your special day on Saturday 😍😍

alwaysseeingstars · 14/03/2022 10:02

Hi all, hope everyone had a good weekend?!
3DPO today... my nerves are shot already!! Trying to work and all I can think is 'hmm, wonder if I'm pregnant' and second guessing symptoms that are blatantly not there 🤣
Ooh best wishes @Shansmith1412 ! Enjoy the build up and most importantly the day, I got married a few months ago and would LOVE to go back and enjoy the time again haha!!

Shansmith1412 · 14/03/2022 17:24

@allthingssparkly it's a competition now to see what arrives first 😆
I'm glad I'm off contraception though because I was really moody and it seems to have put my uterus to sleep!!🤣

@alwaysseeingstars I was the exact same! Symptom spotting like crazy for the past 2 weeks!

And thank you both! I'm getting more and more excited now that everything is fully sorted 😊 let's hope after all the sweat and tears over the past 2 years was worth it 🤣

alwaysseeingstars · 14/03/2022 18:17

@Shansmith1412 oh it will be, just remember to relax & have fun!! x

alwaysseeingstars · 15/03/2022 09:38

How's everyone doing with their testing? Smile

Shansmith1412 · 15/03/2022 10:23

@alwaysseeingstars another evap line this morning. I'm beginning to think first response aren't that great🥴

alwaysseeingstars · 15/03/2022 11:18

@Shansmith1412 oh no Sad I don't have any experience with them (yet!) I'm afraid, I thought they weren't common though?

Shansmith1412 · 15/03/2022 11:56

@alwaysseeingstars I have no idea but the tests I did last week all seem to be evap lines🤷‍♀️

Also I know this is tmi but I've just wiped and noticed this clear sticky discharge? It's like egg whites??? Sorry for the picture but some of you might have a better indication than me as to what this means 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Brideandprejudice · 15/03/2022 16:55

11DPO for me and negativeSad

BabyBird20 · 16/03/2022 06:47

Opinions please from anyone who uses the one step ultra early! I'm 10 dpo and was convinced I'm out but have just seen this tiny shadow of a line ... do you think it could be real?

Obsessive testers welcome!
alwaysseeingstars · 16/03/2022 08:20

@BabyBird20 I can see a line!! No experience with those tests but there is definitely a line there Grin keep us posted with any more tests!
@Brideandprejudice sorry to hear that Sad - any sign of AF yet? Or another test?
@Shansmith1412 sorry, I don't know enough about it and don't appear to get EWCM - not sure if that would appear that late after Ov dependent on possible pregnancy?! Still no sign of AF I assume, have you tested since Monday?

bleachblondemom · 16/03/2022 16:39

Can I join? I’m not sure how many dpo as my cycles are haywire after recent MC and I’ve been struggling to track O. If I had to guess I’d say today was between 9 and 11 dpo.
Pics are yesterday FMU with a clear blue early detection. I’m going to wait until tomorrow FMU to test again, or maybe Friday if I can resist!
I could see a little something in real life, but more so in the pics with a few lighting adjustments.

@alwaysseeingstars just done another test and negative again. Not had anymore of that discharge either since that day. I'm super confused 😕

@bleachblondemom I can see a very faint line, try again in a couple of days to see if it gets any darker.

@babybird20 I can see a line too! Definitely keep us up to date!

BabyBird20 · 17/03/2022 06:36

Thanks @Shansmith1412 and @alwaysseeingstars , I ran and got some ultra early cb digitalis which confirmed it! Now just got to make it past Sunday (af due day!) before I'll let myself start to believe it! Will be obsessively testing more than ever I reckon!

alwaysseeingstars · 17/03/2022 08:10

@BabyBird20 huge congratulations!! That must be so wonderful to have it confirmed - keeping fingers crossed for you xx
@Shansmith1412 sorry it was another negative, not sure if it's been asked if you're normally regular? Sorry if I've missed/forgotten. 2 days till the big day though, you must be so excited!!!
@bleachblondemom fingers crossed for you that the tests progress, keep us updated!

Shansmith1412 · 17/03/2022 08:36

@babybird20 congratulations!!!😊 eeekk I bet this is super exciting for you🥺

@alwaysseeingstars no idea at the moment. Came off the implant 14th Feb and during the 6 years if having it I had no periods what so ever and still no period since removal! It's driving me insane!

I am getting more and more excited each day, can't wait 🤗

bleachblondemom · 17/03/2022 08:48

I’ve done a frer and even changing the brightness/contrast on the photos doesn’t give me a line Sad I’m about 11dpo I think but could be 10dpo

Obsessive testers welcome!

bleachblondemom · 17/03/2022 09:41

I feel like I can see something in the second photo, here it is a bit darker

Hi guys, I have followed because “obsessive testing” is my fave thing to do.
Gave myself a break this cycle from OPK (not sure how I managed) but I have worked out I’m am roughly 10DPO AF due approx 21/22nd March.

I’ve have the worlds heaviest boobs. Agony, and so so sensitive… I haven’t had this in any of my other cycles. So I did FRER at 9DPO and this morning (10DPO) and both starkest of white…

Can’t help but feel different and wanted some positive stories for BFP later than 11DPO 😞

alwaysseeingstars · 17/03/2022 11:03

@bleachblondemom and @lottieb92 sorry about the BFN's Sad definitely still not out though - I believe it's very common to get BFP's far past your DPO's!! If anything I think it's relatively uncommon to get them that early. So fingers crossed!
@Shansmith1412 ah fair enough, I waited 7 weeks after having the coil removed before having a period, and have had nothing since then - currently CD27 and apparently 6DPO. I think they can take a while to appear/settle so please don't worry Smile

bleachblondemom · 17/03/2022 11:18

@alwaysseeingstars I hope so, I really thought I was on to something :(

Shansmith1412 · 17/03/2022 11:44

@bleachblondemom and @lottieb92 sorry to hear about you BFNs 😔 it is still early days so keep testing! I've stopped wasting my money on first response because last week for 3 days straight I had evaps. Its soooo crappy because you see the line and hope its real😞

But definitely keep testing!! I wanna see some happy mamma's to be!😁❤
