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!

@Charl881 I do se a vvvfl. Fingers crossed AF doesn't show.

I've promised myself not to test till Friday now on a cheapy

@TheBirdintheCave not sure I see a line on either but could just be my eyes! Hopefully a digital will give you a clearer answer x

Good morning 😁

@Charl881 I see it 🥳 may be time to break out the FRER.

I got a bfn on a cheapie this morning so I'm out af is due on Friday. I've always had a bfp by now in all my pregnancies. I'm not sure if my cycle will be a bit wonky after the mc last month but we'll see.

stuntbubbles · 23/02/2022 09:14

@Charl881 I can 100% see that and if the camera can too, it’s real. Get a FRER!

I’ve got nothing on my one step at 12dpo, and a massive headache so expecting AF tomorrow now. ☹️

Charl881 · 23/02/2022 09:20

@stuntbubbles FRER was very much negative this morning so I’m not holding out much hope!

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 09:24

Managed a better pic of the cheapie. I wish the FRERs didn’t have the stupid plastic window 🤦🏻‍♀️

Obsessive testers welcome!
stuntbubbles · 23/02/2022 09:29

@Charl881 FRER are so rude, how dare they. I’m sorry, I had high hopes for you based on that cheapie!

@TheBirdintheCave FRER don’t actually have a plastic window, the strip itself is reflective and plasticky as I found out when I broke open a test, levelling up to the next echelon of POAS madness… I can’t see anything on your cheapie but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there – cameras and internet always lose lines a bit. How many DPO?

allthingssparkly · 23/02/2022 09:51

I'm SO nervous, should I be testing with a pregnancy test sooner than this weekend?

These two OPK's I've done this morning one around 8am and the other at 9.45am and they're such strong lines in comparison to the one I did yesterday afternoon which I uploaded to this thread! 😬

Help a girl out 🙈

@allthingssparkly I would always encourage you to go do a pregnancy test 🙈

Charl881 · 23/02/2022 09:55

I would test because if it’s negative then it might be you’re having another late surge and youll want to get DTD again!

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 09:56

@stuntbubbles Oh really? How frustrating. I guess it's so it doesn't get damaged? :/ And yeah I promise it's there IRL and it's a faint pink too or well, mauve, now that it's dried lol.

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 09:57

@allthingssparkly Yes, do it! Do it now so we can live vicariously through you :D

stuntbubbles · 23/02/2022 09:58

@allthingssparkly I would test and DTD, cover all bases Grin There is another LH surge right before AF, though – so positive OPKs aren’t always a pregnancy sign. Fx for you though.

allthingssparkly · 23/02/2022 09:59

@BuchananBaby I've just ordered some from Amazon, they're coming tomorrow so I'll do one once they arrive 😊

@Charl881 Ahh that's true, will do! 🤭🤭

Charl881 · 23/02/2022 10:03

@TheBirdintheCave I can’t see anything on the cheapy sorry! But cameras aren’t the best at capturing them always. It’s so frustrating isn’t it, I just want a yes/ no answer straight away so I don’t waste time and money analysing tests. I always feel so stupid for how many tests I’ve squinted at when AF turns up!

allthingssparkly · 23/02/2022 10:03

@stuntbubbles Maybe it's another surge, I don't know? 🙈 My cycles are 29 days long, so unless I ovulate towards the end? As I'm CD21 today and my cycles are super regular 😊

I was so lucky with my other two I never had to do any ovulation tracking it happens super quick so it's new to me 🙈

User65412 · 23/02/2022 10:14

@calimc83 I'm like this! I justify it by saying I could have ovulated early 😂
My frers arrived this morning as I was leaving the house so I quickly did a tiny wee on one and there was a line - I am in shock. I've just looked again though an hour later and it's gone - what's that all about?! Anyone had the same? Wish I'd taken a picture!

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 10:19

@User65412 Is it definitely gone or has it just dried paler?

stuntbubbles · 23/02/2022 10:22

@User65412 Were you watching the test in the 3 minutes waiting time? You may have seen the dye temporarily pooling in the test line as it passed through, but it didn’t actually collect there. I try not to watch tests, but instead put them aside until the alarm on my phone goes off, otherwise I get excited at the dye “pausing” as it passes over the test area.

Charl881 · 23/02/2022 10:24

@stuntbubbles do you think I’m out since FRER was negative? 10dpo

stuntbubbles · 23/02/2022 10:27

@Charl881 You’re not out til AF shows. Definitely 10dpo? Do you have a pic of the FRER for us to squint at? I only truly count myself out at 12dpo – the only time I’ve had a FRER turn positive as late as that it’s been a chemical. But 11dpo is still all to play for and the first day you’d show if you implanted at 9dpo, I think.

Charl881 · 23/02/2022 10:39

@stuntbubbles there is a chance I could be 9dpo but pretty sure I had ovulation pains 11 days ago which would make me 10dpo. Had my positive ovulation test on evening of 12th Feb.

I didn’t take a pic as it was so obviously negative. Both times I’ve been pregnant I’ve had clear positives at 12dpo but didn’t test early either time so no comparison.

User65412 · 23/02/2022 11:24

@thebirdinthecave I don't know now - wondering if I'm imagining it but maybe there's something?!
@stuntbubbles thanks for that! Useful to know. Yes I definitely looked before the 3 mins when I first saw it but it was still there 10 mins later. About half an hour after that it was gone 😭
@allthingssparkly I did an ovulation test the last time was I pregnant out of curiosity and it was a v strong positive which is normally wouldn't be for at that point in the cycle. Definitely worth dtd though just incase!

allthingssparkly · 23/02/2022 11:29

@User65412 So, do you think it was picking up your HCG levels? When you OPK tested when pregnant? or did you not know you were pregnant at the time of doing the OPK? Will certainly DTD later 🤭🤭

User65412 · 23/02/2022 11:35

@allthingssparkly Yes I knew I was pregnant. Here's the pic! 2 cheapie and an opk and this resulted in my little girl last year. Obviously I'm not saying this means you're pregnant and I'm a crazy line lady so don't trust a thing I say.
Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. No idea how you can wait til then 😂
