Testing around 14th May

[41andtryingforfirst]

Hey peeps ovulated today - anyone in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in mid May? Thought we could do the 2ww together x

well I will keep you company as I’m sat here doing the same with FRER! Was convinced I had the beginnings of a BFP last night, thought an extra night would surely mean a positive FRER so I’m a bit gutted.

So many bfp's! Congrats ladies! 🎉🎉🎉

@LemonZestDribbles have you caved and tested like me..? 😂

So happy for you all with the the BFP's! Wonderful news 🥰

@Chlo1995 how are you feeling?

I was almost CERTAIN I had conceived this month. But my mind (and body!) was obviously playing tricks. AF came for me this morning 😔

Congratulations everyone on the BFPs! For everyone who AF caught out this month, sending you all hugs!

@Chlo1995 I got a BFN at 10dpo yesterday and felt very similar - I found this article very helpful to know that it might just be too early and that most people don’t get a BFP at this stage - www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When-can-I-expect-a-positive-HPT-if-I-am-pregnant.html

Feeling down, another 2 week cycle and no ovulation, GP is referring me for laparoscopy as thinks I have Endometriosis, you spend so many years trying to avoid pregnancy you don't realise what your bodies doing 😩

@Organictangerine & @S0220 I’m honestly so gutted, my spotting has stopped which is unusual for me when it’s before af because usually it just goes straight to a period there’s no stopping in between, the spotting has been dark brown too which is also odd for me x

@Amber17 Thank you for this, I’ll have a read when I get home from work… it’s honestly so bizarre, because for some reason I honestly still don’t feel like af is coming, I’ve felt very off today, I usually feel a bit nauseous before af anyway but today has been a lot of different things I don’t tend to get before, I just can’t shake the feeling that I’ve still got a chance😬x

How odd Chlo. Sorry I can’t remember if you’ve tested and what CD or dpo you are? Is it worth testing anyway?

@Organictangerine no worries! I’m 11dpo (as far as I’m aware😂) I tested yesterday morning and had what I thought was a faint positive, a couple of my friends and a few on another site I posted to saw it too so I knew it wasn’t just me but this morning completed negative! I’ve been having brown spotting on and off literally since an hour after yesterday’s test😬 the spotting has stopped now though and I’m not cramping which is bizarre because I usually get them bad when af is due🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m very confused😂x

Ohhh. So just as confused as me with my faint positive test followed by negative FRER 😂 I know I should wait another couple of days but I may or may not have just popped to Superdrug for more tests.. although I’ve told myself that next cycle the madness has to stop and I need to wait for my period etc. So hard!

@Organictangerine you're not the only one! I’ve just been to boots and bought more, as if I don’t have enough stashed away already😂 my period is due tomorrow but I wouldn’t be surprised if it came late! My cycle can vary by a few days and the last 2 have been 31 days, but the cycle before that it was 35! Absolute nightmare, I’d just rather it come now and then I’m not second guessing everything x

Let me know how it goes Chlo!
I feel irrationally defeated given this is cycle number 1. I conceived DD on cycle 1 so I guess part of me expected the same again although we only DTD once this cycle!

I will do! I honestly tried not to get in my own head this time, I feel we may have missed it because we dtd on peak day and a few random days throughout my cycle so I can’t imagine it’ll be a great outcome but we can hope x

@Organictangerine I can see it on the non-frer test. Worth another try in the morning?

@Chlo1995 very frustrating. Hopefully it wasn't a chemical :(

I was going to wait until Thursday but I think I'll test again the morning and see what's what 🤞

I’ve got more FRER arriving tomorrow by Amazon prime so I will aim for tomorrow evening after a looooong hold. My mother in law told me about the ‘olden days’ before home tests, they had to skip 2 periods to get a test at the doctors. To think I’m stressing about having to wait until 12dpo 😆

Evening all,

So lovely to catch up on everyones news :)

Congratulations to all of the BFP's and my love and hugs to those that haven't had that news yet.

I've had terribly sore boobs and felt very bloated and niggly. My period isn't due until the 14th but I've tested tonight....
I'm only 10dpo at this stage. I haven't even said anything to my DH yet.

I hope the picture I'm attaching comes up.

@IsThisRealLife12 I can’t see the photo- can you try again?

Hey, it seems the image won't attach. Does anyone know any other way please?

Hoping that link will work

Yes I see it!!!! Have you done a more ‘official’ test?

Not yet, my period isn't due until the end of the week so I was going to do one then. According to my dates, I'm barely 3 weeks so I'm a bit surprised the strip test has picked it up this soon.
Are these tests less accurate? I'm trying not to get too wrapped up in premature excitement, especially because I had a miscarriage in March.

I’m surprised that a strip test would pick up that early as I usually read about only FRER picking up at 10dpo or before. But on 2 tests it would be a coincidence if they were both false positives!
