@MrsCristiano yes do a FRER! I need a fix 😂
I've got a few spots under my jaw line and on my neck over the last couple of days which is odd for me. On my nose too but that's normal (wish it wasn't!!) Still only 9dpo for me, tww is dragging by!

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 12:19

@MamaSJ15 I might tomorrow with fmu I just can't be coping with these faint lines. I'll attach this mornings and I've nearly talked myself out of a viable pregnancy now 😩 the line is grey ffs but I'm still feeling ropey

Sorry last nights test 🙄

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 12:22

I slept in this morning 😅

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 12:36

@MamaSJ15 so in case you were thinking of testing early DONT! I'm trying to do my job but I'm dying inside 😂

MamaSJ15 · 10/08/2022 12:45

@MrsCristiano how reliable are the cheapies in relation to FRER? You got a definite line the other day, even I could see it and I'm shocking at seeing lines!
😂 I know, I'm gonna try my hardest to hold off testing!

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 12:47

@MrsCristiano it really would, I got myself so stressed out by those cheapies (thank you again for calming me down 😆) and am only getting really strong lines on them as of a few days ago!
Amazon had a deal on yesterday for 2 x CB with dates and 2 x FRER (I found it by searching for the CB ones then it came up within the product as a bundle)

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 12:56

@MamaSJ15 the spots were the first thing for me - really early!

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 13:03

@alwaysseeingstars thanks lovely xx I'll order some. It was just after wasting the clear blue I had said I wouldn't but I can't focus and need a bit of clarity. It's always different reassuring someone else but all my sense goes out the window during this time 😘

So I did that last night it looked grey and imo negative then DH came up and we DTD. I was actually keeping him at arms length in case I started bleeding but no blood at all. I'm terrified of miscarriages

MamaSJ15 · 10/08/2022 13:15

@alwaysseeingstars I have my fingers crossed it's a sign then! I have no other symptoms but I'm also taking that as a good thing because the last few cycles where I wasn't pregnant I seemed to feel everything!
@MrsCristiano it's not good when you can't concentrate on anything else!
Good sign that there's no bleeding!

Off topic, how's the weather for everyone today? It's getting hotter and I don't appreciate it 😂

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 13:23

@MrsCristiano I know it's expensive but if it puts your mind at ease it's worth it.. Good news that you didn't bleed, can't blame you for being nervous! Probably TMI but my DH literally will not DTD at the moment, he is adamant there's too much risk as it is 😂I've asked him this morning if this is going to continue the entire pregnancy but he says he just thinks things are too fragile with early pregnancy and my health issues 🙄
@MamaSJ15 honestly, I rarely get spots but my chest, neck and sides of my cheeks had loads really quickly! All gone now (hoping that's not a bad sign haha!)
Absolutely sweltering in the SW today.. they keep predicting 29/30 but every day it's going at least 3/4 degrees hotter than they say!

Tropicana1 · 10/08/2022 13:31

@MrsCristiano I'm losing my mind today as well because there really no progression in my frer yesterday to today 😭 have been peeing on cheapies loads obviously and this mornings was lighter than the one I've just done now so I feel in such a head muddle 😭 had to throw the wee away to stop myself doing a second frer of the day 🤦🏼‍♀️
Af due tomorrow or Friday, just feel like the free line should be darker at this point really

MamaSJ15 · 10/08/2022 13:31

@alwaysseeingstars oh wow yeah, hormones do all sorts to us don't they 😂 definitely don't normally get them on my neck though! Eurgh, that's not nice heat! Our forecast says about 25 I think, but we do have a bit of a sea breeze thankfully! Trying to cool down DD's bedroom for sleep though is a challenge, the sun hits her room late afternoon/evening so even keeping the blind shut doesn't help!

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 13:42

@MamaSJ15 ah beautiful, I do love the seaside. Went for a walk and some fish & chips by the sea at the weekend - was perfect weather, around 22c, sunshine and a mild breeze - bliss!
Oh that's not ideal, it's really hard with kiddies isn't it.. my sister fills hot water bottles with ice cubes and puts them in her DD's bed for a while before bedtime, she says it's not amazing but mildly effective!
@Tropicana1 loads of people don't even get BFP's till after AF is due though so I wouldn't worry? Send your latest FRER - I'm sure the ladies on here will put your mind at ease 😊Although my darkest FRER's (except for the dye stealer) were all lateish evening not morning if that helps..

Tropicana1 · 10/08/2022 13:46

@alwaysseeingstars I did wonder re late night as I got the digital positive last night and the cheapie was darker last night that this morning. Only got one frer left though until Amazon arrives tomorrow so going to try to hold off using it tonight 😂

This is todays frer and then there's the two of them together just now / lunch time cheapie

@alwaysseeingstars that does sound perfect! Although fish and chips by the seaside is a bit of a death sentence up this way, the seagulls will have them within seconds!
Surprisingly, DD seems to have slept pretty well through the hot weather, I just don't want it to get too hot. Will put the fan back in her room if needed later!

@Tropicana1 it's so hard early on isn't it. I've heard people say if you get a positive then stop testing but it's so hard! I've had a chemical and miscarriage so I know for a fact I'd be similar and keep testing and scrutinising the tests! Keep us updated 😊 love seeing tests 😂

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 14:12

@Tropicana1 I'm so glad I'm not alone!!! But obviously really sorry you are stressing too😢 I'm just checking Mumsnet instead of scripts now ffs 😅

MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 14:12

Check this check that ...fuck offfff

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 14:13

@Tropicana1 I'd try the FRER tomorrow night if you're able to wait that long!
@MamaSJ15 oh god, I'd better hide the tests then 😂

alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 14:13

@MrsCristiano 😂😂

Tropicana1 · 10/08/2022 14:18

@alwaysseeingstars that is asking a lot 🤣 not sure I've got it in me to wait that long haha

OP posts:
alwaysseeingstars · 10/08/2022 14:33

@Tropicana1 sorry I thought that's what you meant! haha if I were you I'd be using it tonight but I shouldn't be encouraging 😂

Tropicana1 · 10/08/2022 15:05

@alwaysseeingstars haha 🤣 trying to save it for tomorrow morning to at least get some 48hr clarity between yesterday test

Got some light cramping & backache which is pretty typical pre af and definitely PMS level of angry today 🤦🏼‍♀️ stay awayyy af

OP posts:
MrsCristiano · 10/08/2022 15:38

@alwaysseeingstars @MamaSJ15 the seagulls are menaces here too 😆

@Tropicana1i feel angry today too mostly just coz I can't obsess like I want to. Too many interruptions. Your cheapie looks good!

Tropicana1 · 10/08/2022 16:24

@MrsCristiano yea the cheapies alright-ish! Just was expecting better things at 11dpo / with my first I had noticeable darkinging every 24hrs with the frer's! Gah this is just all so stressful
