10/11 DPO need an honest opinion please

[MrsAlexander]

So to cut a long story short - cycle is usually 31-35 days however last month was the third box of Seven Seas Trying For A Baby tablets and they really did something bad to my body - that’s another story but pushed my last cycle to 45 days long as well as tortured me for 3 weeks with pregnancy like symptoms.

Anyway, I used the CB ovulation kit to test as usual - morning of the 16th is was high but tested again in the early evening and it was peak. DTD twice that afternoon and also 12th and 13th. Would that mean DPO start the 17th? In theory if I didn’t test again in the afternoon of the 16th I wouldn’t have been known until the 17th anyway… (all the questions swirling around in my head right now 🧐)

Anyway, I think I’m 10 or 11DPO on that basis - both photos were taken within the 5 mins waiting time. If I presume this cycle would have been 31 days long (my shortest that I have) then I’m four days before AF minimum. I’m 37, no living children, MC and MMC under my belt like sadly many of us and petrified of another. Does this look normal to you if you’ve had similar circumstances? I’ve NEVER tested this early but I just felt like “I knew” this time. It’s been soooo different to anything ever before and I’m keeping this from DP - until I feel I know more which is killing me but I don’t want to get his hopes up 🫤

All thoughts welcome please ♥️ x

Hey, I’d guess you were only 10dpo if you didn’t get your peak until the 16th, ovulate on 17th and the 18th be 1dpo? But I can see lines anyway on the ones marked 10 and 11 so looks like a good sign☺️ fingers crossed for you xx

Hi @MrsAlexander are your tests one step? I’ve attached mine from 11dpo.yours look similar to me. It is only beginning to get darker now at 14dpo. good luck!

Thanks @ChloeN - the whole thing js nerve wracking no matter your circumstances but this has worried me so much.

That's amazing @Amyjones86 - I really appreciate you sharing that with me as it's made me feel so much better. How dark are yours now? It's been awful keeping this from him but I have made something for when I feel sure, I can then tell him x

They are One Step btw @Amyjones86

I never got lines like that on OneStep unless I was pregnant.

That's good to know @TimeforZeroes - these are all I've ever used as well as CB Digital but I'm holding off on the bad boy for a couple more days for fears of disappointment. I think at this point I'm just really frightened of a chemical pregnancy. I've never had one but it's a big fear 😓

That sounds lovely @MrsAlexander I really hope you get to give him the best surprise.

when are you testing again?

I tested on Sunday with a FRER at 12dpo (in photos) and then last night with a One step and it is getting a bit darker. With my son I tested all the time, but this time round I’m too nervous too! The photo has all the one steps from 11dpo to 14dpo.

Oh I forgot to mention that I got a 1-2 weeks on CB digital on Sunday 12dpo too.

I'm planning on testing the morning @Amyjones86 but I have from FRER being delivered by Amazon tonight so it's which one to do tomorrow... that, CB digital or both 😅 The faint line has made me super nervous but equally I do realise it's before my period is due so hoping that's why. Your pics have been really helpful, thank you ♥️

My lines were that faint on one steps, then a first response I got a clear positive! I think one step must be less sensitive.

Good luck fingers crossed for you 🤞

Thank you so much @eatsleeprepeat123 !

I've Amazon primed some FRER - not use those before - but I'll try in the morning. I'm hoping you're right ♥️

That’s how mine started and it took a few days to get reliably stronger but it did!

Thank you @SpicePearl - I know you shouldn't compare but I was starting to get worried that compared to others it was so much lighter.

I'll update this post with my progress over the next few days ✨

This is my test this morning, 12 DPO I think? Or 11 DPO depending on what I was asking in my original comment. The lines on the cheapies are getting the tiniest bit darker each day which is concerning but I’m trying to reassure myself with the other too 😬 I’m presuming you’d still get 1-2 weeks with CB even if it was chemical? I’m so scared of falling at the first hurdle 😓 x

Yay congrats! Defo trust the FRER and clear blue more than the one steps they are much more reliable 😊

Good luck 🤞

@eatsleeprepeat123 awww thank you. I told my other half today and he was ecstatic! I made this for him to open 🥺 it was the most wonderful moment.

Now I keep everything crossed this is our rainbow 🙏🏼

@MrsAlexander Hi there, I hope you are well, just came across this post and was happy for your bfp and hope all is well with you and baby🤗🤗
