Hey ladies,

Thought I would create a thread for those testing towards the end of Nov/early December.

I'm CD2, TTC first baby. On cycle 5.

fingers crossed for us all!

I’ve taken another FRER this morning and the line is really faint 😢 I feel like this isn’t good. I’ll never test early again after this 🙁

@Laul89 how many dpo are you lovely? Sorry if you’ve already said and I’ve missed it! Xx

Laul89 · 18/11/2022 09:22

@ChloeN im not entirely sure as I only started using OPKs this month.. I tested once a day from 1st-8th Nov (CD15-CD22) and they were all negative to I assumed I’d ovulated earlier or missed it! My app predicted ovulation on the 4th but I had EWCM from around 30th Oct - 2nd Nov!
AF is due tomorrow so I assumed my line would be darker by now 🙁 it seems the same as Mondays if not a little lighter 🥴

Bookworm9319 · 18/11/2022 10:58

10DPO here and BFN. I kind of always think if it’s a negative at 10DPO on a FRER then I’m out - which I know is silly and it’s still really early! Just going to enjoy my weekend. Have a half day today so setting up on the couch for lots of Netflix.

ChloeN · 18/11/2022 11:08

@Laul89 you could of defo missed the peak during those days you test by only doing once a day anyway so I guess it quite hard to know! But yes I get what you mean I’d probably be thinking it should be a nice clear line by now xxx

@Bookworm9319 Im the same but I really don’t think it does mean you’re out!! Sounds like a perfect afternoon❤️

Roxybabe · 18/11/2022 11:15

@Laul89 don’t panic hun! You don’t know hat DPO you are, you might be super early! Like @ChloeN said, you may have missed your peak! You still have a positive test and HCG can take a couple of days to double! Retest again when AF is due!! X

@ChloeN @Roxybabe thank you so much for your replies and reassurance. I wish I’d been more patient and not tested early cos it definitely causes more stress 🤣 I have a clear blue coming tomorrow but don’t want to waste it so might buy some cheapies for over the weekend and use the clear blue on Monday if AF still hasn’t arrived! Due tomorrow!

Hope everyone else is doing well ❤️

BCxx · 18/11/2022 13:04

@Laul89 as others have said it could be so many things, I think water can majorly change your result when you’re early. Try to drink nothing after dinner tonight and it should be dark again first thing 🤞🏼

@Bookworm9319 i assumed the same but last time I got a negative on a FRER at 11dpo and wrote the month off then got a positive the next day!

Ah well I think it’s still a definite positive! TTC is so so stressful! Maybe give it a couple of days and test again?

BHER · 18/11/2022 13:56

Is this where everyone is!
Hello everyone,
I was so sure i was pregnant this time. I think i Ovulated saturday 5th november . AF was due yesterday (17th november) and I started bleeding 😪 oddly though its very very light compared to normal. Taken a few tests all say negative but they were all very out of date 😅 feel like I'm clutching at straws and need to accept AF is here and I'm not pregnant.

Roxybabe · 18/11/2022 14:54

@Laul89 if you read all the advice online they all say try not to test until the first day of your missed period!! So the fact your period isn’t even due yet would suggest it’s still early and therefore a fainter line is to be expected! Positive vibes and keep us posted ❤️

Aprilsunnyday · 18/11/2022 15:06

@Laul89 yes I really agree with @Roxybabe, we all tend to test early and get stressed. However a positive is a positive and you can feel happy for that. Don't think the line progresses at same rate for everyone and some don't test positive until DPO 15 plus, feel relieved and pls send us pregnancy dust too. X😊

Roxybabe · 18/11/2022 15:36

@bher I do this every month when my period arrives, ‘what if it’s IB?!’ … well I really hope it is for you but if it’s not big hugs! It’s so shit isn’t it 😔

3DPO today and feeling ok, it’s always the second week of TWW where I go a little crazy 😩😂 Does anybody else start the TWW relatively positive and then as it nears an end the negative thoughts kick in and you convince yourself you’re out?! I always do this.

I'm literally doing this right now. 10dpo, BFN this morning but my boobs are still on fire! We're not out til we're out 😊

JuniperandI · 18/11/2022 16:02

@Roxybabe me! I've convinced myself that I'm out this month 😑

marleyandme · 18/11/2022 16:12

@Roxybabe its my first month and only about 3 DPO but I've convinced myself I'm out already 😂 I think it's protecting myself from seeing a BFN by convincing myself that it'll be that!

Laul89 · 18/11/2022 16:36

@BCxx @AliceD7 @Roxybabe @Aprilsunnyday thanks so much ladies. So grateful for this thread as I would normally stress to my Mam about things but I don’t want to mention anything to her until we know for sure 🥺 you have all been a great support and it’s lovely to have others who are in the same boat!
Feeling VERY crampy now but no AF so far.. I’ll keep you all updated over the next few days and I’m sending lots and lots of positive thoughts & baby dust to you all 🤞🏼❤️✨

AliceD7 · 18/11/2022 17:30

Today and yesterday, a couple of times when I have been to the toilet, when I wipe the tissue is a very pale pink. It’s not every time. I’d upload a picture but I don’t want to gross anybody out ha! I am not due AF until 25th. I am am hoping this is a good sign!

Anybody else having any symptoms?

Lialii · 18/11/2022 17:47

About to start testing. I'm 7/8 DPO today. Might test tomorrow. In all my previous pregnancies the test was positive at 9DPO.

I've been pregnant three times, my daughter back in 2013, then a CP earlier this year, then sadly a miscarriage (mmc at around 8 weeks, discovered at 10+5). This is the first cycle trying after the miscarriage.

Knov20 · 18/11/2022 19:20

@AliceD7 I had this yesterday and then this morning woke up to more bleeding. I think must be my period but I'm also not due until another 6 days! I'm gutted

Awww hopefully it isn’t! I had my smear this week so I don’t know if maybe it’s something to do with that! Fingers are crossed and hopefully this is our month! Xx

Aixenprov · 18/11/2022 20:16

Month 2, cycle day 33. Tested at cycle day 26 and BFN. Today... 😱

I’ve just had this tonight! 3 times when I’ve been to the toilet a very pale pink.. not CM just watery on the tissue 🤔 nothing in my underwear.. confusing me even more. Think it’s too late for implantation bleeding for me.. but you might be at the right time of your cycle for it to be that?! 🤞🏼
