@Indianna2006 @bunnykins123 I've 💯 done this in the last few weeks. Got that many tests stashed away..waste not want not! 😅 fwiw the line was pretty faint...bit like a 5 week ish test would be 😆 x

@monsteramunch scrap digitals, go for FRER. They are the most sensitive and accurate! You've not let anyone down, least of all us. 💕

@MrsJGrealish how many DPO are you now?

@FfayeN oh I fe your pain. My cycles have been doing that for a while. CB ovulation sticks help as they give me a peak way before any movement on OPKs so it gives me a bit of warning. Do you get EWCM and O pains? They are accurate for me and align with opks but they usually are the last to play ball!

@calimc83 I'm amazed! I was expecting properly blazing lines!

@monsteramunch so sorry about the BFN lovely. I've also been following your symptoms. How many dpo are u again? It defo sounds like that supermarket test wasn't sensitive enough...I'd try hold off tomorrow and do a frer Weds am if u can? Xx

@bunnykins123 🧐 I know! Will see if I have anymore and might do another. Happy to post if it's not triggering for anyone? Xx

@bunnykins123

Thank you x

Is this the one you'd recommend?

@bunnykins123 6dpo... the long week 😭

@emhope I'm still here as well @30 weeks 😳. Too invested in everyone to leave...I've not joined any due date threads. Found it really triggering, I have a read through every now and then but that's about it. Hope you're feeling well in yourself? X

@bunnykins123 actually just realised I given questionable advice on pregnancy tests🙈 digital are all we sell and the website pure lies

@monsteramunch yes those are the frers

Have just ordered a couple to arrive tomorrow - sucker for punishment / clinging on to hope!

Thanks everyone 😊

@calimc83 yes I feel the same, I’ve had a look at the due date boards but I just can’t do it. Doesn’t feel right. Think I’m so convinced something will go wrong 😑 It doesn’t help that I’ve had on/off sharp pains in what feels like left ovary. Rang EPU and they booked me in for scan on Wednesday…bricking it now. Guess they worried about ectopic…just praying it’s maybe because I have a small cyst that side…

@monsteramunch that's the one! They are the best (in my opinion 😂). Easy @ Home strips are also sensitive but I think FRER are most accurate.

@MrsJGrealish it might mean nothing at all at 6dpo. Do you usually get cramps around that time?

@emhope I had that and it was just a cyst :)

@bunnykins123 yeah I do normally get fertile CM and I guess thinking about it probably did have, just not been paying attention! As soon as I saw the positive opk I felt the pains! It's like it's super speed ovulation lol. It's bang on queue which is the saving grace.

Glad to see all the familiar names still here popping back, brings a lot of hope xx

@bunnykins123 I usually cramp a lot most days after ov. Not this month just the spiky pain. Hopefully implantation because they do hurt (thank god for painkillers) but honestly not expecting a bfp. I think after this long I'd have to peel DH off the floor. 🤣

@emhope same as @TheBirdintheCave with the cyst. I was so worried I went to a@e at 6 weeks the doctor touched my stomach and i grabbed his arm and leapt in the air. He backed off instantly and sent me to epu

@MrsJGrealish @calimc83 @emhope
Totally agree about the due date threads. I had a peek at mine today and some have already got their entire nursery ready 🤯 It freaked me out so I quickly left!

@monsteramunch I'm so sorry, especially after all those symptoms! The positive is that there is no sign of AF so you are definitely not out, a FRER is the way!

Just wanted to say thanks again for all being so lovely today, I really appreciate it and it's made an upsetting evening feel more bearable.

Hope everyone has a good rest tonight and that there is good news for more of us in the coming days.

My plan, unless AF arrives, is an FRER tomorrow afternoon and then another FRER the following morning.

@monsteramunch sounds like a good plan, look after yourself tonight and try not to worry too much. We will be here with the hand holds and the support when you’re ready to test!

@monsteramunch I can only echo what @LuckyMoonstone has said. We are all with you in this 😘. I hope you manage to rest well tonight xxx

@theblueflowers they have nursery’s ready at 16 weeks 😳😳 oh wow

I haven’t thought much about it yet at 25 weeks. I have a few ideas and finally got DH to move his stuff out of spare room. As come 3rd trimester and 28 weeks I really need to attempt to turn an empty dumping ground into some sort of space.
I also have way less time with a 4 year old at weekend. We don’t get as much done. 🤣🙈

deff hasn’t felt ready to do so until then. Like you so almost feel like your tempting fate sometimes.

Much like our little safe group space here. 😍

@monsteramunch ❤️ we got ya girl 😘also can I request nobody pees on anything between the hours of 9am and 7pm tomorrow? No? I understand 😕but I'll be like 'no you cannot speak to the pharmacist she is checking mumsnet feck off' 😅 might even make the news

Haha this gave me a much needed laugh this evening 😂 We'll have to have a rota soon!

Hopefully tonight will be an out cold one not another insomnia one.

If anyone else is struggling with sleep now or in future I would really recommend The Sleepy Bookshelf podcast, it helped me feel less anxious and panicky last night enough to get at least a little sleep. Wish I'd found it sooner!

@monsteramunch sleep well 😴 💕 if I can't sleep I listen to lectures on evolution 😂 puts me right out xx
