@MrsJGrealish yeah you can have it added in can’t you, I guess for people who want more contrast. I don’t mind it with a bit of root but then it gets to the point where it’s like a straight band around my head 😂

Anyone used these tests?
Clear Blue Easy to Read
Clear Blue Ultra Early Digital...

I used both today (honest I've not won the lottery...) as after looking at pictures of my 10 and 11DPO FRER tests I can 100% see something but I'm not sure if it was shadow or...whatever.

The CB easy to read definitely has a cross in the test box, the second line is faint but it's there and it came up right away. It's just hard to tell the colour with it being a blue dye test. I done it after a 4 hour hold maybe but I wasn't "needing" when I went.

The CB digital (which is apparently more sensative) came up not pregnant. Done after half hour or 40 mins from the above because I am ridiculously impatient...

Both tests can be done from 5 days before your period is due. I'm due in 2 or 3 days.

With the CB easy to read being so faint at 12dpo I wondering if it's caught another CP 😔 and if the digital just hasn't picked it up cos I had very little pee to give it.

bringmearainbow · 09/02/2023 15:56

@OnNaturesCourse I've used a cb ultra early digital before but it was a faulty test I got the book symbol 🤦🏼‍♀️ I looked up the sensitivity of them in dec and it's 10miu. I'm more of a frer girl than cb. But likely you didn't have enough concentration for the digital if it wasn't a long hold. Have you got pics?

LuckyMoonstone · 09/02/2023 15:59

We can look at pics if you like

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 16:02

@LuckyMoonstone I have an undercut too. Although I have fine hair there's a lot of it. I think if you mess about with your parting it doesn't look as obvious? (Says me who goes every 8 weeks😂) The covid lockdown was a bloody mare. I toned my own hair and got DH to do the undercut 🙈 spent a pure fortune on eBay

@OnNaturesCourse can you show us pictures? Don't worry I post negatives a lot 🧐

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 16:06

Ooh also someone is down with covid in work. I woke up at 4am last night with intense body ache so I may have a reason for feeling so unwell. Testing negative atm 🤞

OnNaturesCourse · 09/02/2023 16:08

I can't get a decent picture where I am just now (sat in the car, folk walking past might think I'm nuts lol)

Its super faint. Definitely would expect it to be clearer. Plus its sensativity is 25ml or something so the digital surely would have picked something up

LuckyMoonstone · 09/02/2023 16:26

Could you write off todays and start fresh tomorrow with FMU and an early response test if you can get one?

OnNaturesCourse · 09/02/2023 16:32

I fully intend to forget todays tests, and refuse to look at the others stored on my app from now onwards.

I have a FRER which I will use probably in the early hours / overnight. I have a few events over the weekend starting Friday so I'd like to know before then if possible.

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 09/02/2023 16:56

@OnNaturesCourse I'd advise to stick with strip tests and repeat again tomorrow with FMU x FRERS are notoriously bad for indents/evaps.
@LuckyMoonstone @MrsJGrealish yup, the upkeep of blonde is crazy 😳

OnNaturesCourse · 09/02/2023 17:53

I have had trouble with FRERS lately. Shame as they used to be good.

Re blonde hair - it's one colour I have never managed to stick with and all because of the upkeep. I've been every colour you can think of aswell. Kudos to everyone you manages the upkeep!

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 18:42

@OnNaturesCourse but we have more fun? (Says me writing on a internet thread with strangers) 😂

OnNaturesCourse · 09/02/2023 19:04

Last time I was blonde I was 21/22 so 100% more fun 😂

calimc83 · 09/02/2023 19:34

@bringmearainbow yeah see how u feel tomorrow...no pressure at all..that chart looks really good! And your temp is going up which is super promising! 😍 xx

calimc83 · 09/02/2023 19:36

@OnNaturesCourse everything crossed for a positive Frer! xx

LuckyMoonstone · 09/02/2023 19:47

@bringmearainbow sorry I meant to say that I also think your temps look good!

FfoxRedN · 09/02/2023 21:13

@bringmearainbow I find FF the most reliable for temping, although it can take a few days to put the bullseye on. Your chart looks great, whenever you decide to test just know I'm thinking of you 🥰

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

@OnNaturesCourse hope tomorrow it's more clear so you may get a more certain answer xx

pangolin84 · 09/02/2023 21:22

Finally used my last pregnancy test this morning and I can’t believe how anxious I was. 🙈 It came up with 3+ and I think I’m 5+2 today so that’s about right. I’m going to be a gibberish wreck if I make it as far a getting an early scan.
Still nothing in the way of symptoms other than a dry mouth.

TheBirdintheCave · 09/02/2023 21:40

Well I tried to stay away but I apparently can't and I was just silently reading the thread to see if @bringmearainbow tested 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Your temps looks so promising 😬😬

Husband booked our appointment for Monday at 3pm. AF is due tomorrow. I bought some E@H and used one today. Got a faint line which unfortunately I think is residual HCG as it's far too faint to be anything viable at 13dpo.

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 21:41

@pangolin84 you got this ❤️ I've been waking mid sleep like 3/4 times a night with a dry mouth. I didn't know this was s symptom 😳 literally I have 3 kids. Learn something new every day

TheBirdintheCave · 09/02/2023 21:42

Congrats on your 3+ @pangolin84 !

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 21:42

@TheBirdintheCave hi lovely! U ok? Xx

monsteramunch · 09/02/2023 21:43

So lovely to see your name pop up @TheBirdintheCave Flowers

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 21:55

@TheBirdintheCave I think we expect way too much from tests before AF due. In my day (cringe) you were lucky to get a positive a day before and even then it was hit or miss 🤷‍♀️

pangolin84 · 09/02/2023 22:00

@MrsJGrealish Feels like I’ve been licking a hedgehog 🤢
