@ElleJones1 exact same ! I think I love the excitement then it becomes almost addictive and then sad if it's the wrong answer !! I am going to only allow myself next round 1x pack of frer and the rest the 75p cheapies . The expensive only to be used 10dpo! The money I've spent is just crazy !!! Xx

OMG I know, my partner goes nuts with what I spend! Whoops! But then he did get involved, when I had a faint line, he weed on one just to see if the pack was all rubbish! xx
I don't wanna count myself out fully, just seems easier to do it rather than hang on xx

@90mamabear it really made me think about all my early testing and how ridiculous it has been!! xx Could have spent that money on something lovely!

You know, that's a nice way to put it. There's a perfume I absolutely love but cannot afford, but I know I've spent at least that on pregnancy tests over the last year. I think I'm going to make some sort of spreadsheet and calculate how much I would save if I didn't do the test yet, and eventually I might be able to get my perfume. That website is nice, it's really non-judgemental, I like that.

@90mamabear sorry to hear you are out this cycle, but you have a really positive outlook, you are getting ready for your next cycle, and getting everything cleared to be nice and soft and cosy next month ☺️

Swiftie12 · 28/03/2023 15:03

@90mamabear @ElleJones1 i think I’ll be back to CD1 soon as well. Not thrilled about it but tbh I just want to be on next cycle so we can try again now. My DH is convinced there’s something wrong with him (he has a varicosile on one of his πŸ’) so he’s got a doctors appointment on Friday just to check it as he’s convinced that’s the problem. Tbh I’ve always suspected I’ve got endo so I’m convinced it’s me. We’re so early in our journey though that we could just be unlucky so far.

90mamabear · 28/03/2023 15:12

@falsepositivenervous thank you so much πŸ’•πŸ’•! Such kind words :)

Gahhh I don't believe it the shadows turned into a line! AF due Thursday praying it sticks!!

Good luck to all of you πŸ₯°

Mama Bear when are you testing again the cm sounds like a good sign!

OMGGG @Pbubz Super congratulations!!!!! This is the first time I've joined a TWW club and this is so heartwarming to see!! xx

TulipVictory · 28/03/2023 17:39

@90mamabear to be honest I think it was fainter than this at first and when I had another look half an hour later it was like this πŸ€”

Babyhopeful23 · 28/03/2023 19:52

@Pbubz woohoo!!!! Great news! πŸ‘

I caved and tested, BFN!! I’m having a really emotional day. Crying loads which is all my PMS symptoms. I then spent the last hour adjusting my dates etc. on that pregnancy test calculator to see if perhaps if tested too early etc. and now I realise I’ve completely lost my marbles.
I just know AF is around the corner, so the day it arrives I’m going to order the easy at home ovulation kit so I can get some accuracy as I’m not even sure if I ovulated this month.

Best of luck to everyone waiting to test and hang in there, you can do it!!!

HA01 · 28/03/2023 21:03

90mamabear · 28/03/2023 13:42

Hi ladies just a wee update !! Af has arrived 3 days early πŸ™ƒ! Full swing ! Do you know I'm almost relieved because I think deep down I knew I wasn't and I'm glad to just get going with another cycle if that makes sense ? x x ! I'm still so excited to see how this round goes for all of you πŸ’•

@90mamabear sorry to hear you are out this month but I understand that relief when you're happy to just know for certain instead of the daily ups and downs of hope balloons..! I have a strong feeling I'll be there too by tomorrow or day after

Thank you! This was my first month using easy at home opk strips and they definitely helped with timing, I ovulated 2 days earlier than I thought I had in previous months using clear blue digital with that stupid flashing smiley face!!

Wishing you all the best of luck and I know it's cliche but you're not out until the witch shows!!

ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 07:15

Why do we do it to ourselves?? 😭 negative on CB this morning so wasn’t satisfied so did FRER….. but these always seem to sting me! Could this finally be the start? 10dpo….. was in the time frame! Xx

8dpo - let's make a tww club :)
ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 07:23

So I went back to check the CB
super faint but it is there!

falsepositivenervous · 29/03/2023 07:44

I see a faint line on both @ElleJones1! 10dpo seems reasonable, if you're able to wait, do a cheapie tomorrow, and save your good tests for a day or so at least and hopefully the line will be much stronger!!

ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 08:01

@falsepositivenervous thank you! The FRER was in the time frame and the CB was unfortunately 20 mins later....... I just don't know πŸ˜ͺxx

Swiftie12 · 29/03/2023 08:39

@ElleJones1 the FRER looks good. Crossing my fingers for you!! I’m 12DPO now and just waiting for AF as I don’t want to get my hopes up again.

90mamabear · 29/03/2023 10:17

@ElleJones1 that is pos !! That frer is the same as mine from last year ! I'm almost certain! Oh I hope so much for u xxx

@ElleJones1 here's a pic of mine 9dpo last year pos!My ds!! It took to 12dpo to get any darker x and I was certain of ovulation due to lab sensitive testing .

@ElleJones1 a digi picked mine up same day you could try? I was shocked that it did as the like was so faint ! Have you any symptoms ?

OP posts:
NWnature · 29/03/2023 10:28

Aww @ElleJones1 that def looks really promising!! Fingers crossed.

I tested on a cheap strip yesterday at 9DPO and got a BFN. I know it’s early but absolutely gutted. Going to leave it til tomorrow then give it another go. Don’t feel remotely pregnant but I was feeling hopeful as we used preseed and did SMEP except the last day.

ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 10:42

@NWnature I'm sorry, it's still v v early to be fair so don't give up complete hope xx
@90mamabear I'm gonna do another one tomorrow and I'll keep you posted xx
I've had cramps but I'm taking progesterone so that could be causing that and I've had two episodes of very light discharge/blood...... who knows!

Swiftie12 · 29/03/2023 10:57

@ElleJones1 everything crossed for you!

I kind of wish I’d used my FRER this morning but trying to hold off for Friday/Saturday if AF doesn’t arrive. I went back to my test from yesterday morning as it’s now dry and low and behold there’s a line. These easy at homes are giving me such trust issues. The ones I wee on dry with lines, the control ones (water, DH) dry BFN. Woke up horribly bloated this morning which flo then came up on it’s own to tell me is a symptom. I’m absolutely knackered and now starving. Just want either good news or AF at this point to put me out of my misery πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 11:06

Honestly, throw away the easy at home ones, I have. I've had lines on practically all of them! Hold out and use the FRER xx

HA01 · 29/03/2023 11:07

I'm at 11dpo today and got a negative on FRER but I feel so weird - I feel more nauseous and my boobs are so sore esp in the evenings and night and I couldn't sleep last night (but that could be the result of my obsessive symptom spotting)

Am I out? I think I am... but it really feels like something

ElleJones1 · 29/03/2023 11:10

I didn't get a positive last time until after my AF was due so not completely! Hold out a little longer xx

I'm in the same boat as you, although am two days behind (8dpo). Also did SMEP, and used preseed. I was testing with opk's too. I don't feel pregnant at all, I feel like I normally do at this stage of my cycle (not that I would know what feeling pregnant at this stage would be like). Was having cramps at like 3dpo, but now nothing. Literally no indication of implantation.
When will you test next? When is your period expected to start? I have short cycles and mine is expected on the 4th April. I'm going to test on Sunday/Monday (I'm also probably going to buy some cheapies to do on Friday). About a month ago I dreamed I had a positive test, but it was on a first response test, and I only have one left, so I'm saving it until I would definitely get a positive if I was pregnant πŸ˜‚
