Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@Elspeth1990 thank you!! Me and my partner have said if it doesn’t turn out to be a real period we will get tests tomorrow.
how are you doing lovely??

Elspeth1990 · 14/05/2024 20:33

@JM1997 fc for you! My scan is tomorrow eve. So nervous as I MC at 8 weeks exactly two months ago and I'm 7w 5 tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to drag all day. I've been taking aspirin so that's all I can do.

JM1997 · 14/05/2024 20:50

@Elspeth1990 thank you so much! Eeeek keeping everything crossed, good luck hunny! Let us know how it goes.

GSD2024 · 14/05/2024 21:12

@JM1997 fingers crossed 🤞🤞

@Elspeth1990 good luck tomorrow lovely, will be thinking of you x

Hey ladies, feeling deflated.... really thought I'd get up and have a much clearer line today, but this is what I've got... visible but barely... do we reckon this is a chemical????

I think I just have to sit tight and wait for AF to show up!!

How are you doing @JM1997 ? Any more bleeding?

Good luck with your scan @Elspeth1990

GSD2024 · 15/05/2024 09:58

@LoulouM12 thats exactly home my FRER looked with my son! What DPO are you? I can definitely see the lines xx

LoulouM12 · 15/05/2024 10:13

@GSD2024 - quite late at 11/12 DPO (app thinks 12 but could be 11 if ovulated a day later, as BBT took a few days to rise) - so I would expect lines to be much darker right?

Here's a question I can't seem to find an answer to - with my daughter (now 17 months) I tested negative on a Clear Blue digi early detection on the day my AF was due, thought well that's that then (wasn't really trying but was having unprotected sex), AF didn't arrive and I tested positive 3-4 days later... Never took any other tests as I was totally clueless then - easy uncomplicated pregnancy - could it be that my body is slow to produce HCG? Hence the late BFP... AND could the same thing be happening this time?

Honestly, I feel like this is me massively clutching at straws tho!! I think my lines are too faint this time sadly...

GSD2024 · 15/05/2024 11:46

@LoulouM12 this was my 11 and 12DPO with my son, so you’re definitely not clutching at straws! It could be a number of factors.

when will you test again?

5dpo today!
LoulouM12 · 15/05/2024 12:17

@GSD2024 ah OK that's really interesting and thanks for sharing, very interesting to see yours....

I'm not sure when I'll test again. I'd really like to say that I'll leave it for a couple of days as there's nothing I can do now to affect the outcome except sit tight, and all the testing and wondering is driving me a little crazy.... BUT I also know myself and I am a bit obsessive and addictive by nature! Plus I have got lots of tests in...

I will try and hold off for a couple of days I think... I will keep you posted!

Hope everyone else is doing good, hugs and baby dust to all

I had a FULL negative FRER x2 and at the same time clearer lines on other brands so I personally don't like FRER anymore haha!
Those are good lines and clear to see don't worry it takes a while to darken
I'd say get a clear blue and it could very likely show 1-2 weeks, mine did at that stage 🤞🏻🤞🏻💖

Thank you @Hannah4850 !! It's so tricky and such a rollarcoaster... I go from one minute thinking 'oooo yay this is my BFP' to thinking 'no don't get excited, they're too faint and it's probably chemical...' - time will tell! Crossing my fingers...

Thanks for the support ladies - hope everyone else is doing OK

I get it don't worry I've still got quite faint tests but 2-3 on digi tests!
One thing that might reassure you is to do an ovulation test, when I wasn't sure did one and it was darker than any I've ever seen which really made me feel better, they pick up the hcg hormone too 💖

LoulouM12 · 15/05/2024 12:49

@Hannah4850 I have actually been measuring LH too.... I got a higher reading yesterday but slightly lower today... But still higher than my base levels so that's a good sign. My BBT is consistently staying high too which is good...

Why is this couple of weeks so agonising!!

Elspeth1990 · 15/05/2024 19:17

Scan went well! Measuring 8w instead of 7w5 so due Christmas Day! So relieved yet upset as it just made the MC more real. 😢

GSD2024 · 15/05/2024 20:25

Aww @Elspeth1990 im so pleased you got to see your little bean. Wow, Christmas Day due date 💜 I can imagine it was very emotional for you, I hope you’re ok x

GSD2024 · 15/05/2024 20:25

@JM1997, just checking in lovely, are you? X

Elspeth1990 · 15/05/2024 20:28

@GSD2024 thank you. Means a lot. I think I'll just be on edge every scan until baby is here. Back in 4 weeks for another one.

Morning ladies, hope you’re all ok. I’m going to get a digi test today then will stop testing x

Morning lovely, I'd say that's smart I just do a cheapies test like every third day but I'm stopping today because I don't think mine can get any darker lmao 💖
