As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

@ec2808 ahh that's annoying! What tests can you use when you want to double check?

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 15:38

@Kayleaaaive no idea about indents on FRER’s - I think they’re meant to be pretty good! Have you got something on a test? Want to post it here to see if we can help?

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 15:46

@Kayleaaa I use the cheapies and get clearblue to confirm 😊

Kayleaaa · 14/05/2025 15:51

@flyhighsky72 it's so insanely faint that I've edited it to hopefully come up in the picture? Absolutely delusional but I feel like I see something. It's dry now but I could definitely see a tiny something in the 3 minutes... Don't worry if you don't see it!

@ec2808 ah okay! I wonder why they don't have frers there!

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 15:55

@Kayleaaa I know it's soo annoying even the clearblue ones we can just get the blue dye and I prefer the pink dye...

Kayleaaa · 14/05/2025 16:07

@ec2808 are you able to get any shipped in or is it just insanely expensive? I'm always jealous of Americans that can pick up frers at the shop, I can only get them on Amazon!

SureLook · 14/05/2025 16:20

@Kayleaaa I think I can see something but it's at the bottom part of the window. I can't see a full line.

Kayleaaa · 14/05/2025 16:25

@surelook that's okay, thanks for having a check!

FarAwayBird · 14/05/2025 16:44

Hands up who just wasted her last test despite knowing full well AF is on its way today? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Joining the BFN club (again) today. As much as I’m disappointed for all of us, it genuinely makes me feel better that we’re a little team cheering each other on ❤️

Oh and @Kayleaaa I’m in America but all the reviews for the FRERs said they’re unreliable so I got clearblue?! Think I’m going to stock up on cheapies because I’m going to be bankrupt before any baby at the rate I’m peeing on sticks!

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 16:52

Boo @FarAwayBirdsorry to hear! I bought first response from Amazon as that’s what I used with my first but I’ve since read all the reviews! Just went into Superdrug to stock up and they only sell cheapies and clearblue - I’ve bought some clearblue so we shall see tomorrow!!

FlyHighSky72 · 14/05/2025 16:53

@Kayleaaai can sort of see what you mean but agree with the others that it’s mainly at the bottom! Try again tomorrow (like me!!) and let’s keep our fingers crossed we’ll both get a super obvious line tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

FarAwayBird · 14/05/2025 16:58

Eek @FlyHighSky72 fingers crossed for you!

Oh and sorry - I missed your pic @Kayleaaa I can maybe see something too? So hard waiting to see if it turns into a full line. I’m sorry you’ve had such a long road. Did you say you have an appointment this week? I really hope you get your BFP soon x

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 17:15

@Kayleaaait will probably cost a fortune and don’t even wanna know what delivery tine will be probably in time for next cycle 🤣 i can sort of see something too!
I just got my clearblue 6 days early not the digitals and swear i saw the faintest of lines before the 10 minutes mark while drying its even more obvious now anybody have experience with these ones??

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 17:16

@FarAwayBirdsoo sorry to hear this 😔❤️❤️

FarAwayBird · 14/05/2025 17:36

@Ec2808 those are the exact ones I’m using. I’ve never had anything but stark white on them so maybe you’ve got something?? Fingers crossed!

And thank you. I’m only officially on month 1 this time around (have a 3 year old) so I can’t be too down about it. I know I’ll get increasingly desperate each month though!

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 17:40

@FarAwayBirdoh really?? That brings me a little bit if hope thank you soo much !! ❤️❤️ no don’t get down about it! i know how you feel i’m on cycle 3 and might not seem long for some people but for me it feels like forever 😩😩

FarAwayBird · 14/05/2025 18:00

@Ec2808 Yeah…I’ve found there’s but no ambiguity with them - which I guess is a good thing! Remind me how many DPO you are? Definitely worth testing again in the morning if you’re impatient like me.

Yeah the 2WW is actually 2 months, I swear 😅 Also, my husband took a while to be ready to TTC #2 (which I totally understand) but I feel like I’ve been mentally ready for a while! I’ve realised we’re going to the end of May ovulation due to us being apart so I’m hoping June is my month! 🤞

YKM2829 · 14/05/2025 18:01

Got my peak about an hour ago and dtd twice already this morning and hoping to continue at least 1s daily 😂🤞
Just reallllllly cba with the tww now 😮‍💨🤞😂

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 18:07

@FarAwayBirdomg would you mind having a look at mine? I took it apart in the 10minute window to get a better picture of the line…i know how you feel took me a while to get hubby ready too 🤣🤣 fingers crossed foe June 😍❤️❤️

Ec2808 · 14/05/2025 18:08
