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

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatetell be about it saaaaaame

HellsBellsTrudy · 17/05/2025 13:32

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate with those lines I would try a digital in the morning if you have one!

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 17/05/2025 13:40

@HellsBellsTrudygoing to get one today!

@Ec2808nightmare isn't it! You want to be excited but it's scary!

Ec2808 · 17/05/2025 13:53

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatei cant even get excited yet because the lines are barely visible preparing for the worst honestly

HellsBellsTrudy · 17/05/2025 14:00

Sorry if I’ve missed it @Ec2808 but how many DPO are you now?

Ec2808 · 17/05/2025 14:01

@HellsBellsTrudy10?11?12? I really don’t know based on symptoms bbt lh peak have no clue but already CD29 and normally have shorter cycles more 25-27 range…

HellsBellsTrudy · 17/05/2025 14:29

Bless you @Ec2808 thats rough, I have unusual cycles but that’s down to my PCOS so although I think I ovulated based on my tests I can never be sure!

Ahead of going test crazy I’ve been looking at photos of my early tests from my DD when there was hardly a line so I know what to look for - mental

Ec2808 · 17/05/2025 14:31

@HellsBellsTrudyi’m normally very regular ..this is soo unusual for me..😢 oh really which test brand did you use? I’m really not sure feel like i’m going crazy 😔 and just imagining lines

HellsBellsTrudy · 17/05/2025 14:34

This was my easy at home from 8 DPO with my DD, I remember sharing it elsewhere and no one could see anything but I could and still can!
Testing early is so hard to avoid when you want it so much @Ec2808 but it does help to wait, I’m going to maybe try this time…maybe

i’m not sure @Ec2808 I can see something on the second photo but not sure if it’s a shadow, sorry that’s not much help! 😭

Ec2808 · 17/05/2025 14:43

I feel like I can see what you’re seeing! Have you tried a first response yet? X

Ec2808 · 17/05/2025 15:46

@BGxxxwe dont have them here 😩

Muddysocks1 · 17/05/2025 16:36

FlyHighSky72 · 17/05/2025 09:10

@Muddysocks1sorry I don’t understand - how can the test be done at 7dpo regardless of ovulation day? How would you know when you were 7dpo if you didn’t know when you ovulated?

Sorry I meant 7DPO depending on ovulation day, badly worded!! Need to track when ovulation is to be accurate

FlyHighSky72 · 17/05/2025 06:29

Congrats @SureLookdef a positive!

I’m 12 dpo too and no AF and negative test

I missed this, I’m so sorry 😞 I know how it feels. Feel really low today! Sending love ❤️

Iris2024 · 17/05/2025 17:06

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate another positive in the group! Congratulations darling 🥰

@FlyHighSky72 yes I’m going to join the June group. I ovulate in May and AF due in June. I need to get my head together and concentrate on a new cycle!

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 17/05/2025 17:28

Thank you @Iris2024✨️

DownWithCremeEggs · 17/05/2025 17:37

Hi all. 8DPO today. Caved and took a FRER, and it was stark white negative 😔 I know it's still very very early (AF isn't even due until 23rd), but still a bit deflated. Why do I test too early and hurt my own feelings? 😆

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 17/05/2025 17:38

@DownWithCremeEggsI'm 12dpo today and finally got the faintest line. I've been testing since 7dpo! There was nothing there at 11dpo.

EmPeEf · 17/05/2025 18:12

Couldn’t find a First Response in our Tesco. Not sure forking out nine quid from Amazon is a worthwhile expenditure just because I’m impatient.

Yeah I don't think you can get them in any shops in the UK! I've certainly never seen them anywhere recently. When I was TTC my first back in 2018 you could, but I haven't seen them in any shops for a good few years.

I managed to get some in Boots in NI and this was 2022 but haven’t seen them since!
