Yeah dont be disappointed yet, I know of quite a few ladies who didn't get positives with frer but romped along with their pregnancies. Hcg is made up of different types, im sure we all dont make exactly the same chemical prototype hcg as each other, I've read alot of stuff on hcg but cant recount it well on here because im not that clever.
The post I put before a page back showed the variation of hcg levels in different women at the same points in their pregnancy.
So we each could have different levels and even rates of progression in early pregnancy.
My chances are pretty shit because I personally think im low on progesterone, but I cant do anything about that till I get tests.
Going to speak to my gp tomorrow and see if she could test my levels or even prescribe me some progesterone? Doubt it as she didn't suggest it last time but worth a try. Apparently I can buy pregnalone or something over the counter which is natural? Hmm investigation continues xxx

It's month 7 but cycle 4 as had long irregular cycles off the pill, it's the first month I used digital OPKS so that's the only reason know what dpo I am x

AF could be due today (may be late due to miscarriage ), if I've gone back to my regular cycle length then it should be today.... fx she stays away.. not going to test today, am determined to wait a little longer.

Morning ladies. Weird story. So I used the left over frer this morning and after a minute or so, threw it in the bin. My partner re read the instructions whilst I was crying in the toilet and came knocking asking if I was ok. I was rambling on about how life wasn't fair and he kept on saying "Cheryl! Calm down!". I eventually did and he said "congrats mama, we're having a baby"
What a way to start the week. Turns out I didn't wait the full 3 mins. I'm still staring at the test as we speak

Hi All

I have been hovering for a while but wasn't sure that I wanted to cycle watch again this time round. However I need to have other people to talk to as my husband just does not get it. Came off the pill at the start of May to let my body have time to adjust. Got married on the 1st July so can not start trying for baby no. 2.

I will be looking to test at around the 28th if AF does not appear by then as was a little early last month.

Do it in the morning if you can wait for fmu. You're still very early to use afternoon wee. That said, if you have a line on frer, you should get a stronger line on superdrug. Xxx

 

[treetrunks]

Congratulations SK8, its hard to get decent photos of lines. Personally my lines are always stronger at teatime and its not a rare occurrence, not sure why but hey ho.
Im really tired now, haven't bothered testing yet today did the frer yesterday and got virtually nothing so chances are its slipping away again as a chemical, just waiting for a call back from the doctor to see about progesterone levels and whatever. Xxx

Just zoomed in on photo from yesterdays frer, maybe there is something there?
I think I see pink, but rechecked and I was 11dpo yesterday not 12, (as far as I know) but maybe im just getting my hopes up while my bank balance is going down haha!?

No point testing yet anyway as you do better in the afternoons.

Fx it's not a chemical. But...they've been the best lines you've had so hopefully your body is getting better at it. Xxx

 

[treetrunks]

I felt shitty all day today. My partner suggested that we start considering adoption. My response was so shameful, I don't know where it came from. I was in tears and blurted out, "i don't want someone else's baby!" I still can't believe those words came out of my mouth *face palm*
That is why I decided if it doesn't happen this month, I'm going to take a break and just reset my brain

Thanks, Hopefully af stays away, not feeling enthusiastic though, could get more Superdrug tests but im hoping for a line on a less sensitive test or a weeks indication digital. Until then I kind of feel 'half pregnant' haha. Xxx how are you doing GG?

 

[treetrunks]

Don't know why im getting old quoted posts in my message...sorry

 

[Mystery26]

"Half pregnant"...I know EXACTLY what you mean! That's pretty much how I feel right now. It's like I have all the same symptoms as last cycle, just at 5% capacity so it's not exactly inspiring confidence. Only 6dpo today so while I got a ridiculously stupidly faint line on an internet cheapy 10miu this morning, I am reading nothing into it. If I took a picture, nobody else would see it so I'm just going to ignore it and not stress over it.

Stress is the enemy, so I am kicking it up the arse!!

I think it's happening to a few people.

Hope you're managing to keep a little positivity going. Nobody could blame you for thinking the worst but keeping positive mentally can have an effect on our physical health. Xx
