@annem1990: you're not out until AF arrives!!! Early pregnancy and PMS are almost the same set of symptoms, including cramping. FX.
-
@periwinklebee: thank you! Hope I have similar results
-
@annem1990: Crossing my fingers that AF doesn't show!

Just checking in on you ladies, still waiting to O here but I'm only on CD 10. I usually O around CD 22 so I've got a while yet
thinking of you all! Baby dust!!
-
@Mrs.Panda: hiya! Waiting to O can definitely drag. I'm on CD3 and it looks like AF has left the building. Time to start peeing on OPKs again in a couple days! Thanks for the baby dust!
-
@madisonbee: social media can be tough... that's part of the reason I don't even know my fb password anymore!

I promise I will stop posting my tests soon, but can you guys help? I think I've read people say that they had better luck with FRER using SMU or even afternoon urine instead of FMU. I took another FRER just now with FMU and I barely see a line whereas on the Wondfo it looks about the same as yesterday's FMU. I'm kind of worried that the FRER is lighter, even though the hold was much longer than my first FRER.
1st pic: top test is 1/11 afternoon test, bottom test is 1/12 FMU
2nd pic: top test is 1/11 FMU, bottom test is 1/12 FMU
Edited to add: I'm probably 12 DPO today
-
@Boopers: just a lurker but I am definitely someone that has much better luck with afternoon attempts versus fmu. I found that if I wanted to compare sticks (and save some of my sanity) I had to compare only similar time periods (so only fmu against fmu or just afternoon vs afternoon) because there was too much variable otherwise. I think your wondfos do that and show good progress. Fingers crossed for you!
-
@bloved: comparing similar timed tests totally makes sense. I will test again this afternoon and compare my FRERs. Thanks for your input!
-
@Boopers: I don't mind seeing HPTs so post away! I also agree with @bloved. Try again this afternoon!
-
@Boopers: never too many hpt pics. good luck this afternoon!
-
@annem1990: I only tested with DS1 because I was so sure that AF was minutes away, and wanted to confirm. You never know!
-
@Boopers: Usually FRERs are way better than Wondfos but this proves otherwise! I wouldn't worry and just take another test this afternoon.
-
@Mrs.Panda: I'm still waiting to ovulate too. It's the worst part!
-
@Boopers: I got a BFP last Fri - the cheapie was a super, super squinter whereas the FRER, while light, was clearly visible. Last time I tested on Tuesday, the FRER hadn't changed a bit but the cheapie line was much, much darker, in fact darker than the FRER one. I'm still waiting for my beta draw results to make better sense of it, but just to say, maybe cheapies will darken better for you...
-
@Boopers: cheerleader here, popping in to say post those stick pics all day!!
I had a faint line on a FRER like your top pic and then it went away. I didn't get any lines and anything else. I was not pregnant and think maybe it was a chemical? That being said I def see a line on your bottom cheapie so if I were you I'd keep testing!! good luck!
-
Thanks everyone!!! When I posted the tests they were still wetish. I checked them again before I left for work after they had dried some more and they both looked darker than the photos. The FRER wasn't as dark as yesterday's, but the Wondfo was noticeably darker than the Wondfo from yesterday. I will post another update this afternoon and/or tomorrow. I haven't even missed my period yet, so I'm trying to remember to be realistic about my lines and how dark they should be at this point.
-
HCG increased from 114 (15 dpo) to 217 (17dpo), which is an appropriate rate of increase! I get one more beta draw on Sat.
-
@Boopers: Good to hear! Awaiting your stick pics this afternoon
-
@periwinklebee: Yay, numbers can be comforting
-
@snarkybiochemist: thank you!
@Boopers: FRER's take forever to dry.
-
@periwinklebee: Yay! Keep on increasing, HCG!
-
@madisonbee: Thank you!
-
@periwinklebee: yay!!! That's great news about your betas!
-
@periwinklebee: yay!!!! So happy for you!
-
@periwinklebee: yay!!

I'm joining in, hoping to be a little more active here!
Cycle Day: 19
TTC Cycle: I've lost count! We had probably 4 cycles NTNP, then about 10 or 11 actively trying.
Ovulation Date: 1/5/17 - CD12
POAS Date: Trying to give it until Jan 17 - CD 24!
Baby #: 2! We have a 3 yo DD
What's up this month: I work in a school, so just back to work after the holidays!
For Fun: Any new year resolutions? Read (at least!) one book a month, work out a minimum of 3x per week, drink at least 60 oz of water a day. So far, so good! -
@Boopers: @Mrs. K: @knittylady: Thank you!
@annie624:
-
@annie624: tons of baby dust to you!!
-
@Boopers: the new FRERs are awful, in my opinion, and they take forever to dry. Also, hcg can take 24-48 hrs to double, so you probably need to wait a little bit before the lines get darker. Easier said than done, I know! And yes to what was previously said regarding doing the tests at the same time. I'm sure you'll have better luck with afternoon testing!
@periwinklebee: that's great!! Hopefully that gives you a bit of peace of mind
@annie624: good luck!!
-
@theotherstark: I didn't want to buy the new FRERs, but the store only had a 2 pack of the old ones and a 3 pack of the new ones and of course I blew through all 3 in 2 days!!
-
Ok here are my updated tests. I'm pretty sure I'll stop blowing up this thread with my pictures after this. Thanks everyone for your advice and input!
The middle tests in both pics are from this morning and the bottom tests are from this afternoon.
-
@Boopers: beautiful progression!!
-
@Boopers: it's so pretty! lol. Love it! Maybe time to get a digital?
-
@madisonbee: I do have one. I've been saving it, but there really isn't a reason to at this point I suppose!
-
@bloved: @madisonbee: thanks ladies!
-
@Boopers: looks great to me!!
-
@Boopers: awesome lines!!
-
@Boopers: I would just do it to see the word "Pregnant." LOL.
-
@Boopers: Awesome lines, congrats!!!
thinking of you all! Baby dust!!
