Jazzy do you have the ability to get a name brand test like FRER or ClearBlue? I just don't trust cheapy tests for progression. I've never had luck with strips, personally. And the ones in the case look dodgy to me since the lines don't have a solid color...also they look slightly lighter, then darker, back and forth through the days. Just my two cents!

Cant find frer anywhere in the Uk, clear blue have said 2-3 weeks on both 14dpo and 17dpo tests xx

Doc said I was probably ovulating based on bloodwork but I don’t think I have ovulated yet. I have had flashy smiley for advanced clearblue for 6 days now. The opks dont seem to change darkness so im thinking the doc will have to write a script for inducing my period.

FRER dont exist in UK anymore - tho i think you can pay ‘more’ for them through amazon. I would try get a blood test done prehaps? I know thats not easy over here. Or if you can afford it a private scan. I would say my progression looked best on clearblue/boots test… i think some of these cheaper ones tend to stop gettin darker/hold much dye.

Id like to say it will fly by but we all know that's not the case in the 1st trimester, it always feels like it goes so slowly lol x

If I get to 7 weeks with no AF I'll be naughty and ask one the doctors to scan me when I'm doing my fortnightly shift on the delivery suite. I'm resigned to it not being a viable pregnancy for now though, don't want to let myself get my hopes up xx

Good afternoon ladies. Just a update on me. I'm 12dpo and just got af. 2 days early but that's okay. Wanted to say good luck to the ladies waiting to still test. Again sorry for the ones who had losses.

I'll be testing in early December praying it will be a magical month and we get the best gift, a sticky bfp before Xmas.

A private scan can definitely be such a reassurance while you're waiting for your dating scan.

I keep saying I'm stopping testing but I literally can't help myself. It's frustrating. I hadn't poas for 8 years, it's crazy how quick that addiction comes back to you x
