*** August Testing Thread ***

[Sammyrose334]

Took another clear blue and it dried with a line again.. also took a FRER this morning and it has a vvvvfl that has pink color to it. I feel like my line should be darker by now though!? So confused ugh

Hi ladies! Figured I'd start the August testing thread since my daughters birthday is in August!

Please tag me to be added/update as I will likely not be great at keeping up...



Lets get some !

@AlwaysTheAunt please add me for testing om the 30th!

@AlwaysTheAunt
I'm so sorry ure in this situation. I really hope OH changes his mind..

Sorry about your chemical TTCaredHead

And sorry about your OH AlwaysTheAunt, he might come around. The baby/toddler phase is so rough but once you’re out of it (or so I hear lol) there are so many more things you can do as a family!

AFM, good thing I’ve been monitoring these opk’s! I checked last night, was negative. This morning - saw a faint line so assumed negative. I keep them (as one does) so checked them tonight and saw my morning’s test dried a fair bit darker. So took another one and it dried dark right away. Still not positive but I think O is coming up so DH and I got a quick BD in as the last time we did was last Tuesday. We’re not planning on BD’ing again before O, so hopefully this works! What do you guys think? Looks like it might be positive tomorrow or Tuesday right?

*Edit because I’m dumb - I looked back through my pictures and the top test is actually from this morning. So the middle and top tests should be switched - meaning it went dark, light, dark. Is that just normal fluctuation and I have O’d already or is it just a guessing game at this point lol

That has happened to me and it’s usually because I’ve had more to drink and the sample is more diluted. I would say you are getting close!

@AlwaysTheAunt I'm so sorry

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good to know guys! Thanks!

My line did end up disappearing, We will be trying again this month as that test was a chemical.

I'm so sorry for your chemical

Hope everyone’s doing ok. Sorry to hear about the chemicals guys

this is this mornings test. This is 7dp5dt, so still early. But the internet cheapies are still not showing anything and I tried a clearblue digital yesterday and it was negative. Do these frers pick up a lot earlier than others?

Looks awesome Wish! Depending on the cheapie, FRER can definitely pick it up first. I’ll dig up a picture I have comparing tests I did with my 2nd.



The cheapie that actually showed up is the old easy@home version - the crappy cheapie was the new easy@home version. So FRER was much clearer than that one!

Thank you!! I’m thinking I have picked it up very early with the frer so will test again in a few days

Happy monday everyone, I am 7dpo. Boobs still sore but not as much as yesterday. Probably nothing. Hubby is really struggling and we are in a dark place, a positive test at this point would be so scary...I don't even know what I want

 

[GemmaG]

Just popping my head in and sorry to see some of you ladies still here

@Lucy3 I’m absolutely gutted to see your news, hope this next cycle is the one

@Wish4rainbow your FRER is looking great

Sending loads of baby dust to everyone hope it’s a lucky month x

 

[GemmaG]

@Alligator i’m so sorry your husband is struggling. Big hugs

I’ve taken Atleast 6 if not more FRER and they all have faint pink lines on them. But they’re so faint you have to hold a light up to see them!! This is so unfair. it hasn’t gotten darker and I feel it should of by now because I’m 14 DPO so this means all these test were false positives and I am so frustrated!

 

[Sammyrose334]

It got a little darker but it’s still soooo faint!! I honestly don’t know what to think at this point. I feel so frustrated by these tests. Do you ladies have any input? It would be gladly appreciated.

 

[Suggerhoney]

I am so sorry @Sammyrose334
It seems Frer have been doing this lately to alot of ladies.
Giving faint pink lines but they don't get darker.
I have no idea what has happened to them.
Years ago they were the best u cud get.
But ttc this one and with all my chemicals and then this baby I noticed I got better lines on ICs and a vvvvv faint line on Frer.
So there definitely not as sensitive as they once where. But now they giving these terrible false positives.
Think they should be pulled from the shelf for giving womon false hope.
Can understand it with cheapies but Frer are expensive.
Have u tested with any other brand to see it u get a faint line on them too?
It not I definitely wudnt trust the frer.
They stinging so many ladies at the moment. And some poor ladies that have been trying for years. It's not on at all.
So sorry this has happened to you.
Maybe test with a different just to rule out a chemical.
I had 4 last year and I got lines on every brand of test so new what it was.
My fault tho for testing too early. But I think we're all guilty of that haha. I was peeing on tests at 6dpo which I know is ridiculous.
Anyway hope u get some answers soon. But I think its the dodgy Frer. Just seen this so much lately.

Hugs to you

We’re they all taken the same day?

 

[Lucy3]

Hi @GemmaG lovely to hear from you. How are you?

@Sammyrose334 ooh it’s hard with frer. Your lines do look pink but with them not progressing it’s tricky. Good luck with your next test

 

[Wish4rainbow]

Eeeekkkk!!!!
frer showed a barely there line at 4dp5dt and getting darker every day. But digitals negative up to this morning 8dp5dt. Internet cheapies still not showing anything
