Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

Last month which was my first month off the pill it was 27 days....I do remember before I went back on the pill last year I was getting my period every 3weeks so don't know if those short cycles will return.
I tested frer again this morning with FMU and it says it's 96% right result and still bfn!
Do you think it could still be too early for frer??

I know it is easier said than done CCJ - i've tested early myself before. But if i can give you any advice it would be, do not test until you have missed your period. Hormone levels etc are individual to you, someone may get a positive at 9DPO where others won't get a BFP until 1 week after AF is due. i think it just puts you under more stress than you need.

For example, when i was pregnant i tested at 3 weeks and 5 days, not a slight chance of a faint line, nothing - so i ruled myself out for that month. I had to test again because i was taking part in the clear blue survey at the time and with AF not arriving they asked me to test. 4 weeks and 2 days i got a BFP on a clear blue digital but still not even a faint line on a supermarket branded device.

I will now not test early until i am passed AF's predicted arrival date.
However, i know it's easier said than done... we all just want the excitement of seeing that BFP

Thanks happielassie! I think reading so many early BFPs on forums is feeding it for me. I'm going to try very hard to stick to your advice. Thanks you've really cheered me up!

I was the same, i waited for x amount of days past ovulation and tested and then was devastated when it was BFN. Now i just tell myself "i'll test if AF doesn't arrive" at first it was tricky but now i find it easier not having to count down ha ha.

I'm pleased i've helped cheer you up
Like i say, i know its easier said than done.
Fingers crossed we aren't waiting for our BFP too long...

Id wait until at least a day after totm is due as it will give a better indication I think

Thanks all!! Booked myself a trip away at the end of next month with a friend...nice to have something to take my mind off it. Anyone got plans for the bank holiday weekend??

We are going to my nans this weekend to scatter my grandad's ashes at Sandringham not working the Monday but OH is but hoping he'll finish early so we can chill out as been so busy the past 3 months.


We have a wedding in a few weeks and meant to be having an op to remove all 4 wisdom teeth in October. Not sure if to stop TTC until that passes just in case or to keep going because chance are nothing will happen.


On a brighter note though my kid brother set his wedding date yesterday for next Halloween can't believe he'll be married and even more surprised he found a lovely girl to accept him lol Hopefully he might have a niece or nephew in attendance

I’d keep going. You never it might be the time it all happens, esp with you relaxing at the wedding
