It's not that you imagined anything, Cookies, it's that at that point there is a big hormone surge REGARDLESS of pregnancy that can sometimes bring with it some pretty bizarre symptoms. I often have "ovulation pains" and crampiness (tho admittedly not to the level you experienced) 7 DPO. And a few times I've experienced dizziness in the luteal phase including some months I could not possibly have been pregnant.

It's also always possible that a fertilized egg that was not developing correctly just "kissed" the side of the uterus and then did not implant. But typically, we don't see any kind of major symptoms unless a pregnancy is at least starting off with implantation, and then you'd likely have gotten a faint positive. The hormones that cause the positive are the same hormones that cause the symptoms, so generally speaking when you have symptoms related to a chemical, you would get a very faint positive with FMU even a couple days later. Not always, but generally speaking.

Oh gosh yes I did see that on the news, glad the sun is out!! Stay safe and have a lovely adventure!

Not sure if you can see these images? I had a hard time trying to load images directly to the site. Best viewed when enlarged and zoomed in on I think.

These were taken this morning in the testing window... I'm guessing I'm 10 or 11 DPO. The cramping and dizziness happened Thursday night / Friday morning and now it's Monday morning. Not sure if I'm imagining things, DH said he could see a 'maybe' line yesterday. I can see a slight pink squinter second line this morning but am cautious about getting my hopes up.

I tested positive for Covid last night, so symptoms are all over the place. I don't know how common nausea is with Covid, but I couldn't sleep last night because every time I lay down I thought I was going to vomit. I've taken some Vitamin C and zinc to try and help with the Covid (took them last night), I'm on immunosupressants so have to be careful with viruses.

Thanks ladies! Jazmin, were you testing daily when you got your BFP at 11DPO?

Tested this morning at 10DPO and BFN if I didn’t have that severe back pain cramping and dizziness on 7-8DPO I’d have zero hope for this month… maybe I’d just imagined it all!

Taking the boys on an outdoor adventure this morning to take my mind off it all, we finally have sun here after weeks and weeks of rain and severe flooding (I’m in Australia, you might have seen it on the news!) x

ohh yea.. i was testing from 6dpo and i also knew when ovulated. lol i was just too curious.

10 dpo is still early.. fingers crossed for you [emoji4][emoji4]

ohh I read it in the news, be safe . glad its finally sunny and you are able to go out .

Here are two more pics in addition to the ones below... I caught my FMU in a cup so that I could do the FRER for a second time when my husband woke up and show him the result at 3 mins... this is the result at 5 min (I kept a timer running). They say to read the result between 3-10 minutes.

I couldn't see the first set but I do see these!!!!

oh gosh so sorry to hear about Covid!! I'm praying it's mild! Please keep us posted how you're getting along, Cookies!!!

Hello lovelies!

I took this test at 7am this morning on FMU but it's only a 3 hour hold (I was awake for hours last night with a horrible headache and did a wee at 4am before going back to sleep). it looks positive to me then I took a FRER digital (using the same urine caught in a cup) and it came up negative? I've googled it and it seems common, apparently the FRER digital is a lot less sensitive and picks up less HCG? Anyone with experience with this? Should I stop compulsively peeing on sticks now?

I with I had a Clearblue Digital to test with, that's what I've always used as a digital test, but can't go and get one as we're in isolation!

@Jazmin thanks lovely, sorry I meant to ask your earlier question, this was our first month TTC. XxXx

[atomic sagebrush]

That is a positive test. Not a squinter and NOT the type of line we see where people are mistaking them for positives. The "rules" with pregnancy tests is that a positive on any brand is a positive as various tests have different sensitivities.

Huge congrats!!!

And YES stop peeing on sticks now! Or at the least wait a few days between!

congratulations cookies [emoji4][emoji4] very happy for you [emoji7]
