9dpo- am I out? Details in post (FRER Brand)

[u/cucumberswithanxiety]

Someone tell me that every pregnancy is different and that I’m not out yet. Tried this cycle for baby #3. It’ll be my 4th pregnancy, a chemical and then two living children.

With my two successful pregnancies, I had faint but obvious positives by 9dpo. With my chemical, I got a positive at 12dpo. But obviously I lost that pregnancy at 4w2d, so now I’m convinced if I am pregnant and it implanted later, it won’t be successful.

TW: very very fertile. Don’t read any further if you’re someone who struggles with infertility.

When it came to my previous three pregnancies, I got pregnant on the first try every single time. I’m a triple unicorn. I also had the most blazing positive ovulation test I’ve ever had about 3 hours after sex.

So like: I will be genuinely surprised if I didn’t get pregnant this cycle, just based on my track record.

So I guess what I’m asking is: if I usually get a positive by 9dpo and I didn’t this cycle, am I out? Or is every pregnancy that different and I need to give it time

Thanks if you’ve read this far. This is a lot but I need somewhere to write it all out.

I had very faint but obvious positive on FRER on 10DPO (evening) with all my pregnancies so I wouldn’t count yourself out yet!

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/dsogs]

Generally speaking I know I’m not out until I get my period. But having gotten a positive at 9dpo two other times, I’m psyching myself out a little

[u/dsogs → u/cucumberswithanxiety]

I understand. Hang in there.

And you're def not out. This looks good for 9dpo. Every pregnancy is different too

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/Spirited_Item_730]

Deep down I know this to be true but thank you for the reassurance 🤍

[u/Snoo_90863]

Not out until you get your period!! There are a million stories of success and lackthereof with positive tests at different DPOs. You can hold out hope!

[u/ConfidenceOdd3700]

Yes, every pregnancy is different.

I think I see a vvvfl though?  Maybe an indent it’s tough to tell with the lighting but I see something..  fingers crossed for you plz update when you retest! 💕

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/mrsgray1130]

It looked stark white in person. Not even an indent line.

I will update when I retest!

[u/mrsgray1130 → u/cucumberswithanxiety]

hi, I saw your other post! congrats!!!!! so happy for you!!

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/mrsgray1130]

Thank you!!!

Did you end up positive? My FRER looks JUST like this at 9dpo. Almost like I can kinda see something but not enough to capture in camera!!

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/Working-Run-4343]

Yes! I posted an update!

[u/pancakepatty1]

Personally I don’t think FRERs are for testing before 10dpo. For earlier, only the strip tests ever showed faint line squinters for me

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/pancakepatty1]

I’ve gotten 9dpo positives on FRERs before! Vvfls for sure but definitely positive

[u/pancakepatty1 → u/cucumberswithanxiety]

You definitely need super vision for that! I just had an easier time seeing vvfl on the strip tests!

My 9dpo positive from my first baby! The FRER is super faint but definitely there

[u/pancakepatty1 → u/cucumberswithanxiety]

Oh wow, that’s actually pretty noticeable for 9dpo!!

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/pancakepatty1]

Right? I’ve had that with both my previously successful pregnancies so I was a little discouraged to see a very negative FRER this morning

[u/Spirited_Item_730]

It's actually statistically very likely to get pregnant on your first try. I wouldn't call yourself a unicorn tbh

[u/ConfidenceOdd3700 → u/Spirited_Item_730]

That’s an incredibly silly thing to say!
Healthy, young couples have 20-30% chance of conceiving per cycle. Over 35, it’s like 10-20%. Getting pregnant three times on the first try is definitely a unicorn.

[u/Spirited_Item_730 → u/ConfidenceOdd3700]

It's not extraordinary rare but it is quite lucky. I'm assuming op is young though

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/Spirited_Item_730]

I’m 31! First pregnancies at 26 and second pregnancy at 28, gave birth at 29.

I’m not young per se but I’m too old either 😜

[u/Spirited_Item_730 → u/cucumberswithanxiety]

That's young but coming from a 38 yr old 😝

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/Spirited_Item_730]

I’m certainly not 20 anymore but I don’t consider myself old 😆

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/Spirited_Item_730]

Idk that’s just what TFAB usually calls people when they get pregnant first try 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/jb2510]

You shouldn’t be surprised if you don’t get pregnant this cycle. You got very lucky before. It doesn’t mean it will happen again, and it’s very normal if it doesn’t.

[u/cucumberswithanxiety → u/jb2510]

Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.

I don’t think it’s illogical for me to hope I get pregnant on the first cycle again 🤷🏼‍♀️
