I'm due on 24/05 so not far off . How annoying is it agonising over every mild symptom 😅😩.

I'm so tempted to test early but I'm sick of vague positive I want to see it in bold writing 😅
This will be baby 3 but first with my partner

Is this for first how long have you been TTC ? X

Hiya 👋 also due 24th! It’s my first month; we have just started to (in my partners words) ‘see what happens’ rather than say we are officially trying! I convinced myself I had symptoms and thought I might be pregnant from 1 - 7dpo, and now feeling that I imagined them all and probably am not... it’s my way of trying to protect myself and not get my hopes up if AF arrives I think! 🤦‍♀️ Tests should be in our Asda shop tomorrow and then going to try and hold out until the weekend ... @Bl0ndeye really sorry to hear about your losses 😔 wishing you lots of luck this cycle and being optimistic hope this week goes quickly for us!! 🤞

Hey everyone. I’m due on 29th May so I’ll join you on this wait!

Lost a pregnancy at 24 weeks in January, it should have been her due date last Friday... and I was supposed to ovulate on the same day as well! I’m wondering if because we’ve had a little memorial now and shared her full story with the world that maybe my body will stop holding onto the stress of grief and maybe that will help with conceiving? It could also be nonsense.

I can massively empathise with you @Bl0ndeye, it feels like everybody is pregnant and I’m terrified of this happening again. I don’t know if I can actually do it! 😖 I’m sorry about your losses, too. It’s such a stressful time.

I’m wide awake and it’s 1am - my mind is on a loop of “I wish I could test now and just know... I’m so scared in case I am pregnant and I lose this one... I can’t go through it again... but I will never know unless we keep trying... I wish I could test now...” gah!

I think I’ll be testing early - probably from next Monday/Tuesday! Will have to order some FRERs from Amazon and hide them from the hubster... 🙈

Can I join? I'm actually due on tomorrow. I've taken a couple of tests which have the faintest line or shadow I've ever had. I've read a lot of bad reviews of the cheap one step tests so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Especially as I have had bad period pains and backache for several days.

I was lucky to have my DD in 2018 but before that I'd had 5 miscarriages. I'm also 42 so I think even if I am pregnant this cycle, I will be completely paranoid. I was with my DD and it was awful.

Oh @emilie I'm so sorry, I jumped straight onto this thread without properly reading. I can't imagine how difficult losing your baby at 24 weeks must have been.

@imhereforthecake thanks, at least it isn't just me.

I don't trust them yet though as I'm 13dpo and really you'd imagine they would be darker by now. I guess I will see if AF turns up tomorrow.

Honestly, they look like shadows. I've been doing these tests for the last couple of months and I've never had any form of a line, shadow or otherwise which is the only thing giving me any hope. But I'm really trying not to get my hopes up!

When I had my DD I barely got a line when I was 17dpo so maybe it is just too early??

Hi Ladies,

Wanted to jump on too - AF is due for me on 23rd so a few more days to wait!

@emiliet123 and @Bl0ndeye so sorry for your losses. We too lost a baby at 15 weeks due to Edwards syndrome - terrible time in our lives but trying to be positive and try again now.

I've tested on 9dpo and 10dpo so far and both are negative. I'm hoping I'm just testing too early but know the reality is that AF may be on her way!

Sending you all lots of love

xx
