Anyone else waiting to test?

143 replies

I'm 8DPO today and am probably going to test on Thursday (trying to hold off until then anyway!)
Anyone else planning to test around that time? I have a 10 day LP so testing then should give me warning about whether AF is coming or not.
I'm obsessively symptom spotting even though I'm aware that pre AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same at this point.
It'll be DC3 for us if all goes well but I'm still just as excitable TTC this time around

Thanks all, I feel stupid now as when I look at it on here it looks negative but looks different in real life somehow. Will test tomorrow and hopefully get a clearer answer.

@Tinker315b amazing news!

@NoseringGirl can't see the pic, will be interested to see it though and compare!

Fantastic @Tinker315b! Hope you start a very welcome trend for the thread

Welcome @alicepol if you find any distractions, let us know

@mostimproved looks a lot like my test and I honestly can't tell you if there's something there are not!
This is mine...

Tinker315b · 20/06/2018 09:26

Hi ladies so done 4 tests last night and 2 this morning and got a clear positive, I hope you all aren't far behind me .

Avlev · 20/06/2018 09:17

Welcome @alicepol. With you in spirit!

alicepol · 20/06/2018 09:03

Hope it's okay to join.
I'm only 6 dpo but going insane waiting! Need something to take my mind of waiting and imagining symptoms.

Avlev · 20/06/2018 09:03

@changingagain I always go with first thing in the morning, however tempting it is to do one mid afternoon (evening.... night.....)

Changingagain · 20/06/2018 09:02

Sorry mostimproved I can't see anything there. Hopefully tomorrow

I'm even more of an idiot, my app was right to start with and AF shouldn't be around until Monday, which means I'm still early for testing anyway and there's hope it could be implantation bleeding. This is only our first cycle really trying this time, DS took a year and I'd forgotten how obsessed and scatty I become when TTC

mostimproved · 20/06/2018 08:46

As I have to wait until tomorrow to test now, I am madly squinting at pics of this morning’s IC. Does anyone think they see anything or am I in cloud cuckoo land?

NoseringGirl · 20/06/2018 08:40

@mostimproved hope it's clearer for us both tomorrow! I'm wishing the day away already just so I can test again!

@Changingagain I'd still use them first thing in the morning as your urine is more concentrated. Once you're past your AF date though, you'd probably still get a positive during the day (in my experience anyway!)

@Prembabymum sounds positive! I noticed implantation bleeding in my second pregnancy (two days before a positive test) but didn't notice any in my first.

OP posts:

mostimproved · 20/06/2018 08:38

@avlev I definitely see it, how exciting!

@NoseringGirl I’m the same this morning, tested with an IC and think I can possibly see something but it might be my eyes deceiving me. Might crack open the FRER tomorrow if no AF.

Prembabymum · 20/06/2018 08:31

So last night I had the tiniest bit of spotting; as in about 2 drops. I'm 9dpo so its either implantation bleeding of af starting early. I didnt get implantation bleeding in my last pregnancy though so dont know if it's likely to be that. Although if it was only the tiniest amount I may have just not noticed it! No sign of any more bleeding since so fingers x!!

Changingagain · 20/06/2018 08:26

I see a line too Avlev and I normally can't when everyone else is saying they can!

Are first response tests good enough that you can do them any time of day, or is first thing in the morning still best?

Avlev · 20/06/2018 07:47

Crossing everything for you @NoseringGirl. Hope it works out for you!!

Avlev · 20/06/2018 07:46

Thanks guys. Cautious yay. I’ll check again tomorrow.

I’m with you on the conspiracy bus NoseringGirl especially with Clearblue digital. Those things are rubbish!

Sorry for the BFN @Changingagain! Maybe they design them like that so people aren't sure and have to buy more tests

I would test now @Doglady28! FRER are good but once AF is late, any test should show positive if you're pregnant.

I can see a line @Avlev, very exciting!

I tested again this morning and can maybe see something? I'm probably just being hopeful and imagining it. Only 10DPO so will try again tomorrow when AF is due.

OP posts:

Hengine · 20/06/2018 06:47

I think that’s a line @avlev

Avlev · 20/06/2018 06:43

Hi everyone! I’m 12DPO, second month of trying for DC2. Was tricky first time round (over active immune system), and now we are trying without meds, so may be foolish anyway. But worth a go! POAS this morning, and have been squinting ever since. Can anyone help me out here? Is there anything there or is it the indentation from the test? I forgot how impatient I am. AF due tomorrow (although I’m mighty irregular)

Doglady28 · 20/06/2018 06:27

So based on my app, I'm a day late.
But my last Period, I can't be sure if that was real or a withdrawal bleed from the pill. Nor can I be sure that I have a 28 day cycle either. I always used to have.
So should I test or should I wait until after the weekend?
If I do test, what test should I buy?
🤔🤔🤔😍

Changingagain · 20/06/2018 05:55

Well I feel a bit of an idiot. I was going with my app thinking AF is due on Monday without realising it had been confused be an unusually long cycle I had last month. So AF is actually due anytime now, which is a more likely explanation for the spotting. Tested anyway this morning and BFN.

On the plus side, I've remembered how much I hate the boots tests. Tiny little window so it's really difficult to find an angle without shadow lines, why would they design them like that?

@mostimproved I've been feeling similar and wondering if it's the heat and humidity!

@Prembabymum I'm sorry but I can't see it!

@Changingagain I had spotting a couple of days before testing positive with DS2 but didn't notice anything like that with DS1. Hope it's a good sign for you!

OP posts:

Changingagain · 19/06/2018 19:19

I'm 9-10 dpo, had a really sharp pinch sort of pain for 20 seconds or so today and then dark brown spotting a couple of hours later. AF not due until Monday so I'm hopeful despite not having bleeding with Ds.

Prembabymum · 19/06/2018 19:18

Ok so what I said about waiting to test; total fail!! And now here I am, delaying going for a run by instead staring at this morning's 8dpo frer and willing a line to appear! There's no second line there right? I know its silly early too; can't seem to learn my lesson!!
