I'm to scared to test

Have been ttc for 18 months and now AF is a day late. I had what may have been implantation bleeding at 6/7 dpo. (I mever spot between periods) I've had so many BFN's over the past 18months, I can't bear to see another one! So now I'm sat here torturing myself with the possibility that I may be pregnant....its like shroedingers (sp?) pregnancy.

I don't know what I'm posting for, someone talk some sense in to me please?

@PurpleEllie I completely get you. It's so hard seeing that one line. I've been ttc 13 months and no joy.

Still have everything crossed for you x

I chickened out and did an OPK instead, as I've heard that they show up positive if you're pregnant. I know how silly that sounds, I just really, really don't want to see a single line again. At least the OPK came up straight away with 2 lines, but one was slightly fainter than the other, so that's a negative right? I've woken up this morning with a slight heaviness in my tummy, which I'm assuming is AF gearing up to make a show. Thank you for all your kind words of support xx

Eek good luck @PurpleEllie let us know how you get on! Xxx

@PurpleEllie Talk some sense into you? Here is my advice: stop torturing yourself and test tonight. If AF is a day late the result will probably be true. At least then you'll know either way, and you need to know.
Good luck! Let us know how you get on.

Everything crossed for a bfp

It's understandable to be scared to test after the journey you've had so far!
If your a day late go for it and take a test! Sounds like you deserve a BFP!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

I don't think it matters what time of day you test. If you're pregnant it'll be positive🤷🏽‍♀️ I tested at dinner time with my first and about 2pm with my second. A week late with my first and a day late with my second. Good luck x

Test tonight. If you’re late and not testing at 8dpo like the rest of us crazies, it should be clear enough.

Oh, and post us a pic!

Good luck x

Will it need to be fmu do you think? Or could I get away with testing tonight?

4 faint tests pretty much equal a positive, congratulations!! I'm thinking maybe I should wait a few more days, just to be on the safe side? I ovulated Christmas day, so I'm sure it will show up a strong positive if I am pg. I just think my body might be messing with me, the late AF is just getting my hopes up. Am trying not to agonize over it, but we have been trying for so long! Really really hope 2020 will be my year

Ah this sounds really promising! When are you planning on taking a test?? I'm 10dpo today and feel different with 4 very very faint positive cheap pregnancy tests but trying not to get my hopes up as there's a few days wait for me yet. It's so nerve wracking! Keep me posted when you decide to take the test xx
