Advice, is it a positive?

People are different, Wanderlust, and I’m sure you haven’t reached adulthood without realising that people deal with things in different ways, have you? That would be a scary lack of empathy if that’s the case.

Personally, for me, I’d rather be disappointed by a negative test than wait for the ‘surprise’ of my period coming on, because I feel that this way I have a little bit of control over what is one hell of a rollercoaster.

@Wanderlust2020 week you must be on your own caus I've never heard of someone waiting to test till a week late! However (talking of my situation) I am a week late however not testing till Monday as hate wasting money! So not sure what you opinion is on that? Please share on this open forum
Am I allowed to test at 9 days late? As will be Monday

@Wanderlust2020 if your not the one paying for these tests then it certainly is no concern of yours. Women (myself included) need confirmation sometimes and if peeing on a stick gives them comfort so be it.

Yes this is a public platform, however my mother taught me 'if you have got anything nice to say then don't say anything at all' there's no need to drag others down, we are hopeful, we want to be supportive and help each other. Just move on.

Me and the OP @SimplyAmy1 are at different stages in our journey, I am going on 10years and she's beginning, she and others should feel free to ask as many questions and those of us that are old to the ttc party should share our experience not belittle them!

Now let's forget the negativity, cause I have enough of that when pee on a stick 😆

I just never understood the testing time after time.. Hoping to see a positive or a slight change in a vvvv faint line. I had infertility treatments so I'm not new to the ttc process. I just always waited to see if period showed and when I was pregnant I waited a week past period date to test. Just my opinion and this is a public forum. So if you don't want people to voice their opinions then don't post on the wide Web?

@beanchopper17 Thankyou! I thought exactly same how rude and with her silly emoji eyes! Well eye roll back at ya ! No need to be so rude!

@Wanderlust2020 I just want to say I think it's kinda rude and judgemental to come on to a topic and just say 'I doubt your pregnant' 'hate to be the voice of reason'

The chances are likely some of these ladies ovulated later than thought, so there is still every chance they could be pregnant this cycle! Don't be so dismissive to other people's feelings, you don't know their ttc journey, it can be really frustrating and this platform is meant to be supportive and helpful!

If you don't think she can be pregnant, good for you but just move on to the next post, some of us need to hold on to that hope that our periods haven't shown up and we are still in with a chance.

People can be very sensitive emotionally when ttcing and there is no 'voice of reason' when someone still has hope!

@Wanderlust2020 ah the one who got a positive 🙄 so stick them eyes rude cow

Was talking to the OP not you? 🙄

@Wanderlust2020 well this is true however at 36 I am well aware I can ovulate late early or kick out a extra egg even! So ya never know plus the lady before has just got a positive after a negative and 5 days late? So yes it's very good chance I'm not and if not I wish af would arrive however I have been preg 5 times before and do know the signs! This is why it's so so annoying! It's like give me a positive or let af arrive
Oh btw I'm not stressing have a 11 month old 17 and 12 yo far too busy to stress over period 🥰

Honestly doubt your pregnant. A test would have shown a strong positive. Hate to be the voice of reason but I would relax and stop thinking about it and I'm sure AF will show up as soon as you do.

@SimplyAmy1 did you do any more? I am 5 days late my period! Negative tests sooo annoying been having intermittent cramps for 12 days !

@SimplyAmy1 we always have some LH in our system hence we can some times see faint lines on a test, sadly this doesn't tell you much at this stage. I have very erratic cycles but have found using opks through the whole cycle helps me predict my period.

Try to stay calm (stress can delay your period), test hcg test again after the weekend but first relax, unwind and enjoy your weekend and try not to think about any testing ☺️

Oh I'm sorry! I just read it's a OPK!
That is not a positive OPK.

Looks good 👍 you may have ovulated later that you thought. In 48 hrs that line should be much darker

@SimplyAmy1 I never actually tried it, but ov tests can pick up a pregnancy. I can’t remember if the line is as dark as control though

@SimplyAmy1 I am either 11 or 12dpo, absolutely no symptoms and bfn this morning on sensitive tests, I am due on roughly Monday/Tuesday so only time will tell 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is there any chance you ovulated later than you thought?

My af arrived have you tested again?
