Anyone testing this weekend?

Hey ladies,

I’m thinking of testing this weekend - nervous for the result as obviously a BFP is very much wanted. It’s our first cycle of actually deliberately trying for a baby....we already have a beautiful 4 year old daughter but due to medical reasons I was advised not to have another baby until they were resolved. Sadly I had a miscarriage back in July with a sort of unplanned pregnancy.
My partner has left the country to go back to work for a few months so I will be all alone testing and seeing the result - need some virtual friends for support :)

Curious if anyone else is testing soon? If so which test kit is the most reliable? AF is due on the 10th and I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to hold off until then. I think I’m around 7 dpo at the moment!

I agree @MNGal1987 it’s so hard @Lovegirl1232 it took my hormones a little while to settle down after mine. I hope your partner is supportive and making sure you are able to get plenty of rest

@pixiedust21 that’s why I splurge on the digital - I can’t be doing with the is it a line, is it not. I like it in black and white pregnant or not pregnant

organised5 · 05/02/2021 13:20

@Randomness12 me too with my DS!! Ok we just need to get through today and tomorrow....

Firsttry132 · 05/02/2021 12:50

@pixiedust21 yeah leaving it is probably the best thing to do although I know that’s MUCH easier said than done! Good luck🤞🏻

pixiedust21 · 05/02/2021 12:49

@Firsttry132 actually that's a good point maybe a big fat definite nothing would be helpful as it would stop me going insane over whether I see a line Grin

I'm not sure exactly how many days DPO as I didn't track it properly. Just know when AF is due which is now ha.

Ahhh just leaving it for a bit cos over thinking is sending me insane!

hels301990 · 05/02/2021 12:37

I'm still trying to hold off till Sunday...it's killing me lol

Firsttry132 · 05/02/2021 12:32

@pixiedust21 I don’t know if I’d prefer a faint line or no line at this point 😂 I can defo see something there though!! How many DPO are you? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻✨

Firsttry132 · 05/02/2021 12:30

@organised5 I’m going to test on Sunday if AF hasn’t come by then! Hoping yesterday was too early but not sure if there should have been a slight line or not ☹️ Let me know how you get on! Xx

pixiedust21 · 05/02/2021 12:06

Tested again this morning - I hate these faint lines as I am now not sure Grin I used a FRER and can normally never see anything in the box but I thought I could see a faint second line to the point where I said "oh my god" on the toilet haha!

But showed my husband and he couldn't see anything. And now I don't think I can. Just going to leave it, if I'm getting AF it will be today onwards as I'm on cd34 and average cycle length is 33 days. So would have thought line would be stronger if positive.

Definitely going to try and leave it a few days and only test again next week if still no AF.

Anyone testing this weekend?
Randomness12 · 05/02/2021 11:51

I am @organised5 I’m usually up at 6/7am with my DD so will be early at least!

organised5 · 05/02/2021 11:47

Is anyone else holding out to test until Sunday? I missed my FMU this morning so that helped stop me test today (it would have been scientifically impossible I think to get a BFP but it somehow doesn't stop me wanting to try). I think if I can keep busy tomorrow morning then I'll make it through to Sunday...

Firsttry132 · 05/02/2021 11:29

Didn’t mean to type negative again 🙄😂

Firsttry132 · 05/02/2021 11:28

@MNGal1987 BFN negative for me yesterday but i took it mid afternoon after a half hour hold, and a test which is to be used “from the day of expected period” and I’m not due till Sunday 😂 so I’m HOPING it was just a little too early. Not that hopeful though unfortunately! Good luck everyone 🤞🏻✨

@Randomness12 yes the digital ones are pretty expensive 🤑

I think I’ll head out later and pick up a couple of FRER (only because they detect lower amounts of hCG). If they come back positive then I’ll invest in the digital 😅

I know already I won’t be alike to hold off until Sunday 🤦🏼‍♀️

Symptom wise feeling tired and bloated so nothing unusual there. My boobs are sore and heavy which is common prior to AF. Only difference this month is my nipples seem bigger and very sensitive.

Keep everyone updated regardless of results 🤞🤞

I’ve been to Tesco and picked up a pack of 2 clear blue digital week indicator ones. They are so expensive!

I’m going to try and hold out until Sunday.

So far I’ve had no spotting as if I was going to come on today/tomorrow but as Wednesday would still be “normal” for me I’m trying to resist.

How’s everyone else doing?

unknownttc · 04/02/2021 16:17

Can defo see a line on that test!!

Didn't get a frer as they didn't have any so had to settle for an early clear blue

Firsttry132 · 04/02/2021 15:37

@pixiedust21 aww good luck and be sure to let us know!!🤞🏻🤞🏻

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 15:34

@organised5 @Firsttry132 thanks ladies. Maybe there's such a thing as "line blindness" haha. I do see what you mean but I guess trying not to read into it.

Good idea about testing again with FMU. And yeah I'll save the FRER. Can see us going bankrupt jf I was just buying those. Haha.

Thanks for the reassurance anyway! So glad I can babble on here! Xx

organised5 · 04/02/2021 15:29

@pixiedust21 I often don't see a line when other people do but I can definitely see one on yours. Test tomorrow morning!!!

Firsttry132 · 04/02/2021 15:26

@pixiedust21 I can see something on the 2nd one of the 2 you uploaded! The first ones a bit blurry!
I’d try tomorrow morning with FMU with another cheap one and save the FRER for another couple days time! Xx

pixiedust21 · 04/02/2021 15:23

@MNGal1987 this was just a Poundland one haha, I know last of the big spenders! I do have a FRER to use but don't want to just waste it lol.

I might test again tomorrow. I bought five of the Poundland ones Grin
