Hey ladies, I'm spending sooo much money each month on pregnancy tests... i think I'm addicted to peeing on sticks 😅 how early have you ladies actually got a positive test? My af is due in 6 days and i been testing all week - knowing its way to early but getting so disheartened seeing just the one line :( when should i start testing really?

@Girl2020 I see it too!! 🤞🏻

gianaInfertilitySucks · 31/05/2022 21:32

At some point I want to make the pregnancy test math, and see how much I've spent to have my hopes broken again and again... Still not one positive test after 2 years of trying

Girl2020 · 31/05/2022 21:16

Hi I am 10dpo and negative test I’m not due on till the 4th does this mean I have not got pregnant this time around or have I tested too early? X

Too early. Wait until at least day of period x

@Hayleyemma sorry for delay in response! My account wasn't working for ages for some reason.
How are you doing? What were the results of those tests in the end?

Hayleyemma · 04/05/2022 10:04

@WhatTheEll hope things are going okay for you, I’ve tested again this month and these are the results from today and a a couple days before. I think these are positive and not evaporate lines but would like some second opinions x

@emmilyb Glad everything is going well!! Yeah I can't believe I'm 19.5 weeks!
We're having a girl 💖 we have a boy already so one of each! I've got 20 week scan next week along with obstetrics scan, fetal medicine and consultant 😅
We were told our girl is on the petit side when I had a private scan the other week. Do you know what you're having?
I have an anterior placenta but have been feeling kicks since last week so that's reassuring xx

emmilyb · 11/04/2022 19:57

@WhatTheEll hey! Omg 19 weeks already it's mad how quickly it's going but also how much it's dragged🤣 I'm 22 weeks now I had my anomaly scan Friday just gone baby healthy but on the smaller side in the 2nd centile so having to go back in for growth scans ❤️ have a feeling it's to do with my gastric sleeve surgery I had a year ago as I can't eat much these days but baby is healthy which is good thankyou for asking,

How are things going with you and bump? Did you find out what you're having xx

WhatTheEll · 09/04/2022 08:55

@Hayleyemma you're welcome and good luck in your next cycle 💚
@emmilyb hey 👋 im 19 weeks now! Going well! How are you doing? How did your 20 week scan go? X

Hayleyemma · 09/04/2022 07:58

@emmilyb thank you for this, that’s made me feel like there is hope! It sucks and at first I thought it was implantation bleeding but it lasted for 5 days. @WhatTheEll thank you for al your support 🤍

emmilyb · 08/04/2022 23:28

@Hayleyemma sorry to hear that hun. I had almost identical tests to you that were quite clearly positives but very faint and were not getting much darker, I was getting pregnant on a ultra early digital clear blue but negative on clear blue digital week indicator and it unfortunately ended up being a chemical pregnancy. But don't be too disheartened, I got pregnant the next month and am now 22 weeks ❤️

How are we all doing on this thread it seems like only yesterday we were all in the same boat,
@WhatTheEll @StillJustWaiting how are you getting on any updates xx

WhatTheEll · 04/04/2022 17:33

@Hayleyemma Sorry to hear that ♥️♥️

Hayleyemma · 04/04/2022 09:19

@WhatTheEll I did another one the next day and again there was a faint line but I started bleeding yesterday not heavy but I am bleeding :( xx

WhatTheEll · 04/04/2022 09:17

@Hayleyemma
Hey, how's it looking now? X

Hayleyemma · 02/04/2022 13:37

@WhatTheEll little update, took these every day and this is what I got xx

When to test?
Hayleyemma · 25/03/2022 08:06

@WhatTheEll I think they are still negative atm but I’m due on, on Sunday so we will see 🤞🏼Xx

WhatTheEll · 25/03/2022 07:37

@Hayleyemma how did you get on with further testing?

WhatTheEll · 25/03/2022 07:37

@StillJustWaiting
I cannot believe those tests 👀 this is such a confusing time for you. It's great your gynae is being so productive. How do you feel about the laparoscopy? It will be good to get answers 💚
I'm doing fine. I'm 17 weeks now! I've got a quick private scan this morning so my mum can come and see. Xxx

@Hayleyemma i think i can see something on both test's but i will say the freedom tests are awful for giving false positives, we did a test my friend and i both used one each (she is on contraception and says there was jo possible way she could have been pregnant at that time) and we used tap water on one too, all three have very very faint lines! If you google them they are quite well known for it unfortunately :(
But frer are quite reliable tests! I am not sure if i can see something or not, i think i can but then again i might be wrong !

@WhatTheEll it definitely had lines, but it was definitely a false positive, i am on very heavy! I genuinely seem to be getting false positives every single month! No matter what tests i use, dr's have no idea what is going on ! But usually they are fainter more like proper quinters but this time it was there still faint but visible without squinting, straight away :( then period arrived cd 27... so frustrating and sad!
How are you getting on? How far along are you now? Xxx
