Positive or just wishful thinking??

Today is 9dpo and I took my first test this morning using a FRED test. I can see a very faint line, do you? It appeared after 2/3 mins.
I'm reading a lot about evap lines so I'm getting more anxious...need to relax.

Any advice much appreciated, thank you

@Bluets
Your have to let me know how the clear blue goes. I have one of them left so will do at the weekend. I should be 5+1 today.

I've been feeling exhausted tbh, and just a dull ache/crap in the evenings. Headaches have subsided for now thankfully.

I have my booking in and dating scan booked now too, mines on Monday 7th March, when's yours? x

@EsouthA hey! Great line and well done on the willpower, that's seriously impressive. And congratulations to you 🎉🎉🎉 how are you feeling?

I'm doing my final CB digi today so hoping to get the 3+ weeks as I think I'm 5+2 today going off LMP. I did do an easy@home on Monday as I have a bunch leftover from my OPK kit and the line was really dark, it was a relief. I have my booking in and first scan dates now, it's all feeling quite real!

How are you getting on? Did the clear blue progress like you mentioned?
I took my next test this morning (cannot believe I could control myself to wait this long) it's still looking positive to me.[/quote]
That's a very positive test. Congratulations x

Morning @esoutha totally agree, we're in this together! Tested this morning, a bit darker still which is reassuring. Still not a blazing thick dark "look at me I'm so pregnant" line but have to remember it's still early days at 14 dpo. Have one CB digi weeks indicator left which I'll take late next week and hope it's progressed from 1-2 weeks and then that's it - no more!

Let me know how get on with yours ☺️

And oh boy those are long shifts and mixing early pregnancy on top of that must be tiring. Symptoms for me, I'm tired too, fell asleep at lunch break then again on the sofa after work, went to bed at 10 last night and had no trouble falling asleep 😂 Sore boobs although that is subsiding, on and off cramping and also headaches.

@Bluets
I would test tomorrow but have no tests left so will have to purchase some more tomorrow and go on Thursday/Friday again.
How have u been feeling?
I'm so exhausted 😴 I'm a nurse so doing 12/14 hour shifts are tiring at the best of times but I do feel more tired than normal. My mood swings are also still going strong 😂
Let me know how by our tests go tomorrow, I feel like we're in this together 🤞🏻

Thanks so much @therunecaster 😊

And congratulations to you too @esoutha 🎉🎉

My FRER line is also still fairly faint so I'm going to test again tomorrow too and then step away from the sticks... (If I can!)

@Bluets
Yey! Congratulations.

So mine are still positive too this morning.
Keeping everything crossed for us 🤞🏻
I'm only 12dpo so the line is still faint on the FRED but I'll test again at 14dpo and hopefully it's darkening.

[quote Bluets]@EsouthA how are you getting on?

I tested this morning and got I suppose what is a fairly unequivocal BFP! Now just trying to enjoy it and not freak out it'll end up being a chemical. I really didn't expect to be so worried and anxious but hopefully it'll subside after next week![/quote]
Congratulations 🥳

Therunecaster · 08/02/2022 06:31

Any news? Got my fingers crossed for you.

@EsouthA oh no! Although good to hold out as long as possible. I read if you get up early and need a hand remembering, putting the toilet seat down and the pregnancy test on top of the seat helps!

Tested this morning, slightly darker line on FRER, also a line on the easy @ home tests that come with the OPKS. However, my cramping has increased and I really feel like I'm going to get my period, which is due today. Not going to do any additional tests for a few more days and see what happens with AF.

Fingers crossed for you when you next test!

@Bluets that looks just like mine if not more clear so fingers crossed we're both lucky this month 🤞🏻
I didn't do another test so will do another tomorrow.
Keep me updated x

This is mine from yesterday, the faint line appeared before the 3 minutes were up. Really hoping it's a positive and not an indent/evap line but at the same time trying to convince myself it is, to avoid disappointment. Funny business this TTC malarkey

Positive or just wishful thinking??
Bluets · 06/02/2022 09:12

@EsouthA oops we posted at the same time! That's looking great!! Hope you continue to get positive results 🤞

Decaffe · 06/02/2022 09:10

I am the queen of FRER indents (to the point I will never buy them again), and… that ain’t no indent! 🥳

Bluets · 06/02/2022 09:07

@EsouthA how are you getting on? I used a CB Digi this morning but got the error image, nightmare! By the time I'd realised it was too late. So I'll have to wait until tomorrow (which is when my period is due so probably for the best anyway)

@Bluets

Morning all, I tested again at 10dpo this morning and although the line is just as faint I'm pretty sure it's pink not grey. What do you think?
Holding out hope 🤞🏻 I don't have a 6 days early clear blue just a normal digital one bu weeks so I may do that one later.

How did your tests go this morning?

Good luck for tomorrow's test xx

Chichimcgee · 05/02/2022 17:23

That’s just like my 10dpo line, I’m now 37 weeks pregnant!
Definitely do a clear blue one, I couldn’t believe it until I saw the word ‘pregnant’ Smile

Bluets · 05/02/2022 17:20

@Curlywurly3 that's amazing, congratulations!
