9DPO - positive is this possible?

Hi everyone!

im 9DPO today and I’ve just tested and I think I’ve got a positive. Unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and my period arrived on time so I’m a bit sceptical this time round. Kicking myself for testing early really. :(

Me too, I'm so tired during the day but then go to bed and can't sleep, then this morning I woke at 3.30am and couldn't get back. I wasn't expecting insomnia either, not this early on.

Thank you xx my first morning tests always seem to be lighter too, but i do get up to pee during the night so maybe that's why.

I've just done another clearblue and boots test the boots is the extra early one but both of them look pretty OK I think. Its just the little strips I dont seem to be getting very dark lines really x
These are my tests from just now, probably 3rd/4th mu, but tests are darker than my fmu strangely

The clear blue one and boots one is so so strong!!!! I’ve got clear blue ones coming tomorrow! Xx

Oh my goodness, the insomnia is real for me too @esunny @Applecrumble9. Don't get to sleep until 2am and then I'm awake every hour! Not a symptom I was expecting.

@Applecrumble9 stay positive knowing you're testing positive on both - easier said than done I know!

Yours look so promising, and so much darker than mine. I'm getting loads of cramps and have very sore boobs and insomnia but nothing else. Those tests for me are still so so light but the clearblue blue dye are a lot darker so I really dont know what to think.
The biggest congratulations to you x

Thank you!! If you’re testing positive on both I’d try not too worry yet (easier said then done because I’m honestly the same!) I have insomnia too! Wake up at 5am and can’t go back to sleep! X

Morning! I know I said I wouldn’t test everyday but here I am 😐 bottom is todays! No sign of spotting so fingers crossed no period comes Sunday 🤞🏾

@Applecrumble9 It's so stressful isn't it? Glad to hear you're getting stronger lines with Clearblue.

I've taken another test on SMU and it was immediately darker so feeling a bit relieved. The below is 9dpo, 10dpo, 11dpo FMU and 11dpo SMU.

Thats so much stronger the biggest congratulations i think if i had progression like yours id be feeling really optimistic. My SMU yesterday was stronger too, its so strange. And so stressful and worrying. I've so many cramps and because early pregnancy and pms symptoms are so similar I dont know if its a good or bad thing. I'm just so stressed and worried and really just hoping that this works out this time x

I had faint positives at 9 and 10 dpo. They're currently playing Minecraft together

I love this xxx

ThisOrangeCat · 02/01/2025 10:49

It's definitely darker!
I've seen progression but mine still looks really light. Getting a bit nervous but trying to stay calm as it's still so early. I have some new FRER tests arriving tomorrow so will be testing with those again too.
My only real symptom at the moment is insomnia - no more cramping, no back pain. Hoping everything is ok.
If I continue seeing progression over the weekend I'm thinking about booking in an early viability scan for some reassurance...

My test this morning is like yours, I got the best result on the clearblue blue dye but they are known for indent lines and other issues so I'm not sure.
Any of my pink dye are really light.

This was this morning for me after maybe 5/6 mins, taken under flash, it looked much lighter in pictures with no flash on camera.
I'm 12 dpo today so its hard to know. Period would be due on Sunday.
I wish I could just get nice dark thick lines, I had this last time with CP, definite lines but they were light/didn't progress so thats whats making me panic this time x

@esunny that looks so reassuring. I also had a CP last month so I know how you must feel now not wanting to get excited xx try to remind yourself that most CPs are because something was not right with the embryo, so your body was super clever at recognising that early on. It's sad but there's no reason one CP would mean this one is CP too 🙏

Thank you so much. This made me feel so much better 🩷

Oh yours is darker for sure, i felt my easy @ home was a bit lighter this morning, not nearly as dark as I thought it would be. Had to run out the door to work so had no time to let it dry but it looked lighter to me 😭 and with the cramps and all I'm so scared. Had some nausea yesterday but that's gone now too

Oh bless you! I think it’s best resting every 48 hours to see a real difference as hcg doubles then! Xx

@ThisOrangeCat @esunny I caved and tested again using 2 different tests (even though I swore i wouldn't do this to myself again) But it's looking a bit more positive I think, both results were within 2/3 mins after taking the test, so fingers crossed again for us all that 2025 is going to be our year xxx

That’s so clear! Congrats 🥰
