@Daniki yeah I feel a bit more confident now it’s on 2 tests 🫣. It’s very pink in person, so frustrating it’s not showing up in the photos.

Isn’t it mad how we’ve been on this thread for so long and (hopefully) both got positives within a month of each other 😂. Also hoping it’s real so I don’t have to go through with the hycosy I was dreading 😅😅🤣

@Marie1990xthat recent test looks better than the first one too! I’m sure it’s real, it would be the cruellest thing ever to not be!! Defo, and test in the morning with fresh wee 🤣🫶🏻

@Daniki I don’t think I’m going to believe it until I see it in words. Going to try and forget about it for now (doubtful that will happen 😂) and wait until the morning. Got to pick my daughter up from nursery soon anyway so I’m sure she’ll keep my mind occupied. Praying it’s real 🤞🏻🤍

@Daniki couldn’t hold it in any longer. It still wasn’t very concentrated annoyingly but still tested. Opened a new box instead of using the second from earlier, just in case it was a faulty batch/box.

another faint line. Top one from earlier (dried) and bottom just now

@Daniki yeah thought that too about waiting to get a positive digital (if I do). I don’t think he’d believe it either unless it was written in black and white.

I’m dying for the loo already! I’m so thirsty from all these emotions but holding off drinking any water.

2 hours to go 😅

@Marie1990xgive it a few days sure and see how the tests go 🥹 could hand him a digital with the words on it and see his shocked face! 🤣🙌🏻 xx

@Daniki I can’t decide, I don’t want to get his hopes up 😂. Last time I told my mum before anyone and probably would have this time, but with it being Mother’s Day next week I’m going to tell her then (if it’s real 😅) x

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 13:01

@Daniki yeah will try hold it for at least 3 hours. The last one I literally squeezed out after an hours hold 😅.

it’s a good job work is quiet today as I cannot concentrate. Going to clean my house to keep myself occupied for 3 hours 😂😂

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 12:56

@Marie1990xyep I was the same! If you can try and hold for at least 3 hours I think a 4 hr hold is equivalent to FMU! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 12:53

@Daniki I’ve found the pic of my frer with my daughter and it’s not much stronger than this and that was 12dpo with FMU.
Time will tell, I’m definitely going to test again next time I need the loo if it’s a decent strength 😂😂.

I remember last time I didn’t even think about it not being real, just got my BFP and that was it, no questioning it or anything. The good old naive days 😅

@Marie1990xim pretty sure mine have looked like that at the very start. But I always delete my pics I must go hunting and see can I find them! I know that’s it when it’s been so long it’s very hard to believe it’s happening. I wonder is it because yous had made a decision on when to stop etc!! And some of the pressure off with the tube flushing next month! 🙏

@Daniki I think I used them in the past but wasn’t pregnant, don’t recall ever seeing an evap on them in the past. It’s dried now and still very pink, although hard to tell on the photo.

I’ve just been back to boots and got 2 more boxes 😅. I’ll definitely be doing another one tonight, although I’m scared in case for some reason this isn’t real. After soooo long I just can’t wrap my head around the possibility of it actually happening 🥹🤍

@Daniki I am honestly in disbelief. As I was driving to boots I was thinking to myself I’m being an idiot and there will be nothing there and I’m just wasting money.

It’s definitely pink and much more obvious in person. I only got one pack now I’m gonna have to go get some more 😂.

I’m an emotional wreck. Trying not to get ahead of myself and just hoping it sticks 🥹🥹

@Daniki ah stuff it I’m off to boots 🤣. Will nip out on my lunch and try not pee before then.

Nope I don’t have any OPK’s left either 🤦🏻‍♀️

Daniki · 19/03/2025 09:52

@Marie1990xid go to boots, I couldn’t wait 🤣 very unlucky to have so many evaps. Have you any opk tests to see what they’re like?

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 09:48

@Daniki I’m torn. One minute I’m trying to keep faith and thinking to myself it’s a typical dpo for it and it’s clearer than yesterday. But on the other (more logical) hand, I’m thinking they’re multiple bad evaps, negative frer yesterday etc it cannot be real. Also toying with whether or not to go to boots 😂

Daniki · 19/03/2025 09:19

@Marie1990xok that’s good defo would get a faint line at 10dpo! Mine with my son at 12dpo was so faint! Oh please god it’s a real line 🙏🙏🙏
