@Marie1990x well did you test this morning? 🤞🏻🤣 no I found lots of posts confirming my fears about chemicals and ectopics 🙈 tonight will be the last test I do as won't test in the morning we'll be leaving early. I tested this morning and I'm not sure what to think. Possibly a little darker. Compare for last round tests they were quite dark at 8/9/10dpt so I'm worried they're still faint.

@Daniki omg that is exactly me. I test more when I shouldn’t, then when it’s a decent dpo not as much 😂. I just went to pee with the intention of doing a test but it was basically like water so refrained. Feeling proud of myself 😂😂.

Noooo stop! We’re having positive thoughts only. Have you found any in a similar situation to you?

@Marie1990x best to leave it to FMU. I used to find that so much during the day with the early dpo's and then when it started getting to like 10/11 I'd test in the mornings and maybe the evening only 🤣 iv just been doom scrolling chemicals and have myself in an awful mindset why do we do it 🙈🤣 xx

@Daniki haha yeah! I’m surprised I haven’t tested again today tbh. I just know it’ll put me in an even moodier mood if I did though 😂.
Thank youuuu xx

@Marie1990x they'll do both they give you the number too! They like it to be over 150 so 🤞🏻 I found a pic of my tests from last time and my tests were a lot darker at this stage, I'm hoping it's just cuz it's mid day wee! Where you at tomorrow 9dpo? Xx

@Daniki aghhh I bet! At least it’s not too long until your beta on Friday. Will they just give you a yes or no, or talk through the figures?

I’m in such a foul mood tonight. Feel so stressed and snappy 😅

@Marie1990x I'm all over the place 🤣 Can't wait for beta to be over so I kinda know for definite, il use the other boots one in the morning but afraid if they're staying the same it's dangerous? God we should never test in the first place 🤣 so glad I didn't tell my husband he would be so annoyed at me for doing this to myself 🤣

Marie1990x · 12/02/2025 17:18

@Daniki i was going to say I think it looks the same? Frustrating it isn’t going darker but also positive it’s not going lighter! And the digital 😍😍. How do you feel?

OP posts:
Daniki · 12/02/2025 17:08

@Daniki hahaha glad you’ve got the goods! Excited for your update!!

I’m probably still going to test again tonight with my shitty easy@home’s 😂. My husband is off tomorrow so means it’ll stop me from testing continuously throughout the day hoping for a miracle 😂. I love working from home but my god the temptation is too much

Daniki · 12/02/2025 15:02

@Marie1990x I have them and a digital in my possession now 🤣 but I had a wee at work at 1.15 so trying to hold out another hour before testing 🤣

@Daniki haha I don’t blame you. Keep us updated when you do another!
Yeah definitely, I need the cheapies to scratch the itch daily

Daniki · 12/02/2025 11:02

@Marie1990x haha I know they're so expensive! Iv to run to town now later so I'm defo going to end up buying them 🫣 one step used to be great when i was pregnant with my son but they turned shit in the last year or two! Not great for us addicts 😂

Marie1990x · 12/02/2025 10:59

@Daniki yeah I’ve heard one step are bad for them. I used to use wondfo and they were shocking too. Guess I can’t complain too much because they’re cheap 😂. My testing addiction couldn’t afford so many boots and Frer’s 😂. I have a couple boots one I’ll save for later this week

OP posts:
Daniki · 12/02/2025 10:48

@Marie1990x that's fairly bad! I used to use the one step ones and they were getting so bad for indents and not getting darker etc, and premom ones were as bad! Just been sticking to the aul reliable boots ones they never usually steer ya wrong 🫣

@Daniki haha absolutely! My brother and my brother in law’a birthday are December too so it’s a very busy month 🤣.

Oh I bet you are! You’ve been really strong not going out for more. But tbf there’s no denying it’s a BFP and testing all the time will drive you mad too won’t it.

I don’t think I’ll get easy@home again. These indents something else. Turned it to b&w to check it clearer and they’re soooo bad. It’s not in the right place, otherwise I’d have thought it could be real. Never had any issues with them before so guessing I’ve got a bad batch

Marie1990x · 12/02/2025 08:36

@Daniki haha yeahhhh I know. My daughter’s birthday is 2 weeks before Christmas and that’s close enough 🤣. It will be off the cards for us anyway with this procedure.

How you feeling today? Ofc I tested again, and ofc bfn

@Marie1990x aw haha I would love a Christmas baby! My friend was due Christmas Day but went over anyway 🤗 chances of it falling that is minuscule!

@Keirii94 what have they done so far, just bloods? I think it’s normal to do a scan before? That’s pretty much how mine went, bloods, ultrasound, more bloods, fertility consultation, more bloods and swabs/cervix check, hycosy (coming up), then second consultation then finally medication 😅 it’s not a quick process is it, annoyingly. I started the process in august, so by the time I’ve had my hycosy it’ll have been 8 months 😣.

Hopefully you get a BFP and not AF! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yepppp some people are just fortunate aren’t they while we’re stuck in this shitty situation 🙃
