I tested early on my two pregnancies before and had two successful pregnancies then I had an early miscarriage and a chemical miscarriage last year and I was trying my hardest not to test early because of the heartbreak I experienced from the last two times. I’ve been trying this month and hoping I get a positive next month but I don’t know how I am going to stop myself from testing early, I worry so much after having the miscarriages anyone else finding it hard not to test so early x

Thank you ladies! I’m using wondfo but I feel like they just leave horrible evaps, even though I know I just shouldn’t look at them later😂

Clearly all our tips were utter trash 🙈🙈

🤣 And to think this thread was called tips on how to avoid testing early 😂 I can't believe most of you are pregnant! (I don't count as I think I first popped on when I got my own squinter at 9dpo rather than beforehand!) I still kinda regret testing early as it was even longer uncertainty! I'm only just past 5 weeks but feel like I've known forever 😂

I'm feeling nauseous. But can't decide if it's pregnancy related or not. I'm always one who always talks herself out of it being pregnancy related, especially because both my girls and all (except the last mmc) were symptomless until week 6 where I basically just had tiredness and bleeding
Also the tiredness but that could just be because it's finally sunny and that makes me tired, or the kids being on half term, or the lack of decent sleep which also maybe pregnancy related 😅😅😅

9 dpo is when I got this test and it’s just about a visible line. What kind of tests are you using x @LucyLou0527

@Laria19 ooh what a fab line! But am completely with you in one day at a time territory. Not sure when it will start to feel real. There are so many hurdles to pass first...

Laria19 · 04/03/2025 10:02

Thank you 😊 just have to take each day as it comes and hope it sticks 🙏x
