7dpo today. I will test by 10/11 dpo. By now I'd usually have some breast soreness but I haven't felt any at all. Though I started taking chia seeds this month. Fingers crossed 🤞

8DPO for me. Almost onto Junes cycle. When’s everyone testing? I started but BFN

7dpo! Not tested yet will likely wait until 10/11dpo, had on/off period like cramps last 2 days which is making me think It’s unlikely to happen for us! Trying to have a relaxing day today!

6dpo Poppy fingers crossed, feeling oddly chilled out and not doing my head in with symptom checking for what feels like the first time in a long time.

Same dpo as you! I wish I wasn’t in my head. Debating if I test at 10dpo or wait until 12dpo (usually spot around then)!

Also in my fertile window! Expecting to ovulate tomorrow. Then the dreaded TWW begins 😑

thanks @ChasingRainbow5 around 14-15 DPO, I just did another test and very obviously not positive so I think it was a chemical :(

Oh no I’m so sorry :(

@PinkLemonade44 so sorry if it’s a chemical, they’re horrible to go through. Look after yourself ❤️

@PinkLemonade44 I'm so sorry Flowers

@Sunnybow94 you never know, once is all it takes!

@BountifulPantry I don't think I've tried the 6 day early tests, the earliest I've ever had a positive (with FRER/CB/easy at home) is 10DPO. And I've always sworn I'd wait til 12 😂

@PinkLemonade44 that sounds stressful, I'm sorry. How many DPO are you?

PinkLemonade44 · 22/05/2026 15:26

Having issues now too, the HCG tests are still faint lines 4 days after first testing, not getting darker, and other pregnancy tests are such a mix of faint lines or 'not pregnant' on digital and I'm going crazy

Sunnybow94 · 22/05/2026 14:17

@BountifulPantry I am too but I don’t have much hope this month. I was sick so only ended up dtd once around ovulation.
I think the 6 days early tests aren’t great and can cause anxiety but I’m also a massive hypocrite and have used them every month of trying 😆 it’s hard not to.

This is the thing- are these tests just going to cause me more problems, obsessive testing etc?

Hmmm…

Just entering the 2 week wait urgh! What does everyone think about the 6 days early pregnancy tests? Are they worth it? Are they accurate?

I took one with my third baby and found them to be rather accurate. I favour FRER tests over the CB ones but the CB one with me was correct. She’s four now aha.

I’m wary to believe it after getting false positives with these tests a cycle or two ago. I do feel weird though so keeping all my fingers and toes crossed aha 🫶

I’m not going insane, right? There is something there? Fingers crossed these aren’t like those horrible false positives I had the other month :(
