@Bibs23456 congratulations! So pleased for you and wishing you all the best that everything goes smoothly x

@TheUniqueMember here’s hoping we can resist testing too early.

@Slippedonmahbeans00 if you do end up testing just remember it would be still early depending what day you test

@Bibs23456 aaaah Congratulations!!!!! Can I ask what cycle this was? Any advice??
X

Been trying for 7 months, second baby. Honestly no advice, I’ve been doing exactly the same as everyone else. Tracking ovulation has definitely helped. Taking the test in the middle of the day after not drinking for a couple hours and just trying to be as chilled out as possible. I know easier said than done. Wishing you all the best x

Can confirm the 4 pregnancy tests I took this morning were all positive. Absolutely thrilled. Sending everyone baby dust xx

TheUniqueMember · 16/07/2026 15:04

I'm going to wait until 24th-26th (10-12dpo) if I can 😂

@Moominmamato3 yep. Absolutely gutted.
We are going away following week too so im tempted to test before but don't want to put a downer on the holiday

OP posts:
Moominmamato3 · 16/07/2026 12:45

Oh no! A false positive is rare isn’t it that must have been gutting and not surprised you were testing loads, I would have been the same!

We are away next week so thinking I will get some tests in to leave here and then can test the Saturday morning after we are back (25th at which point I’ll be 11dpo). Hoping a holiday will be a distraction!

@Moominmamato3 yes! Im the same! Made worse that I actually got a false positive on a digital last month! Every other one was negative queue excessive testing for like a week. Xx

@BigGirlPants01 you still have a good few days to go so fingers crossed.

@Bibs23456 I think I see a line, pictures never show up as clear as in person so hopefully it will get darker next time you test.

@lm1986 when are you planning on testing?

The waiting is definitely the worst bit at this point, I’m only 2dpo and keep counting and recounting working out when I could start testing. I always say I’m going to leave it until the day before my period is due and always cave and test early!

Slippedonmahbeans00 · 15/07/2026 21:42

@BigGirlPants01 I've read on here some people don't get until 14dpo so im keeping fingers crossed for you xx

Going to try any hold off till the weekend... AF due Sunday!

I am 7-10 dpo (I don’t track officially just try and enjoy the timeframe with my husband) I have taken the below test this evening and think there is the faintest line. Going to test again in the morning

Anyone else in the two week wait??

Moominmamato3 · 15/07/2026 14:59

Hey @TheUniqueMember I’m the same, 1dpo. Is this your first month trying?

Yes it is indeed! I only came off my birth control patch on the 23rd June 😊

@Moominmamato3 I know what you mean I had an early loss before my little one. So im excited but very anxious. I sort kf feel like.... right I just want to be pregnant now! Here is hoping this is the month for us all.

@TheUniqueMember aaah sending baby dust your way! Xx

Moominmamato3 · 15/07/2026 14:57

Thanks @Slippedonmahbeans00 - More worried than before, I have been lucky to never have any real issues in my previous pregnancies so the loss was a big shock (guess a bit naive but just thought it won’t happen to me after 3 straight forward pregnancies).

Me and DH have agreed to try until September as otherwise it just too big a gap for us between baby and youngest. Plus I’d be 38 by the time baby arrives. It’s odd but I think having an end date in mind helps as I know I wouldn’t cope with the disappointment month after month if I don’t conceive again.

Hope all goes well for your oldest, mine just had his mocks and that was stressful enough!

TheUniqueMember · 15/07/2026 14:52

Hello everyone, I'm 1dpo according to my apps and made sure to DTD in the fertile week. Ttc our second 😊 dd is 2yrs7m 😊
