Obsessed with pregnancy tests...

[MissClarke86]

I fear I'm become a bit obsessed with pregnancy tests!

Small chance I might have caught this month, "period" came early and I wondered if it might be implantation, but I have literally POAS about 4 times over the last 3 days... I'm also obsessed with looking at pics people have posted looking for faint lines.

Most people seem nervous about testing and want to wait to avoid a BFN falsely but I just can't stop...Someone stop me!

Lol @erectpenis!!
Thanks ladies, I don't want to get my hopes up as FRER tests are notorious for imaginary lines!

I'm fighting the urge to run to boots to buy a whole load of tests😳. Perhaps Amazon is a better/cheaper option.

I bought LOADS of pregnancy tests from Amazon!!!

That's a clear line to me!!! Congratulations :)

I was going to POAS again after work but OH got home...I'm hiding my secret addiction from him!!

I even stopped at the shops as I decided I wanted a FRER but couldn't find any, so left with cookies instead!!

I'm wanting to test too although I think it's a very slim-to-none chance I am pregnant. I wondered how soon I can test? The Ovia app says my period's due in 3 days but I think it may be wrong.

If in doubt about whether to test or not you should always test

I went to pick up a Macdonalds and snuck into Boots...I'm now the proud owner of four FRERs burning a hole in my pocket (drawer). They were buy one get one free...

Is this a positive? Read things about FRER giving false positives so I can see a line but now I'm not so sure!

That's a definite line. Congratulations!

Definitely a line! Congrats :)

Eek! See, POAS a million times a day is OK after all! Had a MC last time so trying not to get too excited but fingers crossed

I'm even more addicted now... Woke up at 4AM, POAS and then couldn't sleep because it looked slightly lighter than yesterday's!

It looks like a definite line MissClarke, more clearer than mine fingers crossed. I'll have to wait for my 2nd attempt because I have no tests☹️

I have found my people!

I used to love magic pens/ink and chromatography etc as a child, I think it's a bit like that...
Even when I've done pg tests in the past worrying and wanting to NOT be pregnant, I've always been a bit secretly miffed that I have "failed" to make the magic lines appear.

Here's my latest batch. Daily internet cheapies since 10 DPO. The increasingly dark line is a thing of beauty

I agree with you about the chromatography, I like the science behind it. It's like magic!

ICs aren't showing positive yet for me, but FRER and digital I bought today are!

Congrats missclarke! How many dpo are you? I did a test on a frer this morning (10 dpo) and could only make out what I think is an indent line...yours is much stronger than what I had Xx

I think I'm 12DPO. The lines are still quite light though. Dont loose hope!!

Here is what probably doesn't count as I have only just taken the photo now but the test was done this morning. Can anyone else see the indent line or am I going mad??

Sorry slightly better pic attached - you really do have to squint though!!

Eeeeakk miss clarke!!! Amazing line! Congratulations. See it's ok to pee on 6 million sticks. If you try hard enough eventually the lines will appear! Xxx

I had what could have been implantation bleeding 14 days ago and af is due any time but no signs - yet!!

I've been poas every day for the last 10 days or so!! I think I might get myself a frer or a Superdrug own brand for tomorrow's fmu (which I'll put to one side first thing!!) I do have some Clearblue (non digital) tests but understand they are less sensitive so decided not to use waste them just yet!!

Lawyer I can see a line on that first one. I'd be tempted to think it's positive! Test again in a day or two and let us know!!

MissClarke I may need to remortgage the house to spend on pregnancy tests! I've looked at it again and there's definitely a line - you have to look at it in the light and squint very hard but there is an evap or something line. AF due on Sunday so should know soon enough but will keep you all posted

There's definitely a line. Personally I've never seen an evap line, and I find the FRERs take a little while to properly develop. How long did it take for the line to come up?

I'm not sure how long it took for the line to come up as i looked at it and thought bah it is negative and then picked it back up over 30 mins later and did a good squint. So could be well outside of the time period!! I'll test again on Saturday to see if anything different happens
