I was certain this month. (Need to vent)

[smac96]

Niggly cramps, tiredness, nausea, aching boobs that haven't stopped since ovulation - I'm deffos pregnant I thought.

Did a test at 6 days before period due - nothing
5 days before - nothing
4 days before - nothing
3 days before - possibly a faint line, but only if you squint
2 days before - A BLUE LINE!!! (Faint, but there (middle test)) tested at around 11pm
1 day before - digital test just to make sure - not a dickybird. 'Not pregnant'. Tested at 8am, first wee of the day.

Before you all come for me - I bulk bought ALOT of tests because I knew that my anxiety wouldn't allow me to not test once I had it in my head. I'm aware that they're expensive but it's worth paying for my piece of mind.

It's coming up to a year of ttc now and it's getting harder each month. We had a loss in Feb and it's completely broken us. How do you keep your spirits up?? I suffer badly with my mental health (anxiety and depression). My partner is amazing but I can tell that it is starting to get to him now too.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time OP. TTC is one of that hardest things to go through. I'm on 18 months now with 2 losses.
Your two line tests look positive to me. If you're testing before you're even due on the digital may not be sensitive enough. The last thing I want to do is give you false hope but digital tests are known to not be anywhere near as sensitive. I would recommend a FRER. They've always been accurate for me. I know blue dye tests have a bad reputation on here. Good luck OP.

Did you order your CB digital online? Just yesterday I was reading the reviews on amazon and there are lots saying the test was faulty probably damaged in transit. People were saying about false negatives and false positives so do not necessarily trust the digital

@Literaryseed same here - 18 months with 2 losses. Another negative test this morning and this month I thought I was in luck. Due sat so think period is just coming earlier (had spotting for last few days which I foolishly hoped was implantation bleeding). Good luck to you both x

So sorry its been such a journey for you. I can see the line on the test, and as pp said, digital tests need a lot more hcg to register as pregnant. Get some pink dye tests to check. Good luck OP

@smac96 most of the time I struggle to keep positive. Sometimes I tell myself I should enjoy the time not being pregnant, because if I ever get pregnant again I'm going to be a ball of anxiety. It's bloody hard and I hope you get your rainbow soon x

I'm not sure from your post but if you haven't had your period yet I think worth testing again. I only ever got a very very faint line the day my period was due so it's still early. Hope it works out.

It's so hard isn't it...I go from a month of bbt and opk testing, taking vits etc to a month of trying not to think about it and 'go with the flow' But you can't not think about it and it never works come ovulation 😂
It's too difficult when people tell you to stop and relax when it's all you think about.
Stay strong, we've got this 🙌🏻 it will happen for us ❤️

There is a chance your digital is a false negative as they are less sensitive. I had a negative digital after faint positive clear blue and FRER and I’m now 24 weeks pregnant.

If your period doesn’t arrive in the next few days, test again.

I’ll add that I got my BFP on cycle 13 after an early loss. Try not to lose hope.

@smac96 I was completely the same this month. I was convinced I was pregnant as I had so many symptoms as felt so different to previous months. But then I got a BFN and AF.

We are now in our 12 month of TTC and it's starting to get to the both of us too. I have had a telephone consultation with our doctor and am arranging tests. My partner is going to do the same. I feel good to be taking more control of the situation.

Sending you positive thoughts

I think you need to test again with a frer as digitals don't pick up often or n the very early days. I didn't get a positive on digital till I was 2/3 weeks last time. I think the clear blue looks very promising. Good luck x

Thankyou all for your lovely words of encouragement and well wishes ❤️

More positive signs today - I'm peeing for England!!!

Still got something going on in my lower belly, feels weird... but not painful or anything other than the odd very mild cramp... never really get any period symptoms before hand so doubtful that it's that. But also very sceptical to let my guard down and tell the other half what's going on... so that's why I'm glad that I've got you lot to support me no matter what the outcome.

Will get some red dye tests today... Thankyou for that suggestion.

And VERY pleased that some of you mentioned irregularities and faults with digi tests. I dipped it this morning and instantly said to myself 'you know it's going to be negative...' xx

@smac96 keep us updated!! Good luck 😊 xx

Cheering for you @smac96 ! I got a negative on a digi two days before AF was due, got a positive digi the day after it was due

It's so crushing seeing the "not pregnant" isn't it but your tests look a lot like mine and similar symptoms and I'm 4 weeks now

Please keep us updated!

Another update:
Turns out I had calculated this month allll wrong. Checked my app and I tested way before I should have. I'm 2 days off my period now, which is usually BANG on but I've had very very very light (literally a pink tint when wiping) bleeding today. A good sign?? I daren't test again. I'm genuinely terrified 😅

I’d do another test if you have one, not a digital though. Those other 2 look positive to me. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Just to note - breasts being sore can also be a sign of estrogen dominance - www.floliving.com/natural-remedies-for-breast-tenderness/

I too got excited in previous months with this 'symptom' - all along it's actually a negative sign lol

Update:
Not too sure what's going on but I highly highly doubt that it's a baby ☹️ think this is now too heavy for implantation bleeding, though still not due on until tomorrow and I'm usually bang on (never ever early/late/irregular). Now got headaches and that weird feeling in my lower belly is still there...I've been attached to my hot water bottle for about 4 days now.

Never mind. There's always next month... and the month after... and the month after... and the month after that 😪

@smac96 I'm sorry to hear that! Stress and the current situation can affect cycle lengths so it could be because of that. Trust me, I know it's hard but sending positive thoughts to you.

Oh I'm sorry :( sending a virtual hug. Xx

Another update (more so I can keep track of I go to drs!):
Had one day if enough bleeding to warrant a panty liner, but bright pinky red in colour. Honestly thought it was enough to be a period and not implantation bleeding. Now barely anything. Just a tiny bit when I wipe. My periods are usually regular as clockwork and last 5 days.

I've kept all my tests and they ALL have lines on. Now don't get me wrong, these could be evap lines. They've been sat in my drawer since I did them.

Just posting on here to keep myself sane. I still haven't told my other half and I'm going out of my mind!! See what's going on tomorrow and I'll call drs x

Invert pic cause my photo skills are terrible.
Honestly they could all entirely be evap lines (except the CB, which came up almost instantly)

I wouldn’t use the FRER to look at. It’s a flooded test.

@Smac96 bless you what a rollercoaster! The frer in last comment i would disregard. But I would say your tests are positive. Try getting another frer and take that either in the morning or after a long wee hold. Keeping everything crossed!
