When is the earliest you would test?

[Sesamechick]

AF every month 27th
Last AF December 27th
positive ovulation test Jan 15th. DTD 14th & 15th. AF due Jan 27th.
When is the earliest you would test?
I'm definitely not imagining it but have more discharge than usual, stomach always rumbling even while eating. Gas, horrendous low back pain and cramps. Sorry if tmi.
I know alot is common AF signs....but you know how it is when you are hopeful.
Thanks x

Second baby, and didn’t use FMU it was second urine of the day

@Leah2501 amazing, congrats!

I'm 13dpo today and think I got a faint line, maybe...
I tested on Monday (11dpo) and there was no sign of anything. Hoping testing tomorrow, when AF is actually due will give me a clearer line 🙏🤞

Bleeding now so must have been a false one. Was definitely something there though 😩 good luck OP x

@mich20208
I'm so sorry, so disappointing for you. (((Hugs)))

Morning all.
I'm probably being pathetic and embarrassing myself by posting this but does anyone see anything or am I squinting so hard I have made my eyesight worse
Personally, I dont see anything except desperation.

Not in the first pic but in the second and third there is what looks like the beginning of a line.
I know it's hard to get on camera but does it have any colour to it? Are the tests dry?

I know how you feel - when I was TTC I was exactly the same peeing on sticks twice a day and squinting at them all. Don't want to give false hope but that's how mine looked on ICs before my period was due and then it wasn't long after before I got a glaring positive on a FRER.

@zippityzip
Thanks for your reply; I've already thrown them out bc i convinced myself i was seeing things.
I'll definitely test again tomorrow.....eh, who am I kidding. Will prob test later today I buy the cheap ones from Poundland. My AF due Wed 27th. Just hate saying I'm having such and such symptoms because I feel like a con. Might just be AF symptoms but I'm hoping not.
How long before your AF did you get a positive? X

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/

This website tells you the % of pregnant women who test positive for each DPO. Testing early is just the road to frustration and heartbreak. Whenever I've tested positive it's been very obvious, no doubt and squinting.

I know you are right, very difficult for me not to test even though I know it's very unlikely I would get a + now. Frustrating x

Those tests look like they’re very very very faint - squinty lines. I had some tests that looked like this 2 days ago. Like you I just binned and assumed were negative.

@Sesamechick My ICs and poundshop tests didn't go very dark until I was around 6 weeks! But the FRER was clear from the day of my missed period.
I'll see if I can get a pic...

So the middle test is an OPK (I wanted to compare where the lines would be).

Had I not have been TTC I would have looked at those and just assumed they were negative but did the filters and the squinting. And these were taken the day after my period was due.

I'm quietly hopeful for you.

@Leah2501
When is your AF due?

@zippityzip
I see what you mean! I normally wouldn't test so early or given my test a second glance but I have so many symptoms. Really hoping!
I'll pick up FRER today but won't use it till a day before AF due.

I played about with yours. (Sorry I'm bored).

My AF is due tomorrow

@Leah2501 good luck!!

@zippityzip haha dont be sorry.
Thank you!! Def see a v v faint line
Lets hope !!!!!!

AF due Wed so would be quite surprised if I got a dark positive at this stage!

Did another IC this morning, I thought there was a faint line, but DH says it's because I'm looking for it. I woke up this morning dizzy and had to go back to bed for a while.

@MrsC89
Hope you're okay lovely. How you feeling after your rest? X

@Sesamechick feeling better now thanks, dizziness has completely gone!
How are you doing?

@MrsC89 glad you feeling better.
How are your other symptoms.
Im alright thanks for asking; have all these strange symptoms which I don't usually get but I'm trying to keep myself grounded. AF due Wrd 27th. You're the 26th right?
Still have horrendous back pain, not sleeping, had horrendous leg cramps last night. I'm also getting strange cramps. Not painful but feels more like pressure if that makes sense?!
The TWW anyways is such a horrible wait but now when AF is due in less than a week it's like im just desperate. I know im not going to be able to only test closer to AF. Probably be daily

I’ve been TTC for quite a while now and usually have a rule not to test as I find a neg test more upsetting than AF arriving. Broke my own rule and tested last month because it was my birthday, and broke my rule again today at 10dpo because I’ve been having weird burning sensations in my boobs! Not sure what that’s about.

First test had the tiniest shadow on it, so did a second with the same FMU and nothing. Going to try really hard to just wait until AF is due on 26th now, or at least a couple more days .

@CausingChaos2

I can definitely see something in the pic with 2 tests especially the top one! I totally agree with you that a negative is more upsetting than AF! When is AF due??
Fingers crossed for you!!! Its an emotionally draining journey xx

@Sesamechick yes AF due 26th. I have a 30 day cycle and I'm here thinking to myself well today is CD 27 and the norm is 28 day cycle, going to try and use that as an excuse to DH and see if he reveals the location of the FRER's 🤣
I have a fullness in my lower abdomen, I assume that's near enough the uterus. Today I can't seem to go more than 2 hours without going for a pee. Nipples are sensitive. Feeling a little sicky.

@CausingChaos2 there is something on that top one in the photo of the 2. This is why I hate IC's but they seem to satisfy my POAS addiction
