Testing buddies

[Danani]

Planning to test on Tue and would love some company. Anyone else planning to test then or next week? Would love some company and hopefully a bunch of BFPs!!

@cockneysparra1 you with me?!

Yes I've just used my teeth to tear into a test. Literally waiting for the 5 min timer now 😬😬😬

Omg!!

Yay! Congratulations! No squinting for that that one at all!

amazing @cockneysparra1!!!! Huge congratulations 🎉 now tell us your symptoms so we can obsess and compare over them, please! 😅

OMG what a line!!! Congratulations @cockneysparra1!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm really shocked! Thanks everyone.

I have quite strong tummy cramps at the moment so I hope that's nothing bad! It's the only symptom I have to be honest. Xxx

Well?? @CrazyCatLady75340 looking at you 👀

I'll test in the morning and update! I want to to do another one now, but I've literally already pi$$ed away money this morning on non FMU 😂 ahhhhh!!

Ahh tomorrow morning it is then! 🤞🏻

Congratulations @cockneysparra1 that’s such a strong line!!! So happy for you xx

Wow congratulations @cockneysparra1 🎉

Great results, especially with the afternoon wee.

I’m on my way home, had dinner out with my sister, I’m telling myself I must not test tonight 😬

Also, TMI but I’ve finally got a “blob” of white, jelly like discharge toda. I’ve been pretty much dry since my ovulation

Thanks so much everyone! God I hope it sticks now! Lost my first one at 13 weeks so don't want to get carried away!

As for symptoms.... I honestly haven't had many. Been super tired but put that down to being busy at work. Felt quite 'dry' down there (tmi) but starting to get a bit of discharge now. No sore boobs. Have had cramps very similar to when I get AF which is why I thought I was out! I was due on today so was probably 13 or 14 dpo. Xxx

Congrats cockneysparra that’s awesome! X

Morning everyone, hope your tests show something!

I had to get up for a wee just before six only to see a BFN🙄

I must say though, them Clear blue tests are nice & easy to use. And because it’s digital, you can’t obsess over line that isn’t there - it’s either pregnant or not pregnant, can’t argue that😂

I won’t be testing anymore this week, unless I’m late.

Good luck ladies🎉 ✨

Morning ladies! BFN for me too, although I'm using a cheap brand which claim to be like FR's. I have some actual FR tests coming tomorrow. I've had so many symptoms I'm really starting to question if it's all in my head though 😂

Had some spotting this morning so think I’m out this month, looks like AF is probably on her way

Hi everyone, against my better judgment I tested this morning AGAIN. and again BFN. I think I've had enough disappointment for this week, so probably will wait for AF on Fri now.

Yeah I hear you @Danani , I’m not testing unless I miss my period. Let’s keep positive 🌸 xx

We're not out out yet guys! I'm going to test tomorrow with an FRER, but if nothing then I'll wait for AF.

Sorry to all the BFNs this month. Not testing again for now either. Feeling absolutely no symptoms so no mote testing unless AF is late, which is due on Fri. Manifestating positives for everyone though!

Hey y'all, so, I personally, had a good cry and now I'm feeling better! LOL. Crazy how this messes with your head. And I'm on only cycle bloody 2 of TTC.

Anyways, a question popped in my head, and I'll do some Googling too but was wondering if you know - how many days after implantation, is a test supposed to be able to detect and show pregnancy? Like, does it take a few days for that preg hormone to build up? Just curious!
Like, for example, if you implant 9 DPO (and you somehow know this because of cramping or bleeding), when would you be able to see it on a test?

I want to say right after implementation the level of hCG is like a 5 mIU/ml, and it doubles every 24-72 hrs. Some tests can sense as little as 10 mIU/ml such as Clear Blue. Then again though, I’ve heard SO many stories how Clear Blue didn’t pick up pregnancy after well after missed period.

So if your implementation took place at 9DPO (which is the most common I think) you might not test positive until 12-14 or even 15 DPO if I’m correct.

So the implementation can take up to 12 days post ovulation and then the detectable hCG levels might take another week to show on home test. It’s mind blowing!

Thank you @Mummytobe93 that is very informative and mind-blowing indeed!!!

I must admit, I’m always astounded at people who get BFPs at 7/8 DPO, very impressive but also like how?! 🤯

I guess I could keep telling myself that maybe my hCG levels are not enough just yet to be detected at 12 DPO (IF I implanted on 9 DPO)…but then again, I did use FRER. AND even though I don’t get the whole cervix checking thing…I kinda feel like mine is low. Which apparently is bad news if you’re hoping to be pregnant. 😤
