When to test?

[StillJustWaiting]

Hey ladies, I'm spending sooo much money each month on pregnancy tests... i think I'm addicted to peeing on sticks 😅 how early have you ladies actually got a positive test? My af is due in 6 days and i been testing all week - knowing its way to early but getting so disheartened seeing just the one line :( when should i start testing really?

@BlueSky57 🤞🏻 keep us updated x

Hey everyone hope you're all doing well!

Just a quick update for those hat wanted one, we had a scan today and measure 8 weeks and the little blob has a heartbeat🤞🏼 still doesn't feel real but hopefully this gives you all the hope ❤️

Baby dust to you all and can't wait to hear of all of your Bfp

Yes @emmilyb !! That's great news ♥️ Any symptoms yet? X

Thank you @Stallsey 🥰 I told my husband yesterday, so waited a whole week (not sure how I managed it!)
Boobs are sore, crampy dull aches and some nausea but I'm only 4.5 weeks.
How are you doing? X

@emmilyb fab news 🤍

@WhatTheEll aww that's amazing, bet he was over the moon!
I'm not so great, I tested positive for covid so having to push back my dating scan which was meant to be this week. I'm gutted, hoping they can fit me in as soon as I'm neg!
Everything happens for a reason though, sad but at least me and baby are ok!

Xx

@Stallsey Oh I'm so sorry lovely! Main thing is, like you say, you and baby are fine. But it's just rubbish isn't it. Hope you feel better soon xx

CONGRATULATIONS to those of you with BFP's! I will read through and write a better post after work, I've just been for my scans, everything looks super healthy, no cysts or anything so absolutely no idea whats going on! I am pleased that I'm looking healthy but also miffed for answers! Well i guess ima get back to trying then 😅 has anyone used these? Xx

@StillJustWaiting I did! Actually used them the cycle we got pregnant so never finished the full pack, and taking this brand pregnancy vitamins too.
Glad nothing sinister showed up on the scans x

@StillJustWaiting Yay! Glad the scans were all good. This cycle I used the Ferti-Lily cup and it worked first time 😬 with me getting a BFP.
Also because of my previous miscarriages, I've got a GP calling me this evening so we can discuss progesterone pessaries as per the new NICE guidelines xx

6weeks 1 day today!! Saw a heart beat Saturday ♥️ starting progesterone this evening, but everything looks good. Third time lucky for me 😬
Hope everyone is doing ok xx

@WhatTheEll absolutely amazing, so so happy for you! So glad you saw a heartbeat and I hope the new job is going ok ❤️

@Stallsey Thanks so much! ♥️ How are you getting on? How many weeks are you now?
New job is interesting! Tough going as I'm so tired but getting there x

@WhatTheEll I'm gooood! Currently 14.5 weeks, had our dating scan and it was amazing!
Completely sympathise with the tiredness, its tough in the first trim. But all a good sign! X

Hey ladies how are we all getting on? Hope you're all doing well!xx

Good, how are you @emmilyb
Currently 9 weeks tomorrow! I had a private scan yesterday and got moved forward almost a week! I'm on progesterone too which is giving piece of mind ♥️

@WhatTheEll ahh that's amazing how did the scan go!

Yes I'm great Thankyou I'm currently 12 weeks had my anomaly scan and all went well still doesn't feel real to me though!

@StillJustWaiting @Stallsey how are you getting on? Xx

@emmilyb It went well!! Everything looking great. 🙏🏻
Do you have many symptoms? Ah 12 weeks! I'd love to be where you are so I'm out of the woods. Are you showing yet at all? Xx

@WhatTheEll
I have felt a lot more sick this time round but can't quite tell if it's because of my gastric sleeve surgery I had last July or pregnancy related sickness 🙈
I've lost 6 stone since my surgery but still have a very big belly😂 so doubt I'll show until late late pregnancy if at all.
I've spent the last 7 weeks trying to forget I am pregnant so now it's hard trying to tell myself I am xx

Here's my 8 week scan against my 12 week scan mad how quickly they grow x

Hi guys, I'm really good thank you. 16 weeks now, feeling round and hoping I start to feel some proper kicks soon! Only a few flutters at the moment.
All becoming so real now.
So glad you are both doing so well in your pregnancies, it's so amazing to see! Thank you for keeping us up to date! 💕

Congratulations ladies, thats all soo exciting for you! Im so pleased you're all doing so well with your pregnancies ❤️ still no luck for me I'm afraid :( sad to think this time last year i was pregnant but lost it, really upsets me to think I'd have my little bundle here already!
Still trying to stay positive, my last cycle was 28 days so that's a positive sign, it was my first "normal" cycle length in a whole year so maybe something is sorting ! 🤞 I'm hoping so anyway, its a big difference from the 13-53 day cycles i have been having and it was a proper normal period, as they used to be 🤞🤞
Maybe i too will get my BFP soon! ❤️

@StillJustWaiting thank you for keeping us updated, so sorry to hear you're having a tough time. Great news on the 28 day cycle!!
You will get your BFP 💕

So lovely to hear from you girls!
@emmilyb such a big difference between scans ♥️ I've got the NIPT test and scan booked this Saturday, finding out gender too, should get results in a week or so!
Currently 10+2.
@StillJustWaiting so glad your cycles are back on track. I'm wishing you all the luck and baby dust!
@Stallsey You should be feeling kicks soon, can't wait for that!

Ladies do you think this could be my BFP? Both used in the same sample but the strip test is totally negative!
Anyone have any experience with clear&simple tests from B&M?

I really need some help and advice, this is my first time trying for a baby so I’m not sure what to look out for. It’s been about a week since we’ve properly started and the last 3 days I’ve been feeling really sick and I’ve not got awful heartburn as well as feeling tired. I don’t know if I’m over thinking it or I can actually get these symptoms this quickly. When is the soonest I can test?

Hey @Hayleyemma! Welcome to the thread ! :)
Where in your cycle are you? Or how many DPO if you know? Xx

Hello! I’ll be honest I’m not 100% sure two weeks ago I had my implant removed, I was bleeding 2 days before and last for a week. I don’t know much about DPO so again I’m not sure I’m sorry!
