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?

@StillJustWaiting

Hey it's been a while hope you're all well!!

That would be a very bad test if it were a false positive because it's such a clear line!! Have you don't any others from other brands yet? Fingers crossed it's the strip that is the inaccurate one🤞🏼 xx

@Hayleyemma hey hun, I'd say this cycle to just go with the flow and test when you think you're due on as when I had my implant out it took a few cycles to get semi-regular periods again to be able to track ovulation❤️ goodluck xx

Is it possible to have symptoms this early on? I’m all new to this so it’s all confusing! Thank you so much ❤️

@emmilyb how are you getting on now?
I think it was a false positive... again !
I retested using the same brand text after a 4hh yesterday when i got home from work and it was negative! I done another strip test this morning (all i have in the house) and that was totally negative too!
Af if due tomorrow so if she doesn't show by Thursday ill get a frer of my day off Friday :)
Ahh this has been such a long journey, i hope to get my BFP soooooon!! Xxx

@Hayleyemma yes it is possible to get symptoms almost straight away, although not everyone experiences them.
Pick up some tests to be sure, first response is a good one. 🤞
Xx

I’ve got so many symptoms so it just adds up! I’ll pick some up but I’m going to wait until next week, thank you for your help!xx

Mine was a false positive, af arrived today... on the plus side 3rd normal cycle length in a row 28, 27, 27 🥳

@StillJustWaiting I picked up some strip ones and I’ll be honest they are so hard to read I don’t know if there is a faint line or it’s the end of the material if that makes any sense? Tried googling images and that doesn’t help

@StillJustWaiting Ah sorry I missed this!! Are you sure it's AF? Because I can see something on that last pic you posted ♥️♥️ I'm glad your cycles are looking more regular, that's so positive! X

@Hayleyemma I can see something on that test for sure!! They tests aren't very sensitive. Could you get your hands on any First Response early result? X

@WhatTheEll where can I get those from? Are they good at picking up early pregnancy?

@Hayleyemma You can get them on Amazon and Superdrug too. Yes they are good and picking up lines. They're very sensitive. Did you test again today with a test strip?

@WhatTheEll I tested yesterday with a. Strip and could see one, I’m going to pick one up now and see🤞🏼X

@Hayleyemma good luck!! Show us the pic x

@WhatTheEll I will do thank you!x

@WhatTheEll I can’t tell with this if I’m seeing things, I am still over a week before my period is due though

@Hayleyemma oh wow right! Yeah I would do another test Monday maybe? When is your period due? I didn't realise you were too early to test (6 days before period with FR) xx

@WhatTheEll I’m due next Sunday, I’ll wait until about Wednesday. It’s all very confusing xxx

@Hayleyemma i think i can see something on both test's but i will say the freedom tests are awful for giving false positives, we did a test my friend and i both used one each (she is on contraception and says there was jo possible way she could have been pregnant at that time) and we used tap water on one too, all three have very very faint lines! If you google them they are quite well known for it unfortunately :(
But frer are quite reliable tests! I am not sure if i can see something or not, i think i can but then again i might be wrong !

@WhatTheEll it definitely had lines, but it was definitely a false positive, i am on very heavy! I genuinely seem to be getting false positives every single month! No matter what tests i use, dr's have no idea what is going on ! But usually they are fainter more like proper quinters but this time it was there still faint but visible without squinting, straight away :( then period arrived cd 27... so frustrating and sad!
How are you getting on? How far along are you now? Xxx

@StillJustWaiting I used the strip test from sainsburys they have a faint line and I use another one which had a faint line and those ones too but not sure. This is the one I did yesterday

I'm been referred to the gynaecology and surgical team for a laparoscopy 🤞 just got to wait for the op now and hopefully have some answers soon!

@StillJustWaiting
I cannot believe those tests 👀 this is such a confusing time for you. It's great your gynae is being so productive. How do you feel about the laparoscopy? It will be good to get answers 💚
I'm doing fine. I'm 17 weeks now! I've got a quick private scan this morning so my mum can come and see. Xxx

@Hayleyemma how did you get on with further testing?

@WhatTheEll I think they are still negative atm but I’m due on, on Sunday so we will see 🤞🏼Xx

@WhatTheEll little update, took these every day and this is what I got xx
