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 I see it!! 😍

StillJustWaiting · 03/11/2021 17:51

@WhatTheEll can you see it too?! Ah I'm so relieved, started to convince myself i was just seeing things as it is so so faint!
I'm going to test again tomorrow and Friday - i have two tests left!
Ive been putting it in different colours and all sorts to make sure i can see it 😂😂

@Stallsey you can?! Eeek!!! Im trying not to get too excited because if i am its so so so early but I'm can't quite shift the little buzz of possibility excitement 😂🤞
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

@Stallsey @StillJustWaiting looking forward to seeing your tests tomorrow!!! 👏🏻

StillJustWaiting · 03/11/2021 18:13

@WhatTheEll i already feel really nervous to take another test tomorrow 😂 dreading seeing a negative result 😅 but I also want to take another one right now (I'm not going too) just to check gain 😂😂 x

@StillJustWaiting 🤣🤣 I'd be totally the same!! Xx

Stallsey · 03/11/2021 19:47

@StillJustWaiting so so excited for you!!

@WhatTheEll I think I'll do a PM test. Royal Mail have let me down today and my tests didn't arrive 😫 was going to pick some more up on my way home from work but I thought "everything happens for a reason", this might be a sign for me to test later in the day or at 10dpo 🤣 let us know how you get on with your test

Xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 09:49

I tested this morning with FMU and I literally can't decide if there is a line there or if its just my eyes ... if there is a line its soooooooo faint like yesterday afternoon's test... maybe even lighter than that if thats even possible 🤷‍♀️ hmm i reckon if it was positive it's a chemical... i could be wrong though! I guess it is a positive sign that there is still no sign of af but because i have irregular cycles af might not even be actually due yet.... argh this is so frustrating! X

OP posts:
Stallsey · 04/11/2021 10:17

@StillJustWaiting Ah bless you, It's so hard not knowing if you see a line or not... especially after evap lines. You're right though, positive sign there's no af yet!! 🤍

I took a cheap strip test this morning and it was very negative. Royal Mail still haven't dispatched my FRER tests so might be waiting another day, that's if I don't go buy some before that!

Xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 11:23

@Stallsey I'm excited to see your results, I'm so impatient id be writing a strongly worded letter to royal mail 😂😂😂😂 whats the sensitivity of the test?
As bad as it sounds i might do another test in a min 😂 then ill have to buy more tomorrow on my way home from work (if AF doesn't show that is!;))!
I'm questioning now wether the line yesterday was even a line, maybe it was an indent on the test?
How many DPO are you now?
Xxx

OP posts:
Stallsey · 04/11/2021 11:34

@StillJustWaiting I have sent them an email 🤣🤣🤣 I'll probably end up picking some more up, I've started testing now so I won't be able to stop! They'll always get used!
Not sure how sensitive the test was, it was Boots strip tests (around £5 for a pack of 5), I don't think they're very sensitive.
Yeah if you feel the need to test then do it! I always test when I feel the urge to 😂 I have seen some evil indents on FRER but I've read they tend to be a grey colour?
I'm 9dpo now, so still quite early xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 11:47

@Stallsey HAHAHA that honestly made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂 I love that, definitely something i would do 😂😂
Yep that's exactly how i am, once i start testing i just cant stop! 😅 I spend toooo much money on tests 🤦‍♀️ thats literally my thinking , if i buy several they'll always get used ... then i end up using them all in a couple days just because they're there 😂 I'm really hoping it's not an indent, its so so faint i don't actually know if its got colour to it or not if that make sense?
I was certain last night that i was pregnant, like so sure of it... now I'm definitely not sure at all 😩🤔
Oooh 9DPO so theoretically you could get a BFP on a FRER!! Eeek keep us updated and post pics of your test when you've done one!
I also found an app last night that is supposed to help to see if your test is positive or not, it definitely helps see the line when there is one !

That app literally gave me a little hope 🤞😂 xxx

OP posts:
Stallsey · 04/11/2021 11:55

@StillJustWaiting hahhaha I just had a reply saying they're facing delays... Honestly does not help me at all 😭😂😂
I said I was going to wait until Saturday to test because I'm going to a friends and she's told me to bring a bottle of Prosecco (obvs won't do this if I'm unsure!) but Thursday morning I'm already POAS 🤣
I'm like you, sometimes I feel pregnant, then I see a negative test and I convince myself I'm not!
Yesss I love that app! It's fab. Xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 13:01

@Stallsey I would reply like "you should hope I'm experiencing some delays too!😂"
I hope they turn up soon... if you do manage to wait you're more patient than me 😂 I'd be off to the shop to buy some more! I took another test and i think its a BFN !
Yep I've decided that i am not pregnant and that it was an indent... i don't think it'll stop me testing again tomorrow though... and the next day 🤣
I hope at least one of us get our BFP this cycle !!!
Have you got any symptoms at all yet?

Xxx

OP posts:
Stallsey · 04/11/2021 13:16

@StillJustWaiting I've just had a notification to say it's been delivered 😭😭😂😂 never doubted them for a second!!
Ahh no, is the line definitely lighter than the one yesterday?
Defo try again tomorrow!
I've got a really bad cough & sore throat today but don't think that's related. I'm so tired too but I think that's because I've slept bad with this sore throat. Just flutters and pain in my tummy, weird taste in mouth (but again, I think this is my sore throat). I haven't had any implantation bleed or anything so each day I am less hopeful! But I hope one of does get a BFP soon 😍
Xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 13:34

@Stallsey no way 😂😂 classic that is 😂😅 straight to the testing then?! 😉
I'm not sure its either the same or lighter, definitely not darker at all!!
I will deffo be testing again tomorrow 😂 ima have to go out and grab more tests now though!
Boots closes at 6 though and I'm stuck in work till 6 😩 ill have to go without testing in the morning and grab a test on my way home from work tomorrow as I finish at 2 tomorrow!
Ooosh that'll be a hard shift thinking about it all morning 😂😅
Sore throat and funny taste could be something!!! I hope it is!
Eek i want to see your test now... 😍 xxx

OP posts:
StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 13:41

I do think its lighter than yesterday if I'm honest but yesterday was sooooooo light anyway xx

OP posts:
Stallsey · 04/11/2021 14:26

@StillJustWaiting I think so, not sure whether to do it tonight or in the morning!
Ah no, you could try Superdrug on your way home? I know what you mean, once you get the idea in your head!!
I wanna see my test now too... I have been abit emotional about it today! Even cried on my way to work seeing some random people helping a lady who's car had broken down... Jesus Christ 😭😭
Xxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 14:53

@Stallsey how many tests have you got?? If it was me - a manic tester - i would test tonight and tomorrow... tonight for the pure fact that i am impatient 😅
If you have more than 1 do ittttt ;)
Oooh my pregnancy that i MC thats how i found out i was pregnant... i was crying at everything 😂 i work in care and i spent a full 14 and a half hour shift sobbing about the residents having to wear pads all the time 😅🤣
Unfortunately super drug also closes at 6 :(
I could go to a supermarket but i know for a fact our local asda only sell their own brand and clear blue, tesco only sell freedom (i always test positive on freedom tests even when I'm not pregnant - even my tap is pregnant with those tests 🤣) and clear blue ..... maybe Sainsbury's? I don't think I've checked their selection just yet 😂 do you know if Sainsbury's sell FRER ?
Xxxx

StillJustWaiting · 04/11/2021 14:57

Looks like they too only have clear blue or their own tests 😩 i might check anyway but i looked on their online shop 😂
