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?

Wooo so excited for you both this month, @StillJustWaiting 5 day cycle is fabbb, and @WhatTheEll wow 5/6 dpo already! When you planning on testing?
I'm 7 weeks tomorrow, nausea has floored me this week. I will never complain about it though!

Keep me updated girls, I have a good feeling about this month xxx

Hey everyone ❤️ hope you're all well I'm currently about 3dpo so the dreaded 2 week wait! I promised myself I wouldn't be as obsessive this cycle but.... here I am again and probably doing tests in a week🤣 me and my partner have both decided after this month we are going to pause trying until next year some point it's causing me too much stress.

See that's mad because before kids I used to have my period for 3 days but after kids I'm now on for 7 days 😱

@Stallsey Thank you! I don't want to test at all but knowing me I'll start tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♀️😬
@emmilyb we're in the same boat!! 👋

@WhatTheEll i know 5 days!! i doo feel lucky as i do usually have a full 7 days too but at the same time I am a bit unsure still of what is going on with my body!!
I usually have really heavy periods that last 7 days, this one was a period but not a heavy one at all aand a little short for me!!
Was a very painful one too, lots of pains and cramps but not my usual awful back...

I'm CD9 now and hope hope hoping this can finally be our month!

@WhatTheEll have you tested yet? Im a manic tester so 6dpo I always give in 😂

@Stallsey thats so exciting, i am so so happy for you! Have you been for a scan yet or got one booked in? :D

@emmilyb ekk only a couple more days till you can maybe start testing !! :D how are you feeling ?

Xxxxx

Well went to order some FRER from Amazon and they're not delivering anything until Thurs! Even through prime. Looks like I'm dip testing tomorrow with easy@home 🤞🏻🤣 xx

@StillJustWaiting yep been for my early scan! All measuring perfectly and lovely heartbeat 😊

@WhatTheEll let us know how you get on with testing!

Xxx

@Stallsey glad all going well for you!
BFN on easy@home this morning at 9DPO but feeling lots of twinges/cramps today! Got FRER turning up tomorrow now so I'll retest xx

Bit disappointed with this BFN this morning. I know I'm only 9/10DPO but yesterday I had very noticeable pulling and twinging feelings ALL DAY, I couldn't ignore the feelings. Just thought I'd see a hint of something today 😣 AF due Sat/Sun

@WhatTheEll I'm sorry ☹️ those twinges that you felt yesterday could have been implantation, so give it another 24-48 hours for any hormones to rise! You're still early and implantation can happen up until 12dpo so stay positive. You've got this ❤️

Thank you @Stallsey ♥️ spotting has commenced and I'm convinced it's AF starting! X

@WhatTheEll How are you? Xxx

@Stallsey ok! Full on AF now. 25 day cycles suck but also means I can ttc quicker next time I guess. How are you? Xx

@WhatTheEll Ah bless you 😢 at least you didn't have to wait until sat/sun for AF to arrive.
I'm good thank you xx

Hey everyone hope you're well I literally feel like I'm living the same month over again!
Painfully sensitive breasts! Tested today and I think I'm only 8dpo but few like I can see something I'm angry at myself for testing so soon again as last months turned out to be chemical...
Can anyone else see anything?
@WhatTheEll ahh hun your cycles are short, I'm still not due on for another 6 days! Fingers crossed next month❤️

Sorry forgot to add the picture xx

This is this mornings easy at home test too! Just wish I waited longer to test as now fearful it'll be another chemical🙈🤞🏼

Confirmed today❤️ line on first response seems darker than last cycle so fingers crossed this is our rainbow baby and it's a sticky one🤞🏼

Goodluck everyone xx

@emmilyb Ahh that's amazing, great line for 8dpo! Congratulations 😍✨
Fingers crossed for a sticky baby xxx

@Stallsey Thankyou! Trying not to get overly excited as know it's still super early I'm 9dpo today going off opk unless I ovulated a bit earlier, af is still 5 days away, I did a clear blue digital and got 1-2 so will test again in few days to check on line progression ❤️ goodluck everyone else baby dust to you all!
I love Mumsnet makes my poas obsession feel normal lol xx

@emmilyb omg congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳

@emmilyb CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thats so exciting! Keep us up to date with your pregnancy journey!! 🥰❤️

@WhatTheEll how are you feeling ? Not long now till you can start trying again ay? :D

@Stallsey I'm so pleased everything is going well for you! How many weeks are you now? :D have you told anyone yet or are you keeping it on the dl for a while.? :)

I'm CD 15 today, flow predicts ovulation on CD23 and predicts a 37DC.
I have a feeling its going to be another long cycle this time round.... i have never before last cycle (other than implantation bleeding when i was pregnant) had spotting between periods, last cycle I had spotting on CD 13&14, which lead on to be a 52DC, as i said i am now CD15 and am spotting again!

Any ideas ?

@StillJustWaiting Hey! Sorry to hear you're in a pickle. The spotting thing - some months I can have the smallest lightest streak of blood in my CM which can indicate ovulation. But it depends what the spotting is like? Is it like beginning of AF?
Xx

@WhatTheEll well it was just a little, when i wiped, yesterday when wrote that, however it's continued into a really really light flow 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I'm CD16.. so bazaar... have you ever had anything like this? Xxx

@StillJustWaiting I haven't experienced that, no. How are you doing? X

Two weeks after period due IMO.

Get the cheap dip tests, pennies each.
