Hello ladies!
No matter how early it is, no matter how many symptoms you have or don't have drop your tests below and let us make a testing group and be each other's eyes.

I will test on Monday, which is the day AF is to arrive (... unless I'm just too curious and test during the weekend).

Baby dust to all of you!

20 dpo today. Good lines but have been spotting with pinky brown discharge 😪
Had 5 losses in the past so finding it hard to get my hopes up. Any spotting stories with good outcomes? X

Hello lovely. 8/9dpo today and done a FRER tonight and if I shut 1 eye, squint and hold it in the right light there may be a hint of a line 😂. Probably not there! Have no idea why we do this to ourselves. Will test again on Saturday morning.
Good luck for Monday ❤

ElleBelleLou · 17/02/2022 20:18

Don't judge me....7DPO so wasn't ever expecting anything other than a BFN. Just had to test to try stop obsessing over it. AF due 25th, 4th cycle TTC x

@StaceyW87 congratulations those are amazing lines ❤. No experience of spotting during pregnancy but heard it's very common. I'll have everything crossed for you x

MiaKay · 17/02/2022 22:02

@StaceyW87 I hear it's common too! It could be anything. Great lines, by the way!

@BuchananBaby I'm exactly the same! Lol! I did the same thing yesterday and there miiiiight have been a very faint line. Who knows? I know, it's pretty obvious that testing too early leads to a BFN, but there's just so much curiosity! Lol!

@ElleBelleLou I know the feeling! But it's early, just wait a few days and test again. (The only reason I can wait right now is because I ran out of tests and I'm expecting a couple of FRER to arrive, hopefully by tomorrow.)

@StaceyW87 I just remembered that I spotted a little later than you in my first pregnancy, I freaked out, called my doctor etc but it was nothing, just the uterus getting bigger, straining everything (if I remember correctly). If you can, though, even if it turns out to be nothing, send a little message to your doctor, it will give you some peace of mind. And I'm sorry, I never said congratulations!!! Flowers

So in an attempt to not test today I've taken a covid test (I do have covid) hoping seeing 2 lines on that will stop me 😂😂

stuntbubbles · 18/02/2022 10:30

Also tested this morning at 7dpo with my vast stash of one steps — a worthwhile investment for the addiction.

Stark white OBVIOUSLY but! If I change the brightness, contrast, sharpness, exposure, warmth, saturation, greyscale and tint of the photo and don’t look at it lest I scare it, I can pretend there’s a hint of a squint.

On BFN months I do look back at the sheer amount of tests and how many “I think I see something!” moments and wonder what I was on. Once you know you’re out, you see the negatives for negatives. But while there’s hope, there are line eyes…

ElleBelleLou · 18/02/2022 12:28

@stuntbubbles oh god my line eyes are my enemy! I was looking at my 7DPO test yesterday CONVINCED I saw something. Left it, went in the shower, gave my head a shake, went back to it and saw the blank stark white for what it was. It was also an early evening wee so not even FMU, god knows what I expected aside from a miracle.
Now I'm sat here 8DPO wondering when to test again....I'm useless!

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 19:18

@BuchananBaby hahaha I would lie if I said I hadn't thought of that at all. By the way, I hope you get better really soon!

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 19:22

@stuntbubbles and @ElleBelleLou I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is like that! You're describing me

BuchananBaby · 18/02/2022 20:00

@MiaKay it apparently done nothing cause I tested this afternoon 9dpo and BFN ☹️

I'm feeling a bit better thank you the headaches are rubbish though 😩

Huffle · 18/02/2022 20:37

Hello 😁 driving myself mad here. 10 dpo I think and been testing for last 3 days, got this tonight on a frer. What do we think? Had a few of those indent ones before but this looks more pink and you can see it without holding it upto the light or anything.

Obsessive testers welcome!
ElleBelleLou · 18/02/2022 20:52

@Huffle I can definitely see something! Have you got another FRER to do first thing tomorrow?

Huffle · 18/02/2022 20:54

I have!

BuchananBaby · 18/02/2022 20:54

@Huffle definitely looks like it may have a pink tinge. Do one tomorrow with FMU and I bet it's a BFP 🥳

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 21:41

@BuchananBaby I know headaches are so bad! Don't worry about that BFN, it's really early at 9DPO

@Huffle you are right it does look pink! Test again, I'm sure it will get darker really soon!

By the way, I'll test tomorrow, but I'm not sure about the time. Have you seen this?

Obsessive testers welcome!

Charl881 · 18/02/2022 22:11

@Huffle can see without zooming in! If it was read within the time limit I’d think there’s a good chance it’s positive.

I’m trying to resist joining the testing bandwagon until Wednesday (10dpo) but I’m a test addict

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 22:15

@Charl881 you're in good company!

OP posts:
Huffle · 18/02/2022 22:19

@Charl881 yes it was within a few mins
Will update in the morning. I’d kind of given up this month as I thought frer’s would show positive earlier 🤷‍♀️
Fingers crossed for everyone else!!

Charl881 · 18/02/2022 22:27

@Huffle not at all, you’re so early still! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 For you

BuchananBaby · 18/02/2022 22:30

@MiaKay I know I only had FRER's so trying not to waste them, going to try one on Sunday morning. I haven't heard of that I've always heard FMU is the best but I think as long as you haven't pee'd for like an hour if the hormones there it'll show. With DD I used second morning pee 4 days before af and it was clear as day.

@Charl881 welcome to the gang 😂

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 23:19

@Huffle don't give up yet! FRER is not always that sensitive.

@BuchananBaby FMU is the safest choice I guess, I only have two FRER as well, and I really don't want to experiment.

1DPO.....now where are those tests?! 😆 can I join? TTC after a MMC in Nov at 9 weeks. I'm a mad symptom spotter every single month! X

Huffle · 19/02/2022 08:40

Morning @calimc83 I’m in the same boat, MMC at 10 weeks also in Nov. Hoping for good news this month! 🤞
