Ok I've taken the plunge and bought 3 early tests from Poundland. I wonder if they are any good?! Has anyone used them before?

congratulations to those with positives! @WednesdayStar4 @ttc#2 (sorry if I miss anyone, this site has changed recently and is a nightmare to read!!

I tested early today at 9dpo 🙄 no willpower!
got a faint positive so hoping it is stronger tomorrow ❤️

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 18:43

@Cherrymarket I’m 8DPo so I know that feeling! Think I saw a line too! Do you have a pic?

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 18:46

Three together one is done with water to compare and 2 with fmu. The frer also fmu. And individual IC is done this afternoon. What’s your thoughts? Be honest! I know it’s super early and silly! Don’t know why I did it!

@Peonies94 I can definitely definitely see lines!!! So excited for you! Keep us updated with progress pics tomorrow

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 18:58

@thinkingoutloud2 haven't tried the Poundland ones before, sorry!

Peonies94 · 18/05/2022 19:09

@Tropicana1 i reslly hope they’re actually something and not indents! Will keep you posted!

BackOnTheBandWagon · 18/05/2022 21:33

Ah drat, AF arrived loud and clear, and early no less! Not even time to do some pre-emotive testing despite symptom spotting. Off to the June board for me, good luck all :)

Ellswells3 · 18/05/2022 21:52

I’m out too! Been at the doctors with kidney stones and they did a pregnancy test as part of the assessment which was a BFN. I think it was even worse having it read out from the test and not being able to search for the line myself! I am only 9dpo so might do a test on Saturday anyway which is 12dpo and my original date I planned to test… just in case. Hey ho… Congrats to all those who have their BFP, wishing you all the best xx

Tropicana1 · 18/05/2022 22:03

@BackOnTheBandWagon sorry you're out - think ill be joining you tomorrow, will be 12dpo & af due, got my usual back ache cramps tonight so not going to bother with the FRER in the morning

@Ellswells3 9dpo is still early so don't give up yet!

I can see lines! Did you do another test this morning? I also feel silly for doing my test so early. It’s just longer for me to worry tbh!

Sorry to hear this, all the best for the next cycle 💙 (At least it starting early means you can enter the new cycle quicker?? Or maybe that’s just the way I think about things!)

Negative at 9dpo doesn’t mean you are out 😊 some people just don’t get positives until later. I didn’t get one until later with my first (who is now nearly 9).

I get what you mean about having to hear someone else say the test is negative. I think I’d be the same!

Have you done another test? X

Peonies94 · 19/05/2022 06:57

So I just done another and these are definite positives!

They are!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
How are you feeling? X

ttc#2 · 19/05/2022 08:14

Starting to think my line was an evap.. I'm 11dpo and I had a negative FRER this morning :(
I hope my period is regular this month so we can move onto the next cycle quickly!

Congratulations to everyone that's had a positive so far! X

Oh I’m so sorry to hear this. Evap lines are just cruel!

Maybe this is an annoying question so tell me to but out of you want but is there a chance it’s just still so early that slightly diluted urine could weaken the test to a negative? Even our FMU aren’t all the same.

Either way, it’s still another day closer to the cycle where you do get your BFP. You’ve got this x

LeftTheWashingOut · 19/05/2022 10:00

Congratulations on all the positives and sorry to those of you who have had AF arrive 😢
I've had a nice and busy ttw and I'm 10/11 DPO so AF should be here probably today or tomorrow I think.
I was going to wait until AF was due before testing but caved this morning and ordered some frer from Amazon - the second I pressed order though I'm starting to be a bit cranky so I think AF might be here before the tests 🤦‍♀️

@ttc#2 I didn't get a bfp for my first until 12DPO, and likewise for a previous chemical. So I wouldn't give up hope yet

Tropicana1 · 19/05/2022 17:46

@ttc#2 sorry your line has gone today - will you test again tomorrow?

@Peonies94 so great 😊 congrats! You must be so happy!

@WednesdayStar4 AF is a no show so far today although I do have my typical cramping, and my temperature this morning was still up. Just done another cheapie on a 2 hour hold and negative again but if theres still no sign in the morning (13dpo) I'll use an FRER. On the plus side if AF does show tomorrow then my luteal phase has lengthened by another day to 12dpo!
