Has anyone gone on to have a positive? Feeling pretty defeated right now. This is our 3rd year of trying.

Way too early. Please just wait until your period is due, otherwise you’ll stress yourself out and not know properly either way.

Yeah way too early to test. I got my positive at 10DPO last time and even that was faint. Good luck xx

It's unlikely to get a bfp at 8dpo regardless of if you are or aren't pregnant

Thank you all! I should really know this as my last BFP (8 years ago) was at 9dpo and it was barely visible on an internet cheapie, BUT I thought the FRER was more sensitive.

Most people won't get a positive at 8DPO even if they are pregnant - you are testing too soon! Try your hardest not to test until the day your period is due, if at all possible.

It did my anxiety so much good forcing myself to wait rather then early testing every month (which I did for pretty much a year) which was making me feel sad for extra days every month that it turned out I wasn't pregnant.
