Congratulations @Poasaddicted that looks promising.

@satellitesunshine I can see something but it is v v faint. How many DPO are you?

fleur89 · 26/07/2023 11:55

@satellitesunshine I see a hint of something too! Fingers crossed it progresses

GHJ · 26/07/2023 12:37

@Myna13 sorry to hear you're still in the same situation. I feel exactly the same, wish AF would just arrive so can focus on next month. Can't really do anything about anything at the moment! I don't think it's HCG that they're testing for but I've been having abdominal pain for a while and had some nipple discharge etc so hoping they will be testing hormones. All a bit odd and frustrating. Glad to hear you're managing to get some rest hopefully a bit of tlc will help refresh everything. I'm glad to have company on the journey though would rather neither of us were stuck in this awkward waiting phase!

thank you!! i think 10dpo which is why i’m not sure because i feel like it should be darker

ReginaPhalange12 · 26/07/2023 13:12

@satellitesunshine 10DPO is still pretty early so it could be the start of something & hopefully it'll get darker over the next few days

Hey @Poasaddicted I would definitely suggest using a different test just to be sure as I have had false positives with these 2 months in a row which has obviously been heartbreaking for us. These were my tests last month and this month.

I really hope you didn't have a dodgy batch like mine and can celebrate! Good luck ❤️

@GHJ Hope all goes well with the tests and they come to the bottom of things for you. I'm glad we've got each other for company, but I wish neither of us were going through this in the first place.
If you want to chat, feel free to send me a message. Don't feel like you need to get through this on your own.
Sending love, positivity and good vibes your way.
I remember last week this time, I was hoping I would miss my AF on Friday and get my BFP. I was soo sure i'd have some sort of answer by the weekend. Let's see if this weekend has any answers in store 😅

I'm pretty sure AF has arrived. I had the tiniest amount of spotting yesterday and a bit more today. Usually I would be full flow by now but my body seems to be dragging this one out 😩 my cervix was so high this morning g that I was still holding onto some hope but it seems to have dropped now so I think I'm well and truly out. I've had a cry about it and I'm going to go buy some chocolate to drown my sorrows (and maybe a bottle of wine)

Fingers crossed next month is my month 🤞🏽🌈

@thejollytrolleydolly I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope next month is your month. Enjoy your chocolate and wine for now.
Sending love ❤

CatiaR · 26/07/2023 14:45

@thejollytrolleydolly ah sorry to hear. Fingers crossed you’ll line up with your friend next month 😊

Sminbags · 26/07/2023 14:45

Has anybody used the super drug early detection tests? I’ve got a couple upstairs but I’ve just looked at the reviews online and all but one are terrible and claim false negatives.

Sminbags · 26/07/2023 14:46

Sending all of the love Jolly, treat yourself to something nice today 💖

what dpo are you? if you’ve already bought them might as well give them a go!

satellitesunshine · 26/07/2023 14:59

i’m just over here quietly going insane and convincing myself i can see lines that i’m sure aren’t there 😂😂

Sminbags · 26/07/2023 15:03

I think we’re both the same dpo 😊
with that pic I can’t see as it goes blurry when I zoom in, but definitely check tomorrow morning! We can do it together x

CatiaR · 26/07/2023 15:16

@satellitesunshine @Sminbags I will be 10 dpo tomorrow! I’ve been testing for a bit and all BFN but still early days for all of us!

@CatiaR @Sminbags @Myna13 thank you, comfort eating and drinking is the way forward today lol! I have a festival on Friday to go to so hopefully that will cheer me up! Xx

@satellitesunshine I feel like we need a closer pic so we can help! With those tests if you crack them open and shine your phone torch through the strip you can see if there's anything there really clearly 😊

I've got bad back pain this afternoon, I'm so scared 😭

Good luck to everyone still testing/waiting to test x

Ncl31 · 26/07/2023 16:26

@MrsB262 im trying desperately hard not to symptom spot as I’m only 8DPO.
But over night I’ve developed some very deep spots on my cheek & chin which I don’t usually get this bad. I occasionally get a few pimples here and there before AF.

It drives us crazy

Hotmalibu94 · 26/07/2023 19:26

Still no AF. Not sure whether to test in the morning or wait til Friday 😬
It was due yesterday (26 day cycle) or today (27 day cycle).
My previous cycles since coming off the pill have been 26 days, 24 days and 27 days so not the most regular yet...

Ncl31 · 26/07/2023 19:28

@Hotmalibu94 how are you feeling?
I would be tempted to leave it until 27 days but then again here’s me POAS at 8DPO, doh!

Fingers crossed for you!

Hotmalibu94 · 26/07/2023 19:34

@Ncl31 so if AF doesn't show today then today would actually count as day 28!
Ive had a headache for several days, been a bit crampy and today I've felt really sick (but headaches sometimes make me feel sick). I dunno if my boobs feel bigger, will have to ask DH to confirm that one later 😂
We're terrible to ourselves testing early aren't we! Hopefully the rest of your TWW flies by and ends in a BFP 💕

Ncl31 · 26/07/2023 19:46

@Hotmalibu94 we really are terrible.
mom sure your DH will be happy to let you know what he thinks.
I’ve not got any symptoms other than some awful spots on my face, I haven’t had them quite this bad for some time.
My DH is away until Sunday, I told him I wouldn’t test until he’s back but I went and done it this morning. I just can’t help it, I’m a total addict.
He sent me a link for a new pushchair he thought I might like - everytime I pass the baby section I can’t help myself but look! He’s fuelling it too!

I hope you get your BFP, please let us know!

Hotmalibu94 · 26/07/2023 19:59

@Ncl31 hopefully that is a sign for you, it seems like basically anything can be a sign 😅 have you got any other kids?
Haha I've been quite good, I only tested at 11dpo which was negative but I find it kinder to myself to wait until my period is late... Though last month it was a day late so I tested and it started later that day 😅
I love that, sending you prams 😂
