Congrats to @pinkandredflowers and @Scarletthoping on bfps last cycle, hope all goes well in the pregnancy.

Here we go...

@SnookyPook have you tested so far?

@HelloMoon87 ah okay I see! I’ll hold out testing for now if I can!
and thank you. 🩵

I tested early (for me!) at 12dpo as was getting in a bit of a weird headspace after my MMC and needed to know... I got a very very negative test. However, my previous pregnancies I had squinters at 14/15dpo and always thought I maybe don't show early anyway (hence not usually testing pre-AF) so not feeling completely out yet. I'll see if AF appears today and of she's not here by the morning I'll test again.

Thanks all!! I didn’t have anymore easy@home left - but I agree, I think it’s a nasty evap. Which is fine I was expecting that I think

I did an ultra early test this morning and it was negative.

I know I’m super early to be testing, however I’ve preemptively booked in for a fertility consultant chat on the 16th 🤞🏻

@longingtobe23 will you get more and test again or are you going to wait now? How long have you been TTC?

so today 9dpo, VERY irritable, major sensory overload going on too as well as hot flashes… really trying not to symptom spot but can’t help that now since the nipple leaking lol 🤷🏼‍♀️. Hot flashes started around this time with my last pregnancy.

Hi advice needed please whether this is an evap line? I took the test circa 6pm in the bathroom of a restaurant as we were out for dinner so when it didn’t show anything after 3 mins I put it away and looked about 30mins later and this part of a vertical line is showing. AF was due today but nothing yet and have been having af type cramping the last few days with lower back pain and back cramps also (unusual for me). What do you guys think??

Feeling so negative today 😭 I feel so useless

I'm still waiting on AF to show 🙈🙈 Wednesday is the earliest I will test, definitely by Thursday when I'm home from holiday and able to get a test! Still not as long as last cycle and yet according to my OPKs this cycle I'm now 17 DPO so I'm beginning to wonder if we may be in with a chance after all 🤔

Meant to add I've zero symptoms of AF or pregnancy so nothing to make me lean either way!

@HelloMoon87 oh I'm sorry you are feeling low. It's such a roller coaster. Are you still planning to test tomorrow? How many dpo will that be? Xx

Hi! would love to join this conversation if that's okay with you all!
I'm 4dpo (third month of trying) - period predicted next Tuesday (15th) counting down the days to test!
Hope you're all doing okay

@Doodlestar I think I probably will, though with me feeling so down today, I should probably wait. I just feel so jaded with the whole TTC. So much disappointment and heartache, tweaking what I do/eat/when to have sex, getting my hopes up, just to be disappointed with yet another BFN. Honestly I haven't felt this negative in a long while, but I'm coming up to 9 months of TTC (same time as my son). How many months/years of this can I take?

@missmae yes I’ll probably test again Wednesday and Saturday as I have a wedding then… so would want to know if I can drink ha!
period due Sunday :)

I have been TTC over 18 months now, I’ve had all relevant tests and scans and all sorts and so now I’d like to know my next moves 😕
apart from pcos, I ovulate on my own each month and have normal blood work and regular periods… and a DS already with my husband but that’s just luck of the draw I guess

Hey ladies - just checking in and thought I’d share my previous false positive / evaps whatever you want to call it - only in hope it avoids more broken hearts - strong advice throw them in bin - pour something on them so you don’t take back out and just re test a couple of days later …

@Itllbegrand this was my false cb had verified by bloods - was never pregnant hope this isn’t the case for you xxx

Morning, I did a test now, feel like maybe there is a shadow there but most likely an indent like @Tes004 said.
Should I do another today later? How long to hold? Or should I wait for tomorrow?

All my symptoms I had on dpo 8 are also gone since... TWW makes me a psycho 🙈

@longingtobe23 oh yes! Keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 and I see, such a long time 😔I can’t imagine how it must feel TTC for that long! Hoping this is your month!🩷

@HelloMoon87 I‘m sorry you’re feeling down, TTC can be so stressful 😔 how are you feeling today, have you tested?

@HelloMoon87 I definitely see a shadow there… 😬 maybe wait to test again tomorrow?!

I can definitely see something there. That looks like the first test I did this month at 9 and 10 DPO and my line continued to progress. What DPO are you?

Thanks ladies. I'm dpo 10. I think in all likelihood it's an indent as I've seen so many posts on easyhome indents lately. I never had one but maybe the batches got worse this month.

I've got an event tonight, I was thinking of having a drink if I had BFN today. I think I'll test again this afternoon after 4-5 hour hold, fx for me. I really need to look after my mental health, dpo 7 and 9 were hard for me 😔

@HelloMoon87 everything crossed for you lovely.

Meanwhile, in a bit of limbo here. AF was due yesterday. Usually like clockwork and still nothing. However did a test yesterday afternoon which was extremely negative. Not even a whiff of a shadow. Have some pre-period type crampy feels and I did think I maybe ovulated a day later than my app showed (maybe closer to the 24-36hr mark after my peak) which would mean more likely for today... So going to hold off today and see if she appears. Slight element of hope to hold on to is that my previous pregnancies were both detected after AF due at 14 and 15dpo and were squinters, so I'm not sure if they'd have shown earlier. I'm 13/14dpo today so if she doesn't appear I'll test tomorrow and who knows. Really don't know how likely it would be though to be completely negative at 12/13,dpo and then get a BFP! We'll see.

Hope everyone else is ok. X

@HelloMoon87 yes good idea rest again later. Still early tho, what dpo did you get your positive with your last? I can imagine how you must be feeling, it is tough 😔

*test lol
