@HelloMoon87 your first response looks lovely and dark 💖. Tbh the cheapies I got from the pharmacy that I’ve been using were not giving very dark lines. I’ve started using the ones I originally had (now I’m home) from Amazon, and they’re giving me dark lines as you can see! Think each brand of tests are different I’ve noticed!

missmae · 13/08/2023 09:14

@Janeykat its okay its nothing to worry about yet, its only first thing when I wake up😂🙈I have antisickness in my bedside drawer ready for when it comes properly lol

CurlyWurly1991 · 13/08/2023 09:38

@ttcthoughts looks like I geared up to ovulate on CD12 then it didn’t happen (based on my temps since). CD15 today so hopefully will be soon.

Thanks. I've been using easyhome every day and it's been getting me so anxious. There are 2 easyhome types. These must be the light ones, even though both are 10 miu?!

The first response is looking better, so having done one yesterday and today, I felt a bit of relief though still feel anxious.

OP posts:
missmae · 13/08/2023 11:32

@HelloMoon87 that is strange if they’re both 10miu 🤔 as long as it’s getting darker it’s a good sign!! Do you have anymore first response, have you done a clear blue?

HelloMoon87 · 13/08/2023 11:38

I know, when it dries it is so light, while the other one is so much darker. And if you see dpo 12-14, the progression looks slightly...🥹
I took the frer this morning, and don't have any more left. On FRER, the line looks darker than control? I can't read lines anymore.
I was thinking of getting clearblue but I don't want to get too many different test types, just sticking to the ones I have now...

OP posts:
HelloMoon87 · 13/08/2023 11:41

I also got 2-3 yesterday morning when I was 4+0, so felt a bit more reassured with that as well. I'm sure next week I'll be anxious again but maybe I should just leave it for a week and few days and see if I get 3+ (though that one seems to worry a lot of people)

OP posts:
missmae · 13/08/2023 11:46

@HelloMoon87 yes I do think your frer is looking like a dye stealer! The progression is definitely there on those tests even if it’s faint, honestly was the same with me with the tests I was using hence why I switched to my other ones! I think If you used different ones the lines would be darker especially as your frer is so dark and the digital saying 2-3!
I definitely feel more reassured but of course I think I’ll still be anxious myself whilst making it through the first trimester. I have been having mild cramps all morning but I know that is normal!

missmae · 13/08/2023 11:48

@HelloMoon87 i also think all the testing is no good for us either, it’s probably best to leave it at ‘yes I’m pregnant’ and just go from there and stop testing 😂 easier said than done tho I think it will be the best thing to do and relax 😂

BlossomTree123 · 13/08/2023 11:58

@HelloMoon87 thank you! Would you mind tagging me in the thread, as I cannot find

Kellyaust · 13/08/2023 12:21

All of your bfps are great news, enjoy them! 🎉❤️

BlossomTree123 · 13/08/2023 13:18

@missmae @HelloMoon87 @Janeykat lines are looking darker which is amazing! I think I’m not going to Bother testing now until next week and do another digital to check it’s added a week on. Other than than I think I need to stop obsessing over them and try and enjoy.

cth96 · 13/08/2023 17:01

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if you’ve ever had an indent on a Boots early test? I tested today and got a faint line in person that came up straight away but it’s not really picking on camera. I’m 99% sure it’s an indent but just wondered if anyone had an indent to compare it to? Thanks :)

Doodlestar · 13/08/2023 17:40

@cth96 hello, I had a line (if it even is a line) very like that yesterday on a boots early test, also came up straight away. It would have been 10-11dpo for me. I think I can see what you mean in the photo but in mine it was so faint and hard to see any colour or if anything was actually there. My husband couldn't see it in real life and I didn't take a pic.

Unfortunately I don't have the answer for you, I am just going to wait to see if my period comes and test again tues/weds if not. Sorry not to be more help but keep us up to date 🤞🤞

cth96 · 13/08/2023 17:52

Thank you! I would be really very early too (not sure when I ovulated as I had high tests for days). I’m pretty sure mine is an indent but only time will tell - the waiting is the worst. I hope yours is a BFP!!

Kellyaust · 13/08/2023 18:29

Hi girls me again 😂 regarding the ovulation...you all seem so knowledgeable. So I got the blazing opks on weds, thurs, and Friday Am. Ovulation pain (I get it really bad) on Thursday night and Friday.

Opks started reducing Friday afternoon, Saturday they were vvvvvvfl. So I'm about 2 or 3 dpo.... No idea why but I decided to pee on another this evening and it's gone darker again... Not positive but darker than Friday afternoon and yesterday... My question is this normal? I haven't tested after my ovulations before really. Attached pic ❤️

HelloMoon87 · 13/08/2023 18:36

@Kellyaust I don't think it matters, it's just normal fluctuation. I see that on dpo 3, mine went a bit darker as well, I think it's normal. You already likely ovulated.

OP posts:
HelloMoon87 · 13/08/2023 18:37

@cth96 I see it. What dpo are you?

Have you tried a pregnancy test? It might be hcg making it dark
