The first thread is full!!

Yeah, it’s really frustrating! I got someone else to dip and theirs was negative but I still think they must be false positives since everything els3 is negative. Have you complained to the company? I think it’s awful that they can give so many false positives to people who are obviously really wanting to be pregnant!

Whoops sorry, it changed my username!

@cth96 I didn't even think to complain tbh. Was gutted my lines weren't progressing as I tested early I thought it could just be really faint

I think I might complain. I checked Amazon and there are a bunch of one star reviews saying there were false positives so we clearly aren’t the only ones!

@cth96 I think I might also

@BostonTerrierMum23 thank you for the welcome. Absolutely, it’s so hard. My DH found it pretty difficult last time too but he’s doing well to stay quite upbeat so far..

@HopingForBabyOne funnily enough after posting my comment earlier I decided just to test today (13dpo, all bfn) with wondflo and have a very faint pink line like yours. I haven’t had that the rest of this month, they’ve all been white, but it’s too late to be as faint as it is so it must be a false positive.

FFS. What the actual heck is going on. I FEEL pregnant, period 8 days late (but could well be wrong from my first time using OPK's last month), I'm either 22DPO or 17DPO. No sign of AF. Tests are erratic, either a shadow, stark white or the occasional VFL. Surely at either of these DPO it would be obvious on a test???

I actually don't know what to do anymore and I'm sorry, I know I'm a grown woman but WTF! I'm tired of this now. If I'm going to bleed just please for the love of anything let me bleed, if I'm pregnant, why on earth isn't it showing consistently and enough for me to KNOW?! And if it's neither, what on earth is going on?

Sorry ladies, just needed a to rant I guess 😭

@humanwinginglife so frustrating!! Do you have any other types of test? Maybe you've got a bad batch of the ones your using? If not I'd maybe think about calling the GP by 8 days late with negative tests to see if they'll do a blood test x

@humanwinginglife I'm sure there's a line on that picture of a test on its own though

@humanwinginglife I’m so sorry, it’s the most frustrating thing waiting for a period so you can just get on with the next cycle. Those easy@home tests came with my LH tests and all 10 had faint second lines when I most definitely wasn’t pregnant. I’ve used them before and they were reliable but definitely not this time round 💔

Thank you both. Perhaps it's a bad batch. I just don't know.

So glad you saw the line also @Beth191 would you believe both pics I uploaded were from the same day? It's so blooming frustrating.

Definitely a doctors call tomorrow if neither AF or an obvious positive tomorrow 😔

@humanwinginglife I went as far as getting the little leaflet out the box and checking how long to leave them, and it says in it that if checking after the time (5mins) false positives are common 🙈 needless to say I did not re-order them.

That in itself is awful, never mind with an 8 day wait for AF. Really sorry, and really hoping you wake up to answer either way tomorrow morning.

Update: tested this morning and the line is definitely darker but still much too faint for 14dpo. So I think I’m either having a chemical or wondflo are definitely dodgy!

@humanwinginglife Its awful if these are false positives! Can't imagine the anxiety you must be going through fingers are crossed for you 🤞

Thank you all. I have estimated I am between 18DPO-23DPO so I'm guessing, a digital clear blue would 100% pick up now wouldn't it??

I'm thinking of doing one of those (in case I do indeed have a dud pack of easy@home and then if it's negative I can just relax and forget about any chance?

Another shadow this morning on the strip.

@humanwinginglife apologies for the length of this post…

So when having tests ttc number 1, a fertility doctor we told me that if I insisted on testing early at 8/9dpo to then stop with 10mlu tests at 12dpo because any faint line after that likely wouldn’t end up in a successful pregnancy - a healthy implanted embryo wouldn’t be a squinter by 12dpo on a 10mlu test. So he advised to wait for AF to save myself the heartbreak of chemicals.

It’s to do with cell division being continuous from point of sperm meeting egg, so a 7/8dpo embryo implanting is much smaller than an 11/12dpo embryo trying to implant. It’s why they do IVF transfers with 5-7 day old embryos - if they’re any bigger, they’re much more likely to fail at implantation because they’re just too big. They want the division from like 7/8dpo onwards to be whilst implanting into the lining, to “stick” it stronger.

And those who are testing daily and get that first squinter at 13+ DPO (that ends well) likely ovulated later than they think, and haven’t confirmed ovulation to pinpoint exact date.

I hope that’s helpful - I found it hard to swallow at first, but since then it’s definitely stopped me getting my hopes up, and puts me out of my
misery earlier each month.

Sending love and hope you get your answer♥️

Thank you lovely, I appreciate you taking the time to explain all of that.

I do know of successful pregnancies which didn't show up until a week/2weeks after missed period due to low HCG levels which apparently some women are just made that way and it's not a danger.

But I am totally with you that it's unlikely and unlikely to be my outcome.

@humanwinginglife oh really? That gives me hope - I just believed him and assumed those people on the forums miscalculated their O date/didn’t track or confirm. Although maybe not good that it gives me hope.. my wondflo is still giving me a faint pink line at 14dpo and I’m now all over the place. This is it having just tested now, not sure if you’ll be able to see..

Did you pick up a clear blue?

I think this is a very good positive for 14DPO lovely 🤞🤞

I have. I'm going to do it shortly. I'm only on a 2 hour hold currently 🤞

@humanwinginglife thank you, I’m not convinced as my 9dpo with my LO was darker than that.. so bracing myself for a chemical sadly.

Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 our poor bladders.. forever holding them for LH or HCG tests 😂

Really hoping it's good news for you 🤞

Hahaha! Right! 🤣🤣

@Amy259 if you go back to page 12 or 13 on this thread you'll see my absolute squinters from 11 and 12 dpo on 10miu tests, that was 10/11 days ago now and I'm still very much pregnant. Ovulation confirmed with opk's and bbt. I didn't get a positive test with my 1st until nearly a week after my missed period, I think some peoples bodies are just different honestly!

@Beth191 congratulations! I think 11dpo is the most common day to start having squinters, meaning implantation around 8dpo? The dr was referring to if implantation doesn’t happen until around 3/4 days later.. he was very adamant 😂 although of course he could be wrong! I’ve spent today googling “confirmed ovulation, no bfp until 14dpo” and I’m yet to find a story that ended well (with testing before then and confirmed ov) so I’m going to put down the tests and wait it out💔

Although as I typed that I realised if you LH & bbt and were a week after af was due (so say 17/18dpo minimum?) with your first, you’re my positive story I’ve been clutching for!!

@Amy259 yeah I have an 11 day luteal phase so would have been around 17 or 18 dpo, I'd been testing from around 9dpo and given up and decided to call gp as period so late and apparently not pregnant then randomly decided to take a frer test before calling the GP and my little boy is 18 months old now! So I always think it's not over until af shows but the wait is just absolutely excruciating!

6/7dpo here

Anyone see a shadow?
