Hey lovelies,

I'm TTC my 2nd baby. I unfortunately had a miscarriage in November at 7 weeks and this is our 1st cycle of trying. I'm currently CD24 and have a Clearblue digital 6 days early test.

It's almost a mirror situation as my last pregnancy as I was due AF on Saturday, tested on Weds and got BFP. I'm nervous to test early and see a BFN but I also have (sadly) convinced myself that I'm pregnant. I have all the symptoms I had with my DS (aged 2) and with my previous pregnancy:

  • Bloating
  • Cramping
  • Continued high BBT
  • Creamy discharge
  • Fatigue
  • Had really sore nipples a few days ago that has gone away.

I know these can be PMS symptoms but I'm not someone who ever gets any other than feeling ratty.

Also, have recently learned that Brother in Law and fiancé are expecting and due the same time our baby would have been 😔. We're all meeting up on Sat for my MILs birthday and I'm dreading AF coming that day and having to be with them. Not to be awful but I'm still a bit down and it would feel super awkward.

Ultimately, what would you do? Should I test or wait til Sat/Sun? If I test early, when would you do it?

Just wait as long as you possibly can. I know it’s so much easier said than done. But you are very early to test so chances of a BFN are high, regardless of whether you are actually pregnant or not. Try to just take it one day at a time and get as close as you can to the weekend. Good luck!

Agreed, put it out of your mind and test on the day your period is due. Keep yourself busy as best you can

Wish I had listened to you both. I did a CB 6 day early and got a BFN. Devastated and anxious. I know it's still early so have a bit of hope but it's waining now 😥
