Just started having fertility tests to see if me or hubby have any problems as we have struggled to conceive number 2 and this happens!?
Is this a positive? AF isn't due until Weds/Thurs

These tests are a nightmare for false hope 😫

@scandiontheloose I'm the same, I need a digital one to be 100% convinced 😆

@T0r11210

Yeah the migraines really caught me off guard and genuinely thought I was coming down with something because it's just not shifting 🙈

I shall retest tomorrow, fingers crossed it's not just CB playing games with me 😂

So chuffed for your positive one tho!

When do you think you'll tell the hubby? Mine also works away but will be home tomorrow and we're celebrating our wedding anniversary this coming weekend so it would be a nice surprise to tell him ❤️

Thank you! I really don’t think it’s tricks, you’ll get that BFP tomorrow!
what a lovely time to tell him and at least you don’t have to wait long to say 😊
Hes back on Friday and then got my friends wedding Saturday so think I’ll tell him Friday night. It would have been 3 weeks as he went away 3 days before I ovulated.

@T0r11210 eeeek congratulations 🎊 so exciting!

@scandiontheloose yes defo going to be testing again in the morning, I haven't got any FRERs yet though so it'll be clearblue again! I did buy some cheap pink dye tests too so 🤞. Keep us posted!

Thank you! Yours looks so positive as well, just probably the first day HCG is in the system.
@scandiontheloose and yourself please update tomorrow.

scandiontheloose · 16/06/2024 21:16

@T0r11210

I hope this is the month for us all.

Aww what a special time to tell him, he'll be beaming all weekend long ❤️❤️
So hard when they work away isn't it but gives me a chance to hide all my Amazon parcels 😂

I'll keep yous posted on my next tests and see what they say. X

GSD2024 · 16/06/2024 21:20

Hi ladies, just catching up. Wow, congratulations to all the BFP’s 🤞🙂 xx

TTCNoTWO · 17/06/2024 06:06

Morning all!
Here is my clearblue this morning..
My pink dye test is negative but it's not an early detection one and I'm not due on until Weds/Thurs so will keep testing each day and see!

T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 06:26

@TTCNoTWO there’s definitely a line there and with your period not due for another 2/3 days only 10mil/early detection would really get it at this stage. You wouldn’t be getting a false positive with the time frame so it’s extremely likely you are and it takes 2 days for hcg to double so by tomorrow the 25mil ones should be picking it up.
i would suggest CB early detection digital with a 3 hour hold today if you really want to know.

T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 06:30

@TTCNoTWO also I’ve just looked back and the line is definitely clearer than yesterday!

TTCNoTWO · 17/06/2024 07:22

@T0r11210 eeek thank you! Fingers crossed 🤞
The pink dye one had a very faint line after so long (which I know doesn't count) but just can't believe it! We've been trying for a year, I've just had bloods done and hubby is booked in to do SA next week 🙈

I didn't know you could get early detection digital! I'll look into it thank you

How were your bloods? It just takes that one month for everything to align 😃😃
I used pre seed lube this month which I definitely think helped the sperm as we could only dtd 3/4 days before ovulation before partner went away. I also had Covid so was not feeling hopeful at all.
And yes they’re called ultra early and start flashing when it has enough urine ☺️ that’s what mine was yesterday, the box says 99% get a Positive 4 days before missed period. A normal digital I don’t think I would have at this stage.
i tested with it at 9dpo and it was negative so was feeling even more deflated. But finally 5 days after what I now know was IB I got bfp with it and I think you will too!

T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 07:30

@TTCNoTWO just to add that my pink dye test took a while to show yesterday as well and that was the same urine as the ultra early digital.
Maybe your hubby can be relived not doing SA 🤭

scandiontheloose · 17/06/2024 07:47

@TTCNoTWO

Exactly what @T0r11210 said!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I also see line progression between the tests 😍

Defo go for one of the early digital ones. I'm so paranoid about any line tests that I need the digital one before I believe it 😂😂

I will get some tests today after work and will retest and update you guys later on ✌🏼

T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 08:50

@TTCNoTWO @scandiontheloose
I love how all three of us tested with the same CB test around the same dpo yesterday with similar lines and now testing with the same digital!
I would just suggest going for a wee, not drinking hardly anything for a few hours and then using it again but today should be 99% you’ll get a positive with that ultra early one.
Good luck both! 🤞

TTCNoTWO · 17/06/2024 10:56

@scandiontheloose good luck! Can't wait to see what yours says too!

@T0r11210 I haven't had results from bloods yet, I think they are waiting until all results are back but hopefully hubby won't have to have SA now!
I've ordered some digital early ones on amazon so will see what tomorrow brings!
I'm not keen on the waiting game!!

The only symptom I have is a funny taste in my mouth!

OP posts:
T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 10:59

@TTCNoTWO amazing, tomorrow will be here before you know it!
and I have that too, plus excessive thirst and bloating.

T0r11210 · 17/06/2024 22:09

@scandiontheloose how did you get on today lovely? X

scandiontheloose · 17/06/2024 22:51

@T0r11210 oh my god so sorry. I had a bit of a day and forgot totally to even test when I got home 🙈🙈

I will test tomorrow morning with FMU.

Couldn't find FRER pink dye ones, so it'll have to be another CB 🙈😅

But fingers crossed xx

How you feeling? X

scandiontheloose · 17/06/2024 23:13

Also today the bloating has been off the scale accompanied by heartburn and waves of nausea.

I hope it's a strong line tomorrow morning or I have nothing to blame this on 😂😂😂

Persipan · 18/06/2024 05:23

For anyone looking for FRERs, they are much more difficult to find in the UK than they used to be - Amazon have them but I don't think Boots or Suoerdrug stock them anymore, so don't waste your time going to multiple branches in search of them.

Boots early pregnancy test is basically identical to a FRER, though - pink dye, sharp line, very sensitive. So if you're looking for a substitute, I recommend that.

TTCNoTWO · 18/06/2024 06:27

Morning all,

I bought some cheap Spanish tests from.amazon that are pink dye. They first come up very faint but after 5 - 10 minutes they're strong, but yet the instructions say don't read after 5 mins?? So I'm not sure, but I've got clearblue digital coming today! Just really scared of a chemical pregnancy. This picture is after the 5 minutes.
Do you think it still counts?

'They first come up very faint' sounds to be as though the result did come up within the time frame, though? In which case that's a totally valid result. You'd expect it to get a bit darker after that, they always do. It certainly looks very clearly positive!

GSD2024 · 18/06/2024 06:48

@TTCNoTWO thats positive !!

T0r11210 · 18/06/2024 07:02

@TTCNoTWO that’s definitely a positive lovely!! Congrats, I know you’ll believe it more when you use your early digital today though but you are so pregnant 🙌🙌

@scandiontheloose I could have written that myself!! The bloating is what made me test 2 days ago. I usually do before AF but this is something else. Apparently it’s the very high progesterone and estrogen in our bodies slowing down digestion. I read that it gets better about 10 weeks when progesterone gets less and placenta takes over so yay for looking pregnant before an actual bump!!
Also good luck for this morning!

T0r11210 · 18/06/2024 07:05

@TTCNoTWO also with your AF not due until tomorrow/Thursday that’s a great line! Mine was due today and this was my cheapy yesterday. Like you, it was faint within 3 mins and then got darker.

Line Eyes!
scandiontheloose · 18/06/2024 07:27

@TTCNoTWO YAS! I'd say that's your BFP but as we know it's not true until the digital tells us it is 😂

So happy for you! 🥰

@T0r11210 Oh the bloat! Unreal! Like I had to unbutton the first two buttons on my skirt yesterday just sitting at my desk at work😅😂

I tested this morning and it's the same looking as the test from the other day.
No line progression but also not any fainter so we'll see. I've had a few chemicals before and think I just need to wait for the digital results😅

So think I'll give it a day before trying for the digital since they're generally not as sensitive as these 10ml ones and they're so spenny and I will go mad testing everyday 😅

Have you decided how you're gonna tell your hubby on Friday 😍
