@Marie1990x oh I really hope it sticks 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️ they’re such good tests I don’t think iv ever had an evap on them and iv went though so many! I’m so excited for you!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹🥹🥹

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 12:33

@Daniki I think I used them in the past but wasn’t pregnant, don’t recall ever seeing an evap on them in the past. It’s dried now and still very pink, although hard to tell on the photo.

I’ve just been back to boots and got 2 more boxes 😅. I’ll definitely be doing another one tonight, although I’m scared in case for some reason this isn’t real. After soooo long I just can’t wrap my head around the possibility of it actually happening 🥹🤍

@Marie1990xim pretty sure mine have looked like that at the very start. But I always delete my pics I must go hunting and see can I find them! I know that’s it when it’s been so long it’s very hard to believe it’s happening. I wonder is it because yous had made a decision on when to stop etc!! And some of the pressure off with the tube flushing next month! 🙏

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 12:53

@Daniki I’ve found the pic of my frer with my daughter and it’s not much stronger than this and that was 12dpo with FMU.
Time will tell, I’m definitely going to test again next time I need the loo if it’s a decent strength 😂😂.

I remember last time I didn’t even think about it not being real, just got my BFP and that was it, no questioning it or anything. The good old naive days 😅

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 12:56

@Marie1990xyep I was the same! If you can try and hold for at least 3 hours I think a 4 hr hold is equivalent to FMU! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 13:01

@Daniki yeah will try hold it for at least 3 hours. The last one I literally squeezed out after an hours hold 😅.

it’s a good job work is quiet today as I cannot concentrate. Going to clean my house to keep myself occupied for 3 hours 😂😂

@Marie1990x god i wouldnt be able to concenrate either haha!! will you tell your husband or leave it a while?x

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 13:37

@Daniki I can’t decide, I don’t want to get his hopes up 😂. Last time I told my mum before anyone and probably would have this time, but with it being Mother’s Day next week I’m going to tell her then (if it’s real 😅) x

@Marie1990xgive it a few days sure and see how the tests go 🥹 could hand him a digital with the words on it and see his shocked face! 🤣🙌🏻 xx

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 13:47

@Daniki yeah thought that too about waiting to get a positive digital (if I do). I don’t think he’d believe it either unless it was written in black and white.

I’m dying for the loo already! I’m so thirsty from all these emotions but holding off drinking any water.

2 hours to go 😅

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 13:50

@Marie1990xyes hold on! Run around with the hoover and mop the time will fly 🤣

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 14:08

@Daniki haha my house is going to be pristine by the end of the day 😂

OP posts:
Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 15:44

@Daniki couldn’t hold it in any longer. It still wasn’t very concentrated annoyingly but still tested. Opened a new box instead of using the second from earlier, just in case it was a faulty batch/box.

another faint line. Top one from earlier (dried) and bottom just now

@Marie1990x🥹🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 eek!! This is so exciting!!

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 15:53

@Daniki I don’t think I’m going to believe it until I see it in words. Going to try and forget about it for now (doubtful that will happen 😂) and wait until the morning. Got to pick my daughter up from nursery soon anyway so I’m sure she’ll keep my mind occupied. Praying it’s real 🤞🏻🤍

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 15:54

@Marie1990xthat recent test looks better than the first one too! I’m sure it’s real, it would be the cruellest thing ever to not be!! Defo, and test in the morning with fresh wee 🤣🫶🏻

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 16:01

@Daniki yeah I feel a bit more confident now it’s on 2 tests 🫣. It’s very pink in person, so frustrating it’s not showing up in the photos.

Isn’t it mad how we’ve been on this thread for so long and (hopefully) both got positives within a month of each other 😂. Also hoping it’s real so I don’t have to go through with the hycosy I was dreading 😅😅🤣

Daniki · 19/03/2025 16:11

@Marie1990xi know! ❤️ it’s great! So happy for you genuinely 🥹

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 16:29

@Daniki thank you so much 🥰. It hasn’t clicked yet, hopefully in the morning if it’s stronger I’ll start to believe it 😂 x

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 16:30

@Marie1990xfor sure! And don’t be like me and over analyse every test to death 🤣 xx

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 16:39

@Daniki oh I absolutely will be 😂. If I get a strong line and positive digital, I’m going to try and just do digital weekly to hopefully see that go up. It’s what I did with my daughter (so I guess I was a bit anxious then too 😂). I did have a look at private blood tests to check hcg levels, but it’s all very confusing and quite expensive 🤔.

I’ve put the tests out of sight now so that when I need the loo I’m not tempted. Will have to pee fast so I can’t change my mind 😂😂

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 17:14

@Marie1990xwould your GP do them? Say you need fast confirmation because of your test coming up?! Xx

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 17:36

@Daniki I’m not 100% sure. I wanted to avoid going to the gp in case they kick me off the fertility list in case this doesn’t work out.

obviously I’ll have to tell them before my appointment, but want to wait until I get a blazing confirmation and AF is late. I’ve heard if you get pregnant, even if it doesn’t stick, they sometimes boot you off the list

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/03/2025 17:39

@Marie1990xyea iv actually seen that on other threads! Defo try and get a private one then so you know ❤️

Marie1990x · 19/03/2025 18:03

@Daniki I’ll see how the tests go the next couple of days and then see if I need to book in, take it from there. I’m drained 😅
