I tested early on my two pregnancies before and had two successful pregnancies then I had an early miscarriage and a chemical miscarriage last year and I was trying my hardest not to test early because of the heartbreak I experienced from the last two times. I’ve been trying this month and hoping I get a positive next month but I don’t know how I am going to stop myself from testing early, I worry so much after having the miscarriages anyone else finding it hard not to test so early x

9DPO today! Happy for you @LaTable

LaTable · 05/03/2025 13:48

9dpo is still so early! I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Laria19 · 05/03/2025 13:51

9 dpo is when I got this test and it’s just about a visible line. What kind of tests are you using x @LucyLou0527

I meam I've got darker since haha I want to wait until the weekend for my last test

How are you feeling today @Laria19

Laria19 · 05/03/2025 15:16

I get the holding out on the last test I have two digitalis and I’m holding out to using them too 😅im feeling good very bloated though 😂how are you.

I'm feeling nauseous. But can't decide if it's pregnancy related or not. I'm always one who always talks herself out of it being pregnancy related, especially because both my girls and all (except the last mmc) were symptomless until week 6 where I basically just had tiredness and bleeding
Also the tiredness but that could just be because it's finally sunny and that makes me tired, or the kids being on half term, or the lack of decent sleep which also maybe pregnancy related 😅😅😅

🤣 And to think this thread was called tips on how to avoid testing early 😂 I can't believe most of you are pregnant! (I don't count as I think I first popped on when I got my own squinter at 9dpo rather than beforehand!) I still kinda regret testing early as it was even longer uncertainty! I'm only just past 5 weeks but feel like I've known forever 😂

LaTable · 05/03/2025 17:59

Clearly all our tips were utter trash 🙈🙈

LucyLou0527 · 05/03/2025 19:54

Thank you ladies! I’m using wondfo but I feel like they just leave horrible evaps, even though I know I just shouldn’t look at them later😂

LaTable · 05/03/2025 20:22

If you don't have a stash of previously peed on sticks from the last / current cycle are you even ttc? 🤣

LaTable · 06/03/2025 14:22

So is it just me whose libido goes crazy when pregnant but currently too terrified of actually doing anything about it because it's still so early and I don't wanna bleed ? 😅😅😅🙈

Laria19 · 06/03/2025 19:15

Ah I was like that on my first child 😂not so much on my second so it will interesting to see what I will be like on my third lol.Totally get why your worried about bleeding as well I do worry about it too.

@LucyLou0527 any bfp?

LucyLou0527 · 08/03/2025 12:09

I’m 12 dpo and still bfn.. guessing I’m out this month guys 🥲x

LaTable · 08/03/2025 12:13

Aw bummer, I mean there is still time but probably not looking great this month you're right

Absolutely routing for you and @Orangelover for next month 🤞

Laria19 · 08/03/2025 12:35

Wow your a busy woman @LaTable yes I know the next couple of weeks will feel like an eternity, I get to have a 6 week scan because of the miscarriages so hopefully I can make it to that. @LucyLou0527 Maybe you ovulated late ? But yes roothing for the rest of you girls, hopefully next month is the month you get lucky 😊x

Congratulations on the BFPs!

It's another no hoper for me this month as DH on a work trip in the US for the whole fertile window. Sure I'll still do some tests though just to waste some money when the time comes Grin

April is my month Wink

LaTable · 08/03/2025 13:33

Hahaha house renovating 😅 it's never ending.

I thought he was back for the tail end of fertility week @Orangelover ?

Orangelover · 08/03/2025 13:47

Window has moved as my period was day early according to my app Sad

I'm doing my OPKs and channelling ovulation delay vibes Grin as soon as he walks through the door I've told him I don't care about jet lag he's getting on with it Blush

LaTable · 08/03/2025 14:16

Hahahaha I'd be at the airport bathroom waiting for him 😅

LaTable · 08/03/2025 18:53

Will 12 weeks be your first scan?
