Disregard. Clearblue is neg. Must be dye run :(

As long as AF is not here , there is a chance of getting BFP. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hey can I join this thread? I’m currently on cycle day 7 and according to my app due to ovulate in around 5 days this is our first month trying this year, we have had a few chemical pregnancies so decided to have a brake for a
while

@ShivWesker what a rollercoaster, sorry ❤️ but it’s true that all hope is not lost. Crossing everything for you. @Creepyoctopus and @LucyCL all the best with getting busy! This could be your month

ShivWesker · 29/03/2026 23:21

I’m really hoping this isn’t a false positive. It came up by the 3 min mark tho so 🤞🤞🤞

Just did another test and it was negative. I’m now leaning on the side of false positive again :(

Girls.. I’m mentally preparing myself for a chemical. First pic is yesterday 11dpo, second pic is today 12dpo. Got a negative digital this morning too.

My tests were unmistakable by this point with my DD, feeling a bit unsure and a bit sad after feeling so happy yesterday. Been trying for baby no 2 since June 2024 😞

@ShivWesker I would honestly just stick to FMU - false positives are very rare, especially if the test is in date. What’s today’s update?

@Janey3090 that looks ok for 11/12 days to me, give it time. The second looks darker than the first, so going in the right direction. But yes, guard your heart anyway, this early stage is fragile. Keep us posted.

DmcinT · 30/03/2026 09:18

@ShivWesker what a rollercoaster but since it would be so early u could deff show up negative if you’ve drank a lot of water or not fmu. Fingers crossed for u this morning if ur testing.
@Janey3090 I think 12 dpo looks deff darker than the11 day one. Plus the digitals are a much higher hcg level so prob won’t show on those until after missed period. Sending all the baby dust.

I am due to ovulate in the next 2-3 days so will be roughly 10/ 11 dpo on my birthday which would be so amazing if it’s a BFP 🤞🏽 but horrible if it’s a bfn

HopefulLeopard · 30/03/2026 10:05

@ShivWesker keeping everything crossed for a lovely clear line this morning (if you’re testing!), what a rollercoaster of emotions for you.

@Janey3090 I do think those lines look ok for 11/12 dpo, you’re absolutely right to try to protect yourself but don't completely lose hope yet. I’ve found that brand of tests didn’t get dark that quickly for me in the past but were quite good for line progression and your 12dpo line is definitely darker than your 11dpo one.

@hollyhocks2 how are you feeling? I really hope everything is going well for you.

hollyhocks2 · 30/03/2026 11:11

Ah thanks for asking @HopefulLeopard I am obsessing like mad but I have had no real causes for concern so far. The time is passing like treacle, can’t believe how slow. 4 weeks 4 days. Conscious how many hurdles there are to come. Physically I’m fine really, very mild and few symptoms but that is normal for all my pregnancies, including my successful one. How many dpo are you now?

ShivWesker · 30/03/2026 11:29

Negative this morning :( I’m absolutely gutted. I was so excited yesterday. What a cruel false positive :(

OP posts:
TTCFTM2026 · 30/03/2026 12:57

I think I'm 5 DPO today, felt nauseous after eating my normal breakfast. Trying not to read into every little thing. First cycle trying for first baby so nothing to compare to. Thankfully, I don't have any tests in the house!

DmcinT · 30/03/2026 16:41

@ShivWesker oh I am so sorry, that is so so cruel. U have every right to feel extra gutted❤️ how may soo are u now?

@TTCFTM2026 welcome along, i got pregnant first time with first 2 pregnancies so it deff happens, everything crossed for u x

i got 0.44 on opk this afternoon so id imagine its starting to rise and maybe peak tomorrow which is only cd11 for me, so ovulation on day 12 would deff be early for me. I’ve felt so much more activity since finishing breastfeeding (twinges, cm etc) i hope its the missing piece we needed 🤞🏽

ShivWesker · 30/03/2026 21:14

Still getting really dark LH tests. Possible implantation? Latest reading was 0.61 according to FF xx

Sometimes, we get LH surges just before AF. It's also possible that implantation is trying to happen although a tad late.

I'm also 5dpo today. I plan testing at 10dpo on Friday.

ShivWesker · 31/03/2026 03:26

Another false positive. 7dpo. This is a terrible batch of the essy@home tests.

Does it have color in person?

HopefulLeopard · 31/03/2026 09:57

@hollyhocks2 I’m around 8dpo today. In the past I’d have definitely done a test this morning and probably yesterday too but I’m trying to hold off until Friday if I can.

@ShivWesker was the negative test the same brand? Do you have a different brand you can try? Because those are incredibly cruel evap lines if that’s what they are! Really thinking of you.

Both false ones did but clear blues have been stark white. I even got my partner to do one last night, an easy@home one, and his was white too. I don’t get it, honestly. Such a head f :(

Can’t afford anymore until next week unfortunately. At least I’ll know by then, I guess aha 🫶
