Hey guys,
So I married my husband last month and decided to try for a baby straight away. We are both 25. My last period was 30th July. We slept together on the 9th August and not again since as I was really unwell (not related to TTC) so we had almost written this month off. I thought I ovulated on the 10th but only going by CM so held onto a tiny bit of hope. Since then I have had my boobs grow like before my period they are heavy and rock solid (usually tiny), one of my dinners didn’t taste right that I usually eat once a week, I am peeing every 20 mins and this morning woke feeling quite nauseous. I took a test today (21st Aug) with my period due on 26th. Nothing came up on clear blue, but the faintest line came up on first response. You can see it but only just. Do we think I’ve got my hopes up or could this be my rainbow baby 🌈🙏🏻

With my DC3, we only had sex once in the cycle she was conceived and straight away i knew by the symptoms i was having that i was pregnant (wasnt even trying to conceive so wasn't tracking ovulation). I used a first response a few days before I was due on and chucked it away because It looked negative. Couldn't shake the feeling of being pregnant so took a test 2 days later and had a super faint line on first response, so faint i wasnt sure if i was imagining it. A few days later I had a very clear line.
As for clear blue tests, they are rubbish for early testing. All 3 of my dc come back negative on clear blues until about 1-2 weeks after my missed period. I had read this is because first response is a lot more sensitive than clear blue. You can google the hcg levels needed for the tests and clear blues is alot more than first response.
Take another test in 2 days it sounds promising Flowers

You might well have tested too early. It's really hard, but try not to test until the day your period is due (or the day before at the least). It really helps because if you test early and it's negative then you don't believe it, and if you test early and it's positive you know during the time when it's at its most vulnerable.
