9dpo test advice

[sovahoneybun]

I am 9dpo today, I started testing yesterday eve at 8dpo, because I was getting strange shooting pains up my left thigh. Wanted some advice on my tests to see if I should get excited or not. This is my first. ❤️

Would love any encouragement or see if anyone else is going through the same time frame. I think I won’t be able to get excited fully until I see pregnant on a digital test. For now it’s unreal

Absolutely positive - that's a solid line. That's how mine looked at 9DPO too. Congratulations!

@blueberry23 Thank you so much ❤️. I’m trying to not get hopes up until I see the digital test versions haha. But reading thus made me feel so happy. I guess it’s very early days still. But it’s so pink in person especially the first response. So I know it’s not an evap line either.

did yours progress more every day? How long until you saw a solid dark pink line?

I'd say that's already a very very strong line for 9DPO.

By 11dpo you won't be doubting it at all if you decide to do another test in a couple of days.

It's so surreal isn't it! Takes a while to get your head around!

congratulations 💜💜💜

@blueberry23 @smilethrough Just did another test. Thought I’d do a clear blue digital for fun. And was not expecting this. I am in absolute disbelief. I’m so happy! This confirms it for me but it’s still so unreal 🥹🥰

Best feeling in the world @sovahoneybun you're going to be a mummy!

@sovahoneybun thats absolutely amazing, i got my 1-2 on 10dpo and i felt the same as you i could not believe it, amazing congrats xxx

@blueberry23 @smilethrough thank you both so much! I’ve been so happy since yesterday. But had a bit of a scare. It’s my first time so I think I will be very cautious with everything. I woke up at 1am for a night time wee, and had the tiniest bit of brown discharge. I couldn’t fall asleep after, I was so worried. But woke up at 6am and took another couple of tests for peace of mind - all positive. So I feel much better.

I booked a blood test for tomorrow, to help me relax a little. Have been having tiny little cramps today and have been very sleepy. Otherwise I feel good.

Have you experienced anything like this in your pregnancies? 🫶

@sovahoneybun I had a hell of a lot of cramps in the week too! seem to have gone away now and feeling absolutely no different to normal, its so strange.. just got to hope for the best havent we its so nerve wracking just fingers crossed and all the baby dust xxxx

@smilethrough how far along are you? Thank you lovely, baby dust to you too! I hope I stop being so anxious 😅…I overthink everything. Can’t wait to do the blood test tomorrow. Xx

im 5 weeks tomorrow 💜 xxx

Yes I had brown discharge with both my pregnancies. It's the embryo bedding in and probably just some implantation bleeding. Nothing to worry about! :-)

@blueberry23 thank you for saying that. It really put me at ease. These forums have been amazing. Now to figure out what to do next 😅 xxx

@smilethrough aww congratulations on your 5 weeks. How are your symptoms?
