3DPO - who wants to be TWW Buddies?

[brandonsgirl]

I went and got a early pregnancy test from Superdrug today (their own brand). Took it after about 4 hour hold (man did I need to go!!) lol.

Anyways, looks like another Evap. I thought I saw a hint of a line but the casing made it so shadowy it was hard to tell..... so I took it apart (yes I know ladies, it invalidates it. But I'm pretty sure it's an evap anyways)

What do you all think. I'm sure there isn't any colour, but why do I keep getting evaps? This is a different brand to the IC I got them on last time. First photo is within 3 mins and the second one is within 10 mins.
Also added the photo with it in the case around 2-3 mins.

I see a hint of a line. I would keep testing Every 2 days until its either definitely negative or definitely positive.. You would think it would be easier to get a good answer with these tests!

 

[brandonsgirl]

Urgh I know. Evap are cruel

brandonsgirl, I see something on the left two, I think. Maybe try again tomorrow! The days seem to be passing quickly (at least for me) so it should be more evident soon

 

[brandonsgirl]

@gardengrl thanks for looking. I just don't wanna get my hopes up in case it's another evap. I'm still early at 7dpo so who knows. Will try and hold out till 7:30 this evening which will be 5 hour hold as I usually get up to pee a couple of times a night so it's not very concentrated with FMU. Don't think I will let it get to me till about 10DPO which is when I got my BFP with DD.

The photos don't show it as much as irl, and I ran the test under water to see if it disappeared which it didn't but it's so faint I really can't tell if it's got colour.

The waiting game is impossible when you're as impatient as me

What are you all doing to keep yourselves busy?

I've been trying to think of creative ways to tell hubby when I do get my BFP.

I was thinking of getting a helium balloon in the shape of a heart or something and putting it on the bed with a big teddy the kids have got and a pair of shoes that both kids have worn and the pregnancy tests saying positive/pregnant.

Congrats cookie!!

@Brandon, I see what you're seeing. I would just wait another day or so, you're not out until AF!

I'm starting to get really frustrated. I assume i'm like 10 DPO at this point. Nothing on my tests they all look negative. All week i've been cramping off and on and low back pain. I've had a headache for going on 3 days and feel like I have the flu (congestion and phlegm) and to top it off intermittent nipple sensitivity/itchiness. So, I feel like crap and I have no proof that the reason why is a good reason. I know I'm whining, but ugggggh.

 

[brandonsgirl]

Those are all good symptoms minamae. Fingers crossed for you x

I've been following this thread since it started, My last AF ended up being 6 days late which pushed this cycle back. I am almost into my fertile window and it seems like its taking forever!!! I really hope you all get your BFP's and that I can join in soon!

I see a hint of pink on the cased pic with my brightness right up!! Eek fingers crossed

 

[gardengrl]

cute idea, brandonsgirl!

mina, i had horrible headaches every day from 10 dpo last time, which i felt like could be hormone related (along with..um..dryness..), so I think headaches could be a good sign that you might be pregnant! I started getting faint positives the day after my headaches started. I'm waiting to see if I will get them again this time. Although I really hope that's not my early pregnancy symptom..not sure if nausea or that is worse

 

[brandonsgirl]

Ergh I'm always prone to headaches. They're awful. Hope they aren't too bad for you ladies!!

 

[brandonsgirl]

I checked the test after I got back from the school run which was two and a half hours after taking it so I know it's not able to be read as true results but here's the photos anyways. Edited and unedited.

 

[MinaMae]

@brandonsgirl I really see it on the inverted one!! So excited for you. Can't wait to see your test for tomorrowwwww!

Also, yeah. I usually only get headaches if I leave my hair in a tight ponytail or bun all day.. I never wake up with one. But I have the past 2 mornings. This morning I kind of understand I didn't sleep well. Had a shitty nightmare that woke me up and had a harder time going back to sleep.

Eep thank you.

Oh no, nightmares are cruel. Hope it didn't worry / scare you too much!

 

[gardengrl]

@mina, sorry about the bad dreams. I had a bad dream last night too--in which I witnessed a murder and was trying to get away. Would make a great movie or short story! Some ppl say they have crazy dreams during pregnancy but I dream frequently anyways so idk.

 

[MinaMae]

Thanks! I dream every night. My DH can never remember if he dreams, lol. That's so crazy to me! I don't usually have nightmares though. But, I think it's more of a fluke than anything else lol. Just my brain trying to torment me into not sleeping enough to be tired and cranky all day.
