***January 2020 Testing Thread***

Good Morning all.

Very tired this morning, had horrible insomnia last night... a sign AF is a day or 2 away. Another BFN this morning, 11DPO. I think we are out this month, though temperature has still not dropped yet. Again, not too disappointed as we originally had planned to WTT until February.

So happy to see all the BFPs!

Lightening - will probably be joining you in the February testing month. I hope you get some answers from your doctor.

Sorry that it seems AF is coming for you hopefully next cycle is the lucky one for both of us

Nice lines ladies. Sorry joannaxoxo, wishing you every future success soon.

Me: 6dpo today I think..feel absolutely like I do every month except I've had some quite large globs of creamy CM...I know the first week of the 2WW this can just be the rise in progesterone but it's not usual for me so hopefully something different could be good?

Have a great day everyone.

Ladies I've got myself in such a mess this morning. Everything has be looking really good up until last night. Yesterday lunchtime I got 2-3 on cb digital and other tests where lovely and dark, almost equal to the control line. I finally let myself get excited. Then last nights looked a little lighter. I instantly freaked and have spent most of the night awake with stomach and back cramps. I was so hoping that maybe my urine was just a little more diluted but this morning I'm still convinced there not looking good. Surely by 15dpo they should be equalling the control line. Worst of all my frer is lighter the 12dpo. Im absolutely distraught now. I can't cope coming this far after 4 chemicals in a year for it to still go wrong. I feel like the second I've let my guard down I'm going to lose this pregnancy

I think they still look ok. Remember the amount you drink and pee etc can make a difference. Looks like the strips are not yet dry..see how they look in a bit? Both lines on the bottom Frer are thinner so could just be a variation in the lines on the test.?
I have everything crossed for you..I know how much of a worry it is but try to take a deep breath..we can't change what will be by worrying more. Hugs x

@Laurabub84 They still look ok to me, I know it's hard but try to relax a little as stress isn't good for your little bean. I would try to get in for some HCG level blood tests if you can? As Dee said, it could be as simple as you having drank a little more water. Fingers crossed for you! xx

And remember pregnancy tests are meant to give a yes or no answer - they are not designed for progression. Maybe try to wait a few days and then test again?

Laurabub I know what it’s like (I’ve had spotting today) but I agree it won’t help or change anything maybe I need to take my own advice. I found my afternoon sample the strongest it would go weak then strong again

 

[Bevziibubble]

Your tests look great hun

Hi Laura,
I hope you’re okay! I would say that looking at the top picture, the bottom has test has a lot less dye in the test than the top one!

And I actually think today’s FRERs is a dye stealer as it’s a shade darker than the control line!

These were my tests with DD (she’s now 5!) I started getting bfp at 9dpo and look how light the FRER is on 14dpo!

thinking of you!

 

[Laurabub84]

Thank you ladies. I've lost the plot today. I just want this baby so much. I went from feeling so happy yesterday lunchtime to have lost hope today. I just thought my tests would have been darker now I've missed my period.
Thank you for sharing your tests @laurarebecca1 that does make me feel a little better to know you had a successful pregnancy with a faint 14dpo frer. I'm trying to calm myself and wait for tomorrow's tests but I'm going to be so scared to do them

[Deethehippy]

HCG doesn't go down as quick as it goes up i think...maybe wait until Friday to retest? Give yourself one days break.

 

[Laurabub84]

@wantingagirl I'm sorry your going through a hard time. Spotting doesn't always mean somethings wrong but is always scary to see. I had 2 episodes of bleeding in my 1st trimester with my 3rd baby and 3 with my last baby. Everything was fine with them. With my last I went to the epu for a scan and there was a tiny bleed next to baby but it turned out to be nothing to worry about. How many weeks are you now?

 

[Deethehippy]

My internet cheapie strips turnt up so I thought what the hell and POAS, there is a very faint line...has to be a an evaporation or dye run right.? .I am only 6dpo! I have never had any sort of line on these unless pregnant - I've been lucky enough not to get evaps in the past.


EDIT - got back from school run and it had dried super light..pretty sure just an evap line. Wouldn't catch on a photo. Will test again next few days.

Good luck. Hopefully it's the start of something

I tested again this evening. Just had to check again and they are nice and dark again. Frer is now slightly darker than the control line and my clinical guard strip is nearly equal. I can't believe how silly I was and how much of a mess I got in this morning. I've spent the day on and off in tears convinced it wasn't going to work out. I know it's still very early days and I don't think I'm going to be able to really relax until I see this baby's heart beating but at least for tonight I can get some sleep without fretting. I hope I haven't caused any stress to this little bean today. Gonna try and stay calm now. Thank you for your support and kind words today girls. Its much appreciated

 

[Deethehippy]

Yay! Don’t worry, a little bit of stress won’t hurt the bubba. Try to relax and do something that you enjoy like watching your favourite tv show or anything to help take your mind off things x

 

[Pineberry]

@Laurabub, sorry you've had such a rough day. Impossible not be a ball of worry when you've had one or more previous losses, eh. I am certain that all will turn out to be fine and you'll see a nice, strong heartbeat at your ultrasound. Do you already have an appointment?

@jellybeanxx - Forgot to ask you, how are you doing dear? How's the cycle going and where are you at right now?

 

[2nd time]

Anyone see this. Evap or positive
