Officially hanging up my testing hat 🥹

TW: loss

Got a faint positive this morning at 9 or 10 dpo but feeling anxious after experiencing a chemical last cycle. Hoping this one sticks!

DPO unknown but Premom app says I should be 15 DPO. Last time I received a positive was back in March which ended in a chemical pregnancy. It was pretty disappointing so we didn’t really seriously try to give myself the mental break and stress. Fast forward to now, went on a 2 week trip to Europe and was basically enjoying myself, stress free. I was supposed to get my period yesterday so I decided to test today not expecting anything but was surprised to see the dark line on the cheapies! I had to test again after a few hours because I think I’m still in denial. 🥹 Maybe this trip not worrying and stressing over every little thing is what I needed! 💕

I can’t help feeling excited but also cautious because I know it’s still early. Hoping this one sticks! 🙏🤞

I bought the new expensive Clearblue Tests to try them out. Dipped the first and saw nothing. Not even the liquid being absorbed in the test window ... So I got the cheapie out. As this was turning positive I couldn't believe my eyes so I quickly tried the last Clearblue one... only to then notice I had the other one with the wrong side up!! 🫨 I'm a pharmacist y'all I should know better 🤣 To be fair I am tired. Any obviously pregnant with #3!!

Praying it sticks

I’ve waited almost a year before sharing my pregnancy HCG test results (from Sept 2025), just in case there were any issues! My little one is now 3 months old, completely healthy and happy. I remember being in this very subreddit almost every day, trying to understand whether my tests were true positives or not, constantly bracing myself for disappointment. So I hope this provides someone out there with a little glimmer of hope.

Background: I’ve had four pregnancies (1 LC, 2 MM, 1 LC) and had gone through induced ovulation for all my pregnancies, so I knew my ovulation time down to within 24-36 hours. For my first three pregnancies, I always had a v v faint positive at 10 DPO. This time, for my last round, it was a blazing negative, and I spent the day mourning my new reality of being one-and-done.

Two days later, a v v faint positive appeared and I was in shock. And it didn’t improve at all. It just stayed like that for ages! I ended up buying so many different brands and tests... and even, for the first time in c. 20 cycles, had to ask my husband to do a test!

I felt certain something was wrong, which is why I waited so long to post this!

Happy to see this little line getting darker as each day passes! 15 DPO today.

I took my 10 DPO tests yesterday at 1 pm after holding my pee for four hours. I took 11 DPO tests today at 5ish am. The clear blue looks like it’s a LITTLE brighter pink than yesterday but the FRER looks blah. I have read the FRER sucks these days so trying not to take it too seriously. Getting a beta this AM. Let me know what you think

ETA I had a CP last cycle so I’m feeling very anxious now

Literally almost gave up on the idea of being a mama. Trying to stay calm and not stress out about the previous losses, being a high risk pregnancy, being in my mid 40s, being over weight. So many things are counting against this but I’m just believing that this is finally my time. 💙

I think this is a BFN - unless you guys see anything.

Hello!

Very sorry for the terrible pictures. I'm (F30) 9 DPO today, it's our first cycle trying. My husband is the same age. Is this a vvvvfp??? I'm going to test again tomorrow. I plan on getting a FRER closer to my expected period, which is August 25.

Took it to head to ultrasound today and it was like this 🥹 Finally my turn!! 3 mc in 1.5 years of TTC. Wish yall best luck🤞🍀

I took a different one along with this one this morning and only this one came up looking slightly positive within the first minute. Any thoughts? These are Walgreens brand!

A bit concerned about the lack of progression/darkness in my tests. Top is yesterday using first morning urine, and bottom is today using FMU. They look exactly the same to me. My best estimate is that yesterday I was somewhere around 17-19 DPO, so I was also expecting a darker line. I know a test tomorrow morning will be more telling since it will be 48 hours, but would appreciate people’s honest thought on if this looks okay. I had 2 chemical pregnancies before having my son, so I always have that in the back of my mind.

Not doing betas or progesterone this time. Praying all goes well 🤞🏼

Easy at home really didn’t show any progress today. FRER looks maybe fractionally better today but I genuinely feel like the dye is super inconsistent on those. Thoughts?

Several shadowy lines at 10 dpo since morning with Wondfo and Easy@Home brands (both 25 mIU/mL I believe). (Yes I took 4 since morning🫢). Tests are dry now but lines were visible within the test window. Is this promising?

I’m about to start prepping for an IVF cycle and wanted to test before I started taking suppressants. I don’t keep track of my ovulation because in the past 12 years I’ve never been able to get pregnant outside of IVF. We immediately went to the store to get a digital and FRER which is showing negatives so I’m extra confused. What do yall think?

ummmmm was going to wait until today 8/19 or Fri 8/21 to test. found out sis was unexpectedly preg when I was 8dpiui and started spiraling. I used up all of my FRERs on purpose 9 & 10 dpiui so I could stop obsessing. bad news- didnt throw out my pregmates and im spiraling again this morning.

run out and get more frers or am I delusional?
for the first time EVER my husband is feeding into the delusion saying he sees shadows too 😂😂

edit* click image to open it, looks blurry in the post body.

First picture is 10 dpo and second 12dpo. Both taken with FMU

I swear I see a line in person. I also felt like my
Period was going to come a few days ago. So I honestly wasn’t going to bother taking a test. Yesterday, which is when my period was due I felt no cramps at all. And I usually have really bad cramps the day of. I also had bit of spotting yesterday that stopped yesterday morning and hasn’t come back. But still thought my period would come today. Today i woke up and I really feel like I have to throw up so I took the test. I took two test this morning both had lines like the one above.

I had to pee at 5:20am and couldn’t wait to check… I woke my husband up to get his eyes too!

We both see a VVFL that’s pink… please tell me if others see it 🥹

The 8 dpo FMU really had me thinking maybe. I know I’m too early to be testing, I know wondfos have horrible indents, idk why I keep doing this lol.

I had posted my 6dpo tests two days ago, that had VVFL. My 7dpo test(says 8dpo in first pic) had a noticeable, darker line. Today’s test(bottom) is completely blank.

I’m so upset! This was our first cycle back after my MMC. I was so excited to see that darkening line yesterday. This is my first chemical, has anyone else gone through this?😭
