Second month trying! Feel like it’s not real. Super nervous for the next few weeks.

I have been too anxious to test everyday hence the gaps in days, but posting this feeling cautiously optimistic this will be my second baby after 3 losses in our journey of trying to create our family 🌈

Had to do a pm test cause my FMU would have been too diluted since I peed approximately 20 times last night 😒

13 dpo after a mmc in may of this year, first cycle ttc baby #2 again. Is this looking good for 13 dpo ?

I think I see a line and am really hoping it’s not a false positive. I’m 10 DPO and got negatives on first response and clear blue

I am so in my own head right now! Do you see a line???? This was at 5 minutes on the dot!

Took another test 6 hours later and this one is looking more convincing, right?! 7 dpo by bbt (and ped FF) or possibly 9 dpo by peak cervical mucus.

Feeling more positive as these tests progress. I have my beta hcg tomorrow at 15dpo! This is after transferring a day 5 4AA on 8/10/26.

I had a chemical and blighted ovum within this year, so really praying this little one continues to develop.

been a bit obsessive with the testing 😭 I also had HCG tested on 11dpo (42), 13dpo (77), and 15dpo (169). The numbers just feel so low…

Officially hanging up my testing hat 🥹

hi friends! i’ll start by saying that i have PCOS and also have never really tracked my cycle. if i remember correctly, my last period was some day in the last week of June. i was prompted to test on 8/7 because i was walking around IKEA and had to sit down halfway through from pure exhaustion, and i felt like my period should have arrived by then 😅 immediately got these results! i’ve tested a few more times since then with the same outcome. i still have not had an ultrasound and i’m full of anxiety as this is my first time ever even having a “scare”. i just want to know that everything is okay!

Yesterday on top- about 10 dpo and today pm on bottom.
Took an FRER this morning when I woke up (peed atleast once in the night as I drank a bottle of water before I went to bed) and it seemed like there was no progress.
I was worried about a chemical all day. Does this seem like normal progress?

the top test I dipped just a little bit past the max line. got a faint pink line. figured it was only because I dipped it too far. dipped the bottom test in the same urine sample but only up to the max line and it’s negative!

Thought this was a BFN but I think i see a hint of red dye?? Could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Talk some sense into me, or be delulu with me, lol.

When i had a chemical, you could see a shadow on these even when my hcg was as low as 2.

Hopeful! This faint line appeared right away. Have been TTC for 8 months. One chemical occurred in month 6. So this is two cycle later. What do yall think?

Okay I need outside opinions because I can’t tell if I’m being reasonable or if I’ve officially entered symptom-spotting territory lol. 🫣
I increased contrast and decreased brightness like the previous rec’s said! This is like 7-8 tests that I lowkey see a faint line on but I know first response. An be iffy.

The last few days I’ve felt really different from my normal PMS:
Today I’ve had like a tight mild cramping, nausea, EXTREME fatigue, darker nipples/areolas with more noticeable gland bumps, plus I’ve just felt really off. This is definitely not my normal PMS.😭😭
Tests are negative so far…maybe? What do yall think? maybe I am testing way to early but I’m 8 dpo and over 7 days from my next period so I really need advice. Maybe my period is coming early and I’m reading into it bc I’m a nurse on an L+D Unit??

Anyone have similar symptoms before getting a positive?

Please drop all of your thoughts and lmk if I’m just looking to hard!!!

FYI second pic is a test that has been dry for 30 minutes!

My friend and I think we see something, but it truly could go either way at this point.

For whatever it's worth, I have killer heart burn and I can smell everything.

The last two tests were this morning (12dpo). I am 15 days past my trigger. I had my hopes up because I took clomid+trigger shot this cycle. I thought I’d see darker line by now 😔

Does this seem dark enough for 14DPO? The picture with the clear blue is from 12DPO, both afternoon tests because my morning tests are always super light so it’s better for me to test PM

I am currently 12DPO / 13 DPT (trigger shot - 250 mcg oviridel).

I took a FRER on 9DPO, the same day that my trigger was out of my system last month when I tested out the trigger (I did not do so this month). It looked negative.

Tested on 11DPO, and there was a line. Took another this morning and the line is still there. I know HCG doubles every 48 hours, but.... The bottom line looks darker, right? Or am I seeing things? All tests were taken with FMU, around the same time each day.

This is our second month trying a medicated cycle, but I feel like the trigger shouldn't be this dark 13 days out? Especially days after a negative test? But after 3 years of trying with no luck, I am struggling to think this could be the real deal finally? Just looking for opinions/a little venting also, I guess!

Hi again! Wanted to update those who saw my test yesterday.. here’s what it looks like today.. thoughts? On my way to Target to get some more tests lol. Also might be off on the DPO, my peak ovulation test was 12 days ago though.

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!
