Confession... today I am 10dp5dt and OTD is Saturday. I confess I caved and tested early from evening of 7dp5dt and have a very very faint positive. I since tested the last 3 mornings and it’s still very very faint, I am convinced lighted and now I’m panicking it’s chemical and I just so wish I haven’t tested.
I also told my husband on Monday when I did it and he wasn’t that happy and he’s so scared and worried he didn’t want to acknowledge it and now wish I didn’t do it.
I have felt all week like my period is coming back aches and tummy cramps and just feel a bit panicky and wobbly!!! Xx

I had period like feeling for a while at the start of this pregnancy so I wouldn't look too much into that as its so common.
I had a chemical on my first go and I know how bad the worry is. Easier said than done but try put it out your mind until Saturday when you will have a better idea of what's going on. Stay away from the tests as you will only give yourself dodgy eyes from staring at them and send your mind into overdrive. Put them in the car, it worked for me. Even after our bfp I only tested 48 hours after and then 48 hours after that and then binned the rest as your hcg levels can do all sorts to tests. I had a blood test to check it was rising instead.
Stay positive as nothing is gained from worry-easier than done I know. You are doing so well and being so strong. It's only two sleeps to go. You can do it xxxx
I didn't take a home test until after my confirmed beta, only because I wanted to see it for myself. My first line was quite dark.. but I took 3 more after about two days apart (because I always worry) and each test got lighter. I read up on it and all I got was bad news, but after two additional (scheduled) betas, my numbers were still going up. And my last one on Monday was over 35,000 (I had a slight bleed). I am currently 5 weeks 6 days, so I'm not out of the woods. But don't let that faint line worry you so much yet like it did me! Sending many prayers for a healthy pregnancy Xx
