Scared to test....I want to stay in my bubble 😬🙃

[Faith103]

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well as can be 😃

I know a lot of people test early because they can not wait for the result but I am the complete opposite I’m scared to test, I want to stay in my little bubble. I like to have hope that this time is the time.... 😃

I never thought I would be scared to test. 😮 I am 8days past 5dt.

The wait feels like it’s dragging now but also each day that passes I get more and more worried.

I know this is pretty normal but I am proud of how far I have come, I have been a lot more calm than I thought I would have been and that to me is a result... 😃

Positive vibes 😃

Good luck to everyone on their journey.

XxxxxxX ❤️

Aww well done! Testing too early only creates more stress and negativity! Whens your test date? Wishing you all the luck in the world ♥️💫🤞

[Faith103]

Thanks littlepea. My blood test is on Tuesday morning. 😃 last time I tested early and it put me in a state of negativity. Your definitely right about that, I think that’s why I’ve gone the other way this time as I do not want to feel that low again. The mind is very clever. Fingers crossed 🤞 for my test day 😃 xxxx happy thoughts 💭

[Littlepeax in reply to Faith103]

Aww let me know how you get on ♥️ I have a good feeling for you!! You seem so positive and I really think this helps your chances 🥰🤞

[Faith103 in reply to Littlepeax]

Thank you, ❤️ I think it helps having my partner around he’s always such a positive person in every situation. Hope you are as well as can be given the circumstances for what happened to you a few weeks back xxxx ❤️

[Littlepeax in reply to Faith103]

Yes I love having my husband around, he is very positive too! I'm recovering well thanks hun just finished my antibiotics. I'm going to wait a couple of months and do a new cycle ♥️😊 best of luck xxx

[Faith103 in reply to Littlepeax]

Sounds like a plan. Keep going and look after yourself xxxx ❤️

[Millbanks]

I was exactly the same. Terrified to know the result either way. Wishing you so much luck for when you do xxx

[Faith103 in reply to Millbanks]

Glad I am not the only one 😃 thank you for your kind words xxxx ❤️

[Millbanks in reply to Faith103]

🥰 it’s definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Trying to balance out hope that it will work and protecting myself for if it didn’t. I was up and down like a yo-yo but ultimately once you’re in the 2WW there’s nothing more you can do to influence the outcome. So try to relax 😬💖

I found it helpful to have a plan in place in my mind of all the nice things I could do if it wasn’t successful. Like nice wine and cheese, and visiting friends (not easy now though)... xxx

[Faith103 in reply to Millbanks]

Yes your totally right. I’m going to try and keep my mind busy and hopeful and not think to much about it. It’s that hope for the best and expect the worse scenario. I am happy with my attitude this time. It always helps to have lovely girls in here to speak to. It’s nice to share the experiences and get advice xxxx ❤️

[Millbanks in reply to Faith103]

It is indeed. It’s been such a gift for me going through this all xxx

[Faith103 in reply to Millbanks]

I think we all have our story. Such a tough emotional journey. I wish you all the luck and I hope you get your miracle soon 😃 xxxx

I used to be an early tester, but had to change my ways! Keep going, you’re doing well 🤩😄🤞 everything crossed for you!

[Faith103 in reply to AS100]

Thank you ☺️ it’s hard both ways but I know how much it effected me last time early testing. Fingers and toes crossed 🤞 xxxx

[Cinderella5]

Aww best of luck.....sometimes ignorance really is bliss! Ive always been a sneaky tester and cant hold out so well done & good luck.xx

[Faith103 in reply to Cinderella5]

I honestly thought I would be tempted but I have totally shocked myself. Thank you for your kind words xxxx ❤️

[Buisquits]

Well done! I'm totally with you! It's better not to know sometimes. I've tested on the test day and it was positive. I've notice that people who test early panic anyway and test every day checking how dark the line is getting., I see why they are doing it but You rae defo saving yourself that stress! Fingers crossed and can't wait for an update in a few days!

[Faith103 in reply to Buisquits]

Yea your totally right. I’m going to try and keep a positive attitude. I think I learnt my lessons the last time and my brain has remembered and made me go the opposite way. It’s defo made me feel more relaxed this way xxxx thanks for your kind words ❤️

[FrancyItaly]

I think it’s scary and very exciting, but I would wait a few more days. I know the temptation is there! Are you having any symptoms? During my 2ww I feel lots of symptoms and usually tend to test very early, then I obsess that I tested too early and I might still be pregnant. Try to get distracted and wait your testing day. I wish you all the best! 💕

[Faith103 in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thank you for your kind words xxxx❤️

[danae35]

Hi, I’m 7 days past 5dt, 😊I must test on the 25th..... I can’t go out from home as I’m in quarantine for 14 days, so I can’t go to buy a test🥰, my partner wants to wait until at least 24.....he don’t want me to make a false hope 😊so I have to wait and hope

Good luck to you 😘

[Faith103 in reply to danae35]

Thank you ❤️ good luck to you too hun 🤞 xxxx

[Solly-44]

I’m exactly the same. Someone said that I had real willpower in waiting but I was just scared of testing really!

I think it’s best to wait til your otd anyway. Huge luck to you xx

[Faith103 in reply to Solly-44]

I don’t feel like I’ve got any will power I’m just not tempted to test like you was I’m scared. I can live in hope at the min lol 😂 thanks for the kind words I’m sure I will manage to hold off until test date as I’m so scared lol 😂 I hope everything is going well with your pregnancy xxxx ❤️

[farfalle15]

I'm the same - I'd rather stay in a bubble of hoping things will work out! Sending you lots of positive thoughts xx

[Faith103 in reply to farfalle15]

Thank you so much. It makes life that little bit easier to think like this. Wish you all the luck in the world.xxxx ❤️❤️

[Keepingfaith85]

Yes stay in your happy bubble ☺️ I did that last time and it took away so much stress! Good luck for next Tuesday xx

[lifeishope]

If you can at all DO NOT TEST. I wasted €40 on tests - all negative. I tested at7 days 8 days 9days and 10days. Cried my eyes out going for BETA. Pretty much convinced myself and the nurse that I was out of luck. Now almost 6 weeks... The mind is the most powerful muscle in the body and since that experience I am training myself each and every day to be positive... I got my BETA brought forward a day as I couldn’t wait any longer and was heavily cramping / the heavy cramping was my stress over negative home tests...

best wishes and positive vibes to you xxx

[Faith103]

Just an update....I got my positive result.... thank you for your kind words ❤️🌈 xxxx

[Buisquits in reply to Faith103]
