Now 2nd guessing the lines

I’ve ignored all of my own advice and had to test the minute the tests came through the letterbox. I’m 8dp5dt with OTD on Wednesday. I swore I wouldn’t test early but there you go, my will power is shocking!

Early elation at seeing that 2nd line but now I’m sat here googling everything and wondering whether it’s dark enough. We’re never happy are we.

yes I used a urine test on day 10 and was negative not sure how reliable they are… I am so delighted to hear you outcome so far xxx

in reply to Meli_

sorry to hear that. This journey is so difficult at times. I still find it hard to stay positive after so much heartache. keeping everything crossed for you for OTD xx

STEP AWAY FROM GOOGLE!!! Honestly the years I have been on here I have seen people with super strong lines end up upset and yet people with fainter lines going on to have babies! Everyones HCG levels are different and this is your 'journey' no one else's. As you know all you can do is test again in a couple of days (I know you will tomorrow lols), but a line is a line as they say! So for now a cautious congratulations!! Celebrate this as a good day. Also from one scarred warrior to another, try hard not to over analyse line progression, its done nothing for me than cause early and sometimes unnecessary angst xx

Thank you Daisy. Of course I tested this morning! I think it’s a tiny bit darker. Definitely not any lighter so I’m taking that as a good sign and leaving it now until OTD on Wednesday. What will be will be. Last time line progression was great but that ended with a MMC at 7 weeks so I know it doesn’t mean a lot to the outcome. Trying to keep positive vibes now xx

That's super news lovely, glad it's a little darker. I am so sorry your MC has kind of scarred this positive moment but remember every pregnancy is different and even after loads of MC things can still work out. Update us all on OTD! Good luck xx

Congratulations! This is great news. Focus on today for now - today, all is well and you're pregnant! Whole new round, new embryo. I know you'll probably test daily 😂 but try not to get too focused on the testing if you can help it. Really pleased for you xx

looks like a line to me. Wait for test day now and then you will have clarity on it. All I ever hear is use First Response so that’s what I’m doing in a few days Ekk! I dear not do it yet as working all weekend and can’t cope with the highs and lows of it all so waiting it out🧘‍♀️

100% did the same thing today. My OTD is Tuesday. I also had a faint positive line today but I'm keeping it in the back of my mind and going to try to behave myself and hold out now till Tuesday. I haven't even told my husband as he will tell me off for testing early! 😂

gosh I’m so excited for you, I had a horrible dream last night I told my wife when I woke up and she had a wonderful positive dream so we clearly have a lot on our mind. I’m going to wait so I don’t have to face what ever the reality is just yet. But I’m so excited to know x

The dreams! I remember last time having absolutely mental dreams and this time is the same. Last night I woke up boiling hot having had a very complex nightmare, terrifying stuff and could do without it! Must be the anxiety.

I dreamt that everyone but me knew my transfer didn’t go well and they have let me live the TWW regardless. cold sweats the lot.

But my wife dreamt of a positive test and she saw a bright highlighter pink line apparently not even sure that’s a thing. But I’ll go with her dream.

I’m so excited for your line! You got this! X

Definitely go with hers, hers is lovely! My dream was totally unrelated but involved me running away from something terrifying the whole time. I woke up exhausted! Thank you. I'm trying not to get excited till Tuesday. Going to try to enjoy the weekend and distract myself! Hope you can do the same! Xx

in reply to ButtercupGarden

in reply to Rainbowdreams82

Thank you, of course I did. I think it’s a tiny bit darker today. I’ll leave it now until Wednesday. All the best of luck to you too xx

congratulations! Clear enough line to me! I don’t think the darkness of the lines mean anything really- just probably depends on how much you drank that day and the time at which you took the test. For me any line is a line and that’s that!
