BFP or BFN?

Yesterday I was not able to resist myself and I did a pregnancy test at home, which was positive. I did it because I was feeling my breast a bit sore....so yesterday I was over the moon.

But in the past I had home tests that were positive and later with the blood test it was negative, so I keep questioning everything....and that's why today I am starting to think that it is not going to be positive because I don't feel my breast the same.

Ahhhh I hate these 2 weeks!!!!

Oh it's so hard not to symptom spot!

The month I was pregnant (sadly ended in a chemical) i didn't have my usual sore breasts, and other months i have and haven't had them. So from my experience the sore or not sore breasts were not a reliable indicator. A test is a much better idicator so i'd say try not to read too much into the body symptoms as they can be so random.

Fingers crossed for you and outcome on OTD x

I know.... terrible keep second guessing ourselves during these period. When I got pregnant I was in a constant pain, so I find very difficult to relate to the symptoms....hopefully this time things will be different.

I am sorry about your chemical pregnancy.... very difficult to deal with the lost.

I am sure we will all get a healthy pregnancy soon😘

Hard to do but try not to test till your OTD .Keep busy read a book -watch old films or complete boxset on tv Rest when you can - eat healthy diet- drink plenty of fluids Take any meds you have been given as directed

Good luck for OTD

I totally understand you, the 2Ww has been the worst part of the treatment so far to me. I started testing at 4dp5dt and I have a beautiful progression line and still I was up all night upset and certain that it’s a chemical (I had one chemical and 3 MCs last year).

We just need to keep going and remember that there’s nothing we can do at this stage. I just had my bloods done and am feeling very nervous waiting for the results this afternoon.

Best luck to you! Try to stay relaxed if you can, for me testing repeatedly helps more than waiting but I know for some people this can cause more stress so I wouldn’t recommend it 😬

Best of luck for you!!!!! I am sure it is going to be a BFP!!😊

I can see that some of you are testing very frequently to see the progression. It is not something that I ever thought about doing, but today I am feeling very tempted.

I am not sure if I had a chemical a few months ago or if it was bad luck but i tested positive twice on 2 tests, but later it was negative. This why I am so unsure.

False positives are extremely rare, false negatives can happen if testing too early or urine is too diluted, fmu is more reliable for this reason.

What day are you today?

It's my 10th, not too long now🤞

If you get the confirmation of the positive, are you going to keep doing tests at home until your first doctors appointment? It is something I have thought about....but maybe it is too much

They already booked me in for another blood test on Saturday to compare with todays results. Then she said probably another blood on Tuesday then all being fine I’ll see the doctor for a scan.

I will probably still test every other day at home because for some reason it gives me a sense of control/security that of course is silly but works for me.

oh that’s a good start on the positive test!! For the one that worked for us my boobs weren’t sore (they were on both my chemicals) about 7weeks they started to feel a bit sore but never that bad so I was the same as you totally paranoid it wasn’t sticking around but now we have him so the boobs can defo differ from each one for defo. Good luck for test day lovely xx

I have read so many stories of women getting a positive test and suddenly their boobs have stopped hurting....... and they all went on to have beautiful healthy pregnancies!!! Of course the boobs started up again a few weeks later so dont worry, from what I understand its quite common 😊 its also common for us to just freak out at the smallest things during this time😂 but you are off to a fabulous start ❤️ sending you lots of baby dust ✨✨✨✨❤️
