i was due on my period 2 days ago so I’m 2 days late normally I’m spot on with my period tracker app and this month I haven’t had the usual symptoms of a period like discharge or nipples hurting and tummy pain I just don’t want to do the test for it to say negative so I’m holding it off!

I did a test the day my period was due and got a really faint positive. The next day I tested again and it was darker :)

I tested the day I missed my period and got a faint positive. I then did about a hundred more tests and even ordered them online as I got embarrassed going into my local shop so much! Good luck, 🤞

I tested 2 days before I was due and got my positive and then proceeded to do 25 more tests over a 3 week period to check I was right 😳😂 xx

I waited (somehow) just short of a week and got a strong reading straight away ☺️ x

Hi, I tested 2 days late and had a very faint line, so I ordered a early response test and it came up strong positive. Best of luck x

I started testing 3 days before period was due. I got a negative.

2 days before there was a really faint line that you’d have to squint to see. I took one in the AM and PM, both really faint

1 day before it was due, I took a clear blue digital. It was positive and said 1-2weeks pregnant

I took a final test when I was 2 days late, the Second line was really strong. Just as strong as the control line really

maybe I could try again later on in the week if my period still doesn’t arrive but this morning it said negative 😔

Hi Lauren def use the pink tests not the blue ones. The early response tests are the most sensitive. Good luck! 🤞🏼
