Tests!

I had 2 miscarriages in 2021, a baby boy in 2022 (he’s 2 years old now) and another miscarriage in January of this year. We have been TTC since last June and found out last week we’re pregnant. So excited and have been referred for an early scan because of our history but it isn’t until the 4th! I’ll be around 6/7 weeks then. I have been non stop testing which I know isn’t great for my anxiety but the cheap strip tests just aren’t progressing at all but got a strong positive on a clearblue this morning. Just looking for some reassurance I think. I’ve been feeling a little nauseous and having some mild cramping too, just want this baby to stick so badly 🥰

My tests looked like this yesterday and i'm about 4 weeks 5 days i had a better line on the boots 6day this am where my test line was darker z

My tests all varied. Some were faint, but my clearblue tests were this clear. I am 24 weeks tomorrow ☺️ xx

@Allyce I’d been doing the little cheap strip tests but the test line hasn’t gotten any darker really so did one of these for some reassurance. I always thought the red dyes were better but this one was much stronger xx

@Becca yes i have been doing this easy at home and tbh found them a bit naff? whereas the boots red dye was much better x

@Allyce your boots ones look so good! It’s so hard isn’t it when you’re really anxious about previous losses, my strip tests are a little darker than at first but they just don’t seem strong enough at all 😅 so glad I did the clear blue! Xx

@Allyce they still have a great progression though, it’s so frustrating isn’t it when you just want everything to be okay xx

@Becca they didn't at the start - they are better now. yes it's so hard and it's also so hard because everyone's pregnancy and tests will be different? but i just can't help but to compare etc. My pregnancy i miscarried on i literally took two tests and that was it 😂 x

@Allyce I think I’m going to try my best not to test now until the weekend maybe and I’ll just do a digital so I’m not worrying about the lines. I have an early NHS scan in 12 days, by my last period I’ll be around 6 1/2 weeks so fingers crossed everything is okay 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Becca how did you get your early scan? i am tempted to ring epu and see if i would be eligible for one x

I'd try to hold off anymore testing, as all this will do is fuel your anxiety even more. The 4th really isn't that far away! Plus, testing any sooner would make seeing anything more difficult
