It's interesting how different people's bodies react during the first couple of weeks of pregnancy. I tested one day after my missed period and I got three positives clear as day!
Was using the Period Tracker Deluxe app to help me track ovulation and periods. I tested on Halloween which was 2 days after I missed my period so I think around 14-15 days after ovulation. These HPTs came in a box of Ovulation Kits that I bought thru Amazon. I initially took 5 tests! This one I just took today 11/19. Note the 2 distinct lines!
I tested Monday, BFN. Tested again yesterday afternoon (13 DPO) and didn't see anything after looking for about 30 seconds. Threw it out and went on with my day. I looked again last night and saw a faint line. I figured it was just an evap line, tested 3 more times and got nothing. I drink a ton of water so I figure I would re-test this morning with FMU. Got 2 BFP, one FRER and one digital. Crazy how some BFP are clear as day at 9 or 10 DPO and some are super faint at 14 DPO.
Took 2 Nov 10th evening one plus sign and one "pregnant 1-2". Took the third the following morning Nov 11th and got "pregnant 2-3". 1-2 and 2-3 since ovulation. Conceived Oct 24th.
I tested when I was 2 days late and got a negative. I only tested because I'm very irregular, not because I was expecting a positive. 5 days later I was experiencing very sore breasts and still hadnt started yet so I took a test before work, again expecting it to be negative. I was shocked when I saw the + sign! I bough another test and took it when I got off work! I saw two lines! A few days later I was feeling anxious and took another (the very bottom one.)
Believe it or not, this super faint line is actually a positive! I took line tests throughout the first few weeks to track the strength of the line. I was about 8 days pregnant at this point!
Of course, here's a surefire way to know, but digital tests only pick up on higher levels of hCG. The average line tests looks for 5mg or 5+mg, but this particular digital only picks up 25mg+ so you can be certain you are. This was at 3 weeks pregnant.
I was late 1 week and decided to test... I used a test from the dollar tree and it popped up within seconds that I was pregnant...I was in shock as we were not trying...my children will be 14 years apart!
I tested 2 days after my period was due & recieved the first two results. I tested two days later & recieved the third test result. Im 5 weeks now. I bought these test from dollar general.
So, I'm crazy and figured I'd start torturing myself by testing early (beta is Sunday morning). I tested last night around 5:00 and got a REALLY REALLY faint line after the 2 minute wait. So faint I thought it might possibly be a shadow. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and thought "let's do another!" So I did another of the same brand (same box) and there was a definite faint line; darker than the 5 pm. At 6:30 this morning I did another, different brand, and there was a definite faint 2nd line. I'm 5dp5dt and 13 days past 10,000 Novarel trigger. I'm worried it could still be the trigger (I didn't test it out) but if it was, would the 2:30 am be darker than the 5 pm (same brand)? I know, I'm insane. Thanks for listening to me rant. Off to buy more tests.....
I don't remember which kind I used, but I walked over to my husband with wat I thought was a negative test & he got to tell me I was pregnant, confusing test but the result was hilarious, he's still laughing at me for that one, it was the lighter blue line that confused me, I must have had the same kind as mom that lifts
I've taken two more since then, and each is darker than the last. The one I took yesterday showed up before the pee had even made it over to the control line. By my calculations, I'm about 5 weeks. ^_^
The single test was my first at 3 weeks, the next was 3+2 pink in the am, first pee & blue was around 3:45 in the afternoon. The last was a 97¢ test that turned positive immediately the day of my missed period.
I was 10 dpo when I took a test, ok I took like 7 lol all of them had the faintest of lines, I even had to look at a couple in just the right light, but it was there. I used different brands, the cheap walmart one, clear blue and first response. The pictures were all taken the same day lol we had to make sure before we got excited ☺
Woke up today, this was my first month trying and I took 1 test. It came back positive. I thought it was a joke and took 2 more, all positive. I am still in disbelief and called to make an appointment with the doctor. All of those pregnancy boards talking about miscarriages after mirena have me scared. But my fingers are crossed. I am assume 3 tests dont lie! But, I have always heard that pregnancy the first month after mirena is sketchy. Pray for me!
Just got my positive test this morning! By my approximate calculations I'm about 10DP), the line was super faint but a line is a line! Going to re-test in the morning
@simplysmith09 I have had the same concerns about Mirena on my mind! I got my BFP yesterday (1 Wandfo, 1 FRER), blood test today to confirm (still waiting on the call from the doc, probably not til Monday morning). I got my Mirena out in November so hopefully this little bean implants ok and stays there!
Sending healthy, full-term vibes to you, too!
