When did you find out you were expecting?

mjolk · May 2016

How many DPO (days past ovulation) or weeks into your pregnancy?

Lecool · May 2016

I got my first positive test at 10DPO. I had negatives on 8 & 9DPO.

gonetothesea · May 2016

I got a very faint line on a Wondfo 8 DPO. Turned a digital positive on 9 DPO.

Vivi20 · May 2016

I don't know when I ovulated because I wasn't tracking anything. I got my first positive the day I was expecting my period.

nan814 · May 2016

No clue when I O'd since we weren't trying. I was using FF just track first day of each cycle, logged in to see when I should be expecting my period and realized I should have probably already had it. Found out at 5 weeks on the dot, based on LMP.

ChaoticWolf · May 2016

I had a super faint squinter at 9DPO and a slightly more definitive positive at 10DPO. The lines were pretty definitive on 11, 12, and 13 DPO. I didn't pop a digi until 13DPO.

cabu14 · May 2016

I got my first bfp on a wondfo at 11DPO I also turned a digital at night on this day too. I got negatives on both 9 & 10 DPO. But I might have tossed them too early as I almost threw away the wondfo on the morning of 11dpo.

kellybean1988 · May 2016

Hey y'all! I managed to hold out until 13dpo this past cycle and got a VERY clear 2nd line on a FRER and also turned a digi CB very quickly that morning.

ceclarlinetlo · May 2016

With my first pregnancy I got a squinter at 9dpo that was quite dark by 11dpo. With my second I waited longer to test and I got a very dark at 12dpo. This time I don't know for sure when I ovulated because I wasn't temping. I bought 6 dollar tree tests thinking I could watch them get darker if I were to be pregnant, and I wanted an obvious negative to compare for the really faint squinter so I started taking them 6 days after my last day of ewcm (which when I normally ovulate) Nothing popped up in the time frame like I expected but later that day I saw a faint line had appeared. I assumed it was an evaporation line so I took one the next morning at 7 days past ewcm and again nothing popped up in the time frame like I expected but when I got home there was a second line that was definitely darker than the day before. The next morning at 8 days after ewcm I got a line within 3 minutes and also turned a clear blue digital. Got a beta that same day that came back at 19. My guess is that I ovulated a little earlier than usual but it was still very early.

Edited to add: ultrasound dating confirmed I got my BFP on 8 dpo.

ThePax89 · May 2016

9 dpo on a wondfo, confirmed with a FRER.

With my daughter I had a negative FRER at 10 dpo.

canavara · May 2016

I had a stark white BFN at 8dpo on a 10miu IC and then a normal BFP on 11dpo with a FRER and a 25miu Wondfo. Positive with digital the next morning at 12dpo. The 10miu IC that day was still a real squinter despite the other two being dark, so I'll never know if that first 8dpo test was a false negative.

afayville · May 2016

10 dpo! I had been calculating my period wrong and kept testing and was getting a negative. I told my husband that this gave me more time to enjoy summer drinks on the deck and then BAM- a bfp!

mjolk · May 2016

Possible TMI, trigger warning, TL;DR.

At 12DPO on Wondfo I thought I saw a shadow. 15 DPO I took two Wondfo tests and still thought I saw a shadow. Later that day I got what I thought was my period, two days early. I then felt very mad at Wondfos and wondered how anyone could like them for showing all these phantom lines.

Fast forward to 26DPO and I'm still having off and on weird brown spotting with tissue I've never had before. I should also be getting fertile CM and all that jazz and wasn't. I told myself the day before not to test, that morning not to test, and finally I told myself I'm stupid but I'm gong to test anyway. Wondfo lines stronger than the test line!

At first I was very upset, thinking I probably miscarried, because of all the bleeding. And that is still a possibility. I'm just kind of amazed and confused. I bought a Clearblue Advanced test that put me at 2-3 weeks, so about 5 weeks, which would be accurate though. I just have to wait and see but I'm feeling more confident.

KimC85 · May 2016

Squinter on 11dpo and a believable positive on 12dpo.

emerald24-2 · May 2016

I held out and waited to see if my temps dropped. When they didn't, I tested at 14 DPO and got a strong BFP on a FRER.

cjs260 · May 2016

I turned a FRER positive at 7 dpo.

@Mjolk have you been to your doctor? I definitely think that your story warrants a trip to have betas drawn.

egilona · May 2016

I lost any semblance of patience and tested at 5 dpo - got a squinter; in retrospect, I think it may have been an indent line. BFNs followed at 6 dpo and 7 dpo, but I got a faint but definite BFP at 8 dpo. All my tests were FRERs.

therealfrizzle · May 2016

We weren't trying, so when I started getting weird "period" symptoms and no period, I tested with a digital read out. It said I was 2-3 weeks pregnant (though I was 4 weeks according to LMP).

Salilast326 · May 2016

I was already 4+5 when I tested. I'd had a couple long cycles so I didn't want to get my hopes up. I wasn't temping, just using FF to track my periods like @nan814

LoneStar21416 · May 2016

I tested on a Clear Blue weeks estimator at 15 DPO. I also used a Wondfo the same day for the heck of it.

Smiley-1980 · May 2016

I had a VERY faint line at 11 dpo and thought I just had a cheap crappy test with an evaporation line, line got a tiny tiny bit darker at 12 dpo but still not enough for me to really believe it.. then at 13 I had a line and thought "NO F-ING WAY!!" so I tested with a digital and got a "YES +"

TinaBelcher · May 2016

BFP at 7dp5dt, confirmed every effing day for a week after lol, and with betas at 10dp5dt

Megs7911 · May 2016

BFN at 8dpo. Squinter at 9dpo on blue dye. Second line on frer and YES on digi at 10dpo.

LittleMissTimeLord · May 2016

BFN at 9 DPO. Wondfo and FRER squinters with FMU 10 DPO, tested again that night (still 10 DPO) and got a clear line and a positive on a digital.

sarahmsoda · May 2016

I stopped temping due to PCOS and just my frustrations towards constants BFNs so I am not sure how many dpo I was but my cycles are usually 32-35 days so I tested day 36 and got an immediate bfp! I did a wondofo and then a clear blue and both were immediate. We weren't timing because we planned to start Clomid next cycle so its definitely a miracle baby!

Those pregnancy tests don't include the first two weeks that you aren't technically pregnant so 2-3 actually means 4-5 when you base it off of LMP.

I found out when DH informed me I was 2 weeks late and "was I going to start my period anytime soon or should we be worried?" I took a test a day or two after. I still have no idea how far along I am and when exactly my LMP was. DH says it was the last week of March. I'll find out in a little over a week I guess.

susykat77 · May 2016

I first tested at 5dp5dt and got a squinter on a Wondfo. Tested with a more sensitive test 10 mUI in the afternoon and got a faint line. Continued to test until beta. They all looked negative for the first 3 minutes. Lines were definitely darker once they dried.

AshleySparkle720 · May 2016

This time I got my bfp at 11dpo. I was determined not to test early

spano41 · May 2016

I'm embarrassed to admit that I took over 50 pregnancy tests after I got my IUD out.....yikes! They are the ones from China that are like 10c a piece. I never got a real period, so I would just take one or two every day after the first two weeks. I got a real squinter on what I thought was 12dpo, but now that I'm reading all of your answers maybe it was earlier. The Chinese tests were more sensitive than the dollar store ones which didn't turn positive until 14dpo. This is why I'm getting a dating scan!

Knlj · May 2016

Negative on 9 dpo. Didn't let myself test the next 2 days. 12 dpo my temps were still high so I tested. FRER was a faint positive. CB digital was negative. Dollar store tests were positive every day after that.

Nini422 · May 2016

I didn't really track my ovulation last month. I just looked to see when I was suppose to get AF on my Ovia app and when I was 5 days late I tested. I was 4w2d going by LMP when I got my BFP last Sat.

Mylitta · May 2016

Mine was at 16dpo... but I don't really test and I normally have a 14 day lp. I tested the day after FF said I would get my period. Very dark very fast, at 4w2d.

AliciaGoose · May 2016

I got a positive on a dollar store cheapie the morning of 9dpo but was skeptical because the FRER looked negative. I came home that afternoon and took another FRER and that time I saw a line. I popped a CB digital and an FRER digital the next morning at 10dpo.

JennaLee1486 · May 2016

@mjolk have you had your hormones tested? I had low progesterone with my first pregnancy which caused a ton of spotting. I also have low progesterone with this pregnancy, but only had 1 day of spotting

JennaLee1486 · May 2016

I was about 6 weeks pregnant when I found out. I only had 2 periods since I had my son because I'm nursing still. The first 2 were 37 days apart so I waited until after that point to test!

Renee1105 · May 2016

11 DPO on a cheapie and a digital.

sarah1198 · May 2016

I got a light positive on FRER 13dpo, so excited! Now I'm 6+1

Emma61210 · May 2016

We weren't technically trying (we had been told last August IVF was our only option) so I have no idea when I O'd. Took a test and based on LMS I was 4 weeks and 3 days

_orchid_ · May 2016

Got my first positive on a wondfo in the middle of the day on 8dpo- I couldn't believe it was so early! Turned a digital the next morning (and every day for the next 5 days lol)

@mjolk did you call your dr? I've had brown spotting / red bleeding for the past 2.5 weeks and my dr has been checking progesterone and my betas. Even if things don't work out it's good for your dr's office to be aware what is happening so that they can monitor you for any subsequent pregnancies. I didn't call my doctor when I was spotting with my first pregnancy (which I lost) and I really regretted it, but my doctor was super proactive about checking my levels and seeing me early with my next pregnancy. Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious for us both!

mjolk · May 2016

Thanks for replies. I made an appt. at an ob but they won't see me for weeks. So I ended up going to Urgent Care. They didn't have ultrasound equipment, and didn't mention progesterone. I got a blood test and will go back for another to see if my levels are going up or down. It wasn't a great place to go but I'm glad I will get some kind of answer in a week or so.

I've stopped spotting and feel sick to my stomach, so I'm hoping that is a good sign!

Briala · May 2016

I got a faint line on 5/12 late at night, then the next morning I got a squinter. I took another test on 5/15 on a digital and week estimator and got a positive 1-2 weeks. On Monday I started my blood draws and got the official word that I was pregnant.

@mjolk good on you to take another route to get answers when your dr. wouldn't, hopefully they check your progesterone levels in the test, it is crucial to a healthy pregnancy.
