My experience with testing too early!

Kelly • Mommy of 6, should we make it 7?!?!

I started testing at 8dpo and then 9 and 10. All BFN. I was extremely disappointed even though I knew it was probably too early to get accurate results, I just couldn't help it. I picked up these CVS brand tests( screenshot of post pictured above) at 11dpo and posted a poll. The majority of votes were for vvvvfl but the comments I received about blue dye tests made me think this was an evap line and I cried thinking I was completly out even though as everyone says your not out until AF shows. I did myself a favor and didnt test at 12dpo sense I could feel AF symptoms coming on fast, extreme cramps, oily skin and hair, crabby, bloating, the whole shebang. I was up last night with insomnia and terrible cramps and expected to find myself bleeding this morning as AF is due tomorrow but nothing, just pain. ALOT of pain. I decided to take another test this morning(cvs) and the same faint line showed up, this time a little faster and maybe just a smidge darker. I had once last First Response pink dye test left and figured I might as well confirm BFN so I could mentally prep for tomorrow and to my surprise I got that second pink line almost immediately. Its light but its there!!! I'm in shock right now. I had myself SOOO sad and convinced due to all the early testing and PMS symptoms that I was out. Ladies I just want to say, as hard as it is to wait try to not test as early as I did. If I had just managed to find patience I would have spared myself 4 days of heartache! It's TRUE that PMS symptoms are identical to early pregnancy and your not out till AF shows! You just dont know. Dont give up hope if you do test early, also maybe blue dye tests dont suck as much as everyone says as long as you read within the proper time frame...?

I'm honestly still skeptical and dont think I'll believe it until the next few days pass with no period and more positive tests but it looks to me like I finally got a BFP! Wishing you all love and lots of baby dust in your TTC journey❤❤❤
