I took a test 5 days before my period was due it was negative I cried was in a bad mood made me had a fight with my husband then the day I was supposed get my period I kept having cramps but my period wouldn’t come so 6pm no period I took a test and it was positive 😅😅😅 now 20 weeks pregnant

[mrs.lavenderbsnrn]

I got my BFP at 9DPO! It showed up in about 30 seconds, very noticeable! Good luck to all with a blessed and viable pregnancy 🙏!
Edit: I also experienced ovulation spotting and implantation spotting for the first time, the cycle that I conceived.

[RevoStrawberry]

I just tested positive today at 11 DPO🎉. I wasn’t expecting it to be positive and so it was a really nice surprise. My fiancé and I have been watching your videos since we started trying and they’ve been super helpful 😊.

[FathimaMuhsina]

7 DPO - I'm definitely imagining this positive
8 DPO - Very faint positive
9 DPO - Faint positive
10 DPO - Positive
12 DPO - Dye stealer positive
14 DPO - Missed period & 441 HcG

I had mild cramping during 5-6 DPO and a wave of intense nausea at around 2 am on 8-9 DPO

6 days before I missed my period I felt like a needle was poking me on my right side of my uterus, it was such a distinct feeling, and I literally was like is that implantation? So that lead me to take a pregnancy test the day after and I got the faintest almost not visible line on a cheap test and that’s how I found out ☺️

[lovelybabbii]

I took mine 5 test at 2 weeks & went to the Dr & was confirmed I was 2 week 6 date didn't miss my period just felt off so you can take it pretty early my hcg level were only 75 that's enough to get a positive pregnancy test now I'm 16 weeks with a baby girl

[nathaliamonea]

Finally I found something that REALLY explain everything single detail. Thanks soo much for your explanations ❤

[MariaAnnaDorin]

This Was THEEE best explanation of this I have ever heard! Thank you so much!

[maya-muce]

this is exactly the video i needed right now! i found your channel yesterday when searching for answers to this exact question. what a coincidence!

[kiranarya]

Very straight and to the point information. Great channel !!

When my 3rd baby was 3 months old I woke up early super nauseous and ran to the bathroom. While throwing up all I could think was, “this feels exactly like my first trimester nausea”. So I took a test. Definitely positive. We were so excited! But all other tests were negative and my nausea faded away. So went to my dr and got hcg levels checked via blood draw. Waited for results and she said my hcg was so low (negative) it didn’t indicate any pregnancy, a chemical or anything. Still confused over a year later!

[JennStavropoulos]

First response early result pregnancy tests use to be the best ones by far but now most of them already have faint lines on them so they look positive when you test and it causes so much let down.

[stephaniemcfarlane]

In my TWW rn, needed this video! Thank you!!

[rageinebodie]

Here’s the best advice for anyone feeling paranoid, just wait it out .. wait for your missed period .. if it’s 7 days wait 7 days when you are expecting your period and also start tracking your period so you will be sure

[valerieriverav]

[aemondthefearless]

[belindajimenez]

[lisaozenich]

I'm lucky enough to have 2 beautiful healthy boys. I turn 30 in a few days and it's making me nervous about my fertility. We want one more baby, we would love if we could have a little girl. We are on our second month of trying. My first was a surprise, the second took over a year to get pregnant. I'm really hoping we get pregnant before I even get close to 31.
