I woke with bigger painful veiny boobs and had a moment of hope. I tested on a first response and got a negative. It’s 12 days post ovulation. My official test day is Thursday and I know it’s not negative until it’s negative on Thursday but I’m still feeling sad. I then told my mum looking for support and she shouted at me for testing early. And even though I’m 34 years old and was making a decision about my own body that does not negatively effect her therefore I rationally know she had no right to speak to me like that, her words have still upset me, which just pisses me off. We’re close. Our relationship is generally good, and in many ways she’s really supportive. But on the other hand she does have a habit of behaving inappropriately intermittently, with different members of the family. You never know quite what is going to be the thing that sets her off and it hadn’t occurred to me that this would be one of the things. I guess you live and learn. And now I know to just keep her at arms length with any future treatments.
Maybe - I know it’s tough, but just hang in there. When are you meant to be testing? I think false positives are generally rare. I’d go with feeling hopeful if there’s something faint there. You’re official test day will take just as long to get here and feeling hopeful during that time will be a much better feeling. You could always try a different test if you want to test again?
