Hey ladies,

Thought I would create a thread for those testing towards the end of Nov/early December.

I'm CD2, TTC first baby. On cycle 5.

fingers crossed for us all!

@Roxybabe thank you, im 9dpo. I've just tested again and the line is slightly darker this evening 🤞🏻

Roxybabe · 21/11/2022 16:50

@CreatingLittlePudding fingers crossed for you 🤞 what DPO are you?

currently 6/7 DPO. I’m usually an early tester but I refuse to torture myself this month. Think I’m going to just wait for AF, and if AF doesn’t show by 15/16 DPO then I’ll test. I had a really nasty indent last month and then my period arrived and I was gutted. I always think how nice it’d be to get a blazing positive and no guesswork!! BUT lets see if I can hold out!

how is everybody else doing? When are we all testing? Anyone just going to wait for AF?

hope you are all keeping sane!

@BebeYoda @Chrissy0 Thank you so much! I'm so relieved that other can see it too, I'm so paranoid about seeing lines because I want to. And good luck to you both too

Chrissy0 · 21/11/2022 10:45

That looks like a line to me @CreatingLittlePudding !

BebeYoda · 21/11/2022 10:36

@CreatingLittlePudding That looks like a faint line to me. Good luck ☺️

laurenandluke2017 · 21/11/2022 10:35

TTC second child, fingers crossed!

BebeYoda · 21/11/2022 10:35

Can I join you? ☺️ I'm only 2DPO but already obsessing 😅 This is the first month we've properly tried in quite a few months. I'm 41 now so I doubt we have much time left. Sending babydust to all 🤗

ChloeN · 21/11/2022 09:21

@CreatingLittlePudding i can defo see something, I tested with that one 8/9dpo and thought I saw something but thought it was wishful thinking, it was there and much darker by 9/10dpo

CreatingLittlePudding · 21/11/2022 09:11

@NarnieJoy thank you! I tested yesterday and it was clear bfn so thats why im confused as this one definitely has something there, way too faint to class it as a positive yet so I'll test again tomorrow 🤞🏻

NarnieJoy · 21/11/2022 09:05

@CreatingLittlePudding from my reading - indents are not that common at all. Even a faint line is a line. So a cautious congrats 🥳 as I can deffo see that line xx

CreatingLittlePudding · 21/11/2022 09:02

Tested this morning and got the faintest second line ever! I'm only 9dpo so it could be an indent, camera didn't really pick it up so I've put a filter on and you can just about see it if you look hard enough. Anyone know how common indent lines are on easy at home tests?

@Roxybabe its wild how much it completely takes over you! I am currently 6 DPO and been having wee niggles all weekend with shooting pains at the side and cramps. So hard not to symptom spot 😭.

Roxybabe · 21/11/2022 01:49

@Kittenmum89 i’m the same! I want it more then I thought!!

Thanks ladies! @Laul89 @Roxybabe @Chrissy0 hoping we all get a sticky bfp soon.

CreatingLittlePudding · 20/11/2022 22:34

Hi guys 8dpo today and started testing it was obviously a bfn but not counting myself out until af arrives and it's nice to be excited to test each day lol

Kittenmum89 · 20/11/2022 20:56

Hi, jumping on this thread. We are TTC our first
had my implant removed nearly 2 weeks now. Using the clear blue advanced digital. We DTD on day we had a static smiley and a few days before. I have everything crossed. I didn’t realise how much I wanted this until we started trying, is anyone else the same ? Baby dust to all ! Xx

Chrissy0 · 20/11/2022 20:50

Sorry @Saturnsmoon Fingers crossed for next month!

Roxybabe · 20/11/2022 17:23

@Saturnsmoon sorry to hear AF arrived hun! Fingers crossed for next cycle!

@OneHundredOtters yay! Glad you got your surge! 🤞

OP posts:
Laul89 · 20/11/2022 14:17

@BCxx yeah I totally get that. We will be straight back into trying once AF has stopped too! 🙈 I’m a bit of a control freak anyway and I think if I was testing using OPKs multiple times a day it would just stress me out! This is only our second proper month of trying so going to (try) take it easy and I know I have the option there in future if needed ☺️ hopefully the maca root works for you this month! 🤞🏼

@Saturnsmoon onwards and upwards 🥰 fingers crossed for next time🤞🏼

@OneHundredOtters aw thank you ❤️ that made me laugh about dragging your DH back to bed 🤣 who know this would all be so complicated eh! 🤣

OneHundredOtters · 20/11/2022 14:04

Hi all, I stepped away from this thread a bit as I didn't seem to be ovulating this month and I was finding it a bit tricky. It seems to have just been a bit delayed though as I think I've had a surge today. Had to drag DH back to bed!

I guess that means I should try and hold off testing a bit longer? AF is due 30th November but that would only be 8/9 dpo now.

@Laul89 sorry to hear it hasn't worked out this time Flowers

Fingers crossed for those still testing!

Saturnsmoon · 20/11/2022 11:05

AF just arrived for me - right on time and although I didn’t really have any reason to believe she wouldn’t as I haven’t had any symptoms still a bit disappointed. Anyway on to cycle 12 we go 😏

BCxx · 20/11/2022 09:14

@Laul89 yeah I think as much as opks are good to make you feel somehow in control, all it actually tells you is that you’re fertile at that time. I think it can be less stressful just to try every other day sometimes and probably also means you don’t think so much about what exact day you can start testing. I probably will do opks again this month but only because my ovulation has been so late and I’m taking maca root to bring it forward so hopefully it’s cd16 or earlier again this month. AF is now finished so will be back into trying again this week 😊

Laul89 · 20/11/2022 09:02

@BCxx yeah I spoke to him on Friday night when the spotting started.. obviously we are trying but I wanted it to be a nice surprise when I told him for definite if that makes sense. I’ve also spoken to my mam so I have good support around me 🥰

It’s really hard isn’t it, I was naive and didn’t know anything about chemicals until I started to try properly! I have read this online and hope it’s true.. we are going to see what happens this month, I’d said if I didn’t get pregnant this month I’d use OPKs from the end of my period but I’m not going to bother. Whatever we done this month obviously worked to some extent, my app must have predicted the fertile window correctly, so we will just go off that again. December is such a busy month anyway isn’t it!

How are you doing? 🥰

ChloeN · 20/11/2022 09:01

@Chrissy0 yes lol or I blink and then can’t see the line anymore 🤣 I have to chuck it so I stop tormenting myself

Chrissy0 · 20/11/2022 08:43

Morning! Does anyone else do a test, think they see the slightest hint of what could be a line (even if it's not) and then go waving it around at different angles under different lights to try to see it 🙈 I drive myself nuts!
