@Laul89 you could well be right, because I never got a peak this month, just 7 days of high. This is our first time ttc

Laul89 · 14/01/2023 16:09

@PeopleAreToads Sounds promising if it was only a tiny bit and no more since!! 🤞🏼 like I say maybe you ovulated late?!
Is this your first time ttc or do you have any other children?

PeopleAreToads · 14/01/2023 13:55

@Laul89 haven't tested, can't decide whether to get my hopes up. It was only a small amount of spotting and had no more since, so going to wait and see a few more days

Laul89 · 14/01/2023 13:50

@PeopleAreToads oh no 🥺 you’re not truly out until AF properly arrives. Maybe you ovulated late and it’s implantation? Therefore AF would be a little later. Have you tested? 🤞🏼

PeopleAreToads · 14/01/2023 12:00

@Laul89 feeling quite low today. Had some light spotting this morning, but feels too late for implantation bleeding but also way too early for AF and my cycle is really regular usually.

So feeling like it could be a chemical, but trying to see the brightside and think that whatever it is, it's a sign we can conceive

ttcat37 · 14/01/2023 10:11

@UKMummy2one I see something, especially the second picture. It looks grey rather than pink but def keep testing as I think they look pinker the stronger the line

ELJ1502 · 14/01/2023 10:03

8DPO and I’m getting quite a bit of brown discharge after DTD. Really hoping it’s implantation and not an early period. I’ve had a lot of nausea and cramping. I can’t even remember how I felt with Dd1

UKMummy2one · 14/01/2023 08:20

Oh this is just confusing me so so much now. I had the faintest line at 9DPO but looked like an indent unfortunately as BFN each day. Constant cramps, headaches and nausea each day and boobs were very sore and now seem ok just the odd niggle here and there. I remember them being SO sore with my daughter.

I had just accepted i was probably out as had a very low cervix last night and constant BFN and now 13DPO I think. I will need to start a new round of Letrozole BUT this mornings test I couldn’t see anything initially and then after 4 mins I saw a line.

can anyone see this? Is it another indent 😔

Well I'm well and truly out as of this morning :(

At least every month I don't get pregnant is an extra month to save for maternity and nursery fees 😂

Best of luck to everyone, hopefully I won't see many on the February thread!

@Babydust99 you asked me to come back and tell you when my peak was. Finally got a v dark positive OPK today... so only 4 days later than normal. Annoyingly my husband is now away for a couple of nights... we DTD last night though, so who knows. It only needs that one time 🤞🏻

Aww that's great, at least your in with a chance 😊 🤞🤞 I've had O pains and ewcm for 2 days now so think mine might actually happen earlier than normal

Laul89 · 13/01/2023 21:29

@PeopleAreToads our cycles must be pretty much identical! 😮

Yeah I think it’s for the best, I had a chemical in November our first cycle trying.. 3 positive tests then AF arrived bang on time. Promised myself after that I wouldn’t test early again despite how hard/tempting it is 😩

Keep me updated how you go! Fingers crossed ☺️🤞🏼✨

PeopleAreToads · 13/01/2023 20:28

@Laul89 I do track but tests were a bit wonky this month, but reckon I was the 4th January. So hard not to symptom spot, and don't want to test too early after the chemicals I've read about

Laul89 · 13/01/2023 20:24

@northernmam im not sure if I see something very very faint or whether I’m just imagining where the line would be 😩 fingers double crossed for you 🤞🏼✨

@PeopleAreToads most stuff I’ve read say that the earliest implantation can happen is 6DPO and then hcg takes 48hours after that to rise.. so symptoms could happen after that.. but not sure if that’s entirely true? Do you track ovulation? I don’t but my app predicted it was 4th Jan, however I think it was a bit earlier than that due to cramps I had. I wish we had a crystal ball! I woke up in the night last night for a wee and my boobs felt very tender, they’ve stayed like that on & off today especially the right one (?!) however I had that last month and AF arrived 2 days later 🥺

PeopleAreToads · 13/01/2023 20:00

@Laul89 I now also feel quite nauseous (especially when I'm hungry) and sore boobs but don't know if it's all in my head. I assume it's too early for any actual symptoms?

northernmam · 13/01/2023 19:12

I've just done this test, against my better judgement. I'm 7DPO which I know is ridiculously early, but can anyone see the very very faint line? It came up within the time frame. Definitely not testing again until next week now, but the wait was killing me.

Congratulations @Lal33

Af due on Wednesday so trying to resist the urge to test over the weekend!

I’m right there with you… AF anytime between Wednesday - Saturday for me as it fluctuates! So don’t want to get too excited on Weds/Thurs if she doesn’t arrive 😩🤦🏻‍♀️

Must. Hold. Out. Til. Next. Weekend 🤞🏼🤣

Ella31 · 13/01/2023 18:01

1dpo today. Hoping for my rainbow baby in the next two weeks

So now I don’t know what to think, I had vvv faint lines on frers mon and Tues, a vvv fl on an IC yesterday (Thurs) now I’ve just done a frer and got a definite line but probably still too faint for 13-14dpo considering I first saw a squinter 4 days ago so not recently implanted surely it should be darker by now?!

That recent one looks like a clear bfp to me!! If it helps to know, with my DS (now 15 months) I had a BFN at 14dpo and a BFP at 16dpo so everyone has a different timeline for these things. It can be really hard with all the anxiety to allow yourself to feel excited, I know, be kind to yourself. Do you have another test you can take tomorrow or the day after for reassurance? Fingers crossed for you it all works out well and congrats 🥳💐

Sb86 · 13/01/2023 16:12

@justwantobeamum I can't see anything on any of the tests apart from the most recent. I'd say that's a good starting line. I tested positive back in September at 14dpo with a line that looked similar and over the next few days it got stronger. Just give it a little time and fingers crossed it sticks, it's definitely got stronger from them previous if you can see them with the naked eye 🥰 congratulations.

Congratulations @Lal33 💕💕 happy healthy pregnancy to you!

This is my first month and I am patiently waiting on the 😊 on the ovulation test..the flo app said I was due to ovulate yesterday but nothing yet, the flo app for my AF is pretty accurate but not matching up with the testing, has that happened before?

ttcat37 · 13/01/2023 15:32

8dpo today for me and impatiently waiting. Getting a mild dull pain in my belly like I usually do before my period is due in a few days (Tuesday). My bbt is going crackers though, no clue what’s going on there 🤷🏼‍♀️ Any ideas?

Oh amazing! Same, they’ve sent my new prescription in the post so have to wait until 15DPO to be 100% not pregnant and then start provera and onto 5mg.

it worked first time with my daughter 🥰 I only produced the one follicle and she ended up being the most perfect miracle. Had a vvfaint bfp at 9do with her.

my progesterone blood suggested I hadn’t ovulated this time but they couldn’t be 100% sure as realised they may of done it a couple of days early 🤦🏻‍♀️

I conceived my daughter naturally but it seems having her has messed my body up a bit. I'm ovulating but not very well and with a short lutuel phase. The let defo sorted that tho. I ovulated at day 14 and was the strongest ovulatuon I've felt in about 4 years lol. Shame it didn't work but next month hopefully
