Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Not sure if these are going to show up on camera but I'm definitely seeing lines here!

I'm quote proud of myself, usually have no self control and would be testing daily from around 8dpo and just get disappointed. Now 10dpo but when I've woken up overnight (needing to pee more than normal) I was incredibly thirsty so downed a load of squash. Which I knew meant when I actually woke up my brain would decide there was no point in testing. πŸ€£πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Don't you just love how brains work.

Congratulations @Sineadf91 and @Hankthehonk! Wishing you both a healthy pregnancy❀️

LuckyYou13 · 11/02/2023 07:05

So happy for you @Hankthehonk a definite line! Congratulations!

Fingers crossed for a clearer line for you in the coming days @Jealousofchiliheeler very exciting.

I'm 6dpo today and hoping for some signs if implantation in the next couple days 🀞🏻

Jealousofchiliheeler · 11/02/2023 06:58

@Hankthehonk OMG that's amazing! Congratulations, very happy for you, the boobs clearly never lie!!!

Hankthehonk · 11/02/2023 06:33

@Jealousofchiliheeler and that's very exciting you're seeing something this morning πŸŒ„ definitely get a frer and try again

Hankthehonk · 11/02/2023 06:15

@Jealousofchiliheeler I'm also up early but with nausea and the desire to test. Bizarrely my toddler is peacefully sleeping (not for long!)
Just did a frer and there's no squinting required this morning... feeling excited and in disbelief. Still a very long way to go I know but I'm super happy in this moment

Congratulations @Sineadf91 what a great line!

There's definitely something there @Hankthehonk hope it's clearer this morning!

I've been up super early this morning to test - very hard to get 3 minutes to wait to read a result with a 4 year old in the background saying " Mummmmmyyyy, I want to go downstairs, come on, let's go, what are you looking at?!"
Anyway, I think there's something as opposed to nothing yesterday but still not brave enough to share, and not a FRER, only have one of those, ordering more!

Hankthehonk · 10/02/2023 21:46

@Sineadf91 Thank you that's so encouraging to see! I also have faint lines on two cheapies which makes me more confident this isn't an evap or something, but obviously it's clearest on the frer. I'm probably going to test each morning 😐well done holding out for 3 days between tests!

Sineadf91 · 10/02/2023 21:42

Hankthehonk · 10/02/2023 20:33

OK I'm going to get over my embarrassment sharing such a faint line because I'm keen to know if anyone else can see this line - my DH and I can. It looks more obvious to my naked eye than in photos. Making myself dizzy squinting at it.
8dpo, Frer in the morning but not fmu

My line was exactly the same at 8dpo. This is a pic of my lines today at 11 dpo. Definitely take another test in a few days! Congratulations!!

@chezvic Thank you!! It's so reassuring that others can see it too, hard to trust your eyes when you want to see it so badly

Hankthehonk · 10/02/2023 21:18

@ukMummyof1 Thank you!! Yes, I'll definitely do another frer first thing tomorrow...only got one left so I'll probably buy more tomorrow to keep checking each day for line progression. I've also had sore boobs, fatigue and some nausea in the morning today all of which were the same symptoms in my first pregnancy

chezvic · 10/02/2023 21:17

@Hankthehonk I can definitely see it and I'm the absolute worst at seeing lines when people post! Congratulations 🎊 Try again tomorrow and look for progression 😁

ukMummyof1 · 10/02/2023 21:16

@Hankthehonk I see it! Hopefully it gets darker, are you going to test again tomorrow? Xx

@Sineadf91 congratulations 🎊 so exciting! thats a great line πŸ˜ƒ

Think I'm out for October - period type cramps all day and just had some spotting. Way early again by about 5-7 days, last two months have been all over the place - typical when I'm TTC as normally I'm very regular!
Anyway bday on Sunday and All Inc holiday the week after so at least I can enjoy a wine or two 🍷

Hankthehonk · 10/02/2023 18:48

@Sineadf91 Congratulations!! Amazing strong line

JD90 · 10/02/2023 18:41

@Sineadf91 that's amazing news, congratulations!

ThomasinaLivesHere · 10/02/2023 18:37

@Sineadf91 congrats!

Sineadf91 · 10/02/2023 18:15

Evebing everyone!

After getting a vvv faint line, I had to squint & hold it at a certain light to see, at 8 dpo. I've done another FRER today at 11 dpo & there's no denying it πŸ₯°

Just can't believe it. My youngest is 6 next Sunday & I'm praying to God that this pregnancy is different, as hers was horrendous πŸ˜–

I wish each & everyone of you all the best for the future & hope you get your BFP's soon 🀞🏼 hopefully I'll see you in the due Oct 23 group.

I'm actually sick of examining my cheapies and seeing lines but then not seeing them a min later. Gonna try and be revolutionary and not test until Tuesday when AF is due. If I get a solid-ish line then I'll buy a digital and surprise DH, I think he's sick of me shoving cheapies in his face when he can't see my imaginary lines. πŸ™ˆ Anyone with me? No more daily cheapie testing? πŸ˜‚

Hummusanddipdip · 10/02/2023 16:57

How's your tww going? Hopefully less teary. X

Sorry posted too soon

Hummusanddipdip · 10/02/2023 16:56

@Natty83 OK thank you, I think I'm 5 or 6dpo, 6 according to app, 5 going but the opks. Had a few sharp pains in the lower left side earlier today, so clearly I'm overly paying attention to my body 🀣

I had a cry at work today as another (we've now got 3 members of staff pregnant) of my colleagues is pregnant, I don't begrudge her at all, but I am jealous. I was all happy and smiley in her class, and held it together, because I am genuinely happy for her, but as soon as I walked into my class I broke down.
It sucks and it hurts and if one more person tells me to stop stressing about it I will punch them (figuratively) because I know how long it takes, it took 3 years to get my dc, I didn't want it to take 3 years again πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

2021lady · 10/02/2023 16:51

12dpo today and still testing negative so fairly certain I'm out. If my some miracle af doesn't arrive on Monday I'll test again

JD90 · 10/02/2023 15:52

@Natty83 I meant to tag you in the above post but clearly my brain function is lacking...
