@Whisperdoodle1 could be the start of a faint positive? Could you take a picture and invert it for a clearer view?

@Familyfirst12 hi! Hopefully this is the one

I just did an early detection test and defo BFN so trying to forget about it

You can see it without inverting but I'm thinking it's an evap :/

@pontipinemum oh 7/8 dpo would be great. I'll be 7 dpo on Friday - I've already started testing obviously even though I know it's insane - I LOVE to test 🫣
So sorry to hear about the twin ❤️
Ovulation symptoms I had really bad cramping and ewcm (still getting on and off 🤔)

Interestingly when I got the 1-2 week positive test with last pregnancy I had a line on the lh test - photo below (was the same day). Not dark but still there

Joining you guys here! I’m on a couple of other threads but just starting the TWW so figured I could use all the distraction😂

Whisperdoodle1 · 29/11/2023 12:00

Hi ladies, I'm also in the dreaded TWW. Cycle number 5 and had chemical back in August. Not actually sure exactly when I ovulated this month as wasn't good at keeping up with the OPKs I'm 8DPO the predicted ovulation day.
I had a bit of a squinter on E@H this morning but unsure if just evap. Also one on the early boots but that is very faint and I've had some terrible evaps on those too!
I have my fingers crossed for you all this cycle xxx

pontipinemum · 29/11/2023 11:51

@Bugs22mk if it's been 10 days since your peak I'd be doing a test, but I am a test fiend so can't be trusted near tests!! Mine just arrived and I did one 'in case I ovulated early' of course it's a BFN at 3DPO 😂

Bugs22mk · 29/11/2023 10:39

@pontipinemum my periods have been very irregular since coming off the pill so I don’t really know. But I had a strong 1.75 LH around 10 days ago plus sharp pains and a rise in BBT the days following so hoping that’s a good sign for ovulation and AF should be due next week.
we haven’t been TTC all that long so I should just stop stressing but my DH did an at home sperm test (for reassurance but stupid in hindsight) and it came back abnormal so it’s playing on both our minds.

pontipinemum · 29/11/2023 10:11

@Bugs22mk with 1 of my pregnancies I found out through OPKs. My periods were really erratic at the time and I had loads of positive OPKs, did a pregnancy test and got a BFP. At 9DPO you are allowed to still have a lot of hope! When is your period due? The easy at home pregnancy tests picked up pregnancy for me at 7/8DPO last time and the CB early digital picked it up on 10DPO I think it was

Bugs22mk · 29/11/2023 10:07

@pontipinemum Your GP sounds amazing. Wish mine was like that haha.
Do LH tests work for detecting pregnancy early?
I am now 9DPO and did one yesterday and the day before and was barely detected on LH strips but wasn’t sure if it’s accurate or if just negative.
tempted to take an early detection pregnancy test today as finding it hard to wait. I’m pretty sure it’s not happened this time but that little bit of hope is such a killer.

pontipinemum · 29/11/2023 09:13

@NLmum4 She is great, my mam lives 2 hours away and has to wait over a week some times for a GP appointment, mine phones to check in with me!

I did LH testing for longer last time just to see. I might do one this afternoon I have a few left. Friday I'll only be 5DPO, what will you be?

I will test around 7/8 DPO I got a BFP at that the last time. With DS I had blazing BFPs but he was a twin. The second one never had a heart beat and 'vanished'

I'm not really sure what any of the symptoms are, it's probably too early for you to have period pain so maybe it's implantation?

Did you have any ovulation signs? I didn't this time last time I had EWCM and ovulation bleeding, nothing this time. But my LH went to 1.44 which is the highest I've ever had

NLmum4 · 28/11/2023 20:55

Ah that's a lovely gp. Yes I can imagine the epu would be a terrible trigger.
I recall reading or hearing somewhere more fertile cycle after mc. Crossing fingers for u 🤞🤞🤞
I'm doing the lh everyday still as never done that before - actually twice a day- just to check
I'm like u - I'm not best at doing temperature but will keep trying 🤔
Still having on and off period style cramps and now lower back ache

We should enjoy the testing 😁 so Friday you will be 8/9 dpo? I have heard of positives then. I'm hoping for an early bfp and it being twins 😁 I can hope 😉

OP posts:
pontipinemum · 28/11/2023 20:37

@NLmum4 thanks, I went to the GP to have blood drawn to take to EPU to confirm the MC, they took more blood at EPU (I live in rural Ireland things are different here!). But my GP phoned me to see how I got on and she said next time I get a BFP to come in for bloods, and she will re-do them a few days later so I'll be doing that this time. I hate going to EPU. We won the GP lottery here.

Anyway, yes I am a fiend for testing. I nearly did an OPK this afternoon but the LH was so low yesterday there really was no point

How do you find doing the temp? I tried when TTC no1 but kept forgetting so gave up! I have cheap tests arriving on Friday I will probably start testing at 8DPO

NLmum4 · 28/11/2023 17:25

@pontipinemum hello . So sorry to hear that. Sounds rough.
I'm just tad ahead and 4/5 dpo and using the same app. Says to test 6 dec. I love testing so will be doing it before . Tests are my guilty pleasure 🫣😁

OP posts:
NLmum4 · 28/11/2023 17:21

@Bugs22mk yes 4/5 dpo. Maybe or just hormones :)

OP posts:
pontipinemum · 28/11/2023 12:18

@NLmum4 hello! I promised I wouldn't go onto these threads this time but here I am 2 DPO and itching to test 😂

I had an early miscarriage at the start of the month which hit me harder than I thought it would at such an early stage. But I had 3 MCs before having DS and I thought when I saw the positive test that surely this would stick I had, had my share. Although if I am honest I think I did suspect because the lines were not getting darker even after I missed my period I just didn't want to believe it.

Anyway we DTD a good bit last week including Peak day, and it was a high peak (I use easy at home on the premom app) and on ovulation day so hopefully it will be enough.

I'm feeling quite sick today, but I think it's a cold coming on. There is no way I have symptoms at 2DPO!

The premom app is saying to test on 8th December, no way will I wait that long!!

Bugs22mk · 28/11/2023 11:56

@NLmum4 ah ok, so varied the symptoms you can have! so hard not question every slight feeling, although realistically I haven't had anything that's out of the ordinary.

Hmmmm how many DPO are you now? 4? too early for it to be AF arriving? Maybe the cramps are a good sign?

NLmum4 · 28/11/2023 08:50

I'm having period cramps. Very odd .

And with the 2nd right at the beginning before I knew it drank half glass of wine and puked it up - that might of been coincidence but was first hint that cycle
