Hi everyone. I think im probably about 11dpo now and my temp has dropped so I think im out again! Was really hoping this month as we had tried so hard. Would you all agree with me that I’m heading towards AF with this chart. It’s my first month charting temp properly! AF due in about 3/4 days.

@Kezz301 haha tell me about it I’m glad we have this for us women as my husband is used to get sick of all the symptom spotting but does get upset bless him if a test turns out negative. I really think aswell you can’t have these conversations with men as only another women really truly understands what we go through with the emotional side of it. We are trying to have 4 babies but I also am lucky to have 2 already so if it doesn’t happen again I feel extremely lucky with the ones I have and I have 😊 this is your first time ttc are you using opks to track ovulation? Believe it or not it took 3 cycles before I fell pregnant with my first (conceived on a holiday to Bulgaria 2019 😂 sex sun and drunk all the time) second time we gave up trying as it just wasn’t happening dtd once that month in 2021 and fell pregnant with my son I feel stress plays apart with myself so trying not to get so stressed with the process but it’s harder said then done 😂

I am 35 so I am already feeling past my sell by date so I'm already worried I'm getting past it but that's me, always an over worrier 😅 I'm terrible for it so it'll definitely help being in a place where everyones going in tje same journey to share woth. I used the blueclear opks but I got flashing smilies for 9 days then I ran out so I didn't want to buy a new pack this cycle as they were annoying first thing on a morning 🤣

This cycle is driving me crazy tbh. 😂 Half of me is feeling negative and saying wait until AF as it's not happening this month. The other half is trying to convince me otherwise and I'm not sure if symptoms I'm having are normal to me or not, it's like that side of me has just blanked out all my usual pms symptoms. 😂

The date of ovulation changed on 1 of my apps (use 2 to get a rough date, know opks would just make me obsess) so I'm either 12 or 14 dpo. AF due Wednesday. DH doesn't want me testing until my period is days late as my cycle fluctuates with up to 5 days, but surely at 12/14 days things would be showing up?

Sorry, having a mini rant but know you all get it.

Congrats to everyone with BFP's though!!!! ⭐️

@Kezz301 hey ❤️ Try not be too disappointed yet 10dpo is still early :) but I no that feeling of disappointed that’s why we are all here to support each other through all the bfn and bfp ❤️ Xx

Thank you, I am telling myself it is still early and still in with a chance until af shows 🤞 I'm glad I joined up or I'd go nuts on my own 😅

Hi everyone, I'm 10dpo first cycle ttc baby no 1. Got a negative this morning, feeling disappointed.

MrsP20202 · 15/01/2024 09:58

@Demi55 hey babe congratulations! Yes spotting is very normal 🥰 for the fact test is getting darker is a good sign and everything progressing. With my daughter I didn’t spot at all but with my son I spotted at 15dpo (light pink) and again when I was 16 weeks (couple spots of bright red) and everything was normal and I have two healthy happy children at home 😊 so don’t let it worry you it’s very normal to spot, if you are concerned please don’t hesitate to book an appointment for your own piece of mind xxx

Demi55 · 15/01/2024 06:21

Hey everyone! Late last night I started to see some light pink spotting. I thought even though I had a positive result I was out. However; the line is darker today? Could it be implantation spotting? Has anyone else experienced this

Hi ladies Can I join? I’m 9dpo today and got a stark white negative again this morning. Feeling very defeated and feel like I might be out this month. Pretty sure with all my other babies I showed up early and got a faint positive by now. Got my hopes up so much this month 😢

RW269 · 14/01/2024 21:53

I’m due AF tomorrow but still a bfn, really trying to keep my hope going! 🤞

Gracie1825 · 14/01/2024 21:10

Congrats to all the positives🥰

I'm still in limbo 12 dpo and bfn but i don't generally get a positive until AF due which is 2 more days

RW269 · 14/01/2024 20:51

Congrats to you all getting your positives ! ✨

Bey · 14/01/2024 20:44

Puddingpie1234 · 14/01/2024 18:13

No this is my 2nd. My DD has not long turned 4🥰
mines were also faint, I think I’m 9DPO too so hoping to see darker tomorrow also xx

Demi55 · 14/01/2024 18:01

@Kofifi 🤞I hope so! It’s my first so I’m not getting my hopes up too much until it’s much darker! Congrats to you! I have just seen you have had your positive this month!

@Puddingpie1234 thank you! And congratulations! Is it your first? I will defo update tomorrow if it’s any darker. Got a digital on order so planning to do that later in the week if it continues to get darker on the cheap tests

Puddingpie1234 · 14/01/2024 17:58

Pleased to say I got a BFP today 🥹

Puddingpie1234 · 14/01/2024 17:57

@Demi55 I’d say that’s a very faint line! Fingers crossed for you, keep us posted tomorrow

Kofifi · 14/01/2024 17:43

@Demi55 i see a faint line which is what is expected around 9dpo! Hard to tell in the photo but if its a pinkish colour (not evap line) then i think its positive!

Demi55 · 14/01/2024 17:16

Hi Everyone, I’m a little late to the party as I really didn’t think we would get pregnant soon after coming off the pill in October (I’ve been on for about 16 years). I am currently between 8-9dpo and cycle day 26. Since coming off the pill I’ve had short cycles and should be due my period tomorrow but there isn’t any signs of her coming. I’ve tested yesterday and today and these are the tests. At the moment I’m not sure if they are shadows or not so I’m going to join the journey and hope to get a clear test in a few days. The left is yesterday and the right is today.

@mumto1girlie thank you and congratulations. I'm 4dpo no signs of anything yet.

iwasgonnasay · 14/01/2024 12:04

@MrsP20202 thanks for your reply and I agree on the app front I only use it for keeping track of when AF is due so when I noticed boobs I thought I'd check and Flo tells you your rough ov window which shows 31/12-05/01 with 5th being the most likely day - so I realised we'd picked a bad time to be reckless! But what will be will be - sometimes what you think is a problem becomes a blessing 🤞🏻 would like DS to have a sibling just needed our own house ideally but we'll find a way I'm sure
Thank you again for your reply and will update when I know more 👀
