Anyone else in their fertile window?

This looks very positive to me! Pre the last few months I’d be saying it’s definitively the start of something, but after having so many evaps myself, I’m more wary, but it’s definitively promising!

My first two have the same birthday. It honestly isn't a massive deal in reality and would be the same if you ended up having twins anyway. Also, even if the due date is the same, the due window is 5 weeks (37-42 weeks), so they could have birthdays separated by a few weeks in any case.

It's 9dpo for me today which was the day I told myself (and all of you 😅) I would start testing, so naturally I tested last night 🤣 negative yesterday and today, but historically I have had vvvvvfl on 10dpo. So 9dpo was always meant to be my control to compare the next few days tests against. Just got caught up in the excitement of this thread to jump the gun and test last night 🥰

Ohhh what test brand did you use??

I thought I saw a shadow in the time frame and then maybe… 40 minutes later? I’ve goggles it, of course, and have found quite a few people saying that they develop bad evaps after the time frame.

Assuming I am out this month, I really don’t know what to do for the next three cycles. We were going to skip next month as the due date with be my sons birthday, I’m normally early though, but my daughters birthday is 12 days before my sons, so we’d have three birthdays in 12 days probably! But I’ve just realised that over the next three months…

feb - due date my sons birthday
mar - would make me 8 weeks when I have to attend a big important work conference 6 hours drive away, I get HG and if it’s like there last two times would be bedridden by then and absolutely have to cancel.
apr - just realised that my fertile window will fall exactly over the 5 days my partner is away 😭

So if I were being sensible we wouldn’t ttc again until May’s cycle……. But that feels awful! I’m now wondering if I just got f it and ttc the next two months and what will be will be.

@Applesandcake - ok well we dtd last night and there was blood but then nothing overnight im so confused 😐 i have done another test (it’s still developing) if nothing I will just keep testing until AF arrives or doesn’t arrive

I’ve now got a horrid evap on the boots early test! Outside of the time frame so I’m entirely disregarding it but how cruel are these tests?! With my first 2 children all tests were either stark white (even after the timeframe) or even the faintest line turned into pregnancies, but the past two months I’ve had so many evaps! Have tests just become more rubbish!?!

Looks like mine yesterday was a nasty evap line :( tests today are negative. I did a couple and if I absolutely make myself I can see shadows on them but my experience of testing this time around is that loads of tests now have a shadow. 8dpo.

The next two days are big ones but I’m not feeling it. Symptoms all gone just feel like I always do at this time of the month.

It takes a few days for hgc to build up in your system so you’ll test negative in all likelihood if you only implanted yesterday.

@Bb542 - well I’ve had nothing else blood wise just CM … so literally no idea now 🤷‍♀️ - I will do another test in the morning as if it was implantation it should in theory give me a positive. Will keep you posted. And urgh hate indents! Hopefully you will get a BFP soon :)

@Applesandcake - well not exactly sure of when ovulation happened - I want to say around Tue/Wed last week - so I’d be about 10dpo. At the moment just light pink when I wipe… just seems odd if I’m on now as cycle is usually spot on to 29/30 days this would be very short at 24 days. (Although stress could be a factor)

You really never know. Loads of apparent symptoms can mean nothing and no symptoms can result in something.

Not testing is so hard. I’ll be testing tomorrow and will be thinking of us both! It would be amazing if we both got a bfp, but if we don’t, we’re only on cycle 2! Still very early.

How many dpo are you? If you’re not due until next Friday it could well be implantation. Depends how much blood?

Okk so bfn this morning and now I’m bleeding when wipe but I’m not due on till next Friday !! Is this likely to be implantation bleeding or my period just a week early. My cycle is usually regular (29/30 days give or take) …..

It definitely was in the time line as when I first saw the test I thought “omg!” As I saw it straight away but then after a second it seemed to disappear. It entirely depends on the angle. I’m feeling very sceptical after getting three evaps last month (on different tests though), but a tiny bit of hope is there.

I don’t think I’ll test today again, but obviously will properly tomorrow with more expansive tests also! Agh. This is the reason not to test early!!

How are feeling??

It’s soooo light in person though. I’ve caught i on camera at the angle it shows up as but in person some angles it’s totally white.

Was it you who said they don’t like easy at home tests? I’ve not used them before.

@Applesandcake I see it! And the fact it was in the timeframe is a good sign!

So! I’m sure this will be an evap but I could another test this afternoon (I known I’m ridiculous). 7dpo. I can see the tiniest shadow… I’ve heard people get shadows on easy at home test so I’m certainly not reading into it at all, but I saw it within the time frame and now am scared I’ll be extra disappointed if it’s negative tomorrow!
