5dpo today!

@Hannah4850 I have actually been measuring LH too.... I got a higher reading yesterday but slightly lower today... But still higher than my base levels so that's a good sign. My BBT is consistently staying high too which is good...

Why is this couple of weeks so agonising!!

Thank you @Hannah4850 !! It's so tricky and such a rollarcoaster... I go from one minute thinking 'oooo yay this is my BFP' to thinking 'no don't get excited, they're too faint and it's probably chemical...' - time will tell! Crossing my fingers...

Thanks for the support ladies - hope everyone else is doing OK

@GSD2024 ah OK that's really interesting and thanks for sharing, very interesting to see yours....

I'm not sure when I'll test again. I'd really like to say that I'll leave it for a couple of days as there's nothing I can do now to affect the outcome except sit tight, and all the testing and wondering is driving me a little crazy.... BUT I also know myself and I am a bit obsessive and addictive by nature! Plus I have got lots of tests in...

I will try and hold off for a couple of days I think... I will keep you posted!

Hope everyone else is doing good, hugs and baby dust to all

@LoulouM12 this was my 11 and 12DPO with my son, so you’re definitely not clutching at straws! It could be a number of factors.

when will you test again?

@GSD2024 - quite late at 11/12 DPO (app thinks 12 but could be 11 if ovulated a day later, as BBT took a few days to rise) - so I would expect lines to be much darker right?

Here's a question I can't seem to find an answer to - with my daughter (now 17 months) I tested negative on a Clear Blue digi early detection on the day my AF was due, thought well that's that then (wasn't really trying but was having unprotected sex), AF didn't arrive and I tested positive 3-4 days later... Never took any other tests as I was totally clueless then - easy uncomplicated pregnancy - could it be that my body is slow to produce HCG? Hence the late BFP... AND could the same thing be happening this time?

Honestly, I feel like this is me massively clutching at straws tho!! I think my lines are too faint this time sadly...

@LoulouM12 thats exactly home my FRER looked with my son! What DPO are you? I can definitely see the lines xx

I think I just have to sit tight and wait for AF to show up!!

How are you doing @JM1997 ? Any more bleeding?

Good luck with your scan @Elspeth1990

And a different test....

Hey ladies, feeling deflated.... really thought I'd get up and have a much clearer line today, but this is what I've got... visible but barely... do we reckon this is a chemical????

@JM1997 fingers crossed 🤞🤞

@Elspeth1990 good luck tomorrow lovely, will be thinking of you x

@Elspeth1990 thank you so much! Eeeek keeping everything crossed, good luck hunny! Let us know how it goes.

@JM1997 fc for you! My scan is tomorrow eve. So nervous as I MC at 8 weeks exactly two months ago and I'm 7w 5 tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to drag all day. I've been taking aspirin so that's all I can do.

@Elspeth1990 thank you!! Me and my partner have said if it doesn’t turn out to be a real period we will get tests tomorrow.
how are you doing lovely??

@JM1997 things are looking promising for you with those symptoms you have been having. I'd have to go out and get tests 🤣

Okay so ladies I have an update!! I have just looked and I have bled on the pad but it was also brown as well but a very light period which isn’t normal for me, I’ll check how the pad is before I go to bed and update you. But I don’t think I’ve started my period, it is just really weird!

@GSD2024 honestly I am trying so hard with this will power but it is so hard to not test, I think the only thing that is stopping me is I don’t have one in! I’ll keep you updated!

@LoulouM12 Keeping everything crossed for you.

Oh @JM1997 you have more will power than I do! How are you feeling this evening now work might have finished?

@LoulouM12 you definitely aren't going mad, the lines are definitely there.
Thank you hun, honestly it is awful the wait, I keep going to the loo as well, I have lost count the amount of times I have been for a wee! I went out to see a client earlier and I had to be careful how much water I had to drink as I was scared that during the session I would need the loo!!

Thanks girls! Just showed DH both tests from this morning and this afternoon... I honestly thought he was going to say I'm mad and he was like 'oh yeh they're definitely there!' - so it's not just me seeing things... Will wait and see what tomorrow brings...

@JM1997 poor you, the waiting is so annoying... As you said to me before nothing is TMI here!! See how you feel tomorrow... We are here!

@LoulouM12 I can definitely see it as well! I keep going back and forth with my decision as I do have really bad cramps. Normally this is TMI so apologies but I would have quite squitty poos and then my AF would just come through, but everytime I go to wipe it isn’t there, knowing my luck it will rear its head later. I have definitely got what feels like period pains though, but who knows. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for AF!
