TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

@Lou0811 I hope you get it figured out what's wrong and press for all the tests needed!

@DaisyEM I know that feeling about yoga! I always debate if I should go to the gym and classes during TWW, and what if abs exercises mess up with implantation etc etc! Making myself sick worried on what I can and cannot do to not ruin our chances. That said, think yoga is considered safe, definitely that early, and can have a positive effect even! 🧘‍♀️

Morning all,

just catching up.

ive been quiet as im feeling a bit knocked back! I’m over a month late for my AF (last period was 22nd May and finished the next day) - FRER taken on Saturday and negative.

FSH bloods taken yesterday so waiting on results x

@lavafield i keep feeling so sure it’s there, and then I come back to it and I can’t find it 😂 no I haven’t got any 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was hoping to not spend a fortune on tests this time and just use cheap ones! I have an out of date digital (😅), but that test was with FMU which I threw away. Now I have the tricky situation of whether to go to my yoga class or not tonight, as you’re meant to do ‘pregnancy safe’ yoga, but it’s possibly too early for that anyway/I wouldn’t be happy to actual think I might be pregnant until past period due date/stronger lines.

@DaisyEM I can see a super faint line from today!! 💫 did you try with frer too?

This was the test with my son at 9DPO. To me they both have the same hardly visible line. Anyway, like I said above, I didn’t think much of the shadow line last time, and I feel the same now. Will test again tomorrow!

Ok so I’ve just gone back and looked at my test from this morning (bad idea I know), and I think I can see a suuuuper faint shadow of a line. This is what happened when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I got a very faint line at 9DPO and confirmed with a digital at 10 DPO. When I had the very faint line with my son, I didn’t think much of it as it was barely even there and I could easily lose it, and I was honestly shocked when I got a positive on a FRER the next day and confirmed with a digital. Anyway, here’s my test from today, and I’ll post a photo of the positive test with my son…

@lavafield i think this is it, when you know you’ve timed it perfectly it feels like ‘well why wouldn’t I be pregnant’, but according to Google there’s still only a 30% chance even if you DTD at the most optimum time. Haha I think I’d also probably be considered an ‘advanced maternal age’ - I’m 35, going on 36. So based on that maybe I should be being more realistic about how long it will take. For me my cycles were all over the place when we were TTC first time, so I thought as they are regular now it would make it much easier and would happen much quicker. It is only cycle 2, but I was convinced it would happen in the first 2-3 months 🤦🏻‍♀️

@DaisyEM I know! I hope it will happen to you within at least the same timeframe, preferably earlier, this second time round!
We are trying for our first one and I would be what doctors describe "advanced maternal age" 😅😂 so it is clear it will take a bit of time. We are in cycle 3 only and first proper one with OPKs and timed DTD etc.

@lavafield awh I’m sorry hear that, I expected AF is right around the corner for me too! I honestly don’t know why I thought it would happen quickly for us this time when it took 8 months last time 🙄

@DaisyEM 😔 me too, a BFN with frer on 12DPO and pre-AF symptoms in full swing I am certain I am out. I am starting to focus on August now :)

I tested this morning (10DPO) and BFN 😔 feeling a bit deflated

@lavafield I think there definitely is! AF is due Friday for me as my LP is on the shorter side, so not long to wait to see if it turns up for me!

@DaisyEM I did have some cramps that were a bit stronger than usual before AF on 9-11 DPO. My period isn't due till Sunday so maybe there is still hope 😂

I won't be able to resist testing every morning 🙄

Good luck those still waiting / testing this month.

@Lisa3192 sorry, no line on your test but it is still early!

Sorry I can't see anything, maybe try again tomorrow or the next day?

@DaisyEM I have no patience at all with testing, I can't resist. Let us know how you get on x

@Lovedatforme thanks ☺️ I’m undecided as to whether to test again or just wait to see if AF shows on Friday x

@lavafield thanks 💜 according to google, it takes 3-4 days for HGC to build up to detectable levels, and most common implantation is 8-9 DPO, so based on that you could still go on to get a BFP, but then again, I’m over here at 9DPO and testing negative, and assuming I’m out too!

@Lisa3192 so sorry but I can’t see anything. I’m 9DPO today too x

@lavafield @Lovedatforme thank you both! That's really encouraging to hear, I'll take another as soon as I'm home from work

Hi, guys I am 9 dpo today, can you see any second line on my test?

@DaisyEM 9DPO is still early, hoping something will show up for you soon!

@kathrynoaa I've never used the clear blue tests, only premom ones. But from your pic of the premom ones it looks like it's rising today, keep testing today as you might get your peak later. Wishing you the best.

Hi @kathrynoaa !
I would say your Premom test from today shows LH is starting to rise nicely and the peak may follow soon. Keep testing today! But it is a bit strange that 0.7 is still showing as low for you, I was getting "high" readings for 0.6 with similar lines, but that was after my peak of 1. I don't use other tests though.

@DaisyEM I really hope it is just still too early for you!
I also had nothing but stark white at 11DPO this morning. Looks like I am out this month!

Hi everyone,

I've been watching this thread for a couple of weeks, waiting for ovulation to come! We're TTC baby 1, and on cycle 2. Although this is our first cycle where I'm using LH tests. Not yet tracking BBT - I dont want to overwhelm myself too early on. I'm on CD13 and have regular cycles of 30 days.

I wondered if anyone had much experience with the clear blue tests (purple ones)? I've been using both these and the easy @ home ones with the premom app, testing every morning and evening since my period finished.

I think I ovulate around CD14 most months based on what I've inputted into Flo for the past few years, and often get ovulation pain around then. Today is CD13 so am expecting ovulation. However, I'm confused by the LH tests!

Yesterday morning I got the circle on the clear blue tests, and this morning it was a solid smiley so no flashing smiley in between. I know LH can rise fast so would assume I'd have got flashing later in the day yesterday.

The bit that is then confusing me though is that the easy @ home test this morning was pretty dark, but still shows as 'low', despite the graph predicting my peak will be later today. (The graph after yesterdays tests predicted ovulation CD23 so its come forwards a lot!).

I've attached some photos of my LH strips so far, the premom graph, and this mornings tests.

Does anyone have any experience of the clear blue tests identifying peak a lot sooner than other tests? Or does anyone have experience of the premom app going from low to peak very rapidly (within a 12hr window as mine is predicting)?

@MrsB902 i feel like it’ll be quicker for us this time too, not sure why given that I was almost 5 years younger last time 😅 hopefully we do find it doesn’t take as long this time around for both of us 🤞🏼

I was so sure I would have a suuuper faint line on a test this morning, but stark white 😖 still only 9DPO though
