@ThisOchreTiger I definitely see the line too, congrats! 🥰

@nicolenorris my tests are 10mlu so super sensitive but still faint lines!

ThisOchreTiger · 24/11/2024 10:19

Thanks @nicolenorris , that's good advice. Hard to wait when you see that faint line!
Sounds positive for you too, fingers crossed for you!

Mae2B · 24/11/2024 10:19

@OneGladTiger thank you and congratulations to you too 🥰! Yesterday I was very sceptical but today I repeated the tests and I'm convinced it's definitely a positive 🥰🤯 just super scared if it's a chemical with the lines being so faint, but will have to wait and see.

@nicolenorris all the best to you! If you tend to have longer cycles then it might still be normal, you might just ovulate late, right? I hope your line darkens and gives you the reassurance you need 🤞🏻

nicolenorris · 24/11/2024 10:16

@ThisOchreTiger and I'd probably do a digital in the morning. When I got my first positive with my daughter I took a digital later on that day and it came back not pregnant

Line eyes anyone? The checker app is seeing a faint line and I can see it too. I'm 11 DPO today according to Flo app, 13 days since static smiley and ovulation cramps. Do you think there's any point in holding and doing a digital early test later or best to wait until the morning? This was FMU.

I 100% see a line!

nicolenorris · 24/11/2024 10:13

@OneGladTiger that's amazing! I took three 20mlu tests, weds, Thurs, and Friday. I'm sure I got two faints out of those but they are strip tests and I always get indents on those so to be honest I doubt they are positives. I just feel I would have tested positive by now! But I'm so confused to where the hell my af is! I have no normal signs of it coming either, only sore really boobs which I don't usually get before af

@OneGladTiger so glad your lines are progressing! How many dpo were you when you got a positive?

I didn’t get a faint line until the day my period was due but my cycles have varied a bit over the past few months so it’s really hard to say! They are still faint but I’ve been reading that it’s normal. I would guess I’m now 15dpo and it’s not dark by any means! I’ll upload a photo. I haven’t had any bleeding whatsoever so taking that as a good sign.

Em3009 · 24/11/2024 09:29

@nicolenorris please let us know how you get on 🩷

still no AF for me as expected but I’m trying to be positive in the fact lots get pregnant before it returns after coming off the pill! I’m not sure what to do about OPK’s this month but I think I’ll have to do them everyday if I do….

@nicolenorris sorry about your long cycle but exciting you maybe got a faint positive! Keep us updated 🤞🏻 it took longer than I expected to get a positive test so you never know! If you ovulate late and implant late it can take a while.

@Mae2B definitely look positive congrats!

My tests are getting darker every day now so it’s starting to feel more real. Still don’t have many symptoms apart from a bit gassy in the evenings. I’m sure they will all hit me sooner or later 😂

nicolenorris · 24/11/2024 08:20

And that cycle was only 43 days because I was on holiday and that always prolongs my periods for some reason. My longest cycle (without being away) was 39 days. So it's all a bit strange

nicolenorris · 24/11/2024 08:18

TinyShrew17 · 24/11/2024 07:45

@nicolenorris Oh bless you 😥 Are you testing again today?

No I'm gonna leave it a couple more days. My longest cycle is 43 days so once I'm past that I'll probably test again. I've booked an appointment for Thursday to see what's going on

TinyShrew17 · 24/11/2024 07:45

TinyShrew17 · 23/11/2024 21:10

@Mae2B definitely look positive to me!! 🥰

@nicolenorris Yes, okay, just very tired! Bloated and still some cramping on and off, which is making me worry no end. 🤦🏼‍♀️Boobs also feel huge.

How are you doing?

@TinyShrew17 honestly don't know what's going on ☹️ CD41 today no sign of AF? boobs feel heavy and painful, been like this for about a week now. I feel like I got a vfl yesterday but still not even sure. I just want something to happen now I'm fed up😭 period or positive test just something pls 🥲

@nicolenorris it's iOS only and I have android. I used another website to convert and I can't tell. Would you mind doing it for me on the app please?

These are the 2 tests I had this morning (14Dpo and AF late, seems a bit too faint for 14dpo but one can only hope):

I think it's actually 16dpo and only had BFN so far until these.

@OneGladTiger I inverted it for you and there's defo a shadow. The app says it sees something as well but I don't always rely on that app x

Which app is this? I didn't know this existed! 🤯

nicolenorris · 23/11/2024 19:05

How is everyone this weekend? X

Those whole situation has taught me quite a bit about how the body temp works. My temp is usually between 36.2 and 36.3. Around ovulation it went to 36.4ish. After I ovulated it jumped to between 36.6 and 36.75. When my tests failed to get any darker it dropped to 36.5 ish. Even when bleeding and testing positive still, it stayed here. Today I tested completely negative and my temp dropped right back down to 36.21. I know it's kinda off topic here but I thought it was pretty interesting how my body knew bubs had gone but was still there and then when it had gone completely x

The women's body is amazing. I'm so sorry you experienced a chemical😞 before ttc I really had no clue how common they are, it's so heartbreaking the things we women have to go through. I'm really sad I didn't get pregnant this month, just trying to tell myself it'll happen when the times right x
