January TTC Support Group 💚

Omg so excited for you!!😍

@coolbananas21 so excited it's getting darker!!

@Kittyfantastica Those lines all look great!!

congratulations @wisher88

I have a digital here I may use tomorrow!

I got a faint line on a first response this afternoon! Came up within 2minutes. Looks better in person!

Sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for us next cycle! In Sweden they recommend to get help from a doctor after 6 months trying when your over 35 <3

Month 6 and think I am out. Cramping and spotting so period should be starting today or next few days. Now on to month 7 and trying to keep chin up. But also majorly bummed out. With our mc we got pregnant right away and now ...it feels like it's taking forever. As I'm 35 I'm wondering when to go to get some help from doctors as it's been 6 months.

Congrats to all who have their bfps! Really hope to join you soon 🙏

Fingers crossed you've got a late implanted then @EEB1989 I've always had good success with the Wondfo or Easy@home cheapies - they're pink dye and very semantics. I do know there has been the odd indent with them, though. I rate FRER as well, and the line did eventually come up on my FRER this morning, but the cheapies shockingly showed it much better. I have a couple of clear blues in the back of the cupboard, but I wouldn't use them until after I'd missed my period by quite a few days as they are notorious for evaps, and wouldn't want to be guessing.

Actually, I have these small Easy@home tests, which I used for my last pregnancy, and the line on that came up before the FRER too, thinking about it! They're cheap and very good, got them from Amazon. Picture attached.

First response are good, they do a nice clear pink line. You can get them on amazon. If AF doesn’t show on 16th for me I’m going to order some of those as clear blue can have evap lines. I do like a digital clear blue test though for confirmation.

Yeah I’m a tracker… I peaked 25/12 ovulated 26/12 so I’m 12DPO, my luteal phase can vary on average it’s 11days. This month was mean to be a 10day phase but I ovulated late (CD19) technically AF could show up late/on time.

We did the sperm meets egg method so DTD for 25, 26 & 27. Just hoping we’ve caught the egg…

Ive never had cramps and not gotten my AF and I’ve never had spotting before.
I haven’t been on any contraception for two years - we haven’t been TTC either.

I’ll wait until the weekend before testing again. I’m just not sure which tests are better, I don’t hold much hope for the cheapies.

Thank you @SarahB88 @ThatSnugSwan and congrats to you @CoolBananas21, just catching up with the thread!

I'm 9DPO today. Fertility Friend had my O date down wrong, it suggested potential ovulation on the date I got my peak, but my EWCM didn't stop until two days later, so definitely 9DPO. I had cramping two days ago that was quite strong on and off all day, and then last night I had heavy feeling and dull period pain type cramps. I also had sensitive boobs yesterday, which is very unusual for me. I've manually changed my FF graph, and attached a photo for interest.

Sorry to hear you're in limbo @EEB1989 Did you monitor ovulation with OPKs/temping? What dates did they give, and how long is your luteal phase usually?

@KittyFantastica really hope it’s a sticky bean for you 🤞🤞🤞

@KittyFantastica Oh my god how exciting 😍 This is amazing. How many dpo are you? Keep us updated

Hi Ladies
Congratulations to those getting BFP today.

I’m currently 12DPO but two days late on my period.
I had bad cramps Friday night/Saturday morning so was convinced AF was coming but she’s yet to arrive… I’ve had a very very small amount of brown spotting which I NEVER get before AF.

I have tested but it’s BFN using those super cheap (£1) strips. I’m going to wait until the weekend when I do a food shop to get a proper test. Please can you tell me which ones are the best to buy?

I fell in limbo, I’ve gone through all the emotions since Saturday… am I arnt I?! I guess I’ll just wait and see 🤞.

My positive is a lot stronger today! Congrats to everyone that has a positive, and sending love to those still waiting I'll have my heart crossed for you all ❤️ x

Congratulations @Floralcat and @Wisher88

Tentatively joining you.

Well I am cautiously excited. Tested again with a digital one with my second wee of the day. BFP.
I don't think I'll quite celebrate until I get to about 10 weeks but fingers crossed this one is for keeps ❤️

Pretty sure I had a positive progesterone test this morning. Although I must have rubbish line eyes as I can’t see anything on anyones tests they’ve popped on today 🙈 so I’ll test again tomorrow and maybe the day after too just to confirm there’s definitely not a second line and it’s positive.

Still very bloated and getting some cramps. My boobs have ballooned as well which isn’t normal for me unless pregnant but don’t want to get my hopes up and I am sticking to my guns of no tests day AF is due next week.

Thank you. Am I crazy to be thinking of using a digital test for my second wee of the day??

NHS says you can apparently test any time of the day but I suspect that's on the basis of waiting two full weeks. If I was to guess my DPO it would probably be about 11 or 12.

Looks like definite line to me!

@floralcat it definitely looks darker to me!

@wisher88 I see something on there too! I would definitely test again. I've read that evap normally have no colour to them so don't look even faintly pink. I've had a few faint tests before and period has come but I also had really faint tests that have progressed too.

@berriesweet I'm glad you feel relaxed about it. We are too this month. Due to sickness we only dtd once which was 3 days before ovulation I think

@Hen2000 Fingers crossed! 11 DPO today and BFN, I have accepted that it may not happen this cycle but I am hopeful for the next cycle instead! Havent gotten my AF yet tho, Its due tomorrow 🥰

Morning everyone

DH and I had a half arsed attempt in December. We tried evening of day 15 and 16. Half arsed because my cycle ended up being 30 days so MIL was here so we couldn't get down to serious business.
Anyway, I don't know how long my cycle is this month because of the surprise 30 day one last month, and I never did any ovulation tests.
I did a couple of pregnancy tests over the weekend and all came back nil point. I assumed it was a no for this month so didn't bother yesterday. This morning felt a bit sicky/nauseous so I gave it another go and there appears to be two lines. Now I was trying to wrestle a clingy toddler who as soon as she knows mummy is doing something will want to be on my lap.
I thought I saw a faint line in all the chaos and I managed to get a photo a bit later but I'm not certain it was within five minutes. So while there's a line I'm cautious of it being an evap line given that I couldn't have a proper look until probably after five minutes.

Do evap lines look different to positive lines?

I have one DD, who is my rainbow baby so I'm extremely cautious.
Today is day 27 of my cycle.

Have been following along this thread and had counted myself out as wanted to relax over xmas and we only dtd 5 days before ovulation- AF due in 2 days but I had a vvfl yesterday and does look darker today? Had been completely stark negative 10dpo and 11dpo. would be absolutely astonishing if this turns out to be real. Trying not to get hopes up as so faint for 12 + 13dpo but will keep testing

Congratulations to OP @MyGardenDaisies and all the other BFPs 🥰

Can anyone see a shadow or have I got line eye lol

This was me, 2 days ago! It feels like it takes forever doesn’t it?

Just saw your test too! I had a faint line last month so not getting too excited yet but lh didn't rise so much. Keeping my fingers crossed as we are both so early still! 9dpo for me today
10dpo for you?
