Finally took a digital test today at 21DPO after not seeing much line progression with regular tests, got a nice 2-3 weeks. It was very reassuring to see the word ‘pregnant’ - makes it feel more real!

Caved and tested today 10dpo BFN 🙁 AF due tomorrow as short lat phase should of just waited

I'm also due on tomorrow. So sure I will be there with you.
Sorry that you got a negative. I did a test once and that negative was heart breaking so refuse to test anymore. I just let AF tell me that it's time to start again.
Hope you can keep a positive mindset as we go into the next cycle.
Sending you a virtual hug🫂

I'm out this month ladies, really disheartened 😔 going to take some time to rest up ahead of next month. See some of you on the Feb thread. Take care all!

MakeMeJuno · 20/01/2025 11:41

9DPO here and BFN but know it is still early. I feel really off but wondering if I am coming down with something

Midnight00 · 20/01/2025 11:39

Sorry to hear about all the negative tests. My period was due on Sat and still hasn't come. Easy at home tests all completely negative so don't know what's going on. Really thought we had a chance this month.

ClaireF992 · 19/01/2025 16:14

I’ve been eating a ridiculous amount of food today and feeling very irritable which always a sign AF is on the way! Due on Thursday, was planning to test tomorrow but with these symptoms I thing it’s a waste of a test 😒

TenaciousOne · 19/01/2025 16:08

I haven’t been taking opks so it’s always possible but it’s very late for my normal. I think I’m not going to test for a couple of days and see what happens.

LovelyKhanum · 19/01/2025 15:46

Hey ladies, having symptoms… AF not scheduled for another 7 days… I don’t know for sure but reckon I am 10-12 dpo (I usually O quite soon after AF) … Have a lot of breast pain coming and going which started 4 days ago, which I think would be rather early for PMS. Nausea coming and going the last 5 days. So bloated and feeling rotten. More tired than usual, fell asleep randomly at a friend’s house yesterday eve lol! So many headaches coming and going for the past 8 days and I never get headaches not even when I’m sick. Thirsty loads. Feeling chilly. Crazy dreams.

Trying to hold out on doing a test too soon, but if symptoms are this strong would it make sense to test early? Xx

KittyFantastica · 19/01/2025 15:22

Hi all, just popping in to say I hope you're all doing well 🤞

@TenaciousOne easy@home are some of the most sensitive on the market. I've had positives with them before even a FRER could pick up HCG. I doubt any other brand would show you what an easy@home or FRER can't. Is there a chance you ovulated a bit later this cycle?

TenaciousOne · 19/01/2025 13:46

Can anyone recommend tests. I’ve been using easy@ home test and been getting negatives but AF is three days late at this point.

MrsSMxx · 18/01/2025 22:28

Feel better soon 💜

littlefox90 · 18/01/2025 19:34

Eugh, I feel sicky today and been fatigued for about 48 hours but only 8dpo so I'm guessing Im just coming down with something. Seems too early for symptoms 😕 also a little scratchy in the throat

SarahB88 · 17/01/2025 21:25

@SB0 @MummyV2021 hopefully see you both in a due in whatever month thread at some point. Wishing you all the luck x

MummyV2021 · 17/01/2025 21:02

SarahB88 · 17/01/2025 19:04

@MummyV2021 pretty sure AF is here now but it’s still quite stop and start. I’m going to take a step back from things this cycle, not going to do OPKs, not going to join a thread (no offence to anyone I just need a break) and I’m going to book some massages and things during my lunch breaks at work now I’m back to just relax in to things a bit more. Hopefully our time will come soon.

Oh I totally get it! I'm going to do the same myself, it all gets a bit much doesn't it?! I'm just relieved my cycle hasn't been delayed by the MC and has actually been slightly shorter than usual - so not left waiting forever! Best of luck to you for the next cycle 😘

Good for you! My period is due today and it feels like the last 2 weeks have been the biggest drain… I’m going to take a leaf out of your book and do the same, try to take the pressure off a bit. Good luck & hoping for a positive for you next month 🤞🏼🙏🏻

Having a very uncomfortable ovulation today :(

Midnight00 · 17/01/2025 16:58

I'm 10DPO with AF due today or tomorrow. Really trying to hold out testing till Sunday but might crack and test tomorrow! It's been the longest few weeks

MummyV2021 · 17/01/2025 15:52

Congrats @MrsH26 !!

@JemC85 I think I can see the start of something but probably want to test again in a couple of days to be sure. Will keep fingers crossed for you!

@Lavenderrose92 the pics aren't great but I think they look like indents - where there is dye behind the space where the line would normally form so it's creating almost like a negative shadow. I've had this before and it has made me questions whether there's a line in certain lights!

@SarahB88 how are you getting on? AF is due for me today, not here yet but I'm feeling a bit crampy and heavy down there so think she'll be here any moment!

TenaciousOne · 17/01/2025 11:47

BFN for me this morning.
Congrats @MrsH26

Lavenderrose92 · 17/01/2025 09:22

MrsH26 · 17/01/2025 09:07

Could you maybe pop the test strip on a different background. It’s tricky to see because it’s blurry. Everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

i’ve binned it now but i’m going to retest in 2 days as i still think it’s too early, thank you 🌈

MrsH26 · 17/01/2025 09:07

Lavenderrose92 · 17/01/2025 09:00

Hi all! Currently trying to for number 2, I'm 8dpo and showing as negative (I caved due to being so bloody impatient 🙃).

I normally ovulate day 14 but I didn't get my normal signs like discharge (sorry tmi!) we dtd on day 15 when I had more signs. I know when you are on all the vitamins it can push you out slightly so I'm hoping that's just what happened.

But here's the weird part, I have PMDD, normally in this 2 weeks I turn into the devil, mood swings are awful, I'm angry and my boobs throb... but I haven't got ANY of that?!

When I got pregnant with my little boy I was so chilled I didn't even think about the tww and now I'm obsessed by it. It's certainly bringing my mood down.

My husband is being great in reminding me it's still so early but it's so hard not to feel deflated when it's something you want so bad 😔

Sorry for the essay and depressing tones 😂

I've been silently reading this thread from the start and so happy there are some positive tests coming through! ✨
