This is amazing news!! Did you get a big surprise? I’ve been following this thread since the beginning, have loved seeing everyone get their positives. I was 10DPO yesterday and stark white like yours was - but I feel very pregnant!! Going to test again today 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Yes I wasn't expecting it after yesterday's bfn. Fingers crossed. Going to retest with FRER at 12 dpo

Did another OPK this evening because I always seem to get a stronger reading in the evening. OMG what is this?! It’s so similar to the example pregnancy chart so I really hope it’s a good sign 🤞 I’ve got terrible cramps so I wonder if it could be implantation? So much watery discharge my pants feel wet, I had that when I was pregnant before so I’m really hoping my body’s not playing tricks on me.

Wow fingers crossed

Yesterday 9 dpo I got a stark white bfn. Today I tested again at 10 dpo and I think it's something!

anyone else eating everything in sight and craving carbs on 6dpo?

MrsH26 · 13/01/2025 19:22

7/8 DPO for me. OPKs saying nothing exciting.
random (very specific) right sided cramping yesterday evening, but nothing since.
had some very vivid dreams last night. But nothing specifically symptom wise, so I’m assuming AF will come.
There’s still time though!

MrsH26 · 13/01/2025 19:17

Got everything crossed for you @SarahB88 🤞🏻🤞🏻

How early can a test be positive after ovulation? I'm 6dpo and obviously couldn't resist testing this morning lol, and I'm so sure there is a line there! Camera cant pick the line up but now I'm thinking I must have line eyes as surely 6dpo is too early?! 😆

So lovely to see all the positive tests in this group!!

I see a line! 😬

SarahB88 · 13/01/2025 16:40

@MummyV2021 you just read in to every twinge don’t you! I really hope this is our month but who knows. I feel like I won’t get an answer until Thursday anyway.

Hopefully you get two lines on Thursday too!

MummyV2021 · 13/01/2025 16:29

@SarahB88 I know what you mean about cramps... I normally get them first day of AF and that's it, sometimes the day after but never before so cramping now is unusual for me but then you wonder if you always get them but just don't pay as much attention to your body when you're not TTC. Hahaha! Trying not to drive myself mad!

AF is due Friday for me but I've got a work party on Thursday so will likely test Thursday to see if I can have a cheeky drink or not!

MummyV2021 · 13/01/2025 15:17

My spotting stopped a couple of days after I ovulated thankfully and all back to normal now. Should be 10DPO today and if normally be testing already but managing to resist the urge. I've had zero symptoms so no reason to suspect anything anyway. Had a few cramps here and there but could be anything! Fingers crossed your OPK means something! I don't do OPKs after I confirm my peak, can't be bothered 🤣

That’s good about the spotting, hopefully just an ovulation thing.

I thought I’d carry on testing as apparently LH and HCG show up in similar ways so if you’re getting a dark OPK around when AF is due it could be HCG that’s not strong enough for a pregnancy test.

I’m really not sure though, I’m still so crampy today and it feels like AF cramps but I don’t tend to cramp until day 2 of that. I remember being really crampy when pregnant before but I’m not sure it was happening this early.

Going to resist the urge to test tomorrow and do one Wednesday when AF is due. The clear blue website is telling me their ultra early test won’t pick anything up until Thursday though based on my ovulation date so unless AF arrives on or before Wednesday then I’ve still a bit of a wait ahead 😩

Annie2288 · 13/01/2025 15:22

can anyone help her im the worst my line eyes will make up stuff

Annie2288 · 13/01/2025 15:21

@WaitingEA i dont know if i can see anything

MummyV2021 · 13/01/2025 15:17

SarahB88 · 13/01/2025 08:49

@MummyV2021 it is isn’t it!! Hope you have some clarity on your spotting soon.

I’ve done my OPK this morning (forgot to do yesterday) and it’s really dark so hopefully that’s a good sign 🤞 but I had that with my CP so feeling anxious as well. My partners told me to stay strong and wait til Thursday to test as that will officially be missed AF day, we’ll see 😂 I’m deffo not testing tomorrow though. Hoping this short LP is ok but I think I’ve always had an LP around 10-12 days and have had a successful pregnancy before.

@DogMum99 Oh maybe!! I hope It's even stronger tomorrow😍

99% sure I'm out as I'm spotting and still BFN yesterday morning. 🫠 My AF is so off, 3 days late and only spotting, no cramps. I always have heavy flow very quickly and pretty bad cramps so something feels weird but maybe I'm just over-analyzing it 🥰

DogMum99 · 13/01/2025 14:37

BerrieSweet · 13/01/2025 14:23

@DogMum99 Maybe you ovulated earlier than you though?🥰

Maybe! If I was going by the date that my app said I was meant to ovulate, I would actually be 10dpo so maybe i did! It's all so confusing 🥲. I'll test again in the morning and hope for the best but trying not to get my hopes up!

How are you doing my lovely? Last I saw on here, you was waiting for af to arrive if I remember correctly? X

You don't implant until 6po at a minimum so earliest a test will pick up something is 8dpo.

I've tested again this morning and I think a definite positive 🤞🏻the bleeding I had has also completely stopped so must have been implantation bleeding. It was quite a bit more than spotting so interesting to know it can be heavier for some people. Also, really sore boobs and very high cervix 😬
Good luck to everyone wherever you are on the journey! X

Oh wow! Congratulations 🥳

Hi all. I've been reading along the last week or so as it's my first month TTC. I'm 38 so thinking it would take us a bit longer!
Anyway, I thought I was out this month as my AF arrived a few days ago. However this was very light and not like my typical period. The bleeding had completely stopped so I thought I'd take a test to be sure. All tests up to this point were stark white. This one has a faint line though. I don't dare to hope but I'm resisting the urge to test again until the morning! Can anyone see what I can? It's so hard to pick up a decent picture on my phone.
