So many positives in this thread! Congratulations all and hope things progress smoothly.

Positive OPK for me on Saturday (conveniently timed for my son's sleepover at his nan's) and temperatures on the up so tentatively putting myself at 1DPO and in the TWW. Aiming not to test until 12DPO which will be Friday 24th.

@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.

Thank you @Lou98x ☺️x
crossing my fingers for you @SarahB88 ! It’s such a rollercoaster. X

SarahB88 · 13/01/2025 08:14

Stupidly took a test this morning at 8DPO and obviously it was negative! If I was on a 26 day cycle this month I’ll start spotting today so will look out for that but I’m having loads of pregnancy type discharge and I’m exhausted so I’m holding out hope.

I checked back and I didn’t get a positive with my DD until CD27, unsure when I ovulated as I wasn’t tracking that cycle so I know I’ve tested early today. I’ve got loads of cheap and good tests available for using so hopefully it’s good news and AF doesn’t rear her head.

@Lou98x awwwww a massive congratulations!!! Over the moon for you! i hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! ❤️

I have taken another test this morning and it’s negative! Attached a pic of this mornings and yesterdays. Reading up on things it may be that it’s a chemical pregnancy? The bleeding hasn’t got any heavier yet though? I have no idea what is going on? Will wait to see if AF arrives properly. Wishing you all the best ☺️

Thank you! Feeling all sorts of things this morning!

Sorry to see you’ve had a negative ☹️ keeping everything’s crossed that this works out for you 🤞🏼

@Lou98x promising that you had a vf positive! Let me know how you get on, crossing my fingers for you.
Well I’m even more confused now as I started spotting tonight. Im hoping it’s an implantation bleed? Today has been such a mix of emotions!! Will test again tomorrow or see if AF turns up full flow but I’m not having any cramps or anything like I usually do with AF and it’s just very light bleeding at the moment. So I’m still holding out a bit of hope as the test I took earlier that showed a bit of pink within time frame definitely got stronger after I left it for a while and looks positive. Never had one of these lines before on and early at home so praying it’s the real deal! Keep me updated ☺️x

Thank you! This morning’s test, although still faint, is most definitely positive!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP and AF stays away! Let me know!🩷

Hi everyone, I’m having a really tough morning and could cry. Got my hopes up as I’m 3 days late and I’m normally 29 days like clock work! Took an easy at home test this morning and nothing! :( these negatives are getting worse as time goes on! Looks like I will just have to wait for AF to arrive and move on to cycle 9 TTC. So frustrating! :(

Sorry to hear this @Mumzydarling12! Hopefully AF holds off and you get your BFP soon! Do you know when you ovulate?

ETA: just seen your next update, looks like a positive to me! Hopefully you’ll get some clarity in the next few days!

Lou98x · 12/01/2025 22:11

Mumzydarling12 · 12/01/2025 11:07

Welcome back @Lou98x ! I totally get where your coming from this journey can be so difficult! Crossing my fingers for you that you get a BFP soon x

Update: I took a test Saturday (yesterday) morning and got a vfaint positive! I officially miss my period tomorrow, so going to go on the hunt for an early test and hopefully get a nice dark line!!!

T0astedTeacake · 12/01/2025 20:37

Thanks for the replies. I'll update once I test again!

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.

i can see it… and i can never see anyone’s😂 congrats!

Definitely a line there. Give it a couple of days and take another test to see if it's darker

Mumzydarling12 · 12/01/2025 14:35

@BerrieSweet thank you ❤️ will keep you updated, can’t get my head around it at the moment! Still very confused! Will test again later or in the morning hopefully will be more clear then and I do have a CB digital but I might hold off until I have totally missed my period so a few more days. X

Sorry @Groundhogday2025 whats SMU is FMU first morning urine? Will test again later and tomorrow morning crossing my fingers and toes! X

Yes first morning urine and second morning urine. If you wake up, have a wee, just a little to drink and a good hold the second one should show you where you are today if that makes sense.
Got my fingers crossed for you!
