I am sooooo confused what do you ladies make of this?? I took test this morning which was negative. I don’t know why I told myself to take another…took this one 10min ago I’m 3days late with no sign of AF showing and now this has appeared within time frame!? Can a few hours make a difference? Tested at 8am nothing but now this?? This emotional rollercoaster is killing me!!! I have never had an evap lines with easy at home and as I said this showed within 5min xx

I was told that SMU with a good hold is actually better than FMU. FMU is giving you a better indication level of your hormones the night before than the current day.

Have another good hold and try again, but definitely try again tomorrow.

Mumzydarling12 · 12/01/2025 11:32

@BerrieSweet ohhhh I’m so sorry to hear you have started spotting and had a BFN aswell! :( the whole process is so frustrating! I hope you receive your BFP very soon aswell x

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! :(

I can imagine how confusing that must be, and I understand how you got your hopes up when AF was late 🥹 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it might just be a late implantation bleeding 🤞🏼

My AF was also late this month wich is unusual, so I got my hopes up as well but still BFN today and started spotting :/

Mumzydarling12 · 12/01/2025 11:28

Hi @SarahB88 thanks for your message, according to my app I’m 16dpo but my body signs were telling me I ovulated later than the date on my app I believe it’s more 12dpo. But the early at home tests are meant to be sensitive so I would have thought they would have picked something up. Waiting impatiently for my AF to arrive now but I don’t have any of my usual symptoms either!? So looks like I will be in limbo for a few days…. But days seem to feel like years when going through all of this! Such an emotional rollercoaster each month! Hoping we get out BFP soon :) x

SarahB88 · 12/01/2025 11:20

@Mumzydarling12 how many DPO are you? It could be that you’ve had late implantation and the tests just aren’t picking it up yet? Hopefully you get a BFP in a couple of days and not AF 🤞 x

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

I'm so happy! My little rainbow baby on the way ❤️

Congratulations 🎉❤️

SarahB88 · 12/01/2025 09:35

So it would appear that I’ve totally lost the ability to read a calendar and AF is actually due tomorrow if on a 24 day cycle or Wednesday if on a 26 day cycle. I was thinking Thursday is my latest. No signs of her turning up, I usually spot 2 days before AF fully arrives so I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Qwerty93 · 12/01/2025 03:56

Well I’m out.

8dpo, and my cramping is continuing (heavy like), I only have one sore boob (feels exact same as PMS), and my resting heart rate has dropped.

previous pregnancy…. I had swollen boobs with blue veins/tingly nips… and my heart rate went up from 58 to 71bpm

MrsH26 · 11/01/2025 21:17

@Midnight00 absolutely not! Realistically it’s not likely to happen (first cycle properly trying & im over 40!), but we’ve done everything right, so can only hope!

going to try really hard not to early test

SarahB88 · 11/01/2025 21:12

Is anyone else absolutely exhausted? I fell asleep on the floor putting my daughter to bed earlier tonight and feel like I’m fit for my bed now already!

Midnight00 · 11/01/2025 21:04

@MrsH26 Testing buddies! Hope you're being more patient than me

Clove31 · 11/01/2025 20:31

Thank you so much @AmazeB
ohhhh sending all my baby dust to you! I hope it’s a positive for you. Xxx

Midnight00 · 11/01/2025 16:58

Congratulations to all the recent positives! I'll be testing on the 19th if AF doesn't arrive before then. Anyone else with a similar date?

AF due 20th, 6DPO today. So very similar to you!

Lcc5261 · 11/01/2025 19:04

Af has arrived for me this month so onto February! Good luck ladies xx

@Clove31 congratulations!

Miffy1994 · 11/01/2025 15:56

Congrats @Clove31!
Thanks @SarahB88 and @Wisher88, think I’m normally 12dpo for AF but have had a weird month with late ovulation (probs due to stress over xmas) so we’ll see what happens. As I said though, found out with DD at 8dpo! Didn’t know you can get medication for it though so thanks for the heads up.

Ah hopefully it’s just a one off then! I think when I had my DD it must have been an early implantation too because I’ve got fairly short cycles and got a really strong positive on day AF was due with a regular test even though I was prob only around 10DPO. I didn’t do OPKs with her so unsure exactly when I ovulated but I think she nestled in quickly 😂

Clove31 · 11/01/2025 15:57

Thank you ❤️❤️
