Hellloo.
Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January?
I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

@YKM2829 have you tested today? I've got my fmu in a pot waiting because I need to go get another test 😂😂

YKM2829 · 14/01/2025 08:13

Sorry it's know tmi, it's just with implantation with my daughter or early pregnancy bleeding it was almost like slightly pink liquid and just 1 like snotty blood bit in my discharge, I very easily could have missed it last time tbh if I wasn't looking for it.

Yeah so if it wasn't for my bleeding yesterday I'd 100 percent be like yeah I see a line.

But it makes me question 😅

Honestly in person it wasn't as pale as in the phone it was so hard to get the light right because mine was done so late last night.
But the one on the bottom is watched it right from dipping it in the pee pot onwards and that line defiantly showed up before 10 minutes and when it did dry it did look slightly I dunno purple maybe????? Like there was a slight tinge on colour to the line in person I mean??

For me my periods are usually really heavy like deep dark red lots of clots and like a day like yesterday at work I should have soaked a regular tampon through in 2 to 3 hours but this bleeding it is red but it's defiantly almost like it's been watered down, and like this morning I haven't even needed a tampon in at all, and I've only been bleeding since yesterday morning 🤔 idk 😅😅🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh and I usually use green super tampons from aldi but this time I only need the yellow regular ones and it isn't even soaking fully through that even the one from while I was asleep like usually a super would leak in the night at least in the first 48 hours

I see faint lines on both of these! I've no tips on implantation bleeding unfortunately. I had none with my son. I had almost like a light period in August as implantation bleeding, but that pregnancy ended in miscarriage.

Here is my test from yesterday eve and the day before. I don't think the line is progressing and it's very faint, so not sure what to do yet about my surgery planned for Friday :(

Personally as soon as i clicked on the photo I saw the bottom ones line first so I'd say maybe it is ever so slightly darker??? But still faint??

Okay....I need help 😅😭😭
One of these is from yesterday, and I'm comparing with one I just took tonight, just to see if there's any darkening.
The one on the bottom is tonight's.

Can anyone maybe give brief details of what their implantation bleeding was like. With my first it was more like just literally 2 spots of slightly pink wee.

Also feel free to say you don't see anything at all 😅

I'm due on Sat/sun so I'm hoping (🤞) I don't come on and I can test on Monday. I was planning to buy a clear blue test but I see a lot of people using these: amzn.eu/d/enW3q88

Are they better?

Congrats @Fluffydino21 and everyone else who's got their positive this month. I love this part of a TTC thread when all the test pictures start coming through, so exciting!

Still only 8dpo so can't start testing yet, but January seems to have lasted a year already! 😂

I’m 8DPO also, it’s literally taking forever!

Brilliant! 🤩. I’m so happy for you!

the RHR is deffo one… I’m hoping that today was implantation and it dipped because of that haha!

secretly I know I’m out… but I’ll cling on to the hope.

im 8DPO at the minute. What are you @Fluffydino21

Thank you.

I'm not 100% sure. I think about 12-14 DPO.

The RHR has gone slightly down today though which makes me a little nervous.

I’ve got to say with those boots ones I found them notorious for evap line, thin grey line on it but at first glance could not been positive. I basically don’t like that brand 😂 but lots of ladies I’ve seen use them on here and been fine.

If you’ve got two faint lines on two tests now, got everything crossed they get darker for you 🤞🏻

Mine are amazon ones, I've looked at boots and the ones they do in the shop near me anyway are 25miu so not as sensitive xx

km9371 · 13/01/2025 09:46

@Mama09876 thank you!

I usually use one step strips, and I've had faint lines on those for a couple of days now! But a negative digital and then the positive boots early. I think it's definitely a positive, just cautious it could be a chemical, I have unfortunately had a few chemicals and a miscarriage during this TTC journey.

I should chill off testing but I also have surgery scheduled for Friday that I'd like to know if I need to cancel 🤦🏼‍♀️

Mama09876 · 13/01/2025 09:43

km9371 · 13/01/2025 09:40

@YKM2829 I can see a faint line still I think!

It's such minefield 😭 will be thinking of you today! I'm not sure if I should do a different brand of test or try to hold my wee longer or just leave it now 🤦🏼‍♀️

I know I'm thinking the same thing, I think if I continue to bleed today, it must just be dodgy cheap tests I reckon. They are 10miu so supposed to be the most sensitive really, but I dunno. It's awful isn't it 😪

Mama09876 · 13/01/2025 09:39

@Qwerty93 i don’t think it necessarily means you’re out, my RHR was up and down until about 10 DPO then I seen a continual increase.

@YKM2829 i feel as though I can see an shadow on it!

km9371 · 13/01/2025 08:59

@YKM2829 how is your test today?

I'm unsure 😭😭 so I woke up this morning and was bleeding, straight away just assumed af put a tampon in, did a test but left it because I was like why did I eveb do a test your bleeding. I've gone to toilet now and the bleeding has stopped. Like the tampon only had a spot on it and a little pink. So I've done another test. And I don't even know if this is something or not 😭lol
