Is anyone else around the same point? I've been testing and think I can see a faint line, trying not to get too excited

@RooneyRu I caved too and BFN as well! It's so hard when there are tests just sitting there. I don't feel like it's my months either, not really any symptoms and last month with the chemical I definitely did so not holding out much hope

I’m 8DPO and trying not to test. No symptoms at all either. Feeling like this isn’t my month either. Had a bit of a go at DH, found out he’s been downing 6 coffees a day at work… frustrating when I’m doing all this work to est clean and not drink alcohol etc!

RooneyRu · 09/03/2025 13:36

I caved and tested today 🙈

9 DPO and BFN for me, doesn't feel like it's going to be my month this month!

12dpo ✨ not testing unless AF doesn’t arrive by weekend at least, due around today/tomorrow.
Been unwell this past week, feeling sick and back ache unsure if it was a bug or not as I did have Nora virus last Tuesday but sickness has come back with backache last 2/3 days & not sleeping very well.

How is everyone else’s newly symptom spotting this cycle xx

RooneyRu · 04/03/2025 21:20

Me too! 4/5 DPO!

ElGraham · 04/03/2025 20:53

SCK2024 · 01/03/2025 10:13

@RooneyRu Did you do another zoom to predict whether it was any darker? X

@jennacx Yours look like a good gradual transition 🤞🏼x

im DPO 9 today no symptoms other than tender (.)(.)

✨

RooneyRu · 28/02/2025 22:06

It looks like almost peak! I am sure if you do one tomorrow it will be as dark as the control!

Either way, I would say it's high fertility :)

Just done another one, surely this is my peak!? Will done another one in the morning but looks like that could be it. I've been scanning them in on the premom app and it's still saying that last one is low but I think I'm just going to ignore that because it looks like a peak to me

Hmmm ok, maybe it will get darker then. I will test again for bed and that will be a good few hours since this one. I've done what I would have done anyway so fingers crossed we've not missed anything xx

OP posts:
RooneyRu · 28/02/2025 14:52

So, mine went from this to full peak like dark, dark in 12 hours! I was shocked.

In the morning it was like this and by the evening it was peak. I wonder if it's the cheap strips, maybe the can't pick up the subtle rises?

@SCK2024 got everything crossed for you xx

@ElGraham that sounds like a good idea!

I was expecting my peak yesterday which didn't happen and this afternoon this is the darkest I've managed to get so far, will test again later and see if it's any darker. It seems quite light though for a peak? We've BD yesterday and day before so thinking maybe do tonight tomorrow too and hope for the best

@SCK2024 I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for you - don't give up hope!

I got my peak today - but with really low other hormones Low Oestrogen and v low progesterone. BD last night and was planning not today as we are trying to do every other day but looks like we might give it a go as my peak has come earlier than expected.

SCK2024 · 27/02/2025 19:19

So my progesterone levels came back 28 DPO7

not much higher than when I did them last month at a different time in cycle.

im feeling doubtful 😩

RooneyRu · 27/02/2025 09:14

@SCK2024 omg you poor thing! I feel for you!

Has anyone else got their peak? I got my yesterday / today.

I usually get a clear blue solid smiley the day before I get a proper cheapy peak. Anyone else get this?

I presume the cheap ones just pick it up a bit later than the CB ones but does make it hard to predict which day is actual ov.

ElGraham · 26/02/2025 20:25

@SCK2024 oh my gosh I had norovirus in January and it was the most horrific thing, I really feel for you I had both ends at the same time too (tmi maybe!)

@jennacx I’m due to ovulate on Saturday too! Been testing and hormones aren’t showing any sign of a peak yet but mine tend to stay low and then jump right at ovulation. Looks like we are on a similar timeline !

SCK2024 · 26/02/2025 18:38

jennacx · 26/02/2025 17:39

@SCK2024 oh bless you that sounds awful. Glad you're feeling better now xx

Hoping you start to feel some symptoms soon 🤞🏼 have they said anything about what can happen based on your test results?

I'm expecting ovulation Friday/saturday, should hopefully get my peak tomorrow so DTD today and going to do tomorrow and Friday too. I've got a bit of a cold so really don't feel like it which isn't great.

How is everyone else?

Well my results when I did day 21 was 20 and my GP said it needs to be above 25 to predict ovulation happened, so this time she’s asked to do 6/7days post ovulation as my cycles are short (21-25days)
should get my results tomorrow 🤞🏼

Do you know what the eligibility is for fertility medication?

I’m sure I ovulated probably just didn’t catch the right time to test.

Risks of fertility medication can be twins/triplets 🫠 can you imagine!

but have to wait till April for the hospital gynae referral.

not feeling any different, little cram-pier than usual but V mild

Just been catching up on messages you all sound like things are going well ✨✨✨

I'm only on cycle day 13 and peak should be 16/17

I used that lube and got pregnant first time with my daughter. I used it last month for the first time too with the chemical. Also taking coq10 and DHA supplements which I did last time too 🤞🏼

✨✨✨
