10dpo and had a faint positive this morning. Cannot believe it. Mother’s Day was going to always be hard due to our loss in December but this feels so special to have found out today. Sending love to everyone today x

Congratulations!! That’s amazing 🥰

Happy Mothers Day to everyone incuding to be ! and thoughts with anyone that finds it hard 🩷

feeling quite sad today as think i only ovulated last Tuesday and started spotting friday/ sat and today seems more blood like AF starting. No way could be implantation starting that early? Obviously complete bfn. This has never happened to me in my life before as normally very regular longer cycles 30-33 days. Have just turned 35.

hoping just a one off random weird cycle.

xx

Hope you all don’t mind me jumping on, I know I had a positive a few weeks ago (still positive 😁) but I am just so invested and exited to see who will be having Christmas babies this year ❤️

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 19:46

Great advice I'll do one now! Thanks so much 😊 Relieved if it's over and hopefully hormones like you say. I missed my window last month with dh work and don't want to miss it again for lack of enthusiasm 😂

Let us know how it goes! Hope you haven’t missed it. I’m really hoping I’ve done it enough. We only managed 2 times in the fertile window. I’ve kinda made my peace with it now, and what will be will be! Now I’ve got to try and not test early 😂

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 19:46

jelliebean9 · 29/03/2025 19:40

No I don’t think so looking at your charts there. That’s a very obvious peak and decline. Have you done another OPK just to see if it’s peaking again? It def looks like ovulation is done and hopefully the cramps are just regular hormonal changes 🙏

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 19:41

Thanks @jelliebean9 thats good to know! Weirdly this month no EWCM and was caught completely off guard by an early positive. So hard to tell with a change 🤔 Kicking myself for not carrying on dtd for a couple more days but we had done X3 in a row and was well and truly done!

jelliebean9 · 29/03/2025 19:40

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 19:37

Here's a picture of the opks! Never usually notice ovulation symptoms. Can it be this late from Wednesday?

I got a positive opk on Wednesday and the apps updated my predicted ovulation to be Thursday, although I know it can be 24-36hrs. But I've got period like cramps today (2dpo) Is this ovulation cramps? Wondering if I've missed my window now because we last dtd on Thursday assuming O had been and gone 😩

I quite often get residual niggles after ovulation for a few days! Some months it’s worse than others. Have you had a chance in CM now?

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 19:29

@SquadGoalz I normally start twice a day near the time and usually catch it on an evening!

jelliebean9 · 29/03/2025 17:09

This was my first month using the clear blue digi advanced ones. And I had flashy smiley for 2 days. Then got the static and it tells you to stop testing and that you’ll ovulate in the next 12-36 hours- which is a huge window. Yesterday was when I got the static smiley and yesterday afternoon I had major cramps and today they’re gone and the CM has dried up. So I’m assuming it’s done! The interesting thing about clear blue was when I popped the stick out the holder yesterday, I’d never have called the line positive if they were normal OPKs! I think it’s common for some women to have a very very short peak, that potentially you’d miss on a test!

Sugarcube84 · 29/03/2025 16:29

I normally do 3 one morning but not first thing one after lunch say 1-2 and then again in the evening around 6-7 but that’s only when I know it’s coming from day 8 I usually do one just to check in still low and not missing an early ovulation, not that I’ve ever had that happen 😂

2dpo here 🙋‍♀️ telling myself I'm going to be chill about it this month but let's see how that pans out 😆

Haha yes I tell myself this every month too 😅 Lots of luck to you! 🤞

Nyxxie · 29/03/2025 09:47

jelliebean9 · 29/03/2025 07:53

I had a static smiley yesterday and really bad pains in the afternoon that wore off by the evening. So I’m saying I’m 1DPO today too! What day are you due your period? I’m holding out for the 12/4 to test as AF is due for me on the 11/4 🙏🙏 praying tww is kind on you 🩷

Ah sending you strength to hold out until then! Won’t be so long for me as I’ve been having a short luteal phase. No idea when AF is actually due, my cycle was messed up last month from having the flu so my luteal phase was only 7 days! I think I’ll end up testing if I make it to 10 or 11dpo, so around 8/4. Good luck! 🤞

Littledot2 · 29/03/2025 08:45

1DPO here so just starting the TWW. Anyone else?

Just joining you ladies, cycle 5 trying for first baby, three pregnancies, three losses. 18 months that's taken. Now I'll be on various medications next time so I both crave and dread a positive test. Good luck everyone.

peanutForever · 28/03/2025 22:08

@Roxanna2000well if you have a bunch of cheapies i know its pointless to test at 6dpo but no harm done 😂 especially if you see something and need to start thinning injections or if theres a slight chance you ovulated a lot earlier than you thought, otherwise can test in a few days...most of us lie to ourselves saying we wont test but we all do ahaha!
