Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

@Renee33sorry can’t see my original comment - are you talking about Proceive?

Renee33 · 05/05/2025 08:15

@FlyHighSky72 don’t like how it makes my wee look acidic yellow 🤮

I second this, with fair warning

i hope it is positive for you @jelliebean9but I had one that looked incredibly similar to this last month and it turned out to be a false positive and they’re supposedly notorious for it, double check again in a few days but i’ve got my fingers crossed for you🤞🏼❤️

Thanks for the advice lovely. I def think it’s taking everything with a pinch of salt this early! I will be cautiously optimistic until my missed period at the end of the week 🥰

@peanutForever exciting!

@jelliebean9 I can definitely see a line but no colour. I know you said you can see colour in person. The camera isn't great at picking up these things sometimes. It would be definitely normal to be that faint at this stage though. Will you test again tomorrow morning?

@devma would you normally have a bit of spotting in your cycle? It's so hard to know what's going on sometimes.

No not usually, I think this is the first time ive ever bled after DTD, so exhausting going round in circles 😩 I guess i’ve just got to sit this week out and pretend nothings happening until I can check, though i’m not expecting a positive x

Thomsonetthompson · 05/05/2025 07:52

@ThisZippyViewer @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I asked this a few months ago - unanimous response was OD is day after peak, then next day is 1DPO.

@jelliebean9 congratulations!

jelliebean9 · 05/05/2025 06:44

It’s dried now. I think it’s positive 🥹

Aww 🥰 I see it!! Congratulations xx

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 05/05/2025 07:47

@ThisZippyViewer I'm interested in this also! My peak was yesterday evening! Is ovulation today (roughly), so 1dpo tomorrow?

ThisZippyViewer · 05/05/2025 07:31

Those who aren’t tracking BBT - do you consider ovulation day day after peak - so if my peak was Thurs am I 3dpo today? X

jelliebean9 · 05/05/2025 06:38

10dpo, I can see a line. But I think it’s an indent or an evap, it looks like it’s got colour in person. I’ve never had any form of line this early. So I’m not sure if this is just normal for this early?! What do we think?!

I can definitely see a faint line..how exciting!!!

FlyHighSky72 · 05/05/2025 07:07

Exciting @jelliebean9i can def see that line

@jelliebean9 sorry, I posted my reply before your second picture. I would say that's definitely positive. Congratulations ❤️

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 05/05/2025 06:45

@jelliebean9I can see it (sometimes I really can't when people insist it's there!).. I would think it's normal for 10dpo but I've never taken one of these tests (FRER?). When is AF due? Hopefully it darkens up for you!

Yeah this is the early response first response ones! It’s 10dpo, period would be due Thursday or Friday! I’ll be tentatively happy for now, I’ll rest on Thursday with the second first response and see how the line progression is! Thank you 🩷

It’s dried now. I think it’s positive 🥹

Ahhh 🥰 wonderful news!

devma · 05/05/2025 06:48

So 5 dpo (Saturday) we DTD, nothing crazy but afterward i was bleeding (pink blood for about a minute or two) and ever since then my uterus feels super heavy and crampy.

I’m 7dpo today (monday) so ive got ages til I test, and honestly I feel like I don’t want to because I already know this month isnt the one😩 the bleeding and the sensations have put me right in the mindset that I categorically don’t believe anything has happened this month 😓

I have never been so excited for my AF to arrive! CD1 and il call this my first 'official' cycle ttc no.2

SureLook · 04/05/2025 22:41

@FlyHighSky72 today could be your peak or it could be coming tomorrow morning. I would test again tomorrow. If it goes darker then that's probably your peak. Or if it goes lighter then today was your peak. I tested again this evening after my high result earlier and it changed it to peak on the app cause it's already coming down. The only way to confirm ovulation would be if you were tracking BBT as well. I would DTD tonight, just to cover it!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I would say you've hit your peak. Mine said high until I tested again and it's had gone down so it changed the high to peak. Great that you're BDing tonight 👏🏻

@YKM2829 we argued on Friday so didn't BD. I was fuming!

@Disneybride I don't know anything about Letrozole. Would that have anything to do with the spotting?

Disneybride · 04/05/2025 21:46

Hi all, I am 4dpo on Letrozole with PCOS. Have regulated cycle over past 6 months, but had pink spotting today, too early for implantation I know!
