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…

@Iris2024 I know what you mean. I think of all the times I've said no cause I'm too tired or can't be bothered. All the pressure is on them to perform and it is hard. Hopefully the sperm were sitting there waiting when the egg was released 🤞🏻

It got to a point with us where the sex wasn’t even fun anymore, become more of a chore. Was so pressuring and he’d say no because of how much he worked or wasn’t in the mood and I used to get really shit*y over it, because I knew we lost our chance for that month. am I the only one that felt this way?

I have zero chill and have already tested again! Going to enjoy this feeling while it lasts and try not to obsess too much..famous last words 🙃

For anyone else in the TWW, I have had no symptoms at all, despite looking out for any signs!

Edited

I knew I could see a line!! Congratulations such good news xxxx

Nice and strong 💪

@Iris2024 you've done what you can which is enough! The pressure is immense. Doing it peak day is great 👏🏻

@Emilym1609 I had typed out that I could see something on the second test before I scrolled down and saw your digital. Amazing news, congratulations 👏🏻

I hope so, I don’t feel we are BD enough but I don’t tell DP when fertile window etc as it puts too much pressure.

@Emilym1609 I definitely see that line, eeeekkkkkk

Emilym1609 · 04/05/2025 12:20

Thank you all ladies 😊 DH refuses to indulge my early testing 😅 and will only accept a digital result, so it's really helpful to be able to check with all of you!

FigPig · 04/05/2025 12:11

@Emilym1609 I see it!

@ChaE05 thank you! And no, no symptoms prior to the test. I was very calm and relaxed about symptom spotting and approach this month. Had a few drinks in the TWW (didn’t get drunk but didn’t abstain) and didn’t google obsessively.

2Sugars2 · 04/05/2025 11:38

@Emilym1609 I see a very faint line 🤞🏼 fingers crossed they darken for you.

Ohhhh @ttcjourney20001 your updates have my laugh bless you! What a story that will be in years to come!

@FigPig loved reading your updates and information about symptoms.. keep them coming! Congratulations.. love seeing this group get positives ✨✨

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 04/05/2025 11:24

@Emilym1609I can see a very faint line on the 10dpo test too! Fingers crossed for you! ✨️

Hi all,

Hope you're having a lovely long weekend!

Just wanted some line eyes please 🙏 I tested yesterday (9DPO) and was a BFN, as had the last couple of days! Today's test (10DPO) had a very faint line, which you can see more in person than in a photo. I'll upload the two tests side by side to compare.

I have a clear blue early detection digital that I will do tomorrow. One of the reasons I'm testing so early is that I have an underactive thyroid, which I discussed with my GP pre TTC and was advised to up my meds by 50% as soon as I have a positive test...

I think I'll up them from today as a precaution but any opinions on today's test welcomed 😊

I see a very faint line, hopefully will get stronger by tonight/tomorrow morning. Good luck xx

Hi ladies ❤️

Hope your all ok ❤️

@ttcjourney20001 I had some bleeding with my first and everything was fine, she is 6 now. It’s normal to get some bleeding so please try to enjoy your holiday. I’m sorry but I did laugh at your story in the toilets in Marbella 🤣

@FigPig congratulations lovely 🥰

This cycle we only managed to BD 4 days before ovulation and peak day. Wanted to BD last night and other half had bad stomach and we tried this morning as DD at my Mums and he couldn’t finish 😳😩 this never happens. Think it’s the pressure 😩

Im worried I’m out already!

It was very humbling to say the least, was amongst Ferraris and rolls Royce’s parked at the marina, then there was me choking on raspberries in the toilet🤣🤣💀

New Year’s Day, what a birthday to have. My birthday was on April 9th, got lucky with the other half, 2 weeks later, BFP. Another story to tell the little one 🤣🤣🙈

ChaE05 · 04/05/2025 09:02

@FigPigyou were on another thread I started last month! I'm soooo pleased to see you got your bfp 🥳 amazing news. I'm currently 6dpo. Did you have any signs you might be pregnant?! X

Oh I’m so glad @FlyHighSky72! Knew you’d get there.

Positive again today and on a digital on 9dpo. Posting in case anyone finds my lines or experience useful - literally no symptoms at all until I tested positive. All the other months, I’d be looking for cramps, twinges, exhaustion etc. My boobs are now pretty sore but they always are before a period so I wouldn’t have counted it had I not got a positive. I do now have a funny taste in my mouth and feel a bit spacey.

At 8dpo my lines were faint but clear to the eye - less clear on a photo. The CB early response was the weakest. FRER was instant but faint. Premom the same.

Anyway I’ll stop rambling!

Huge congratulations. I love seeing everyone get their positives 🥰♥️

Just to add, the quality of those images has really gone down since uploading but very clear on my phone and in real life!
