@ttcjourney20001def agree it looks darker

@SureLookI’m not sure I can call mine bfps yet these were my tests this morning 😊the middle test was with 2nd morning urine and other two i kinda forced a wee out 10 minutes after😅 I just done another ic too and couldn’t really see anything on it :/
I’ll still test tomorrow though really hoping it’s not a faulty test xx

@ttcjourney20001defo darker! Hope that reassures you a bit xx

Thanks @SureLook just ordered some!

@TruthUnwinding sorry to hear of your losses. Sounds like you're doing everything possible 🤞🏻

@am44a I had implantation bleeding with both my previous pregnancies. Both around 10/11dpo. Pale pink that faded off as the day went on. Only there when I wiped. I also got BFPs when I had the bleeding. Test again in the morning 🤞🏻

@YKM2829 oooh, test again tomorrow!

@ttcjourney20001 definitely darker, 100%!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I got the easy@home as recommended on here.

@ttcjourney20001 definitely darker 👌 I think it's normal for symptoms intensity to vary from day to day.

@SureLook and @BerrieSweet thank you girls 💖

Ok.... just noticed my ovulation tests had an expiry date of Feb 2024 on them 🤣 which are the best to get or does it not matter?

Hey everyone. Symptoms aren’t as severe today, nausea is there in the pre evening and first thing when I wake up, tiredness and fatigue but nothing else really. Trying not to worry myself too much as I’ve got trauma from the last two losses. Took a test at the crack of dawn this morning and I think it’s darker than the test I took (top) two days ago. What do you guys think!l do you think I’m being too anxious? It’s just my symptoms aren’t always there I feel better today but when I’ve previously lost symptoms I’ve lost them. Bittersweet feeling

Question in relation to uploading the OPKs onto the Premom app. I set a timer for five minutes and check it then. It's still a bit wet looking at that point. Are you waiting until it's fully dry before taking the picture or do you take it at the five minute mark? I checked today's one a few minutes later and it was fully dry and a bit darker. Thanks 😊

Sorry @MayaB if you want to test then do but wait till morning so you get the most accurate result.

8dpo today so did a quick test, maybe potentially 0.001% chance of a faint line 😅😅😅 but I don't know So can't see it and says if it's difficult to see normally it doesn't count.
Still early days though yet 🤞

Thank you x

Hi Dreamymama, think it depends on which type you are using. Also, depends on usual cycle length so just follow what it says on the box and you'll be fine. X

Ooh that's quite a history, wishing you every success this time x

Finally got my periods 3 days ago. On cycle 2 of trying for baby #2. Ovulation predicted 11th May! When do I start doing the ovulation tests?

@peanutForeverYeah I assumed it was stretching at first as i’ve had light on off cramps for a few days now. Atm it kinda is feeling very stretched, gassy and warm tingly types of cramps but then i’m also getting the odd cramps that are exactly like period ones:(.
Idk if I want to get my hopes up again as it feels so unlikely i’m pregnant as i’ve never been before yet:( xx

@am44adont forget your uterus also stretches lots in the beginning so feels like cramps, is its light pink/dark brown then i would put it down to implantation bleeding especially at 11dpo, so try not to be too upset..everything sounds normal at this stage unless the spotting turns into a period xx

Hey lady’s :) has anyone here had implantation bleeding before? I’m 11dpo (rough guess as I didn’t track but going off cm) I tested this morning and got a faint line on a one step test so done two more with a forced wee as I was excited and the lines obviously were hardly there but shown inverted. Anyway I walked around all day today on cloud 9 thinking i’m pregnant just to come home and have bleeding and cramps:( I don’t know if it’s my period I assumed it was however it’s very pale pink? When I first wiped tmi but it was like abit of dark blood with cm.
The cramps r kinda like period cramps probs more central but tbh im insane at this point so am most likely over thinking!

Just feeling so deflated and done every month I get my hopes up and it’s always so heartbreaking. I also always have really long cycles so I was not expecting or mentally prepared to get my period this early :( xx

I'm going to join again this month. Had two losses (14 weeks and 10 weeks), and 2 chemicals pregnancies within 24 months, and am 37 with no children. So I am doing ALL THE THINGS this month.

Vitamins: CoQ10, Omega 3, Magnesium, Folate, Iron, Vit D, Probiotics

Tried ovulation tests for the first time this month and seem to be 1/2DPO.
I'm with a clinic and a fertility specialist and going to try progesterone and baby aspirin starting in a few days. I'm going to limit caffeine and sugar, and not drink alcohol. Exercising regularly too XD

I conceived this time of year for the past two years, so I'm giving it a good go. (I think it's because I'm a lecturer and work stops being so stressful at this time of year).

Also feeling the fear because I'm 37, but also know lots of people who have had lovely babies at this age. Despite this, trying to be as chilled as I can be!

Oh sweetheart, I understand it feels tough! I’m feeling the same way and I’m only 5 DPO 🙁 Do whatever feels best for you ❤️

I am 11dpo today and I just know I am not pregnant. Feeling all the pms symptoms that I normally do. I don't normally test early but wondering if I should just test now, see the negative and be done with it, rather than just wait to get my AF. 😪

Thanks @MayaBthat makes sense

@FlyHighSky72 The Fertility Bundle is the multivitamins plus Omega and it's around £70 a month I think, which is why I have subscribed to the multivitamin only and that's around £34 (and around £38 for one-off purchase if I remember correctly). I use the Omega 3 from time to time because when I add the probiotoc and Q10 and a few other things it just becomes so pricey! 😫
But with Omega 3 and all types of fish oils, we need to be very careful where we get them from and if they have been properly tested for heavy metals. Otherwise, they can do more harm than good. This is why I would pay a little more. The good brands who do extensive testing are usually more expensive xx

Morning everyone! Ive had a sharp rise today (7am) at CD13 to 0.69 on my Wondfo strips, at 12am its risen to 1.06.
My digital Clearblue however is showing a blank circle, we BD early yesterday morning (1am) and we’re planning to today aswell.

i’m going to go by my strips because they’re super dark but I was wondering if anyone else had the same experience with the digitals? X

I'm the same 😅 boobs sore, really hungry and tired, it's gotta be 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️
