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…

Did a test today 8DPO and now convincing myself that I can see something even though it’s definitely my eyes or just an indent (as was after the time frame). It’s the same every month 🙈

I don't want to give you false hope, but from my experience if I THINK i can see something I usually can!! Have you tried a different brand of test to see if its more visible?

@AlbatrossSociety I know, this thread is flying along! Will you test before you fly on Saturday?

@Muddysocks1 I don't think I can see anything but that could just be me and it's still super early!

I'm trying to decide whether to test on Saturday am😫. I'll be 11DPO then won't I so would probably be coming up on a test? I don't usually test early but I think my current feeling is if my temp is still high on Saturday morning then I'll test. The flight is quite early and I don't wanna be feeling really shit in the airport rush as I'm doing it solo with the 2 year old 🙃 but that might just be unavoidable

Cd14 today and going by tests my cb ovulation came up positive yesterday which seems about right. It's since the start of my mc bleeding I've been counting as a cycle. Only dtd twice this week. Otherwise going on holiday on a couple of days and trying to relax before my period comes back and can hopefully get a successful bfp. My mc was only last week but I feel like my body just craves to be pregnant again 🥺

Ec2808 · 08/05/2025 14:58

@Muddysocks1 really hope this is the beginning of our bfp!!!

Just got off phone to midwife, she’s seeing if I can be pushed through for an immediate appointment because I’m throwing up yellow bile and am avoiding food because I know it’ll come straight back up. She said she can administer some anti sickness if I want them

I honestly think it’s probably my eyes and it’s almost embarrasing to post.. I think it is just an indent if it’s anything at all.. I’ll have to test again tomorrow. Actually looking back at my tests pre Bfp last month, there are a couple of shadows in the two days before but not consistently (obviously I did multiple per day) so maybe it could lead to something.

I swear I can see something. Fingers crossed xx

Ah @FigPigthanks for that!! Hoping mine is long enough to catch!

def post a pic @Muddysocks1

AlbatrossSociety · 08/05/2025 14:40

This thread is moving so fast this month!! Can't keep up!

@ttcjourney20001 sorry you're having such a rough time with sickness, sounds horrendous.

@Muddysocks1 honestly I've never been able to convince myself that I can see anything at all, just stark white. Post a pic and we can see if we all have line eyes.

I'm 9DPO today, my luteal phase is usually 12 days so AF due on Sunday. I'm flying long haul on Saturday so I'm sure that will mess things up. I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot, but it's so hard. I'm not really looking forward to finding out while so far away from DP but at least on holiday there'll be lots of other things to focus on.

Post a picture!

@FlyHighSky72 my luteal phase is an average of 11 days.

Line eyes or deception is the WORST. lost count of how many times I’ve waved a test in front of my other half and been like “it’s there!!! You’re just not looking hard enough” making me look like a crazy scientist or something. 💀

I always had a theory that in the TWW if I had a really hot bath then it would like exterminate the sperm inside, literally like boil them to the point they evaporate, always was convinced that was the case. In this TWW I didn’t have a bath and I caught straight away, might just be a huge coincidence

How cool is cool? I’m used to like the burning pits of hell kind of hot so probably have no concept of cool

I think a good marker is if it doesn’t make your skin read! I also love really hot baths, but TWW have had them much cooler

when would you guys say that a negative test means youre out? 11 or 12 dpo?

i’m 11dpo tomorrow and i really cant say i feel any different and I dont want to test again if its inconclusive, ive heard 12dpo negatives massively decrease the likelihood of success

I think i’ve sort of accepted this isnt our cycle, it just feels like a dud without me even having conclusive evidence😂 especially when im torturing myself watching peoples tiktoks of getting bfp’s🤣

I mean I’m a maniac and tested at 6,7, 8 and 10 and got a BFN, told myself I was out until my actual period was missed, at around 14dpo I got my positive. Moral of the story - everyone’s different, some get BFN at 8DPI but some get positive. Some don’t get positive until 14,15 DPO xxx

SureLook · 08/05/2025 14:21

@devma I'd probably wait until AF is due/late to say you're out. On my DD is had the faintest BFP when AF was due. So faint that I dismissed it!

SureLook · 08/05/2025 14:19

😂😂😂 if it feels cold to you then it's probably OK!
