@amey44 oh I have no self restraint so I would probably test 😬 Decide which option is going to give you the most peace/less stress, though!

I wasted a FRER on 8dpo today because I’m silly 🙃

Same I brought a pack of 3 fr an said I wasn’t gonna use them until I had a line on the cheapies but still used them all😬

If af doesn’t arrive by Monday then I think i’ll get a test even though I don’t know if it’s possible for me to get a positive now tbh

Currently fighting the urge to test 😣 I last tested Wednesday with a fr and it was bfn but am due AF today or tomorrow and haven’t had any signs of it starting yet so i’m soooo tempted to go buy more tests 😬

Girls, am I seeing things. I’ve had such bad indents in the past. DP away to get our guests, running late from airport. Took test when he left, I think there’s a vvvvf line. Took another just now, bottom test. Is that a vvvvfl? What do you think? Please be honest.

I can see the line! Maybe the clear blue isn’t as sensitive or ur urine was more dilute

SureLook · 01/08/2025 18:25

@ForGiddyDreamer I can definitely see something on the second test. Fingers crossed it darkens and it's not an indent 🤞🏻

@ChaE05 that's great about the appointment 👏🏻

@MummySam2017 that's very annoying. I hate the stop starting. Hopefully full flow comes soon.

FarAwayBird · 01/08/2025 18:12

Sorry @MummySam2017 it’s so stressful, isn’t it?

Ohhh @ForGiddyDreamer I hope so desperately that it’s a real positive for you.

I went and grabbed a CB ultra early (the one with the red tip). It says Not Pregnant. I think I've the worst luck with tests.

Did another easy at home alongside it and it has a second time. Must be the tests. I'll keep the FRER for the morning.

Mummysparrow · 01/08/2025 17:16

@ForGiddyDreameri find that easy@home pregnancy tests are terrible for indents and not the most sensitive of tests. I do see something. Do you have any other tests to hand?

Ash2345f · 01/08/2025 17:12

@ForGiddyDreamer fingers crossed for you I had no CM whatsoever this time and tested positive didn’t think I was pregnant in the slightest

ForGiddyDreamer · 01/08/2025 16:37

I’ll be bouncing out of bed for that FRER in the morning. I hope it doesn’t crush me. Nope, no cm at all @ChaE05 I did with the chemical in March. I wasn’t paying attention to cm with the Jan/Feb pregnancy so am not sure.

ChaE05 · 01/08/2025 16:30

@ForGiddyDreamerthe fact you got a negative on that brand this morning and now you have 2 positives! I'm buzzing for you. I bet you just can't believe it! But clearly 8dpo was implantation. Would make sense to just get your faint positive at 10dpo! And no CM you say? As that has always been a very clear indicator of pregnancy for me. Gives me hope lol x

ForGiddyDreamer · 01/08/2025 16:25

Yes negative on one this morning. Just felt prompted to retest. Are you both sure @ChaE05 @DoubleDandelion after so many idents I don’t trust my eyes. I’ve one FRER that I will keep for tomorrow

DoubleDandelion · 01/08/2025 16:20

I see it @ForGiddyDreamer! That and the cramping at 8DPO sounds very promising to me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

ChaE05 · 01/08/2025 16:19

@ForGiddyDreamerstoopppp those are so clear! This doesn't look like an indent. Did you test negative with one of these this morning? Ahhhhh!!! 😍

ForGiddyDreamer · 01/08/2025 16:08

Are these known for indents? I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. You've seen my bad indents with CB. I am freaking out.

@LuckyDuck93 My OH loves that line, it irritates me massively. I don’t think he understands that even one hour feels like a day during the TWW.

So the past week has been an absolute mindfuck for me. I took a test the other day, round about when my period was due and it was a BFN, followed by some brown blood. I made my peace with it and expected AF to be in full swing very soon. The brown spotting has stopped today, still a BFN and no period. I still don’t think I am pregnant but the not knowing is killing me. I felt a lot better the other day when I thought I’d come on, now I just feel sick and anxious 😞.

LuckyDuck93 · 01/08/2025 14:15

@ForGiddyDreamer I think when you know your own body so well its hard not to count yourself out isnt it, I'm sorry its a BFN for you today, its a bloody awful journey to be on, I hope your weekend guests can take your mind off it a little!
Ahh the famous "just relax", my husband loves that phrase, I wonder if they were testing hundreds of times a month and living their life in two week windows if they could relax 😂

ForGiddyDreamer · 01/08/2025 14:07

That's great your appointment is little over a month away. I'm waiting for my GP to confirm my blood tests for the next cycle and then hopefully my referral won't be long 🤞I feel similar to yourself. I'll be 38 in February and if I'm not pregnant by then, we'd be just over a year trying. I'm just so frustrated. Having been pregnant twice this year already it's driving me up the wall that it's not happening. If DP tells me to relax one more time I'll murder him 😂

ChaE05 · 01/08/2025 13:46

@ForGiddyDreamerugh 😩 I would say you're not out until AF arrives but you are just like me. In tune with our bodies and I always know I'm out before AF. If the signs aren't there I know I'm not pregnant. It's fucking shitttt isn't it. We are basically on the same timeline. I've just had my fertility phone call appointment though. It's 40 mins apparently. For the 8th Sept so not long to wait. I'll see if there are any tests they can offer me through NHS or any type of treatment before I have to think about IVF. If we aren't pregnant by Jan I think we need to start looking into those options. Il be closer to 39 then and been trying for over a year. Hate this bloody journey. Hope you're okay xx

ForGiddyDreamer · 01/08/2025 12:27

10dpo and said I wouldn't but yet I did: BFN. Our visitors are arriving for 3pm so just going to try not to think about it and get on with the long weekend. The cramping I had at 8dpo has now subsided but I've no other symptoms like I did with the February pregnancy. And without tmi I've basically no CM. So while I don't take my advice about not being out until AF shows, I am pretty sure I'm out this month. AF due Tuesday or Wednesday for me. I'm so sick of this.

FarAwayBird · 01/08/2025 01:13

@Esssa Oh that’s good you’ve got something to distract you over the weekend.
8dpo today and suddenly very impatient! Will probably pee on a stick to get it out of my system 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ForGiddyDreamer Oh I’m glad to hear he’s doing better! 🐶 Such a worry. It’s so hard seeing newborn photos, isn’t it? Your time will come soon! 🤞

@YKM2829 Thanks for the solidarity! It would definitely be nice to have 9 months off PMDD. Your approach this month seems wise. Like… don’t rule anything out but don’t put any pressure on yourselves. I hope you’re doing okay ❤️

Congratulations @Ash2345f

@ZAB1908 sorry about your loss. It can fluctuate depending on how hydrated you are and how long you've held your wee for. As giddy dreamer said look out for EWCM and keep testing to find out.

@Ash2345f oh, I can definitely see that! Tentative congratulations ❤️

@YKM2829 you've a lot to be dealing with ❤️ I totally get you not testing and just going with the flow. No harm doing LH just to make sure things are settling. I totally relate to wanting to wake up six months pregnant. The BFP is only the start of the journey.

YKM2829 · 30/07/2025 19:45

I'm not testing hcg again this month. Even with my chemical pregnancy from last week, I feel less stressed about it all when I don't test untill I'm a day late for AF.
I mean we aren't actively trying this month and giving ourselves time but also just going with how we feel at the time. If we wanna we will you know.
Have tested LH 2 days ago very faint and today a fair bit darker so getting close to ovulation I hope 🤞🤞 just to make sure my cycle sorts it self out after the chemical.

That's pretty much me for a while. I'm exhausted and drained and just wanna wake up one day and be 6 months pregnant and past any worrying stage 😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi I am TTC baby #2 after having an ectopic pregnancy in June which resulted in me having emergency surgery to remove my right fallopian tube. I was hoping someone could help me as I am new to tracking ovulation. Here is my tracking so far. Is it normal to go up/down before reaching a high/peak? Also my cycle is usually about 32 days, at what point do you think I should expect to ovulate? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I had the same but it was my left tube, in January and yeah I find I often will go a bit up and down on the dip tests a couple days or even up to a week of like slightly darkening then fadining, u till I get an obvious super dark one.

And @ForGiddyDreamer is pretty spot on there with that advice.

After tracking for a couple months I've found I hit peak around cd13 to 14 and peak around CD16. My lutuel phase has been 11 days for 7 months since the ectopic but I was hitting 13 14 and 15 days previous. My cycle is and always has been around 26 to 28 days. So sometimes slightly shorter. I'll have a period for like 5 to sometimes 7 days though quite heavy. X
