Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🀞🏼

@Kayleaaa ahhh okay that sounds good to me, thank you for the advice! 😊 We will see how I get on with it this first month.

Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 20:03

@Lh4503 It's worth doing in my opinion as it's a one time cost and you don't have to pee on anything πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Super useful to tell if AF is coming for me, as its crazy how far my temperature plummets right before she arrives so it saves me the extra costs of last minute expensive digital tests!

Lh4503 · 26/07/2025 17:50

@LovelyMuddles I can deffo see something!! 🀞🀞

@Kayleaaa @WF1990 I dont usually temp but I may start this month as I've heard it can help track if progesterone rises. Wasn't planning on doing it ever but tbh im onto cycle no 8 im losing hope and I've convinced myself there's something wrong with me πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

EmPeEf · 26/07/2025 17:37

@LovelyMuddles can definitely see a pink line on there 🀞🏻

Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 17:23

LovelyMuddles · 26/07/2025 15:41

@Kayleaaa Thanks! When I darken it I can see something too! I’m guessing only time will tell.

When its darkened its a super obvious line! I hope tomorrow confirms as looks like a bfp to me!

Hi lovelies, can anyone see a second line on this?😬😬 have been feeling off again today so decided to check using an internet cheapie. Think I see something! Only 10dpo

I think I see something too!

Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 13:10

@WF1990 oh definitely! The only time we DTD unprotected this month (as meant to be a break) was 16 days ago, wasn't fully tracking but app thinks I ovulated 18 days ago but I had my usual ovulation signs 15 days ago. Hard to keep track of as didn't use opks or bbt this month, so having to just make an assumption on my dpo!
I totally agree with you, I want to take ibuprofen for the cramps haha

WF1990 · 26/07/2025 12:54

@Kayleaaa is there a change you could have ovulated later ?? You might be super accurate with temping though.
test again tomorrow ??
I had bought the thermometer for temping but then the opks were already so much work that I gave up πŸ˜‚
im going to wait a few days and test should my period not come properly. I’m to the point where I just want it to arrive properly now tbh!

OP posts:
Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 12:51

@WF1990 I think it's worth doing! To be really accurate you need to do it the same time before you get up, but I find mine stays the same all day!
Thanks! I'm in a complete mix of emotions as the test I took yesterday was the cheap Clear and Simple strips and because they're not my usual and I'm trying to convince myself it must have been dodgy tests haha

WF1990 · 26/07/2025 12:33

@Kayleaaai think I need to start temping !! I’ve never done it before so I wouldn’t know my baseline ! This sounds so promising for you though !!!

OP posts:
Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 12:11

@WF1990 I'm glad you're still in but the waiting is worse! Do you check bbt? I just checked my temp out of curiosity and its 37.1, my baseline is always around 36.4 and drops to atleast 36.6 the day before/of AF πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Giving me hope when there probably isn't any!

WF1990 · 26/07/2025 11:13

Massive congratulations @positivethoughts1!!

well, AF isn’t showing up actually, I’m back on spotting and not filling anywhere near a pad. It’s only when I wipe but it’s red with mucus…
I also have super sore boobs. I might take a test in a couple of days if af doesn’t come properly but red implantation bleeding is very unlikely !

Lh4503 · 26/07/2025 11:09

Awww @WF1990 so sorry that this wasn't the month! Hope AF is OK!

@positivethoughts1 Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

Kayleaaa · 26/07/2025 10:50

@positivethoughts1 huge congratulations!

15dpo and no AF πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Don't want to waste money on tests incase she shows considering BFN yesterday, so a bit of limbo!

MegLS · 26/07/2025 09:47

I failed miserably at waiting until 10dpo, tested this morning at 8dpo and surprise surprise - stark white negative! Still no real symptoms other than my boobs not hurting at all when they usually do for my full luteal phase, so not sure what’s going on there. Got my fingers crossed for everyone else!

@positivethoughts1 huge congratulations!!πŸ’•

WF1990 · 26/07/2025 08:24

Hey ladies ! After spotting pink all day yesterday af arrived this morning so that’s me out !
@EllieWalesive got everything crossed for you !!

OP posts:
EllieWales · 26/07/2025 08:11

Thanks @GrapefruitZestI think I’m going to wait and see if AF arrives on Monday now and take it from there (unless I wake up tomorrow and decide to test which is very likely). It’s only our first cycle TTC properly this time around so it was wishful thinking anyway πŸ˜… and congratulations, happy to be seeing some BFP in here ❀️

@positivethoughts1congratulations mama! That’s amazing news πŸŽ‰

positivethoughts1 · 26/07/2025 08:04

Hi ladies, thank you all for your responses. This was this morning at 11DPO and had a β€œpregnant” result yesterday at 10DPO with a clear blue digital intro early!

im keeping my fingers crossed for everyone in the thread 🀞 this was our first month temping and OPKs so it looks like that has made a difference!

GrapefruitZest · 26/07/2025 07:11

I think it might be a bit early still, implantation could be happening today. I read that you shouldn’t really test before 12dpo (not that it stopped me, testing from 7 days πŸ˜…).
If it makes you feel any better my 10dpo was without doubt negative, and I’ve been getting VFL on different brands for the past two days. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

EllieWales · 26/07/2025 06:08

I think that’s me out this month another bfn this morning on a clear blue ultra early at 10dpo

WF1990 · 25/07/2025 13:13

@EllieWalesdont worry if I’m negative tomorrow after all this I’ll definitely consider I’ve lost the plot too just in time for the weekend 🀣🀣🀣

OP posts:
EllieWales · 25/07/2025 12:41

@GrapefruitZestthank you for making me feel more sane! I haven’t had heartburn for so long and it’s awful. Making me feel hopeful given your line this morning though 🀞

@WF1990from what I’ve read online CM is meant to dry up at this stage so a return to sticky/EW could be a good sign! I can’t wait to test again tomorrow even though every negative feels like a BIG reminder that I’m probably just losing the plot 🀣

WF1990 · 25/07/2025 12:06

@EllieWalesi have my fingers crossed for both of us !
I went toilet and when I wiped (I know sorry TMI) I had EWCM mixed with brown and pink blood ! Nothing on the pad.
I feel like I’m cramping a bit though so my optimism is fading!
I agree @GrapefruitZestsometimes I think I have a new symptoms but then I look back on my Flo app and I had the exact same symptoms when I wasn’t pregnant πŸ˜‚
@LovelyMuddlesi think I can see something v v v faint ! 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼
