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 🤞🏼

Definitely not one step! Though I was sure I got a flicker of a line this morning!

What tests do people recommend? I’ve been using the premom ones, but now I’m starting to think I might actually be pregnant, thinking of buying some more tests

GrapefruitZest · 25/07/2025 11:13

@EllieWales I’ve been feeling similar, heartburn on and off for a few days now. I used to get heartburn a lot a few years ago, but I’ve not had it since the last time I was pregnant recently when I miscarried, and before that I can’t remember when I last had it! I’ve also had that general unfit feeling too.
Ive noticed more CM this time, but when I was pregnant a few months ago I had nothing at this stage. It’s so hard to know what’s a genuine symptom and what’s me trying to find something.

EllieWales · 25/07/2025 11:01

Is anyone paying attention to CM? I don’t usually so I’m not sure what’s unusual or not for a ‘normal’ cycle. I feel like there’s more of it today when I’m wiping but again not sure if that’s normal/significant

EllieWales · 25/07/2025 10:48

I’m still having some cramps but nothing show stopping. I started getting heartburn yesterday which has continued into today, I haven’t had heartburn since I gave up alcohol two months ago. The feeling of breathlessness/unfitness (if that’s even a word) has also continued into today which is odd I often run 5-15k and wouldn’t consider myself to be unfit. I do feel a bit sniffly today so could be just that I’m coming down with something who knows!

EllieWales · 25/07/2025 10:43

@WF1990spotting is positive especially as you don’t usually spot in the run up to AF and I’ve read a lot about pulling/tugging sensations around implantation and it usually takes place between 6-10dpo I think so you’re still in the window of possibility! I’m also in the same boat with ordering tests, I should’ve ordered them sooner and feel it’s too late now so I’ll go to tesco and drop another £11 on two clear blue 6 days early tests 🫠

Hi @LovelyMuddleswere the same at 9dpo! I was planning on waiting until Sunday evening if this mornings test was negative as we’re camping this weekend but I already know full well I’m going to buy some tests to try again tomorrow morning.

LovelyMuddles · 25/07/2025 10:21

I used the one step ones but I’ve seen people online be weeks pregnant and barely getting a line. They also claim to be 10 in detection but apparently they’re not so who knows🥲

Oh really ? Did you use thenpremom ones @LovelyMuddles?
I hope you line darkens !!

im puzzled on my side I kind of want to order FRERS but also since AF is due tomorrow I don’t want to waste anymore money !

Good morning lovely ladies, I tested negative this morning at 9dpo. Thought there may be a tiny line on my line eyes but think I’m clutching. I’m aware it’s early so going to wait 2 days and use a FRER. Using an Amazon cheapie and reviews say they’re crap!

pink spotting upon wiping over here …. I’m wearing a pad but there’s nothing on the pad. Still very sore boobs radiating under the arm, but no cramps at all and no feeling that af is coming. Just a pulling sensation on the right side. Arrrrrg it’s so annoying!

@GrapefruitZest I am super excited for you !!!
And you’re both right @EllieWalesmaybe I need to wait a bit more, I tested with premom strips so it’s 10miu/L sensitivity, and there was no doubt there ! Stark white ! Only time will tell us I guess ! You’re still early at 9dpo !!

OP posts:
EllieWales · 25/07/2025 08:16

If the spotting yesterday was implantation @WF1990it could still be too early for a positive. What test did you use this morning? I used the clear blue 6 days early but it was stark white.

Theres still hope for us this month and if it’s not our month there’s always next month. At least we’ll have a couple weeks off symptom spotting (and stuffing my face like I’m eating for two 😂)

GrapefruitZest · 25/07/2025 08:09

@WF1990 there’s something there isn’t there! I’m 11dpo today. Trying (and failing) not to get too ahead of myself, but very excited to test again tomorrow and fingers crossed for a darker line. Definitely don’t count yourself out until AF arrives, 10dpo is early for a positive.

@EllieWalesyou and I in the same boat ! AF is due tomorrow, so I think I’m just going to wait ! But my boobs haven’t stopped being very sore for days now! So progesterone doesn’t seem on its way down yet. Maybe my luteal phase will be longer of a day !

OP posts:
EllieWales · 25/07/2025 07:48

BFN for me this morning as well at 9 dpo. There’s still time @WF1990youre not out until AF arrives!

EllieWales · 25/07/2025 07:47

I see it too @GrapefruitZest🎉

Good morning everyone, hoping to see some BFP’s today and over the weekend. Also congratulations @positivethoughts1🥳

EllieWales · 24/07/2025 22:00

I’m not telling DP about any symptoms because I’m playing it cool (😂) so I’m dumping them all here because I need to tell someone! I’m taking it all on the chin and prepared for it not to be my month so I might as well have fun and run with it while it lasts!

I didn’t watch love island for the first time this year after I got a bit bored with it but I’m obsessed with watching all the clips on insta (clearly not that bored of it) and I feel like I missed a good one this year

WF1990 · 24/07/2025 21:52

I don’t know if I’m more curious about my own symptoms or everybody else’s at that point 😂 I’m more invested in this group than love island atm 😂

Guys I know I sound nuts but all of a sudden tonight I feel my heart rate is elevated and I was breathless after going up the stairs. I know it’s super early but I remember breathlessness being a massive symptom of mine during my first pregnancy. My luteal phase RHR is usually 50-55 but after nearly an hour of rest it’s still high at 72. Could be a baby, could be coming down with something who knows at this point but I’ll be testing tomorrow morning at 9dpo no doubt 😅

WF1990 · 24/07/2025 19:33

@MegLSim 10dpo tomorrow too and I will of course test 😂 my luteal phase is 10/11 days

9DPO PM test…. Am I imagining it?????

Nope, I see pink!

MegLS · 24/07/2025 19:27

@EllieWales & @WF1990 thank you! Fingers crossed for you all too. I’m planning to test at 10dpo (if I can hold out that long!), my luteal phase is only usually 11-12 days.

@positivethoughts1 I can see it!
