Omg @EllieWales!!!!! I can deffo see a line 🙊🙊 Doesn't look like an evap line to me, it's clearly blue and is the not a thin line 😃 keep us updated as you do more tests 🥰 so excited for you!

@bigbaggybluesorry your feeling like AF is on the way! Good your looking ahead to next month though 🙂

bigbaggyblue · 31/10/2025 07:17

@EllieWalesomg I see it I see it! Aww so happy for you!!!

EllieWales · 31/10/2025 06:28

I don't want to get too excited but RHR has increased again this morning and BBT has shot up as well so did a test and there’s a vvvvfl and it appeared within 1-2 minutes of taking the test. I know CB is notorious for evaps so I’m not getting too excited but this is the first test I’ve done that hasn’t been a BFN in almost a year of trying

@EllieWalesI know it’s really disappointing but I’m already looking at getting some more ovulation tests for next month so thinking ahead 😂. I really hope though that we both get a lovely surprise!

EllieWales · 30/10/2025 21:26

Aww sorry @bigbaggyblue, it’s so hard when you get strong signs! I’ve been cramping on and off today and still having some odd shooting pains, if RHR and BBT start dropping tomorrow I will accept AF is on the way. I’ve prepared myself for it now after this mornings BFN.

bigbaggyblue · 30/10/2025 21:15

I’ve got a horrible headache this evening which is very normal for me around my period so not at all promising 🙁

Lh4503 · 30/10/2025 09:40

@EllieWales I'm so sorry you had a BFN this morning 😥 It's even worse when you get symptoms and know it feels different. It's so cruel like our bodies play games. Sending hugs ❤️

@bigbaggyblue worst thing is you actually cant trust any symptoms. Ive had sore boobs on pregnant and non pregnant cycles nothing is consistent!

bigbaggyblue · 30/10/2025 07:08

@EllieWalesaww no! It’s so hard isn’t it! Im not bothering testing, ive woke up and my boobs don’t even feel that sore this morning at all so I cant be pregnant 🙁 period in 4 days

EllieWales · 30/10/2025 06:11

Another BFN for me this morning at 11dpo 😔 I know not to let myself get too hopeful but this cycle has felt different. Feeling a bit deflated this morning!

bigbaggyblue · 29/10/2025 20:00

@Lh4503ita the nausea part that I won’t look forward to when the time comes! My daughter is 2.5 and she’s still attached to me day and night apart from nursery twice a week, there’d be no lounging on the sofa and in bed by 7 this time around 😂. I think I’m already caving and going to do a cheap test in the morning 😂😂😂

EllieWales · 29/10/2025 19:36

@Lh4503 aww that’s a nice age, I bet she’ll love to help out with looking after her baby brother/sister! Honestly it’s so hard to find the right time, I wish now that we’d just tried straight away and go it out of the way. Now our son is becoming a little bit easier (as in I can pee on my own and quickly run upstairs to grab something without being screamed at) part of me is dreading going back to the baby stage but it will be lovely when the time comes ☺️ we know how quick it goes!

Lh4503 · 29/10/2025 15:16

@EllieWales Oh gosh yes, they are so full on at that age! Luckily my daughter is 6 now so even though shes busy and says muuum like 5000 times an hour 🤣 she is quite independent. I made the mistake of not trying for no2 until she got to age 3 and that was such a hard age I just felt like I couldn't cope with having another baby, it wasn't until she hit 5 it got easier! 🙈

EllieWales · 29/10/2025 13:27

@bigbaggyblue you’ll do well to wait until Saturday! Hoping you get your BFP.

@Lh4503 that’s interesting you didn’t have anything on a Premom at 5 weeks last time, I wonder if they’re just not very sensitive or if HCG was low? Either way it’s surely positive you have a stronger line this time around and that you’re feeling it. I totally forgot about the debilitating tiredness you get in early pregnancy 😩 I’m not looking forward to that (if it ever happens 😅) especially with a super busy 2 year old to look after 🤮

Lh4503 · 29/10/2025 11:29

Yes im going to wait until im past 6 weeks this time. I took a Premom HCG test this morning, even when I was over 5 weeks last time I had ZERO line on them, I thought they were rubbish but this is today's, not even FMU. So hormones/HCG must be rising much better this time 🤞 and tbh I feel like it too 😴

@EllieWales Omg it's all looking so promising!! Im really excited for you, I so hope this is your month! 🤞

@bigbaggyblue Sorry about your BFN today, it's still early though so do t lose hope yet.

bigbaggyblue · 29/10/2025 11:09

@Lh4503i agree with Ellie and just don’t contact them yet! 😁

bigbaggyblue · 29/10/2025 11:04

@EllieWalesarrr it’s so frustrating 😂 if my boobs weren’t sore for the past 4/5 days I wouldn’t even think anything of it/be testing but I’m sure this isn’t normal for me which is getting my hopes up. No point testing tomorrow and im work Friday early so won’t have chance then so Saturday morning I’ll use the other clearblue!

EllieWales · 29/10/2025 09:37

@bigbaggyblue mine was negative this morning too but 10dpo is early and mine was technically SMU as I got up at 3am to pee, I couldn’t hold it until the morning 😂 I think there’s still hope for us yet! I need to get more tests today.

@Lh4503 my BBT has rebounded today and I never get a dip like that in my LP, it could be nothing but it aligns with implantation timing if we did conceive. I’ve also had a notification on Apple health this morning to say my RHR is trending higher the last 5 days and I’ve never seen that before. My LP RHR is usually around 55 but it’s up at 60 this LP. Keeping busy is the best thing you can do and keep your mind off it as much as you can (easier said than done). Maybe don’t contact mat services until 6/7 weeks it seems to be a bad omen 😂 it’s exciting!

bigbaggyblue · 29/10/2025 08:07

Negative clear blue ultra early this morning 🙁 10dpo

Lh4503 · 28/10/2025 08:47

@EllieWales oooh sounds good, on the pregnancy I was tracking BBT I had a dip of 9dpo too then some pink/brown spotting around 10/11dpo and shooting pains. So sounds really promising. Apparently the best time to test is around 12dpo as some people implant a bit later. 🤞🤞 for you and @bigbaggyblue 🥰

I'm okay, it is starting to sink in now, but my brains just thinking about last time. The next two weeks will be hard as I lost
both previously around 5 weeks 4 days. Trying to keep busy and not think too much. On both previously I also lost them once I reached out to maternity services so im too afraid to do that too. 😆

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 08:34

How are you feeling today @Lh4503 has it sunk in yet?

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 08:33

I think AF is due in about 5/6 days for me too so we’re only on the cusp of early detection now really @bigbaggyblue we’ll have an answer soon!

bigbaggyblue · 28/10/2025 08:18

@EllieWalesi did one of the clear and simple test strips which to be fair does say earliest to test is 4 days before period but of course that was as negative as negative can be 😂 I’ve got a two pack of clear blue ultra early but I’m putting off until tomorrow morning! My period is due in 6 days

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 07:48

I caved this morning at 9dpo and of course negative 😂 I had a BBT dip today though and some really sharp shooting pains under my belly button down. My boob are also still sore and veiny today. I’m deffo reading into everything this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 19:45

@EllieWales ooooh that sounds promising!! Im keeping everything crossed for you! Keep is updated 🙂

@bigbaggyblue thank you! Wishing you lots of luck and baby vibes too.

bigbaggyblue · 27/10/2025 19:28

@EllieWales I bought some £1.50 tests at Asda this morning, I’m going to try one tomorrow, I know it’ll be negative but better than wasting a £12 clear blue 😂 and I’ve got a Clearblue for Wednesday or Thursday morning 🤞🏼
