My heart is breaking hun 😢 what happened with you?

Show quote history

I had lines that were getting slightly darker but not as much as I expected, and I had some light cramping, then I think 15dpo they started getting lighter, and eventually I started bleeding on 21DPO. It was a horrible limbo because I knew in my heart it was a chemical but couldn’t be sure? I was still getting a positive 1-2 weeks digital until 19DPO but it wasn’t progressing to 2-3. Like I expected.

chemicals are so cruel - it now means I have no faith that when I get a Bfp it will last.

Oh @Iris2024 I just saw your update. So stressful. I’m sorry. Could you just be more hydrated? Keeping everything crossed for you! 💔

I’m really confused as got a positive digital still and a line on a frer, no spotting or blood, it’s just my easy at home tests don’t seem that dark.

So sorry to hear it’s not really progressing @Iris2024 😞 still hope whilst it’s visible but seems similar to my chemical in March.

I’m doing well, thanks @SureLook! 6w+5 today and starting to believe it might be real! Still too early to count my chickens… but 🤞

Morning Ladies!
Just wondering if any of you experience ovulation pain? I never had this before my little boy. I was on the pill for years, so everything was masked! Some months are worse than others but I always have some twinges and aches a couple of days before. But on the actual day of ovulation I can be in alot of pain. It doesn't keep me in bed but I have to take painkillers and it's painful to walk etc. However..it happened during the night lastnight. It was horrible. I couldn't get comfortable at all and It made me feel really sick! I don't know if this is normal? When im googling, it says its normal to have ovulation pain but if it's very bad it could be due to endometriosis. So feeling a bit worried now. My ovulation is definitely more painful than my period xx

I sometimes get ovulation pain although it’s not like a stitch/pinch feeling that a pain, and it doesn’t happen every month

Here’s my easy at homes and my frer this morning. My digital still saying pregnant.

@Iris2024oh hun 😔 do you want to share the tests? It's just horrible isn't it. I think you'll have more of an idea if you wait to test tomorrow. Xx

SureLook · 25/08/2025 20:56

@Mash0917 how strange! Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

@SureLook Well, I did another O test this morning and got the flashing smiley face. Looks like we are back on track. :-p

Mash0917 · 26/08/2025 07:21

Iris2024 · 26/08/2025 06:59

Morning, I don’t think my pregnancy is progressing. My clear blue line was darker yesterday morning but my easy at home ones are not progressing. Line still there but faint. Did a frer this morning a faint line, so did a digital again and says pregnant. My heart can’t take this at all! My period due today or tomorrow. 😢 thought this was it and it’s so hard seeing a line on frer and the word pregnant! I guess I wait to bleed now?

I am so sorry @Iris2024 , I know how hard it is to hold onto hope. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. <3

My O pain is horrible every month. But that's because I have Endo. If yours is especially painful, this can simply be a strong ovulation. Hope you feel better.

I actually have no idea how I’m going to have a natural delivery with my disabilities 😅 so mine may happen as a c-section which I guess would be end of April instead? I am so scared of the thought though.

Crossing all fingers and toes we have sticky ones.

@Iris2024 that’s right, both my partner and I are 40. I think I’d already checked my due date from OV this month was 6th of May and I think someone else was 6th and someone else 8th? 😊

Hi @Mash0917 - no idea as to what’s normal but I ovulate really early in my cycle, but I only have 24-26 day cycles so it would have to happen fairly early to fit everything in I guess!
@Abie04and another one! What a month, congratulations! I had no idea that you can test positive at 8 DPO!
I’ve woken up at 5am for no reason last 3 nights (very unusual for me I am not an early riser), and I had a really odd dream last night, that I actually remembered (again very odd, I never remember my dreams and if I do they’re usually a lot more mundane!). And I’ve just clicked that this all could be a symptom…

Thank you. I also had vv faint positive at 8dpo when i had my first dc.

Mash0917 · 25/08/2025 11:37

Thanks @overwork and @SureLook. I came home and did another 2 with tests from previous month's batches. Both came negative. Guess it was a dud one. :-/ The whole thing is stressful enough without dud O tests. :-( But atleast now I'm back on my usual track. 😁

@EmPeEf I've everything crossed for the stickiest of beans 🤞🏻

@Mash0917 I haven't ovulated that early but yes I think you can!

@Iris2024 my previous message was meant to say so reassuring not sorry reassuring 😂 I'm delighted for you ❤️

@PeonyPatch aww, I'm sorry. But honestly I doubt it. It can just take time x

@Abie04 hello! That's a great line for 9dpo 👏🏻 congratulations!

@overwork that definitely could be a symptom! I have very vivid dreams when pregnant 🤞🏻
