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…

Abie04 · 25/08/2025 07:58

And congratulations to all the bfps, i have been watching your journeys.

Hello all, i joined the May ttc thread when i started trying but i couldn't keep up with the threads. I finally got my first vv faint line at 8dpo and today at 10dpo the tests are getting darker. Baby dust to everyone still trying.

@Iris2024 ooh wow, congrats! Must be so nice after that time to get your BFP ☺️ Thank you for your positivity as well, it’s so hard when you’re in the thick of ttc to see the light.

This is my 2nd cycle after my loss so still fairly early days.

Congrats everyone. I hope it happens for me too. Starting to feel like there’s something wrong with me.

Thank you, I felt exactly like this. Never in a million years thought this would be the month I would catch and didn’t think it would happen for us again. Keep going and it will happen ❤️

Wow so many positives this month! How many cycles have you girls been trying?

I said above to Chae05 but we tried for 6 months beginning of 2024 then stopped and started again April 2025 and just got my positive August 2025. I’m 42 next week so a nice present 🎁 🤣 Caught straight after holiday that we stopped TTC for and right before got my partners sperm results tomorrow and I’ve been referred for a hycosy. How long have you been trying for hun?

Iris2024 · 25/08/2025 07:09

Thank you @Mash0917 @SureLook and @ChaE05 ❤️

I did a clear blue this morning and it’s darker than the one yesterday so feeling hopeful. I’m 12dpo and AF due tomorrow ish. It’s so reassuring to get the words pregnant on a digital and it was the afternoon and off an hour hold so that gives me hope.

@SureLook I did say hopefully I wouldn’t be long after you! 🤣🤣 We are together now in this! ❤️

I just hope I stay pregnant now which I can’t see why not. Keep the faith lovely 🥰 it will happen for you too.

@EmPeEf OMG congratulations too! We must be due the same time? If I remember right your 40s too?

Well well well …. DIGITAL! 11DPO 🤍

OMG!! Congratulations @Iris2024 @EmPeEf @irongiulia 💖💖💖
SO excited to see all the BFPs!!

ChaE05 · 25/08/2025 06:18

Oh wow coming on to see so many beautiful bfps!
Congratulations @Iris2024@EmPeEf@irongiulia
Lovely lovely lovely news! Praying for sticky babies 🤍

@Iris2024how long had you been trying for?

Hope everyone else is doing okay 😊
Got my peak yesterday. Cycle 10 x

Mash0917 · 25/08/2025 06:17

Hello gorgeous girls, I'm very confused. Today is CD10. So I started my monthly Ovulation tests with Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation kit. And the static smiley face came up! Not the flashing high fertility one, static one! Is Ovulation even possible this early in the cycle?

EmPeEf · 24/08/2025 23:57

Thank you. Testing faint positive on an early Clearblue tonight, like 5th wee of the day 😭 can’t believe how quick things go from negative to positive! Pleeeease stick this time. I was at this point only 32 days ago and it didn’t work out for a second time.

SureLook · 24/08/2025 22:17

@CDD1992 hello and welcome ❤️

@Iris2024 amazing!! Congratulations, I'm so so delighted for you ❤️ and sorry reassuring seeing it on the digital.

@irongiulia your spotting was probably implantation bleeding.

@Andrasa aww, sorry. It is so confusing sometimes.

@EmPeEf I can see a line on both too! Oh my god, another one. Congratulations ❤️

EmPeEf · 24/08/2025 22:01

@irongiulia no, I’ve been testing the last few days as I had some signs of implanting and feelings of being nibbled at on the inside for the last 3-4 days lol. So I was hopeful 😊

irongiulia · 24/08/2025 21:35

Iris2024 · 24/08/2025 21:07

I’ve told my partner too! Complete shock!! We didn’t think we would be able to have a second. Crazy really as we’ve been trying 🤣 What’s your EDD? Mine is the 8th May.

Yes it does feel a bit surreal ! Mine should be 6th of May according to ovulation date - I was really hoping for a summer baby after having my first in early January and struggling a bit during mat leave in the winter

Iris2024 · 24/08/2025 21:07

irongiulia · 24/08/2025 20:36

@EmPeEf i also see it in both! Are these the first tests you’ve taken this month?

@Iris2024 wow congratulations!

im going to keep testing to check progression, even though thankfully my initial bleeding/spotting has stopped

told DH today I can’t keep anything to myself 😅

Thank you! That’s really helped reassure me x

12dpo and AF due on Tuesday. I just want to get to 5 days after seeing a line and not lose it, as that will be a new record 🤞🏻😅

I see it!!!!! My period is due Tuesday too and I’m 11dpo!

EmPeEf · 24/08/2025 20:10

ForGiddyDreamer · 24/08/2025 19:51

@EmPeEf I can see a line on both, eek!! How many DPO are you?

Oh my goodness this is turning into a very successful month! I love it and a huge congratulation to every positive. Hope they all stick

I’ve been going up and down today as I had this on a FR this morning with negative Wondfo and another cheapy. And then in the afternoon I got something on the Wondfo. Tell me I’m not seeing things 🙏 I’ve been cramping and getting pinches for days now.

@Andrasa that is annoying! Did you start any prenatal vitamins recently? They can sometimes throw your cycle off.

@Indieholic hello and welcome! It might just take a bit longer this time but you will get there ❤️

@Iris2024 don't feel silly for being hopeful for something that you really want. There's nothing silly about that. We're all in the same boat x

I took about five days of proceive but I’d be shocked if that managed to knock my period off by a week! Still no sign of it, I’ve got some lh tests now so started using those in case it just got skipped last month. Who knows how this black magic works 😩
