Hi everyone,
I’m a bit early but I liked having people to chat to last cycle who were going through similar. It can feel isolating having nobody to talk to about it other than DH when it’s taking up your every thought.

CD5 for me today. Will start uploading LH strips to Premom from CD 10.

Going to try the ‘sperm meets egg’ method this month to see if a bit of structure helps.

sending everybody lots of luck!

7DPO today and my resolve is already slipping not to test before period due date. Trying to train with myself that I can just use cheapie strip tests. Someone give me a virtual slap 😂

Just use a cheap one first thing. You know you have no chance that early if it’s not first morning urine so means you can just get on with your day without stressing as you’ve tested and seen alrwady

I feel like the line on this isn’t dark enough to be real? It hasn’t seemed to change since Wednesday so i’m wondering if it’s just an indent 😔

Good luck @Andrasa! First cycle ttc no 2 here.

My cycles are a bit variable between 22-29 days since they came back after no.1. I've had negative OPKs so far for last few days, no idea about ovulation day in my recent cycles.

I'm at CD 14 I think and when I conceived first time round it was a late ovulation on cd20-ish.

Is there any point me starting to take BBT tomorrow for the rest of the cycle? I know ideally you'd start on day 1. I suppose worst case is I don't get any clear info to confirm ovulation.

Andrasa · 09/10/2025 22:15

Congrats!

first month trying properly for me so fingers crossed everything works magically. Had a practice run a couple months ago and ended up ovulating two weeks after I thought so now am armed with strips and a thermometer and pretty sure I should be ovulating tomorrow.

Congrats @bluepears96!!

CB ultra early digital from this afternoon!… also did a normal CB digital with the weeks indicator and got a bfn so will try that again in a couple of days. Second pic is line progression from this mornings SMU to this afternoon about 4pm.
I’m going to disappear from this thread as I know we are all having different outcomes and all at different stages. Wishing you all bags and bags of baby dust for the rest of the month and beyond.

@amey44i think I’d get a FRER!

amey44 · 09/10/2025 13:21

@Anya23 I have irregular cycles so could be from 2 or 10 days. I’m pretty certain i’m 10dpo today though from symptoms

Anya23 · 09/10/2025 13:18

@amey44When is AF due? I'd buy one for tomorrow morning!

amey44 · 09/10/2025 13:11

@Anya23Yeah that’s what i’m confused abt im tempted to buy another test even though I really wanted to wait to see if af showed this cycle before buying tests

This is another pic I just can’t decide if it’s a dodgy test or a line

Anya23 · 09/10/2025 12:46

@amey44I do see something, but on the first pic, it looked like the whole left side is dark? The second one looks better

amey44 · 09/10/2025 12:44

This is another pic of it which shows it? I don’t wanna spend loads of money on other tests for them to be negative🥲idk what to think

amey44 · 09/10/2025 12:26

Hey ladies I tested this afternoon and got this? I’m a little confused and unsure if it’s a real line or if the test is wet?

Anya23 · 09/10/2025 12:05

@bluepears96Fingers crossed it works! I'd might wait for tomorrow's fmu, although I've never used the cb digital myself

@Anya23i feel so validated! Going to get a CB ultra early digital for this evening to tell DH with. No idea if it’ll be pos or not.
I’m just at work trying to act normal!

@bluepears96I see it x

Oh my god I don’t know what to do with myself! I have 2 really faint lines. 9DPO. Can you see them? Or am I crazy. Never seen any lines before!

Decided to distract myself from TWW by going to the Aldi wooden toy event 🤯🤣 feeling slightly traumatised now!

9DPO today. Wondering whether to test or not.

tested on 7&8DPO but of course BFN’s, don’t know why I do it!

Is anyone else 9DPO today?

@amey44i see a shadow on the 2nd pic x

OP posts:

Cornishmaid92 · 08/10/2025 21:30

@amey44 I can see a shadow there too - fingers crossed you have a stronger line in a couple of days :) Do you have any symptoms? X

LaurLou22 · 08/10/2025 19:50

It’s the worst! I have everything crossed for you xx

amey44 · 08/10/2025 19:50

@LaurLou22 I’m unsure on dpo I am assuming around 10-11dpo? I tested again with a poundland test and couldn’t see anything but I think they’re slightly less sensitive. I guess it’s just a waiting game now aha 🙃

LaurLou22 · 08/10/2025 19:39

@amey44 defo think there is a shadow there but I’m not the most reliable! How many DPO are you? Have you got any other brands to test with?
