TTC October 2025

Hey ladies - so exciting to see the bfp tests !! Congrats
6dpo for me I’ve tried to be super chill - not buying the ic tests this time because I see so many not even getting lines til later and I think that will stress me out. Last few months I haven’t really had any boob pain .. which I was starting to think was a sign that progesterone is too low. But noticed today - albeit early, they feel heavy and sore.. been doing temps and they are sitting the highest they have been so I’m hoping that’s a good sign. Yesterday I felt so bloated and needs to pee lots so again hoping my hormones are all fluctuating for the right reasons .. 1 week til af due … fingers crossed for some good news this month

Thank you 😊 yes, I still have a lower back ache, and fatigue started a few days ago, but luckily it's mild for now 🤞

Thank you Sleepy. I'm sorry about the bfn but glad you have such a settled mindset about it all. 💞

Beautiful lines! So strong!
Yeah I am finding the strips are taking much much longer to catch up than normal tests, and they claim to be "ultra-sensitive".
How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

I think those look good for 10 dpo. I found these strips really shitty compared to normal tests.. I'm 17 dpo today and only yesterday did my internet cheapies start picking up hcg normally

@MountainMummy95 they’re looking very good for only 10DPO! So happy for you, and very interesting that you had all those indications before the test!

Tested again this morning (12DPO) and gave in and used a clear blue early and still BFN. Feel at peace with it, not going to test again unless I’m super late for AF. I didn’t feel like this was my cycle anyway and have had a lot of stress this month so hoping now other things in my life have settled my body might feel more ready to get pregnant lol.

The easy at home is the only one taking a while to catch up. It's still an "is it there?" shadow that wont even photograph.

Morning ladies! Just a wee update. My 10dpo fmu tests are below. I know they are darker because my 9dpo tests wouldn't even photograph on my crappy phone camera. Anyone who wears a FitBit, keep your eye on wrist skin temps (go by general trend, not by the tiny daily fluctuations or you will drive yourself mad) and your resting heart rate. My wrist temps are in this thread somewhere and there is an obvious trend upward until implantation day when it dipped significantly and then rebounded. That was coupled with my RHR rising a couple of beats after OV (normal for me) but then on implantation day it jumped by another 3 beats, stayed there and then today it's up by another one and my fitbit is warning me something is up! Just a thought!! Hope everyone else is doing well. Sending baby dust 💞

Congratulations! 🥳

Congrats!!

we’ll need a due in July thread soon to move over to

Congrats!!

@MountainMummy95 congratulations!!!

@MountainMummy95so exciting! Crazy how things can turn so quickly. Must be such a rollercoaster! I’m 8dpo today, feeling a bit crampy and trying not to read too much into it 😂

Thank you!! I know. I got a squinter on my frer this morning (easy at home was stark white) and I was worried it was an evap. I held my pee until 3pm and tested again and now both are positive, in the right time frame and pink!! Can't believe it!

@MountainMummy95wow! What an exciting turnaround from yesterday! Huge congratulations!!!!

GUYS! I just got 2 bfps! One on easy at home and one on frer!!!

My chart is telling me I missed my ovulation due to my temps - I’m 99% sure this isn’t the case, I’ve been lh testing twice a day and definitely no peaks. I didn’t take my temp this morning as we were out last night and I was a bit hungover 😩. If I keep going will it correct itself?

@MountainMummy95 i don’t track BBT however I agree it does look like potentially an implantation dip? Will be interesting to see if you have any more fluctuations similar or if it continues to remain high over the next few days

Okay... call me a chronic overthinker or symptom spotter but I have to ask... do you think yesterday's wrist temp could have been an implantation dip? I have always watched my wrist temp trends (not small, daily fluctuations) and they always rise after ovulation (ov day is the one with blue dot underneath) and as you can see, there was a general rise there until yesterday when there was a steep drop and a rebound. I also had an uptick in RHR by 3bpm which has sustained into today and I had very mild cramping in lower back last night (kinda like AF but much milder). Thoughts?

@SleepySkyRat I'm sorry! ☹️ you aren't out until AF shows. I tested negative on an FRER with my now 4 year old! Don't lose hope just yet. I took an easy at home today too, with fmu and it was stark white. So I feel your pain.

11DPO and still negative… pretty sure I’m out now as easy@home is pretty sensitive I’ve heard? TBH not even sure if I definitely ovulated as recently diagnosed with PCOS and didn’t test LH just went with CM which was a subtle change. Will take one last test tomorrow before DH gets back, then I’ll just wait for AF to arrive I think.

@MountainMummy95 I totally get that disappointment - we all hope we're the rare people who get a positive super early, and when its negative it feels less like a let down because we know the chances were slim anyway.

Hoping you get a positive soon!

Well, 8dpo today and I used an IC... negative. I know that it would be negative at this stage, pregnant or not, but why am I disappointed by it?

i did another but think it was negative

At 13dpo I’d expect a solid think line. Can you try a different test?
