TTC October 2025

I also thought I was out this time, to be honest the ic I used 10dpo is a shitty one, even today it was a lot lighter than the test I attached, even though they are the same sensitivity.. But I tested with another ic yesterday which seemed darker than the frer 😂 I'm gonna buy some more of those today, for line comparison
You can't get that brand in my country so I'm using our version of 'frer'

Okay... interesting! With DD1 I tested negative at 11dpo and assumed I was out and didnt test again until my missed period. With DD2 I tested positive at 9dpo pm. So... I will hold off until 9dpo and then maybe take an IC that day. I have frers too but I dont wanna waste them seeing as you can't get them in shops here anymore, has to Amazon! So I will keep those three for 10/11/12 dpo and if nothing shows up by then, I will know I'm likely out again!

I tested first 7 dpo PM😂which was pointless obviously
Then I think 8 and 10 dpo, when I had BFNs on ic, then 11 dpo PM I had my first lines 🙂

5dpo today and it is draaaaggging. I just need the weekend to be here already so that my testing window opens up? When did you start testing vs start seeing your first hint of a line??

Thank you@MountainMummy95! 😊
I compared it to the picture of yesterday's test and today's does look darker luckily, but I'm still gonna be checking line progression in the next days 😂good luck to everyone still in, I'm keeping everything crossed for you 🙂

@Anya23 beautiful line. You are 100% stressing over nothing. Like, your urine concentration, hydration will affect your lines for a day or two until hcg establishes it's hold. As long as it doesn't fade to nothing, youre good! Enjoy this! Don't let ttc brain suck the fun from the moment ❤️

I kinda feel like Rachel from friends when I see the line pics: "I am 90% happy for you and maybe 10% jealous... maybe 80/20." 🤣

On its own it looks good for 12dpo..especially considering that two days ago I had a BFN

Good morning ladies, what do we think? I didn't manage fmu because I barely slept, this was after a three hour hold in the morning.. Is it normal to look the same as last evening's? Am I overthinking it? Bottom one is today's

Oh it’s so frustrating isn’t it! I was so gutted when AF arrived I honestly thought I was pregnant but sadly it was just the usual symptoms 🙄 probably naive but why are they so similar!! So inconvenient 😂
I’m trying to just focus on a healthy eating/light exercise plan to keep focused on something actually and get in as good shape as possible! I’m planning a relaxing weekend with my husband and an at home date night on Saturday just to maybe cook together, watch a film etc! Just trying to make sure we get some quality time without TTC talk! I’m away for work soon so that will be a week gone and then hopefully it’ll be time to cross my fingers again! It’s really hard not to think about it isn’t it? I feel like it’s always buzzing around my brain!

have you been doing anything to keep yourself occupied? I’m open to suggestions!! 🤣

Congrats to all the positives!! So exciting!!

@jw97 YES. My cycles are super long now (didn't ovulate this time until CD32) and I am currently 4dpo and I am SICK of waiting. It's already been 5 weeks and I have another 10 days to go?!? How is this fair?? 🤣 how are you taking your mind off of it??

Never realised how slow the month goes when you’re TTC 😂 only CD4 and it’s dragging 😂 about to order some ovulation tests and praying nothing gets in the way of when we can dtd! Fingers crossed for everyone!

Congrats!!!

Congrats everyone! Such lovely news ❤️

CD 7 here and it’s the longest ever …..

Congrats @midnights92!!
So many positives today 😊

Got our BFP today. Very unexpected, didn't think we had DTD close enough to ovulation, but BBT went back up this morning instead of continuing to drop, so took a test 13DPO and it was positive immediately.

Just had to tell someone.

Yeah, the hotness I feel too, but again, it's what I usually feel before AF😂did a frer, and compared it to the one with my dd from two years ago (also an afternoon test), and it's about the same line! Fingers crossed for tomorrow, I won't be able to sleep for sure 🤞

I feel the same. AF due tomorrow or Weds. considered testing but I’ll see what the week brings. I feel very hot and have sore boobs but could just be AF….

Congrats @Andrasa

I'm not holding my breath either for now 🤣we'll see what tomorrow brings, might try one more ic later in the evening today
Hubby is away this evening for work, so I'll tell him in the morning if there's a line!!
Funnily I feel the same as I usually feel before AF - I remember with my first pregnancy I started getting some symptoms around 4-5 weeks so it's still early

I have negative patience and a lot of tests so just took another, this one came up within 5 minutes and is definitely pink!

still not holding my breath, especially considering my sister had a lot of miscarriages before one stuck, but I’m optimistic this morning’s test wasn’t an evap now.

Dh seems absolutely shocked it could be a reality as was gearing up for it to take ages. Have warned him it doesn’t mean definitely positive.

@Anya23 will be interesting to compare symptoms if both stick being about the same time!

Thank you guys!! I'll update you tomorrow with the frer 🤞

Omg! Congrats!

Congrats!

Omfg!! I tried to pee again and used the bottom test with that - top one is the first test I just posted
I can't believe this! I'll have to go out and buy a frer for tomorrow morning.. I was so sure I was out again because I was so irritated today just like before AF

I see it too!!!!
