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!

Guys am I tripping? Just did a test, afternoon wee, was drinking coke before that so it was fairly diluted
This came up after two minutes when it wasn't even dry yet
I feel sick 😂

I see it!!!

@PragmusInteresting! I think they look positive, although on the top one the line looks a bit broken? But it has color so I'd say you're pregnant 🙂

Pragmus · 20/10/2025 13:23

Sorry it wouldn't attach the photo!

I'm on CD26 and the duration can be all over the place! Usually I get an ovary ache when I ovulate but that hasn't happened. I've tried again, these two look suspicious, slightly out of the 5 min timeframe by about 2 mins. Did try a boots early but that was BFN so truly clueless.

I'm so sorry to jump in so late but I'm not sure if I'm meant to be here, I think I'm losing my marbles! My opks aren't changing much day by day because that's what I thought I was testing for, then tried a pregnancy test for fun. I have no idea where I am right now or if these are evaps!

Those look positive to me! When was your last period? This happened to me and he’s now 3 😊. I had ovulated very late that cycle and kept doing LH tests that were just like yours but I should be have been doing pregnancy tests. I think I eventually realised on day 45 🙈.

Anya23 · 20/10/2025 12:09

And what cycle day are you @Pragmus? When was your last period? Maybe you started testing for LH late, for example I had my peak on cycle day 11 on the last two cycles..

Pragmus · 20/10/2025 12:07

@seesiseeso @Andrasa @Anya23 thank you for getting back to me! I'm not actually sure what my dpo I am, I was testing for ovulation 🤔

What cycle day are you on?

Not even sure the camera can pick it up but

I can see a faint line!

That looks bang on what I’d expect for coming up on af if you’re pregnant and 10-13 dpo, what cycle day are you? If you were testing lh once a day it could have peaked and come back down within the 24 hour gap.

I mean I can definitely see lines! How many DPO are you?

seesiseeso · 20/10/2025 10:43

Andrasa · 20/10/2025 09:59

I know it’s outside the time so probably evap, but after 45 minutes there was the faintest hit of a shadow on my test! None of the others in this batch have had one. Gives me a little hope for testing tomorrow.

I can see it!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Anya23 · 20/10/2025 10:09

Well fingers crossed @Andrasa! I can't see if it has any color or not

Hi everyone, Any older mums ttc? I’m 44 and have just decided to try for baby no 5. I have 3 older children with my ex and a 3 year old with my current partner who we conceived on the first month of trying just before I turned 40. I’ve just turned 44 last month but feel like that number is still hanging over me!

Any positive stories? Cycles are still regular and all is healthy! I’m currently CD7.

I’m also keen to hear what supplements everyone is taking? I’ve for pregnacare but wonder if that’s the best thing given my age?

Hi, my friend has gotten pregnant on the first try at 42, and another friend at 44 in half a year 🤞good luck!

Andrasa · 20/10/2025 08:52

bellaflower · 20/10/2025 07:19

negative here this morning at 10dpo. Anyone else tested today?

9dpo and also negative, hey ho. At least I have no symptoms so I don’t have my hopes up, must be awful if you’re feeling it all and really sure you must be.

It can mean you're near AF or you're pregnant 🙂LH can rise in both cases towards the end of the cycle

Oh god so it literally could go either way 😂

Hey @apples2022 I'm a little younger at nearly 37 but similar CD (I'm on CD10).

I take individual supplements because I have higher prescriptions folic acid due to a deficiency, but I take vitamins D and B12, and COQ10 alongside.

Good morning ladies - 9DPO today and BFN which I was expecting, just hoping it's too early 🤞🏻 I've been doing LH tests as well just to see what's going on there and today's is super dark? Not quite peak dark but really dark - what does this mean? 😩 AF due on Saturday!
