@HansBanans ooooh exciting!! i think you just had a really quick surge that's maybe why it went from empty Circle to static but they are very accurate...once i got static i ovulated 48hours later also soo fingers crossed 😘

Fingers crossed for you @overwork. Glad it’s not just me! Although the only downside to ovulating in the next day or two is my period will be due around about DP’s birthday. Hopefully doesn’t come 🫣🤣

Oooh yes me @HansBanans- started using them this cycle on the days it suggested from the length of my cycle, just circles for 6 days and then on the 7th day I got the static smiley so we went for it. Temp appears to have confirmed ovulation 2 days later (think it will confirm tomorrow). Hopefully it isn’t some ominous sign!

Been trying the Clearblue digital opks this cycle and so far just the empty circle. Decided to take one this evening and now have a static smiley but I thought it was meant to flash first for a day or two before turning static. Has this happened to anyone else? Scanned it on Premom and it’s reading at 1.01

@EmeraldPie aww I know, hang in there, you’ll have answers soon enough 🥰🤞🏻

@EmeraldPie I’ve no idea, sorry. Are you getting it repeated after 48 hours to confirm whether it doubles? That would probably be a better indicator rather than the level itself x

It would be a good idea to, it's a shame it keeps raising my anxiety 😂

@EmeraldPieI recently went through repeated HCG blood tests with my last pregnancy and the main thing they are looking for is that the number doubles every 48hrs so it’ll be the next one that is the important one. Keep positive ☺️

EmeraldPie · 23/10/2025 09:46

So I got beta hcg tested yesterday (approx 16-17 DPO) and it came back as 238. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I am reassured about this.... ??
Any insight as this is all new to me as first pregnancy

Anya23 · 23/10/2025 09:10

Thanks guys!
Hubby is also suspicious about the line progression, but I think tomorrow I'll only use ic, and I'll use my last frer on Saturday, at least it should be obvious by then!

Congrats, try to relax as you can @GiveTheGoblinsSnacks😊
I can't relax 😂I Don't know what to think of my tests.. Internet cheapies are the only ones that are obviously progressing, that's the only reason I haven't gone crazy yet lol
The blue ones seem to be progressing as well (they are 25 ml) but the pink ones almost seem the same? I mean they all looked lighter until they dried, and compared to their photos, today's looked darker before trying but I would've expected more by now... AF would be due today

Congrats Girlie! 2 June babies please!

HansBanans · 23/10/2025 07:24

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks @Anya23 congrats to you both!

17DPO 😍 Now I just need to make sure I’m not constantly symptom spotting and temp checking! We’ve waited so long I need to relax and enjoy!

Hey BlueEyes. I'm a fellow 37 year old "advanced maternal ager" 👋
How are you getting on now?

Show quote history

Hello, lovely to connect thank you. I am now 7DPO and no new symptoms, will probably test around 10 days. I am just feeling a little deflated this week, I have had IUI procedure and sadly there are not many positive outcomes for women of my age and unmedicated. Losing all hope to be honest, that my eggs are just useless over 35. Just wish there were more success stories for my age band, this only my first try so I’m only at the start of my journey, but it’s a bit anxiety provoking to think what will I do when I run out of funds for cycles, I will be devastated. Time is running out. How are you? What stage are you at in this TWW. Sending baby dust ☺️

Thank you, I've just booked hcg bloods so really hoping that provides some reassurance

Fingers crossed lovely - I'm sure they will ✨️

The fact you're getting progression on CB digitals is good and a really positive sign.

@MamaGeordieI think it'me s just your urine more diluted 🙂I usually have the same, but I'd retest in the evening just to be sure!

Fab, I'll test later on and try to hold as much as poss before hand as well. Thanks for the reassurance 😊

@MamaGeordiethank you! 4 DPO now and it’s still torture 😂

Countdown to testing! 🤞

Hi everyone.
I'm 16-17 DPO now and got first positive last Friday. Have confirmed multiple times with other tests each day since but feeling disheartened because I never seem to get a 'strong' test line or much progression. I seem to get a darker line when I test in the evening rather than the morning. I confirmed with CB weeks indicator and Friday was 1-2 wks, and yesterday was 2-3 wks, which gave me hope. But lines still don't appear really strong and bold. It's causing me some anxiety!
Also no idea why stronger lines generally appear later in the day?

Any advice??
