Interestingly, today I felt different. Boobs sore, heavy, and had a lot of lower back ache. I don’t have these with my period. However, this evening I went to the loo and spotted (a very small) amount of brown discharge. Again, I don’t usually have this pre-period… so part of me thinks could it be implantation?? But I’m about 10-11DPO so pretty sure that’s not likely. Oh well. Onto the next!’

I’m 10/11DPO and have similar symptoms too so you never know! Only other different one I never have in my luteal phase is a stuffy nose. I’m going to start testing tomorrow

Update to my last post about line progression, I’m 14 or 15dpo now and at the ‘missed period’ stage finally!
I do have a horrific cold though, hope baby is feeling strong 🙃

This is wonderful!!! So pleased for you

My TWW can begin tomorrow I believe! So this is cycle #2 trying for baby #2! I’m guessing I’ve ovulated today looking at LH tests and the deed was done CD 12 and CD 14 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi, I will join in again this round, cycle 3 of TTC #1 - first cycle August was BFN, 2nd cycle in September was weird and I had an unusually late period with a few very very faint lines that didn't darken and then went neg, then had weird bleeding on and off so I'm assuming that was maybe a chemical, October we didn't really have sex as I was trying to see what was happening with my weird period bleeding and also life got in the way as my grandfather was in hospital really unwell so that was just a stressful month and we didn't try, but now back on it this month - entering fertile week now, my period should be due round about 5th December so will keep fingers and toes crossed and see what happens. Wishing everyone the best of luck now and in the future!

@ErickBroch sometimes the months with little symptoms are the ones 🤞🤞🤞 was like this with my Daughter. Will you test Monday?

@Jhm88 I feel your approach is what I need to do and am going to be doing going forward for sure!
Good luck, when will you test?

@LaurLou22 congratulations 🎊 my lines at 14dpo were the same as your 10dpo with my daughter. Hard but try not to worry x

thank you! I’m trying to wait until Monday - hard!!

Littlegreenpebbles · 14/11/2025 13:43

Hey,

Jhm88 I know what you mean about trying not to track obsessively. Its hard not to get sucked into monitoring every change. So sorry about your CP, Ive been there and its so distressing. I hopd you're doing ok.

SleepySkyRat and ErickBroch ah that's always the way! Who would have imagined that half the battle is both being free and fit on the right day. Good luck for the next cycle.

ErickBroch · 14/11/2025 12:20

This was our first month ttc and we were travelling so unfortunately both ovulation day and day before we didn’t try. But did the week before daily and a good few days after.

I have actually had two accidental pregnancies before many many years ago which I think has given DH the idea I will fall pregnant immediately. However, not feeling it at all. Have none of the early symptoms I see everyone taking about whatsoever. Period is due Monday and fully expecting it, I know it’s the first month but I just can’t help but feel disappointed!

love these threads though and reading all your comments and successes ❤️

SleepySkyRat · 14/11/2025 10:18

How is everyone doing? Hope those with positives are getting some line progression now!
Currently on CD18 and finally seeing some progress on my LH tests so think ovulation will be next few days (not quite at peak yet) and typically hubby has now got the flu and is definitely not going to be up for trying! So that’s us out this cycle… at least I know that I am ovulating as I was giving up hope for my LH to ever rise!

Jhm88 · 13/11/2025 00:24

Hi, everyone! Hope all is well.

Thought I would join in as I'm a big mumsnet lurker. I'm TTC first baby at (recently turned) 37. I'm pretty sure I just had a chemical on cycle #2 of trying which I'm feeling down about. Couldn't believe I was actually holding positive tests, especially so soon, as I always had concerns if I was even fertile

I think I'm going to take a break from tracking so obsessively and just try to DTD when we are up for it. My brain feels like mush from it all. I tick a few high risk boxes, so let's see where the adventure leads to...really trying to keep positive, but struggling a bit. 🤞

LaurLou22 · 11/11/2025 15:35

@Veryxonfused haha thank you, I took some more today and I don’t think there’s an awful lot of change but like you said you tend to see more over 48 hours then 24 x

I’m 4DPO today according to my period tracker app however I think I maybe ovulated 1/2 days earlier than this because I felt some distinct ovulation pain and have been tracking cm. Currently have the usual PMS symptoms although they’ve started a little bit earlier than they usually would (sore boobs, emotional), not usual for me o have been experiencing some light cramping. Usually I get cramps the day before my period is due and then the worst cramps ever on day 1/2 of my period so fingers crossed this actually points towards early pregnancy instead! Think I will test from Monday onwards as I’ll be 10DPO (or 11/12DPO according to my calculations)

Clarysjb · 11/11/2025 14:53

Veryxonfused · 11/11/2025 14:00

Zero line progression from yesterday to this morning 🥲 not feeling good about this

Test every 48 hours instead maybe? Gives time for the HCG to double and you should see some good line progression 🤞🏻

Veryxonfused · 11/11/2025 14:06

LaurLou22 · 10/11/2025 18:30

Sorry I took even more 😂😂😂

There’s definitely progression with yours! I was looking at my old test photos from last successful pregnancy and there was no line progression for a few days about 9-11dpo with a certain brand (I took a lot of tests haha)
So I shouldn’t think too much into it, but I will

@LaurLou22 hahaha you are very much a woman after my own heart 🤣 Massive congratulations! What DPO are you now? Sending you very healthy baby growing vibes xx

Hahaha feel like I found my people! I’m 10DPO so let’s pray for darker lines over the coming days!

SquigletChocolatePotato · 10/11/2025 19:31

@apples2022 I can see what you’re seeing, but I wouldn’t like to say it’s positive. It could be, there’s definitely a line! But, I think it’s stronger at the bottom than the top and it doesn’t look evenly coloured. That could be for a few reasons, could be pregnant, could be a faulty test or an evap 🥺 Can you test again tomorrow? How many dpo are you? It’s so so hard when it’s like this 😓 Think positive pregnant thoughts 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

I agree it’s best to be cautious. I also took a wondflo which was stark negative so I don’t want to get my hopes up. I’d also expect it to be darker, I’m either 8 or 10 dpo.

i can see it’s caught the dye at the bottom but not the top. Does that even mean anything?!

Also, my LH rose but my temp dipped slightly. I’ve been taking pdg tests every couple of days and they’re all positive which is good.

There’s definitely a line here!
