The Hopeful Hearts Circle 1 - December 2025🎄💖

Thank you so much everyone!
only 3 tests done today 😅

@lepoissonM that can be normal, some cycles I didn’t get a peak until day 15/16, my peak was very quick though so I’d have to test morning and night to make sure I caught it!

@lepoissonMsounds totally normal to me. The tests are trying to catch your LH peak. So they should show a baseline level most of the time and then a peak. Some people have a gradual peak so maybe the day or two before it’s a bit higher and the day afterwards or some have a sharp peak eg: low and then high for a few hours and then low again (harder to catch on a test!). That’s my understanding anyone. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong.

An example of mine:

I’m CD13 and still low fertility according to the OPKs. Does this still sound plausible? Have never tracked before so very unsure, but I do suspect that I ovulate later than the standard CD14 as per Flo

Oh wow @LuckyDuck93 that’s so exciting ! I know it’s hard but definitely try and enjoy it x

Congrats @LuckyDuck93 It always gives me such hope to see people conceiving after it’s been a while. Fingers crossed everything progresses smoothly for you xx

@Fullofconfusion @LuckyDuck93 congratulations to you both! Such lovely news to see 🥰

Congratulations @LuckyDuck93 that’s amazing news!

it took me 18 months to conceive my DD and I remember the absolute shock at seeing a positive, best feeling in the world though! I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now 💗

Thanks everyone, its just coming up to 2 years @ChaE05 and I've never seen a single positive test, so im very much struggling to believe!

OH MY GAWWWD!!! @LuckyDuck93 I am just so excited for you. Keeping everything crossed for a super sticky bean and a smooth, uneventful pregnancy - congratulations, my love. 😍

Oh my we have some bfps!!

Congratulations @Fullofconfusionand @LuckyDuck93i am SO happy for you!!

@LuckyDuck93this has been a LONG time for you hasn't it?! Xx

@Allmywishcometrue wishing you the best of luck.

@Janey3090lots of luck to you too. Fingers crossed this is your cycle.

@LuckyDuck93I did a 2nd test this morning as it’s been 48 hours and the line is slightly darker so I’m believing a little more but still totally shook. I hope we both have the best exciting journey 🤍

@Allmywishcometrue wishing you all the luck in the world💞

How exciting @LuckyDuck93- delighted for you! Everything crossed for smooth sailing from now on 🥰

@LuckyDuck93 Wow I am so so happy for you. That looks very clear and very positive to me.

Why did that ger me emotional for you in the waiting room at the fertility clinic? 🥹😄. I am waiting for an appointment for my second cycle of IUI and I am SO MUCH more stressed than the first time. I am going to ask for a medicated IUi as my cycles are so long and unpredictible. I am on C.D. 34 and still waiting, testing since day 10 and and still no peak.

@Fullofconfusion yes please, anxious disbelief just about sums it up, just wandering around the office at work with my head in the clouds, everyone must think ive gone mad, its taken so long for us that im just so desperate for this to stick

@LuckyDuck93wow!! Congratulations. That looks positive to me.

would you like to join my anxious disbelief club? As I’m still struggling to believe and hoping so much that this sticks

So I didn’t manage to wait 😮
I don’t think I’ve ever been as shocked and terrified about anything in my whole life x

Edit: wow mumsnet really makes the pictures less clear doesnt it

This might give you all a well needed giggle and show how I have very much never bought pregnancy tests..got 2 clear blues from the shop this morning, in my anticipation read the intructions on the side quickly..did the test..waited 3 mins..blank test. The clear blue virgin over here didnt realise that holding for 5 seconds is midstream urine..if you've got it in a pot you have to wait 20 seconds otherwise it doesn't work. So now ive wasted a test and a wee 😂

I will add I've gone back later and there are eventually two lines..but I'm also aware clearblues are horrendous for evaps, now to hold for a few more hours.

Oh my goodness, will be keeping my eyes on this thread like a hawk for any news @LuckyDuck93 !

God speed to you and your partner @Janey3090 ! Have fun!

CD16 and looking like it’s trigger shot today! Time to get my DH busy 😂

@LuckyDuck93let us know how you get on. Everything crossed for you!

I’m still a small anxious ball over here. I’ve not told DH yet as I want to make sure it’s sticking before I say anything to him. We’ve both been through a lot and he struggles more with the idea of TTC again more than I do.

@ttcnumerodos that’s so interesting! I’m 11dpo, I never normally test but I think if my temp is still up tomorrow morning I might have to do it, stop myself going mad!

Yep. I conceived mid Feb, bled end of Feb, didnt test as thought it was a period. Starting testing LH early March and they were insanely high for over a week. Then tested positive on Hcg mid March. Mind was officially blown! Unfortunately it ended in miscarriage a week later but I don't think the two things are linked if that makes sense - possibly the early bleed was.

What dpo are you? x

Ladies has anyone else had a positive LH and been pregnant?
I’ve probably lost the plot, but, I read somewhere about having high Lh in early pregnancy..for some bizarre reason I’ve just taken an LH test and it’s definitely positive. Now I’m annoyed that I’ve wasted that wee and I could’ve taken an actual pregnancy test.
2WW sending me FULLY insane!!

No peak yet on the OPKs for CD12. My Flo app is getting very upset and telling me that it’s all going on regardless. I’m not so sure…! Hopefully I will see a change tomorrow
