Oh we can drive ourselves mad! I'd try to wait two or three days then test again, fingers crossed x

tiutinkerbell · 13/04/2026 16:52

@Sa11yCinnamon - thank you! It's odd isn't it, I kinda feel like I can mayybeee see something but then I'm like, it's literally negative you fool haha! Can't make up my mind on what I think!

Sa11yCinnamon · 13/04/2026 16:50

@tiutinkerbell I think I can see something there. I was completely negative at 10DPO, with FMU so I don't necessarily think that's too faint...

tiutinkerbell · 13/04/2026 16:38

Me back again :) does anyone see a faint line on this test? It's not taken first thing in the morning, I took it this afternoon as I was feeling a little yukky and was curious. I don't think it's anything as I'm 11DPO so any line should be much clearer, but wondering what others think!

Hi all, I haven’t posted for a while (since end of feb). My husband and I decided that we were going to stop trying for around 12 months. Have felt off for a couple of days, been to visit my mum with my daughter about 6 hours away. Did a test this evening when I got home as I realised I was 3 days late and had a BFP! Not sure how to process it so thought I would come here as I don’t want to tell anyone else yet

@Faraway11 My Premom tests from the last few days have gone as low as 0.09 and has high as 0.61 before dropping down again! So they definitely vary a lot. Last month i did catch my peak, I did test morning and evening once EWCM started. Hope the 8th is accurate and you get your peak soon!

@Glittertint I had the opposite last month! I was convinced I was pregnant, lots of “pulling” sensations, felt my CM was different etc but absolutely wasn’t 😂 so I think symptom spotting so early is impossible tbh!

With both my previous pregnancies I didn’t feel any different the month i got pregnant, had all the normal PMS symptoms, AF just never arrived. Don’t give up hope yet!

Thank you for the reassurance!! I can’t remember with my DD what my TWW was like as we had been trying for 13 months and by that point I just stopped thinking about it.

I just had nausea from 10dpo with my chemical but maybe that’s why it was a chemical as it was so extreme!!

I’m 7dpo and had ever so slight sore boobs since ovulation but today it’s really ramped up. I know it’s linked to progesterone rising but every time I’ve had this I’ve always had BFN. Can anyone give me any hope where they’ve had their usual pms symptoms and it’s been BFP?

Sa11yCinnamon · 03/04/2026 12:47

For anyone worried about LH testing, I never got higher than 0.7 according to Premom and definitely ovulated. Then I had a random temperature spike when I had a cold and it changed my ovulation date and fertile window, I wasn’t impressed with the app!

Ahh no!! I’m definitely not fully relying on the app, I’m watching out for ov signs too ☺️

Faraway11 · 03/04/2026 13:43

Glittertint · 03/04/2026 12:14

Yeah this is how LH works, it “pulses” until it’s ready to surge!

Ahh thank you!! I’m new to ovulation tests so this gives me reassurance ☺️

Good morning ladies. This is my first month LH testing. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? My tests aren’t getting darker toward ovulation, if anything they seem to be getting lighter. I know cd9 was definitely not my peak, I never ovulate that early and I haven't had my usual ovulation symptoms yet. According to my Premom app I’m due to ovulate on the 8th. Is it normal for LH to fluctuate leading up to the peak?

Highest was 0.51 @Glittertint But now at 0.21. It will happen, I just need to be a lot more patient!
Premom has moved ovulation day back from the 30th, to the 1st, and now to the 5th based on the Lh tests!

Hmmm, will try anything reasonable at this point 😂 will go for a run tomorrow morning and see if that helps. I’m trying to eat better (difficult when I feel like drowning my feelings in chocolate!) but could probably do even better there tbh.

How many dpo are you now? When are you thinking of testing?

Let us know how you get on! It’s soo hard when ovulation is delayed, I only realised how mentally hard it was the last 2 cycles when this one was earlier, it’s felt way less stressful!

I think I’m 6dpo today, I’ve had no signs! My boobs have been sore since 1dpo so I’m worried it means I’m out as whenever I have had sore boobs it’s never happened. As I track my bbt I’m thinking I’ll test at 12/13dpo if my temps haven’t started to drop as usually they do by then! The chemical 2 cycles ago about ruined me mentally that I think I’d rather not know 😬

@tiutinkerbellim also CD 16 and think I've got my peak!

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 01/04/2026 12:59

@tiutinkerbell I agree, almost positive, definitely get baby dancing!

My LH strips are back down to 0.12 😢. I give up! I was feeling so much more positive this month and now it looks like it’s going to be another really long cycle. Currently CD 26! It’s hard as someone with a normal cycle would be testing for pregnancy around now, not still hoping to ovulate! Sorry, I know I keep moaning about this, was just really hoping to ovulate in March

Oh no! I had this last month! How high have you got? It’s coming as they say your LH does test starts before going for it!

sounds silly but the last 2 months, I went to the gym got a sweat on and 2 days after my peak started, not sure if there’s anything in it but could try that? I’ve also been eating 25g breakfast in the mornings + having the inositol, and b6 and my other vitamins which I thinks helped regulate me!
