current cycle day 29, officially 1 day late according to my app. i just tested with the cheap clear and simple strips (only ones I could get my hands on) and it was negative i think they’re 20mIU :/

@MamaB12 negative here this morning so I’d say that’s def me out unless I ovulated a day later but doubtful 😫😵‍💫 back to another month of it! Prob still a few days to wait for af to arrive too which is the killer

did u test?

@MamaB12 it would prob be tough for hcg to get up above 25 by 10 dpo. It doubles every 48 hrs so for eg if u implanted on day 7 at hcg of say 3, by day 9 you’ll be hcg 6, by day 11 you’ll be hcg 12, by day 13 you’d be hcg 24 etc..

if u can at all I’d get the sensitivity of hcg 10 if ur planning to test early

im planning to test tomorrow, i just hope I remember and don’t pee without thinking first thing 😂 I think I ovulated Tuesday but could have been Wednesday so I’m either 10 or 11 dpo tomorrow, the wait was killing me around 3/4 dpo and now I just feel so nervous for tomorrow 🫣

yeah true, i haven’t got any other tests but im out and about tomorrow so might pick up some 🫣
let me know your results tomorrow !!!
these are my Lh tests from this cycle!! so by looks of it i ovulated on the 11th

6DPO anyone else in the 2WW

@MamaB12 could u order the wee cheap ones (sensitivity 10) on Amazon to be here by tomorrow.

the 10 sensitivity ones are the ones I have so if it’s a negative tomorrow at 11 dpo I’d say it’s pretty certain I’m out

do you think i could use the 25mIU tests or will they not pick up at 10DPO😢😂
are you testing tomorrow?

@MamaB12 do u test with fmu? Esp this early on testing later in the day mightn’t show up even if u are positive. I am feeling so nervous about testing tomorrow.

I actually thought last night i might test this morning (10 dpo) but then went to the toilet first thing without thinking so couldn’t test 😂 just hoping I don’t do that tomorrow morning. Think I was had asleep

I don’t feel pregnant at all this month and just know af is gona come and depress me for the week ahead 😫

yeah i do test with FMU.. usually anyway but i just don’t feel positive about this cycle🤦🏽‍♀️
the tests iv got are 25mIU ffs so they aren’t even as sensitive
i’ll be 10DPO tomorrow!
tomorrow will be a good time for you to test then, let us know how you get on 🫶🏼 x x

iv ordered some “mom med” tests they come with 24 tests and urine cups but iv just checked and the tests at 25 mIU so not as sensitive as an early detection ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

im not too sure as i dont track ovulation yet but probably will after this cycle, according to my tracking apps around 11-12dpo. the only thing i do keep an eye on is my cm. i’ve found everyone has totally different experiences when being pregnant it’s crazy! x

it really is so cruel that all the same symptoms are normal if pregnant or not pregnant! I’d every symptom going last month and really nothing this month.

this month would be the best timing for us for a few reasons so because of that I reckon there’s no way it would work out that well 😅
we’d all be due around Halloween which I think is a lovely time of yr

yep PMS & early pregnancy symptoms are the bang same 😩it’s tough! my previous cycles i was constantly symptom spotting but i don’t recall ever having the symptoms i have this cycle.. which is strange!
the timing would be lovely for me too, we’re moving in our new house next month so it would work out perfect for me🫶🏼
keep me updated on your test results and if you have any new symptoms good luck xx

I feel like my body is 100% giving me false hope as this morning I had some fresh blood when I went to the loo first thing, so assumed my period was starting (gutted :/) but since then my pad has been completely dry 🤣 just on my lunch break and ive got some really light scanty pink cm, cant get a test until tomorrow so looks like I’ll be testing on Saturday x
