So this cycle is playing with my head 🥲 my FMU this morning showed BFN… anyone experienced implantation dips? Do I just need to wait it out?

Well my cycle has gone weird. I’m 10dpo and woke up to my bbt back to my baseline. So I assume I’m out in the coming days. I usually always spot at this point but I’m not so that’s weird. Will have to see how the day goes but I’m a bit deflated as it means my LP was only 9 days and I was cycle day 23 which is SO short for me. I am seeming to go from extremes of long cycles to really short

ShivWesker · 26/05/2026 23:10

My digital tests arrive tomorrow! These ones weren’t false positives! They’ve gotten progressively darker and the symptoms are already hitting me. Despise vegetable oil and pastry (weird, I know 😂), craving ice and nesquik.

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy when I used the premom app to read my tests, 0.7 was the highest I ever got and I conceived that month. Now I just take the darkest day as my peak and don't use the app.

Thank you! This has given me a bit of hope for this cycle! So good to hear that you managed to ovulate and conceive without a true positive ❤️

8dpo here and I’ve already counted myself out 😂 not feeling it this cycle

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 26/05/2026 08:55

Sorry to hear about the BfN @Glittertint but as you say very early days still!

I think I might have ovulated last night on CD38. Got a high of 0.7 on Saturday morning and then some pain which might have been ovulation pain last night. So might be 1dpo today? Not feeling hopeful though as 0.7 is not a positive result on the Lh tests 😢

Glittertint · 26/05/2026 08:09

9dpo and BFN. Not sure why I even tested as I’ve never had a positive this early!!

Nice to be at a similar point together! Totally get what you mean about going in with eyes wide open this time, it’s terrifying but exciting at the same time 🙈 wishing you lots of luck in your first cycle trying for No.2!

And lots of luck to you too! 🍀

Saffie920 · 25/05/2026 06:40

I’m in a very similar boat! CD3 here and we’ve decided this is the first cycle we are going for try for our second. I’m really excited but definitely going into it all with eyes very wide open this time!

Got very faint lines this morning so took a digital and it’s positive!! It’s very early, I’m only 8DPO. I’ve taken a test this afternoon and that’s negative but it could be diluted urine. I guess only time will tell!

Fingers crossed for you!

I’ve had some spotting start today, so thinking tomorrow could be CD1 for me, the start of my first cycle of TTC again. I feel a bit nervous about it all to be honest, mixed with excitement. I’ve put batteries in the faithful Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor tonight in preparation!

Wow 8dpo is so early too! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean 🤞

MumOf3amazingkids · 24/05/2026 16:20

7dpo today. I will test by 10/11 dpo. By now I'd usually have some breast soreness but I haven't felt any at all. Though I started taking chia seeds this month. Fingers crossed 🤞

Edited

I’ve been struggling with breast soreness - how do you take the chia seeds / how much?

Fingers crossed this is a good sign for you 🤞 Woke up this morning my bbt has risen again at 8dpo, I’ve had 8 days of consistent rise so praying for more rises in the next few days!
