I think 11DPO but I’m not sure for certain. I didn’t do much tracking this month and didn’t think there would be any chance. What DPO are you?

Did you test before today? I’m also 11DPO but BFN unfortunately. Period is due Tuesday so there’s still maybe an ounce of hope, but you know when you just know? I just know I’m out now. Onto May!

@MochaLove Oooh, I think I’d be cautiously optimistic with that line! The egg can be released up to 36 hours after Lh peak and then implantation can vary a lot too so maybe its a bit of a late cycle? Maybe buy a “weeks” test?

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 01/05/2026 13:47

@Glittertint Sorry to hear about the BFN. Hopefully it’s just too early as you say. Enjoy yourself tonight!!

@ChasingRainbow5 Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. That must have been very tough. Everything crossed for you this cycle!

ChasingRainbow5 · 01/05/2026 13:42

Hiya, just starting the TWW here.

I had a miscarriage last month at 6.5 weeks and didn't want to wait for my period, had strong lines on OPKs Tuesday and Wednesday so think I ovulated yesterday.

Congrats to those with BFPs already 🤗

MochaLove · 01/05/2026 12:43

Just to update I am now 16dpo according to my app and still no period. Been having mild cramps since yesterday. I’ve done several tests this morning which both show a faint pink line but I feel like the line is faint for 16dpo. Unless I ovulated later but I did find my peak using OPK 🤔

I’m 10 DPO not holding out but I’ll probably test again tomorrow as I am meant to be at a party. How many DPO are you? X

Danniidingers · 01/05/2026 12:02

@Ash2345fdefo looks like something is starting to appear I’ve took the same test with my FMU and couldn’t be more negative if it tried 😞 how many dpo are you! Xx

I’ve woken up this morning with the worse headache I’ve ran outta tests so just waiting on my Amazon to deliver but I’ve saved my fmu 🤞

Sunnybow94 · 01/05/2026 07:46

@censor22 I’m only 6 dpo but I got really irritated by dh last night, he said more than usual for before my period (which was brave) and probably a big coincidence but I’ve just had cramp in my leg which I’ve only ever had while pregnant.

Glittertint · 01/05/2026 07:06

I did a test this morning and BFN. But I’m either 9 or 10dpo so I’m just going to see over/after the weekend if AF comes before I test again! Only did it so I could go into the hen do I’m on tonight not completely wondering! Assuming AF is coming so not got any hopes up now!

@Glittertinti agree with this. With My DD I was waking up nauseous before my BFP.
also with my pregnancy’s that’s if miscarried I’ve had different symptoms compared to PMS.
but I guess everyone’s body is different ☺️.
if only we new as soon as conception happened would take all of this stress away

Yes! Weirdly in my CP my symptoms were like I was 6 weeks along, almost like my body was overreacting to the hcg and rejecting it! I woke up at like 10dpo desperate for a biscuit otherwise I was going to be sick! My DH instantly said “you’re pregnant”! I know!! If only we like bled a different colour at conception haha 😜

Poppybloom55 · 01/05/2026 06:49

@Shiny88 ive had so many symptoms that I don’t usually get in my regular cycle. Including spotting, which I have never done before. Lots of cramping since ovulation, falling asleep in the day, vivid dreams, brain fog. But 11/12DPO today and stark white on the tests. BFN and I can feel my period coming today. So I’m out. I hope you get your BFP. What tests are you using? I’ve got cheap ones but they’re all 10mIu

Shiny88 · 30/04/2026 21:15

@censor22yes it really is! I’m 10dpo and keep having cramping on one side for the last 2 days and I’m convinced it’s implantation but BFN on the tests 😅.
what symptoms are you spotting?

censor22 · 30/04/2026 19:17

I’m desperately trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard isn’t it, even when you swear you won’t, your brain still goes there

censor22 · 30/04/2026 19:16

Yay congratulations @Bluehouse14

Sunnybow94 · 30/04/2026 19:02

I bought clear blue smiley face ovulation tests this month and today I got a smiley face. I didn't know who else to tell so I'm sharing with you guys 😂
I'm feeling very optimistic about this month!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Sending lots of baby dust! Good luck 🤞

Bluehouse14 · 30/04/2026 16:45

Hi all, I got a positive this morning at day 10 dpo :) quite a strong positive too but my tests yesterday were negative (a different cheaper brand but still sensitive to 10mcg). I had an inkling as I had some consistent cramps most of yesterday. Bit anxious still but feeling hopeful. Hope you all get your positives soon xx

Congrats 🎉🎈

I actually slightly disagree as I had symptoms before my DD and I also had nausea that was the same as I had in my pregnancy with my DD at 9dpo with an chemical pregnancy and I tested positive at 10dpo. I lost it at 4w+5 so it can be an early symptom as some people are more sensitive to hcg, and they say you are more likely to be more sensitive to it if you’ve had a baby before as your body knows how to process it.

@Glittertinti agree with this. With My DD I was waking up nauseous before my BFP.
