Period arrived today so I’m definitely out! A day early atleast so we can start trying again sooner than I thought ~ now just hoping there is no heatwave next week!

Janey3090 · 28/07/2026 10:58

Hello! Can I join? Currently 7/8DPO (got a strong positive ovulation test early AM last Monday 20th which then dropped off by the afternoon). Stupidly tested today and of course it's negative. Need to try and hold off a couple of days! x

RowsOfFlowers · 27/07/2026 18:03

edit: sorry wrong thread!

RowsOfFlowers · 27/07/2026 17:58

Hey everyone. Went for my blood test this afternoon at clinic. Get results tomorrow morning. Petrified 😟

Fingers crossed for you @Or4nge

Or4nge · 27/07/2026 16:13

@Moominmamato3 Isn’t it always the way though! As soon as you are convinced you’re out it’s just like “well hurry the f up if you’re coming!”
Roll on the next one and we will keep everything crossed for you.

I got out a bottle of wine this morning which I’ll be drinking later if history repeats, so at least I’ve got something to cushion any potential blow. Also my husband entered the set for life lottery because he said if this goes wrong, obviously we will win that this evening too and it’ll help 🤣

Moominmamato3 · 27/07/2026 14:22

@Or4nge thinking of you and hope bloods and scan go well.

@TheUniqueMember congratulations, that’s a really strong line. Wishing you all the best for the next few months and hope everything goes smoothly x

Negative for me this morning so just waiting for my period to arrive so I can focus on the next cycle. Ironic that I spend two weeks hoping not to have one and then by this point I’m hoping it hurries up so we can get on with trying again!

TheUniqueMember · 27/07/2026 12:44

@cosmicstars @Or4nge thanks for looking ladies ✨️

@Or4nge this will be the one🤞🏻

@TheUniqueMember thats definitely a line progression!

I’ve reached the dreaded “early loss” day: 4w 5. This was the exact day that 3 out of 4 of my losses happened on (one was further on but it was because I conceived while on the coil and the coil damaged it).
No bleeding or cramps yet. Definitely NOT going to do another test. Bloods tomorrow and scan Wednesday, so I am crossing absolutely everything that we make it to tomorrow morning.

Everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻💕🙏🏻

Morning Ladies! 8DPO and BFN over here (not sure why I tested really 😆)

that line progression looks good @TheUniqueMember

TheUniqueMember · 27/07/2026 07:28

Line progression 😊 still have a sore throat and dd still has a cold 😅

Anyone else in the two week wait??
Vixminator · 26/07/2026 19:46

I tested this afternoon, wondering if this ‘bug’ was something else but bfn again sadly. So I’m fairly sure I’m out.

Kroovy · 26/07/2026 13:31

I’m sorry @Slippedonmahbeans00 💕 - hopefully next month will be yours x

Tested negative again today (period due day), so in a way I’m glad I don’t have to keep obsessing this month. I think next time I will only test on day of period for my sanity haha. Hoping my period comes soon as my energy is on the floor (I forgot how much of a bitch PMS is)

I’m thinking of getting into body temping, is anyone doing this? If so do you do it the whole way through your cycle or only close to fertile window?

Vixminator · 26/07/2026 11:39

Morning ladies. I was going to test this morning but I’ve been struck with some kind of bug or something I’ve eaten hasn’t agreed with me! Feeling rough so I’ll save the testing for tomorrow or just not bother and see if AF comes on Wednesday.

sorry to those of you who are sadly out this month and best of luck to those still waiting 🤞

Moominmamato3 · 26/07/2026 11:05

Sorry to hear that @Slippedonmahbeans00 , I hope that you get your positive next month x

I had another negative this morning and think I’m 12dpo so suspect I am out.

Slippedonmahbeans00 · 26/07/2026 05:18

Morning ladies. Officially out as AF came, feeling quite deflated tbh, but still early days of trying.

Very happy for the BFPs.
I am thinking of keeping this thread going for those both still on this journey and those on their baby journey, be lovely to see us all get our BFPs and support those who already have theirs xx

Moominmamato3 · 25/07/2026 16:54

@RowsOfFlowers how exciting! Fingers crossed for you.

Im an idiot as I relooked at my test this afternoon and can see a faint blue line which I know is probably an evaporation line but I got so excited. This happened with my pregnancy at the start of the year, 3 days of tests that were blank in the morning and then a faint blue line a few hours later before getting a strong positive the day my period was due. Now I’m sat trying not to get too ahead of myself

Ooo the dreaded evap lines! This is another reason why pink dye tests are good because if it’s pink, it’s not an evap line (which are colourless/grey!)

TheUniqueMember · 25/07/2026 17:23

Hello ladies, hope you're all ok. Fingers crossed for more BFPs 😊

I still have a sore throat, hoping it goes tomorrow 😫

Slippedonmahbeans00 · 25/07/2026 17:12

@maynm in exactly the same boat! Apps said i was due on today, nothing yet, but also, I ovulated the 13th so I thought I was dpo 13 when actually 12dpo. But I doesn't get my hopes up!! Wanna wait with me and test on Monday!!?

Or4nge · 25/07/2026 16:31

@maynm I’ve only got one previous “good”pregnancy to go on and everyone is different but for me nausea started after 7 weeks, and I know a couple of my friends also found it didn’t come on until later. However that’s not to say it can’t come on early. It’s so frustrating that literally everything that could be pregnancy is also just PMS.
the only thing that was different for me this cycle and the reason I decided to test even though we have given up TTC is that both my boobs got sore and started to swell and go hard, whereas normally it’s just one, on one side of it. 🤷‍♀️

maynm · 25/07/2026 14:13

12 DPO today according to the app but hard to tell if I actually am as I can’t remember my exact period in may.
Negative test today, had had sore breasts and nausea at times - any advice?

RowsOfFlowers · 25/07/2026 14:09

Or4nge · 25/07/2026 13:29

@RowsOfFlowers yesss! Those are really satisfying when they give you the words that you want.
Oh I was a fool, I shouldn’t have tested at all yesterday morning after drinking all that coffee, and I shan’t again! I shall be waiting and seeing and letting the Early Pregnancy Unit tell me what to think if I make it to Wednesday. Had one really bad cramp this morning which scared me, but no bleeding and it went after about 2 mins, so was scrolling back 5 years in my Flo app looking for what happened with my daughter and lo and behold…I had noted scary cramps in the first few weeks. That was reassuring.

My husband and I had a massive fight about it all this morning because we’re both so stressed and despondent and reacting to it in different ways (for example he now refuses to call it a pregnancy and keeps referring to it as a late period) but I understand why. But things are back on track now.

@cosmicstars it is so difficult to hope after recurrent loss isn’t it….I totally understand. All we can do is keep going one day at a time and hope we get there eventually.

My husband sounds similar. He’s not really referring to it as pregnancy until the beta blood test confirms it. I get iy.. it’s a self protection thing. Try not to worry or over analyse body sensations. I’m not noticing a great deal atm, although the odd twinge and cramp but doesn’t last long. I’m holding out hope for you. It sounds similar to your first pregnancy too…

@Slippedonmahbeans00 Sorry it’s still negative 😞 Human reproduction is so inefficient and 💩.
No bleeding here yet, I have to make it until Tuesday but just taking it one day at a time. Boobs are super swollen still but I think mentally just waiting for it to fail over the course of the week.
Has anyone else tested this am or got any positive updates? We need some happy news!

You could still be in with a chance, don’t give up hope yet. 🤞🏽

I have read online that pink dye tests (less common in the UK, but first response is an example…) are more easy to interpret when there are faint lines compared to blue dyes.

This morning I took the dreaded Clearblue Digital test and I was nervous as hell. Reason being is I haven’t got a faint line I can squint at that would bring me hope 🥹 lo and behold… 1-2 weeks pregnant. Genuinely didn’t think this would happen for me. Thought I’d continue to be one of those ladies that would struggle and was starting to commit to a childfree existence. Of course I don’t want to get a head of myself.

Good luck everyone ✨

and let us know how you get on @Or4nge
