Hi lovelies
Started actively trying this month so thought it would be nice if anyone wanted a journey buddy.
I’m 35, DH is 42.
Had 2 pregnancies in past (2002,2011) ending in MC
Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂
So tell me all about you and your journey 💋

When it detects a rise in your level of estrogen it displays High Fertility (flashing smiley face), and will continue to display High Fertility in the following days whilst it looks for your LH surge. When your LH surge is detected, the test displays Peak Fertility (static smiley face).

That is what i have just read online about the static one. Not sure if that helps you or not :)

@Louise392 thank you. I have just found something that said once u get the static smiley face, you are due to ovulate within the next 24-36 hours. So once dh is home, we r dtd.... again lol

I honestly don't know. To me it just looks off colour. But not spotting. Sorry

Louise392 · 09/02/2019 17:16

@Lammoshay that looks similar to what I had the first day before that weird period last month. How many dpo are you again?

Rachieb46 · 09/02/2019 19:04

Heyyy,

I’m in here too 😊. TTC #1, I’m 30, OH is 23. Cycle 5, CD2 so AF is in the house. Was gutted cos she was 4 days late and I really thought we’d cracked it. Crossing everything to get there soon, 6 friends at work have all gone on mat leave in the past 3 months, one with twins and only 1 of them actually tried to conceive. It can be soul destroying, but really trying to keep positive. 😁

Hi @Rachieb46
Ttc is a crazy emotional rollercoaster that I did not fully comprehend before I started. It can be soul destroying but I expect it all to be worth it when we get our bfps x

Louise392 · 09/02/2019 19:48

Hi @Rachieb46
I am TTC #4 - the first 3 were a breeze, this is the first baby we have sat and properly planned to conceive and its a nightmare!

@hopeful31 think i ovulated yesterday as i had a lot of ewcm and lots of cramps and today i am alot dryer and no cramps at all.

Colour: for implantation bleeding the discharge or spotting will usually be pinkish or dark brown, whereas period blood tends to be bright, vibrant red. ... Timing: implantation bleeding usually happens about 10 days after ovulation

Just seen that so @lammoshay it could be implantation bleeding as its pinkish. Fingers crossed x

hopeful31 · 09/02/2019 20:14

@Louise392 didn't know it can be dark brown. @Lammoshay hoping that it is implantation x

Louise392 · 09/02/2019 20:23

Just took a test and it came up positive...
For about 30 seconds, then it faded and you can hardly see it/disappeared.
I'm on 24 cycle day and I think 9dpo? I'm not really sure how to work it out?

Planning on doing another one in the morning but was wondering if anyone has experienced this?

Louise392 · 09/02/2019 23:23

Hi @GirlGang No never experienced that sorry.
Fingers crossed its just a bit too early, let us know how you get on tomorrow :)

Girlgang- could have been the evap line that caught a bit of pink then faded as it’s picked up no hcg, but test again in a few days x

@GirlGang I think it could be the dye moving across the stick. Sometimes it looks like a line.

Ovulation today... dtd this morning.... ttw starts now.

Louise392 · 10/02/2019 18:04

I'm so confused, thought I had ovulated but then had these today, the whiter one at around 12pm and the other around 5.45pm. Glow says the whiter one is positive and the other one is slightly off positive (1 colour slide) what do you think?

WelshKaz · 10/02/2019 19:20

Louise392 · 10/02/2019 20:58

hopeful31 · 10/02/2019 21:18
