I can see lots of TWW threads for end of April but I thought I’d start one for any of us who are 1dpo in early May.

I’m 1dpo today. Fourth cycle of trying for second baby. Ovulation day came a week early for us this week, but we DTD 3 times in the fertile window so I’m hopeful.

I don’t remember getting any early symptoms with my last pregnancy.

I usually test waaaay too much. So get ready to see loads of iffy faint lines -ha!

What about you?

Yeah I've been having issues with evap lines on easy@home, they've looked like this for days (even before it'd be possible to see anything as I did a test at 1dpo to set a baseline).

Below are my FRERs - left is 7dpo and right is today at 8dpo. Sometimes I think there's a slight line on the 8dpo strip but othertimes I see absolutely nothing.

I know I should be patient and test later on my cycle... but we all know how challenging that is in reality 😆

@fleur89 oh 100% it's so hard I've done so many and didn't get anything till 10dpo hang in there I definitely see a line on one of them I also no easier said than done leaving it couple of days cause if ur anything like myself I just had to pee on a stick sometimes more than once a day 🙈 yes I'm that person who doesn't wait either! My Af is actually due tomorrow and even tho I've had the digital result on clear blue I'm still going to do another next week to check progress, I also did this with my first I think it a piece of mind thing and at the end of the day anything to make us feel better hey.
I'd love to be kept updated in your progress I defiantly see the line and with time you'll get progression 💗 xx

Goldie1234 · 18/05/2023 21:21

Oo @fleur89 keeping everything crossed for you !

I was absolutely convinced I was pregnant and then AF arrived this afternoon ! Couldn't believe it !! Won't be trusting any tww symptoms again 😅 I honestly nearly bought "big brother" and "big sister" jumpers so I could do an announcement surprise for my family lolll 🙈🙈🙈 ahh dear, I'm joining the next month club !

SoItGoesAgain · 18/05/2023 21:47

@fleur89 I feel like I can see a line on the top right one, but not convinced it's in the right place??

Being a random creeper on here as I found MN so helpful last time I was TTC and will be trying for #2 next month after my wedding.

Couldn't scroll past your post without saying I can 100% see a line on that top one. It's feint but definitely there and I had the exact same result at 8DPO with a FRER. That positive result is now a crazy two year old 😂

Unicorn25 · 18/05/2023 22:45

Just joining here.

9dpo today and had a faint line earlier on a frer but I'm pretty sure it's an evap. Is anyone else finding frers are giving evaps? When I had my first, a line on a frer was more or less a guaranteed positive but it seems now they are bad for evaps!

Stressedwithttc · 18/05/2023 22:49

Hi girls mind if I join? As username suggests super stressed. 7dpo today and last cycle I had THE most convincing evap @Unicorn25 I'll just be starting cheapies soon. Prob no better but a lot cheaper xx

Stressedwithttc · 18/05/2023 22:52

Also good luck everyone! Will read the thread now x

SoItGoesAgain · 19/05/2023 05:36

Anyone else use the Flo app?
I'm very confused by it. It's had today as the day my period is due all month. Just logged (another) negative test and it updated my cycle predictions and is now saying period is due tomorrow?

Soph2512 · 19/05/2023 06:12

@CinderRosie @DmcinT @PollyDarton1 I think I’m 11DPO CD 30 🙈

so I got high LH CD17 and then Peak CD18-19.

I have no clue what’s happening 😭😭

I did take tests this morning though. Maybe it’s just too early 🙈

I can definitely see a line in this one

Butterfly2000 · 19/05/2023 07:40

10dpo and just took the Boots early test but bfn. This is the 3rd morning of spotting, AF due in 4 days. What is my body doing?! Still got a little bit of hope :/

@fleur89 @stressshead Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Maybe it’s just still too early?. IfAF does arrive its always good to go speak to the doctors about spotting ❤️

I'm hoping so. I've never spotted like this or this early before AF. I normally have heavy periods that kick I'm after a few hrs of spotting. We'll see, I've got a few more early tests left. Will try and hold off for a couple of days. Have an appt with the GP today so I will mention it. I want to tell DH but don't want to get his hopes up. Will wait and see

Happy Friday all x

fleur89 · 19/05/2023 09:11

Tested again with easy@home and it looks just like the others from 6-8dpo. I'm 9dpo today. Run out of FRER (but delivery comes today) so took a CB - again not sure if it's an evaporation line or the start of something.

I'm taking high dose biotin supplements and just read a few MN threads about them skewing test results either way. Will stop taking it from today and see if that makes a difference

CinderRosie · 19/05/2023 09:13

@fleur89 I took one of those early clearblue tests when I was 10DPO, I got a similar evap line but it didn't show up until after the 10 minute limit. I have just started AF so definitely not pregnant. Was your faint line within 10 mins?

fleur89 · 19/05/2023 09:27

@CinderRosie this photo was taken just after 10 mins although I think it looked similar during the wait. I have a gut feeling it's an evaporation line though, I can't really see any blue in it. I'll wait for the FRERs to arrive this afternoon to compare like for like with yesterday's. I do have 1 digital but I think I'll wait to use that until 12dpo if I see any progress or another cycle ttc if things don't.

fleur89 · 19/05/2023 09:28

@stressshead congratulations by the way, hope it's a sticky one and lines continue to darken 💗 🎉

Williams3001 · 19/05/2023 09:31

@SoItGoesAgain I’ve been using the Flo app since March. It adjusts based on your input, so if you don’t log a period it will just change your due date to the next day until it arrives. Then once you’ve had AF it will recalculate the average for next month based on the new data.

Butterfly2000 · 19/05/2023 09:53

Sorry to post again. Just sat here having a little cry after speaking to my GP, my progesterone is low so she'll be referring me to the fertility clinic after more bloods and getting DH results. I really thought this was going to be my month. Don't know how to break it to DH either

Williams3001 · 19/05/2023 09:54

Also had a BFN this morning (14DPO/AF due today). Hopefully AF comes this afternoon so I can reset and start again soonest. DH is going to get tested once it arrives as we’re 6 months in now.

HavinKittens · 19/05/2023 09:57

Okay so I’ve gone through the thread to try and get a handle on where everyone is at. Please correct me if I’m wrong :) it’s hard to keep up!

I’m on CD3 today. Sorry to the other ladies who’ve recently got their period, or a fairly certain BFN. I hope you’ll continue on with us for the next cycle @CinderRosie @Enn1234 @Goldie1234 @Optimistic66 @PollyDarton1 @Sarahloudobby @SoItGoesAgain @Un7breakable @Waterdown @foulplay

I know there’s some of you in limbo, waiting to find out what’s going on @Butterfly2000 @Harriet669 @Soph2512 @fleur89

Congratulations to @Hazelnuttella and @Lina9 and @stressshead

Welcome to the thread @Unicorn25 and @Stressedwithttc , hope you get your BFP soon. I think you’re both around 8-10dpo today?

Any updates? @BabyNo2please23 @Bellabeemarie @Diddibeth @DmcinT @FindMyRainbow @Floralsandsmiles @Jaded1066 @NiceParkingSpotRitaThanksJanet @TreeRose @Vic231 @Williams3001 @confuzzzzzled @curliegirlie @dwightschrutebeets @hazierandblurrier @optimisticchanger

Ah I cross posted with you @Williams3001 , sorry to hear

And that sounds tough @Butterfly2000 but I am glad you’re getting some investigations and referrals to get you on the right path.

Little update from me, I'm roughly 13DPO today, AF due on Sunday. Took an early response yesterday and it was negative so not expecting to be pregnant but will wait and see if AF comes on Sunday! Off to a wedding for the weekend tonight, so I have a good distraction!

Bellabeemarie · 19/05/2023 10:24
