@Skyla01 a faint line sounds promising! Test again in the morning and let us know!

Fingerscrossed2023 · 01/09/2023 20:59

@Skyla01 yay sounds so promising! Send us a pic!

etaketak1991 · 01/09/2023 21:05

@Fingerscrossed2023 How frustrating! Hoping this is your month 🤞

@Skyla01 That sounds like good news to me! Hoping your line darkens tomorrow.

Strange question but Google is not being helpful. Would you consider tired lower ab muscles a sign of pregnancy? I'm feeling like I've done a load of sit ups at the moment. All that's coming up is related to an expanding bump, but I don't think that's the case at 8dpo!

Babyhopeful23 · 01/09/2023 21:07

I always miss the monthly chats for some reason but I might join in if that’s okay? I’m 8DPO cycle 7. Zero symptoms and I’m not feeling hopeful for this month.

Skyla01 · 01/09/2023 21:26

@Fingerscrossed2023 haven't tried but pretty sure it wouldn't come across. Can hardly see it in real life. Just hope I haven't got my hopes up for nothing.

@Babyhopeful23 sorry you're feeling a bit down. Not sure I've had any symptoms the two months previously that I got a positive, except AF not showing up. You're definitely not out yet. But understand why it is hard to stay positive.

Riverofhope · 01/09/2023 21:34

@Skyla01 Oh congratulations! That’s brilliant news, and gives me hope too! So pleased 🥳

Riverofhope · 01/09/2023 21:35

@Babyhopeful23 I’m DPO 8 too, cycle 10!

Babyhopeful23 · 01/09/2023 22:39

@Skyla01 i know it’s probably too early to have symptoms but the lack of them makes me feel like I have another cycle ahead of me. Going to try keep positive though.
@Riverofhope woohoo cycle friends, we can hopefully keep each other strong for testing. When are you planning on taking a test? It so hard over the weekend to refrain from POAS and keeping strong. Too much time to think. Did you do anything different this cycle?

Skyla01 · 02/09/2023 06:59

This is my test this morning. I didn't have a good night's sleep! There is a line again but still very faint. Guess I'll take it as a cautious positive for now. Don't think I'll tell OH until I'm sure. The last two times I was pregnant I used the same tests, got a nice strong line right away but I was probably 4 or 5 days late by the time I tested. I've only got one test left now. Will be tempting to use it tomorrow morning but better to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

@Skyla01 a positive is a positive. Congratulations!!

Riverofhope · 02/09/2023 07:12

@Babyhopeful23 We only DTD twice this ovulation as it happened early so we kind of werent expecting it. Was only because I got ovulation pain day 12 so took a test then we tried to get a couple in lol. I don’t usually ovulate until much later.
I don’t feel pregnant at all and have no symptoms so don’t think I’ll even bother 😞 My other 2 pregnancies (MCs) I had implantation bleed day 8, then sickness, cramps… so I knew I was before I missed my period.
Next month we’re going to DTD every other day from day 8.
Are you going to test? X

Skyla01 · 02/09/2023 07:19

@UnaVaca true! And AF has stayed away too which is the main thing. How are you feeling - has your news sunk in yet?

UnaVaca · 02/09/2023 07:23

Exactly. Yes it has, I’m so happy! Come join the April/ early May thread if you want?

muffin1996 · 02/09/2023 09:09

@Skyla01 this looks really promising!!! Congratulations!!!

i keep having dreams of doing pregnancy tests lol but AF is due tomorrow so I’m not gonna bother. It’s just gonna affect my emotions lol

Skyla01 · 02/09/2023 09:17

@UnaVaca I might join in a few days, once I have a stronger line.

@muffin1996 thanks. I was definitely recommend just waiting until AF is a day or two late, then at least you should get a definitive line. I still feel in limbo a bit. It's so hard to stay level headed whilst TTC!

Blackberry95 · 02/09/2023 09:31

Hi all jumping over from August thread! 11DPO today- I use OPKs and the Premom app photo ratios to find my peak and flo to track my cycles. I look to have ovulated a couple of days earlier than usual this month but my luteal phase is always really consistent so I’m thinking AF due Monday/Tuesday (CD 27/28)
Never been pregnant before and not really spotted any symptoms but been busy with work. Had a bit of a mare this month as lots of BD gave me a UTI!!!
trying not to test, did one at like 8DPO and got upset at the BFN (silly I know) so trying to wait until due

etaketak1991 · 02/09/2023 15:35

@Skyla01 Congratulations on your positive test 🎉 Sending lots of sticky baby dust and hope your wait until the next test passes quickly x

Skyla01 · 02/09/2023 16:11

@etaketak1991 thanks, think I might wait until Monday. Feeling a bit nervous about it all. Would rather wait a bit

How is everybody else getting on?

Lorddenning1 · 02/09/2023 16:14

@Skyla01 this has been my progression, my first one was really faint too.

Hiya all.

TTC Baby #2
No idea what cycle day I am on. Cycles have been so hectic aince weaning my LO.
Just been BD every 2 days before and after my Positive OPK.

MixedCouple · 02/09/2023 23:36

Awww positives already. Congrats ladies!!!!
I assume I am like 2DPO..... Ish..... No idea.
Had EWCM for quiet a while and fertility information I got suggests ovulation can occur within a 6day window. So cant really pinpoint.

etaketak1991 · 03/09/2023 06:45

@MixedCouple Good luck and baby dust! ✨

10dpo, BFN and my temp dipped from 36.7 to 35.5 this morning. Have a feeling I might be out this cycle 👎

Skyla01 · 03/09/2023 07:18

@Lorddenning1 those look similar to the tests I use. I'm planning to test again tomorrow so hope I get a line like yours!

@MixedCouple I was the same, not tracking ovulation so just trying to DTD enough over the week when I thought I would ovulate.

muffin1996 · 03/09/2023 11:55

Patiently waiting for AF ago arrive today 😪 once it arrives I’m just going to start working on myself again. I’ve been falling back in exercising!

Congrats to everyone that got their BFP!

Skyla01 · 03/09/2023 13:03

@muffin1996 keep us posted if AF arrives or not. TTC can be a good time to focus on yourself. What kind of exercise do you enjoy?
