Hey everyone! After 4 years we've decided to try for baby no 2! But it feels like such a long time ago now, I can hardly remember the ttc processBlush anyway, finished my lmp a couple of days ago and started ovulation testing! Wondering if anyone's in the same boat this month? Hoping for an April '15 baba!:)

Hi everyone, I caved this morning and took a test. BFN for me at 8/9 dpo. There’s still time I know but I just don’t feel it this month. Should be moving at the end of next week so thankful for the distraction!

SkaterChick · 25/07/2024 13:29

Cd27, 11dpo (according to premom based on my opks)
No period, BFN test this morning, some pink spotting this morning and nothing since ...

Picked up some clear blue early tests today incase my current tests are faulty or something 😅 (all from the same pack)

rebecca199 · 25/07/2024 14:28

So I have a very VERY faint line at 9dpo.... eyes might be playing tricks on me and showing me what I want to see haha, but compared to 7/8 stark white I see something!
Probably an indent and I'm getting excited over nothing lol

Hopefulmummie · 25/07/2024 14:31

10dpo Vs 12dpo does anyone see much progression with lines? Going to hold out to the weekend and do a digital but I was worried lines weren't getting darker.
Also is it normal for line still to be so faint 12dpo?

@rebecca199 ooo that's exciting. I keep getting line eyes and seeing things on mine so I know the feeling 😅🤣

@Hopefulmummie the bottom one definitely looks darker! How exciting!!

BlueberryPoppy123 · 25/07/2024 16:38

CD 17 and yesterday opks were up to 0.4 which is highest I've had they're usually always 0.2 and under so thought yay we are rising as CD 17 was when I had my peak last month but nope back down to 0.2's today 😫 I'm finding it so hard having longer cycles. So jealous seeing all the posts of people who get peaks on days 13/14. I am so worried I'm not even ovulating and I'm too old for babies now 😭

Kiwiburgh · 25/07/2024 18:06

9dpo today and I've got a headache I never get headaches. So tempted to test today!
Damn symptom spotting drives me crazy even though with my last baby I had 0 symptoms.

omghavingababy · 25/07/2024 19:23

@SkaterChick how did you get on with your clearblue ultra early tests?
BFN at 11DPO for me too
Feeling deflated today and just know I'm out
Using easy @ home tests which pick up 10miu so surely I would get some sort of line 😢 really thought this month was it

SkaterChick · 25/07/2024 19:31

@omghavingababy I haven't used them yet.
Waiting for the morning to see if period shows up overnight due to the spotting this morning.
I've been using some easy @ home tests too. Originally from Amazon but I picked them up from someone on FB which is making me question them 😅
When I conceived my first I had some that said they detected at 10miu but I didn't even get a sniff of a line until I was about 5 weeks pregnant. I would use the cheap dippy one first then a "proper test" if I thought there was a line but I ended up switching tests because these internet cheapies were clearly a load of shit.
If period doesn't show up by the morning and I guess I'll take a clear blue ... Id like to think they're pretty reliable?

omghavingababy · 25/07/2024 19:58

@SkaterChick yeah I know exactly what you mean!!! When I was pregnant with my first I got some online cheapies (literally like £6 for 100 off eBay I think) and I didn't get a positive on them til legit like 6 weeks pregnant 😂😂 obvs the price too good to be true even though they claim to be "early detection"

I swear by easy @ home tho, I know you got them off marketplace do they have the logo on? I feel like they're very trustworthy

Same here just waiting for period I have had no spotting though, well actually apart from a spot of a different kind - 2 new friends on my face 🙄

Urghhh I wish I could have the willpower NOT to test until AF shows because I was feeling so happy and positive til I started testing at 9DPO 😭😭

SkaterChick · 25/07/2024 20:16

Yeah they look like the Amazon photo and stuff so I'm sure they're legit. I dunno why someone would want to sell fake tests for £2 a box but I guess that's my brain trying to find a twain why I haven't got a positive and no period 🤣

SkaterChick · 26/07/2024 07:55

Morning everyone... Cd 28 12dpo ... Still no period and tests still negative 🤷🏼
I used both an easy at home and a clear blue this morning and not even a sniff of a faint line so who knows wtf is going on.

I swore by easy at home with my daughter but this time TTC I'm not having fun with them 😂 2 days in a row now I have indents, it's driving me insane! Every other test is stark white!

I keep taking mine apart cause I can barely see through the horrible plastic cover over where the lines go.
But yeah took my ultra early clear blue this morning and that was a pure stark white no matter which way I squint at it 😅🤣

SkaterChick · 26/07/2024 09:42

Okay this is my ovia calendar for July.
On 13th I got my opk peak/positive, on 14th it had dropped again (fainter line) and I stopped testing with them at this point.

Premom says ovulation would have been 14th and to wait a other 2 days to test. (But that I am 12dpo today)

Is it possible that I actually ovulated later than 14th?
Is it possible that I didn't actually catch the peak or had a second peak ?

Yesterday I had a pink steak when I wiped but nothing since.

I'm so confused right now.
Im trying not to vomit my coffee and breakfast but I would have thought if in this nauseous there would be a vv faint line at least???

TTC July 24!
SkaterChick · 26/07/2024 10:19

Hello me again .... Sorry 🤣🤣
I sent this to my friend this morning with a wtf is going on with me??
I threw up my coffee and she sent me back this ... Is that? Am I seeing things?

Amber17 · 26/07/2024 11:14

Sorry @SkaterChick i can’t see a line there. Those Clearblue’s are the super early 10miu’s I think, you’d need a much higher bHCG to cause vomiting.

This is a dodgy test, right? Left it 5 mins, there’s a blue smudge right across the window.

SkaterChick · 26/07/2024 11:26

@Amber17 that does look like a faulty test annoyingly.

I've actually had two HG pregnancies, one successful and one not. And with both of those I was nauseous and vomiting before a positive test so 🤷🏼

I do see it however I have awful line eyes and am an unreliable person to ask 😂
I would do a big hold and test again this evening!

Trying to decide between a big hold or just waiting for the morning.
If I do a hold I'm not using the second clear blue today cause I feel like maybe that's a waste.
Id rather have that tomorrow or Sunday

SkaterChick · 26/07/2024 16:40

So I decided against holding a wee and testing again today.
I've had more spotting this afternoon, very light pink streaks in a clear sticky mucus discharge (like a thin ewcm) so we'll see what happens

omghavingababy · 26/07/2024 18:03

@SkaterChick can't see a line of that clear blue I'm afraid , let us know how the next one goes
I also had clear sticky mucas discharge last night spent my evening googling what inplantation discharge looked like , got my hopes up and AF arrived full on this morning

CD1 😢 so disheartened this month.

Zo85 · 26/07/2024 18:16

Hi ladies above. I also had a change in my mucus towards my AF. Had to remind myself it’s a symptom of my period approaching and the change in hormones for that to take place - and mainly had to remind myself that the luteal phase is very much like pregnancy. ☹️ Still trying to not test until AF is late this cycle BUT do I really want to get my hopes up ie would I rather know I’m not pregnant sooner by maybe testing at 12 DPO or something? What are everyone’s thoughts on this for you personally? Are you early testers or waiters and why? When I did fall pregnant, I told myself I’d just go about life as normal and wait until my period and I did until I got a really strange symptom 8/9DPO and just had to test as I knew. Sure enough I had a faint line. Maybe I’ll only test early if something like that happened again.
