Moving over from lurking on TTC Aug 2024, as AF just arrived yesterday. Anyone else joining?

Thank you to everyone who responded yesterday. I retested this afternoon with a stronger line (first pic shows 10 dpo and 11dpo AM/PM progression) and 2 BFPs on digitals. Cautiously optimistic at the moment as it’s still very early on. In disbelief that it’s our month to share the good news.
Things we did this cycle:
tracking bbt & ovulation tests
bd’d 3 days before ovulation, day of and day after ovulation
used preseed for the first time (I have a feeling this helped us as I don’t produce much EWCM)
I stopped drinking after ovulation

This is my first time being pregnant so feeling a bit overwhelmed. The only family I have close to us in are my brother and sister in law who had a miscarriage recently so my heart is breaking for them and I’m somewhat dreading when we need to share the news with them :(

hoping everyone on this forum gets their bfp soon xxxxx

Massive congratulations ❤️

I am due on today/tomorrow so gave in and tested this morning - got SO excited seeing this test to then see the positive line is actually where the plastic ends! So wasn’t a line. Really gutted and now going to work feeling like i want to just cry all day!! But going to try remain positive for next month and got all my fingers crossed for everyone on here!!💫

Same! I'm due AF on Saturday and I tested this morning and it was a BFN.
I was so sure that this would be the month. I'm off to work now too hoping AF comes ASAP so I can get to starting my next cycle.

@AmberM223 try not to be disheartened 🫶 it looks like the test is still 'processing' hasn't fully dried yet. Have you looked at it again? How many DPO are you?

AmberM223 · 11/09/2024 07:30

@Renee33 I did check again 4 mins later and it was a total negative 😓 i’m 13DPO, it’s just so deflating isn’t it!

AmberM223 · 11/09/2024 07:31

@cocodaisy oh god i feel for you! I feel totally the same, i hope i come on today now. Fingers crossed we both come on soon and can get started!! 🤍

@rebecca199 I've started just booking absolutely everything because so far it's been a 7 year journey and I refuse to miss out anymore because of "what ifs" 🤣 still annoys me when I do miss out, for example I was meant to be doing a fitness competition but couldn't because of one of my miscarriages happening, but I think you just have to carry on as though you won't be pregnant to avoid missing out on the fun stuff in life. Just have good travel insurance lol

This is very true!! It took us a long time to conceive my daughter and I missed out on so much!
I fell pregnant first try for number 2 (couldn't believe it) but am currently miscarrying now so hoping for a quicker process this time round! X

I might (but hope not for all your sakes) be seeing some of you on Octobers TTC as the dreaded AF has arrived. Hoping you all get yours positives soon xxxx

MrsKurz · 11/09/2024 16:10

Question about implantation bleeding… would 7dpo be too early for that? I swear when I wiped this afternoon my CM was everrrrr so slightly pink, but it could have also been darker yellow… i couldn’t tell if it was my eyes playing tricks on me. I never have spotting between cycles so would be very unusual for me to have pink spotting now.

edited to add: I just went again and there was nothing, so I think it was my eyes playing tricks 😂

LetstalkaboutBruno · 11/09/2024 16:43

Well, I’m 14 DPO and AF has not shown. I could be 11-13DPO… so I am not sure what’s going on.

Still ongoing nausea, possibly heightened sense of smell (could be wrong, and just very aware) and my boobs are feeling sorer by the day. Went from feeling fine to exhausted once on the train home.

Test was negative yesterday. Not sure what’s happening over here!

Ugh that’s frustrating! You could be on the lower end of DPO?

I think I must be. Got home and tested. Negative. I didn’t test this morning…

Utter rubbish. I doubt this cycle will be the one for us.

Does anyone have experience of vivid dreams during early DPO? I’ve been having the strangest dreams but don’t want to read too much into it!

Not in early DPO, but I have had them when pregnant. I had them a few days ago. They were awful, horrid dreams but very vivid!

Maybe it’s too early for me then and it’s just a coincidence! Just very odd as I never remember my dreams!

Fahhh I’m sorry :( bodies are frustrating. I don’t think this is our month either so will probably be joining the next thread too ✌️

Nicola1988 · 11/09/2024 18:50

Yeah. So frustrating!

Sending lots of baby dust (or egg dust?!) your way! How long is the process after your scan if the follicles look good?

How reliable are easy @ home tests?
I came back yesterday from holiday and caved in and tested :/
First one was just with warm water to test the batch (done this morning)
Second one was last night at about 8dpo
Third one was this morning at about 9dpo

The lines appeared within 2-3 minutes but maybe they're meant to be darker? Could also be evap as I'm new to this I'm not sure!

Those are 100% positive!! At 8/9dpo looks like a totally normal level! Congratulations!!

Eee that’s exciting that it happens quickly. Hoping for a great scan with lots of healthy follicles
