I’m 3dpo, 4th month of trying for no2. im sat here with cramping and needing to wee more frequently than usual.
with my first I had symptoms from 2DPO and got a BFP at 9dpo.

anyone else in the long wait and want to join?

Me. 7 months of trying. 5mg Letrozole this cycle. USS on CD 11 showed far more follicles than I’ve had before, but only one dominant so dr gave us the go ahead to try as usual as I have low AMH and my DP has male factor too. Chances of us conceiving at all slim, never mind conceiving loads of babies 🤣

I think I’m 9dpo, had some RT sided pelvic stitch type discomfort on a dog walk yesterday, boobs are full and firm and my nipples want everyone to know about them. I daren’t let myself hope though.

I also have PMDD and my luteal phase hasn’t been anywhere as bad this month, but I’ve really made the effort with supplements, sleep and CBD.

I’m 10DPO, couldn’t wait and tested, but negative. Always tell myself that means it’s probably a no, but still hold out hope until AF. Had no idea there would be so much waiting, thought I’d just “know” straight away😅

Hi all,

Looking for some advice. Had a vvfl yesterday at 11DPO. I'm not sure what I was expecting this morning, but I was expecting darker. I only see it's slightly darker on the tests. What do you think?

I caved and tested this morning and sadly very clearly negative! Guessing I'm out now and this is just my body gearing up for my period to show up on Sunday. I never know how things will work out cuz it took us 18 months for my first, 2 months for my second who sadly passed and now this would be month three of trying for our next. Crazy bodies!

Yep I see it!! Give it another couple of days and test again, the colour looks good for 11/12dpo 😊

@lbj23 a line is a line 🥰🥰🥰

ljb23 · 22/08/2024 09:03

@CadoAvo thanks for the reassurance! I panicked myself this morning!

I'm definitely going to stop testing shortly! Just wanted the reassurance I wasn't making it up yesterday 🤣

😂😂 hcg doubles every 2 days I think... so if you get the urge again, do it in a couple of days. I reckon you'd see good line progression then!

I'm 7dpo I think 🤔 have lots of encouraging symptoms, and something feels different this cycle 🤞 I didn't get a positive till after my missed period with my first.... So not sure when I'll test! X

ljb23 · 22/08/2024 11:33

@Dullblue1234
Yes definitely rather than freaking myself out! Ooo fingers crossed for you!! Sending baby dust!!

Samthenanny · 22/08/2024 12:34

6dpo I think or could be 7.

i definitely feel different to how I felt last month, I kind of feel like I did when I had a chemical so we’ll see.
with my first my boobs hurt from about 3dpo but they where tiny 🤣 they’re not so small now and fed my little one for 15 months so I’m thinking they might not hurt this time around.

im having dull central cramps, tingly nipples, tired, sicky feeling and weeing lots more oh and yesterday I cried over stupid things

Hi there, I feel you! I had a vfl yesterday at 10dpo and this morning again! Just to compare colours, I tested LH too and yes, I see a vvvfl but this is the first time in my life testing pregnancy (2nd month TTC)

I don't know what to think, but defo I will keep testing until I see a negative or AF shows up 😁

Oooh this looks like what my previous tests looked like at 9/10 dpo. I'd say a congratulations were in order 🥰

Thank you! O don't wanna have many hope... Just in case! I've been readinf, watching and talking about this since yesterday so I'll keep testing until I see otherwise but hey, what a long run is this! I thought getting pregnant it was a one wild night thing 😂

ljb23 · 22/08/2024 19:41

@Saramirez that definitely looks like a line to me! Congratulations 🥳

Daisyoopsies · 23/08/2024 06:13

I'm 1dpo today and would like to join :) cycle 5 with baby 2. Dd1 was a first attempt baby so this is all very new to me. Hoping it's out month.

ljb23 · 23/08/2024 06:51

Morning.

Unfortunately I think this maybe a chemical pregnancy for me. Doesn't seem to be getting darker at all 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ljb23 it takes 48 hours for hormone levels to double so you would essentially be getting the same test reading for about 3 days in a row before seeing lines getting darker

1441x · 23/08/2024 08:00

Joining in, 2DPO, I used up all my tests last month and refusing to buy any until 12dpo...we'll see how long that lasts

Loudandclear · 23/08/2024 08:02

Can I join in too please! I'm getting closer to being able to test now so it's getting harder and harder to distract myself and forget about TTC.
Fifth month of trying, and now about 6 or 7dpo but we only managed to DTD once in our fertile window about 2 or 3 days before ovulation so I'm guessing our chances are low.
Hoping by some miracle it could be our month....

I hope you're right! I've ordered FRER to check, my last pregnancy ended in mmc. So I'm anxious

Let us know how it goes!! Hoping this is your month

@1441x ah yes, waiting and not javin any at home helps a lot! Since mines arrived on 10dpo I was freaking out so that same evening I have been testing...

Today is 12dpo for me, and last night the line was clearly visible, I've attached last night and this morning MFU... Not sure if I should try a digital test already? I'm afraid to see a negative, my period is due on Sunday, I think!

@Saramirez ah thats looks positive! Congrats!!!

I'm on 13dpo and 8 months ttc so not keen on testing and getting another bfn. But here I am symptom spotting and lurking on threads again 😆

Dullblue1234 · 23/08/2024 16:26

@singleflower I am literally the same.
I'm either 7po or 5po depending on which app I look at.... Obviously I tested this morn to a stark white, honestly I don't know why I did it 😂🙈
I've got lots of symptoms early of PMS this month, but trying to not get ahead of myself.

WhoOfWhoville · 23/08/2024 17:21

I did easyathome tests on 9dpo and 10dpo - both starkly negative. Just been and bought a two back of CB ultra early and will do one with tomorrows FMU which would be 12dpo as I’m going to a gig tomorrow night so would like to know if okay to have a drink or not.

I’ve been feeling very warm intermittently for the last few days, almost like hot flushes, needed to take my jacket off and tie it around my waist, and I went out for some food earlier and felt a bit nauseated afterwards. I’m symptom spotting of course, it’s hard not to!

My DP is away for 18 days next month climbing a big mountain (the very big one) and we won’t be able to try because of that, so it would be lovely for him to go knowing what joy he has to come home to, and I know my excitement if I was pregnant would ease some of the struggle of missing him.
