I’m CD12 today started SMEP on CD9 , had high reading on CB CD9 waiting for peak. I can ovulate late in cycles so this could be quite gruelling 😂😂😂😂😂

All I can say is good luck and rest in peace to any desire to DTD for the rest of the cycle after ovulation🤣🤣

Thank you for your reply. Ahh I'm hoping so much but I guess time will tell! I've realised you can't see the line in the picture I uploaded so here is it with flash on! X

This looks fab! Fingers crossed for you xx

Justbloodylovecrisps · 14/10/2024 22:41

@Emiily887 I don't even think it will picture tbh 🤣 the lighting is my house isn't great, but this is my one from earlier. Do you think it looks like a dye run? I'm pretty confident it is but I'm hopeful

@Joleyjojo I felt like I had just completed SAS who dares wins after SMEP'ing this cycle. You've got this ✌🏻

I see it!!

Justbloodylovecrisps · 14/10/2024 23:09

@LucyLou0527 I have a feeling it's a dye run tbh as it's not a completely straight line, but it's nice having that bit of hope isn't it!

I did another one this evening and I swear I can see a line but honestly I feel like I can always see one on the easy@home tests..

Someone needs to put them in the bin, why can't I just be patient and wait for my period 😂🫣

deleteitforpro59 · 15/10/2024 04:24

I'm convinced I'm pregnant and also trying to prepare myself for how crushed il be if the st is negative (for yet another month) this weekend.

I have two DS 7+5

I always wanted a smaller age gap if having a third, but after having a miscarriage years ago had convinced myself I was done with two.

Turns out I'm still desperate for 3DC and don't think the feeling will ever pass.

I have had cramps in lower back and tummy for a good 5 days now. I usually only get this a day before period.

Yesterday I started feeling incredibly dizzy. All day and evening.

My tummy feels odd. I feel so strange.

My nose feels strange - like it did before when I was pregnant , but also how it feels when my period is a day away.

If I'm not pregnant this time I am never listening to my body again as what on earth.

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 07:19

@Justbloodylovecrisps I see it too! But I see what you mean, the colour is a bit uneven so hard to tell if it's a positive or an evap 🤔 I'd be testing again!

I tested this morning at 9 DPO and got a vvvvvv faint line, also not sure if it's an indent or a positive 😂

AnonymousSGJB · 15/10/2024 07:56

Emiily887 · 14/10/2024 21:31

How was your weekend away? Relaxing and enjoyable I hope!!🥰
wow that has gone soooo fast!! If you manage to go without testing I’m going to try so hard to follow suit!! I always get the ‘but what if it’s positive’ urge and then just go test mad after that😂😂

I'm at 12dpo and haven't felt the need to test yet (which is probably a first) I think it's after the awful experience I had last month being so sure I'd conceived to realise it was all just in my head 🤦🏽‍♀️💔 I'm not mentally prepared to face looking at another negative test yet so I will just wait it out. If there's no negative test, there's still hope 🤞🏽 I really hope to see some positive tests appearing on this thread though. I think we all could do with a bit of positivity and hope.

@AnonymousSGJB very much resonating with this. Last month I was also convinced I was pregnant and ended up feeling so annoyed with my body that it could give me all the "signs" it did. I found it very hard when my period came.

I'm only 9dpo today but keeping telling myself it's just PMS for now. Aiming to wait until Friday/Saturday when I'm due, and see if it appears or not. For some reason my mindset is totally different this month from the last few cycles.

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 09:36

@owlcat24 oh trust me, I did test again ✌🏻🫣 I have some other brands that I might try today to mix it up a bit you know? 🤣

Omgg let's see a pic!!

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 09:40

@Justbloodylovecrisps it's dry now of course but the vvv faint line was there straightaway. I never had indents on easy@home tests but I know others did so I'm not convinced and will retest with a different test later!

Lucky october?🤞🏼
Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 09:47

@owlcat24 I see it!! I examine these things meticulously on a monthly basis & I only ever get those well after the time frame. If only you could get a job as a professional POAS examiner 🤣

Do you have a FRER?

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 09:51

@Justbloodylovecrisps unfortunately not! But I do have more of easy@home tests from a different batch, I used quite a few of them last month and didn't get any line whatsoever, even long after the timeframe, so if that one gives me a line I'll believe it 😂

Did you test this morning? Any lines? 👀

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 10:02

@owlcat24 ahh maybe dip one from each batch the next time you test then you'll know 😊

I've done a clear blue ultra early and BFN, so it must have been an indent/evap. I do have some boots ones that I might try later on, but I know they are a bugger for evaps!

Keep us updated!! ❤️

I see a line on that one, how many dpo are you? I'm only 4 and killing me not testing already haha

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 10:42

Just did another test (because I'm impatient like that and can't resist the urge 😂) and can see a very faint line again, took the photo with a couple of mins so definitely in the timeframe! Top is one from first thing this morning and second is now. It's not just me right?!

@JoMummyJessica I'm 9DPO today, I said I'd hold off until 10DPO but the urge was too strong 🤣

@Justbloodylovecrisps sorry you had negatives after a glimpse of hope! I don't rate clear blue tests though and don't trust them.. how many DPO are you?

Lucky october?🤞🏼
Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 10:51

@owlcat24 I love it. I did precisely that yesterday. Will continuously advocate for thorough testing - you've gotta be sure haven't you 🤣

I see them! How exciting! How long have you been trying?

Yep, I told myself clear blue are rubbish so it doesn't count. Holding in my pee for a few hours before I go again 🤪

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 10:52

@owlcat24 also I'm 9DPO too! FF is saying 8, but premom is saying 9 but I got 3 peak days this month so I don't actually know

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 11:30

@Justbloodylovecrisps ah so do you think you could be earlier than 9DPO? Anyway, it is still sooo early, definitely don't count yourself out yet! I didn't get a line until 10DPO with my son and even then it was very faint. And I know some who don't get lines until 12/13/14 DPO so until AF is here, there is hope!

Update us when you test again!

LuxyLocket · 15/10/2024 11:40

@owlcat24 I can definitely see those lines! 💕💕🤞🤞

@Pricklypickles @AnonymousSGJB I totally feel this too as I was convinced I was last month and then hit such a low when AF came. I’m 7dpo today and that’s why I don’t trust myself to start testing in a few days as I don’t want to get my hopes up too much.
felt nauseous this morning at work which was unusual for me. Then very hungry. But who knows. I’m not letting myself symptom spot too much this time as it’s cruel when our bodies trick us. Also isnt it so frustrating that so many early pregnancy symptoms are the same as PMS!!

LucyLou0527 · 15/10/2024 11:50

@owlcat24 congratulations this looks great!

Guys if I DTD twice yesterday and peaked in the afternoon and test is looking lighter this morning, do I need to DTD today?

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 11:54

@LucyLou0527 I would just to cover all bases! You can ovulate up to 2-3 days after the peak 😊

owlcat24 · 15/10/2024 11:55

@LucyLou0527 thank you, although I'm not getting excited yet as want to see some progression.

On DTD, wouldn't do any harm, but I wouldn't worry too much if you're not up to it, you should be covered from yesterday 🤞

Justbloodylovecrisps · 15/10/2024 11:57

@owlcat24 honestly I got pregnant accidentally with my first so this is a minefield. Every month I get more and more crazy with the testing & symptom spotting. I think I might be 8dpo, but I don't temp so I'm just going off premom.

Just trying to hold me pee in for another 30 mins until it's been 4 hours 🤣
