@MyGardenDaisies I can’t see anything but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there, I’ve found cameras often don’t pick it up if the light isn’t just right. Have you tried turning up the contrast? Still super early too so plenty of time for an obvious line to develop.

I’m holding out so far and haven’t bought a test. I looked back at my last pregnancy and I had an obvious positive on 9 dpo. So that is 5/6 days away for me.

MyGardenDaisies · 30/12/2024 13:35

@Cinnamonbunn I did another test with another brand test and increased contrast and see a vvvvv faint shadow too.

it’s probably also in my imagination 😄

Can anyone see a super faint line? Or am I being delusional Blush

@momofonex sorry I don’t think I can but take the advice everyone is giving me and test again tomorrow 😄

Tweaking the contrast shows a bit more but it's so hard to get on camera!

I know, I'd be giving that same advice to someone else! @MyGardenDaisies but it's hard to follow when it's yourself BlushSmile

I definitely see a line on the latest photo you posted though

@MyGardenDaisies @momofonex I think I can see them in these newer photos 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hey ladies! My rollercoaster cycle has come to an end finally... I had a chemical and started AF on 21st December which lasted 5 days but I started bleeding again yesterday and was still testing positive so ended up in A&E for checks and bloods to rule out ectopic. Have been for a scan this morning and confirmed a complete miscarriage and a negative pregnancy test so all happy that everything is now as it should be. No idea what this next cycle is going to be like given the extended window of positive tests and the additional bleed so not going to track at all this month. Just going to DTD when we feel like it and see what happens as the nurse said it could be another 4-6 weeks for my period from today so who knows!!

SarahB88 · 30/12/2024 15:21

@MummyV2021 so sorry to hear about your CP and the bleeding issues ☹️ I also had CP on the 21st so here’s hoping for positive vibes for us

Lavenderrose92 · 30/12/2024 15:34

does drinking lots of water effect the easy at home ovulation kits?
ive drank loads today and my urine is very clear and pale but my ovation number has dropped significantly

Yes I find that this happens with me too. I seem to get another good line in the evening so will try again tonight as sure my surge is coming as line was so strong this morning at 10am but nothing picked up at 1.30pm as I was really hydrated. I’m going to stop drinking around 5 so I can hopefully get a meaningful test in.

KittyFantastica · 30/12/2024 15:59

I see it on that one @MyGardenDaisies! Crossing fingers for you 🤞

I think I maaaaaybe see the slightest glow on the inverted one @momofonex, but would wait until the next test for confirmation 🤞

Kateb149 · 30/12/2024 16:06

@MyGardenDaisies I didn’t see the line on the earlier photos but think I can see something on the latest photo you posted!
That would be super early for 7DPO so hopefully the line gets darker over the next few days 🤞 exciting!

MyGardenDaisies · 30/12/2024 16:26

Thank you all, I will report back either way 😄
(
gonna get some more tests for tomorrow, hopefully from different brands again

try a digital one as they are more sensitive ☺️ good luck!

MyGardenDaisies · 30/12/2024 18:45

@Lavenderrose92 I have wasted so much money on digitals, that now I ideally wouldn’t test at all until after missed period, but I’m breaking my own promises 🙃

Kinderbueno89 · 30/12/2024 20:12

@MyGardenDaisies I do actually think I can see the red that you mention. So hard to know if it’s a line or not but I can see the colour there on your photo with arrows.

is extreme hunger a symptom? Or have I just got used to eating all day because of Christmas?

MyGardenDaisies · 30/12/2024 20:18

@Kinderbueno89 haha it could be! Pre-period and early pregnancy is very similar.

The day after the peak would count as ovulation day (although ovulation can happen up to 48 hours after the peak). So 2-3 days after the peak = 1dpo

Thank you! Makes trying to understand all the dates even more confusing! I thought because it's my second time I'd remember everything and be all clued up but I have no idea all over again

Thomsonetthompson · 30/12/2024 23:28

MyGardenDaisies will cross my fingers for you tomorrow morning!!!!

Room4onemore · 30/12/2024 23:29

Think I had my
peak this afternoon so trying to get hubby into bed lol

Currently 4 DPO and I don't know how I'm gonna make the time go, even if I keep myself distracted I can only think about if I'm pregnant haha. I took a test today, very negative 😂 Only first cycle trying, but have wanted this baby for a few years so I'm just very excited. If you have any tips, please let me know <3

PeaceBeStill · 31/12/2024 00:29

Thank you so much

Really sorry to hear about your CP too lovely. Fingers crossed for us both. Hope you're holding up ok 😘

MyGardenDaisies · 31/12/2024 08:26

@Thomsonetthompson thank you xx

I am only 8DPO I think, and don’t have any more 10miu/ml sensitive tests left, I could only find the ones after a missed period in shops yesterday, and don’t want to Amazon Prime sensitive cheapies to my NYE celebration place as it’s not my home, so will now just wait and see if AF arrives on Friday

momofonex · 31/12/2024 08:34

Hey guys; I'm now 10DPO. I'm sure this line is a little bit less faint than yesterday's? 🥰
