@Lou98x promising that you had a vf positive! Let me know how you get on, crossing my fingers for you.
Well I’m even more confused now as I started spotting tonight. Im hoping it’s an implantation bleed? Today has been such a mix of emotions!! Will test again tomorrow or see if AF turns up full flow but I’m not having any cramps or anything like I usually do with AF and it’s just very light bleeding at the moment. So I’m still holding out a bit of hope as the test I took earlier that showed a bit of pink within time frame definitely got stronger after I left it for a while and looks positive. Never had one of these lines before on and early at home so praying it’s the real deal! Keep me updated ☺️x

AF arrived for me this morning so I'm out. Fingers crossed for next month 🤞🏼

Thank you! This morning’s test, although still faint, is most definitely positive!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP and AF stays away! Let me know!🩷

@Lou98x awwwww a massive congratulations!!! Over the moon for you! i hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! ❤️

I have taken another test this morning and it’s negative! Attached a pic of this mornings and yesterdays. Reading up on things it may be that it’s a chemical pregnancy? The bleeding hasn’t got any heavier yet though? I have no idea what is going on? Will wait to see if AF arrives properly. Wishing you all the best ☺️

Sorry to see you’ve had a negative ☹️ keeping everything’s crossed that this works out for you 🤞🏼

SarahB88 · 13/01/2025 08:14

Stupidly took a test this morning at 8DPO and obviously it was negative! If I was on a 26 day cycle this month I’ll start spotting today so will look out for that but I’m having loads of pregnancy type discharge and I’m exhausted so I’m holding out hope.

I checked back and I didn’t get a positive with my DD until CD27, unsure when I ovulated as I wasn’t tracking that cycle so I know I’ve tested early today. I’ve got loads of cheap and good tests available for using so hopefully it’s good news and AF doesn’t rear her head.

Mumzydarling12 · 13/01/2025 08:40

Thank you @Lou98x ☺️x
crossing my fingers for you @SarahB88 ! It’s such a rollercoaster. X

SarahB88 · 13/01/2025 08:49

@MummyV2021 it is isn’t it!! Hope you have some clarity on your spotting soon.

I’ve done my OPK this morning (forgot to do yesterday) and it’s really dark so hopefully that’s a good sign 🤞 but I had that with my CP so feeling anxious as well. My partners told me to stay strong and wait til Thursday to test as that will officially be missed AF day, we’ll see 😂 I’m deffo not testing tomorrow though. Hoping this short LP is ok but I think I’ve always had an LP around 10-12 days and have had a successful pregnancy before.

blackberryhill · 13/01/2025 09:15

So many positives in this thread! Congratulations all and hope things progress smoothly.

Positive OPK for me on Saturday (conveniently timed for my son's sleepover at his nan's) and temperatures on the up so tentatively putting myself at 1DPO and in the TWW. Aiming not to test until 12DPO which will be Friday 24th.

Alex2022 · 13/01/2025 11:23

Yes lots of lovely news this month! Sending dust to all! I am 9DPO and couldn't resist testing this morning, of course I got a negative but couldn't help! Will be here symptom spotting & driving myself crazy for the next week!! 🙃

Hi all. I've been reading along the last week or so as it's my first month TTC. I'm 38 so thinking it would take us a bit longer!
Anyway, I thought I was out this month as my AF arrived a few days ago. However this was very light and not like my typical period. The bleeding had completely stopped so I thought I'd take a test to be sure. All tests up to this point were stark white. This one has a faint line though. I don't dare to hope but I'm resisting the urge to test again until the morning! Can anyone see what I can? It's so hard to pick up a decent picture on my phone.

I've tested again this morning and I think a definite positive 🤞🏻the bleeding I had has also completely stopped so must have been implantation bleeding. It was quite a bit more than spotting so interesting to know it can be heavier for some people. Also, really sore boobs and very high cervix 😬
Good luck to everyone wherever you are on the journey! X

Hi Guys just wanted to ask if any could see anything on this test had to change contrast as it still early I'm 10dpo. I knowww it's too early but can't help it hahaha xx

DogMum99 · 13/01/2025 14:21

How early can a test be positive after ovulation? I'm 6dpo and obviously couldn't resist testing this morning lol, and I'm so sure there is a line there! Camera cant pick the line up but now I'm thinking I must have line eyes as surely 6dpo is too early?! 😆

So lovely to see all the positive tests in this group!!

You don't implant until 6po at a minimum so earliest a test will pick up something is 8dpo.

BerrieSweet · 13/01/2025 14:23

@DogMum99 Maybe you ovulated earlier than you though?🥰

DogMum99 · 13/01/2025 14:37

BerrieSweet · 13/01/2025 14:23

@DogMum99 Maybe you ovulated earlier than you though?🥰

Maybe! If I was going by the date that my app said I was meant to ovulate, I would actually be 10dpo so maybe i did! It's all so confusing 🥲. I'll test again in the morning and hope for the best but trying not to get my hopes up!

How are you doing my lovely? Last I saw on here, you was waiting for af to arrive if I remember correctly? X

BerrieSweet · 13/01/2025 14:48

@DogMum99 Oh maybe!! I hope It's even stronger tomorrow😍

99% sure I'm out as I'm spotting and still BFN yesterday morning. 🫠 My AF is so off, 3 days late and only spotting, no cramps. I always have heavy flow very quickly and pretty bad cramps so something feels weird but maybe I'm just over-analyzing it 🥰

My spotting stopped a couple of days after I ovulated thankfully and all back to normal now. Should be 10DPO today and if normally be testing already but managing to resist the urge. I've had zero symptoms so no reason to suspect anything anyway. Had a few cramps here and there but could be anything! Fingers crossed your OPK means something! I don't do OPKs after I confirm my peak, can't be bothered 🤣

Annie2288 · 13/01/2025 15:21

@WaitingEA i dont know if i can see anything

Annie2288 · 13/01/2025 15:22

can anyone help her im the worst my line eyes will make up stuff

That’s good about the spotting, hopefully just an ovulation thing.

I thought I’d carry on testing as apparently LH and HCG show up in similar ways so if you’re getting a dark OPK around when AF is due it could be HCG that’s not strong enough for a pregnancy test.

I’m really not sure though, I’m still so crampy today and it feels like AF cramps but I don’t tend to cramp until day 2 of that. I remember being really crampy when pregnant before but I’m not sure it was happening this early.

Going to resist the urge to test tomorrow and do one Wednesday when AF is due. The clear blue website is telling me their ultra early test won’t pick anything up until Thursday though based on my ovulation date so unless AF arrives on or before Wednesday then I’ve still a bit of a wait ahead 😩

MummyV2021 · 13/01/2025 16:29

@SarahB88 I know what you mean about cramps... I normally get them first day of AF and that's it, sometimes the day after but never before so cramping now is unusual for me but then you wonder if you always get them but just don't pay as much attention to your body when you're not TTC. Hahaha! Trying not to drive myself mad!

AF is due Friday for me but I've got a work party on Thursday so will likely test Thursday to see if I can have a cheeky drink or not!
