TTC Jan 2025

[YKM2829]

Hellloo.
Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January?
I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

I'm due on Sat/sun so I'm hoping (🤞) I don't come on and I can test on Monday. I was planning to buy a clear blue test but I see a lot of people using these: amzn.eu/d/enW3q88

Are they better?

Okay....I need help 😅😭😭
One of these is from yesterday, and I'm comparing with one I just took tonight, just to see if there's any darkening.
The one on the bottom is tonight's.

Can anyone maybe give brief details of what their implantation bleeding was like. With my first it was more like just literally 2 spots of slightly pink wee.

Also feel free to say you don't see anything at all 😅

I see a line on the bottom test! It's definitely there!

I see faint lines on both of these! I've no tips on implantation bleeding unfortunately. I had none with my son. I had almost like a light period in August as implantation bleeding, but that pregnancy ended in miscarriage.

Here is my test from yesterday eve and the day before. I don't think the line is progressing and it's very faint, so not sure what to do yet about my surgery planned for Friday :(

Personally as soon as i clicked on the photo I saw the bottom ones line first so I'd say maybe it is ever so slightly darker??? But still faint??

Honestly in person it wasn't as pale as in the phone it was so hard to get the light right because mine was done so late last night.
But the one on the bottom is watched it right from dipping it in the pee pot onwards and that line defiantly showed up before 10 minutes and when it did dry it did look slightly I dunno purple maybe????? Like there was a slight tinge on colour to the line in person I mean??

For me my periods are usually really heavy like deep dark red lots of clots and like a day like yesterday at work I should have soaked a regular tampon through in 2 to 3 hours but this bleeding it is red but it's defiantly almost like it's been watered down, and like this morning I haven't even needed a tampon in at all, and I've only been bleeding since yesterday morning 🤔 idk 😅😅🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh and I usually use green super tampons from aldi but this time I only need the yellow regular ones and it isn't even soaking fully through that even the one from while I was asleep like usually a super would leak in the night at least in the first 48 hours

Sorry it's know tmi, it's just with implantation with my daughter or early pregnancy bleeding it was almost like slightly pink liquid and just 1 like snotty blood bit in my discharge, I very easily could have missed it last time tbh if I wasn't looking for it.

Yeah so if it wasn't for my bleeding yesterday I'd 100 percent be like yeah I see a line.

But it makes me question 😅

@YKM2829 have you tested today? I've got my fmu in a pot waiting because I need to go get another test 😂😂

Probably not untill Thursday when I can get another test 🤦🏽‍♀️😫😫😫

Tmi warning blood

This is what it is like this morning and has been since late last night really. It was only a slightly brighter red than that in colour but not any thicker than this picture yesterday day time.

If it stops like tonight or in the morning I'll still test maybe I dunno lol x

I googled it about mine yesterday and maybe pop the pot in the fridge while you grab a test? 🙈

Ladies what do you recon is going on?

I am actively trying for a baby. My periods are usually like clock work. I am 4 days late on my period, 15 days post ovulation, but still getting negative pregnancy tests.
Out of curiosity I have done a couple ovulation tests as I read online that a positive ovulation test can be an indication of early pregnancy due to it not being able to determine which hormone is elevated . Anyways , the ovulation tests have been coming back high like I’m about to ovulate.

I feel absolutely no different in myself and have no symptoms. Do you think my body is just having a wobble this month and I could potentially just be missing my period or do I keep testing as it may be too early to detect? I’m new to all this so looking for advice.

Thank you x

I mean, it could be your pregnancy tests are sensitive enough, are you using 10miu or 20 or 25? 10 is the most sensitive.
But even then sometimes it could be 16dpo before you get a proper good dark line, also the light blue ones are notorious for being dodgy, then again ATM I've had 3 brands of pink dyebstrips and they had indents in them.

But I have really irregular periods too September I bled 3 times for about 4 days each and had about 3 or 4 days break too, and it could also be a really wobbly month too I get them alot like one random period like the September one that just does whatever the hell it wants 🤦🏽‍♀️

@YKM2829 it doesn't look like a period to me, but bodies are so confusing!

I'd keep testing as I definitely see faint lines!

@ThatDreamyLion I am no expert but I think I have read an LH test will pick up
Pregnancy but quite late on so the pregnancy tests should be showing up. Can you get a boots ultra early?

So interesting development today

On CD 25 today and 9dpo
And I'm lightly bleeding?

Normally AF arrives with a bang. Like, calling my husband from work to bring me new trousers type of bang so the kind of bleeding only visible on toilet paper is a bit different.

Didn't have anything like this with the pregnancy that ended in early MC but I suppose that was never a 'normal' pregnancy so can't really use as a benchmark

HCG tests negative but cautiously getting my hopes up

I’ve tried 10mIU , clear blue digital and non digital and boots own brand and all are negative :(

I do ovulate late in my cycle , 2 weeks before start of period so I dunno whether that would mean it may take longer to show up what do you think?

yeah a wobbly month could be a possibility then! Mind field isn’t it xxx

Yeah I have done a boots ultra early and clear blue early and both negative , which makes me think am I ovulating ? And that’s why it’s delayed my period … but if I am then my cycle length would be like 37 days long lol

I had a 42 day cycle in September so it's possible x

@ThatDreamyLion it could be a long cycle! I'm on cycle day 34 today, and not yet 14dpo!

Ergh still don't know what to think.

Been bleeding all day and mild cramps, looks like yours @YKM2829. Would have expected it to become a proper flow by now if it was AF. Have you done any tests today?

I really thought implantation bleeding would be just a couple of tiny spots, easy to miss.

Yeah mine usually hits me like someone sliced me open, loads of thick dark red blood usually right off the bat, soaking through super tampons in about 2 to 3 hours, usually lots of clots and mine usually last a good 4 or 5 days of consistent bleeding before turning lighter and doesn't return to normal untill around 6 to 7 days.

With my daughter, it was more like snotty discharge with a streak of blood, and some light pink drops and it was just that 1s one day and nothing else.
So for me this is even alot of blood for implantation but I've been doing research into implantation as technically they don't know if implantation bleeding is a thing as so many women are pregnant and don't have it at all. 🤷‍♀️

However mine tonight has lessened significantly barely visible on a pad now, and even all day it's not really been enough for a pad I just wanted to keep an eye on it.

And the only tests I have now are 25miu and the line I got yesterday was on a 10miu so ill test in morning just to see if something comes up but I'm not expecting it too even if I am pregnant. I need to order more 10miu or just stop being a cheap skate and pay a tenner for a clear blue digital early detection 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️
