@CustardCream31 Morning, theres like a tiny image of something but i've never had a postitve test so not the best one to ask haha. If it is BFP congratulations, resisting here still the same, no symptoms whatsoever getting me down now, me and dp are away tonight but I don't really want to go with all this on my mind

9dpo today.... and have a squinter of a line I think. Was there after around 3-5 mins (checked after showering straight away!!)... so hard to photograph though. What do you ladies think??

I can see something when I zoom in. However I had one similar a couple of months back and it didn't amount to anything. Really hoping its a pos for you though. Retest in a couple of days x

littlefox90 · 14/02/2025 10:00

I've been OPK testing for 5 cycles. Not sure if I'll be out this month as my peak was yesterday at CD25 which is pretty late 😕

laidir · 14/02/2025 13:21

@CustardCream31 I see a faint line. Like your name btw.

@littlefox90 I didn't get my peak on OPK until CD21/22 this month. How long are your cycles usually?

I'm 8/9DPO today.
Took a wondfo test this am. Think it's an indent line because it has barely any colour to it at all, it's sooo thin, it's basically like a little indent where the test 'would' pick up. Does anyone know what I mean? I've never had an indent before, just stark white, so possibly it could be the very start of something but I am not counting it as a positive. I have a FRER arriving today and will do tomorrow morning.

Symptoms (or not) - no breast soreness at all, still got the weird 'thirsty' / dry / coated feeling in my mouth, slight nausea at times (but I do get this anyway sometimes), cramps are more period-like now. I think the nausea and weird taste in mouth could be the vitamin B6 / folic I've been taking since last week, although I did not take any yesterday and still felt nausea and weird taste. Does anyone else get these side effects with these vitamins?

Normally my peak is between day 19 and 21 and average cycle length is 31 days. Had an odd one of 40 days a few months ago but think that was my body readjusting after my MMC. So might have pushed my average out a bit.

I hope that your faint line turns into a BFP ❤️

Joleyjojo · 14/02/2025 14:56

I can definitely see something. Fingers crossed it’s the start of your BFP!
I tested again 9dpo BFN. If still negative tomorrow I would say I am out .
these sore painful boobs have totally thrown me this month. Never have them as a AF symptom ever so if I am not pregnant then my body has been very cruel.
mid you asked me a few days ago I was convinced I was. Now I’m 80/20 to not. Will see what happens next few days. AF due Monday x

Nosejug · 14/02/2025 15:46

Hey all, I'm a bit late to join this but am about 4 or 5 dpo today. Tiny little cramps but probably it's too early for that to be anything good. Just to say, my body has tricked me a good few times with sore boobs/sharp little cramps/funny chemical taste (though that taste was strongest when I actually was pregnant so it could mean something!) Only once have I been pregnant (mmc) and I knew nothing about it till I tested! I was just planning on some wine but had a funny feeling I shouldnt. I had a failed ivf last month and had two "positive" tests which actually were an evaporation line and an indent line. Gutting, esp as I didn't know they existed at the time.

@CustardCream31 if it were me I'd be tentatively excited about that result, and I'd probably be obsessively testing heh. Hope it gets stronger tomorrow!

littlefox90 · 14/02/2025 18:07

@nosejug I know what you mean. I had a MMC last June, absolutely no symptom and tested when AF was a week late. Now im TTC again and I get all sort of symptoms that convince me ill get a BFP that always amount to nothing. Odd cramps, neasea, discharge that isn't my norm. Honestly my Google history is mental 🤣

Nosejug · 15/02/2025 07:14

Hah @littlefox90 I've sometimes gone through historic phone browser tabs to close them and can see little pools of obsessive googling. They certainly tell a story! Good luck this month :)

CustardCream31 · 15/02/2025 07:26

Thanks guys! It's stronger this morning 🥰 hope this little bean sticks...... 💫🌈🤞🏻(won't let me attach a picture for some reason?!)

@laidir ha, thank you. Bet you can't guess which sort of biscuits I can finish a pack of with a cuppa!! 😋

Really hoping to see some more BFPs on here in the next few days... it's such a hard wait 😣

Joleyjojo · 15/02/2025 08:20

Congratulations!!
I had a bfn today 10dpo my body is so cruel this month. But that being said I just want my period to come to go through it all again. I know 10dpo is early but I have always had BFP well very feint lines by now, so 90% sure I am out xxx

Nosejug · 15/02/2025 09:23

I've definitely read stories of slightly later bfps joleyjojo, though I totally get needing to move on.

Really pleased to read your news @CustardCream31 !! How exciting :D

I'd say I'm about 6 dpo today (but my opks were a bit all over the place) and had some spotting today... it's either hormonal imbalance bringing my period very early (totally possible after failed ivf last cycle) or cervical ectropion (which I've had before) or possibly, possibly implantation bleeding?? Trying to reign in excitement. It's not likely as ttc 3 years.

littlefox90 · 15/02/2025 09:30

@custardcream31 I'm so pleased it's darker today 🤞 for a sticky bean ❤️

laidir · 15/02/2025 12:45

So I have a faint line!!

Not getting excited because I have proper period cramps. For me I get cramps often throughout the month, but period cramps are different, and since yesterday I have had period cramps, so I am worried it's so early and it's not going to stay. I've had losses before, even when I was young, and now with me being 37 and DP 46 I know it's even more likely.

But for now, I am happy. Not sure how or if I should tell DP yet. He only reluctantly agreed to ttc after years of me asking, and this week he's been having work and family problems and is in such a mood. Worried if I tell him, then miscarry he won't want to try again, or he will tell our teenage son early and interpret a bad reaction from him, and then if I miscarry won't try again etc. Sorry my mind is whirring.

5 dpo anyone else?
SimJac2025 · 15/02/2025 14:43

Ladies with BFPs so happy for you. Unfortunately AF has come today 4 days early, last month was 9 days late, am in tears yet again onto month 6 but I will leave this thread as no use to me now.
Good luck to all those waiting and baby dust being sent to everyone

@CustardCream31 brilliant. I hope it sticks too!!! 🥰

I am 90% sure to be out this month. 6 days before AF due and I am wiped. I'm guessing it's a drop in hormones which usually happens around this time but sometimes shows as a drop in mood.

Does anyone else experience massive tiredness at this point?

Totally understand the stress re. Will it stick... when is AF due?

I get why you'd be worried about that. Although really you should be able to lean on him for support about something like this if it was to go Pete tong, and I mean that kindly.

Crossing fingers for you too... 💫

Also, that's a lovely line for how many dpo 🥰 and the weird taste in your mouth is exactly what I get each time.
Hope it sticks for you 🥰

I find pregnancy tiredness a whole new level at this point, even this early. So it could be a good sign! 🤞🏻

I'm sorry I hadn't seen your post earlier.
Sorry it's not happening this month. Totally understand the heartache. Sending good wishes your way and let's hope for the next one

Has anyone else stopped drinking? What do you say?

I've just been to a 60th get together, Ive stopped drinking and a couple of people commented. When I say oh I just don't drink now they assume I'm pregnant 😫

Joleyjojo · 16/02/2025 20:39

I had another BFN at 11dpo my period comes on 12 DPO but not sure if the CP will mess it up. I’m not having any AF signs but knowing I’m out I just want my period. Exciting for those with BFP ! And positive vibes to us all going again. Xxx

TTCbaby2xox · 17/02/2025 06:51

Just had a BFN on a wondfo 11DPO.

Good luck everyone still waiting and those of us going again...
