@Flowersflowers121 it must have been a woman who invented the clearblue “pregnant / not pregnant” test so men will believe us! How very exciting for you :) do you have any symptoms?!

how is everyone else doing in their cycle?

NavigatingLife · 25/05/2025 12:41

@Flowersflowers121how are you today?

@PurpleOrchids12345that's good your peak is here - good luck!!

I'm struggling with the weekend as it is giving me more time to think (and google) everything, whereas with work days I'm too busy to spend time counting days. I caved and did tests yesterday and today, both BFN as logically expected. Think the 3 apps and different DPO calcs are throwing me off... trying to get my brain to accept if I peaked on 15th the O was probs on 16th, so then I'm 9 DPO today so of course I was chancing it with tests and just to hold out for another few days but I'm too impatient!

Hi @NavigatingLife it’s a blessing and a curse having so much information at our fingertips! The two week wait can be absolute torture! Which three app are you using? I’ve given up on the clear blue one as it’s been horrendous!

Flowersflowers121 · 25/05/2025 17:40

@NavigatingLife helloooo, yes doing okay thanks! Got a positive on a digital today so hubby is on board hahah just fingers crossed it's a sticky one xxx hope you're all good

How is everyone?

@Flowersflowers121 fab news about your digital!! I’ve had my 2nd hcg blood test today. I’m feeling so anxious!! My tests do look good but my tests last night looked slightly darker than this morning but I was drinking so much overnight because I thought I had a uti so hoping it just that🤞🏻I hate the first trimester so much🤣

peps2917 · 25/05/2025 17:59

@Flowersflowers121 amazing news!! So tricky to navigate this first stage of pregnancy as you just don’t know if it will work out or not… let’s all hope all goes well for us!!!

Flowersflowers121 · 25/05/2025 18:11

@BGxxx hahaha awwh bless you! I'm sure it was just the excessive water drinking (hahaha) but fingers crossed for you, lovely!

@peps2917yesss, totally a 50/50 mix of excitement but insane worry and over thinking hahaha xxx

@PurpleOrchids12345- I have natural cycles, Fertility Friend and Premom... gunna stick with the premom one that has me at 9 DPO to try and keep some sanity!

@Flowersflowers121congrats on the digital - no line eyes to worry about and very clear answer fir your husband to also believe!

@BGxxxggood luck for your tests 💕

BGxxx · 25/05/2025 20:14

Panic over my tests are the darkest they’ve been🤣 I should stop testing

NavigatingLife · 28/05/2025 06:52

Morning all, how's everyone?

I'm 12 DPO today, still BFN, hope is disappearing for this month! Hope you all are doing okay 💕

PurpleOrchids12345 · 28/05/2025 09:59

Hi @NavigatingLife sorry to hear it’s a bfn at 12dpo. Do you have any symptoms? As they say, you are not out until AF shows up! I’m 3 dpo today, a little behind you.

how is everyone doing?

NavigatingLife · 28/05/2025 15:01

@PurpleOrchids12345very true - I just always have fingers crossed when I go to bathroom that AF hasn't appeared! Don't know if symptoms or not, definitely felt some slight cramping and aches (I know can also be AF) but my heart rate has gone through the roof which might be something?! It's so hard to know if things are symptoms/AF starting or if its all in my head. I have irregular cycles tho from memory when not on the pill, today being CD 35 so it's just longggggggg!

3 DPO already for you, that's going quick!

PurpleOrchids12345 · 28/05/2025 22:38

@NavigatingLife it sucks that every pms symptom could also be a pregnancy symptom. Yes my cycles aren’t very long, so already 3dpo. I have my fingers crossed for this ttw!

! @Flowersflowers121 @BGxxx @Michelle292 How are your pregnancy symptoms? Have I missed anyone out who’s had a BFP this month?

sending babydust to us all x

Flowersflowers121 · 29/05/2025 08:38

@NavigatingLife any luck today? Xxxx

@PurpleOrchids12345 just very tired and the odd cramp here and there! I had absolutely AWFUL sickness with my 1st from about 6 weeks - 24 weeks, so I'm praying and praying and prayinggggg that I don't get it as bad this time. I was losing the will to live, honestly haha. It was so horrible, but so conflicting because the pregnancy was soo wanted! Xx

NavigatingLife · 29/05/2025 09:29

@Flowersflowers121still BFN on a ClearBlue 5 day early test so not great... but also no AF. However bit of cramping/AF like feeling so thinking this cycle will come to at end soon. Also picked up a bad cold at the start of the week which has turned into what I think is a sinus infection so maybe that's delaying AF... who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Flowersflowers121 · 29/05/2025 09:47

@NavigatingLife ahh no, hope you feel better soon :( and hoping if it's still a BFN that AF arrives for you soon so you can't start your next cycle <3 can't remember which cycle you're on with your ttc journey xx

NavigatingLife · 30/05/2025 08:38

@Flowersflowers121thank you - AF appeared this morning so I'm out and back to CD1! Hope you're good and that your sickness like last pregnancy doesn't appear for you!

Fingers crossed for everyone else still on TWW for this month 💕

A2025 · 31/05/2025 09:56

9DPO today. Couldn’t resist doing another test. Completely clear yesterday but I see a faint line today… I know it could well be an evap too.🫣 What do ye think? Still early I know…

@A2025 looks like a BFP to me, congratulations! I also couldn’t resist, 9DPO today and I think I’ve got a BFP too!

A2025 · 31/05/2025 12:23

@Mycorallife Thank you! Still in shock.🫣 Hopefully it sticks. Aww that’s amazing news! Congrats to you too! Hopefully all will go well for us both!
