As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

@Iris2024 this is also me today 😤 i imagine will make an appearance tonight or tomorrow!

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 17:49

@Iris2024@ThisZippyViewersadly also starting to feel the same 😩😩😩

SureLook · 12/05/2025 19:18

@Ec2808 wasn't one of the tests you used last night a very early one? Do you have anymore of those left?

@FlyHighSky72 I know I'm gonna be an anxious mess paying for a million private scans if/when I catch. But I also really want to try to enjoy being pregnant too. It's a whirlwind.

@Iris2024 would your AF normally come around CD26? Yeah it would be faint but definite if that makes sense 😂

@Taysonic I'm the same as you. Definitely protecting myself and trying to hold out on testing as long as I can. I did the same. I wanted a new car when I found out I was expecting my second. I bought the jeep two days after I found out about my MMC. I needed a boost 😂

@ChaE05 hopefully the bloods will show something. I've heard that about BF, that it can cause contractions. But I thought it was only towards the end of pregnancy it would be an issue.

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 19:20

@SureLookyes it was a 4 days sooner from action… don’t have any left just have the premom cheapies took one this evening…

@Ec2808 it's still so early, especially if not using FMU. Will you test again tomorrow?

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 19:29

@SureLooki know but i feel like i can see a faint line??😩😩😩

SureLook · 12/05/2025 19:37

@Ec2808 I feel like I can possibly see something in the first test. But my phone screen is cracked!

Bas27 · 12/05/2025 19:39

@Ec2808 I definitely see something!

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 19:56

Thank you @Bas27@SureLookyes will test tomorrow with fmu! Plus tomorrow is our anniversary 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 19:58

@Ec2808 it could be! But I will say ive felt like this about most of these cheapie tests ive taken this week 🫤 I think they are well known for indents

I read before something which may bring a bit of positivity…
percentage chance of testing positive
10dpo - 10%
11dpo - 20%
12dpo - 60%
14dpo - 80%
Youve got plenty of time!

SureLook · 12/05/2025 20:07

@Ec2808 oooh promising! It would be lovely if you got your BFP for you anniversary ❤️

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 20:16

I definitely see a line 👀 how many DPO are you? If not AF by tomorrow morning I may test. I have a war of words in my head about it though as I feel AF coming!

My CD have been CD26 last month
March was CD24
Feb I had a random and weird one as I had an odd CD33 into a CD19 AF so no idea what happened there. Looking at my history last year it’s anywhere from CD24-28. I feel like it’s coming though.

Dipping in to say hello.

Sorry to hear @Muddysocks1 - hope you're alright. If anyone knows me from previous threads, you'll know the saying in our house is: Minstrels for your Menstruals (and it's the boys in the house's job to buy the Minstrels!) so hope someone treats you to some choccies. Can understand you wanting to take a step back for a bit, and hope your fertility appointment goes well.

Sorry to you as well @charlzz - glad the GP was able to do the HCG test so you had some certainty and there's a medical log of what's happened - helps mean you're not in limbo land for as long and hopefully they can start looking into what might help prevent in the future. Sending lots of love. It's not easy this, is it?

As for me, I'm currently DPO5... in that 'nice' bit of the TWW where there's no point in testing and nothing to do except just wait for time to tick by. I'm not feeling particularly hopeful this month (really got my hopes up last month and perhaps just protecting myself a little more this month). I'll try and hold out on testing for as long as I can but... easy to say now. Ask me again in 5 days time and I may be doing something different.

In other news though, I have bought a new car. My old car was very old and very tiny, and there was this niggling in the back of my head when I had my miscarriage a couple of months ago that we'd definitely need a new car - there's no way I'd have got a pram in my old one. This new one (to me) is much bigger and a proper family car, so at least that's one thing prepped and ready.

Sending love to everyone else. Hope those who are currently preciously holding faint lines that they continue to progress and get darker... Keeping all my fingers crossed!

Hello @Taysonic I absolutely love that set up you have in your home. It shows you have brought up lovely sons (if this is what you mean) Felt warmth oozing from your post and wish you all the luck ❤️ I’m abit further along and I’m 9DPO.

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 20:28

@Iris2024i’m 9dpo today thank you!!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻really hope it gets darker !

FlyHighSky72 · 12/05/2025 20:29

@ThisZippyViewerthis is interesting https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10362823/

Mummysparrow · 12/05/2025 20:40

After my evap on the clearblue today and the negative FRER this earlier this evening, I am thinking it's probably not worth testing tomorrow morning is it

ThisZippyViewer · 12/05/2025 20:40

@Ec2808 youre not annoying anyone! What we are all here for

@FlyHighSky72 very interesting!!

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 20:44

@Mummysparrowone day can change a whole lot it’s up to you if you prefer to wait 48hours that would give hcg a chance to rise even more really depends on your patience i’m a ball of nerves when i can’t test 🤣 so i myself couldn’t wait that long

@ThisZippyViewerthank you soo much this means a lot ❤️❤️❤️

SureLook · 12/05/2025 20:44

@Ec2808 you're not annoying anyone!

@Iris2024 it's so annoying the way the symptoms are so similar!

@FlyHighSky72 that's an interesting read!

@Mummysparrow you're not out till AF arrives!

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 20:46

@SureLookthank you soo much !
talking about symptoms what are all of yours soo far? I love comparing symptoms 🤣

SureLook · 12/05/2025 20:51

@Ec2808 I've a bit of a belly and craving salt. But I get them before AF so I think that's what it is. Also exhausted but I blame the toddler for that 😂 what about you?

Mummysparrow · 12/05/2025 20:51

I am just wondering if the HCG (if there is any) would rise much if I did a test at 5:45 this evening and I did one at 6:45 in the morning.🤔
