May 2025 TTC Support Thread #2!

[Muddysocks1]

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

(I just looked at my clearblue (obv waaaay past the window) and it’s got a line now so def don’t trust one of those post the window!)

I’m 10dpo too, AF due Monday.

yesterday had blinding headache which I never get and lots of milky white CM (sorry, TMI)

I know I’m probably reaching but always start looking for signs in these last few days!

@flyhighsky72 yes! Used my last onestep as I only have one frer left so going to attempt to use that when af is due as feel like wasted two already.

Will attach the pic incase anyone has any thoughts? Top is yesterday and bottom is today. There are thick lines, the light seems to wipe it out so it's just the dark thin line shows up more (similar to how the control line is a thin line then gets lighter)

@Kayleaaa I see it and it looks darker than yesterday!!!

Looks good @Kayleaaa

Defo see today's but even though its out the window time, it still has colour to me, and defo see yesterday's too.

I've just done colour inversion, and there's defiantly 2 lines on both ❤️

Howerever (sorry should have done just 1 big comment 🤣)

I'd say at 10dpo keep testing to make sure it sticks, and gets darker x

In that case I'd defiantly suggest waiting until about 14dpo or AF to completely count yourself out. Usually around 12do, if it was faint before, then it should be darker by 12dpo, but defiantly by 14do you should see something if something is there x

@ec2808 @flyhighsky72 @ykm2829 aww thanks ladies! I'm not really considering it because I know these tests are absolutely rubbish (but cheap!). DH says he can see it but would prefer to get it double checked as we've been burnt many times before...

@Kayleaaa totally understand that! I would test with a FRER if you can or a Clearblue 6 days early the line ones...❤

I DEFINITELY see two lines too my love. As they’re looking they’re positive ❤️

@YKM2829thanks - will see if AF comes tomorrow and then go from there!

@Kayleaaaare these the tests from 5am? Def try a clearblue or first response

@Mash0917 I've not had that myself but I wonder could it be a little bit of cramping from implantation?

@FlyHighSky72 if your period is normally 28/29 days then surely you still have a few days before a definite BFN?

@Ec2808 @Iris2024 sorry about no line progression. It's cruel!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate hopefully it won't be a bad one 🤞🏻

@Kayleaaa sorry, that's a pain. But I can definitely see a line!!

@bigbird1234 you never know, fingers crossed!

morning ladies... sorry to see some of you have had bfn's this morning. There seems to be a lot of us this month just waiting around for AF to arrive now. It's comforting to know we are not alone, this group is great for support xx

God, I hope so!! Fingers and toes crossed. We are trying for #2 now. Everything is so different from last time!

@SureLookthanks I’m 10 dpo today and AF is due tomorrow according to the apps

@Kayleaaa I definitely see it. Might be worth getting that FRER out

@FlyHighSky72you might find it’s a bit later as hopefully you have a slightly longer luteal phase as only 10dpo

@FlyHighSky72 fingers crossed for you!

Thank you every one! Sorry on my phone and I'm awful at trying to scroll back up and tag people!

Spoke to the GP and she remembers 7 years ago me having trouble ttc so she's green lit all the tests for me to take. I told her about the faint positive so she said if it doesn't turn out to be then ring to book for tests, but she said it'd be typical it happened the exact day I got brave enough to ask for help lol.

Going to hold off on my frer for tomorrow morning because I just need to feel a bit excited today incase it comes crashing down. I have been in tears reading everyones responses because I really thought nobody would see it somehow?

@flyhighsky72 do you track ovulation? And are you usually only 11 days after you get af? I have my fingers crossed that's not the case this month, I don't know too much on what happens if you have a short luteal phase? Also my app has never got my period right if that helps! Could be a weird algorithm this month! ❤️

I’m soo confused i had my lh peak on cd15 today is cd27 but my bbt only rose on cd20 so a lot of people are telling me i likely ovulated later and now i’m starting to think i’m out because we didn’t dtd in right window 😔 only chance would be a swimmer that hung around 3-4 days which for me seems a long time 😔😔going off of that i’m only 8 or 9 dpo now 😩😩😩

Aww @Kayleaaa that's what we're here for ❤️ sounds like you've a good GP. Probably not harm holding out on the FRER anyway for FMU.

@Ec2808 I'm not a BBT expert, sorry. But sperm can live for up to five days so all is not lost!

@ec2808 based on your chart I'd say maybe cd19 or cd20? Sperm really does live a good time though! Did you have ewcm when you dtd? I read that it protects them for longer! I never have any so I use fertility lube to help protect them!

Thanks @Bumblebee1984yeah I hope so! I’d like to have a slightly luteal phase as 10 days seems a bit short. Thanks @SureLook!!

@Kayleaaaoh poor you!! Fingers crossed you don’t need the appointment. I have no idea - this is the first time in my life I’ve ever used OPKs - I got pregnant second try 10 years ago and didn’t use anything then. I have a photo of a test that has 12dpo on it but I think I just used an app that predicted ovulation - 100% I didn’t use OPKs! My periods are regular - 28-29 days so Premom is predicting my period will come tomorrow which is 11 days after it says ovulation occurred
