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

Yes @SureLookand @FlyHighSky72 I'm 11dpo today. According to different apps AF due anywhere between Weds and today. Nothing yet, 3 days of light cramps. Normally once I start cramping it's imminent! All tests negative, they are the Wondfo tests someone recommended somewhere. Might get a cheeky CB on the way home if nothing by then (as I typed that of course I got a twinge like shes saying 'don't bother wasting your money'!)

Okay, after a weepy morning I've looked back at the photo I took 5 minutes after I took the test and I'm now wondering if I do see something. Only reason I'm doubting myself is that my usual A cups are now Bs and that has never happened during the tww (I wish it did!).

Absolutely okay if nobody sees anything. I'm grasping at straws and testing again will just make it hit worse, so this one picture is the only thing I have!

I hate to say it and do this to you @Kayleaaa as don’t want to give that hope to you if it’s not as know how it feels but I see a shadow line. Is there colour in person?

Woken up and more blood this morning so I’m officially out 😭 I got fertility appointment at hospital in June. Just fed up now!

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 09:25

@Iris2024 soo sorry to hear this 😥I'm also fed up don't know what to think about this cycle.....just want AF to come now so I can get on with it

Cocoqx · 16/05/2025 09:27

@YKM2829ive never done bbt but im sure its a seperate temp thermometer!

Cocoqx · 16/05/2025 09:29

@Kayleaaai see it but also understand it could be an indent, keep your spirits high and test again tomo its the only real way of knowing- it should get darker if its the same then i would be inclined to say indent!

Hi all. 7DPO today. Had some period like cramping and headaches yesterday but I get that a few days before my period anyway so doesn't really mean anything 😆 Not even going to test until Monday at the earliest when I'll be 10DPO, but the waiting game is arrrgh 😆

jelliebean9 · 16/05/2025 09:37

Hey everyone. Sorry to those who have AF on the way- I’m with you 😑 hoping we’ll all have more luck this cycle!
im CD 8, just wondering about CM. Do you find that EWCM is constant through the day when it first shows. Or comes in bursts throughout your fertile days, with just watery CM in between? I’ve had a lot of EWCM first thing, it’s tapered off now though. And it’s only cd8, so of course ovulation hasn’t occurred yet. Do you find ovulation is typically earlier following a CP?

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 09:40

So I took my cb extra early this morning and assumed there was something faint but still not convincing enough and hubby just sent picture of it dried had also taken a premom cheapie this morning but that one was bfn!

@iris2024 it's so faint that I don't think I can really see colour. So sorry that you're out ❤️ What are they doing at the fertility appointment for you?

Kayleaaa · 16/05/2025 09:44

@ec2808 is the top cb from fmu today and the bottom one from just now?

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 09:45

@Kayleaaa the bottom CB was FMU this morning and the premom was from just now...

Kayleaaa · 16/05/2025 09:45

@ec2808 sorry reread what you posted and got confused! I do see a faint on all of them so I really don't know! ❤️

Kayleaaa · 16/05/2025 09:47

@ec2808 the bottom cb looks much darker than the one above it so that feels like a good sign?! I have no luck with cb so I don't know about their progression

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 09:52

@Kayleaaa the one above was last nights test...don't know either first time using them...

Morning! Yes my ewcm comes and goes. Quite often I will see the first lot maybe 5 days before ovulation. I might then not see it for a day or 2. The amount will also vary over those days. After my chemical 2 months ago I ovulated about 2 days earlier xx

I see a line! How many dpo are you x

YKM2829 · 16/05/2025 07:52

Is anyone clued up on bbt. Is it basically just temperature testing? And is it right that if it goes up near AF it could possible mean pregnancy? Or is it more for ovulation?
Also mouth? Ear? Armpit?
Can I use just a normal like baby thermometer thingy that you can get from boots or somewhere the cheap battery ones or does it have to be some sort of specific one?

Thank youuii 😘

I do bbt with my oura ring so possibly bit different. If you’re using a thermometer it needs to be one with 2 decimal places! I wanted to do it to help my exactly pinpoint and confirm ovulation. I’ve done it for 3 cycles now and it’s been really reassuring

BGxxx · 16/05/2025 10:08

I tested this morning at 8dpo, even though I said I wouldn’t 🤣 and I got a positive! It’s our second cycle trying after an ectopic so really hoping this is baby no2 on the way!🤞🏻

@Ec2808i see faint lines but can u test with an FRER! i think they are much much clearer and technically the lines should be getting darker as the days go on, really praying for you!

Cocoqx · 16/05/2025 10:09

Ahhh @BGxxxcongratsn

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 10:11

@Cocoqx i think so too...very anxious hope this is a healthy one 😥have a very hightened sense of smell since yesterday which is convincing me I am but then the faint lines and the shadows are putting me off again 😥

Kayleaaa · 16/05/2025 10:12

@ChaE05 11dpo I think, but flo app thinks I'm 10dpo but based on twinges and cm I thought 12dpo. It's annoying haha. Thanks for taking a look!

Cocoqx · 16/05/2025 10:12

@Ec2808thats a realllly good sign 💕

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 10:13

@Kayleaaa just as confused don't know what dpo i am anymore every app & person is telling me something else 😥
