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

Well, didn't need the extra tests! Just started bleeding 😞

Oh, so sorry to read this. Is it full flow and everything?

EmPeEf · 18/05/2025 21:07

I took a this B&M tests yesterday afternoon. Got another to try tomorrow morning. Can’t decide if I can see something or not. Another cheapy looked pretty much BFN.

@SureLook - no I’m so far (🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻) one of the lucky ones who has not experienced this kind of loss. I’ve ok not ever had two pregnancies and they results in beautiful children.
I do have some serious endocrine health issues though, and pretty much every aspect of my life has changed since diagnosis, including cycles being all over the place.

Taysonic · 18/05/2025 21:17

So sorry @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

AF has come early for me. At least I know where I'm at. Had a bit of a cry, and we go again... I had such high hopes after my MC that we might catch again quite quickly but... Maybe not. Only a 10 day lutuel phase for me this cycle which seems short. And I didn't have my usual sore boobs about a week before AF so little worried about low progesterone maybe? Major health kick starting now!

Will move over to the June thread.

HellsBellsTrudy · 18/05/2025 17:44

So I’ve stupidly tested on the evening just now of 6DPO like a crazy person. It’s going to be a long few days! 😭

I feel like I can see a faint line on both of these x

am44a · 18/05/2025 21:29

I know it’s too early for symptoms and it may just be coincidence but my nipples r stinging ??? I’ve never had nipple pain before 😳

HellsBellsTrudy · 18/05/2025 21:53

Honestly I think it was a dodgey test @am44a but I’ll test again tomorrow, and every day 😂
Sore boobs was my main indicator with my DD as I don’t get them before AF! So 🤞

Bas27 · 19/05/2025 06:12

I feel tentatively like this is the start of my BFP? Can others see this? 9DPO today.

Yes I can see it!x

Cocoqx · 19/05/2025 07:35

@Bas27i see something!!

Bumblebee1984 · 19/05/2025 08:34

@Bas27I see something
@SureLook congratulations

sorry to all those with BFN and AF arriving. I had a super busy weekend celebrating my DS turning 2. I’m in the tww now as sure I ovulated on his birthday on Friday. Not feeling hopeful though as feel there was a lot going on last week. DTD day before not not day off which I know could still happen. Also it’s only first proper month trying and my age so feel like it might take a little while. Just need to try and not think about it too much this week. 3dpo today so wouldn’t even test for a week so will try hold out until next Monday at least

HellsBellsTrudy · 19/05/2025 09:00

Happy birthday to your little one @Bumblebee1984 my DD is 2 in July and I can’t believe it!

I’m 7DPO today, silly testing so early but here we are! I feel like I can always see shadows on these strips! I tested first thing at 4am but had to leave it cos DD was waking up 💀

@HellsBellsTrudyi see a line! For 7dpo seems spot on hopefully it just continues to get darker xx

rachael2308 · 19/05/2025 11:54

Hi ladies, congrats to those who got their bfp.
im currently 8dpo and the symptom spotting has kicked in. Trying to stay away from the tests 🫣

I’m so confused with my cycle now I wish I tracked ovulation instead of having a break. I logged water like ewcm CD 13,14 then woke up w sore boobs on CD 17 (which I always get after ovulation) but my apple health an Flo app predicts I am in my fertile window now CD 22? I know they’re not always accurate but if I ov’d within a few days of the ewcm my luteal phase would be 17+ days as my cycle ranges from 33-38 days? My temp also risen today to 37.1 but I woke up with a sore throat so I probably just have a cold;(

HellsBellsTrudy · 19/05/2025 13:00

Thanks @Cocoqx and @BGxxx I’ll see what tomorrow brings! Not sure of it though!

Cocoqx · 19/05/2025 13:06

@am44athe health app wont be accurate especially as your cycle can range so much, its usually 14days LP before your period starts so thats why its saying CD22 (so predicting a 36day cycle this month for you)

but if your boobs were sore on Cd17 and you logged CM 13/14 i would predict this is more accurate and that this be a 31 day cycle this month for you (Cd17+14d LP)

am44a · 19/05/2025 13:14

@CocoqxThank you for you’re response:)) Yeah that does make sense tbh as my last cycle was 32 days an I have had a lot less stress these past two months!

SureLook · 19/05/2025 14:06

@2Sugars2 thank you ❤️ best of luck to you x

@EmPeEf I think I can see something in the first test 🤞🏻

@Bas27 sorry to hear of the endocrine issues! I think I see the start of a line 🤞🏻

@Taysonic sorry to hear. Best of luck!

@am44a sore nipples is definitely a thing!

@Bumblebee1984 best of luck 🤞🏻

@HellsBellsTrudy I think I see something 🤞🏻

@rachael2308 stay strong!

DownWithCremeEggs · 19/05/2025 15:37

Hi all. 10DPO today. Boobs are super sensitive and I'm feeling quite sicky, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I get all of that before my period arrives too 😆 haven't tested yet today and I'm at work until 6pm, really tempted to test when I get home or maybe leave it until tomorrow morning.

Cocoqx · 19/05/2025 15:51

@DownWithCremeEggstest in the morning you know if you test tonight it will be faint and youll spend all night thinking if its a positive!

JupiterDaze · 19/05/2025 16:05

Hey can I join in, I have no idea what day in my cycle I am as I haven’t had a period since August 2023, had my second daughter in April 2024 and have been breastfeeding her since then and my period hasn’t returned yet!

I had a positive OPK 25th April but I don’t think I ovulated at that time as I since had another positive OPK on Saturday 17th, so I’m potentially 1dpo. But then I also had this very convincing test on Saturday as well but turns out it was a false positive 🥲

Going to try and wait until I’m 9dpo to test again. But only DTD 3 days before I potentially ovulated so I don’t think I have a very good chance of conceiving this month. I can’t track BBT as my daughter still wakes every 2-3 hours so I wouldn’t be able to get an accurate reading, hopefully I’ve actually ovulated this time!

Thanks @BGxxx@Bumblebee1984@Cocoqx@SureLook
i did another one when I got home from work (easy at home this time) and it was definitely a better line. That being said I know people have found them very hit and miss. I think it’s more than a shadow though? what do people think? Will attach a pic. Will test again in the morning.
@Bumblebee1984i feel like next Monday would be nerves of steel!
@rachael2308good luck!
