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 can kind of see something but I have the worst line eyes right now! How’re you feeling?

@HellsBellsTrudy I can see something 🤞🏻keep us posted.

@YKM2829 sometimes a positive OPK can be a positive pregnancy test. Or it could be just a longer urine hold?

@ttcjourney20001 that's great you're having a scan. I've had an internal scan and it was honestly fine. I barely felt a thing, except the cold of the gel.

@rachael2308 could be implantation bleeding 🤞🏻

@am44a I don't think I can see anything but you're still super early!

are they the one step tests? I didn’t get a positive on those until the day after a positive digital and first response so I’m sure if you use another sensitive test it would be a clearer line!

I’ve stressed myself out now 😂
Came home from a morning in town and decided to test again, WHY?! Anyway, easy@home was DARKER so I also used the Boots test I got and it’s hardly there. I’m trying not to go bonkers cos I’m only 8DPO but it’s hard to not become a crazy lady surrounded by tests 😂
Photo of both!

Slightly better photo

@HellsBellsTrudyyou are only 8dpo and there’s still a line there. Urine probsbly way more diluted now too. Try and hold off doing any more testing even for a few days

Thanks @Bumblebee1984 I shall try 🤞

@HellsBellsTrudyTheres definitely lines there!!!

@BGxxxYeah they’re the one step tests they’re absolutely terrible i’d buy another brand but i’ve wasted so much money on tests the past year aha I think ill use a different brand around 10-12dpo x

@HellsBellsTrudydefo agree try hold off now as urine diluations plays a big role youre better off comparing tests every 2-3 days! X

@am44a agree with @BGxxx One Step definitely aren't as sensitive!

@HellsBellsTrudy the easy@home is darker but I can definitely see a line on the Boots test. I agree with @Bumblebee1984 wait another couple of days. I'm testing every second day to see line progression.

Thanks @SureLook I would love to say I’ll wait two days but I will wait until tomorrow 😂
I still don’t fully trust it believe it and haven’t told a soul!

@HellsBellsTrudy aww I understand. It's hard to resist constant testing 😂

I’m still testing despite all the symptoms, supposed to be 8wks on Thursday but won’t believe it until I reach 12 weeks probably 🤣🙈

I think I’m an addict @SureLook @ttcjourney20001 😂 I absolutely love watching videos of people taking them 😂

At what point do we think we need to stop testing? Cause I’m nearly 8wks and still doing it 🫣

This looks a great line!!

I’ve never used them till now and they’re so crap aren’t they🤣🤣 they basically fall apart but they’re so cheap

Congrats on all these lines everyone! I love seeing people’s good news 🥰🥰 sticky dust for all.

They’re so bad i’ve had a few faint 2nd lines on them in the past too so it’s hard to trust them! The dye also takes sooooo long to fully run through the test lol🥲I always say I won’t use them next cycle but always cave bcos I bulk brought so many 🤣

@HellsBellsTrudyyay! This definitely looks positive! I made a February bus because I’ve worked out I’m due on the 2nd and there wasn’t one. I hope you can join me there soon!!
fingers crossed for anyone still waiting to test!

Hey so new to the forum, I'm 38 TTC for the first time. I'm on my 3rd cycle off my pill and at 11 dpo. Been getting some very AF cramps the last day or so, so not feeling very positive this cycle. AF is due in a couple of days

@LunarBearwelcome! Have you managed to hold off testing/planning to wait for AF?

I will join too, I think I’m the very end of Jan so will probably be Feb 🤣

@Bas27yeah I purposely have no tests in the house so that I wait for AF to appear, though I absolutely hate waiting haha!
