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’m scared to incase i’m just imagining it this is my first cycle using these tests so idk if it could be indents? The line was pink and darker w smu I got 5 tests w lines lol ( im psychotic I know😅)

I am so confused. 12 or 13 dpo today and I have so much creamy white cm (sorry tmi), which I never have this late in the cycle. Usually I have too many pms symptoms every month. Sore boobs, headache, bad cramps for a few days leading up to my period (I have endo). This month I have NOTHING! I just dont feel like eating anything since yesterday, not normal for me, I love food. And cm and I'm exhausted.
I couldn't make myself test yet, been telling myself it's just pms. Anyone on the same boat?

Sorry for spamming the chat i’m just a bit excited an on edge now as i’ve never been pregnant before! I took another an think the line is more clear in these (looks grey on camera but definitely pink) I’m going away tonight for the weekend so won’t test (i’ll try lol) I’m hoping it’s still there when I do retest again:)

It looks smudged after uploading but doesn’t look like this at all irl idk why when I upload pics it does this?

When are you due on? i think you’d get a positive now if you tested at 12 or 13dpo even though I know the closer you get to af the harder it is as you don’t wanna see a bfn x

@Bumblebee1984Hope you have a lovely day.
it is so annoying. I bled overnight a bit, now today just the tiniest bit of spotting. No idea what’s going on. Today is 12dpo and will be the 4th day of spotting 😩

Thanks @am44a, you are right. I'm scared to test now and get a bfn. :-( My Flo app says I'm due tomorrow. And I'm usually strictly on time (28 or 29 cd). I guess if AF doesn’t show tomorrow, I'll take a test.❤️

@am44ai think I see something on the second pic. Definitely need to try a FRER when you get a chance maybe in a couple days

@Mash0917i had no symptoms with my son until 14dpo when AF didnt show and felt a bit nauseous that day so definitely could be. Fingers crossed for some upcoming bfp on here

God, I hope so. Baby dust to everyone. I'll probably cave in and test tomorrow if af doesn’t show. 😂

@rachael2308 it's so frustrating. You just want to get on with it now.

@Bumblebee1984 keeping busy is a good idea!

@MyPeppyLimeBear sorry to hear AF has arrived ❤️

@am44a agree with @Cocoqx take a FRER if you can! I think I can see a line in your post at 12:27pm. The photos never upload that well!

@Mash0917 I waited this cycle until AF is due. It's more definite and less chance of disappointment. Especially if you're sure of OV day. Fingers crossed, let us know x

Indent? It come up within the 3 minutes however I just don’t believe it for some reason

I swear I see something

@am44a I'm not sure if I can see anything but that's just me. The photos don't always show it!

@am44ai can also see something

Yeah I didn’t even have to squint to see it irl😳 My partners convinced it’s an indent but i’ve never had even a smudge of anything on these tests before

I have another which i’ll probably cave an do in a few hours even though I prob shouldn’t aha

Popping back in to say, I can see it @am44a, and when I used those Boots tests they would be faint and then come through really pink but outside of the time frame, not sure if they take longer to develop than it says!

@ttcjourney20001@Bumblebee1984@HellsBellsTrudy@SureLook Thank you for looking guys I really hope it’s not an indent! I know there’s something there as my partner could see it an he never sees anything lol.
It was pink during the time but i’ve looked now (abt an hour later) an theres still a line but looks grey :/

@am44a don't worry about the colour fading. They all fade lighter and lose their pigment. Will you test again in the morning?

@am44aI’d definitely try again in the morning with flu

Definitely test in the morning. I saw that line in the first pic and i think it always turns abit greyish afterwards..also are these boots tests realiable?

Obviously caved a took another an it looks negative so now i’ve upset myself. I know I shouldn’t test so much it’s jus so hard when you want this so bad:(
I don’t have another test to do with fmu now so I might wait until Monday ive had clear pink lines on several tests today so if its negative again then ill be so sad as I rlly thought this was my time aha;(

So AF has showed up today, which given the cramping I knew was the case. Still disappointing. Will try again next month. Send baby dust to those still waiting

@am44a I think it's best to leave it a few days!

@LunarBear sorry AF has shown ❤️

Crossing my fingers for you @am44a ! I think this could be your positive looking at your tests.

On CD 28 and currently anywhere between 7dpo and 14dpo. Utterly ridiculous 🙄 just want this month to be over already.

I’m sorry I’ve missed so much.
@am44adon't loose hope - they look like they could be positive to me and I think a retest is right. But if you always test with fmu then you’re taking a variable out and are more able to determine what it means. Eg I’ve been testing every day since I got my BFP with fmu. I know hcg only doubles every 48 hours so some of my cheapie tests don’t look that different from each other but none of the lines are lighter and I’m not questioning why some lines are lighter than others. I hope that makes sense?
@LunarBear
sorry it didn’t happen this time lovely. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for next cycle.
@EmPeEfwhat a wild ride! I’m sorry if I missed this - how long are your cycles usually? It must be very confusing not knowing what to expect.
how are you getting on @Mash0917?
@MyPeppyLimeBearsorry you’re out this
month, but at least the waiting is over. That’s always been my least favourite part regardless of outcome.
