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

Hi all, can I join please?
I think I’m 1 DPO OR maybe ovulating today, @Bas27 hopefully in with a chance!

I’ve only just got my cycles working properly after stopping BFing last summer and my PCOS being a dick!

Congratulations to all the BFPs on this thread and I’m so sorry to anyone struggling, I know what it’s like from last time!

I’m 36, and trying for number 2 (DD is 2 in July!) 💫

@Ec2808 still time!! Xxx

Iris2024 · 12/05/2025 08:51

Morning ladies, I see the craziness has started and I love to see it 🤣🤣 Well no AF for me this morning, I was sure was going to wake up to it. I’m CD 26 today. My cycle days have been much earlier and all over the place since Christmas but usually anywhere from 24-28 so we will see. I’m not testing. I just can’t bring myself to. My little girl was upset going into school this morning and it’s upset me and don’t want to push myself over the edge with a negative. I’m 9DPO.

Iris2024 · 12/05/2025 08:52

On a positive note I was worried that my luteal phase was shorter these days so it’s nice to see back to normal so time to implant 🤞🏽

Kayleaaa · 12/05/2025 08:57

Woke up in the night so much to pee as was boiling! Top was yesterday and this morning was on a 1.5 hour hold annoyingly. Am I crazy or is there something? Going to retest tonight with a frer on a longer hold. Sooo mad I couldn't properly this morning as I feel like I have the flu!

Muddysocks1 · 12/05/2025 09:06

I think can see something! 👀 How many DPO are you hun?

Iris2024 · 12/05/2025 09:12

@Ec2808 that’s a good sign as it usually dries up before AF. What DPO are you again?

@Muddysocks1 totally understand lovely ❤️ I’m sorry for your negatives and I know how heartbreaking it can be after what you’ve been through. We are all here when you’re ready to come back. I’m too scared to test.

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 09:19

@Iris2024 9DPO this morning...either AF is on it's way or weird early pregnancy symptom not too sure..😂

Kayleaaa · 12/05/2025 09:34

@Ec2808 @iris2024 I'm only 7/8dpo so I know the likelihood is veryyyy low, just have a weird feeling! DH says to test as much as possible this month if it stops me going insane 😂

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 09:43

@Iris2024 amazing cycle twins aaaaah 😍

@Muddysocks1 sending lots of love and thank you for setting up this thread been so helpful to so many of us 💕

Hey everyone!

Just an update, second chemical in a row confirmed unfortunately! This one has "luckily" been far less upsetting as I immediately suspected it based on my very light tests, and I managed to get into the GP the next day after my positive test to find out my HCG was only 9, so I didn't have too long to sit with any false hope! Second blood test on Friday (48 hours later) showed my HCG had dropped to 7, then I started bleeding pretty heavily yesterday (Sunday).

I've sent a message to my GP this morning to see if they'll do some blood tests to try to identify if these chemicals have just been bad luck or whether anything might be contributing to them. I'm hoping to request a full blood count, iron panel, thyroid check and day 21 progesterone (especially as I'm still breastfeeding my 15 month old, which I imagine could be impacting on my hormones). Any other suggestions are appreciated for what I could request/investigate privately!

I'm going to try again this month rather than take a break. Funnily enough, if I was successful this month and I ovulate when I expect to, my due date would be my son's second birthday!

I've not been keeping up with this thread as it's all been a bit depressing for me this weekend, but I hope there's lots more positive tests to come for everyone!

SureLook · 12/05/2025 12:12

@HellsBellsTrudy welcome and baby dust ✨️

@Ec2808 I can't see anything but there's definitely still time 🤞🏻

@Iris2024 I'm trying to hold out testing too! And great about your LP lengthening.

@Kayleaaa sorry, I don't think I can see anything.

@Muddysocks1 aww, we'll miss you. But completely understandable!

@charlzz I'm sorry to hear that but I'm glad you're not too upset. Hopefully that blood tests will help shine a light x

Kayleaaa · 12/05/2025 12:24

@charlzz Sending you lots of love! I hope you can find some answers, I'm rubbish at advocating for myself with doctors! 💐

Ec2808 · 12/05/2025 12:26

@charlzz soo sorry to read this 🙁
@SureLook okay bizarre last night I had a shadow... swear I see something but ok...

cm either indicates af is on her way or implantation has ended but we shall see....
