@littlefox90a very clear line...no squinting needed! You must be over the moon. Congratulations ☺️ how old are you?

littlefox90 · 05/07/2025 13:17

No I didn't! Just curiosity, my luteal stage is short so I'm due AF tomorrow. The last few cycles all BFN and had so many 'symptoms' nothing this month though but some light cramping on 6dpo x

ForGiddyDreamer · 05/07/2025 10:28

Congratulations @Midnight00 I can see that shadow on the test @Rancor You're so early on still so hopefully that line thickens! I'm surprised you got a line so early! Have you had any symptoms at all? I'm 8dpo and zilch.

I've never had symptoms in any of my pregnancies tbh - even the one that resulted in my son! This time I did feel a sharp pain at 7DPO though, so I wonder if that was implantation day!

Mushroo · 05/07/2025 14:20

Huge congratulations to all the positives!

My LO was up from 4:30 - 6:30 last night and had a massive wobble im not ready for number two. I really do want another but hit home a bit that it will be so tough! (7dpo and it’ll probably take months anyway, so need to get over myself!

@ChaE05 i know what you mean, my OH had a few beers last night whilst I’ve been abstaining, they just don’t approach it in the same way, even though they only have to be ‘good’ for the conception phase, and not the 9 months after too!! (Although, I’m sure his cheese on toast, whilst I get it’s annoying, won’t affect your chances at all 🙂)

littlefox90 · 05/07/2025 15:11

I am 😁 I'm 35 @ChaE05

ChaE05 · 05/07/2025 15:13

@Mushroo haha I realise how ridiculous that seems! It wasn't just the cheese on toast...that was the thing that tipped me 😅🤣 just wish he would pay more attention about what he is putting into his body. While on the topic. Has anyone heard about red meat affecting implantation? X

😂😂 totally get it. They’re so frustrating!

@ForGiddyDreamer1 day behind you here...and the same. Absolutely nothing. Haven't felt a twinge and just have it in my mind I'm already out. I've been so so emotional today. Constant arguments with my partner and I just know it's a build up of so many emotions and hormones running wild. He's also tipped me over the edge because he's had cheese on toast for breakfast and he's playing cricket today so will be eating a plate of UPF. I'm over here taking all the supplements, eating SO well 90% of the time. All my tests have come back normal so far. We are yet to do his sperm. Why as women do we feel it's all on us and they just don't take it seriously?
He loves a podcast...so I've sent him some really good ones about male fertility. Has he listened?Of course he hasn't! Aghhh sorry, I'm just so fragile and pissed this morning x

I totally get this: I think there’s an ego element/sensitivity for men too around masculinity and suggestion that it could be a male issue.

My acupuncturist has told me to eat more red eat to help my lining but I haven’t heard about it affecting implantation!

Edited

To add to this - my partner is good, is taking supplements, also trying to eat better generally, has reduced alcohol although not as much as me. But definitely not as intensely as I’m doing and not doing the research etc like I am!

ChaE05 · 05/07/2025 17:25

@Muddysocks1ah thank you I can enjoy my chilli con carne now 🤣 tbh my partner really isn't that bad, we eating nice healthy dinners, he barely drinks. I think it's more when he's at work there's lots of sweet treats about! Maybe I'm being harsh on him. Like you say, I wish he would show more interest in educating himself on fertility and what we can do x

SureLook · 05/07/2025 18:45

@ChaE05 that's exactly it! Have your little treats but with a side of the healthy stuff too 😂

@littlefox90 I can definitely see that line 😍

@Rancor sorry I missed this earlier. I can see it 😍

@Mushroo I'm the same sometimes. I want a second one definitely but things are starting to get easier with DD in ways. Especially since we potty trained recently.

Line eyes? 😬 9dpo

I keep having thoughts like this about another baby in the mix when my little one is acting like a knobhead 😂

littlefox90 · 05/07/2025 20:00

I think I can see a very faint something @EmilyF88🤞

EmilyF88 · 05/07/2025 20:03

@littlefox90thank you ❤️

SureLook · 05/07/2025 20:17

@EmilyF88 I think I can see something too 🤞🏻

IHaveItPrintedOut · 05/07/2025 20:24

According to Flo, period was due today but hasn't come. BBT was low a couple of days ago but then shot straight back up. Haven't tested as in-laws are staying and I have a terrible poker face 😅 However, have drunk 2.5 litres of water today and am still incredibly thirsty which I read may be a symptom? Wondering if I can hang on till Monday!

EmilyF88 · 05/07/2025 20:45

Thank you @SureLook❤️

SureLook · 05/07/2025 22:05

@IHaveItPrintedOut yes, being thirsty is definitely a symptom 🤞🏻

bbear29 · 06/07/2025 00:19

I'm so confused now. Everything seemed to be happening as predicted- little spotting around ovulation, ovulation test positive on the predicted date etc. I'm 9dpo (as of 00:17 when I'm writing this) and still not even a smidge of a line on a test (I know it's early) but now I have cramps and pink spotting with brown flecks (maybe like old menstrual blood) so I'm not sure if AF is about to arrive just less than a week early..?

I dont usually have breast pain before AF and I have done for the past few days. I usually get awful migraines and lower back pain before AF and I haven't had either.

possible implantation bleeding but its too early to tell? if so you should get a positive in a couple days! 9dpo is the most common day to implant, some people also get some spotting during their cycle, so could be anything at this point but you’re definitely not out!!❤️

Hey! Just catching up (being on such a different time zone can be very annoying).

I’m so sorry @Taysonic. I was hoping the second scan would bring better news. Take things day by day and don’t rush into any decisions ❤️

Congrats to all of those with BFPs! Yay @Rancor! Fingers crossed it sticks for you.

Omg @IHaveItPrintedOut I’d be sneaking a test!

Tested earlier today (it’s still Saturday here) 9dpo. Bright white. Not a whisper of a line. Ah well. I guess I have another couple of days. AF feels imminent and officially due on Monday/Tuesday.

EmPeEf · 06/07/2025 07:34

Is anyone else around CD9? I seem to be two weeks out from most other people 😅

Last cycle was 29 days so my apps say I’m coming into my fertile window tomorrow. Really hoping I OV as my partner is going to China for a week next Sunday, which is CD16. Apps are predicting between 13 and 17.
We’re away for a night on Friday with my kids staying in the same room though, so we’re gonna have to try and work around that 😅 might need to take a drive to a densely wooded area lol.

How are everyone else’s next week looking? Anyone else predicted to OV at the weekend?

I’m 10dpo today and tested with FMU and was stark white. Premom says it’s 0.01 but I 100% cannot see anything!
i prev tested negative 10dpo at 7am but positive later that day at 2pm so not losing all hope yet..
