Congratulations @DoubleDandelion 💕those twinges were something!

FarAwayBird · 03/08/2025 20:04

OMG @DoubleDandelion! Amazing news. Congratulations. Trying not to get ahead of myself but I think this means if we both have sticky ones, we’d have the same due date!

@ForGiddyDreamer oh that’s good to know about the clear blue ‘pregnant’ ones. I might get on for tomorrow. Slightly scared in case it says ‘not pregnant’ though!

@SureLook I know you’re right… and I should skip tomorrow and wait for Tuesday/12dpo but I won’t 🫣

@ChaE05 I think it’s normal to not have had anything different at 7dpo. I know it’s hard to keep positive, though.

@overwork I think it’s good to be hopeful… even against the odds 😅 Fingers crossed you feel GREAT for next ovulation!

DoubleDandelion · 03/08/2025 20:49

@ChaE05 it was cycle 2 since I had my IUD out. Still breastfeeding my 3 years olds (albeit very infrequently, a couple of times a week) so thought it may take a little longer this time.

Based on LMP @FarAwayBird it’s 19th April, but I ovulated quite early, based on ovulation 16th April. But historically I’ve got a couple of weeks before pregnancy turns to hell. I had severe HG with the twins and then loads of placenta problems that meant I pretty much lived in hospital for my entire pregnancy which was only 6 months long…hoping for a singleton and a smoother journey this time around!

FarAwayBird · 03/08/2025 20:55

Yes! Fingers crossed for a smooth pregnancy. Double twins would be… a lot! 😬

And another one, wow! I’m so pleased for you all. @FarAwayBird thankyou, but I think if I’ve started believing in the possibility of immaculate conception, I’ve taken this TTC lark far too far Grin

FarAwayBird · 03/08/2025 22:20

Hahaha maybe @overwork 😆

SureLook · 03/08/2025 22:46

@overwork it's probably just habit at this stage but it's good to have faith and stay positive!

@DoubleDandelion ah, amazing! Congratulations ❤️

@FarAwayBird there's no right or wrong when it comes to testing. Whatever makes you feel best x

EmPeEf · 04/08/2025 05:27

Congratulations to all these BFP! Hoping they all stick nice and tight.

I’m now on possible CD9, have been having super low LH tests, but yesterday had so much EWCM. The kind where you nearly slap yourself in the face when wiping 😂 will aim for every other day over the next week. Bought a plane ticket to make sure of it 😅

Kerrylf · 04/08/2025 08:53

Congratulations on all the BFP's I've seen posted. I really wish for the best for you ❤
I am currently CD11 and got ewcm. I haven't tested for ovulation this month and I'm going to TRY and not test for hcg until af is due, i think it was getting a bit unhealthy for me and making me feel worse.
Currently in cycle 6 of ttc after my loss in January and it was around 6 cycles prior to this before I got pregnant in Jan. I have my ultrasound in late August to see if there is anything else going on and next will be to get my husband tested also. He is 30 and I am 31 xx

ChaE05 · 04/08/2025 09:01

@Kerrylfwishing you the best for this cycle! The months just seem forever don't they, all while everyone around getting pregnant. Great you've got your ultrasound soon, hopefully will all come back okay.
When I sent my partners semen analysis across to my GP she said that's great it's all come back normal, quite often it needs to be repeated. Which just shows, male factor plays a big part x

ForGiddyDreamer · 04/08/2025 11:03

@EmPeEf that made me cackle but I know what you mean about that consistency 😂

@Kerrylf all best for this cycle ❤️

I can't get a FRER to compare tests from Saturday. I ended up hoking out the CB that I hate but I can see progression between them (Saturday 10/11dpo and Monday 12/13dpo). My period is due tomorrow or Wednesday so I'll likely do the FRER when it comes. I'm hoping the doctor will see me this week. Bank Holiday here today. I've mild cramping that has had me 🙃

And you can see I've been wild with the strips 🙃😂 I know I need to chill or I'll send myself barmy...

amey44 · 04/08/2025 11:29

CD 35 and still no af yet? Thought I was gonna come on yesterday but I didn’t so confusing!

rainycoldboo · 04/08/2025 12:21

Phone completely freaked out and banned me from Mumsnet for like a month! Finally back now - month 3 of TTC and I’m 9 dpo: tested this morning with an ovum one and a cheapy. I think I can see something on both?? Thoughts (AI thinks there’s a line) (top cheapy is water just to try to work out if I have line eyes)

June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED
EmPeEf · 04/08/2025 13:23

Definitely seeing a line on the bottom one 🤞🏻

ForGiddyDreamer · 04/08/2025 14:07

@amey44 is a 35 day cycle odd for you? I think you said before a 32 cycle had happened before. Maybe you ovulated later than you think? Might be worth testing with a sensitive test?

@rainycoldboo I likewise see a faint line on the bottom test!

amey44 · 04/08/2025 14:19

@ForGiddyDreamer I have had a few long cycles the past year tbh I done this morrisons test yesterday and there was nothing on it so i’m reluctant to keep testing now as it’s probably a waste:(

rainycoldboo · 04/08/2025 14:43

Thanks @ForGiddyDreamerand @EmPeEf- these might be clearer! I think they’re pink! Fingers crossed

rainycoldboo · 04/08/2025 14:44

Obv I didn’t add the photos! @ForGiddyDreamer@EmPeEf

the wait is awful @amey44 either AF is a no show (and hooray in that case) or it’s wishing she’ll hurry up and you can move onto the next cycle.

@rainycoldboo I can see the line clearer on the test holder pic than the strip. Congratulations, fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

ChaE05 · 04/08/2025 15:29

@rainycoldboocan see both!! Congratulations ☺️

rainycoldboo · 04/08/2025 15:36

Thanks @ChaE05- really hoping for a sticky bean!!!

I’m Sorry I’ve missed so much of this thread everyone!! Sending lots of love to those with and without bfp’s this time - so glad I’m back on Mumsnet!! I’ll be much better at keeping up to date now I finally have access again….

SureLook · 04/08/2025 19:29

@EmPeEf your description made me lol!

@Kerrylf sounds like ovulation is near! I'm CD15 and I had EWCM today too. My LH test is getting darker as well.
I completely understand you not testing. You have to do what's best for you. My DP was giving out to me today for not drinking anything for four hours while I was holding my urine for testing. I was trying to explain it to him but he just doesn't get it!

@ForGiddyDreamer I can definitely see good line progression there 👏🏻 don't worry about the cramping. There's a lot going on in there at the moment.

@amey44 any signs she's on her way yet?

@rainycoldboo I can see a line on the FRER and the other big test 🤞🏻

rainycoldboo · 04/08/2025 19:31

Thanks @SureLook- I haven’t done a FRER yet (I’ll do one tomorrow)

how are you doing? When are you planning to test again? How many dpo are you now?

ForGiddyDreamer · 04/08/2025 20:27

I've just noticed some pink tinged cm when I wipe. With the cramping I'm worried it's failing already. I've never had a successful pregnancy. Is this normal?
