[ThisRareCat]

I’m currently a 8/9 DPO is anyone else similar dates to me? AF is due 18/7
Ttc baby 3 :)

I’m 8dpo and af due 17th
baby # 4 here and been trying 2 years so far!

@2025babyfever have you got any symptoms at all? How long did it take to convince your other babies? Are you going to hold off testing before AF x

@ThisRareCat good luck this cycle! Think I’m pretty similar - AF due on 18th July. I’m around 7/8 DPO I think?…
TTC baby number 2 here, cycle number 4 now.
no symptoms whatsoever! How about you?
you guys tend to test early? I’m really trying to hold off this cycle

@GreenApple121 welcome 🤗 glad I have a few people to talk to :)

I am cycle 2 but I haven’t tried the OPK this time around as me and DH said If it’s meant to be it will be! I’m secretly a little more invested and will start them next month if we have no luck this time 🫤

I have a delivery coming today with some FRER I will test tomorrow morning at 10dpo well this is what I think I am from the app and other signs.
will you both test early? I had lots of cramps from 6&7 dpo and my boobs are very sore.
I don’t usually get any signs AF is coming so hoping it’s a good sign.
I only have this month and next month to get pregnant then will have to take a little break otherwise it will impact my work to much 🥹 x

@ThisRareCat oh ok, wishing you best of luck! Those sound like good signs! Let us know how you get on with testing. Are you trying for your first?
haha yes men are generally less invested and don’t think fully understand 😂
I haven’t done OPKs either - first baby conceived first try so this is new to me. Might try it next cycle too if nothing happens this one.
Might test early next week? Been very busy this week with family and work and it’s helped keep my mind of TWW so much more than previous months! X

This will be baby number 3, we have two boys nearly 8 and 5 so feels crazy going back but I’ll be 35 at the end of the month and feel like it’s my last try at it.
I am also very lucky with my older son it was cycle #1 and with my other boy it was cycle #2.
We did TTC back in 2024 but it wasn’t the right time and we put a hold on it. We were trying for 3/4 months I can’t remember but no luck which probably was for the best 🥰

They definitely don’t understand but I get it because it’s not their body so hard to know what we go through. I’m glad you’re kept busy it’s all I can think about hahaha.
How old is your little one?
I will keep you posted tomorrow :)

Ah nice ages! Mine is 8 too 🥰
took DH a while to be ready for the second one 😅 Ahh don’t say 35 is old! I’m 40… had my bloods for various things and fertility hormones checked recently and all seemed ok (did privately just to know where I am) although might need to check day 21 progesterone

Oh good so I’m not the only crazy one with the big age gap haha 😝
oh no not old but I started my family at 27 so feel like it’s a long time to be having young kids but we always said 3 🙏
I also got my bloods done and all looks good apart from my iron levels but I knew that before because of old bloods and I have very heavy flow so I feel like my body can never catch up 🫤
Our af is due the same day but do you think you’ll test early? Do you usually get any AF signs before?

#1 was 2.5 years
#2 was 4 months
#3 was 6 months!
ive tested today 9dpo and bfn ☹️

@GreenApple121 im also 40!

@ThisRareCat I have been testing early in previous cycles around 9/10 DPO - I really hate testing!! 🤪 Find it really upsetting when get BFN but Im still hopeful because you might be early etc… Find when I get AF at least I know where you stand 😅

No particular AF signs but generally feel like I have all my usual luteral phase symptoms… so don’t know if that means nothing ‘extra’ is happening?

@2025babyfever Sorry to hear about the negative test… still a while to go till AF date though right? Do track your ovulation?

Morning ladies how are you both?
So this morning I took a FRER and it was BFN but I had to redip it into my wee again after there wasn’t anything happening after 10/15 seconds ish would you say it was faulty? I still have very sore boobs but all the cramps have gone away now x

@ThisRareCat morning
I’ve had to do that a few times if there wasn’t enough pee on it the first time.
pink spotting starting for me this morning so I think I’m out ☹️

Oh I’m sorry to heat that @2025babyfever do you usually spot a few days before? Because you’re not due until Thursday right? X

I have just checked my test again and think I may have a line!! What do you think? It way past the time limit though 🫤

@ThisRareCat i can see a faint line too! Exciting! How long past the time window did it appear? Maybe good to do one in the morning with FMU?

This is definitely clearer but it was a few hours after I did the test so could be a evap line 🫤I mean it could have been there sooner but I stopped looking after 5 mins!
also this happened when I got a BFP with my first son it was positive after the time limit and then got a BFP the next day. I will test in the morning. I really want to use the other test sooner

@ThisRareCat ok keeping everything crossed for you!! Let us know how you get on with it tomorrow.
I did a test this afternoon and was negative. It was a pharmacy cheapy so will see how I get in a couple days!

It’s still super early for all of us really so we have still got a change this month! Would be amazing if all 3 of us got out BFP 🙏 I am still not really sure when I ovulated because I wasn’t tracking so I could be less DPO then I think but I did get ovulation pain around the time the app said so it would add up.
will you wait a couple of days now then? You won’t test in the morning? @GreenApple121 x

@ThisRareCat Yes totally keeping fingers crossed for all of us!
Im also not sure about how many DPO I am as didn’t track and also going by my ovulation pains. However I think I read that actual ovulation happens 12-24 hours after the pain?
also the test I took the control line was quite faint so not sure what that means?
I'm probably going to wait till after tomorrow as didn’t really even have a faint line today, and only have 1 FRER test left 😅

do you use Flo app?

@2025babyfever any news for you today with testing?

Have you got picture of the test? Not sure what a faint control line means though 🤦‍♀️
Yeah I use Flo and it says I ovulated on the 3rd 🤷🏼‍♀️
Yeah I only have 1 more test which is the FRER if it’s negative I will wait until after AF, or try hahaha

@ThisRareCat I binned it and now it’s all bent 😂
my ovulation was predicted at 3rd July too and I had ovulation pains quite late in the evening that day.
But you know that thing in Flo app where it says ‘if you’re pregnant… Day xx’ and mine says day 8 today, although it should be a bit later like day 9 or 10? So don’t get that bit

I don’t understand it much either lol 😂
woke up this morning did a test and it’s defo a BFN I’m 11dpo boobs are still very sore but I’m sure it would of shown up by now because I think I had implantation pains on 7dpo and that would give more than enough time for my HCG levels to be high 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know it’s early but I think I’m out now :(
