@EllieWalesim going to test on Wednesday too! I’ve been trying to find somewhere that sells first response tests that isn’t online but I’m struggling!

bigbaggyblue · 24/10/2025 08:32

@Lh4503ive got everything crossed for you 😊😊

bigbaggyblue · 24/10/2025 08:33

@MegLSso sorry to hear that! Next cycle 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼☺️

EllieWales · 24/10/2025 21:31

Aww sorry AF came and that it’s getting you down. I feel ya @MegLS big hug 🫢

@Lh4503there’s no wonder you’re feeling tired of it 10 months is a long time and with losses along the way it’s bloody hard. Really hoping it happens soon for you 🀞

I came off contraceptives a year ago in the hope it would just happen and this is my fifth consecutive cycle of actually tracking and β€˜properly’ trying. I never thought it would take this long!

@bigbaggyblue I can’t find the first response anywhere in a shop either. Maybe boots or Superdrug?

bigbaggyblue · 26/10/2025 22:11

@Lh4503arrr I can’t do Amazon because it’s my mums account so she will see πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ was hoping to get one in a shop but nowhere does them!

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 07:17

@bigbaggyblue oh πŸ˜‚ I'm sure you can set up an Amazon account pretty easily but it’s been a long long time since I’ve done it so can’t say for sure! Maybe give it a go?

@Lh4503 2 for 8.99 is a bargain. Might have to get some myself! Any signs of AF?

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 08:35

@EllieWales I know so good ive bought them more than once off there πŸ˜†
Not yet! 15dpo today, I've got a feeling it's coming anytime though. Getting some very mild cramping if it doesn't arrive today I'll test tomorrow.

bigbaggyblue · 27/10/2025 11:42

@Lh4503you must be much more patient than me, I’m desperate to test already at 8dpo πŸ˜‚. Hopefully the cramping is pregnancy related! Everyday I’m second guessing how im feeling, every twinge, how my boobs feel. I’m like a woman possessed πŸ˜‚

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 14:22

I'm a little in shock ladies and absolutely terrified.

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 14:25

OMG @Lh4503 that is clear as day!! Congratulations 🀍 I can understand why you’re terrified I’m so hoping this one sticks for you 🫢

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 14:29

@EllieWales Thank you so much! 🀍 I'm hoping this one sticks too 🀞✨️🌈 I'm going to be so on edge. Hopefully we can get past 6 weeks this time.

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 17:34

Aww so happy for you, I can’t believe you’ve conceived so soon after your previous loss! At least you know you can conceive ☺️ I know it doesn’t make it any easier though it will be a nerve wracking few weeks for you no doubt. Keep us posted 🀞

I’ve had cramping all day today at 8dpo and really sore boobs. It’s unusual for my boobs to be this sore but cramping isn’t unusual so could be something or nothing. I caved and tested this evening and of course it was negative!

NatalieSF · 27/10/2025 18:11

@Lh4503congratulations πŸŽ‰ There's no denying that bfp! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy ❀️

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 18:22

Thank you all ❀️ not letting myself get too excited yet as it's super early.

@EllieWales I know! first time took 5 months, 2nd time 3 months after that then 2 months after this time.
8dpo is very early so I wouldn't get too disheartened yet!

Good luck to everyone powering through the TWW.

EllieWales · 27/10/2025 19:26

So I’ve just got changed into my PJs and whilst doing so have noticed my boobs are veiny, TMI but I actually have a vein that’s protruding on my nipple and my nipples look bigger or maybe darker I’m not sure just more prominent. I know it’s super early so I’m trying not to get ahead of myself but I remember having really veiny boobs with my first (can’t remember how early on) and I’m not someone who suffers with sore boobs usually but they’re super painful!

Really hoping it’s our month I haven’t had a single whiff of a positive since TTC!

bigbaggyblue · 27/10/2025 19:27

@Lh4503aww wow what wonderful news!! Congratulations!
@EllieWalesmy boobs are sore too, I’m still breastfeeding and hurts when she latches, but does this happen every month and I just don’t pay any attention because not ttc. I’m documenting all symptoms on Flo this month and then I’ll know what’s what πŸ˜‚

bigbaggyblue · 27/10/2025 19:28

@EllieWales I bought some Β£1.50 tests at Asda this morning, I’m going to try one tomorrow, I know it’ll be negative but better than wasting a Β£12 clear blue πŸ˜‚ and I’ve got a Clearblue for Wednesday or Thursday morning 🀞🏼

Lh4503 · 27/10/2025 19:45

@EllieWales ooooh that sounds promising!! Im keeping everything crossed for you! Keep is updated πŸ™‚

@bigbaggyblue thank you! Wishing you lots of luck and baby vibes too.

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 07:48

I caved this morning at 9dpo and of course negative πŸ˜‚ I had a BBT dip today though and some really sharp shooting pains under my belly button down. My boob are also still sore and veiny today. I’m deffo reading into everything this month πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

bigbaggyblue · 28/10/2025 08:18

@EllieWalesi did one of the clear and simple test strips which to be fair does say earliest to test is 4 days before period but of course that was as negative as negative can be πŸ˜‚ I’ve got a two pack of clear blue ultra early but I’m putting off until tomorrow morning! My period is due in 6 days

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 08:33

I think AF is due in about 5/6 days for me too so we’re only on the cusp of early detection now really @bigbaggyblue we’ll have an answer soon!

EllieWales · 28/10/2025 08:34

How are you feeling today @Lh4503 has it sunk in yet?

Lh4503 · 28/10/2025 08:47

@EllieWales oooh sounds good, on the pregnancy I was tracking BBT I had a dip of 9dpo too then some pink/brown spotting around 10/11dpo and shooting pains. So sounds really promising. Apparently the best time to test is around 12dpo as some people implant a bit later. 🀞🀞 for you and @bigbaggyblue πŸ₯°

I'm okay, it is starting to sink in now, but my brains just thinking about last time. The next two weeks will be hard as I lost
both previously around 5 weeks 4 days. Trying to keep busy and not think too much. On both previously I also lost them once I reached out to maternity services so im too afraid to do that too. πŸ˜†

bigbaggyblue · 29/10/2025 08:07

Negative clear blue ultra early this morning πŸ™ 10dpo
