How many days post ovulation are you? This was similar to my test with my first pregnancy, roughly 10dpo, I think these are early positives!

thats the problem! I’m not completely sure. I’m on day 30 of my cycle and my cycles can be between 32-34 days long. So I haven’t actually missed my period yet πŸ₯Ή

We’ve all gone quiet. Nothing to report here, did a test today - negative, period due next 1-3 days so still holding onto a little bit of hope

Evening lovely. I sent myself a bit doo-lally testing every 3 seconds awaiting a darker line on a normal test when in reality im due on til today or tomorrow and the initial tests I did were extra sensitive. My test finally got a bit darker today after 3 days and I always have severe HG when pregnant. I can feel the aversions amd nausea creeping in.

It can be complete torture cant it. Im 35 now and I wasnt planning this one but its evident I want it so bad.

I hope you are okay amd ill keep everything crossed for your BFP. X

@Happibarahiii thank you for sharing, I am so sorry you've been going through such a long tough journey - how are you? 2 years is a long time, its good news they haven't found any obvious concerns and I will be keeping all my fingers crossed that this is the lucky month. Snap with our cycles, its only 2dpo and I feel like its going so slowly! I am already looking out for signs, which is absolutely ridiculous. Are you going to test before your period is missed? Im going to try and hold put for the 1st or 2nd August if i can! But like you say who am I kidding, I will probably be weeing on that stick as early as 8dpo 🀣

Edited

Haha, I know! I'm right there with you, I have no restraint in the TWW. And this one feels so long already, I know I'll want to test early πŸ™ˆ

I did try not testing and distracting myself, for the sake of mental health, a few cycles ago. And guess what just ended up miserable in another way.

The mental effort of not thinking about it was as draining as obsessing over it πŸ˜‚

Aw it’s nice reassurance for you to get darker lines especially when your symptoms have been so severe previously. Initially first time I didn’t have many symptoms, nausea kicked in a few weeks in.
im the same we’ve obviously not been preventing a baby but not tracking anything but each month it doesn’t happen I am a little disappointed but will keep trying. I’m 36 so feel time is ticking

TrishyLou1111 · 25/07/2025 19:09

After ovulating late... I wasnt actually due on til yesterday or day. This is my FRER from just now. X hope you're all ok x

Congrats lovely! To be honest I dont know what happened last month but it was so out of the ordinary for my body. My LMP was june 16th and was supposed to ovulate around the 1st July but I didnt. It was around the 10th instead. Was due on the 16th july but obviously ovulated late so worked out to be due today or yesterday. I tested on the 16th when period was due and negative..on the 20th there was a faint line..today I got the BFP on a FRER.

Its really been confusing! I thought I'd missed last month as we only just decided to try for our last baby so I guess the universe definitely hady back! Xx

summertime94 · 26/07/2025 05:42

Hello, I'm TTC for my first and on my 2nd cycle. I think I'm due to ovulate on Monday so DTD today, tomorrow and Monday.

Sadly had a chemical pregnancy on my first cycle which knocked me quite a bit and I'm only just starting to feel better / more positive.

I've recently turned 34 and just got married too

gallopingkelpies · 26/07/2025 06:32

Hi ladies!
Lovely to hear about some BFP! I’m on my second clomid cycle and period could have been due yesterday but the medication can change the cycle length so who knows..

positivethoughts1 · 26/07/2025 08:05

Hi ladies, thank you all for your responses. This was this morning at 11DPO and had a β€œpregnant” result yesterday at 10DPO with a clear blue digital intro early!

im keeping my fingers crossed for everyone in the thread 🀞 this was our first month temping and OPKs so it looks like that has made a difference!

Hello everyone πŸ‘‹ starting TTC again, this is my first cycle. Am currently in the 2 week wait zone but am not feeling super hopeful it’s going to happen this month, not sure why! A shame because I would have loved to have an April baby.

Ahh im so confused, I thought I ovulated a week ago, as I had ewcm, which went so I assumed ovulation had occurred but the last few 3 days ive had quite a lot more! I regret not doing ovulation tests earlier now so now I dont know if i am still in my fertile period despite being cd24!! Sooo weird how its back again.

So I might be back at square one with the tww! 😭😭

Oh my god the exact same thing happened to me. My cycles are usually clockwork and I thought i ovulated around the 1st july due to EWCM. I then had Mittelschmerz and i did some OPKs and i was ovulating (around 10th july) similar cycle day to you, but thought no chance this month and pow, BFP

Keeping everything crossed for you.

@TrishyLou1111 @positivethoughts1 @Thebeing1 Congratulations!!! That's wonderful to see the positives, wishing you joy and peace in the coming weeks and months.

@Apricotmuffino that's so odd, but I guess our bodies will do their own thing! I get that "going back to beginning of TWW" isn't great - but hey, it's also a chance to succeed 🀞
Do you think you'll hold off testing by a few days then?

lmw88 · 27/07/2025 13:18

Congratulations on all the positives such great news. Still nothing to report here I’m day 26 of cycle, tests still negative so still a waiting game

Ive done 2 ovulation tests and both negative, so either ive missed ovulation not testing enough (only one a day) or something weird is happening!

I will probably test in another week or so, going to make the assumption that its late ovulation (being today?) And go from there!

How are you getting on?
