When my GP initially thought it may be PCOS (pre-blood test) she said that if my blood test had determined I was successfully ovulating then the next step would’ve been my partner booking into his GP for tests as it could be him. So I think that’s the best option for you guys. X

Thanks so much for the advice x I’ll ask him to get checked out x I wonder how much it is privately

Girls I’m 10DPO and I’ve done a test and I’m not sure if I can see a slight shadow of something. I feel so silly saying this as everything in me has lost hope that I’ll ever be pregnant again. I’ve literally stared at it for the last half an hour and I just don’t know. Why did I test? 😩

Eek, that’s promising!! 🤞🏻

@Iris2024 🤞🤞 for you

I’m hopping on this thread! Trying for our second, this month I tracked quite precisely and am now 10dpo. Didn’t resist testing this morning, cheap one I can see a faint line but the clear blue is pretty clear I think (?) however I’ve had on/off spotting since yesterday so am a bit worried. Will keep monitoring and repeat test 🤞

Think I see something on 2nd pic! Xx

ForGiddyDreamer · 23/08/2025 11:36

@Iris2024 i can see something on the one with your hand. Mine was a real squinter at 9/10 dpo too but clearer next day. Have you any ovulation strips 😂 I’m tentatively excited for you!

I have got OV tests here, I did the test before leaving house this morning to take my daughter to gym. I don’t think I believe it as I just can’t imagine it and always disappointed. I’m only 10DPO though. Oh I hope this is it 😩 thank you for checking for me xx

Iris2024 · 23/08/2025 11:44

Also please excuse my leg, this was early before moisturising 🤣 my tan is peeling really bad from going to Greece haha!

SureLook · 23/08/2025 15:51

@Iris2024 I think I can see something in the second pic too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 do you have any symptoms or did you just decide to test?

@irongiulia I can easily see lines on both 🥳

Thank you for checking hun, I’ve had twinges and tight pulling in my side, felt nausea this morning and yesterday everything tasted weird and couldn’t taste very good but I think it’s just an evap. Don’t want to get my hopes up 😩

SureLook · 23/08/2025 16:32

@Iris2024 I understand not wanting to get your hopes up. Will you test again or what are you thinking?

I really don’t know what to do hun, the feeling of doing a test and it be blank will break my heart 😩 but also really want to know, I don’t think I am though.

irongiulia · 23/08/2025 16:47

@Iris2024 I know it’s hard! Do you have any of the more sensitive tests? Seeing a faint but clearer line on there made me feel better but having said that last month I convinced myself I was pregnant over an evap line and it was dreadful 🥲

SureLook · 23/08/2025 16:57

@Iris2024 maybe you could test again in two days at 12dpo? That might be a little more definite then. Sending hugs x

Thank you @SureLook ☺️

I did a OV test as @ForGiddyDreamer suggested and it’s attached. Not low but not peak

ForGiddyDreamer · 23/08/2025 18:04

@Iris2024 that looks nice and dark for being outside the ov window, eek! How does it compare to your usual ov tests before you enter your window?

SureLook · 23/08/2025 18:20

@Iris2024 oooh, looks promising!

Af is now seven days late 🥲 I’m definitely not pregnant, just annoying to not be able to start a new cycle already! I had to have antibiotics for a minor infection just before mid cycle so I’m hoping that just messed something up. Annoying the first cycle I ttc is the first time in years I’ve not been able to predict af to the day!

Hey everyone
I am joining in
should be ovulating in the next few days I am going to buy some tests this time to make sure I get the right day
this is my 5th cycle trying which is worrying as I do have kids from my previous relationship and this will be my first child with my partner of one year he also has kids but said it took a long time to convince in the past as to I normally fall pregnant straight away in the past but than saying that I am nearly 40 now not in my 20s anymore so we’re see

I think it’s abit darker in this test, I feel really silly as I know I’ll do another one and it will be whiter than white. It’s so hard when you want it so much doesn’t it. Your mind runs away with you and plays tricks.
