@CDD1992 hello and welcome ❤️

@Iris2024 amazing!! Congratulations, I'm so so delighted for you ❤️ and sorry reassuring seeing it on the digital.

@irongiulia your spotting was probably implantation bleeding.

@Andrasa aww, sorry. It is so confusing sometimes.

@EmPeEf I can see a line on both too! Oh my god, another one. Congratulations ❤️

Thank you. Testing faint positive on an early Clearblue tonight, like 5th wee of the day 😭 can’t believe how quick things go from negative to positive! Pleeeease stick this time. I was at this point only 32 days ago and it didn’t work out for a second time.

Mash0917 · 25/08/2025 06:17

Hello gorgeous girls, I'm very confused. Today is CD10. So I started my monthly Ovulation tests with Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation kit. And the static smiley face came up! Not the flashing high fertility one, static one! Is Ovulation even possible this early in the cycle?

ChaE05 · 25/08/2025 06:18

Oh wow coming on to see so many beautiful bfps!
Congratulations @Iris2024@EmPeEf@irongiulia
Lovely lovely lovely news! Praying for sticky babies 🤍

@Iris2024how long had you been trying for?

Hope everyone else is doing okay 😊
Got my peak yesterday. Cycle 10 x

Mash0917 · 25/08/2025 06:28

Iris2024 · 24/08/2025 20:33

Well well well …. DIGITAL! 11DPO 🤍

OMG!! Congratulations @Iris2024 @EmPeEf @irongiulia 💖💖💖
SO excited to see all the BFPs!!

Marvelftw · 25/08/2025 07:07

Wow so many positives this month! How many cycles have you girls been trying?

Iris2024 · 25/08/2025 07:09

Thank you @Mash0917 @SureLook and @ChaE05 ❤️

I did a clear blue this morning and it’s darker than the one yesterday so feeling hopeful. I’m 12dpo and AF due tomorrow ish. It’s so reassuring to get the words pregnant on a digital and it was the afternoon and off an hour hold so that gives me hope.

@SureLook I did say hopefully I wouldn’t be long after you! 🤣🤣 We are together now in this! ❤️

@ChaE05 We tried for 6 months beginning of 2024 then stopped and started again April 2025 and just got my positive August 2025. I’m 42 next week so a nice present 🎁 🤣 Caught straight after holiday that we stopped TTC for and right before got my partners sperm results tomorrow and I’ve been referred for a hycosy. I just hope I stay pregnant now which I can’t see why not. Keep the faith lovely 🥰 it will happen for you too.

@EmPeEf OMG congratulations too! We must be due the same time? If I remember right your 40s too?

PeonyPatch · 25/08/2025 07:11

Congrats everyone. I hope it happens for me too. Starting to feel like there’s something wrong with me.

Thank you, I felt exactly like this. Never in a million years thought this would be the month I would catch and didn’t think it would happen for us again. Keep going and it will happen ❤️

Marvelftw · 25/08/2025 07:31

@Iris2024 ooh wow, congrats! Must be so nice after that time to get your BFP ☺️ Thank you for your positivity as well, it’s so hard when you’re in the thick of ttc to see the light.

This is my 2nd cycle after my loss so still fairly early days.

Abie04 · 25/08/2025 07:56

Hello all, i joined the May ttc thread when i started trying but i couldn't keep up with the threads. I finally got my first vv faint line at 8dpo and today at 10dpo the tests are getting darker. Baby dust to everyone still trying.

August TTC thread ❤️
Abie04 · 25/08/2025 07:58

And congratulations to all the bfps, i have been watching your journeys.

overwork · 25/08/2025 08:37

Hi @Mash0917 - no idea as to what’s normal but I ovulate really early in my cycle, but I only have 24-26 day cycles so it would have to happen fairly early to fit everything in I guess!
@Abie04and another one! What a month, congratulations! I had no idea that you can test positive at 8 DPO!
I’ve woken up at 5am for no reason last 3 nights (very unusual for me I am not an early riser), and I had a really odd dream last night, that I actually remembered (again very odd, I never remember my dreams and if I do they’re usually a lot more mundane!). And I’ve just clicked that this all could be a symptom…

SureLook · 25/08/2025 11:34

@EmPeEf I've everything crossed for the stickiest of beans 🤞🏻

@Mash0917 I haven't ovulated that early but yes I think you can!

@Iris2024 my previous message was meant to say so reassuring not sorry reassuring 😂 I'm delighted for you ❤️

@PeonyPatch aww, I'm sorry. But honestly I doubt it. It can just take time x

@Abie04 hello! That's a great line for 9dpo 👏🏻 congratulations!

@overwork that definitely could be a symptom! I have very vivid dreams when pregnant 🤞🏻

Mash0917 · 25/08/2025 11:37

Thanks @overwork and @SureLook. I came home and did another 2 with tests from previous month's batches. Both came negative. Guess it was a dud one. :-/ The whole thing is stressful enough without dud O tests. :-( But atleast now I'm back on my usual track. 😁

Thank you. I also had vv faint positive at 8dpo when i had my first dc.

Thanks @SureLook

EmPeEf · 25/08/2025 13:51

@Iris2024 that’s right, both my partner and I are 40. I think I’d already checked my due date from OV this month was 6th of May and I think someone else was 6th and someone else 8th? 😊

I thought you was roughly same age. So exciting!!! My due date is 8th May! ❤️

I actually have no idea how I’m going to have a natural delivery with my disabilities 😅 so mine may happen as a c-section which I guess would be end of April instead? I am so scared of the thought though.

Crossing all fingers and toes we have sticky ones.

SureLook · 25/08/2025 20:56

@Mash0917 how strange! Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

I have my appointment in the EPU for Thursday the 4th of September at 10am. Hopefully, if all looks OK, I'll be starting on the progesterone 🤞🏻

Wow… I stopped checking up on you gals for about a week and omg! Congratulations @SureLook @Iris2024 @EmPeEf!! So nice to see after chatting for a few months!

Congratulations @irongiulia and anyone else I’ve missed! X

SureLook · 26/08/2025 06:15
