Hi everyone, setting up a new months thread for those of us who already know we’re out for August. I’m going on to cycle 3. Hope this can continue to be a place where we can chat and support one another.

Would anyone mind getting their line eyes out for me? I've been having a very confusing cycle. Been tracking BBT and NC says ovulation was one date, but another app says it's a completely different one so I've no clue how many DPO I am...

I may have line eyes but I feel like I can see the start of something… test again in 2 days x

Hi all, I haven't been active for the past month or so. Took a break from everything and felt so much better for it.

16th September brings my due date from my miscarriage earlier this year and I've wanted so badly to be pregnant before then to help ease it, and guess what? Today I got a BFP on a digital showing 1-2 weeks (I'm currently CD 26)

I'm trying so hard not to spiral and worry but also not to get my hopes up too much.

Sending everyone so much love right now, whatever your journey looks like x

@Kerrylf ah that's brilliant to hear. Congratulations ❤️

Angelyoga · 12/09/2025 19:18

Wow @kerrylf that's amazing news! Congratulations, I hope everything goes well for you!

Congratulations @Mash0917! I can't remember if this is your first or not, but if so just to set expectations my GP had zero interest in seeing me when I found out I was pregnant 😂I rang them very excited and they were just like ??? Why are you telling us, you can just self-refer to the midwife online. It was very underwhelming!

Welcome @Wifeymatters, hope you have a quick and easy journey!

Thanks everyone!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm still a bit scared to be ecstatic!

@blackberryhill this is my 2nd. I had a phone chat with my gp yesterday and she gave me beta hcg quantitative tests- to be done 48 hours apart. This is because I've had a chemical before this. I'm doing one today and another on Monday morning. Fingers crossed. That sounds so frustrating though, your gp being so careless! :-(

PBandJellySandwich · 12/09/2025 09:26

Finally worked out how to add a photo! Can anyone else see a vvvfl, or am I imagining it?

I can definitely see something. Did you do another test?

I got a very faint positive on a FRER this morning, but as soon as I took the test I started bleeding so I think it's a chemical and I'm out this month. By 12dpo with DD1 I had a pretty clear line on these tests. I'm disappointed, but wasn't expecting anything this month as I ovulated just after a week after the surgery. If I had conceived I'd probably be worrying that it was too soon. Good luck to everyone else testing 😊

Iris2024 · 13/09/2025 07:33

Congratulations @Mash0917 and @Kerrylf lovely news ❤️ let us know if you test again this morning.

Iris2024 · 13/09/2025 07:33

Congratulations @Mash0917 and @Kerrylf lovely news ❤️ let us know if you test again this morning.

Thanks! ❤️ I did. I also had the bloods done this morning. I'm just worried if this should be darker on 13 dpo. Hope it'll be a sticky bean.

blackberryhill · 13/09/2025 08:03

So sorry to hear that @PBandJellySandwich - even if you weren't expecting something it's still an emotional rollercoaster to see a positive but then start bleeding. Take care of yourself ❤️

@Mash0917 your GP sounds amazing! Glad they're happy to do betas for you to hopefully provide you with some reassurance that things are looking good.

I feel like I'm going to be testing all of my resolve over the next few days to avoid testing again 😅 just keep trying to remind myself that there's no point doing so because if it's positive I won't trust that it isn't residual trigger.

I'm sorry @PBandJellySandwich. Even if you know this is not a good month, it always feels like a blow when af shows her facr. :-( At least once it's out of the way, you can start the next cycle properly. Lots of hugs. ❤️

@blackberryhill Yes my gp is great. I glad she gave me the tests. I'm kinda driving myself crazy with the "are the tests getting darker" game!
I don't know how you're going to stop yourself from testing! You are syrong!! It is SO hard to be a good girl and not touch the test strips though. 🤣

Sorry to double post, but if it's any reassurance I've just looked back and these were my FRERs with my son - my 13DPO test looks the same/lighter than yours and all was well.

Congrats @Kerrylf ! Saw your post in the 35+ chat as well

@PBandJellySandwich Sorry to hear about your suspected chemical PB. Mentally you’re sounding very positive about it though which is good.

I’m about to enter my TWW and am trying to think of ways to not let it consume me this time. Maybe just not thinking about chances and looking ahead to the next cycle in case it does come? 😅

Morning 😊
Lovely to see a few positives popping up this month already, fingers crossed for sticky little eggs 🤞
Sorry your test has gone negative @PBandJellySandwich, even if you know it’s unlikely it’s still gutting, Hugs.

@Marvelftw Im also just into the tww at 2dpo, feeling hopeful at the minute but what will be will be X

Oh that does make me feel at ease! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️❤️

Huge Congrats @Mash0917 that’s amazing news, and gives me hope as another one who’s been sick this cycle.

Currently 8dpo and due AF in 5/6days so trying to hold out until a late period to test as this month is so unlikely.
I’ve had some cramping and headaches which are not usual for me - but I’m pretty sure I’m just being hyper aware of my body in a way that I’m not normally.
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend 🤞

I had nonstop headache since 9dpo. Extremely exhausted, and been having whackiest dreams for 4 nights. I've dreamed I'm pregnant the night before I.got the bfp. And I woke up TWICE last night because my pillow smells weird! I swear it never smelled anything but good before.
I think I was so sick with the flu because the body was trying to keep the immunity down for the implantation. Hope something great comes for you! ❤️❤️

AMBM6040 · 13/09/2025 14:06

Congratulations to everyone already getting their bfp’s in September 🎉I’m on cd8 and believe I am ovulating early each month as my cycles have changed from 28 days to 26 so I’m using this window to try every other day, I have just received my first appointment at the fertility clinic for the end of October but really hope we don’t need to go to it and get lucky in the next 2 cycles 🤞🏻

Iris2024 · 13/09/2025 16:04

I’m sorry @PBandJellySandwich its horrible. I got my BFP two weeks ago and I was pregnant with positive tests for just over a week and then I bled. Was horrific.

I’ve not been in the mood this month after the chemical and we missed peak I think yesterday as my test was dark yesterday morning and it’s now lighter again but we was at my sisters overnight and I couldn’t test or DTD. We DTD Wednesday night and again today. I don’t have much hope anyway the first ovulation after miscarriage.

Hope everybody is okay ❤️

StayingHopefulx · 13/09/2025 21:39

@Kerrylf congratulations!! 🥳

StayingHopefulx · 13/09/2025 21:41

Looks like I’m out for this month again! Was going to test when I got home from hols as I have had that to distract me, but started spotting yesterday (9dpo) and had some bloody discharge today, it’s a week early which is doubly annoying as I’m on hols and not pregnant. Keeping fingers crossed for next month!!
