I'm going out of my mind on month 5 of ttc! Anyone else with me?! On 8dpo, every little niggle or thing is driving me crazy. Just had a bit of spotting so could it be implantation bleeding or is my period coming?! (And so begins a 30 min google hole of perimenopause symptoms, because im 40 so it could be!!!) Argh!

@Jellbell40 I felt like my period was just around the corner for the first couple of weeks of my first pregnancy, I had really mild cramps but nothing else. Usually get pretty bad cramps before AF arrives. Fingers crossed that tomorrow you get your BFP! I've no idea if I'm going to test tomorrow, how many DPO are you today?

Jellbell40 · 10/09/2025 21:47

And when I say vvvvvvfl I mean this barely there line!

I took a pregnancy test that was negative but somehow didn't look as negative as the rest. 4 days later I had a BFP. I dunno why but that test reminds me of that somehow 😂 best of luck to you ☺️

flowerpots2 · 10/09/2025 22:40

@Jellbell40There is definitely something catching my eye there!

Very impressed by all who’ve resisted testing! I couldn’t even get through one day and tested this evening with a cheapie .. I’m sure there’s a shadow of something on it but not sure it has any colour. Will test again tomorrow!

bluepears96 · 10/09/2025 22:48

@Jellbell40I think I see a hint of something. Keep testing and I will live vicariously through you until Friday. Unless I cave tomorrow. 🤷🏼‍♀️

PineappleK · 11/09/2025 06:08

I caved, BFN on a FRER 🙈 only 9DPO though so maybe a little early, even for this test. Good luck today @Jellbell40 @flowerpots2

flowerpots2 · 11/09/2025 07:34

Oh I’m sorry @PineappleKbut as you say, 9DPO is very early!!

I’ve tested again with a FRER and I think there’s something faint, that in person looks to have a bit of colour?

@flowerpots2 congratulations!! I'd say that's definitely positive 🥰

Jellbell40 · 11/09/2025 08:13

Aw thank you thats really nice to hear!! My pic on phone it looks more visible than on this upload! I uploaded it and was like err they will think I've gone mad!

Jellbell40 · 11/09/2025 08:14

Congratulations @flowerpots2 !! I'd say def looks positive, let us know how you get on with next test!

Jellbell40 · 11/09/2025 08:16

Oh and @pineappleK I am now like 12 dpo (11dpo when I took that test!) No sign of period which is good, due today... so will test tomorrow I think.

@Jellbell40 exciting, I hope AF doesn't come! I wish I hadn't taken a test, I feel so unpregnant now 🙃 I've run out of FRER now so will test again 2 days before AF is due, which will be Monday (my luteal phase is 15 days).

@flowerpots2 definitely not mad, it's a lovely clear line 🥰

PBandJellySandwich · 12/09/2025 08:53

@flowerpots2 and @Jellbell40 - I can see lines in both of those!!

I caved and did my test yesterday at 10dpo (I thought I had posted here, but accidentally posted twice on another thread instead!). It was a vvvfl, but I'm not sure if it's HCG leftover after the miscarriage. I now have to wait until tomorrow morning until I can test again so feel a bit stuck in limbo!

PBandJellySandwich · 12/09/2025 09:24

Forgot to attach the photo - can anyone else see anything? (Feel free to tell me if I'm imagining things!)

flowerpots2 · 12/09/2025 12:20

@PBandJellySandwich well done for holding out til 10dpo! I wish I’d had your willpower!

I can definitely see a hint of a line!!

I got 1-2 weeks on digital clearblue this morning which was a relief - I never progressed to it registering on a digital with my chemical so I’m hoping this is a good sign!

Good luck for everyone testing today!

Chocolate4 · 12/09/2025 14:10

@PBandJellySandwich I can definitely see something! How many dpo are you?

Congratulations @flowerpots2 🤗that's fantastic see it on the digital! Bb dust to you with a very sticky one :)

I'm losing the plot here, currently 9dpo (maybe 10), I'm convinced I see something, especially on the edited picture but worried they are indents or evap lines.

@Chocolate4im not usually good at seeing lines but there is definitely something on the SMU 9dpo test that’s catching my eye!

Chocolate4 · 12/09/2025 16:14

@flowerpots2 ooh I hope there is truly!

Thanks! That test was yesterday at 10dpo, but I can't test again until tomorrow morning!

I can see something on the last test, but it's tricky as the quality of the photos drops so much when they're uploaded. 9dpo is still super early - I tested obsessively with DD1 and didn't see even a hint of a line until 10dpo

Jellbell40 · 12/09/2025 17:27

I can see something @PBandJellySandwich ! And also @Chocolate4 same as @flowerpots2 i can see something for sure on last one. Let us know how you get on tomorrow! I haven't tested yet or come on! So really hoping for a bfp but scared its not going to be hence im putting off testing now!

Hey guys, was due AF today but no sign of it at all, felt so anxious waking up this morning seeing if it had arrived, another anxious morning tomorrow I guess!

Chocolate4 · 12/09/2025 18:01

@Jellbell40 thank you. Waiting is so hard and the disappointment can be huge as we get our hopes up.
Keep us updated when you take an other test. Fingers crossed! I hope for our BFP soon!🌟

Chocolate4 · 12/09/2025 18:04

@JHpr I completely understand although I would tested a loooong time ago. Well done on you for waiting. AF late is a good sign, when do you plan on doing a test?

JHpr · 12/09/2025 18:07

@Chocolate4I will do a test in the morning! Don’t praise me, I did a test yesterday morning😂 it was negative, but my previous pregnancy I didn’t get a positive until my AF was 5 days late, I think my implantation happens quite late! My AF is always on time as well, Flo is always right!

Jellbell40 · 12/09/2025 18:57

So I just caved and bought a couple of tests from Sainsbury's. What are people's experience of these? This came up immediately on 1, and then the other is tauntingly white! Argh! I can only assume the positive one is faulty. Very disappointing. Still no sign of AF though.
