TTC October 2025

[bluepears96]

Hi everyone,
I’m a bit early but I liked having people to chat to last cycle who were going through similar. It can feel isolating having nobody to talk to about it other than DH when it’s taking up your every thought.

CD5 for me today. Will start uploading LH strips to Premom from CD 10.

Going to try the ‘sperm meets egg’ method this month to see if a bit of structure helps.

sending everybody lots of luck!

@MountainMummy95 i don’t track BBT however I agree it does look like potentially an implantation dip? Will be interesting to see if you have any more fluctuations similar or if it continues to remain high over the next few days

My chart is telling me I missed my ovulation due to my temps - I’m 99% sure this isn’t the case, I’ve been lh testing twice a day and definitely no peaks. I didn’t take my temp this morning as we were out last night and I was a bit hungover 😩. If I keep going will it correct itself?

GUYS! I just got 2 bfps! One on easy at home and one on frer!!!

@MountainMummy95wow! What an exciting turnaround from yesterday! Huge congratulations!!!!

Thank you!! I know. I got a squinter on my frer this morning (easy at home was stark white) and I was worried it was an evap. I held my pee until 3pm and tested again and now both are positive, in the right time frame and pink!! Can't believe it!

@MountainMummy95so exciting! Crazy how things can turn so quickly. Must be such a rollercoaster! I’m 8dpo today, feeling a bit crampy and trying not to read too much into it 😂

@MountainMummy95 congratulations!!!

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

we’ll need a due in July thread soon to move over to

Congratulations! 🥳

Morning ladies! Just a wee update. My 10dpo fmu tests are below. I know they are darker because my 9dpo tests wouldn't even photograph on my crappy phone camera. Anyone who wears a FitBit, keep your eye on wrist skin temps (go by general trend, not by the tiny daily fluctuations or you will drive yourself mad) and your resting heart rate. My wrist temps are in this thread somewhere and there is an obvious trend upward until implantation day when it dipped significantly and then rebounded. That was coupled with my RHR rising a couple of beats after OV (normal for me) but then on implantation day it jumped by another 3 beats, stayed there and then today it's up by another one and my fitbit is warning me something is up! Just a thought!! Hope everyone else is doing well. Sending baby dust 💞

The easy at home is the only one taking a while to catch up. It's still an "is it there?" shadow that wont even photograph.

@MountainMummy95 they’re looking very good for only 10DPO! So happy for you, and very interesting that you had all those indications before the test!

Tested again this morning (12DPO) and gave in and used a clear blue early and still BFN. Feel at peace with it, not going to test again unless I’m super late for AF. I didn’t feel like this was my cycle anyway and have had a lot of stress this month so hoping now other things in my life have settled my body might feel more ready to get pregnant lol.

I think those look good for 10 dpo. I found these strips really shitty compared to normal tests.. I'm 17 dpo today and only yesterday did my internet cheapies start picking up hcg normally

Beautiful lines! So strong!
Yeah I am finding the strips are taking much much longer to catch up than normal tests, and they claim to be "ultra-sensitive".
How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

Thank you Sleepy. I'm sorry about the bfn but glad you have such a settled mindset about it all. 💞

Thank you 😊 yes, I still have a lower back ache, and fatigue started a few days ago, but luckily it's mild for now 🤞

Hey ladies - so exciting to see the bfp tests !! Congrats
6dpo for me I’ve tried to be super chill - not buying the ic tests this time because I see so many not even getting lines til later and I think that will stress me out. Last few months I haven’t really had any boob pain .. which I was starting to think was a sign that progesterone is too low. But noticed today - albeit early, they feel heavy and sore.. been doing temps and they are sitting the highest they have been so I’m hoping that’s a good sign. Yesterday I felt so bloated and needs to pee lots so again hoping my hormones are all fluctuating for the right reasons .. 1 week til af due … fingers crossed for some good news this month

9 DPO and bfn today. Think I’ll wait 2 days and test again.

My tests have been progressing nicely but still no symptoms, now 16dpo. Period would have been due yesterday so got through that (although some brown spotting occasionally). Midwife also just phoned me to book in an appointment which makes it feel very real/soon, genuinely wasn’t expecting to hear for weeks and felt silly registering early.

Have seen a lot of people say their symptoms started midway through week five so I’m praying I magically stay feeling fine. Mum told me she was fine with all her pregnancies but then mentioned ‘when I was hospitalised for nausea with you’ when I told her yesterday so maybe a little rose coloured glasses there. 😩

this is day 13 vs day 15.

@Andrasathats a great line progression!! 🥰🥰

@AndrasaThat looks good! Most symptoms don't start this early, I also only have a lower back ache and mild fatigue, and bloating has started yesterday lol, but this is my second pregnancy
I'll go to my first scan in three weeks, it seems so far away!

Think I’m 1DPO today (CD13). Positive LH test on Saturday and had backache most of yesterday which is usually one of my signs. Managed to DTD on Saturday eve and yesterday so keeping fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

Guys I am super paranoid that my easy at home strips arent progressing at all... thoughts?

All fmu.

Are you taking any other type of tests?
