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!

Hi, my friend has gotten pregnant on the first try at 42, and another friend at 44 in half a year 🤞good luck!

I know it’s outside the time so probably evap, but after 45 minutes there was the faintest hit of a shadow on my test! None of the others in this batch have had one. Gives me a little hope for testing tomorrow.

Not even sure the camera can pick it up but

Well fingers crossed @Andrasa! I can't see if it has any color or not

I'm so sorry to jump in so late but I'm not sure if I'm meant to be here, I think I'm losing my marbles! My opks aren't changing much day by day because that's what I thought I was testing for, then tried a pregnancy test for fun. I have no idea where I am right now or if these are evaps!

I can see it!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

I mean I can definitely see lines! How many DPO are you?

That looks bang on what I’d expect for coming up on af if you’re pregnant and 10-13 dpo, what cycle day are you? If you were testing lh once a day it could have peaked and come back down within the 24 hour gap.

I can see a faint line!

What cycle day are you on?

@seesiseeso @Andrasa @Anya23 thank you for getting back to me! I'm not actually sure what my dpo I am, I was testing for ovulation 🤔

And what cycle day are you @Pragmus? When was your last period? Maybe you started testing for LH late, for example I had my peak on cycle day 11 on the last two cycles..

Those look positive to me! When was your last period? This happened to me and he’s now 3 😊. I had ovulated very late that cycle and kept doing LH tests that were just like yours but I should be have been doing pregnancy tests. I think I eventually realised on day 45 🙈.

I'm on CD26 and the duration can be all over the place! Usually I get an ovary ache when I ovulate but that hasn't happened. I've tried again, these two look suspicious, slightly out of the 5 min timeframe by about 2 mins. Did try a boots early but that was BFN so truly clueless.

Sorry it wouldn't attach the photo!

@PragmusInteresting! I think they look positive, although on the top one the line looks a bit broken? But it has color so I'd say you're pregnant 🙂

Guys am I tripping? Just did a test, afternoon wee, was drinking coke before that so it was fairly diluted
This came up after two minutes when it wasn't even dry yet
I feel sick 😂

I see it!!!

I see it too!!!!

Omfg!! I tried to pee again and used the bottom test with that - top one is the first test I just posted
I can't believe this! I'll have to go out and buy a frer for tomorrow morning.. I was so sure I was out again because I was so irritated today just like before AF

Congrats!

Omg! Congrats!

Thank you guys!! I'll update you tomorrow with the frer 🤞

I have negative patience and a lot of tests so just took another, this one came up within 5 minutes and is definitely pink!

still not holding my breath, especially considering my sister had a lot of miscarriages before one stuck, but I’m optimistic this morning’s test wasn’t an evap now.

Dh seems absolutely shocked it could be a reality as was gearing up for it to take ages. Have warned him it doesn’t mean definitely positive.

@Anya23 will be interesting to compare symptoms if both stick being about the same time!

Congrats @Andrasa

I'm not holding my breath either for now 🤣we'll see what tomorrow brings, might try one more ic later in the evening today
Hubby is away this evening for work, so I'll tell him in the morning if there's a line!!
Funnily I feel the same as I usually feel before AF - I remember with my first pregnancy I started getting some symptoms around 4-5 weeks so it's still early
