TTC TWW October 2025 🫶🏻

[Ec2808]

Here you are lovely ladies made an october thread for those interested 🫶🏻🫶🏻

What a strong line! Congrats! How many dpo are you?

17DPO 😍 Now I just need to make sure I’m not constantly symptom spotting and temp checking! We’ve waited so long I need to relax and enjoy!

Congrats, try to relax as you can @GiveTheGoblinsSnacks😊
I can't relax 😂I Don't know what to think of my tests.. Internet cheapies are the only ones that are obviously progressing, that's the only reason I haven't gone crazy yet lol
The blue ones seem to be progressing as well (they are 25 ml) but the pink ones almost seem the same? I mean they all looked lighter until they dried, and compared to their photos, today's looked darker before trying but I would've expected more by now... AF would be due today

congrats @GiveTheGoblinsSnacks
oh wow @Anya23 congrats to you too 😍

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks @Anya23 congrats to you both!

Congrats Girlie! 2 June babies please!

Thanks guys!
Hubby is also suspicious about the line progression, but I think tomorrow I'll only use ic, and I'll use my last frer on Saturday, at least it should be obvious by then!

So I got beta hcg tested yesterday (approx 16-17 DPO) and it came back as 238. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I am reassured about this.... ??
Any insight as this is all new to me as first pregnancy

@EmeraldPie I’ve no idea, sorry. Are you getting it repeated after 48 hours to confirm whether it doubles? That would probably be a better indicator rather than the level itself x

@EmeraldPieI recently went through repeated HCG blood tests with my last pregnancy and the main thing they are looking for is that the number doubles every 48hrs so it’ll be the next one that is the important one. Keep positive ☺️

It would be a good idea to, it's a shame it keeps raising my anxiety 😂

@EmeraldPie aww I know, hang in there, you’ll have answers soon enough 🥰🤞🏻

Been trying the Clearblue digital opks this cycle and so far just the empty circle. Decided to take one this evening and now have a static smiley but I thought it was meant to flash first for a day or two before turning static. Has this happened to anyone else? Scanned it on Premom and it’s reading at 1.01

Oooh yes me @HansBanans- started using them this cycle on the days it suggested from the length of my cycle, just circles for 6 days and then on the 7th day I got the static smiley so we went for it. Temp appears to have confirmed ovulation 2 days later (think it will confirm tomorrow). Hopefully it isn’t some ominous sign!

Fingers crossed for you @overwork. Glad it’s not just me! Although the only downside to ovulating in the next day or two is my period will be due around about DP’s birthday. Hopefully doesn’t come 🫣🤣

@HansBanans ooooh exciting!! i think you just had a really quick surge that's maybe why it went from empty Circle to static but they are very accurate...once i got static i ovulated 48hours later also soo fingers crossed 😘

@Ec2808 I’ve done another one this morning and scanned it into Premom and it’s 1.65. I’m sure when I used opks before I ovulated the day after my peak so hopefully soon 🤞🏻 we bd last night and the night before. Hoping I can coerce dp to go again tonight but I might be pushing my luck 😂

oh wooooow that's a very high reading! have everything crossed for you 😍push your luck hahahahaha😂

Hi ladies, can I join? I’m brand new to this as it’s only my first cycle TTC. AF is due today but no sign! However I have taken two CB early tests and both negative. My bbt is still high though.

@SG204 i think you ovulated cd18, kind of weird natural cycles put it on cD16...i also see theres a couple of days were temps are missing? i do notice your bbt is on the downward trend so maybe AF will arrive soon 😕

I know it’s really strange. AF is usually like clockwork so it feels very cruel that this month it isn’t when I’m waiting for a positive, always the way!! Thanks for replying x

@HansBanans good luck!
When I conceived last cycle… I got an empty circle on the early morning and then around midday got a static! Wasn’t expecting such a quick surge….The clearblue digitals were so useful and it was my first and only month to try them 😂

@EmeraldPie here’s hoping I can say the same in a few weeks time 🤞🏻

@HansBanans Fingers crossed for you! ❤
