And want to wait with me?

Im on cycle 6 now and hoping that weaning my toddler 2 months ago will help as we have had no luck and ttc our first was a bit more straight forward, although not completely without its set backs!

Im on 8dpo, I know symptom spotting isn't sensible because pms symptoms are pretty much the same, but I just can't help myself! I've felt quite bloated the past few days, spots on chin and my mood is very up and down - tbh nothing different to every other month so already not feeling optimistic 😔

Hoping for a lucky group where we can share some positive tests, even if its not mine its really nice seeing others share theirs!

🤞🤞🤞🤞

I'm 6dpo today and also trying not to symptom spot as I'm currently feeling the exact same way I did last month. Sore nipples, boobs swelling and I'm bloated. Trying not to get my hopes up again as I was quite emotional last time. Fingers crossed for us all xx

I read that progesterone is the highest around 7dpo which i actually didnt know until now, this could explain my bloating, honestly I am a sucker for clinging onto anything that gives me hope, but I keep telling myself no its just hormones whether its pregnancy or period!

Its such a long wait 😔

When are you going to test? Have you been trying for long?

I’m a little earlier- 5dpo, but happy to wait it out here! 😂 I’m on cycle 5, already taking longer to conceive than my previous DC 😢 as it stands, I don’t think I’ll be testing early unless I notice some symptoms.

I said the same but had too much time on my hands today and tested... of course too early and a negative result ha!

Im the same, I had a chemical first attempt with dc 1 but then was lucky to conceive another 2 cycles after, naively thought it was going to happen quickly this time!

We had a loss last Christmas around 6/7 weeks and decided we'd wait a while as life got in the way of things. We didn't start trying until end of September so not been too long but I was naively thinking we'd fall quickly as the previous pregnancy was when I was taking the pill. I'm going to try and wait until my period is due/late to test but i caved around 9/10dpo last month

underthethree · 23/11/2025 07:11

Caved and tested this morning with second morning urine. Got a faint line on an easy at home, so took a FRER, which also had a faint line. So then I took a clear blue (can you tell I was desperate to get something more concrete 😂) and the clear blue actually had the strongest line! Nice and blue as well. Absolutely shocked as I was starting to doubt this would be our month. I have found this cycle trying quite emotional and felt really disheartened about it all. But now I can be cautiously optimistic 🥹

the photo quality is bad, I think I was just shaking so much I couldn’t focus the camera properly 😅 but I promise in person there’s faint but pink lines on the two tests and an actually very blue line on the CB 😂

Anyone 7/8/9 DPO?

@underthethree congratulations, can I ask how many days passed ovulation when you taken your tests? I'm 12 dpo and getting faint but pink lines on the easy at home tests, hoping I will start seeing darker lines soon.

underthethree · 24/11/2025 10:51

@HelloNeighbour2021 hiya! I was 10dpo when I took the first test. The easy at home was the first test I dipped. It was a very faint line. Like so so faint. But still- a lines a line (it had pink to it). So then I dipped a CB and a FRER and they came up with faint lines too. That was yesterday. Today I’m 11 dpo and the easy at home is still showing up quite faint, but pink. While the CB and FRER lines have progressed a lot more!

I didn’t use easy at home tests in my previous pregnancies, so I don’t have any experience to compare them to. But I have seen a lot of line progression photos here on MN of easy at home tests, and in my opinion, a lot of the time the lines just don’t ever get very dark!

do you have any other brand of test that you could test with? I know I would still be feeling unsure if I only had my 2 easy at home tests to go by 😅 but the stronger progression I’ve gotten on the other brands has reassured me!

Kayleaaa · 24/11/2025 10:51

7 dpo here so a bit earlier! I've had pink spotting yesterday and today so worried I'm out somehow a week early!

HelloNeighbour2021 · 24/11/2025 12:30

@underthethree I've actually had positive since 9dpo using easy at home test although still light the line as become more pink, I also used another brand yesterday again light but pink. My period isn't due till Wednesday. I was just expecting it to become darker as I get closer to my period date.
I have a 9 and 12 year old.

@Kayleaaa maybe it could be implantation related? I'm wishing you lots of luck!!
