TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

So on Amazon it says 10 mlU but chatgpt says they advertise as that but they are more 25! Whereas FRER are 6-10 so think my answer is to get one of them

Definitely! I think these sticks are never as good as the more expensive ones!

Update! I couldn’t get a FRER but did get an ultra early clear blue and there’s also such a faint line!! I’m now sooo nervous and praying for progression!

🤞🤞Great news!

I can see that line!! (and I can never see the faint lines people post) 🥰

Ah I love seeing positive tests even if they're not mine 😂I'm 4 dpo today, so the earliest I should test is next Tuesday / Wednesday..

Thanks!! I’m so nervous now as I’m only 10dpo! Going to tell my acupuncturist later incase she can help my body maintain

@Anya23 fingers crossed!! I always like up until 8dpo as you can’t do anything yet!

@Anya23 I am 3DPO today so right there with you!
@Glittertint - what amazing news! Delighted for you. Acupuncture will deffo help plus it will put you into a lovely calm headspace as well (as I sit here drinking the tea mine prescribed for me!).

What tea are you drinking?

we are in a similar boat! First month trying for baby #2 and I’m so stupidly optimistic. Today is 1dpo so let’s see how the long wait goes. Promised myself I wouldn’t be as obsessive this time but here I am 🥲🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

If anything I'm more obsessed the second time!🤦First time I was only lurking and now here I am, creating threads🤣

Thank you! The acupuncture was very relaxing and I’m glad I told her about my faint lines as she said she wasn’t going to touch anything relating my cycle just incase and just work on more replenishing my energy!

Id been using a hot water bottle in the evening the last 2 weeks and I think that’s genuinely helped!

Hey everyone 👋 hoping I can join… I think I’m around 8DPO but we haven’t been tracking just going with the flow with the odd ovulation test just to make sure I am ovulating. This is my first normal cycle since we lost our little boy at 18 weeks in November. Trying to be positive but also realistic with this being my first regular cycle fingers crossed to you all 🤞 and congratulations to those with positive tests! I Keep trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard 🙈

@Ash2345f so sorry for your loss. Fingers crossed for you for this cycle.
@Glittertint that last test looks great, fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

I'm 9dpo and had spotting this evening. So confused as AF isn't due until Tuesday. Last cycle was 33 days and today is only day 23.

I think I’m having a chemical as there’s no progression this morning!

I'm sorry to hear that! I think there was also someone on the Jan thread, who didn't have progression the first few days but then it got a lot stronger!
For me the insomnia started again last night, with my dd waking up every 2-3 hours and my husband snoring so I feel crazy today!

It’s normal for HcG to only rise every 24-48 hours. If your last test was just after a rise then it could be a couple of days before you see another rise. Try to relax as much as you can (I know it’s hard), some self care, have a bath and unwind xx

@Anya23 I do remember this! Maybe I shouldn’t give up hope until AF comes!

@BellaStar2020 thanks I hope so! I think my problem is that I’m comparing to yesterday’s afternoon test like I’m expecting some miracle rise! But they do seem quite faint for 11/12dpo

I still see progression! 🤞

Am I that desperate I have line eyes now? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Anya23 - she prescribed me a custom chinese herbal tea that is meant to soothe stress, support digestion and balance the gut-liver connection. It's gross, but here I am drinking it anyways! She also said to drink nettle leaf tea as it is supportive of blood volume and anti-inflammatory and to eat 1-2 brazil nuts a day to increase selenium for egg quality as I have very low AMH.
@Glittertint - I've been doing the hot water bottle too, and she also said to soak my feet in salted warm water in the evenings to promote relaxation. It chills me out a bit in the evening. I also see progression in your tests, so don't count yourself out just yet! It's also really hard to compare dry tests with fresh, especially as it's still so early.

I deffo see something on this!

I see something here!

I got this on a cheapie which is why I got an early detection clear blue. Neither were FMU 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I’m due on, on Sunday.

I see something on both!! Mine are similarly faint and I’m due on Sunday too! Fingers crossed for us both ☺️ and also in a way hope this reassures us both for the fainter lines early on!!
