The previous OPs have gotten their BFPs so I have cheekily created this one just hoping that I could get lucky. Hahaha. 😅 Silly, right ?
A bit about me - currently trying to conceive baby No.2 and this is my 4th postpartum cycle.
So I wish everyone good luck and lots of baby dust! 🤞

Hey! Just wondering how you’re getting on? Did your lines get stronger? I’m cycle day 6 today so back on with TTC but I think I’m not going to track this time and have a “see what happens” month.

Thank you! Yeah they did. I’m 4 weeks today so thought I’d try a clear blue with the weekly indicator and it’s come back 3+ so now I’m really confused because I definitely haven’t got my dates wrong so there’s no way I’m 5/6 weeks. It’s got me all confused! How are you feeling?

Cycle day 6 here too, I started testing with my fertility monitor this morning and got a low reading, going to wait until it reads high to start DTD. Assuming this will be around the start of next week. I hope having a ‘see what happens’ month takes away some of the stress of tracking for you, wishing you lots of luck!

Could mean you’re pregnant with multiples possibly 👀

I did think that lol my lines have definitely been darkening very quickly. But I’ve also read a few negative reasons for high HCG… fingers crossed it all turns out okay. Sending baby dust to you!

cmg91 · 30/05/2026 17:13

When I was pregnant with my twin boys, I had a dye stealer at 17 dpo!!! I got my 3+ positive bang on the right date, though.

I guess you’ll find out at the first scan 😃

I’ve just checked now - two FRER tests stark white so am a little bit confused now. I was sure that at 10DPO the line should have been the same or darker but I’ll check once more tomorrow and write it off I think.

We’ve not been trying for long and this was our first cycle tracking so I know that it was too much to hope for it to have already worked but am seriously confused about the symptoms now.

Sorry to hear your symptoms are going - the TWW is so cruel 💐

That is very confusing, so many things have to line up it’s crazy! I’m sure the symptoms were real, sending you prayers for the test tomorrow 🙏🏼.
im DPO 7 or 8 I think today and I had lower back ache this morning and some dark blood when I wiped, but nothing since…. Not sure if implantation? I’m really hoping….

I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it’s a positive reason for your higher HCG levels 🤞🏼🥰

That sounds so exciting - I’d imagine that was implantation bleeding? Is mid cycle spotting normal for you?

I think I’ve just got a severe case of line eyes but I’m so confused. Throughout yesterday I’ve had extremely sore boobs still - I thought it might be the bra but I used it previously with no problems and they’re sore without it too. I’ve got mild nausea but can get that before my period too and I’ve also got intermittently very wet CM. But I’m 11DPO now and my test is no more informative. I can barely even see something on it :(

It definitely could be! I never ever spot between periods and I had implantation bleeding. It was tiny amounts on and off between 6-9DPO and then completely stopped.

DancingThroughLife02 · 31/05/2026 08:38

Did a clear blue test which was stark white - I might count myself out or leave it until missed period to test again. I’m so confused, the shooting pains in boobs have intensified again and have been having headaches when I never normally do. I do have pulling cramps combined with my normal PMS cramps coming on but I’m not due for another 5/6 days I think. Probably just a weird cycle. Best of luck @Riverofhope keep us updated!!

Sorry to hear it was an indent line! Though sounds like you are still very early if AF isnt due for another 5/6 days? Someone on the Feb thread got a negative at 12dpo, went on holiday, AF never arrived and when they can back and tested they got a “2-3 weeks”! So don’t count yourself out yet!

The symptom spotting can drive you mad. I was fully convinced I was pregnant March cycle, so many “symptoms”. Tests were stark white 😭

Haha teaches me to test so early! For next cycle I want to try to avoid being so obsessive, might even leave out OPK testing and just go with the flow for a while - easier than obsessing over a squinter of an evap line. I’m still hoping for my later positive but if not then just hope these symptoms really do calm down with AF. Had a lot of endo inflammation this month so maybe that’s why I’ve been so symptomatic.

I don’t ever have spotting like that but had more this morning and no other symptoms, I don’t think it is implantation bleeding now… not sure really I had some back ache last month that I don’t usually and was nothing. Might be my age as I’m 40 now, been trying for a year and it’s becoming a bit much emotionally.
The symptoms are all baffling?!

ByAquaFox · 31/05/2026 09:37

I think im 8dpo had some cramps in tummy. Feel quite nauseous tbh but could be anything causing that. Cramping is on and off though and some twinges catch me in my tracks for a sec lol. Oh and sense of smell has gone through the roof because I never used to be able to smell my cat pee or poo..now I can smell it across the house 🤢

ByAquaFox · 31/05/2026 10:28

Also does any one recommend a specific test brand?

Clearblue red dye tests! I bought a few different strips tests off Amazon all claiming to be early detection at 10MIU/ML but they didn’t pick up the faint positive until 2 days after the clear blue red dye

ByAquaFox · 31/05/2026 11:09

How will I know if its a red dye one? X

ByAquaFox · Yesterday 07:15

Used a pre mom pregnancy test. Very clear negative. That being said I am only 9dpo 🙈🤣 I'm meant to be on period Friday so we shall see. Anyone else around 9dpo and started testing? X

AndyBerrick84 · Yesterday 08:25

Morning everyone! My period arrived right on time again this month, so I'm officially starting cycle 8.
I'm currently on cycle day 5 and will start ovulation testing on cycle day 10 when my fertile window opens. I seem to consistently get my peak around days 12–13, so the plan is to have sex every other day until day 16, assuming my partner can keep up! 😅

Who else is trying this June, and what cycle are you on? Is anyone else feeling hopeful that this could be their month?

Also, how often are you having sex during your fertile window?

P.S. Huge congratulations to everyone who's gotten their positive test recently! 🎉

Youabsolutelygotthis · Yesterday 09:19

@ByAquaFoxI am also 9dpo and tested with premom strips this morning. Very negative. Feels like all my symptoms have subsided as well so can’t help but feeling out this month already.

ByAquaFox · Yesterday 09:21

@Youabsolutelygotthis its rubbish isnt it. I wonder how good these tests are though and wether I maybe got my ovulation date wrong so I think im at the point of im just going to have to wait and see if period arrives.

Youabsolutelygotthis · Yesterday 09:23

@ByAquaFoxIt really is. I used these strips when I found out I was pregnant with my son and at 9dpo the line was vvv faint. And only came up in the afternoon. But yeah I think I’ll just wait for my period to come now as well.

ByAquaFox · Yesterday 09:26

I do have some frer arriving today which if I can ill wait till 12dpo and see how things are then.

Hey, I’m DPO 9 today. I tested this morning and nothing to be seen. I’m convinced I conceived and had implantation spotting DPO7 and a little yesterday, but also have had a lot of chemicals. I have no symptoms now either than feeling very down, but I think TTC is taking its toll on me!
