@Danniidingers @cobalt123 good luck to you guys! I stopped early testing after my chemical but as I am on a hen do this weekend I want to test early so that either way it just comes out of my head slightly of the “what if”

I actually slightly disagree as I had symptoms before my DD and I also had nausea that was the same as I had in my pregnancy with my DD at 9dpo with an chemical pregnancy and I tested positive at 10dpo. I lost it at 4w+5 so it can be an early symptom as some people are more sensitive to hcg, and they say you are more likely to be more sensitive to it if you’ve had a baby before as your body knows how to process it.

I get what you mean, some people do notice things early, especially with early implantation. I just meant that in most cases it’s hard to tell because progesterone causes the same symptoms either way. That’s why I choose not to symptom spot as it’s no real indicator of pregnancy, just disappoint in the end when your period comes 🤷🏼‍♀️

Poppybloom55 · 30/04/2026 16:15

Anyone had a positive yet? I’m 10/11DPO and big fat negative still.

Bluehouse14 · 30/04/2026 16:45

Hi all, I got a positive this morning at day 10 dpo :) quite a strong positive too but my tests yesterday were negative (a different cheaper brand but still sensitive to 10mcg). I had an inkling as I had some consistent cramps most of yesterday. Bit anxious still but feeling hopeful. Hope you all get your positives soon xx

@Glittertinti agree with this. With My DD I was waking up nauseous before my BFP.
also with my pregnancy’s that’s if miscarried I’ve had different symptoms compared to PMS.
but I guess everyone’s body is different ☺️.
if only we new as soon as conception happened would take all of this stress away

mangomama91 · 30/04/2026 17:44

I bought clear blue smiley face ovulation tests this month and today I got a smiley face. I didn't know who else to tell so I'm sharing with you guys 😂
I'm feeling very optimistic about this month!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

@Bluehouse14 congratulations!!!

censor22 · 30/04/2026 19:16

Yay congratulations @Bluehouse14

censor22 · 30/04/2026 19:17

I’m desperately trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard isn’t it, even when you swear you won’t, your brain still goes there

Shiny88 · 30/04/2026 21:15

@censor22yes it really is! I’m 10dpo and keep having cramping on one side for the last 2 days and I’m convinced it’s implantation but BFN on the tests 😅.
what symptoms are you spotting?

Poppybloom55 · 01/05/2026 06:49

@Shiny88 ive had so many symptoms that I don’t usually get in my regular cycle. Including spotting, which I have never done before. Lots of cramping since ovulation, falling asleep in the day, vivid dreams, brain fog. But 11/12DPO today and stark white on the tests. BFN and I can feel my period coming today. So I’m out. I hope you get your BFP. What tests are you using? I’ve got cheap ones but they’re all 10mIu

Yes! Weirdly in my CP my symptoms were like I was 6 weeks along, almost like my body was overreacting to the hcg and rejecting it! I woke up at like 10dpo desperate for a biscuit otherwise I was going to be sick! My DH instantly said “you’re pregnant”! I know!! If only we like bled a different colour at conception haha 😜

Glittertint · 01/05/2026 07:06

I did a test this morning and BFN. But I’m either 9 or 10dpo so I’m just going to see over/after the weekend if AF comes before I test again! Only did it so I could go into the hen do I’m on tonight not completely wondering! Assuming AF is coming so not got any hopes up now!

Sunnybow94 · 01/05/2026 07:46

@censor22 I’m only 6 dpo but I got really irritated by dh last night, he said more than usual for before my period (which was brave) and probably a big coincidence but I’ve just had cramp in my leg which I’ve only ever had while pregnant.

Danniidingers · 01/05/2026 08:55

I’ve woken up this morning with the worse headache I’ve ran outta tests so just waiting on my Amazon to deliver but I’ve saved my fmu 🤞

Ash2345f · 01/05/2026 11:56

Hey guys I’ve just done a 6 days early test clear blue does anyone see anything on this or am I going insane / maybe an indent ?

@Ash2345fdefo looks like something is starting to appear I’ve took the same test with my FMU and couldn’t be more negative if it tried 😞 how many dpo are you! Xx

I’m 10 DPO not holding out but I’ll probably test again tomorrow as I am meant to be at a party. How many DPO are you? X

MochaLove · 01/05/2026 12:43

Just to update I am now 16dpo according to my app and still no period. Been having mild cramps since yesterday. I’ve done several tests this morning which both show a faint pink line but I feel like the line is faint for 16dpo. Unless I ovulated later but I did find my peak using OPK 🤔

ChasingRainbow5 · 01/05/2026 13:42

Hiya, just starting the TWW here.

I had a miscarriage last month at 6.5 weeks and didn't want to wait for my period, had strong lines on OPKs Tuesday and Wednesday so think I ovulated yesterday.

Congrats to those with BFPs already 🤗
