@TheUniqueMember ahhh congrats!! I still havent tested. I think 11dpo today but I kind of dont want to know if im out😂 so ive gone from being desperate to test to not wanting to. Ive had some symptoms that I dont know if are good or bad. A little bit of tinged discharge at around 8dpo and v v light pink when I wiped. But it might be totally meaningless. Anyway, super happy for you!

Ah guys, I’m out. AF arrived really early. No idea what’s gone on with this cycle. Best of luck to you all! ✨

@ASpTTC ahh I could totally see what you mean with the line. Sorry to hear. At least if it’s early you can get cracking for next month quicker

Thanks so much. It’s such a rollercoaster this TTC lark isn’t it. This is the exact date that my period started the cycle we conceived our daughter so I’m hoping it’s a sign!

@SpryHazelEagle @ASpTTC @MultilingualMummy @Babydustthisyear best of luck for next cycle ladies ✨️ rooting for you all. Sorry if I missed anyone xx

I still have a horrible sore throat 😅 hoping it goes away tomorrow.. I'm waiting to do a clearblue digital test - the week indicator one - on Tuesday at 14dpo 🥰

Hi all, wondering if I can officially join although I’ll have to jump onto the next thread as AF arrived today after being 3 days late and fooling me into thinking we might have had luck this month. Onto cycle 7. Each cycle is becoming harder to stay positive even though I know some people wait much much longer 🙁💔 Good luck to those who are still waiting to test 🤞🏻

Maybabe256 · 26/07/2026 10:23

Question for you all! Do you test with your partners or show them after? And anyone felt actively nervous to test? Last cycle I tested so regularly because I felt so impatient and this cycle I just dont want to know if its a no. I could just not test and see if AF arrives but were.going on holiday and I want to know if I need to pack period stuff or not

I have a plan of how I'm going to tell him. I thought I'd get a baby grow that says mummy + daddy = me with a card saying daddy to be

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 26/07/2026 11:14

@Maybabe256 I test by myself too. DH doesn’t need to know how many pregnancy tests I’ve taken 😂. Also, he doesn’t get sad in the way I do, which then annoys me! So better i keep it to myself instead 😂

Same here, DH would think I’ve lost the plot if he saw how many I do (and realised how much I’ve spent!) so I do them without. With my first I had a very faint line and then told him once I was late and we did one together. With my second I just handed it to him without saying anything while he was feeding DS 😂 This time I told him I had weird symptoms and was going to test the next day, then told him after I’d done a couple.

Vixminator · 26/07/2026 19:47

I tested this afternoon as I’ve been poorly today, bfn. So I’d say I’m out this cycle. Best of luck to those still waiting x

ThisNoisyLemur · 26/07/2026 20:32

Wishing everyone on to the next cycle all the best for the next few weeks 💔

and amazing congrats to those with good news this month!

cycle 10 for us, had a positive digital 1-2 weeks at 12 DPO and was soooo surprised and buzzing!

The very next day I had spotting and cramping and one sided pain….

Then today I’ve had more cramping and hcg looking lighter than the already faint line I had on analogs… nearly invisible now :(

such an emotional rollercoaster and still not completely clear which way this going, but I’m not holding out hope anymore….

Maybabe256 · 26/07/2026 21:00

Tested this eve and BFN. I think im 12dpo so would expect it to be positive by now. Gutted 😥

Maybabe256 · 26/07/2026 22:02

@ThisNoisyLemur oh im so so sorry what emotional turmoil. Im incredibly sorry. Sending love

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 26/07/2026 22:43

Oh no, so sorry to hear this @ThisNoisyLemur No wonder your emotions are all over the place. That sounds so hard to deal with ❤️ Have you had a chemical before?

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 26/07/2026 22:46

Sorry to hear about the BFNs @Vixminator @Maybabe256 . TTC is so difficult emotionally. The stark white tests are beyond depressing. Hope next cycle will be the one for all of us!

Thank you 🙏🏻

No I haven’t had a chemical before 💔

How are you getting on this month? Did you say you can have super long cycles? How is that to deal with?

TheUniqueMember · 27/07/2026 07:28

Line progression 😊
Still got a sore throat, dd still has a cold haha

TTC - July 2026
HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 27/07/2026 07:30

@ThisNoisyLemur How are you feeling this morning?

Yes, I do have long cycles, well remembered! I always find it so hard to keep track of anything on these threads 😂

I’m CD18 and no sign of ovulation so just waiting for EWCM and for my Lh tests to rise really. Finding the long cycles difficult to deal with atm. When my cycle is just 38 days, that’s not so bad. But the last one was almost 3 months long and the constant have i/ have i not ovulated game got very draining. It feels like I’m missing chances as someone with a typical cycle would have got 3 chances to conceive during that time! Also makes it difficult on a practical level to plan to go away from my DH for a weekend or so as that might be the crucial time!

This looks great!! Really positive line progression ❤️ are you still planning on a digital tomorrow? How are you feeling other than the sore throat? (Little ones are the best for sharing… germs 😂)

Thank you! 😊 haha well I actually took that test yesterday. I am too impatient. I'll do another two, to get 2-3, 3+ 😅 I never had this problem with my dd as I was like 6 weeks when I found out I was pregnant- no planning, no testing so it feels kind of nice that we had a plan here!

I'm feeling good today 🙌 how are you feeling? I was in a terrible mood yesterday for no reason whatsoever 😂
