@rubywho12 that sounds promising especially for 8 / 9 DPO. Hopefully should become darker in the next day or two.

I'm so crampy this morning and heaviness on my front and back so will use the early detection tests too.

rubywho12 · 14/08/2026 08:51

@Biyobio@lauren19890keeping fingers crossed for you both too! ✨🤞

I also have some clear blues so thinking maybe I’ll try those Saturday/Sun! I just used the amazon cheapy strips this morning

lauren19890 · 14/08/2026 08:54

Ive got some lower back ache and these little zappy like pains again, lasting only a second a time but takes my breath away. Got achy legs and feel grumpy 🤣 basically feel how i would if my period was coming. Cant wait to see everyones updated later 🤞

Hows everyone feeling today?

Period is due in 5 days and im trying to hold of until the day after its due to test as last time was a chemical so dont want to be disappointed.

Awful metallic taste in my mouth today and so emotional yesterday!

Interesting about the stuffy noses! That has been me randomly in the morning!

I shed a tear at The Scarecrow’s Wedding this morning and also has to run to the loo earlier, stomach feels a bit on edge. Hmmm. I hate that all of this could be normal/PMS, I’ll feel so stupid

Vimto1991 · 14/08/2026 13:07

I’m crampy with back pain, too! Also feeling nauseous. Cramping with my first sign with my first so fingers crossed!

lauren19890 · 14/08/2026 14:27

The idea that this is all for our period to arrive breaks my heart when i think about it. 🥺

I know! So frustrating that so many symptoms cross over! Lots of over thinking happening.

lauren19890 · 14/08/2026 19:52

9dpo tested using clearblue ultra early, negative. Period not due until 19th. Am mad its negative and even madder i wasted a test when i knew it was too early anyway 🤣🙈

@lauren19890 oh no that’s a shame, but the temptation just takes over!

is it just me the last 10 days have went so fast but the wait to Monday to when my period is due feels like forever !

I keep losing my symptoms and gaining them again so it’s a real mind game

lauren19890 · 14/08/2026 21:06

Yeah its torture 😔 cant think of anything else!

@lauren19890so hard to resist when the tests are just sitting there! It’s still so early 🤞

Redheadx · 15/08/2026 07:13

Okay ladies caved again, no doubt this time about the line. Still don’t know if I believe it, going to wait until Monday until period due test again and tell my husband! It’s hard keeping a secret!

Congratulations @Redheadx and @rubywho12 !!!!

With all the cramping I decided to test and tested positive. 11 DPO today and will test again Monday then Wednesday when AF is meant to be due. Not mentioning it either to anyone but loving keeping it secret to myself 🤗

@Redheadxthank you! 9 or 10 DPO - my oura ring and natural cycles date differs by a day. How many DPO are you?!

rubywho12 · 15/08/2026 07:28

@Biyobioomg congratulations!! 💗

Redheadx · 15/08/2026 07:30

@Biyobio congratulations 🙌 this is exciting!

@rubywho12 im not too sure how many DPO I am because I don’t actually test. Roughly 13 DPO but could be earlier, worried about the colour of the test if I am that far along

Biyobio · 15/08/2026 07:31

@rubywho12 thank you! So wonderful to have woken up to great news and then to see yours and @Redheadx update.

Biyobio · 15/08/2026 07:34

Thank you @Redheadx ❤️

I know easier said than done but don't worry. You've clearly got a line and within the next 48hrs it'll get stronger. Without tracking it's hard to know what DPO you are on so may actually be less days then you think. Either way congratulations!!

Redheadx · 15/08/2026 07:44

@Biyobio thank you for your kind words, they are very helpful and your right ❤️I should just be happy and enjoying it, currently on next ordering big sister T-shirts for my 2 year old to surprise husband with lol

Baby2pls · 15/08/2026 07:56

Wow I missed so much! Congratulations all three of you ❤️❤️

@Redheadx last time I got my BFP at 12dpo and it was relatively faint so don’t worry. There’s a bazillion things to obsess over but those blazing positives are more likely to come the following week.

I’ve woken up with a really sore throat and sore boobs! Prayingggg

lauren19890 · 15/08/2026 08:11

Morning!!! Congrats everyone!!! Am 9 or 10 dpo and negative. Feeling very meh about it and losing hope but so happy for you all 🙂

@lauren19890 hopefully yours comes if not this cycle then next ❤️
