TTC for the first time - anyone else?

I can see a line!

I can definitely see a line, especially in the b&w pic.
I reckon it'll show up darker with FMU. X

Oops soz for the double message, didn't do the images properly on the first one

Ladies!!!! Am I being crazy or is there a line that could possibly show up if I use fmu.....added the pic in black and white cos it totally shows up that way!! It's a real squinter...or am I insane?

Hahaha I've done that to DH too, he's always willing to do a change in size feel I wonder why?

He's getting all excited and I think he just wants to know whether he's got another month of good sex coming up or not lmao

I also drive myself mad symptom spotting but I don't share that with my DH as I think he'll think I'm crazy!

When I have an absolute, no doubt bfp I'll tell him :)

I think this is 2WW symptom spotting going into overdrive - seriously this is only cycle one and I'm already going insane!! I keep telling myself AF is going to come any minute now so I'm not hugely disappointed when she does.

I am a firm believer that this everything we see/feel is completely and utterly psychological and when we do get a BFP we will have no symptoms whatsoever lol

I used clear blue double pack with a normal test and a digital one, the digital one puts me at 2-3 weeks so 4-5 in doctor speak. But my last period was nearly 7 weeks ago so not 100%. I'm not good at working this stuff out

I haven't told anyone in real life except my DH so it's nice to share!

I think my body is playing tricks on me, i have had cramping and fluttering (not horrendous just odd) on and off for a few days although not due AF until 22nd and my nipples are very sore! I have a feeling I am going to drive myself mad - thinking I am then getting really disappointed when AF arrives!

Eeeek Alis congrats!!!

I'm 2 days late according to Ovia, 2 BFN's last week - couldn't help myself but I don't want to test again yet... I feel something going on with my body, it's not quite same as AF but she's such a bitchslap I'm sure she's just messing with me.

Awww the puppies!! I have two little Westies and they are adorable, kinda regretting getting them both neutered as would probably have done really well using one as a stud as his coat and temperament is absolutely perfect. Suffering from Ringworm in this house, I'm keeping my distance as medication isn't suitable for preggers ladies

Definitely innersanctum! I have spent so much of my adult life trying not to conceive - TTC seems almost an impossible thing!!

Great news for the others with their BFP

Hi ladies, would it be ok to join this thread? DH and I are TTC #1 I came off the pill in August and had my first real AF last month - I am using Ovia app - and used OV test strip when app said I should have been oving but didn't get a positive reading - I seem to be oving now lol - it's all such a mine field - I thought I knew how to make babies but seems far more complicated

Erm...carry on as normal? And it will probably happen when you think it won't.

I was drunk on Wednesday this week

Wish you all the best of luck and a prompt BFP!

Oh wow Alisvolatpropiis that's amazing - congratulations on your multiple BFPs!!! How exciting! Any words of wisdom for us other beginners?

So exciting for you, here's hoping you have a fab pregnancy!

Tested again yesterday and got BFP x2. Totally didn't expect it.

Just have my fingers crossed all goes well now.

Best of luck to everyone!

It would be fine if I didn't get maternity pay, we have savings too and my husband earns well - but just seems a shame to miss out on it. If it meant having to wait longer than a month I don't think we would but when it is so close we may as well. We're still not going to be using protection, just not DTD as often as we would be if we were really trying! So that way - if it happened anyway then it was meant to be but we're not going to make a massive effort. Just want the next month to go very quickly!! And you guys will all be experts by then and can tell me what to do :-)

We have been completely reckless with our timing... I am on a fixed term contract which is due to end in March - although there has been discussion of an extension. However, we have savings and are in a good position mostly. Hubby is 33; we don't want to lose time now. He doesn't want anymore newborns after 40. Plus, there is never a right time to have children, just some times are better than others. Understand your reasoning though, especially if it is only a few weeks.
