Long time lurker, first time poster. Smile
This is my first month TTC and it's all I can think about. DH and I agreed to start trying and instantly I've become all consumed by it. I've been tracking my cycle since the beginning of the year as I knew we would start trying this year (got married 3 months ago) and I have two app's that have told me very different dates of when I should be ovulating so who knows if we've been dtd at the right time.
I thought I'd be a 'when it happens, it happens' kinda girl but turns out that I'm not.
No one knows we are trying and am reluctant to discuss with a couple of close friends due to their own baby making circumstances and I don't want to drive DH crazy with it all so thought I'd drive you all crazy instead Wink
Because I've been tracking my cycle since the beginning of the year I feel like I know what's going on down there and then this month, it's been quite a different cycle with pink spotting last week and brown spotting yesterday.
Please keep me sane!

Hi girls :) I've been away a while, I'm glad to see some BFPs.

I'm still waiting, holiday frolics didn't produce anything. In theory AF should be due tomorrow-ish. Am determined not to test until I can be sure it's late (not least because I'm running out of ICs Blush). Bit demoralised by it still.

Good work girls! Inspirational!

magpiedreams · 20/07/2015 11:11

Ooh, congrats louwn and london! I see them both too. FX for both of you x

PallasCat · 20/07/2015 09:58

FX for you both louwn and LL2015 xx

louwn · 20/07/2015 08:22

AF isn't due til sat/sun for me but ovulated pretty early in cycle this month so am already 11 dpo. I might try again on Thurs being 14 dpo and if still positive I will do a clearblue digital.

Londonlady2015 · 20/07/2015 08:16

louwn was going to thurs but might wait until Friday. AF due to arrive between weds-fri and experiencing classic pms symptoms (pelvic pain, tired, acne, emotional) so trying not to get hopes up too early...

louwn · 20/07/2015 07:55

Fx for us both London. I only tested cos I did a random OPK yest which had a pretty dark line. How long are you waiting to test again - 2 or 3 days?

Londonlady2015 · 20/07/2015 07:50

Thanks for being so speedy on opinions all. Not getting hopes up until later this week so going to keep head down and concentrate on work etc. honestly, if my Preseed didn't come with free tests I'd never think to test before AF even due!

Agree Indomitable, also DH is confused I think because it is a different system to OPKs...

louwn · 20/07/2015 07:35

London I agree! Hopefully they are just light because we are testing early.

Indomitable · 20/07/2015 07:34

Lol! Yes, my DH was the same. I'm pretty sure he was just indulging my insanity for the 4 days between IC line and the digital. They should rename them Pregnancy Tests for Men/Partners or something. Or the "I told you I wasn't hallucinating" test.

MyNameIsSuz · 20/07/2015 07:34

Ooh congratulations!!!

louwn · 20/07/2015 07:32

Thankyou! DH is slightly disbelieving... hopefully I will be able to do a digital in a couple of days with the words on it!

Indomitable · 20/07/2015 07:32

I can see that one too London!

(And, having peed on a ton of IC sticks and never having generated an evap line, I'm not convinced they exist. But my evidence is only anecdotal)

Londonlady2015 · 20/07/2015 07:27

louwn I can see a hint of a line there I think? I'm in exactly the same boat and have attached one from this morning. Think I'm kidding self but I swear there's something there. Or just evap line?10 dpo second opinions needed!

Oh dear sorry to read so many people going through a tough time this month - chin up and positive thinking for august it is then! Despite DTDing I don't feel particularly pregnant or maternal, compared to last cycle which ended up in 4 days late AF. Not due another week or so now but anyway summer school is keeping me busy so no time for pondering!

Itsme247 · 19/07/2015 23:19

I'm out. Onto next bus with cycle I've lost count! Ttc is so boring now :(

louwn · 19/07/2015 21:54

Welcome mummybex.
Idly I just did an OPK at 10 dpo...pretty dark line...whats going on?! Bodies are so confusing sometimes..!

Spotsondots · 19/07/2015 21:47

Sorry to hear that several of you are having a tough time for one reason and another, ladies. Be kind to yourselves. Fingers crossed for those moving over to the next bus that august will be less stressful and we will all get our BFPs! Smile
