Hello there

Is there anyone else on here trying for their first baby around the same age as me? 25/26? Would love to talk to someone about it as I am currently driving my husband mad with all the TTC chat!

Yeah that's Defo a good idea claire Fx for you! Make sure you let us know! X

88claire · 20/12/2016 10:42

Thanks everyone! I think it might be my eyes playing tricks on me. Will see what happens tomorrow :)

Now to the yearly present wrapping morning.... Urghhhh!

ttcnovice · 20/12/2016 10:05

I can't see a line on those photos either claire sorry, but the OPKs remaining positive for that long, and a couple of days of spotting sounds promising! Good luck for tomorrow, let's hope there's a BFP coming your way!

88claire · 20/12/2016 10:00

The ovulation kits have been positive for about 4-5 days now... Strange!

88claire · 20/12/2016 09:59

Amz

I have two clear blue and one First response waiting! But will try tomorrow. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow morning anyway so can speak to them about everything either way.

It's a real squinter, I've been holding it under lights and on different backgrounds and I can see a line but the camera doesn't! Maybe my phone is telling me something....

Amz26 · 20/12/2016 09:56

How frustrating claire that It won't show up on the camera! Well that sounds like you may still have a chance then! How long has the OPK been showing positive for?
Yes Defo let us know, maybe use a different test tomorrow? X

dangle90 · 20/12/2016 09:51

Aww hope it is a bfp claire! Fx!

88claire · 20/12/2016 09:34

Amz

I can't get it to show up on camera which is annoying... I can definitely see something but not sure if it's a line or an indents or an evaporation line (not sure what one of those is to be honest).

I thought AF arrived but it was just a couple of days of spotting in the end.

Will let you know tomorrow I guess!

Amz26 · 20/12/2016 09:27

I can't see the line on the hcg test, can you try and take another photo? Also that's really strange you're getting such a dark line on the OPK! I thought you got your AF? I have heard of people getting positive on a OPK and not on the hcg test and going on to get a BFP.. Fingers crossed X

88claire · 20/12/2016 09:17

Took these today with the first morning urine.. I can definitely see a very faint line on the hcg test... Anyone else see it?! It was difficult to capture it on camera. Obviously the opk is positive... It has been for days!

Oooo fx!!! How exciting Grin

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 23:04

That doesn't sound good dangle I guess being off the pill does strange things to us! Yeah I'm going to test Xmas eve, as that will be nearly a month since I was off the pill..plus I think I've already ovulated now as the OPK are getting more faint as the days go on.. So I think I'm in the 2week wait now 🤔

dangle90 · 19/12/2016 22:11

I feel terrible today! Sick, headache, back ache ConfusedConfused when you going to dare test amz? Xmas eve?

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 21:47

Yeah I'll Defo let you all know what's going on :) It does sound like a good day to conceive..I want to see some BFP on here soon 😀😀

ttcnovice · 19/12/2016 21:41

Christmas eve testing sounds exciting Amz! You'll have to let us know how you get on if you do. A surprise BFP would definitely make your Christmas I'm sure! Xmas Grin

I ovulated around CD16 last cycle, so if it was the same this time around it'd put it on the 1st Jan. New year's day sounds like a good day for conceiving doesn't it, Fx!

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 21:18

Yeah I might do that! Maybe on Xmas eve 😁 That would be the best gift ever 😄 No the only thing I had around 10 days ago was some CM with a little bit of blood, so not much has been going on! Yeah I nee you just want it over with now.. When day did you ovulate last month? X

ttcnovice · 19/12/2016 17:56

Might be worth taking a test in a few days just in case Amz with those symptoms! Have you had no signs of a withdrawal bleed yet? I'm okay, on day 3 of AF now, thanks for asking Smile. Eager to get AF out of the way so we can try again! Here's hoping for a lucky cycle number two xxx

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 17:35

Would be amazing ttc I have got a few symptoms such as really sore nipples, backache and feeling very sick each time I'm at the gym.. Which is not normal at all! But I think it's my hormones getting back to normal.. I've never been a lucky person so doubt I'll be in luck this month 😁 How's things with you ttc X

ttcnovice · 19/12/2016 15:15

Yes definitely Amz you never know you may just get a BFP regardless! Let's hope so!

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 14:50

Yeah ttc I think my body is confused haha.. Think the best thing to do is keep DTD and see what happens!

How exciting ash so was that your second cycle? X

AshAlee1989 · 19/12/2016 13:32

It is a lovely Christmas present. Went to the doctors this morning for my hospital referral and they've said I'm due 1/9/17. Eek!

ttcnovice · 19/12/2016 13:20

Congratulations Ash that's amazing! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful Christmas now!

Sorry Amz I'm not sure about your most recent OPKs, they don't seem to be following any kind of pattern do they! Maybe it's just your hormones being a bit all over the place after coming off the pill.

claire Fx you get a referral and some answers ASAP!

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 09:35

Congratulations Ash what a lovely Xmas present.

Haha I know dangle so confused atm! I don't blame you wanted to wait a few months to start using the OPK, they mess with my head 🤔

I'm just going to keep testing.. Ive added a few pictures of my OPK from Friday and today! I didn't save the picture for the one on Saturday but it was like the second picture.. so does anyone know what this means?

Sounds like a nightmare *claire that's good you're going to the doctors tho.. Hopefully they can give you some answers X

Ash

Fortunately I am still a patient under gynae and endocrinology at a hospital in London so I'm hoping they will just refer me back. They did say they would have a low threshold for seeing me again when I am ready to have a baby. I think I'm too complicated for a GP unless they have a specialist interest in fertility.

I'm not writing off getting pregnant naturally and trying to do the deed every 2-3 days to cover all bases Wink you never know!

AshAlee1989 · 19/12/2016 09:04

Thanks guys! My OH is not a lover of Christmas whereas I am so I said now that he has got this early Christmas, will he like it from now on Xmas Smile

88claire I hope your doctors is a good one. My SIL has been trying for a baby for about five years and she has gone back time and time again, but they're not interested!
