TTC - First time!

Sorry ladies, mad day at work!! Definitely feeling out today, not sure why just feel bleh and as if I would definitely at least see something on a FRER by now! feeling a little bit sad and know that seeing all the family at Christmas all I'll get asked is why we're not having a baby! Off to have a large glass of red

Twisted try your hardest to hold off until the weekend! Your symptoms are sounding on point

TTC it's a strange feeling isn't it! I genuinely thought this was my month, even just the nipple pain was so ridiculously bad! But today I'm definitely resigned to the fact it's not my month.

Ttc - so much harder if you're at home! Get your OH to hide it 🙈 or does he not know how tempted you get?

We all have to keep each other going twisted

Thanks all, I will hold off and see what happens Friday xx

Being off work today really isn't helping my temptation to test must... not... test!

Hand hold twisted AF isn't due for you until Monday is it? Try your best to hold out until Friday, you should get an accurate result by then! Fx for a clear BFP!

charley I feel the same as you, definitely think I'm out! I feel like I'd "just know" if I was, does that make me sound crazy?! Was tempted to do my last FRER this morning, but thought no, I'll just wait and see what Friday brings!

Defo hold off until Friday twisted you'll get a much more accurate result closer to your AF! Yeah good idea!! If you're known as a lover for wine people may be a little suspicious! You won't be able to enjoy the party if you are worried about a possible BFP

Would like to hold out to Friday ideally as only a day away from when Ovia said I should test. But I want to do Friday as I have a party that eve & everyone will be suspicious if I don't have a wine. Lol. I have a reputation as a wine lover xx

Twisted when did you want to test? Try and stick it out as long as you can as you'll be disappointed if it comes up as a BFN! It might not even be right just may be to early to show.. 😀 Hope you feel better, have some chocolate it always makes me feel better when I'm unwell X

My FRERs have arrived, I'm at work. Talk me down please. I need to wait!!

I feel really nausea, sore & swollen boobs & some odd pains alongside extreme fatigue. But I also have a stinking cold & generally ran down as all my team at work are off & im drowning. Aaaah. I need a hand to hold.

Right I've decided I'm definitely out and I'm sticking too it! I've done my last FRER, all my "symptoms" have stopped and I feel PMS like. So I'm going to just go with the feeling that it's not my month and just wait for my period at the weekend.

Haha yeah I found myself not wanting to go to the loo after ! This ttc malarkey makes us crazy lol!

Keep possitive 😀 Thanks ttc that would be unreal but I won't be upset if AF shows either 😁 as I would just like to get start working out my cycle.

Thanks Amz it's always reassuring to hear stories like that! Fx for a withdrawal bleed for you ASAP... or even a BFP without one, you never know!

Yeah that is unusual charley but it's good it's around 27/28 now.. I bet it's a relief when it start to get back on track 👍welcome pink sorry to hear about your MC :( hoping this is a lucky thread and we all get a BFP soon 😀

TTC- it's still really early for you so there's still a chance you could get a BFP soon, you still got a few days until AF is due.. A friend of mine didn't get a BFP until she was 6 weeks pregnant X

Evening everyone welcome Ash and pink! Sorry about your miscarriage pink

I'm feeling okay tonight charley thanks for asking! Glad that you're feeling okay too but I know you'd rather not be!! I've spent today feeling quite down but trying to keep positive now, even if the witch gets me on Friday there's still next month, and with a greater chance statistically than this month! Thanks too for the reality check in terms of HCG levels - you're right we both might just not have a high enough level to show up yet. Still holding out hope for us both!

Dangle I've got to confess to lying flat for a good 15 minutes or so following DTD . I read that there's been no scientific links found suggesting it helps, but it does sound logical so why not try it I say

Hi all

Ttc at 28. Was pregnant last year, not planned but miscarried at 9 weeks. Came off the pill in early November, had period on 15th and was having unprotected sex after. Convinced myself I was pregnant as last year I had only stopped taking my pill for a week after over 10 years of taking it and fell pregnant. But this time though I had all the symptoms, had negative tests and came on two days ago. Am disappointed but got to keep trying!

Amz I was on the mini pill too but unusually I did have bleeds but I know most don't! I went from around every 40-50 days when on the pill to every 15-20 days the first 3 months off. The last few months though they have settled on to 27-28 day cycles with ovulation around day 13.

Dangle I have heard it said a few times too! I don't do any handstands or anything but I have found myself trying to lie on my back and not move for at least 10minutes

Evening ladies! This may sound totally stupid/weird! But do any of you stay laid in bed with legs raised after Dtd just reading some other posts about people doing that, wonder if it's an old wives tale

I didn't have a bleed at all, I was on the mini pill so I think thats common.. Did you charley X

Twisted I think it's definitely best to try a FRER. Although I've never had anything except a glaring white on any test so I wouldn't know but they seem to be lowest HCG detectors! Good luck for Thursday. I'm off work Thursday so might use mine then too!

Amz I was a few weeks before I had a bleed. Did you have periods on the pill? Hopefully you won't get one and will just find a BFP instead

I'm not even sure to be honest charley I only came off the pill around 2 weeks ago so it's really early days ATM.. I did TTC in 2014 and when I came off I had my AF straight away.. So little confused 🤔

Hi charley. He didn't guess due date but said if I fell pregnant now then the due date would be august. I always said I wouldn't want to be heavily pg through summer. However now we're trying I really don't care. I just want a baby whenever it comes.

I have no self control, did my remaining test but no line. However I don't think it's an early test so still hope. I have ordered some FRERs & will try to wait until Thursday at least!!

Twisted just realised I put you instead of TTC in my post this morning, sorry! I really hope you get your BFP Friday though! I definitely saw the line at the bottom of the test. Do you think you can hold out until Friday? Well done on the willpower!!

TTC how are you feeling today? I ended up not being able to sleep until late and woke today feeling totally normal! No tiredness, no pain etc so I'm really losing faith!

Dixie and 88 sorry your both having such a strange time with OPKs. Will be interesting to see if your periods come at normal times.

Amz where are you in your cycle now?

Ash welcome! Everyone in here is really lovely so any questions etc we will try and help!

Hello,

I've just joined the site, and I am 27 and TTC #1. Started trying just over a month ago, no BFP yet (not that I was expecting one) so who knows if this month might be the one. Due on in roughly seven days and not sure if my symptoms are PMS or pregnancy

I don't blame you claire I would do the same! Well hoping it's just to early to show! If you're nervous about drinking maybe just say you're on antibiotics or something like that? Then no one will think anything of it.

Twisted- Wow that would be lucky he guessed the due date! My OH thinks we will get our BFP around March.. Let hoping it's much earlier than that. What did your OH say about the test? X
