TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD 10!

It won't let me post as I'm a new user! Typical!!

@cupcakesandglitter thanks for your message. I’m on the normal online version and not in the app. Will install it and send over a picture. I’m putting this all down to stress and it’s reassuring that I’m not the only one! There seems to be a lot of good news on this thread so maybe it’s a sign ☺️ Xx

Thanks @ValidUser ❤️ glad you have support, and you will make a great mum xx

Thanks @thosethreewords x

Ah that's shit @EssJayyCee sorry x

@Michelle2018 if you're on the app tap on the paper clip button - I know it won't help and fx you're not in the position I'm in, but the month we started TTC my regular periods just flipped 😂 I've had tests done and there's no reason for it at all - I had a 38 day cycle with BFNs the whole way... sorry if it doesn't help x

@thosethreewords I know it’s so odd! I haven’t been tracking temperatures, this is all so new to me!! How do I add a photo on here?

@Michelle2018 so strange!! And multiple negatives? Did you confirm O with temperatures? what do your temperatures look like? If you don't mind sending a photo we could look at it (nothing to lose!) If your temp is persistently high, that's a good sign.

I wish I knew what else to suggest! Maybe if it continues you could speak with your GP and they can go through other causes of late/ missed periods.

@EssJayyCee hugs!

I told my lovely mil about my fertility struggle and she was so lovely - told me I'll make a great Mum.

She's the best.

Some of you getting BFP's for Christmas...

Aunt Flo visited me Christmas morning. What a B*h.
Irregular periods suck! I was only on 2 weeks ago!

@thosethreewords I guess i can try and wait, I just want to know if my period is going to arrive or not 😭
But for me there's not much point in waiting as my period is never late, so if it gets late I'll assume I'm pregnant

Yes I have been tracking and we tried all over the ovulation period (using clear blue).

@thosethreewords - I have been off contraception since April this year. We only started trying properly in November. My periods have been regular as clockwork until now. It’s just such a minefield. There are so many posts out there saying you can get negative PTs and still be pregnant! Just don’t know what to think!!

@cupcakesandglitter ahh ok - gosh it's just a minefield. I think I'm going to wait as long as I can!! FX you get some good news soon, hopefully just naff timing with tests etc

@Blueflower22 if your dates are right , you will defo get a positive at 18 DPO I've read. Can you hold til then?!

@Random2468 welcome lovely! So sorry about your MMC. I talk with people about it sometimes as part of my job and I don't really think I will ever be able to truly understand unless I'm in that position myself. I can't imagine how hard that must be. Clearly it's made you reevaluate things, so FX you get a BFP soon x

@ValidUser good luck for tomorrow

@Michelle2018 welcome! Sorry it's been so confusing for you! Have you recently come off contraception? Do you track when you ovulate?

Thanks ☺️ I’m 37. First cycle! Feel like I’m driving my husband mad with symptom spotting so was hoping for some moral support on here. I have never been late for a period but just wondering whether the pressure of it all is making my period late...

Welcome @Michelle2018!

I had similar but wasn't pregnant. Hoping you are! Keep us updated.

How old are you and which cycle are you on?

Hey I’m new here!

We are TTC our first child. I am currently 9 days late. Have sore boobs and tired but no other symptoms. Have done countless PT and all negative. Any suggestions would be gratefully received!!

@MrsEG congratulations!

@cupcakesandglitter give it a day or so, hoping you get your BFP.

I'm enjoying Christmas wine and food and testing in the morning! (Unlikely, but this woman is a hoper!)

Yeah @KatBeCool you're right, I'm stressing myself out after having such a relaxed few weeks. Thanks x

Hi guys, can I join?
Age 28, TTC #1. Had a MMC in October after unexpectedly falling pregnant, now realised we're ready and I want it more than anything 🤗 DH agreed to properly start trying now.. only just finished my first AF after the MMC last week so hoping I don't have 9.5 week long/ongoing highly irregular cycles now! Was on a MC thread which has been so helpful however it's starting to make me overly worried and anxious about having more problems this time.. so decided to join this thread which feels positive! I was charting bbt but I found I was getting obsessive so stopped it and just going to see what happens.. hoping for a bfp ASAP 🤞

Hi guys, I'm currently 11dpo, I tested yesterday at day 10po and got a negative.

I feel like my stomach is heavy and as if I'm not going to go on my period but I might be paranoid.

When do you think I should test next? Tempted to test tomorrow at 12dpo but don't know if it's worth it?

What do you think?

@cupcakesandglitter it still might be too early. Ewcm can appear before, during, and after ovulation in a span of over two weeks. I'd just wait without tests. You went the whole month without poas and extra worries, give yourself the same treatment now.

@KatBeCool I have no idea 😩 I'm CD30 - I had EWCM on CD17, so even if I ovulated then I'd be 13DPO today. So shit because me and DH have been so happy and so ready thinking I'd had my BFP but just starting to feel deflated about it now.

@cupcakesandglitter how many DPO are you? I read the latest people got their positive was 16 DPO. Don't waste a test every day, just wait. Not testing early won't take anything away.

@stormtrooperjulian I did it from the same sample pot 😶

@Scottslass55 I’m on cycle 6. Just planning on dtd every two days for a couple of weeks this cycle, started that on Monday. I’m expecting to ovulate around New Year’s Day, I don’t temp though as I’m a really restless sleeper so I don’t think it would work for me.

@cupcakesandglitter I think the FRER is 6 but maybe the other test picked it up cos you tested first thing in the morning with that and the FRER was was later on in the day.

Thanks @DayDreamer1707

@KatBeCool is it really? :( likely I've had a false positive then

@cupcakesandglitter I thought frer was 6? Ahh, why can't they all just write on the box.
