TTC #1 thread 1 2019

Hi everyone, would you say this was a positive ovulation test? I did one the Wednesday night and it was negative(no test line atall) I forgot on the Thursday due to a mega busy day in work then I had this test in the picture on Friday morning.

I'm 26 and TTC our first one. Just had a negative even though I had strong implantation pain and my period is late - I think it might have been a chemical pregnancy since my cycle is very regular. Now it will be our 4th cycle trying, I know it's still early but I just feel so sad and frustrated since we have been planning for this so long. It feels like I lost my patience already two years ago. I also feel extremely lonely since I only have friends who have unplanned children (which feels so unfair) or who don't want children yet or at all. I'm glad my boyfriend is 200% in this with me and very calm and reasonable. Sorry for the depressing message, I just had to talk to someone since we don't want to tell anyone that we are trying. 😊 I hope the best for you guys!

@tryingforno2 yes I’m 6dpo slightly obsessing and going crazy 🙈
Good luck this month 💖
@mrsp4 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@MrsE95 I'm crossing everything for you! A bfp for all us 3 would be lovely over the next few weeks 😌xx

Thank you girls I've not had any more since this morning so it's definitely not AF I'm really thinking it was implantation but don't want to get my hopes up AF DUE weds so we'll see

@tryingforno2 I’m currently 4dpo and promising myself I’m not going to go crazy this cycle. 😂

@waiting2bmum I’m doing okay thank you just chilling with it really and it feels good not obsessing! 🙈 how are you doing? Xx

@MrsP4 yep implantation is 6-12 days so still defo in with a chance x

@MrsP4 I've been told by the gynaecologist that saw me in hospital this week that implantation can happen as late as 12 days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Waiting2bMum AF due weds had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday at 11DPO and today 12DPO I went to the loo before and was pink on the tissue when I wiped think its too late for implantation, I feel like I can feel AF there

@TheatreMumma I think I've done the same (the clues in my name 😂) oops I've only just realised xx

Tested this morning and BFN! Think I might be on the March bus! 🚌

I've also only just realised that the original thread topic was ttc #1 - hope you don't mind me totally hijacking!! I'll make up for it by answering any questions if I possibly can! 🙈

Glad to hear you're out and relatively ok now @ChloePD.

Welcome @Hopefulprincess! I came off Mercilon in Oct. I've been on bc on and off over the years but have never had a regular cycle. I only had 2-3 periods a year at one point so it genuinely felt like a miracle when I became pregnant with my son!

I'm so glad ectopic has been ruled out @Tryingforno2. A very small comfort. I think you're supposedly more fertile after a mc so maybe that will bring some luck?? I'm on cd 29 with a cycle that currently falls somewhere between 25-34 days so waiting for AF (most likely) any day now...

Finally discharged from hospital and waiting for medical clearance to fly home seems as though I ovulated on the 20th (my birthday) and so should expect AF soon (no chance I'm pregnant because of the ruptured cyst).

Hoping the next cycle is good for all of us, good luck to everyone

Well my bloods cane back today and have dropped to 15 so that coupled with my other symptoms has now ruled out an ectopic pregnancy. Back on the bd bud for us, we've been talking and we both just really want this and we are just going to keep going, I'm going to pee on an ovulation stick this time every day from when i stop bleeding until I start again and see what this cycle does as I think they can sometimes be a bit messed up after a MC, we will be bd-ing as and when we feel like it but not stressing over it this month.
@MrsE95 @Waiting2bMum how are things with you? Where are you guys up to this cycle? And you @TheatreMumma ?
@Hopefulprincess sorry to hear about your trouble with pcos and best of luck with ttc are you in your 2ww now?? We all turned into crazy ladies during our 2ww last cycle 😂😂 xx

I agree 🙌🏻 Good luck to all xx

There has been loads of bad luck in February! I’m hoping March brings lots of good luck and BFPs with the start of spring. 😁 xx

I’v just read back I see some are having a hard time :( really sorry your going through these things.
Curious as people mentioning pill, which one are you coming off from? In the past 9 months I’v had 2 mc on cerelle (Cerazette?) I thought it was supposed to stop pregnancy and well I stopped taking it completely end Jan had withdrawal bleeding 3 days later for around 4 days then tested opks every day to check for ovulation. I have pcos and it’s never been a problem until this past 12 months, had so many cysts burst which is painful and turns out that pill isn’t ideal for me but doc said it was ok 🤷‍♀️

I think contraception is awful with what it does to our bodies 😓
Congrats on the bfps I’v just seen aswell 😍

Thank you @tryingforno2.
Where is everyone at in ttc?
This is my first cycle since October that was ‘normal’
I had a mc end sep but was on birth control then my appendix burst 🙈
I got positive opks 18th and 19th morning and not symptom spotting - honest ;)
