TTC First Baby Thread 21

@MrsH497 I definitely see it! I can't see any colour though but I know that could be because they don't pick up too well on camera - definitely test again!! X

@PrincessConsuela12 @cupcakesandglitter omg no way I can't actually believe you see it!

@MrsH497 v faint but I see it too!! Definitely test again tomorrow/Monday 🤞🏽

@cupcakesandglitter really I'm not imagining it? I'm shaking I took it thought I was stupid so had a quick shower and saw it. Now keep holding under different lights to see if I'm seeing things xx

@MrsH497 I see it!!! Test tomorrow/Monday?! Xx

These are as good as I can get the pics

@PrincessConsuela12 it lasted Sunday to Tuesday/Wednesday. I'm sure it's just a trick of the light and I don't know what possessed me to do it!
Not going to think anything of it

@MrsH497 if you've not long had implantation bleeding there may not be enough HCG built up so try agin tomorrow with FMU. Really hope it's positive for you!

@MrsH497 Sorry, just saw you said there is a pink line... sounds quite positive 🤞🏽 I think most if not all tests can have evap lines but not sure how common they are with FRER...

@PrincessConsuela12 I think it does I'm doubting myself and I can't get it to show in a picture.

@MrsH497 does the line have any colour to it? Apparently any colour is a positive however faint it may be. Do you have a picture?

Ladies talk me down do frer give evaps? I don't know why I did it but I'm convinced there is a faint pink line was that period my implantation

Thank you. @Gemster19 after that I wasn't even sure if I wanted to try again but
7/8months later & here we are.

My goodness, as awful as it sounds, when I was younger I used to be so worried about accidentally getting pregnant & now I honestly have no idea how it happens to people 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Haha, hope you've enjoyed your reading this evening. I seemed to have spent most of the afternoon doing the same... beats watching the football!

What day are you going to test? How many more days until AF is due for you?

I took one earlier today (again!!) and I got a really faint positive - however it was an IC & when I looked up the reviews there were sooo many people saying they have false positives 😩 I'm going to wait until Monday now & take a FRER.

Evening all!

@XjustagirlX - you’re welcome; it’s a tricky journey this TTC business, so anything I can do to help!

@Anny27 @LokiCat - TTC has definitely thrown lots of random anxiety dreams my way. I’d like to say it’s stopped now, but I can’t! It’s definitely slowed though :)

@ljayc - welcome! Everyone here is very supportive and knowledgeable so more than happy to help.
In regards to when you Ov, a lot of women find it later than they think, which is why OPKs are helpful. Your Ov day can move per cycle, but your Luteal Phase (from Ov to AF) doesn’t, so it’s more than possible that you Ov on CD24 and AF will be later this month.
Have you been stressed, travelled or changed something in your lifestyle this cycle that could have delayed Ov?

Hello - I hope you don't mind me joining you. I've never used a chat thing like this before but came across it when googling questions about TTC.

TTC for a while now but struggling to time things right. I usually have a 28 day cycle (give or take a couple of days). I thought I could tell when i was ovulating, but now I'm not so sure lol.

This month I used clearblue ovulation kit starting on CD11 & got 'low' til CD19 and then got 'high' until CD23 when i got 'peak'. I thought i felt ovulation on CD22 but my OPK that morning had shown 'high' and not 'peak' til the following day. I don't know how accurate they are, but if I trust the OPK, ovulation didn't happen til CD 23/24/25 (I think?) which is really late considering I usually have a 28 day cycle. Now on CD25 and trying to work out when AF due now.

Lx

Well think I was exhausted I was falling asleep by 8/9 last night (hubby was late shifts) went to bed stayed awake until he got home at 11 then slept until 11:30am!! 😳don't remember the last time I slept that long!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend I plan on doing very little!

@PrincessConsuela12 sorry to hear about your ectopic . As much as I appreciate it's an absolute blessing for those of us who fall on cycle 1, it definitely makes you wonder if there's a problem every month afterwards when you don't fall, even if you're just not preventing rather than actively trying. I really had no idea how hard TTC actually was until we decided to start, I honestly have no idea now how people fall pregnant by accident!

How are you coping with the 2WW? I've been mega busy at work this week which has been great for keeping me distracted, but DP has just announced he's going out today (which I know means he'll be home about 5am 😂) so I pretty much know my evening is going to spent in early pregnancy internet black holes 🙈.

@Lozzlepop thank you - I've always tried to be a bit of a 'what's mean to be will be' person and I'm pretty sure it's the only way I'm going to stay relatively sane in this process!

Morning all! Lovely sunny day here, I hope it stays!

@Larrydavid @ELW85 @Anny27 TTC definitely took over my real word and dream world as well! I think I was always worried about missing my BBT alarm, so I was always thinking about it 🙈

@Anny27 thanks lovely. If I get through these next few weeks okay, we'll try and book an early scan for 8/9 weeks. Last time I booked one straight away and it was horrible having to cancel it.
When will you be testing?

@Lozzlepop ah it's frustrating when the service lets a place down, glad you enjoyed the food though!
Oh maybe. Hope you can start trying again soon :)

@XjustagirlX it does look like AF is about to start. You may be ovulating later as well.. my previous cycle I thought I had an anovulatory cycle, but I ended up ovulating at CD45, instead.
I got a positive OPK twice, so i think the first it picked up the LH surge when I was about to ovulate but it didn't happen 🤷🏽‍♀️
Our bodies can be really confusing - it's so frustrating!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead xx

@Larrydavid @ELW85 probably every night i have a dream about temping or forgetting to temp. Quite sad really how TTC has taken over my subconscious too 😂

@LokiCat sorry that you are feeling anxious ❤ will you go for an earlier scan for some reassurance?

Anyone due to test this weekend? I think a few were due to test on sunday

I am currently 4dpo so a while off from testing yet :)

@macbless @ELW85 thanks for your help. To make it even more confusing I did a strip opk today and glow put it at one mark below a positive. We then thought maybe I haven’t ovulated so we were going to DTD tonight. Then we were worried that if we DTD it would be harmful.

It’s so difficult.

I’ll keep you updated when AF arrives.

@XjustagirlX sorry just saw you did a test this am. Maybe re-test Sunday if no AF?

@XjustagirlX it looks like the first month your ov temp was about 97.5. If that follows this month then it maybe day 16/17 as @elw85 says you will know better if AF arrives. If no AF in the next few days you could do a test. Have you done any yet this cycle? Xx

@XjustagirlX - you can definitely see a temp shift in the second graph, so I think it’s possible that because of the first two weeks of this cycle not being consistent, it’s probably making it harder to see a shift.
I know it’s an awful waiting game, but if you see when AF/BFP arrives, you should be able to compare luteal phases to see when you Ov. From the second graph, it looks like it’s 13 days. As your LP doesn’t change/vary much (1 day at most) you should be able to pinpoint Ov this cycle. I hope that helps?

Here is my graph from last cycle. This is only my second cycle taking my temps.
