Hi,
I'm on cycle 5 of TTC with first child. I used clear blue advanced ovulation test for the first time last month and have purchased another one to use this month also. I'm on day 7 of this cycle and am planning on starting ovulation testing on day 12 as I ovulated on day 17 last month. I have a pretty regular 27 day cycle (no longer than 29 days).
I know it's still early days but I feel like it's never going to happen. I can't imagine actually getting a positive result. Is anyone else in a similar position and want to be on this journey with me?
Thanks x

@littlelisa34 I really hope so 🤞! I've had quite a few yeah like heartburn, feeling sick, stomach cramps, hiccups (I never get them) and feeling really tired. I hope I do get my BFP! How many DPO were you when you got yours?

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 18:43

@MummaR92 thank you and they say a BFP dream is a good sign and yes it's still really early for you still plenty of time to get your BFP.. have you had any major symptoms??

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 18:41

@tryingforbabyone yeah it's definitely hard to not get excited when it's all I've thought about for months.. but once today is over with I am going to try and just put it to one side and hope and pray everything is fine for the next 8 months 😁🤞x

tryingforbabyone · 21/08/2019 18:34

@MummaR92 I know exactly how you feel I was the same before AF but all set for cycle 6!

MummaR92 · 21/08/2019 18:04

Congratulations @littlelisa34 I'm made up for you 😁😁🎉🎉!

So last night I had a dream that I took a HPT and it came out positive 😁 and then fast forward in the dream I had a baby boy called James! I woke up all excited and took a test but nothing 😢. I am due AF tomorrow so I guess it's not over just yet! It's just really deflating after a dream like that!

tryingforbabyone · 21/08/2019 17:15

@littlelisa34 oh lovely 😊 I'm sure you'll be fine but understand your concern! Must be such a strange time; the excitement but also feeling nervous. I'm okay thanks, just ready for cycle 6 now!

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 17:06

@tryingforbabyone I know completely unexpected normally I get loads of symptoms that lead to BFN then this month nothing really.. yeah I'm booked in to see midwife in 4 weeks time unless anything occurs before that which I'm praying that it doesn't. How are you feeling?x

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 17:04

@Hewie30 I've tried to keep myself busy today partner doesn't get home until around 7pm spoke to my sister in the phone was desperate to tell her but I'm not going to do until a couple more weeks have passed.. still hasn't really sunk in trying to stay off google because I know I will be googling what bad signs to look out for 🤪

tryingforbabyone · 21/08/2019 14:59

@littlelisa34 have you got an appointment booked then? I can't believe how unexpected that was for you, it's so lovely Smile

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 14:34

Littlelisa34 Yeah exactly hun! 🤞🤞. How you feeling now, has it sunk in a bit more? Xx

Katie1109 That definatly looks positive hun but I'd keep an eye on it, do another one tomorrow and monitor your bleeding xx

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 14:31

@Hewie30 yeah hopefully you will Hun and you won't need opks and all the other stuff..

@Katie1109 there's a line but I would definitely do another test in the morning and see how the bleeding goes for the rest of the day x

Katie1109 · 21/08/2019 14:25

Another pic I managed to darken it

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 14:19

@katie1109 Okay Hun, try your best to relax and keep yourself busy today and do another test tomorrow with FMU. Hopefully it's just some bleeding in early pregnancy, unfortunately some women get that and you might be one of them 😘 xx

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 14:17

@Littlelisa34 Yeah it's possible that it could be that was my original thought but like you say it would be interesting to see if it shortens them 🤔. I'll see how I go I think 🤞, hopefully I won't need to worry and I'll get my positive this month xx

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 14:11

@Hewie30 maybe that's your cycle length now but I'd be curious if you stopped pregnacare it would get shorter.. yeah I'm definitely not getting too excited until my first appointment which isn't for another 4 weeks seems like a lifetime away..

@Katie1109 I definitely see a line hun plus it's not your FMU.. I agree that FRER are the best tests out there but test in the morning and see how that goes and try and relax hun although I know how hard that is..

Katie1109 · 21/08/2019 14:04

I wouldn’t say it’s heavy but it’s not just spotting and it is red. I’m soooo confused :(

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 14:00

@Katie1109 I can see a faint line 😁🤞. You bleeding heavily or light again? Id test tomorrow with FMU hun, also see if you can get some frer as they are more sensative and less likely to get runs x

Katie1109 · 21/08/2019 13:46

Is this a Line?!?! I’m bleeding now though, yesterday it was clear bfn today I swear I can see a line! What is going on?

@littlelisa38 Thanks hun ❤️. It was gutting, seeing the positives and getting my hopes up then doing 3 more and seeing it get fainter then to nothing was horrible. It's taught me not to get my hopes up really, as horrible as that sounds i don't want to get excited like I did then. Yeah that's a good idea hun I'll do that! Be interesting to see if it does get shorter, I've taken the pregnacare before I come off the pill so the lengths have always been 33, 34 an 35 x

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 13:34

@Hewie30 I'm really sorry about your chemical I can't imagine going through anything like that.. well you know my opinion on pregnacare but I would wait and see how this cycle goes into next AF and then if your still getting delayed AF maybe move onto seven seas conception I've heard lots of good stuff about them. You sound like you have a good plan for this time round and hopefully you get your BFP 😁xx

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 13:24

@Katie1109 Id still test hun, especially if your not bleeding now. Wait a few hours and then do one 🙂. Try remain positive it can definitely still be a BFP and you just had a bit of a bleed x

Hewie30 · 21/08/2019 13:23

@Littlelisa38 Ah okay! That's alot of baby dancing isn't it 😂. But so amazing it's worked for you ❤️. Erm it was my second cycle and I worked out I was 2 weeks so 4 weeks if you date back to your period. Your already further along 😘. This is very true, that's why I want to leave it at least 6months of trying before thinking of using it. September will be month 4. My only concern at the moment is the pregnacare possibly prolonging my cycle and me completely missing ovulation. So I'm going to dtd every 3rd day then week before and fertile week do it every other day x

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 13:16

@Katie1109 if there's been no rush of bloody or anything I would definitely test.. I know it's hard but least you will know one way or another Hun x

littlelisa34 · 21/08/2019 13:15

@Hewie30 no I got one day of flashing smiley so dtd them and then two days of solidly smiley so them two days also and then the day after that.. how far on were you when you had your chemical? I think the longer you can hold out without opks and temping and all that the less stress you add to an already highly stressful time xx

Katie1109 · 21/08/2019 13:09

Right, tests just arrived. Should I test or not? Since taking tampon out not a single drop or sign of any blood or discharge on my pad and it’s been nearly 2 hours now. I’m scared to test and get bfn because I feel like I’m just going to breakdown :(
