TTC first baby

@katie1109 Don't hold off help just yet 😂. You could still get your positive! X

@littlelisa34 Oh really? So when you get the smiley face you dtd that day and the next day, is that right? God yeah I can see why you were surprised today! 😂. I'm the same I don't tell my other half about symptoms either, I told him about my chemical the other month because I'd obviously shown him my faint lines 😔. I'm only using Ovia an Flo apps at the moment, like you I can't get to grips with the body temping! For these next 2 months I'm going to dtd every other day and see if I catch, if not on cycle 6 I'll use the clearblue opks I think 🤔 xx

@Katie1109 try and hold going to the loo until they arrive hun and stay positive you just never know x

@Hewie30 i use glow, Ovia, clue and flo.. I never really thought about not ovulation because I used clearblue opks and got a solid smiley but because I'm 4/5 days late for my AF I thought maybe that was a chance never thought it was because I was pregnant.. it was definitely a shock I try not to tell him about any symptoms or anything really because I never wanted to get his hopes up but I told him last night that I didn't think I was and I was sure AF would be here this morning.. so definitely in shock. Yeah I'm going to use the other clear blue next weeks and hopefully the weeks indicator will of gone up 😁 do you use opks? Or temp? I never could get a handle on temping ☹️xx

No, no post yet, but they’re definitely arriving today, probably within next 1-2 hours. I think I lost my hope now anyway :(

@katie1109 I agree with @littlelisa34 hun. Because it's been in a while it's really hard to say if it was spotting to begin with and the colour to start with too. Id try hold in your urine for a few hours then to a test. Have they arrived yet? X

@littlelisa34 That's good that in tally's in with your apps 🙂. What apps do you have? Haha I got 2 and do exactly the same don't worry 🤣. Oh really? That's strange! Is that another reason why you thought you might not of ovulated or was it mainly because you were late? Awwh bless him 😂😂, that's so sweet! Definatly not something anyone TTC would joke about but he was probably in shock like you are haha. Awh so for him it's a huge shock!
That's a good idea with the frers, their really sensative so you should get some amazing lines with them 😍 x

@Katie1109 because you've had it in for 6 hours it's hard to say if it was dark before or just gone that dark over time.. I would definitely try and hold my wee for at least an hour and test Hun x

@May2311 thank you very much hun 😁

Sorry I know this is absolutely gross but this is all I have on my tampon after 6 hours. Normally my af starts straight away very heavy and bright red and I have to change tampons every 4 hours. I haven’t put another one in, just left a pad. Any hope this is spotting or weird af?! Any point in testing now? x

@littlelisa34 Congratulations!!! I am so pleased for you😊

@Hewie30 yeah I'm hoping it's a strong sticky one.... going to buy some FRER tests either today or tomorrow and do one every couple of days make sure that line gets darker xx

@Hewie30 no my test says 2-3 weeks which does coincide with my ovulation and my apps as I have four of them.. I don't know why I just keep them all updated every month so then I know I'm not missing anything.. funnily enough this month before ovulation I usually get quite a lot of EWCM but this month I didn't barely get any which I thought was strange so maybe that had something to do with it, I don't know.. he thought I was joking at first which I would never do so I FaceTimed him and showed him the test.. he was a bit lost for words to be honest just in disbelief and how happy he was he's wanted children for years and he always left it up to me to decide when and I think he was sure it was never going to happen xx

@katie1109 Awh don't worry hun that's what we're here for to support eachother and then celebrate when we all get our positives 😉 x

@littlelisa34 wow third urine of the day! You got a strong bean 😍😍😍 x

@tryingforbabyone thank you and I know still in complete shock.. my day off today and I'm supposed to be meeting up with some friends but I've cancelled because I just don't think I can keep it to myself and I don't want anybody in my circle to know yet I think it's still really early x

@littlelisa34 Awh was it!! That gives me hope I'm on cycle 4 and it feels like it's taking ages although like you said realistically it's not long at all. Every month just feels long when your counting down doesn't it 🤣. Haha good ol Google what we do without that with typing our symptoms in and questions 🤣. Your test says 3-4 weeks doesn't it? Does that work out when your app says you were ovulating out of curiousity? Haha! Bless you hun, the excitement was too much 😁. What did he say? X

@littlelisa34 wow! So so pleased for you and what a lovely surprise!

@Katie1109 that's what us on these threads are for to celebrate good stuff but to get each of us through these crappy TWW hurdles.. good luck for when you get home will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you Hun 😁xx

@littlelisa34 and @Hewie30 thank you so much for your support. I haven't said anything to my fiancé yet because I do not want him to worry either way so at least I do not feel lonely x I will be home in 30 minutes, so will update you on what the flow looks like.

@Hewie30 this is our 5th month and compared to some women hasn't taken very long but it seems like forever..yeah I definitely though AF was on its way I was even googling not ovulating which would make me miss AF this cycle I only tested to make sure it was a BFN so I could tell the doctor didn't even use FMU it was my third time going for a wee.. yeah I had planned on doing like a special surprise for him but I couldn't hold it I rang him and told him he was as shocked a I was x

@Katie1109 It's okay hun you can gross us out 🤣🤣. If it's not your normal AF symptoms and you feel out of sorts definatly test, try not to worry. I know it's easier said then done but you got us here for support, let us know when your home and you've taken the tampon out 🤞. Hopefully it's just spotting x

@littlelisa34 Awh bless you I bet!! We all keep an eye out for symptoms and when we don't get them we assume it's not our month, I'm so happy for you though it's amazing news 😁. Oh really? That just goes to show that you really never know, even if you think AF is coming you can still get your positive ❤️. How long have you been trying? Have you told your other half? Bet he's so excited! X

@Katie1109 I know Hun but you just never know and until you take a test try not to worry like @Hewie30 said some women spot early on in pregnancy so if it's not a lot you still might be in with a good chance x

@Hewie30 thanks Hun..still really early so I'm trying not to get too over excited I'm more shocked than anything.. yeah just cramps which I swear were exactly the same as when AF is about to start.. slightly sore bobs but nothing that would make me think it was anything and I was looking for this increase in CM and honestly I haven't had any of that just a slight bit when I wipe.. all that I've read up on I was looking for these stand out symptoms but shows there doesn't have to be to get a BFP x
