TTC first baby

@littlelisa34 and @Hewie30 I don’t really know what it looks like until I take tamping out when I get home in about an hour. Depending on what it looks like I will test, I’ll try not to gross you out and stop myself from posting tampon photos lol x I’m feeling so confused and like I need to sit in the corner somewhere and cry my eyes out x

@Katie1109 I think you should definitely test because all the signs show unusual for you and not normal af symptoms and honestly the body is a very strange thing and maybe these are your symptoms I don't know but I think you should test to make sure.. I was really cold these last couple of days but that's not unusual for me I'm a bit of a cold arse but maybe that something for you I know it's hard but try and stay positive hun xx

@katie1109 Is it spotting? Id take a test just incase hun to reassure yourself. It could be that your pregnant as some women experience spotting in early pregnancy x

@littlelisa34 Congratulations hun!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you 🙂. Did you only get cramps and no other symptoms? X

Hi @littlelisa34. I had no choice had to use tampon because I did not take a pad with me to work today. I will be at home around 12 and will take it out, also some clear blue test are meant to arrive today. Is there even a point in testing? It does not feel like my normal af and now I'm feeling very dull pain all over the place and I'm freezing cold to the point of shivering :( What is going on with me?

@Katie1109 thanks Hun.. if your still unsure don't use a tampon Hun.. have you took a test today?? Was it like your normal AF?

Please help !
Right, I do not really know what is going on. I had a really strong pain on my right side this morning and 3 hours later started to bleed, do not know how much because I assumed it was my 5 days late af and put the tampon in. Normally my boobs stop being sore the moment my af arrives but they seem to have got worse! Also I'm cramping, but not like period cramps at all. I'm feeling so confused, can I still be pregnant?! I thought I had all the symptoms :(

@littlelisa34 congrats hun!!

Well ladies I woke up this morning with cramps so I was researching things about maybe I didn't ovulate and that's why my cycle wasn't starting so I thought I should take a test to make sure I definitely wasn't but I only have clearblue digitals in the house and I didn't want to waste any money on a FRER because I was convinced I wasn't and I just got my BFP.... I'm in absolute shock other than cramps I've had nothing to indicate that I was

Hi all!

I'm 33 and TTC #1. I came off the pill in May and fell pregnant this month. Sadly I think it was a chemical pregnancy which ended at 5 weeks. Was very disappointed and sad.

Am planning to give myself a bit of a break and then try again without the apps and OPKs. I was also a very early tester but I'm thinking about waiting until at least a week after period. I feel like in my case it made the chemical pregnancy even more disappointing.

Hope you are doing well today!

@Hewie30 no worries.. i know I would never have expected pregnacare to do that to my cycle.. I have never been on contraception so it's never something I have ever looked into always just been extra careful but I have read a lot of ladies take a while to get back to a normal cycle

Thank you 😁.
Oh really? That's so strange isn't it! You wouldn't expect it to do that to your cycle 🤔. Have you been off contraception for a while?
I came off beginning of May, had my withdrawal few days later then my first period 4 weeks later so cycle dates have been 32, 34 and 35 🤣🤦 xx

@Katie1109 it's a good sign are veiny boobs

@Hewie30 welcome I started taking pregnacare a month before I started TTC but missed a few here and there, then I had always had bang on 26 day cycles ever since I was around 15 years old never late maybe once in a blue moon it would arrive a day early but very rare.. then month two of TTC i was late by two days but didn't put the two together then month three I was on 29 days and then last month I went to 31 day and I realised that's the only thing that had changed in the previous months so I did some research and absolutely loads of women had had there cycles delayed so I stopped taking and now I just take folic acid only and when I am lucky to get a bfp then I will restart with the pregnacare.. although lots of women had some success with them they obviously just weren't for me..

Hi all, just noticed blue veins on my boobs are very visible, does that mean anything? I haven't noticed them being that prominent before. I'm 18DPO and still no af.

@tryingforbabyone sorry to hear that hun horrible when she arrives but seems that little bit worse when it's a bad month.. on the bright side glad you've got a plan all ready to go I think it's much better when you go into a cycle positive.. hopefully this one will be your month 😁

Thank you I'm hoping she doesn't show either not sure how I'm going to feel if she hasn't arrived by tomorrow, tomorrow will be the longest my cycle has ever been 31 days but that's when I was taking pregnacare and they messed with my cycle haven't taken it for over a month so I'm hoping that's not why I'm late, think that's why I'm trying to hold out testing in case it is because of that but if I can get past tomorrow I might feel a little more hopeful..

Hi!

Do you ladies mind if I join? I'm 30 and TTC my first. The witch kindly turned up for my on Sunday 🙄, so onwards to cycle 4! My cycles seem to be between 34-35 day cycles although I have been taking pregnacare so thinking maybe it's prolonged it? Haven't heard of it doing that until reading this thread 🤔 xxx

@littlelisa34 yes I'm okay thank you. The witch arrived yesterday and I certainly know about it. Cramps are agony today 😔 hopefully it's not on the way for you! Focusing on cycle 6 now. All ready with preseed and SMEP.

@tryingforbabyone I'm good thanks how are you?? Did the witch arrive for you? Still no AF for me as of yet but woke up with cramps this morning so I'm assuming she's on her way sometime today 😫

@littlelisa34 how are you doing?

I'm 18DPO today and still got BFN with first response on FMU, yes I did test even though I said I won't lol . Boobs still sore and have a lower back pain. No sign of anything to do with af. I've ordered clearblue early detection for tomorrow !

@littlelisa34 thanks hun. I'll keep you guys updated xx

@MummaR92 no probs Hun just wish I could be of more help.. good luck for Thursday hope the witch stays away for you xx

@littlelisa34 thank you hun! I'll try and keep my mind off it until Thursday! Xx

@MummaR92 try to stay positive then.. maybe wait a couple of days and test again with FMU.. your still pretty early on, I know loads of women get BFP early but it's not the same for everybody so you're still in with a good chance if AF hasn't arrived..

@littlelisa34 not really no. My boobs feel fuller and more sensitive and last night I had a shooting pain in my lower stomach this happened about 4 times for a split second each time.
