TTC first baby

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

@MummaR92 I know that feeling.. have your symptoms disappeared?

MummaR92 · 19/08/2019 15:11

@littlelisa34 thank you I've just got that feeling that it's not my month now

littlelisa34 · 19/08/2019 15:06

@MummaR92 don't lose hope 12dpo is still really early hun 😁 fingers crossed for you..

MummaR92 · 19/08/2019 12:09

Ok ladies I'm losing hope now I'm not liking the end of this TWW at all! I've had all these symptoms now at 12dpo and still no BFP! I just hope AF doesn't arrive Thursday and that I'm one of these that doesn't get a BFP until after I miss AF!

mrssunshinexxx · 19/08/2019 09:22

@Katie1109 can you get a more expensive Test to do in the morn and upload a pic?

littlelisa34 · 19/08/2019 08:43

@Katie1109 haha I did wonder when you said 30dpo but I just thought maybe my calculations weren't as good as they normally are today lol.. I would try and test in a couple of days lots of women don't get there BFP until a little later on maybe you ovulated later than you thought?

Katie1109 · 19/08/2019 08:41

Crap I have just realised what I've written...twice!! I'm 30CD which is 17DPO for me LOL !!! Normal cycle is always 27 days. Sorry I just re-read what I wrote and confused myself even more.

littlelisa34 · 19/08/2019 08:38

@Katie1109 maybe your Levels just aren't high enough yet if you can maybe wait a couple more days and then test again.. I know that's easier said than done but your levels should be high enough then to detect on a FRER.. your not getting your usual AF signs so that good 😁

Katie1109 · 19/08/2019 08:31

Hi @littlelisa34, yes I'm 30DPO and always regular before, I was never late! I'm not sure whether I'm seeing things though, it looked more like a shadow rather than colour line. I normally suffer from terrible period cramps, but there is no sign of that either.

littlelisa34 · 19/08/2019 08:18

@Katie1109 you are 30dpo?? Does the line have any colour to it?? Really good sign that your AF hasn't arrived especially if that's not normal for you.. and the tiredness is good, it's all looking good for you 😁

Katie1109 · 19/08/2019 07:51

Morning ladies, so still no af here, 3 days late now and 30DPO. Used first response with FMU this morning and I think I can see a shadow but it can be anything (sorry did not have time to take photos). Boobs are still sore and no cramping at all, but I feel exhausted. I'm confused now, do not know what is going on, I have never been 3 days late in my life!

littlelisa34 · 19/08/2019 07:03

@tryingforbabyone hope you had a relaxing night and tried to forget all about it for the evening.. hope your feeling a little better this morning

mrssunshinexxx · 19/08/2019 06:17

@tryingforbabyone don't apologise this is what these threads are for I don't know what I would do to keep sane if I didn't have you ladies as no one in real life knows and I try not to be too intense about it with dh.
I'm on cycle 5 too af due Friday I'm scared for that disappointment already it's crushing and then I usually cry ALL day xx

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 22:20

@mrssunshinexxx it's exactly that. It doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself that 'it's not this month' in hope that it'll soften the blow, in the back of your mind you pray for that miracle. I'm on cycle 5 but I felt different this month. The worse thing is that as well as that instant sinking feeling and heart ache you get as soon as AF or BFN arrives, you then have to put up feeling rubbish and being constantly reminded that you failed again this month by AF. OH and I haven't really spoken all afternoon now as I don't even know what to say to him. I guess bring on cycle 6. Sorry for the negativity.

mrssunshinexxx · 18/08/2019 21:34

@tryingforbabyone your post made me well up. It's so raw and real and HARD! To accept every month it doesn't happen.

How long have you been trying ?

Take care of yourself x

May2311 · 18/08/2019 20:57

@tryingforbabyone sorry to hear that😔 I’m glad you and OH enjoyed some quality time together.

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 20:49

Thank you @littlelisa34 we've had some quality time together this evening. Yes we'll wait for AF but suppose I've already had the disappointment as I'm sure it's on it's way Sad

littlelisa34 · 18/08/2019 20:17

@tryingforbabyone I'm sorry to hear that but if AF hadn't shown up you never know.. try and have a relaxing night and enjoy the film 😁

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 16:27

Went and got a frer test and had fully prepared myself that it would be a bfn but still the disappointment is heartbreaking. Both my partner and I have had a cry and going to watch a film together now. Hope everyone else is holding up!

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 09:55

@littlelisa34 yes Af due today and tend to be regular. Sometimes a couple of days late but I feel like it'll be today although the mind is a very strange thing and I feel like it could be that psychologically I know it's due today.
Oh thats interesting about the tests. Perhaps I'll go get the frer then if AF hasn't arrived today. I'm scared every time I go to the toilet just in case.
Does anyone find the worse but having to tell their OH. Every month when AF arrives I never know how to tell him, I feel like I've let him down. He is always so positive about it and really nice I just have having to say the words AF is here Sad

littlelisa34 · 18/08/2019 09:47

@tryingforbabyone no there not as sensitive the FRER are the most sensitive ones to get I've got two clear blue digital but I'd never take them until I'd had at least a few days of strong positives on a FRER

littlelisa34 · 18/08/2019 09:45

@tryingforbabyone well there good signs don't get disheartened Hun is AF due today?? If you do test don't take it aa a definite you still never know and the witch hasn't arrived so that's really good.. are you usually regular??

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 09:44

@littlelisa34 I got the Clearblue 6 days before tests are these still not as sensitive at the frer?

tryingforbabyone · 18/08/2019 09:41

@Katie1109 I'm really sorry but can't say I can see one. But don't loose hope until AF is here.

@littlelisa34 I'm already emotional this morning and AF hasn't even arrived. I've already been for 3 wees this morning and only been awake 2 hours! I normally only go that many times in a day! I've got such contradicting symptoms. My lower back has been really painful since ovulation but I feel like I've definitely got cramps this morning and yesterday. I just want to test but I'm so scared about the disappointment!

littlelisa34 · 18/08/2019 09:38

@Katie1109 sorry I don't see anything maybe it's not showing up well on the photo ☹️
