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

Hi @May2311, I used a cheap test from amazon. I had no IB, but hoping I'm one of those women who doesn't get them :(. I always have sore boobs before AF, but this time they started to be sore much earlier and no I don't usually feel nauseous.
I'm not too hopeful though :(

May2311 · 16/08/2019 07:26

@Katie1109 what test did you use? I have heard that sometimes it takes a bit longer for BFP to show if you implant late. Not very good advice but I think all you can do is wait to see if AF arrives and if not test again in a few days 😣

Do you usually have sore boobs & sickness when your due AF?

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi ladies,
BFN for me this morning with FMU. 14 DPO. According to mumsnet calendar af should arrive today, but my Flo app shows tomorrow. AF is always with me first thing when I wake up though. Boobs are still extremely sore and woke up with a bit of nusea :(

Ginfizz90 · 15/08/2019 19:55

All sounds positive to me!! Make sure you update us. Xxx

tryingforbabyone · 15/08/2019 19:47

@Ginfizz90 I had a weird warm sensation in my tummy 5dpo and then tingling in my boobs 6dpo. This was followed by lower back ache and very mild cramps/dull ache and sore boobs. My boobs are still tender now but worse when I'm wearing a bra and today I've had really bad stomach ache but I don't think that's even a symptom so that must be due to something else I guess. I think all of this may have been me having too much time to think as I'm on summer holidays though and not feeling very positive. Due AF on Sunday so might wait until Monday/ Tuesday to test if I get that far.

Katie1109 · 15/08/2019 19:35

Thank you everyone. I have used cheap test from amazon. My boobs are always sore before af but don’t remember ever feeling this tired. Sitting at home now and feeling some tingling and minor cramps so it will probably be my af. It may sound strange but I also feel weirdly wet down there and have no idea what that means. I had no IB at all, but not everyone gets them right? Or am I just being naive?

Ginfizz90 · 15/08/2019 19:27

Hi @tryingforbabyone how are you doing?

I used clear blue advanced digital ovulation tests and first response pregnancy tests and a clear blue. I did have the IC too which I did first, the line was barely visible but very obvious on the first response.

MummaR92 · 15/08/2019 17:44

I will do @May2311!

Hi @Katie1109 fingers crossed for you hun! X

May2311 · 15/08/2019 17:36

@MummaR92 sounds promising! Keep us updated with any other signs!!

@Katie1109 welcome! Signs seem promising. Do you usually get any symptoms before AF or is this the first time? Still early. I would give it till Sunday or Saturday if you can’t wait and if AF hasn’t arrived try a sensitive test. 😊

littlelisa34 · 15/08/2019 16:33

Hi @Katie1109 I'm due AF Friday/Saturday too.. I'm 12dpo today.. BFN are the worst thing to get, did you use a sensitive test?? Still early days yet 😀

Katie1109 · 15/08/2019 15:43

Hi all,
I'm a newbie.
Af due this Friday/Saturday. I had 2 bfn's today. It's my 3rd cycle TTC for our first baby.
Feeling ridiculously tired and my boobs started to ache at about 6DPO, 8-9DPO I had terrible heartburn which I never suffer from. I'm 13DPO today. Somehow do not feel very hopeful though :(

MummaR92 · 15/08/2019 14:45

@tryingforbabyone thank you 😊. How is everyone getting on?

tryingforbabyone · 15/08/2019 14:35

@MummaR92 oh hopefully! Fingers crossed for you!

MummaR92 · 15/08/2019 13:31

Ok so today I've had like a pinching pain on one side of my tummy. I'm currently 8dpo so I'm hoping this is a good sign!!

tryingforbabyone · 14/08/2019 16:46

@Ginfizz90 how you getting on? What tests did you use?

littlelisa34 · 14/08/2019 12:33

@tryingforbabyone no I'm the same don't usually get to be "late" apart from when I was taking pregnacare so I don't usually have to worry about testing!! Milky white CM is a good sign though 😀

@MummaR92 I would class this as your second cycle!! This is my fifth cycle and I'm 11dpo today not had much today apart from woke up with cramps but they didn't last too long..

tryingforbabyone · 14/08/2019 09:49

@May2311 I know exactly what you mean!

May2311 · 14/08/2019 09:47

@tryingforbabyone I know but I just hope it isn’t my mind playing tricks on me.

tryingforbabyone · 14/08/2019 08:52

@May2311 that's still promising signs though! So fingers crossed!

May2311 · 14/08/2019 08:20

I was determined not to symptom spot this month🙄 I thought it would stop me obsessing.

Approx 3dpo and already I have cramps in lower abdomen, emotional and feeling rough in general- my mind pops up “ this is it, your pregnant” 😂 Obviously the rationale side of me knows it’s far too early....

tryingforbabyone · 13/08/2019 22:54

@mrssunshinexxx yes apparently it's supposed to be but I'm not sure because I'm sure I do often get it too Confused

mrssunshinexxx · 13/08/2019 21:51

@tryingforbabyone I've had molly discharge for past few days too is that meant to be a good sign ? I think to be honest thinking about it I get it often x

May2311 · 13/08/2019 21:32

@MummaR92 I’m not due till 24th- I’ll test then if AF doesn’t arrive but I’m not feeling hopeful this month.

I tend not to test early as when I first came off the pill and was waiting for first AF to arrive I kept thinking “am I pregnant” doing a test and it was awful seeing the negative even though I knew it was unlikely! Plus it helps me save money on tests- I have 4 FRErs in ready for when I’m late and hopefully the first one I need to use it will be a BFP! Xxx

tryingforbabyone · 13/08/2019 21:16

@littlelisa34 yeah I've had milky white CF last couple of days but can't work out if that's normal for me tbh. I do feel different this month but not sure f it's more in my head. I'm going to test on Tuesday if I get that far. I never test early or get that far usually so fingers crossed!

MummaR92 · 13/08/2019 20:33

@mrssunshinexxx I'm just way too impatient lol! I think the symptom spotting is driving me more mad than anything else right now! I just wish it wasn't similar symptoms to AF! X
