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

Hi there ! I'm so glad I found you ladies again x
@Hewie30 how are you hun? x I am so glad you had your scan and feeling more positive now x how are you feeling in general? x
I'm 5DPO today and already symptom spotting - stupid I know, but I felt nauseous this morning, literally trying to keep my breakfast down x but I know it's way too early. My af is meant to show 11/12 of Dec. I had a peak on 26.11 so O day likely 27th x We DTD 3 days before, 2 days before, 1 day before and missed the O day due to family drama, but managed to DTD again day after so fingers crossed for Christmas BFP x

@tryingforbabyone I'm good thanks Hun, how are you? Xx

tryingforbabyone · 30/11/2019 20:33

@Hewie30 how is everything?

@littlelisa34 how are you doing?

littlelisa34 · 21/11/2019 08:09

@imnewtothis I'm on cycle nine now with a miscarriage at 6 weeks and 6 days a couple of month back so I know how you feel Hun. I use clearblue digital opks aswell as a couple of apps every month, I like the reassurance I get from using the opks but sometimes I think they add a little more stress than is needed.. your quite a few years younger than me Hun so I'm sure you will catch on in no time, I know it's not all about age but you have that on your side which is a good thing hun 😁xx

littlelisa34 · 21/11/2019 08:05

@Hewie30 aw I'm so pleased hun and you got to see the little heartbeat which must of been so reassuring.. I'm really glad it went well, try and relax now and enjoy it 😁😁xx

imnewtothis · 19/11/2019 18:50

Thanks for the welcome @littlelisa34 fingers crossed! Where are you in your journey?

Hewie30 · 19/11/2019 18:13

@littlelisa34 I went for my scan today and everything was okay ❤️, definatly regret googling just going to remain positive from now on! I saw the little jellybean and a little heartbeat 😍

littlelisa34 · 19/11/2019 13:55

@imnewtothis welcome Hun 😁 sorry to hear about your miscarriage it's a horrible time.. there's only a few of us actually chatting on this one but we all seem to have different insights into TTC. Fingers crossed this is your lucky month 🤞xx

imnewtothis · 19/11/2019 08:54

Good morning everyone, please can I join...
I'm 23 on cycle 6, cycle day 13 trying SMEP but not using OPK's this month just using my apps.

Had an early miscarriage in june at 7 weeks, hoping this is a positive thread, congratulations on the positives xxx

littlelisa34 · 19/11/2019 07:31

@Hewie30 everything will be prefect hun I'm positive especially with all the symptoms that's such a good sign 😁 you won't be back at step one... and NO MORE GOOGLING!!!!! xx

Hewie30 · 18/11/2019 11:32

@tryingforbabyone Thank you! Yeah that'd a good idea, I feel it's better to get these checked now rather then later incase there is a imbalance somewhere. But I'm sure there's not 😊. Hopefully this month will be your month! You just need the right mix as the girls would say to me 🤣.

@littlelisa34 Thank you hun ❤️, fingers crossed everything is okay. I feel so nervous! But I've got symptoms glaore at the moment so I'm hoping that means something. I'll be devestated to be back to step number one again! I made the mistake of googling too which wasn't my smoothest move! X

littlelisa34 · 18/11/2019 09:37

@Hewie30 just read about the bleeding, hope your okay Hun good that you haven't had any for over week.. good luck at epu tomorrow fingers crossed everything will be all well hun and fine and a healthy little bean 😁😁xx

tryingforbabyone · 17/11/2019 15:20

@Hewie30 oh yes everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 I'm sure everything will be progressing fine and you'll have a happy healthy baby I no time! Yes just go and get the all clear that everything is okay and there is no reason why it is taking so long other than needing to be patient (well that's what I hope they say anyway)

Hewie30 · 17/11/2019 15:08

@tryingforbabyone Yeah it really was I thought I was having a miscarriage but I haven't bled for a week now and I've had no cramps etc so hopefully it's good news on Tuesday that it's progressing well 🤞🤞. I'd have the thought of being back at square one!
Fingers crossed this is your month Hun 🤞. What do you want to check? Your hormones?

tryingforbabyone · 17/11/2019 14:31

@Hewie30 oh bless you that must have been worrying but so glad everything is okay! So have you already been able to see baby on a scan? Hopefully the sickness stays away and the nausea improves! I'm okay thank you onto cycle 10 now and going to be booking doctors appointments soon to get everything checked.

Hewie30 · 17/11/2019 12:31

@tryingforbabyone The sickness has struck!! Past few days feeling so nasuea's but thankfully no vomiting!
Last weekend I had some bleeding so I had to go to EPU for a scan, they said everything was normal and it was likely implantation but I've got to go back again this Tuesday just to check the pregnancy is progressing right. How you doing? Xx

tryingforbabyone · 17/11/2019 12:12

@Hewie30 how are you feeling? Not long now until your scan! I bet you're so excited! 😊

littlelisa34 · 13/11/2019 20:38

@tryingforbabyone yeah it definitely must be some good news sooner rather than later, I'm on cycle 9 now but it honestly feels like cycle 900... I'm definitely getting booked in don't want to wait any longer now xx

tryingforbabyone · 12/11/2019 21:43

@littlelisa34 AF did show ofc but onwards and upwards. It must be our time soon! I'm onto to cycle 10 now. What cycle are you again? I was also hoping to get myself and OH booked in as I agree it could be either or a combination so it's important to both see what you can do.

littlelisa34 · 12/11/2019 21:11

@Hewie30 I'm glad your trying to relax hun it'll help the two week go by quicker aswell if your more relaxed.. I bet you can not wait for that early scan you must be so excited. And I know hearing other stories gives you anxiety but that isn't going to be the case for you Hun, your going to go there and hear a lovely strong heartbeat and see your little sticky bean 😁♥️.. I'm just waiting for AF now to start my next cycle hopefully this one will be a good one 🙂.. cute way to tell people plus it'll be an even better surprise as some people don't know you have been trying xx

@tryingforbabyone we are both going to be seen because I want us both checked out just in case it's either one of us or a combination of both and I honestly don't want to waste anymore time to be honest so after this cycle I'm going to book an appointment.. sorry about your BFN but this is a few days ago so maybe AF didn't show, well that's what in hoping anyway.. hope your okay xx

tryingforbabyone · 09/11/2019 09:10

@Hewie30 don't know what came over me this morning and had a real urge to test so I did and again a bfn but I guess at least I'm not having to wait on tender hooks for AF to arrive and I know I'm out this month and into cycle 10.
@littlelisa34 this may sound like a silly question but are both you and your partner booking appointments to see the doctor or are you just starting with you?

tryingforbabyone · 09/11/2019 06:57

@Hewie30 only my mum and best friend know but since they've know they've actually stopped asking which is better because it's no secret that I've always wanted to become a mum.

Hewie30 · 08/11/2019 22:23

@tryingforbabyone Definitely do their nice and cheap but also surprisingly sensative! Only my best friend did but no one else. We didn't want constant questions. Have you guys told anyone your trying? X

tryingforbabyone · 08/11/2019 22:03

@Hewie30 oh that's interesting I'll have to get some of those and hopefully soon they'll give me some good news! Have people known you've been trying?

Hewie30 · 08/11/2019 21:35

@tryingforbabyone Yeah it's turned out really well and it was actually my other halves idea on how to tell them too 😂. Oh my god hun it's literally dragging SO frigging much if feels like I've known and been waiting for months already lol! Yeah it's so hard to be quiet but I definitely want to know everything is okay first! It's so anxious waiting. Thank you ❤️.
No symptoms are good honestly, I got symptoms every month and got negatives and this month I had NO symptoms and boom got my positive so you never know this could be it for you!
That's completely understandable the disappointment is awlful. Although if you were tempted b&m do clear and simple tests for 99p and their a £1 something in savers. Their sensative and came up with a line for me early at 11dpo before a frer x
