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

How is everyone getting on?

littlelisa34 · 25/09/2019 08:49

@Hewie30 sorry to hear that hun but if AF hasn't arrived yet maybe your still in the race.. was the FRER with FMU?? I'm doing okay still waiting for AF or ovulation but I think AF will arrive before I ovulate, I'm hoping one of them arrives soon xx

tryingforbabyone · 24/09/2019 20:38

@Hewie30 oh no bless you so sorry to hear that! Sad

Hewie30 · 24/09/2019 10:41

@Littlelisa34 hey Hun! How you doing? Unfortunately I did a first response and the lines faded so I think I'm having another chemical 😔. On cd 38 and never had a cycle this month, max it's been is 35 so if it's not here by Thursday I'll test again

littlelisa34 · 24/09/2019 10:32

@MummaR92 congratulations hun so pleased for you...

@Hewie30 try be positive hun spotting in the early days is completely normal try not to worry.. and a positive is a positive hun so that's brilliant news, it's been a few days since you posted this so hope your doing okay Hun 😁xx

MummaR92 · 22/09/2019 16:23

@Hewie30 thank you hun 😁

Hewie30 · 22/09/2019 16:18

@LittleLisa34 I'm okay, a bit nervous at the moment! AF is late and I've had 4 faints on a pregnancy test but I've had pink spotting today so hoping it's not a chemical!

@mummar92 congratulations hun that's amazing news!!

MummaR92 · 22/09/2019 13:36

@tryingforbabyone 3rd cycle and no just making sure we were doing the deed on the right days

tryingforbabyone · 22/09/2019 13:21

@tryingforbabyone sorry to hear AF has arrived hun hope your feeling okay I know it's difficult but you will get that BFP I'm sure.. I'm doing okay had my last lot of blood tests done on Monday and my hcg was down to 20 so I'm hoping another week and it'll all be gone and then we can get back to TTC although I'm not sure how my cycle will be now, done a lot of researching but haven't found anything definitive.. hospital told me to wait 8 weeks but the consultant told me I could try as soon as I wanted so I'm going more towards his advice.. been using opks last three days had one low and two flashing smiley faces but I'm not sure if they are picking up hcg so I'm not really sure what is going on.. xx

@Hewie30 how are you getting on? Xx

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 14:18

@nicsfh Course you can join 😊. I've heard good things about pressed! Where abouts are you in your cycle at the moment?

@tryingforbabyone I'm sorry hun, it's gutting isn't it 😔. Spoil yourself with chocolate and making yourself feel better then get your energy up for your next cycle, hopefully the next one will be it 🤞

@Littlelisa34 Any update hun?

tryingforbabyone · 16/09/2019 08:31

And the so it continues. Bring on cycle 7. 😔

Nicsfh · 11/09/2019 23:09

Hi, hope it’s ok to join in your chat. Me and my OH got married in June and have been trying since then. No luck so far but going to buy an ovulation kit this week and also heard about Pre seed which I might try too. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone xx

Hewie30 · 10/09/2019 20:43

@tryingforbabyone Awh really? That's a good mindset to have I think because it lets you go and live your life and not countdown your fertile window, then countdown your Dpo and symptom watch etc!xx

tryingforbabyone · 10/09/2019 19:48

@Hewie30 we are on cycle 6 now. I don't know what's changed this month but I just feel like my whole mindset has. I've almost accepted its bit going to be something that happens easily for us and that it won't be for a long time so I need to live my life. Normally I'm obsessively thinking about it and thinking about symptoms but I'm just not this month. I never realised how hard it would all be mentally.

Hewie30 · 10/09/2019 07:47

@tryingforbabyone You never know this could be your month but I know how you feel it's really hard being disappointed when AF arrives, it's a great idea to take time for yourself as a couple and enjoy your time together just you too without making TTC a chore. What cycle are you on? Australia will be amazzzzzing I've always wanted to go xx

tryingforbabyone · 09/09/2019 18:40

@Hewie30 I'm 5 dpo now but not feeling very positive and almost already convinced myself that this isn't the month. My OH and I have decided to focus on planning to go travelling to Australia next summer holidays to try and take our mind off things and kind of accept that now isn't our time. We aren't going to start using protection but we are going to just BD when we feel like it and then if it happens then it happens but it was really not doing me any good mentally being disappointed all the time.

Hewie30 · 09/09/2019 17:21

@littlelisa34 oh Hun I'm sorry to hear your going through this. It must be a upsetting and stressful time while your waiting for answers. It's great you've stopped bleeding, are they doing your bloods again Friday? Xx

@tryingforbabyone Hey Hun! I'm 3dpo today, I got my peak on a opk on Thursday so thinking I ovulated Saturday. I haven't been able to do any the weekend. How you getting on? Xx

littlelisa34 · 09/09/2019 08:51

@tryingforbabyone hi had the second blood tests done my hcg has gone down to 195 so I have to go back Friday for more blood tests and then a scan to make sure everything is clear.. the bleeding has tapered off now nowhere near as heavy as it has been so hopefully that's a good sign that everything is okay. I'm feeling okay it was absolute shock at first but I've come to terms with it more now. Hope your doing well in your TWW 😁 good news at the end I'm hoping 😁xx

tryingforbabyone · 08/09/2019 08:22

@littlelisa34 have you had any more answers yet? How are you feeling?

@Hewie30 @MummaR92 how many dpo are you both now? How are you feeling in the tww 🙄?
