Hey everyoneSmile

Please join me on my journey of TTC baby no 1 (5 months of TTC). It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and I think a positive thread of news, updates and tips is needed!

Feel free to introduce yourselves and explain where you're all at in your journeys. Smile

@Soad23 yeah still early days. AF isn't predicted until 18th of this month so still have a while to wait before testing hahaha. And oooh, could have been implantation, but I definitely understand not testing! It's so disheartening seeing no second line isn't it. Got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

@Jurassiclover

Hi, i have my fingers and toes crossed for you! It's still very early days!
Well I was due on last Friday, thought I was out but I have the most small amount of light pink spotting on saturday and sunday, but it was only when I wiped and it's gone today.
I have zero symptoms of af or pregnancy.
So I'm really confused, I really dont want to do a test as I dont want it to be negative. Might wait a few more days.

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing?

Disappeared for a bit as I've had so many birthdays and been so busy this month.

If clue predicted OV correctly then I'm currently 3DPO and have the most painful boops and nipples and had tingly nipples. I know it's far too early for any pg symptoms as egg wouldn't have even implanted so I'm not feeling hopeful as I feel they may be symptoms of AF instead. Trying to stay positive though, AF not due for a while so we shall see.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

@MisssC3025 okay, thanks. I may consider stopping after this month if unsuccessful. We have just got to our fertile window, and I surprisingly feel so much more relaxed than I thought. It will happen when the time is right! You may have already said this way back, but how long were your cycles and which day did you ovulate? My cycle is 35 days and ovulate on day 24, would love to know if anyone else has a similar cycle and ovulation date as most people I know are the standard 28 days.

MisssC3025 · 05/10/2019 13:52

@Soad23 good luck! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@KCT93
I only used the seven seas trying to conceive for one of the months. The thought let me try without putting things into my body and 5 month I got my 1st BFP! Thanks ☺️☺️

I could imagine you feel the pressure, but stress/worry won't help. Relax and enjoy the time of TTC! Tbh our 5 month we DTD every day during Fertile window whereas on other months sometimes we missed days and were too tired, but in Sept we thought let's just try every day and it worked for us! It was tiring don't get me wrong but totally worth it XX all the best

@MisssC3025 thank you for the warm welcome Grin. Did you take Seven Seas for the whole 5 months or did you try anything else? I read from the beginning of this thread and was made up for you when I saw your BFP! I know, I am trying to relax but I'm finding it so hard! 3 of my friends are pregnant and it just adds so much pressure! Thank you, will do! I hope you are doing well Smile

Soad23 · 04/10/2019 06:57

Morning, I havent tested this morning cause I'm certain af is on her way. If she hasn't arrived by sunday I will test, but I dont think I will get to then

@KCT93 hey and welcome! I'm glad you felt like you could introduce yourself in this thread ☺️☺️

All the best for TTC! I started taking Seven Seas whilst TTC! However it took us 5months! As wonderful as getting a BFP for your parents bday it could take longer than 2months so don't worry yourself if it doesn't happen yet. For some people it takes 2yrs! I really hope it happens soon for you but relax and enjoy it ! Let me know how the lubricant works for you!

Hi All, this is out of my comfort zone as I usually keep myself to myself, but as this thread seems to have brought so much luck, I thought I would join in. This is our 2nd month TTC. Last month I used clear blue fertility tracker - cycle is 35 days and OV on day 23. Have been taking seven seas trying to conceive and DTD every day in fertile window, but no luck! Still using clear blue tracker and taking seven seas but this month we are going to use Pre-Seed Lubricant and DH is taking Wellman for conception. I am only on cycle day 14 so a little wait until OV. Really hoping this is our month as AF is due 25th Oct, the day after my mum and dad's birthday - so if it was a BFP, what a great birthday present it would be!

Soad23 · 03/10/2019 09:19

@Tbug oh that sucks!

Tbug · 03/10/2019 09:00

AF came this morning :( :(

Rinoa · 03/10/2019 07:07

@MisssC3025 according to NHS I'm 4 weeks ! Yea I'll call them today I think. I'm sure I just need to slow down but I'd rather them tell me lol

Do you get period like cramps/pains? That's what I feel

MisssC3025 · 02/10/2019 21:49

@Rinoa ah! I have those types of pains too !! I think it's normal but who knows what's normal or not lol. I have no idea who you'd call! I reckon if you call the dr they'd be able to direct you! Have you worked out how many weeks you are ?? Xx

OP posts:
Rinoa · 02/10/2019 20:11

Hey! I've been good thanks. Still have period like dull cramps here and there. Definitely feel it today. Not sure if it's normal I might give the GP a call, is that even the right people to call or should I call the fertility clinic ? Lol I'm paranoid as u can see. Trying to take it easy but I forget lol I'm also more tired these days. No MW appointment yet.

Hope you're well!

Soad23 · 02/10/2019 18:17

@Jurassiclover she did thanks! Honestly I feel so crap, so I'm sure I'm getting ill.
I had the smallest amount of light pink cm earlier when I wiped. (Sorry tmi) that's stopped now, I feel like it's to late to have implantation bleed now.

@Tbug fingers crossed for you!

MisssC3025 · 02/10/2019 17:45

@Tbug this sounds promising!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Rinoa how you doing?? Xx

MisssC3025 · 02/10/2019 17:43

Hi ladies have everything crossed for those of you testing in the next few days/weeks! Let's keep the lucky positive thread going!!!

@Jurassiclover thanks for your message been so busy this week! I'm doing well thanks. My boobs are constantly sore and I have a little bit of gas haha (tmi) but other than that I've been fine. I cramp every now and then but nothing that painful! I'm just waiting for the next few weeks to spring new symptoms !!

Have 1st MW app 11/10 so we're so excited for that as it'll feel very real then!

How are you getting on? Xx

Tbug · 02/10/2019 16:00

I was due AF yesterday so gunna wait a few more days!

Jurassiclover · 02/10/2019 15:04

@MisssC3025 how are you OP? Hope all is well!

Jurassiclover · 02/10/2019 15:03

@Soad23 thank you! I really hope this month is my month🤞
Oh happy birthday to your DD for yesterday! Hope she had a lovely day!
Got my fingers crossed for you for Friday! Keep us updated!🤞

Jurassiclover · 02/10/2019 15:02

@MrsLEB oh bless you! I can relate to the forgetfulness 100% haha. Got my fingers crossed for you that it was just too early at the minute and that it was implantation for you! Keep us updated!🤞

Soad23 · 02/10/2019 13:35

@Jurassiclover
Hey I have my fingers crossed for you!
No I haven't retested. It was my dd birthday yesterday and I didn't really think about it. But today I feel dreadful, I feel sick, keep getting a weird pain in my upper inner thigh. Monday I kept getting weird stabbing pains on my right side. I'm absolutely exhausted and have had a headache since last week.
I'm gunna wait it out till Friday though.

MrsLEB · 02/10/2019 13:31

@Jurassiclover I retested yesterday with ICs and thought I saw a shadow but tested again this morning and had nothing. Yesterday evening I had sore pulling feelings, intermittent lower back ache and flatulence (tmi) and today I have a full, heavy feeling uterus (almost making me feel as though I need a wee but don't) and it's not accompanied by usual af cramps and I have a runny nose. I'm hoping and praying last night could have been implantation so hasn't had time to show on a test yet. I went to McDonald's drive through this morning and after I ordered realised I'd forgot my card so had to leave it! Then, forgetting what happened a few hours earlier went to Sainsbury's to buy a more legitimate PG test on my lunch, only to recall I had NO CARD so had to leave it on the self check out and ask the assistant to cancel it 😳 fml

Jurassiclover · 02/10/2019 13:20

@Soad23 @MrsLEB hey, have either of you retested yet? Crossing my fingers for you 🤞🤞🤞

I've had a fair amount of EWCM so I think my app was about right with my fertile period prediction! OV is predicted on DPs birthday 😂 I'm sure he'll be happy 😂
