TTC baby #1

Hi all

Currently in our second cycle of TTC after stopping the pill.

AF is due either tomorrow or Monday. I usually never have sore breasts but have had breast pain and extreme fatigue all week. Also have had back pain and dull cramps down there. I took an IC this morning and the result was negative.

Really hoping that AF stays away and I get a BFP.

Well I'm on cd24 and my boobs are feeling sore and swollen, plus I've been having nausea and headaches for the past few days.

So I relented and took a test this morning and it was a BFN. I knew it would be because I was travelling for work around my ovulation date so I think we missed catching the egg this cycle.

Oh well! Now I just need to wait for AF to show up and promise myself that I will only test again if AF is late!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Im 25

Me and my husband havent used protection for 3 years. I have been diagnosed with PCOS. Nothing has happened

We are now trying to conceive, not sure how to track everything and what im looking for. Feel like this is a mine field

I’m so sorry to hear that @Lea84TTC

How are you doing?

Isn't it just. All the years of worrying about getting pregnant and now I'm ttc it's not quite as simple as having sex

Keep the test as you have something to compare it to when you do test again. From now on I won’t be testing until after AF is due. I had only been trying 2 cycles, TTC is hard on us all emotionally . Good luck though. Xx

I've been debating throwing away the test before DH gets home, as otherwise we might both umm and ahh over whether we can see a faint line all weekend. Caution is definitely the best way to go. I don't want to get both of our hopes up, especially as we've only been trying properly for one month.

I don’t want to put a downer on how you are feeling and completely get why you tested early it’s hard to wait. I’m sure things will be different for you but just be cautious. I think the experience has taught me to be kinder to myself and chill out a bit. We just all want this so desperately xx

Thank you @LEA84TTC that's sensible advice. AF isn't due until Monday, so I think I'll wait now until next week. I only tested today because I feel so nauseous, but if I'm thinking sensibly that is likely because I'm migrainey and very under the weather.
Hope you're ok

Just be careful with early testing, I’ve unfortunately learnt the hard way. It must get darker every 48 hours until it’s really dark. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have sticky baby dust x

I'm CD 22 as well. I feel rough, but my family have all had a terrible virus and it could be that. Or a migraine. I read that tests can change over a few hours due to the chemicals bleeding and show a line just from the chemical reaction, or something. I won't show DH if it does that, as it would be too confusing. I've got another 4 hours to ponder until he's home.

@CurbsideProphet Eeeeeep! That is so exciting! Let us know when you test again and hopefully the line will be stronger! 🤞

I'm trying not to symptom spot too much at the moment but I am on cd22 and I'm feeling really nauseous and have v sore boobs!

Must resist testing too early!

I cracked and did a first response. I feel like there might be a very very faint line, but that might just be my eyes. I took a photo but the faint line doesn't show.
Is there a risk of evaporation line if I leave it until DH is home? I might just wait and try again closer to Monday, which is when AF is due.

I feel really ill today - nauseous, v bad headache, bit of an upset tummy, bit faint. I should be on a train to a meeting 40 miles away but I physically couldn't drive to the station. I'm unsure whether to test today just in case, as I've been up nearly 3 hours and it wouldn't be my first wee of the day?

So sorry @Lea84TTC

Thanks @Itsemily @gemgem1404 - got the smiley face on clearblue this morning. First time any OPK has given me a positive! Here's hoping 🤞🏻 hope you're both well x

@Lea84TTC I'm so sorry it didn't stick this time 

@Hannahb26 looks like EWCM to me id say you should be ovulating very soon!!

Thanks @gemgem1404 and @Tiamo04 this is what I have - sorry if it's TMI! Anyone else too - sorry and what do you think?

Oh @Lea84TTC I'm so so sorry. Sending love to you and your other half x

Unfortunately this pregnancy didn’t end well. Started having a miscarriage Monday...... it’s been a tough week all round. 😢😢😢😢

@Hannahb26 I don't mind. Also I think the EWCM comes in the run up to the LH surge so you're probably about to get your peak 😊

@hannahb26 don't think anyone would have a problem unfortunately
I can't help as I don't get the CM that everyone talks about during ovulation :( *

@curbsideprophet yea I'd test seeing as a normal massage isn't good when you're pregnant... keep me posted on how it goes :) sprinkling tons of baby dust your way xx*
