Hi ladies . I’ve just finished my period today and my husband and I are now going to start ttc our first baby after having my Mirena removed last week.
Is anyone else TTC this month ? I’ve ordered some ovulation tests after I said I wouldn’t because I’ve read so many success stories on them so I thought I might as well just so I have some in case !

I’d love for people to share their journey with me ! I’m 24, 25 in two weeks . So excited for our journey . I’m trying to figure out this whole lingo on here and stuff sorry! X

I’m 11dpo and my boyfriend and I could easily see it this morning. It’s much clearer than the photos and it has colour. We did a frer test as I’ve been told they are reliable and can test 6 days early.

JEMMA18 · 18/11/2019 11:09

@LEA84TTC wooo congrads ! I bet your over the moon! How many days past ov was you when you tested ?
Made up for you 😊

JEMMA18 · 18/11/2019 11:08

@gemgem1404 so sorry to hear you got a bfn but I'm assuming AF isnt showing any signs yet either?
Your not our yet it just may be too early to test.
My aching today with cramps. 10po. I also have a really sore left leg its like a pinching feeling in the back of my thigh. I dont know If its related but it's so damn horrible. I've got PT on the way from Amazon so I'm going to test today, not expecting a bfp tho as it will be midday and probs still to early to tell too. 🙈

Wow @lea84TTC that’s so exciting!!!! How faint is it - are you confident it’s a positive?! When will you test again?

Lea84TTC · 18/11/2019 10:51

I have faint line this morning on a FRER test, in slight disbelief x

gemgem1404 · 18/11/2019 08:59

Still got a bfn this morning ☹️. Must be just having a long cycle which is frustrating

JEMMA18 · 17/11/2019 21:15

@gemgem1404 aww maybe your not out though, try first thing and see what you get back. I have my fingers crossed for you. If AF hasn't arrived your not out just yet :)

JEMMA18 · 17/11/2019 21:13

@jonesbabynumber1 ahh I didnt know that. I'm 9dpo today so maybe I'm not out yet but I'm getting really bad cramps that have came on in the last hour almost like AF is coming early 😥 holding out that its implantation pains 🙈
It does feel like the more we want something the more it drags out doesn't it. Xx

gemgem1404 · 17/11/2019 20:39

@Jonesbabynumber1 I no right it's so difficult to relax and not over analyse every single twinge

Jonesbabynumber1 · 17/11/2019 20:34

@gemgem1404 I have found our bodies like to play mind games When we are at our most vulnerable but only time will tell

gemgem1404 · 17/11/2019 20:27

@Jonesbabynumber1 yeh I'm so confused cause my periods have been bang on with this app since February and I feeling really different this month. I'm probably just symptom spotting 😬 I'll probably test with fmu and if it's still negative hang tight for another week or until af arrives

Jonesbabynumber1 · 17/11/2019 20:00

@gemgem1404 must be hard seeing a bfn when your late and confusing but your not out until AF shows. @CurbsideProphet yes couple months for me but I was rash and thought I’d be prepared and researched and this lead me to opks and tempting.

gemgem1404 · 17/11/2019 18:50

@JEMMA18 I tested got a bfn 😞. Wasn't fmu but I'm guessing I'm out cause I'm 2 days late it should be positive by now ☹️

CurbsideProphet · 17/11/2019 17:58

Only a couple of months, so that's why I'm avoiding the urge to use OPKs just yet! I don't know how I could cope if it took another 10 years Sad

Lea84TTC · 17/11/2019 17:58

I’m now 10DPO and really don’t want to test as I don’t want a negative. My boobs hurt beyond belief but it could be my AF coming. Seem to have a lot of CM too. Slightly constipated and BT has gone up again. No idea whether I feel like I am or not 😕 x

Jonesbabynumber1 · 17/11/2019 17:43

@CurbsideProphet in my job most of the mums are older. one being 44 when she conceived so normal to feel that way but still plenty of time. How long have you been TTC?

Jonesbabynumber1 · 17/11/2019 17:39

@JEMMA18 I didn’t realise until reading that most people don’t implant until 9dpo and before 8 days is rare and it takes hours after implantation to produce enough hgc before it shows on PT. so this has helped me lower the urge to test early.

CurbsideProphet · 17/11/2019 17:34

@Jonesbabynumber1 yep I know how you feel. I'm nearly 34 so I get nervy about how much more difficult it will get if it doesn't happen this year.

JEMMA18 · 17/11/2019 17:19

@gemgem1404 omg this brain of my lol

JEMMA18 · 17/11/2019 17:19

@gemgem10404 I mean sorry 😂

JEMMA18 · 17/11/2019 17:18

@gemgem1401 yes I get nervous for a bfn too I dread looking once I've done one. But I still keep doing it to myself 😥 I know I'm testing too early but I am so impatient🙈 I spend the rest of the day after a bfn moping about feeling sorry for myself lol

Jonesbabynumber1 · 17/11/2019 14:33

@Konbanwa it’s a horrible feeling and it almost feels like the more I want it surely the more likely it will happen but obviously that’s so far from the truth. I think this will be a very hard month if I get a BFN x
