Too many threads and looking for friends to go through the TTC journey

Do these look like a positive result? I did them on the 28th and 29th January and on 301st did a test line had completely disappeared. We DTD on both them dates, the day after and also the day before so I'm hoping they are positives..I have to wait now and see

@Lucy5546 YES!! That's awesome! Congratulations!! What a great birthday present :-)

@MrsH0692 That's exactly why I am using OPKs-- because the app fertility data applies to the 'average' cycle and most women's ovaries seem not to be so precise.

FINALLY got a positive OPK today, I really wasn’t sure on my cycle, lucky I carried on testing as I could have missed my chance had I only DTD when my dates suggested ovulation! So definetley know we have DTD when needed and have done everything we can this month. This is my first month of using the OPK strips have just used my app since starting TTC.

Hello ladies, I'm realky glad to be here. Hubby and I have been TTC since July and I tell you it has been tough. From lovemaking that feels like a routine to using tons of HPT.
AF is currently one day late, I took a HPT today and got a BFN. Fingers crossed, I am still very hopeful; its all that's keeping me right now... HOPE!

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

@MimiArm welcome! It’s really hard to not obsess when TTC!

@MrsH0692 I’m also keeping my fingers crossed for this month! We’ve been trying since August and I’m so ready for it to happen now. I’m on CD6 and just coming to the end of my period. Think we’re also going to try the SMEP this month (as some other posters have mentioned) which means starting to BD from Sunday. I’m going away next weekend for 2 nights with friends so I’m really hoping that I ovulate early this month! I’m the same with CM - I don’t notice a huge difference throughout the month and I’m worried that I don’t produce enough EWCM as it’s definitely not as stretchy and as much as the books/google suggests it should be! But fingers crossed for you lovely. Hope it happens for you (and all of us!) soon.

Hey guys.

Sorry for not posting, Christmas and new year took over. Tried to forget about TTC to be honest and enjoy some normality.

So I’m 3 DPO according to my Flo App, have tried to use OPK this month, but not been successful with knowing my actual day of ovulation. So have just DTD every other day in the hope we haven’t missed it. I’ve tried to track CM but I’m not overly sure what I’m looking for, I’ve tried googling a few things.

Really hoping this is our month ❤️

How is everyone getting on? Xx

Hi, I'd like to join in please! TTC baby #1 and I'm 38 (fiancé is 36).

I came off mini-pill on 6 December and have had no AF. Bought the CB OPK test and have had 6 days of flashing smiley faces now (so annoying!).

It's weird - I've had really sore boobs on and off the past two weeks, lots of clear CM, sore lower back, tummy cramps and shooting pains, crying spells and a few queasy spells. Done a few tests and BFNs. Any other time I've came off minipill I bleed within a week or so. Also, when I've had sore boobs in the past, they would only have eased up on the day when AF arrived. Yesterday, boobs ached but today not sore at all.

No sign of AF coming and I've no idea when ovulation was/will be so we have been Dtd every other day since I came off mini pill!

I'm also obsessing constantly! 😊

@Lucy5546 amazing! Congratulations! Happy birthday 🥳

@lucy5546 That’s wonderful and gives hope to us all! Considering how strong your line is, I would be surprised if it didn’t show up on a digital!

@lunasunshine thank you. Yea i wasnt expecting it. I wonder if its too early for a clear blue digital? No not long at all. I only came off the pill the end of September

Congratulations!! What amazing news

@lucy5546 congratulations!! That’s a very strong line 😊 What a birthday present 🎁

Had you been trying for long?

Ok so i decided to test as ill be going out for birthday drinks. This showed up almost instantly. Im just so shocked

@myttcjourney well I shall keep you posted and vise Versa

@shaunab16 yes they are meant to be the most sensitive so will show up the earliest xx

@myttcjourney Yeee I will TRY and do the same haha although I have just bought some first response tests... Has anyone tried them?

@shaunab16 I'm going to try and hold out until AF is due. I think early testing is too stressful.. although I will probably cave 🤣 I think 12dpo is ok xx

@myttcjourney fingers crossed indeed I really don't know. I'm too quick to test especially if I have any signs but I need to stop torturing myself. The past 2 days my uterus and lower back are s really aching... I know it's way too soon but I only usually get this a few days before AF.

@EithneBlue @peachypetite Thank you - I will try them both and see what I prefer

@shaunab16 fingers crossed, when are you going to test CC

Thanks ladies.!! I will be back on as soon as i test.!!

Happy Birthday Lucy!

I am definitely going to do that moving forward, if AF is x days late (maybe 3?) then do a test.

@Lucy5546 Happy Birthday!! Monday sounds like a reasonable day to test -- Enjoy the weekend in the meantime :-)

@EithneBlue yea i dont either usually. This month i have just felt a bit low and have taken literally everything at face value. Im felling better now though!! Yes i was thinking of doing that. So i think i will test at some point over the weekend. Its my birthday though and i dont wanna be disappointed.!! Might hold off until monday!!
