Testing 19/01 onwards

@FromTheMist couldn't read your post and not reply. Hi, I'm so sorry for your miscarriage.. you're not alone, I'm now TTC after a missed miscarriage in October. Sending you so much love and hand-hold. I feel we're both so brave for starting this journey again and I'm pleased to hear your periods are now back. Be kind to yourself, thinking of you x

@caithnini thank you lovely, wishing you luck too x

@Mp0304 hi OP, I'm doing ok thanks, how are you? Said I wouldn't symptom spot but have just spent the better part of an hour on fertility friend tracking my symptoms haha.. the crazy in me has begun. I'm pretty certain I'm out this month though as I don't feel strange like I did in my last pregnancy (ended in miscarriage) but we shall see. How are you doing? Sounds like you DTD at the right times! x

Hi ladies, can I join you all please?

AF due 22nd, so trying to hold off testing until the 19th (would rather do it at the weekend!).

Started trying last May and caught first time, but ended in mmc at 12 weeks. Took months to get my period back and now on 3rd cycle trying again. It's my last chance to get pregnant again before my original due date so here's hoping 🤞

Good luck to you all ladies xx

Hi all, also tentatively joining the thread... I’m currently 6DPO (apparently), but CD35. First cycle seriously TTC, but have followed my cycles a while - and typically this time I ovulated a week later than usual! Trying to wait until the 18th to test, fingers crossed there’s some BFPs in the thread!!

@Dollywantsareallifedolly I think the tactic of finding out what non-pregnancy thing could cause the symptoms is a good one! I’m symptom spotting already (TMI but the other night I woke up from some awful night sweats for the first time ever), but trying the same thing as you suggest. Not that it’s stopping me getting carried away...

Welcome ladies 😁 I had twinges throughout the night last night but trying a different approach this month (thinking of other things instead of pregnancy to explain my symptoms) to avoid disappointment this month. Think I am out already though at the twinges are similar to what I have last month before my AF.

Going to wait until my AF is late before testing I think 🙈 The 19th still seems so long away!!

Can I join to? Period due 19th. Second cycle TTC, was convinced last month I was pregnant but must have all been in my head! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for everyone this month! Xx

Thanks @mp0304 ! I am 3 cycles in but this is the first month we have really tried. This will be my second child (hopefully) but I can't remember any symptoms at all from the first time around 🙄!! Had some stabbing type twinges today ... You had anything? Is this your first? X

Can I join too! It’s our first cycle trying and I have already gone crazy! I have read so many Mumsnet threads on early symptoms! I have already convinced myself that I had implantation pains; morning sickness; sore boobs... I am sure it is all in my head. I even did a pregnancy test a few days ago even though it would have only been 3dpo .... what was I thinking... obviously it’s was a BFN. AF due on 19th. Got a first response ready to go but going to wait for as long as possible. Are you guys going to test early next week or wait until AF is due?

Can I join?! Period due 22nd and so I was going to test on the 18th ... 🤞🤞🤞🤞 For us all! Xxxx

Hello!

I will be testing weekend of 18th/19th, currently 5dpo. I did get pregnant on our first cycle in July but miscarried early September and this is our first try again since as I wanted to let my body go back to normal.
Last time I had a few distinct symptoms in the week leading up to my test date but it's too early just yet...the only things I've noticed so far are my heart rate has increased by about 10bpm and my cat is being unusually clingy 😂 Think I'm being optimistic it will happen first time again though! Plus I found out last time I have a heart shaped uterus which can be a worry...so we'll see!
Good luck to us all!

I have a couple of first response and those CB how many weeks. Unlike most though I am always so afraid to test so usually wait until AF shows. I work with radiation though so sometimes it is really worrying. Had to test last month because I would be doing some tasks which would cause me to receive a high dose (of course BFN). I just hate the heartbreak of no second line

@BeccaE yes you are right! Hopefully at least one of us will be successful !

@chlo04 we dtd everytime we see each other! We both have high sex drives but don't currently live together. We've been trying for 19 months and I've had 3 (maybe 4 but I refused to test again) since May last year. It's so frustrating..

@chlo04 I’ve gone mad and have a stash of first response, clear blue and cheap amazon strips all ready to go. But planning on using the first response every other morning until either AF shows up of I get a positive.

Statistically there’s enough on this thread that at least one of us should be lucky!

@Dollywantsareallifedolly @BeccaE

Thank you ladies!

Ahh fingers crossed this is all of our months. Wouldn't it be lovely !

I wish we could be a little more relaxed about it but I guess we just have to keep doing bloody ovulation tests because I need to know when I'm ovulating to take my pills.

What tests are you all planning on using to test? I plan on getting some first response x

@Dollywantsareallifedolly nope, no symptoms at all. I’m tired but then who isn’t? Thought I felt a bit sick this morning but I’m sure it’s wishful thinking as it’s too early.

@chlo04 we have been DTD every day but that’s just because (a) it’s our first cycle so we are over excited and (b) my cycles are a bit irregular so I’m never really confident when I’m ovulating - we definitely wont be able to stick to every day long term though, it’s already becoming a bit of a chore!

@chlo04 I am sorry to hear about your loss and ectopic let's hope going forward things are better for you.
This month I ditched the OPKs and we were DTD every 2-3days, whenever it felt right. Think it too some of the pressure off and helped everything seem less robotic. I think my DH was much more relaxed this month also which can only be a good thing for his swimmers (fingers crossed).

Currently I have had no symptoms whatsoever, except a couple of sore boobs days which is normal for me. Trying not to symptom spot this month as last couple of months my body really fooled me and led to disappointment. Any symptoms for any of you ladies?

Also how many times have you all dtd?

I'm abit worried as we didn't do the deed to much this month, we just are really feeling the pressure!

Hiyah everyone,

Please can I join?

My TTC journey has been all abit crazy. I've had 3 misscarriages and a ectopic pregnancy resulting in my tube being removed. Had testing through a private clinic and now I am on a treatment plan.

I'm just finding that I'm not falling pregnant now. been a long old journey and starting to get used to the idea of just seeing a negative test every month!

I'm due to test on the 18th - 19th is this month as per my plan ( I'll be 10dpo) this is when my doctor advises I test as I've tracked ovulation for a good couple of years now.

I'm hoping the new year is going to bring me some sort of new luck and a little miracle!

I'm aiming to test on the 20th but given it's the weekend I'd be surprised if I managed to stop myself testing on the 19th.

Good luck everyone! x

Think I will jump in too, I am due to test on 19th also but my cycles have fooled me that last couple of months (was always 28 days - now ranging from 25-29).

You are right @Mp0304 ttc can be a very lonely place, we didn't tell anyone we were ttc at first but then after a very emotional month I told my best friend and she has been my rock! My DH is very supportive but I guess their support is limited as a man. @caithnini I am afraid I am unable to give any advise on staying calm though as I am currently peak crazy (after 5 months ttc) The only think that takes my mind off of it is busy days at work really. I am so sorry to hear of your past experience . I wish you all the best on your ttc journey, you deserve happiness!

Fingers crossed for everyone!

My AF is due on 22nd, no doubt I'll test early though!! 😂 19 cycles ttc. It feels like the tww is longer each time!!
