Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

Thank you, I’m trying my best to not get too carried away with being excited as it’s still very early. Yeh it’s my first baby. Smile

Littlepeas2 · 16/03/2020 19:28

@1987Nic amazing news! Congratulations!! Bet it’s going to take some time to sink in. Is this your first baby?

1987Nic · 16/03/2020 19:19

I got a very faint BFP today .Smile Hope everyone is well. X

It’s super hard, I’ve been in such pain with nipples and my boobs have definitely got fuller, it’s hard not to get excited when you can see things changing, I’ve never got these symptoms in the past. Hopefully we will both get a BFP very soon. Smile

I know what you mean @1987Nic you pick up on all the tiny things and add them together and convince yourself 🤦🏼‍♀️ it is hard not to do that tho.

1987Nic · 14/03/2020 11:37

Really feel like this at the moment, I’ve totally got my hopes up and felt like I’ve had a few symptoms. Now I feel like I’m losing hope towards next week when af is due.

Ughmaybenot · 14/03/2020 10:39

Aah thank you 😊 super disappointing, even tho I’d kept telling myself it probably wouldn’t happen straight away and not to get my hopes up... you always do anyway don’t you? 😂
Fingers crossed for you too x

Hey 😊 negative test yesterday, one of the early tests, period due today 👎🏻 Altho I’m so bloody irregular, who really knows?! 😂 was quite disappointed, but it’s the first month so I was probably being too optimistic. Next month 🤞🏻

Hey girls how u all doing? I only managed to do it once in my fertile week predicted on my flo app so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month unless I'm super lucky (which I'm not) haha going to take a few days off with OH next month so fingers crossed we get round to it 🤣 and I'm definitely using opks again next month think its even more stressful not knowing when its happening xxx

I hope so but trying to play it cool ha. Yeh there’s definitely lots of people that do that, what pill were you on? I went a whole 10 years without getting any bleed so that was quite worrying too. I hope af turns up very soon for you.

rathernotshare · 12/03/2020 20:31

@1987Nic well that sounds like it could be good news, fingers crossed!! Yeah I did, I've always had a niggle in my mind that there could be something wrong as I used to forget my pill a lot, sometimes for 4 days in a row Blush and somehow never been pregnant. But I'm sure everyone has these worries right?!

1987Nic · 12/03/2020 20:10

I’m good, still got boob pain today, I cuddled my friend today and they were so sore just from that. I’d like to tell you that you’ll be calm but I was absolutely fine until I knew I had started to ovulated and then I became obsessed ha. I bet waiting 50 days isn’t easy either, did you have periods when you were on the pill?

rathernotshare · 12/03/2020 19:54

@1987Nic all good here how about you? I don't know how I'll feel when I'm in your position, I'm having to stop myself testing even though I'm STILL waiting for my first post pill AF so not even sure I've started ovulating yet 😂 nearing 50 days!

1987Nic · 12/03/2020 19:18

How’s everyone doing today?, I’m cd 25 today, really don’t know how I’m going to hold off testing until Monday ha.

KaylieElizabeth · 11/03/2020 19:58

@rathernotshare - I'm on day 45 too!! Seems like the longest cycle ever

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 19:43

@Sitchervice I test first thing on a morning.
@rathernotshare Hopefully your period won’t be too bad.

rathernotshare · 11/03/2020 19:24

Day 45 without AF, starting to worry about how much I will bleed when it comes....

Sitchervice · 11/03/2020 19:23

What time is everyone testing with the sticks morning or evening. I'm still testing dispite doctor saying I probably am not ovulating as there's still hope but when's the best time?

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 19:01

My cycle was 32 days this month, it was my first proper period so hopefully it stays similar If I have any more periods.

Littlepeas2 · 11/03/2020 18:42

@1987Nic. Do you mind me asking how long your cycles are? I have 34 day cycles so trying to work out roughly when il ovulate. I think it will be Sunday or Monday!

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 18:36

Sending you a hug. @KaylieElizabeth
You might still have time to buy some abby25 ovulation sticks, I had my peak on CD17.

Congratulations everyone with their BFP!!! I'm on day 14 today and not having any ovulation symptoms kind of wish I got sticks now 🤣🤣 xxx

So confusex! Didn't hit peak fertility this month and still not on my period (app says was due around 4th) I do have strange cycles but really concerned now and feel like I will never get pregnant Sad

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 16:57

So tempted to take a test today but it’s only 7dpo and CD 24, my boobs are huge ha.
