I didn't want to miss everyone's BFPs this week and our last bus is nearly full up so thought I'd jump over here.

@J0DI3 no they don't detect pregnancy, they detect oestrogen and lh unfortunately.

@Dreaming101 @notyetamumbuttrying really hoping you aren't joining me but would be good to have some familiar names in there.

@Noble89 bit of afternoon delight I love that, but is strange about the spotting, have you ever had that before? Are the cramps like AF cramps or something else? Do you think it could be pg related? The not knowing is the worst definitely feel better taking the test and then just having to accept it. This is going to be a bloody journey but glad I met ya along the way.

Also I casually fell down the stairs after I saw the negative and then cried for about 30minutes DP compensated me with sooo many shnacks 😂

For any ladies that use the Clearblue digital OPK, I got a blank circle (as was just testing it out) but I have one dark line and one faint line. I’m probably trying to convince myself but they don’t detect pregnancy do they?

Noble89 · 14/05/2020 19:20

@SmileyT oh that sucks mate. Honestly don't get yourself down (I know that's easier said than done). You know you can conceive and it's really unusual to get lucky cycle one so just treat this as a practice round and onto the next. Mind saying that, you're never out till AF shows so you never know.

I feel very meh. I'm over the not knowing and constant obsessing. No one wants to see AF or a BFN but in a weird way it can be a relief from all the symptom spotting and wondering if you're pregnant every minute of the day. I really don't think I am pregnant so honestly I'd rather just have that confirmed so I can move onto the next cycle.

I've had a weird afternoon too. DP and I DTD this afternoon and I had spotting after and again this afternoon and now I have quite bad cramping and it's really freaking me out 😭

Dreaming101 · 14/05/2020 18:49

@SmileyT @notyetamumbuttrying think I’ll be joining you on the June Bus. Have a feeling that this isn’t our month.

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 18:39

@SmileyT I'll be hopping on the June bus once af shows her ugly head on sun! So cya there ;)

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 18:34

32 this year and I've just seen my first ever BFN, wasn't as bad as I thought maybe because I knew it was coming, oh well onto the next cycle, I've already been watching the June bus 🤪

@KRK05 glad you are feeling positive and calm 🧘‍♀️ what day are you expecting ovulation? Any idea?

@Kodasmom yeah Sunday sounds like a good plan, once you have a positive test I think it's best to wait a few days then test again otherwise you can drive yourself mad 😕

OP posts:
KRK05 · 14/05/2020 17:48

@lucyrp & another one cause both @SmileyT @Noble89 use them so maybe they could shed some light 💜

KRK05 · 14/05/2020 17:25

@SmileyT Sometimes having a little rant helps 😂 I'm good I'm on CD4, still got AF so I'm in the timeframe of things are great before the dreaded TWW comes 🙈 I just cant wait until Monday to get the CB out to start seeing these smiley faces. Feeling positive & calm (so far) 🙄

@Kodasmom Digitals are less sensitive apparently so just think positive lovely. No denying your test from this morning 💜 save the digitals for around AF time X

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 17:15

Oh girls I just couldn’t help myself. I did a digital test there and it said “not pregnant”. My DH is going mad lol he just doesn’t understand why I had to POAS in the afternoon knowing it was diluted urine lol. He said I’m not allowed to test now until Sunday as I’m driving us both crazy!!!! I am still only 11dpo.

Please tell me this is normal and I should just go back to this mornings faint line as good news??

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 16:57

@Noble89 had the longest day at work but luckily I was so busy it flew by. My DP said the same thing about a timeframe, when I'm being logical I think the same, we kinda had the idea of being pregnant by August before investigating further but I just feel so impatient sometimes 😩 how you feeling this afternoon?

Thanks @KRK05 I've calmed myself down a bit, how are you doing?

Definitely heard the cold feet cold uterus thing before 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 14/05/2020 16:04

I sleep with my socks on cos my feet are always so cold 😂@Dreaming101 I have heard this recently though, good to hear someone else say it too!

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 15:48

@Dreaming101 I went to a hormone specialist and she told me the same thing. It’s to keep our livers warm. Plus fresh ginger tea in the mornings is good for women’s fertility.

J0DI3 · 14/05/2020 15:37

@Dreaming101 my feet are always cold! Thanks for the tip 👍🏼

Dreaming101 · 14/05/2020 15:24

Ladies call me crazy but I heard a tip on Instagram .. apparently keeping your feet warm helps make your Uterus more attractive for implantation. I follow a lady who is now pregnant after having ivf due to having NK cells. And the clinic told her to keep her feet warm!

Noble89 · 14/05/2020 12:46

@KRK05 oh without a doubt 😂. I'm so tempted to test again tonight but I won't, I'm gonna hold out till tomorrow morning.

Possible TMI but DP and I DTD this afternoon and when I wiped I had some brown spotting. It was just the when I wiped and it's stopped completely now but now I'm freaking out as that's never happened before 😭

Kodasmom · 14/05/2020 12:43

Thank you @KRK05 as the day goes on I’m convincing myself more and more that it’s definitely positive. I’m new to all of this so I’m googling everything and reading into everything.

KRK05 · 14/05/2020 12:10

@Julia529 @J0DI3 That's what I've got, the CB digital to start this cycle I will be starting it Monday 🤞🏻

@Noble89 So sorry it was a BFN this morning, but still super early so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 & I know youl be POAS daily now 😂

@SmileyT Definitely not self indulgent lovely, that's what were here for to have a moan about OH & all things TTC 😂 its understandable why u feel like u do & like @Noble89 says men just dont understand the insane pressure for women!
Good luck for testing tomorrow 🤞🏻

KRK05 · 14/05/2020 12:05

@Kodasmom That is definitely positive, so exciting 💜 looks exactly as mines did when I got 'pregnant' the same day on a digital. There is no doubting your test. Congratulations 🥰

J0DI3 · 14/05/2020 11:49

@Julia529 yeah I’ve had a few recommendations about them specifically so have taken that on board. Makes me feel quite confident about the next cycle x

Julia529 · 14/05/2020 11:46

@J0DI3 I'm going to do the same! I have been looking through the threads this morning and it seems CB digital comes up frequently so going to order those

J0DI3 · 14/05/2020 11:43

@Julia529 I’ve heard really good things about the OPKs so am looking forward to testing with them. I’ve ordered the CB digital x

Julia529 · 14/05/2020 11:28

@SmileyT I used app'a and CM only. I'm going to order some ovulation tests for next cycle and try those instead. Just want AF to show up now to start again 🤞🏼

Noble89 · 14/05/2020 11:13

@SmileyT Ahh mate it doesn't sound at all self indulgent. It's completely normal to feel the way you do and we all get it. Men can be idiots sometimes and they don't understand the pressure were under as women as even though it takes two to make a baby we always feel like it's our fault when it doesn't happen. Last time we were TTC mine kept saying 'are you pregnant yet?' in like a jokey tone and although it was completely innocent and he was just trying to lighten the mood I eventually lost my shit with him. He apologised and said it was a complete joke and he was just trying to be funny but he's not said it since 😂.

The fact you know you can conceive and conceived quickly last time is a very good thing. Honestly there's nothing wrong with you, give it 3 cycles and then of nothing is happening maybe approach your doctor then xx

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 10:16

@notyetamumbuttrying @Noble89
This is literally my first month ttc and me and DP had a bit of an argument about it this morning before I left for work, he said 'you're definitely not pregnant' and although I agreed I just kinda lost my mind about it. After the MC in March I'm just obsessed and we did conceive then without trying and probably makes me seem so impatient but even though logically I know there probably isn't an issue as we had no follow up after MC I just feel like I want to check that out for myself. I'm 32 this year and would love to have a few so feel like I need to get my skates on aswell. Sorry this is horribly self-indulgent but feels better to write it down.

I've decided to test tomorrow and then crack open a bottle of wine Friday night as a consolation prize... xx
