First month TTC

@Eaststreet yep, first cycle for baby #1. Thank you, I'm hoping to see a few more positives before this month is out.

@PineappleSun ahhh so so happy for you!! That is amazing news. Was this your first cycle TTC? (Sorry if you’ve already said at some point)!
We’ve got our first BFP on the thread! Congratulations

@FieldView oh I'll be around a long while yet, I want to see all your BFPs well!

I've posted my clue data, if you want to know anything else, just say

@PineappleSun woah no mistaking those tests - hugest congrats on your BFP!!!

I hope you'll still be hanging around this group for a little while longer though - I'd love to know how you get on!

I'd also love it if you can remind us how you played it this month (tracking not tracking, dtd, any symptoms?) just so I can really over-analyse next cycle 😂

Silly, it's the 16th not cd16, cd27 today, AF was due yesterday

Thank you, thank you, still in a bit of shock, it's not sunk in yet.
@Grace185 I don't know how helpful it'll be, but it is cycle 1, day 16, my cycle is usually 25-26 days long. I mainly used Clue to track, green is DTD, black is the one opk I did that had a weak positive. No preseed or temp charting. I think I ovulated overnight on the 3rd Jan, got very very hot on a cold night.
The most obvious symptom has been a heavy feeling around my uterus, like there's been a lot going on around there.

@PineappleSun CONGRATULATIONS!!!

@PineappleSun OMG yay!! Congratulations. This is extremely exciting. So happy for you. What amazing news!!

I'm not going to test now until at least Monday morning as that's roughly when AF is due if she hasn't arrived already by then. I have got a stitch like pain on my left side on and off which is very odd.

@PineappleSun CONGRATULATIONS!! So happy for you! Fancy giving us a summary of what cycle you were on and when af was due etc. And how you tracked?

@PineappleSun Oh my goodness that is amazing 😄 Brought a big smile to my face! Congratulations 🥳

@PineappleSun wow! Congratulations Hun, I am sooo happy for you! Yay! How exciting 💕

@PineappleSun oh my gosh ignore my last post I hadn't seen your latest! CONGRATULATIONS

@PineappleSun oh gosh that's so frustrating! You'd really hope that products such as pregnancy tests would work correctly when there's often so much hope going into them (either way!) got everything crossed for you that you get something clear on the CB!

@kittysw oh men - of course you are taking it seriously 😂 let us know how you get on when you test again.

I am CD 8 today so just started doing the CB OPKs - low fertility as expected, hoping to see some high/peak next week - I'm definitely not spending any more on these ones now I've seen how cheap the little strips are on amazon! My intention is to just do them this month and maybe next to get any idea if I am ovulating as have just come off pill in Dec. We'll see!

Good luck all and have an ace weekend x

Well shit, does anyone want 50 ovulation strips?

@PineappleSun ahh how bloody frustrating. Let us know how you get on with the clearblue!

@Kittysw I had exactly the same cramps yesterday, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
DH has just arrived with a clearblue. I think I'll just do it lest I go insane

@Kittysw keep us updated Hun if it is AF or not. Keep positive! Hope the nausea calms down

@PineappleSun I hope the tests weren't tell expensive. Thanks for the info, won't be buying the Tesco ones then!

@PineappleSun That's really rubbish. I do wonder how accurate some of the own branded ones are. Finger crossed you can get a different digital with a BFP.

Woken up this morning with what feels like super mild cramps so I feel like AF is on the way. :( Will be a little early but not overly surprising as it was the same last month randomly. Still feeling a little nauseous too though which is unusual.

@PineappleSun oh no!! Are you going to wait until tomorrow morning or just try in the afternoon?

Two digital tests, two errors, don't bother with tescos own

DH not bothered, can't understand why I'm so frustrated so I agree, bloody men!

@Annabelle0852 No you're right he didn't but still.

Oh god I think I would have exploded and then reasoned it out afterwards. They really are oblivious aren't they.

@Kittysw Men are totally dim. 😑 Don't read anything into it. BFP or AF you're hormonal (trust me, I am!)... I'm sure he didn't mean it quite how he said.

I was sleep deprived the other day and snapped at OH. He looked at me very seriously and said "Are you on your period?" Just as I was about to explode a la Chernobyl, he added, "Are you upset you're not pregnant?" And went in for a hug.

It was kind of sweet but I did have to explain to him that, no darling, 3 days after I've ovulated is NOT AF time. Men don't seem to have a clue about these things...

@Kittysw sending socially distanced hugs your way ☺️

I'm ok. Ate far too much. Boobs feel tender this eve but I usually get that near AF

@RadDarwazeh Thanks, I think it just shocked me tbh. Couldn't quite believe it.

Anyway I hope everyone is all good this evening.

Don't worry @Kittysw , other halves are a bit dim sometimes. And don't get the things we have to consider when TTC in terms of the tracking we gotta do! Keep strong babes
