TTC #1

@Laurzz I'm sorry to hear it's been a bumpy one. Congratulations! 🎉 Sending lots of luck to you and your sticky bean 🤞:)

@LaVitesse2022 definitely one of those things you cannot control or plan. Im a big believer in what's for you won't go by you.

I've had a bumpy start, we started trying in September and fell pregnant in January. Unfortunately it ended with a misscarriage at 9 weeks in March. I'm currently two weeks pregnant. Let's hope it's a sticky bean🌈 🤞.

@Laurzz such a leap into the unknown! I'm a planner and like to have to-do lists and control each step of the way to get to something but with this there's so much that is out of our control so feeling out of my element. I'm a newbie here but have got lots of reassurance just from reading some threads! How have these past months been for you?

I'm also TTC #1. All tests negative so far but I'm only 9DPO.

Seems like a bit of a design flaw this TWW.

Good luck to everyone!

@tineys , I've got everything crossed for you 💕. Would you consider using a digital?

@bec020 ahh the dreaded TWW, sending you lost of baby dust for this cycle 😀.

@LaVitesse2022 Hey, I felt the exact same when we finally agreed to TTC. We started our journey back in September and it's been an extremely emotional roller costar. That's why I love chatting to you lot! Sending you lots of baby dust also😀

Hi everyone, hope it's OK to join! me and my partner just decided to start ttc #1 after 16 years together so feeling a combo of we're-doing-this-finally-! and what-am-I-getting-myself-into 😆

Good luck everyone x

hi everyone, just checking in! also on cycle three of ttc #1, just about to go into the tww (again)

@Laurzz I tend to have slightly irregular cycles (not by much just few days) so hard to tell if I'm 100% late, but the time since ovulation i would expect I am. I'm going to wait a day or two, then do another test and see. If negative, I'll ring the doctors. If I didn't have such strong symptoms I would think perhaps they were just evap lines but it's so strange - my boobs have been hurting for several days now, lots of nausea/have gone off food. And if they were AF symptoms surely I would have come on by now!

@tineys Sorry to hear that ☹

Is AF late?

First Response are my 'go-to' tests for early pregnancy detection. I’d call your doctor and ask for a blood test. You had a faint positive at 11dpo, 12dpo and have all the classic symptoms of pregnancy.

@Laurzz did a test this afternoon and a BFN unfortunately didn't use fmu but I think at this point it would show no matter the time of day! Been feeling extremely nauseous yesterday and today, but now I'm wondering if it's just a sickness bug or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

@tineys thank you 😊, while I'm out and about tomorrow I'm going to pick up a clear blue weeks indicator and do it next week. I'm dating it from day of ovulation but not sure if it works like that. I haven't had a period between the misscarriage and today .

Keep me updated 🤞

@Laurzz I'm awaiting more tests, should be here tomorrow so will soon see! Congrats on the line!! That's a good one for 11Dpo, congratulations 💕

Hello, how is everyone?

@tineys how is the line progressing?

I couldn't help myself but test at 11 dpo. The plan was to test at 12 dpo but I've been feeling very out of sort. I got a clear positive 😀. I hope this one sticks 🌈

Sending you all luck and baby dust 👶

@tineys I think I can see a faint line 🤞.

I can't wait to test, breasts are very sore today and had a wave of nausea this afternoon but not returned. I just have this gut feeling something is brewing 🌈. Not going to hype myself up because the disappointment is always worse.

Did another test this afternoon (couldn't help myself, when really I should use FMU too!). Can slightly see something, not sure if it's evap line tho

Hey @Laurzz thanks! Same to you, I have my fingers crossed 🤞 I know what you mean about feeling odd, not sure how to explain it but today my stomach has felt 'full'. Although I do wonder if I'm looking out for more symptoms and thus noticing them more than I would if it was any other time of the month... it all messes with your head a bit!

HEY @tineys

That sounds all very positive and I hope you get your BFP over the next few days 🙏. Today I've been feeling odd. So tempted to test but think 8dpo is too early.

Good Luck!

It won't let me upload the photo for some reason!

Oo can I join please? I'm also TTC #1, but many many cycles in unfortunately

I don't tend to test each cycle as it's too disappointing, but something feels a bit different this cycle, have been getting a few 'symptoms'. Aching boobs, which doesn't often happen this time of the cycle for me, and crampy/nauseous. Couldn't wait and took a test this afternoon, 11 dpo, something very very faint caught my eye, not sure it even caught it on the photo to be honest - so going to be a bit of a waiting game over the next few days!

How's everyone else getting on?

Hello everyone, just checking in..

Currently 8dpo, probably will test around 12 dpo because I just can't help myself LOL. Been feeling abit under the weather this week and breasts are very sore. Still no period since MC but I'm expecting it to arrive in the next few days. Although, I've been having vivid dreams about babies the last few nights. Could it be a sign? Probably just me over thinking everything 😂.

Hope everything is keeping well and sending you all baby dust 💕

@Carlswhite29x TTC journey can be lonely but its once you join this forum you realise your not alone. Interestingly this morning I have found someone on Mumsnet who conceived at the same time, miscarried, and has the same cycle days as me – how amazing is that!!!?

I’m doing good, still waiting on my period but should be due in the next few weeks. I’m 3 dpo but not done much ‘trying’ this cycle. So, I’ll count myself out this one also.

You know your body better than anyone but sore books and light cramping can be early signs of pregnancy. Good Luck! Keep us all updated 😀

@Carlswhite29x Hi! I'm in the same boat TTC #1. I'm 34, so a little scared of my age. I'm on my 3rd cycle as sadly AF showed up late Sunday night and I'm currently on CD3.

Myself and DH have been on Pregnacare vitabiotics for the last month. I'm waiting on the London Fertility Clinic to give dates for myself and DH to have tests done to ensure we're both healthy. While we're unaware of any issues, there's no harm in getting checked.

I have a 35 day cycle which can differ by a few days annoyingly, but I'm using easy@home OPKs and Premom app to track ovulation and it's got quite tedious already! Lots of peeing on sticks 😄Hopefully we all get our BFPs soon! Sending lots of baby dust to each and all 😊

@lettyloulou
I usually use the cheap ones for the for early testing (9 dpo) and a FRER or pink dye if/when my period is late. My personal preference is first response for a FRER test. Hope you get your BFP soon.
