TTC baby 1

Hello @monsteramunch I am good thanks. I have a bit of cold but I think most people have it at the mo.

Aww I’m so sorry to hear that, how long have you been trying for?

@RJS20 @monsteramunch Hey both! I’m 5dpo today. Bbt is still rising but doing a day 21 progesterone test in 2 days time to check. If all ok then it confirms my cycles are ok hormone levels wise.

Sorry you think AF is coming! But it’s good you have a plan going forward!

Hi @RJS20 how are you doing?

Pretty sure my period will arrive today.

BFN again this morning and all my usual signs including period pains.

Absolutely gutted.

Next month we're having some tests done so at least we have a plan to focus on.

Hope you're OK

Morning all! Just thought I’d check in and see how everyone is doing? 💕

AF due on Sunday - so far I've done alright in terms of symptom spotting but I'm off work this week so worried it's going to be difficult. Any tips on how to not go crazy this week?

3dpo and bbt has risen so confirms I’ve ovulated when I thought! Fingers crossed cycle 9 is ours 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Misspotterscat So sorry, I'm finding it harder and harder to stay positive each month too

I had such a vivid dream of birth and holding the baby last night so feel really sad waking up and it not being real 😞

@TTC2022newbie congrats on your BFP!

I tested again this morning 12dpo. Negative. I feel so down about it today, need to pick myself up and move on to next cycle

So draining!!

I had spotting last Thursday which is so common for me 3/4 days before AF yet I have no AF yet and a faint BFP this morning, boobs are hurting today too.

I was so disheartened and sad last week when I got the usual spotting but I guess you just never know until AF arrives or you get a BFP.

I feel better not testing, I have more hope, otherwise I get really down and feel low with a BFN.

I tested last Saturday which I thought was 11dpo and BFN but I think I'm probably more like 12/13dpo now really.

Just hoping for more BFP in this group and for them to stick. 🤞😘

Argh 9DPO and this evening the pains are really feeling exactly like the ones I get the day before AF. But AF not due for another four days and is never usually early.

Because the pain is so similar I keep thinking maybe AF has started but (sorry TMI) but it's just quite heavy discharge, which I never usually get.

Determined not to test until AF is due.

Trying not to get too down and hold onto hope a bit. Ugh. It's so draining all this isn't it?

@Firsttimetrying2022 I know what you mean, we definitely got to this and having a month or two off and being like non commital about it helps! We’re now back onto concentrating on good days but instead of telling my OH “this day” I’ll tell him like “this week is a good week” and let it naturally fall on whatever day! It has made it less pressure and resulted in dtd everyday!

@TTC2022newbie

Everything crossed for you!

Does anyone else feel like DTD is becoming more like a chore? This month we've agreed to not track anything (temp or OPKs) and just DTD every 2-3 days across the whole month but it's been hard to make it fun when trying to squeeze it around work and everything else going on ...

Fingers crossed the line becomes stronger over the next few days!!

Just done two tests (different brands) and I can see a faint line on both. 🤞Kinda hoping it would be bolder with FMU (did one last night and was faint too) but no AF either yet so all good so far I guess.

This is the closest I've ever been to BFP 😬🤞

I'm so sorry 😞 that's so shit! We so don't deserve any of this 😔

No AF yet.

I tested on Saturday at 11pdo (I think) and BFN.
I also had spotting on Thursday and Friday last week (which is common for me).
I've had what I assume is heartburn on Monday, don't think I've ever had it before, like a burning in my chest/heart.
So I think I ovulated 2 weeks ago yesterday as I got a strong OPK positive but I also didn't use the OPKs properly, only did three.

My app still thinks I'm due tomorrow. On CD 25 and had a 28 cycle last month so could still be due on Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not tested since Saturday but getting tempted to test tomorrow, kinda want to hold off though!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just finding it mentally easier not testing!!

Oh @ttcbaby12023 I'm so sorry 😞

Sending lots of love, it's so shit and so unfair x

5dpo for me. Sorry@ttcbaby12023 and @Misspotterscat!

@Saturnsmoon Hi! Sorry you’ve been finding it harder! We are on cycle 9 (but if you take away the months we had covid it’s cycle 7) so know how you feel as you get closer to 12! Similar to you, we started relaxed and then was like errr why’s it now 7 months in!!

we’re now trying all sorts… separated out my vitamins, taking EPO too, got fertility lube for the first time this month and trying to exercise / lose weight between us… we aren’t even big people, just haven’t been the healthiest over summer etc! I don’t know if we can do anything else than wait for luck to be on our side!

@ttcbaby12023 Ahh sorry you’ve think it’s AF and the faint positives! Maybe see how the next few days go? I hope you’ve just had some off BFN’s and it’s implantation!

Ovulating now so 🤞🏼

9dpo today. I caved and tested first thing this morning and no line, will test again is AF is late but think I’m out

im 5 days late but negative tests and don’t feel like it’s going to be positive but equally no idea what’s going on. Just so stressful

AF in full force as of this morning so I’m definitely out for this month!
