Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )Sad

Praying for my BFP this monthHalo

Anybody else in the same boat??

Hope everyone is doing ok?

I'm 7dpo I think and trying so hard not to think anything 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

What will be will be.

Firsttimetrying2022 · 24/10/2022 09:58

@ttcbaby12023 still BFN, still don't know what was going on with AF this month. GP recommended to take a test again in a few weeks or wait to see if next AF is normal again. For my sanity I will assume it's going to stay a BFN and move on with this month

iloveeggs · 21/10/2022 12:24

@ttcbaby12023 11 DPO, BFN this morning :(

Very cramp so I think AF is on her way but trying to stay positive

Bananatoast123 · 21/10/2022 07:53

AF came two days ago for me so onto cycle 9! Trying to stay positive and think I’m one step closer to getting a BFP!

CheeryCupcake · 21/10/2022 07:05

13/14 dpo, no sign of AF which should have arrived two days ago, but latest BFN also two days ago. Going to test again tomorrow. Still light cramping, intermittent light nausea, fatigue, hormones unsettled, seem to be hungry all the time. Don't know what to think!

ttcbaby12023 · 20/10/2022 23:23

How is everybody gang🤞🏼

AF is still being really weird - GP said light period is usually not anything to worry about - I'm still not convinced it's a period vs implantation bleeding ... DH thinks I'm going insane and should just accept that it hasn't happened. I feel crazy because part of me thinks I know my body and I know that this isn't usual for me, the other part of me thinks I'm just clinging to any bit of hope...:

Sorry for the rant 😅 just needed to get it out somewhere

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 16:46

@RJS20 sorry to hear about AF showing up

It's the worst when you're late and get your hopes up

RJS20 · 17/10/2022 15:02

Sorry I’ve been quiet. AF made an appearance 4/5 days late which is extremely unusual for me. I did do a pregnancy test which BFN, went back after the 10 mins to chuck it out and there was a clear second line, must of just been an evap line but it’s hit me really hard this month.

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 11:56

I think I'll leave testing until the weekend if I can - doesn't really change much and I think it'd be nicer to find out and have time to be happy/sad without having to go to work after

Bananatoast123 · 17/10/2022 11:35

@Firsttimetrying2022 give it until tomorrow and test again! Last month I was on/off and it’s the worst!!

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 10:28

I'm normally late when I'm stressed so maybe I've just relaxed too much this month 😂

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 10:26

@Bananatoast123 I thought so at first yesterday but then it was a bit stronger than I would've expected for implantation.

If it's still weird and on off I'll test tomorrow

Bananatoast123 · 17/10/2022 10:10

@Firsttimetrying2022 could it be implantation bleeding? Maybe try test tomorrow? I’ve had a few cycles where my period was really early and I found stress was causing it. I now have a massage in my two week window and that helps!

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 09:30

Thanks @Bananatoast123

It's all still really confusing to me so will just try different things and see what happens.

AF seems to have stopped again so really not sure what's going on - have reached out to GP to see if there is anything to be concerned about as this is also really early for me so just want to make sure that there is nothing else going on

Bananatoast123 · 17/10/2022 08:15

@Firsttimetrying2022 sorry AF came! I think mine is about to start too!

If it helps I stopped tracking a few months back and it’s felt more relaxing. I found I had signs of my fertile window / ovulation so I go off them but try not focus on them too much! I find it easier knowing I have like over 7 days to dtd then thinking “today is good I got a peak”!

look after yourself today xx

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 08:03

AF came fully this morning so I'm on to cycle 4. We're trying to take a step back and just dtd every other day this cycle rather than tracking my cycle so will see how we go

Glawen · 16/10/2022 23:14

Could I join also please? TTC1, cycle 4. Hoping this is the month ❤️ xx

Bananatoast123 · 16/10/2022 21:26

Hey can I join? I’m ttc for my first and we are on cycle 7! I’m 12dpo but think AF is going to come as got my usual pms! I feel like I’ve tried everything and I’m giving up hope 🤦🏼‍♀️ everyone I know conceived quickly but it’s because you only hear about the “I got pregnant first try”!! I don’t have many friends I can talk to about it all etc

TTC2022newbie · 16/10/2022 20:30

So my first every OPK 🤣

I'm not due to ovulation until next Thursday-Saturday

But am I closer than I think with this OPK?

I'm feeling slight twingers down there, hormone headache yesterday and a fair bit of CM last few days

Any advise appreciated 🙂

Still having cramps and started spotting so think AF might be early. Bit strange as I'm normally very regular and if I'm off by a day it tends to be on the longer side. Tiny part of me that's hoping this might be implantation but also don't want to get my hopes up too much and be disappointed when it turns out to be AF

Firsttimetrying2022 · 15/10/2022 17:25

@CheeryCupcake thank you! Trying really hard to remain hopeful but just feeling a bit down - guess I won't know until AF shows up but it's hard to stay optimistic the longer it takes

CheeryCupcake · 15/10/2022 17:00

@Firsttimetrying2022 I'm so sorry you're feeling down - sending you hugs and plenty of baby dust, and I hope your month gets better. Just remember you're not alone.

Firsttimetrying2022 · 15/10/2022 16:47

Feeling a bit crap today - thought I had some spotting on Wednesday but not sure and been having cramps and feeling really bloated all day yesterday and today. Breast had been really firm but feel a bit deflated today so I think AF might be coming soon. Due on Tuesday but I think I might be out for this month

TTC2022newbie · 14/10/2022 22:13

@RJS20 hope you are ok. Any update?
