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??

@RJS20 any update?

Firsttimetrying2022 · 12/10/2022 19:52

I think I had some light bleeding just now in my underwear - not too sure because the underwear is quite dark... can you have implantation bleeding 7 or 8dpo?

TTC2022newbie · 12/10/2022 19:14

Thank you ladies 🙂🥰😘

So right, it will be worth it and I need to stay positive and keep DTD 🍆

ttcbaby12023 · 12/10/2022 17:59

@RJS20 Hi lovies sorry I have been so MIA!

I am currently CD16 so in my fertile window with Ovulation predicted tomorrow( according to Flo)

BD as much as possible, but trying to relax this cycle and not pressure myself. I've stepped back from OPKs, so just winging it this month!

Sorry to hear about light bleeding, how are you feeling now?

@TTC2022newbie oh dear, it really is a mental and physical battle we go through, to get our precious little babies but hopefully soon it will be worth all the blood sweat and tears for each and every one of us🖤

Felling OK again now thankyou, just gotta keep trying i guess! 😊 And 🤞for you this month!

RJS20 · 12/10/2022 16:26

I’ve just had some really light bleeding - hoping it’s implantation and not AF! Just crying into a tub of Nutella 😢😂

RJS20 · 12/10/2022 15:51

@ttcbaby12023 how are you getting on? 💕

RJS20 · 12/10/2022 15:50

Fluffster99 · 12/10/2022 12:45

@TTC2022newbie i totally get it and you are not alone. im in Cycle 4 TWW and found CD1 really hard this month xxx

Hope you’re feeling OK! Sending baby dust 💕

Really struggling today.
Cycle 4 not working and coming into cycle 5 has been really hard, it feels more like we are actually trying and it's not working as a pose to just starting out to TTC!!

Like it is a reality that we are TTC and it's not happening.

I cried a little before because I want a baby and I have no idea if it will ever happen. Part of me cannot imagine having a baby, like I don't see it because it's totally unknown but I also never expected to struggle to conceive. 😢 Emotional rollercoaster!!

I've just seen people I know on Facebook with their babies and I feel like a failure because I don't have kids 😔

Just needed to let that out.

Thanks guys

Hope you are all doing ok 😘

Aww bless you @TTC2022newbie

I felt like that coming into this cycle. All of our friends have kids and we are the only ones who don’t. We were at a wedding last month (AF had just arrived) and we were constantly being asked when we were gonna have kids. I had a little cry to my husband on the dance floor haha.

It’ll happen and you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Maybe book a trip away or something as a treat?

Thank you ☺️

I'm CD5 and AF finished yesterday. I'm just not feeling positive.

🤞 Hope you get your BFP in cycle 4 and don't have to hit cycle 5 like me 🤦🏼‍♀️😢

😢 so tough and confusing 😔

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/10/2022 18:36

I've got some FRER that I think I could take starting Thursday but will try to hold out until AF is due next Tuesday

RJS20 · 11/10/2022 18:17

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/10/2022 17:45

@RJS20 fingers crossed we'll both see a BFP soon!

I’ve got everything crossed for you! @Firsttimetrying2022 Im going to test again tomorrow morning x

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/10/2022 17:45

Does anyone know if more break outs on face can be a sign of pregnancy? I normally get some spots around ovulation and then nothing for AF but seem to have a lot of break outs at the moment. I'm sure I'm not ovulating as I'm on CD22 and I'm usually quite regular with ovulation on CD15 or 16. Latest I've had ever (as long as I've been using natural cycles as contraception at least) was CD17

I would said yes, the increase in hormones can cause acne.

I also have the clearest skin and I have 3 spots around my chin.

@RJS20 You're not out till AF arrives 🤞🤞

RJS20 · 11/10/2022 05:46

Ahhh I’m going crazy! My period is late which never happens, I’m like clock work so I’m like 90% sure I’m pregnant but I’ve got another negative pregnancy test!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Midnight00 · 10/10/2022 20:04

Fingers crossed for some positive news on this thread. Any more updates?

I'm out now with AF today. But know I didn't catch ovulation last cycle. Now more knowledge and have got CB OPKs and 'fertility cup ready for this cycle

Fluffster99 · 10/10/2022 18:05

In the TWW now I think… I was using OPKs but didn’t seem to catch any surge so I don’t really know what happened. Hopefully it happened and I just missed it. Trying to stay relaxed about it!

TTC2022newbie · 10/10/2022 17:26

@RJS20 🤞🤞🤞 the waiting and not knowing is so hard!!
