TTC baby #1 7DPO

Hi ladies, after stalking every one else’s threads for months I’ve decided to make my own 😄 Im 7DPO today and have had 2 negative tests so far. Im 31, and we’ve been ttc for about 4 months now. I know it’s a bit too early to test so I’m staying hopeful. I just want to hear from anyone who’s in a similar situ so we can offer some support for each other ☺️ x

@GeorgiaGK ohh it could be a sign! Would you have a regular cycle? For me I'm usually every 28 days and I think I tracked ovulation once 🫣 I think I always ovulate around day 14! Hi @carsty! That's reassuring that you have had tests done and everything seems okay. I also have IBS which I think is probably contributing to me feeling nauseous. What day are you due AF? Not sure what could be making your cycles shorter 😕 have you been tracking ovulation? X

hi all i hope you dnt mind me joining. im 32, got married over a year ago and being dtd unprotected since but was not actively ttc. However, I have been ttc since early this year and never had a bfp, also did a few checks as i thought i may have pcos but was rold no concerns re bloods and ultrasound...anyway im currently 7dpo and due af next week. Last night i was nauses and cramping but i think this is due to ibs which doesnt help as this mirrors some pregnancy symptoms i also experience pms symptoms anyway so would be hard to symptom spot..i have decided to stop doing hpt the last couple mnths since they were always negative and will only test if i miss af... Since this year i have noticed my cycles seem to be shorter. I used to have 28-30 day cycles and now im having 24-27 days😩😩

I think I'm around 7dpo today! I didn't do ovulation tests this month as I'm on my 8th cycle so getting a bit bored of it now 😆 My boobs usually hurt sooo much in the week before my period but they don't yet. Hoping that might be a sign?!

@Beepops22 @Staciejade54 tell me about it 🤣 today I feel really nauseous but I don't know if it's just my mind playing tricks on me lol. I also took another test this morning at 8dpo and it was negative. Welcome @Egsnow ☺️ I'm the same as you we've never really been careful but only started properly trying recently. I thought it would be easier somehow! What dpo are you? X

Hi all. Watching this thread as I've recently started my own TTC journey. I'm 37 and hoping its not too late! I came off the pill at the end of May and really decided to go for it last month although we've not been careful from the start! No results yet 😬. I've bought ovulation tests so I'm a little bit more aware and hoping that I will conceive sooner rather than later.
Anyone else a bit older and trying? Would love to hear from you.

@Sunnygal no symptoms but I am trying my best to ignore anything so far as I drove myself mad last month symptom spotting 🤣

Staciejade54 · 09/11/2022 17:38

@Sunnygal yeah it is still super early, I’ll probably test in the next few days. I don’t have any symptoms really this cycle although last cycle I had lots and it was negative so it can be frustrating

Hey both ☺️ what kind of symptoms have you had @Beepops22? I'm feeling good, no symptoms at all apart from some cramps which isn't out of the ordinary (AF due next Wednesday). @Staciejade54 I totally get you 😞 8dpo is still very early though so theres still hope for this month ☺️ When are you testing next?

Fingers crossed for you both!!

Hey! I’m 8dpo today, took my first test this morning which was negative. This is month 5 for me so feels like it’s starting to drag on a little now as we were hoping we’d be pregnant by the end of the year.

Beepops22 · 09/11/2022 15:05

Hi @Sunnygal we have only really been trying for 2 cycles but came off the pill in June. I'm around 5/6 dpo according to my app but had more ovulation symptoms over the weekend so not sure. I will be taking a test on 20/11 if AF hasn't arrived. How are you feeling? any symptoms?
