Hi All, jumping on this thread as we have decided to try for our first! I'm turning 34 this year and have just realised my biological clock is ticking! We haven't been being careful since about September but this is the first month we've decided to actively try

Does anyone on here NOT track ovulation?

I'm on cycle day 2. Everyone seems to track it and then can test on the right DPO, but is there anyone like me who DOESNT test?

Feel alone when everyone is comparing DPO and I don't know anything about it 😂

Thanks ladies, I was devastated but starting to feel a little better. I was SO anxious about a chemical and low and behold it actually happened! I think there has been 3 or 4 on the last couple of threads, maybe more!! They must be extremely common sadly!! So please ladies don’t test too early!! Especially if you are an anxious person!! Take it from me!! But trying to see the positives atleast I know we have conceived and praying the next one sticks! Has anybody got any success stories following chemical pregnancys? I’d love to hear!

Happy new year everyone!

@Roxybabe I'm so sorry. You must feel awful. Sending hugs and positivity for your next cycle

@Emz30 that looks like a good line progression to be, but very sensible to wait until after AF is due to retest, although you'll be going mad in them few days in the run up. I hope the next few days goes quickly

Emz30 · 01/01/2023 11:08

Tested again thismorning and looks like it’s gotten darker 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I’m afraid now to get my hopes up with so many chemical pregnancies on here 😭 Iv never even heard of them 🙈 AF not due till Thursday so I won’t do anymore till then..

So so sorry to hear this @Roxybabe1. Hope you’re doing ok. Sending love. Can’t believe the amount of chemicals I’ve read about lately

Happy New Year everyone
I got a very positive OPK yesterday and managed to DTD despite both of us recovering from nasty colds! But don't think I'll be able to convince him again so hope that one time will be enough.

And so begins the dreaded TWW, anyone else testing around Jan 14th?

So after 3 BFPs before xmas (2 FRERS and a digi) I started bleeding 2 days ago and got a negative HPT, I’m so shocked at the amount of chemicals on this group… I will never test early again and strongly advise you ladies not to test early too… it’s soul destroying ti get your hopes up!! I’m Absolutely gutted. But i’m trying not to dwell too much and i’m Jumping back on TTC train! (I’m original poster… I deleted my account after BFP as I found MN to be abit triggering and cause anxiety) but sadly I’m back…

I'm sorry to hear that. I feel exactly the same about testing early now too. I really thought this was it this month but am also amazed at how many of us are seeming to be having chemicals. I didn't realise it was so common I guess. Best of luck to you, I hope this is your month 🤞🏻

TTC1RanchHand · 01/01/2023 09:06

Hey Ladies! Mind if I join. I’m 31, he is 40 and trying for our 1st! This is our first month TTC (or you could say 1st month not actively trying to avoid it).

I used Natural Cycles to track my cycle the last 2 years after removing my IUD. So I feel like I’m pretty well versed on my cycle. Hit a few attempts right before OD that are in range. Currently in the TWW and I’m probably overly excited. I took one test already because I just couldn’t wait and I had crazy headaches and nausea out of nowhere one afternoon. BFN so far, but hopeful that might change still.

Excited to find a group of ladies who are all in this together. Baby dust all the way around :) Happy New Year!

Hi all.
Marking my spot. We are TTC #2
I'd say we're loosely on Cycle #3. Not really been "trying" but also not being careful.

CD20 today but I can have cycles anywhere from 28-40 days.
No pressure atm. We are just DTD when it comes naturally. Taking a relaxed approach as don't want to get into the ovulation tests and stuff until we are ready to officially "try"
Sending lots of luck and baby dust to everyone for a 2023 baby 👶 xx

Downtherabbithole83 · 31/12/2022 17:49

@Emz30 I can see a line on the test and it looks clearer than on your earlier one 🤞

apples24 · 31/12/2022 17:35

@Babydust99 and @Emz30 I can definitely see faint pink lines in both of yours. :) Fingers crossed!

bubblebab · 31/12/2022 17:18

Hi 👋 just joining after coming from the December testing group.
After some very hopeful symptoms and pink spotting yesterday (which I haven't had before) AF showed up this evening 🙄

So January will be cycle #2 off TTC baby #2 🤞🏻

Babydust99 · 31/12/2022 17:09

Emz30 · 31/12/2022 17:07

Thanks for replying.. I sent hubby out to get more before the shops close.. he got First response rapid result so not the early ones and this is the result.. surely it would be too much of a coincidence to get two evaps? 🤞🏼🤞🏼Iv another one for in the morning 🤞🏼

I got a line similar to this on frer this morning, I'm 11dpo but I'm guessing it's just an indent. Heard a lot of people saying about getting them on frers recently. I'd wait til the morning and see. If the line goes pink I'd say its definitely a bfp

@Babydust99 that's what I thought when I read further up! Ive got one frer left which I'm going to try and save until Monday or Tuesday. My last pregnancy I got a very faint but clear positive at 10dpo so not far off x

I'm 11dpo tho so not holding out much hope. I was shaking this morning when I saw it but now I'm not convinced

Hi everyone! I've ended up here by accident 🤦‍♀️ Believe to be about 8dpo today, took this and I'm convincing myself I can see a shadow!
Both are the same image but with brightness altered on the first.

Yours looks very similar to mine! Will be interesting to see if either of us get a bfp!

@Babydust99 is the line still there?
last cycle I thought I saw a line straight away but it disappeared within 90 seconds, it was a white line though, no colour.
yours looks pink. Eeeeek! Fingers crossed

Yes it was still there a couple of hrs later but quite hard to see now. I can't tell if there's pink in it or not. Just wanted to know one way or another today so I knew if I could have a drink or not tonight 🙈

I think I can see a faint line in the first picture. Fingers crossed, are you going to test again in a few days?

Yes its so super faint. I've never had issues with frer before they are usually just stark white but I've heard others complaining about frers giving indents/evaps so I don't know what to think 🙈 the line was there straight away tho
