Hey everyone!

Is anyone else trying TTC #1?

I think I’m 9DPO although my cycles vary from 28-34 days so I’m really not sure. This is my first cycle TTC so I haven’t tracked ovulation.

I took a clear blue ultra early digital test this morning and BFN, I’ve heard digitals aren’t as accurate, is that true? (The way the test was laid and how I was sat meant the ‘not’ was in the shadow so for a second I thought it just said pregnant, was gutted!)

Any advice on not driving yourself mad during the TWW? 😂

@Nmmck93 I agree with above you’ve done sooo well to hold off, I could never 😅 I’d say the spotting seems to be a good sign! If you do test tomorrow let us know how you’re getting on!

@BexTTC amazing to see such a strong like! I’ve loads of reviews of people getting errors with digitals, such a waste! But you can’t argue with all the positive tests you’ve had! 🥰

@Nmmck93 as I said you've done so well waiting this long, I clearly couldn't do it 😅
Tomorrow AF will be officially late so I think that's a perfect day to test ✨️

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 10:13

@BexTTC aw my OH has said hold out to Saturday but I think holding out until tomorrow is more than enough torture 😂 I know, I keep telling myself because it's unusual it could be a good sign. 🤞🏻

BexTTC · 04/05/2023 10:11

@Nmmck93 you can hold out 1 more day easily! Definitely test tomorrow if AF hasn't showed but I'm keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🤞 I think the fact its so unusual could be a good sign

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 09:48

@BexTTC oh I woke up and tan straight to the toilet this morning so I wasn’t tempted to think about testing because once I have done my FMU without testing I find it easier to withhold.

still very slightly spotting, AF due today according to Premom as it’s exactly 14 days after ovulation. Not sure what to expect. Deffs think I’ll test tomorrow morning if no sign of her by then. The waiting game is so annoying 🙈 I don’t feel like I’m pregnant, just because the spotting is so unusual it’s what makes me think I could get a BFP. 😂

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 23:10

@Nmmck93 I think you've done bloody well to wait this long tbh! Another couple of days isn't to bad, just try to keep busy

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 19:37

Girls I need someone to talk me out of testing tomorrow, my patience is -1000 😂
AF due tomorrow & the spotting is still there. A tiny bit has transfered into the liner this evening & when I wipe it still the tiniest bit. I just don't want to be disappointed and feel I should have the willpower to give it another few days and wait until AF is like 2 days late.

I NEED SOMEONE WITH WILL POWER TO SEND IT MY WAY PLEASE 😂🙈

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 17:42

Thank you @Piglet34 🥰

Mixed news then, try and stay positive though! Fingers crossed this is your cycle as well ✨️

I done a digital earlier but I didn't do it right so it errored, £10 down the pan but on the bright side my first response tests came in and look 😍

Awww congratulations @BexTTC @Ttcdcno1 , it's about time we had some more BFPs on this thread 💕 and @Nmmck93 really holding out hope for you as well! Xx

So 6dpo for me and so far no spotting and it usually comes bang on this day, so I guess that's something although will probs come tomorrow! Instead I have quite a lot of pale yellow CM, no idea what that means 😅 I had my consultation today and my ovarian reserve is really good which am happy about and everything looked normal in my scan apart from maybe an issue with left ovary. There is a cyst (maybe endo) and looks like it's folded round attached to the back of my uterus. Trying not to worry too much for now but maybe will get an MRI or tube scan in a month or two to find out more

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 09:18

@Nmmck93 I've read loads of stories of people not getting a BFP till well after 13 dpo so you're definitely not out! ✨️

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 08:33

@BexTTC ill probably do Friday or Saturday, i had early test strips arrive yesterday morning just wee cheapies that I’ll probably just test on.
I wouldn’t be surprised if AF shows before then though. I’m 13dpo today so it’s just a waiting game as tests up until yesterday where all negative 🙈 hoping it’s a BFP but we’ll see

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 08:29

@Nmmck93 when are you planning to test? On Saturday? I really hope you get a BFP ❤️

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 08:22

@kalixxx aw I told myself last night that this is AF so I woke up this morning to be in full AF but nope, went for a wee and wiped and the tiniest bit of pinkish blood on toilet paper! Honestly think my body is playing tricks and it’s going to spot until Friday then have full blown AF. 🙈 only time will tell.

@BexTTC awww looking good! 💜

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 08:14

@kalixxx Nauseous lol but otherwise OK, here are this mornings tests 🥰
Early response test will be here today and I'll likely nip out and get a digital lol

kalixxx · 03/05/2023 08:06

@BexTTC how are you feeling this morning, can’t wait to see your BFP on a digital! 🥰

@Nmmck93 thats so weird! With all my TTC Googling I’ve never got anything pregnancy related on my for you page!

I hope you manage to keep yourself busy in the next few days then we get to see a BFP from you!! Fingers crossed for you✨

OP posts:
Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 18:08

@BexTTC ah that's crazy! I can't wait to see the results on a digital for you! So exciting 💜

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 18:08

@Nmmck93 That's so weird because I've seen the same tiktoks and all my apps are telling me my tww is up on the 6th and that's when its telling me to test! I can't wait to see the results on a digital though 🥰

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 17:52

@BexTTC okay, you can not argue with that many positives! Absolutely over the moon for ya! 💜 if you’re like me, I’ll literally only ever believe it when I see the words ‘pregnant’ on a digital lol. But 5 in a row! YAYY! 🎉

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 17:50

@kalixxx @BexTTC yeah it’s nearly everytime I wipe now; no proper cramps, had mild cramping / niggling earlier after the first wipe but nothing since.
only time will tell I guess, gunna try keep myself busy over the next few days and see if AF is going to show.

what’s funny was 3 videos have come up on my for you page on TikTok in the last few days and it was one of them generic fertility readings basically (if you’re watching this it’s meant for you) kind of thing & both said I’d find out May 6th that I’m pregnant. Obviously phones track what we look at etc and all my TTC googling this last 2 months is all I’ve done lol. But it’s funny because my period is due on the 5th lol.

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 16:38

@kalixxx He knows but doesn't wanna get his hopes up yet till the digital which is fair enough lol

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 16:22

@Nmmck93 ahhh that’s a really good sign if it’s not usual for you! I never spot so in the TWW I’m analysing when I wipe for blood 😭😂

@BexTTC amazing!! Can’t argue with 5 in a row! Have you told your partner yet or did you test together?

OP posts:
BexTTC · 02/05/2023 15:48

@kalixxx I couldn't help myself 🙈

@Nmmck93 I think if it's unusual then it could be a good sign! Everything is crossed for you! 🤞🤞✨️

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 15:26

@kalixxx I'm 12dpo today, spotting when I wipe. AF due Friday & this spotting is massively unusual for me. 🙈

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 15:25

@BexTTC ahh let us know how you get on! Excited for you! 🥰

@Nmmck93 how many DPO are you? Sorry I know you said but it’s on the previous page so I can’t see it! 😅 but I know it’s so unfair how they’re basically the same! I usually always feel nauseous the week after ovulation and it gets me everytime! 🙄

OP posts:
Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 14:59

@kalixxx yeah, maybe I should TRY and hold out until Thursday / Friday unless I wake up tomorrow with AF and this is her teasing!
its so annoying how possibly pregnancy and period symptoms are just identical 🤬
