Anyone else TTC #1? Just looking for TTC buddies!

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? 😂

@Ttcdcno1 ahhh massive congratulations! So nice to see another BFP on here! May could be a lucky month for the thread ✨

@Nmmck93 I’ve read that after implantation it can take around 48 hours for your body to produce enough HCG to be detectable on a test so you’re probably too early! Fingers crossed for you!

@BexTTC I’ve found first response impossible to find in stores at the moment! Keep us updated! 🥰

@Ttcdcno1 lol its so tempting isn't it! You're only 3 days ahead of me, keeping everything crossed our lines get darker over the next few days ✨️🤞

Ttcdcno1 · 02/05/2023 13:39

@BexTTC thanks! 🥰11dpo today, af was due Thursday so almost made it to testing then but I caved this morning 😂

thanks @Nmmck93 💕fingers crossed for you too!

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:34

@Nmmck93 yea if it was implantation it could take a couple days yet, keeping everything crossed you get a BFP soon 🤞🤞

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 13:13

I’ve just took a test after possible implantation bleeding but stark negative.

  1. urine was massively diluted
  2. if it’s implantation and not AF then could be too early.
going to wait until Friday AF day and see then!

congrats @Ttcdcno1 keeps us updated along with @BexTTC 💜

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:10

@dormicumema Thank you! I'll update tomorrow and hopefully the lines are darker 🤞🤞💕

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:09

@Ttcdcno1 Yay! Fingers crossed! Looks nice a nice strong line to me, how many DPO are you?

dormicumema · 02/05/2023 13:00

Massive congratulations @BexTTC finally some positive lines on this forum 😍

Ttcdcno1 · 02/05/2023 12:57

Not quite sure I’m ready to believe it yet 🥹trying not to get too carried away

@Nmmck93 @kalixxx Thank you ladies, I'm keeping everything crossed those lines get darker, I couldn't find any early response tests so I'm going to order some online and take 1 in the next couple of days and a digital at the weekend 🤞✨️

@BexTTC Ahhh amazing!! Most definitely looking good!! I have read that even though digitals say they can detect early they're not as sensitive so don't be discouraged as you're still super early! You can't argue with 4 tests all with a line though so congratulations! ✨

@Nmmck93 Still keeping everything crossed that this is your cycle but at least you know next cycle will be nice and relaxed with your holiday and plenty of opportunity to BD!

@dormicumema You're still super early so don't be discouraged. I actually had a dreaded UTI make an appearance this weekend 😭 I know how you feel, this is only cycle 5 for me but it's really hard to not feel deflated. I just keep reminding myself that most couples with conceive in a year so fingers crossed we are closer to that cycle!

@Piglet34 Keep us updated if the usual spotting makes an appearance and fingers crossed this is your cycle! Hope the rest of your TWW is nice and chill!

@Bluebell0921 Owh sorry to hear AF came! Happy Birthday for next week and it's nice to hear you got to enjoy the weekend! I'm trying to be a lot more relaxed this cycle! I think it's easier said than done though!

Here's hoping this is a month of BFP's for us all and cant wait to hear how @BexTTC gets on! ✨

@BexTTC clear blue have a 6 days early digital that might work; I seen people say they normal clear clue digitalis don't show up as quick and say not pregnant. The 6 days early on has a light that flashes once you've sampled enough urine! It looks like you are definitely pregnant with 4 positive tests. 🙈 congrats again! ✨

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 11:41

Do I get a digital for tomorrow?? I'm so anxious it's not real but that's 4 done today and all have light pink lines well within the time frame 😭

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 10:53

So I’m 12DPO today; tests up until yesterday where negative, I haven’t tested today becasue I’ve just basically told myself im out this month; just wiped and have some pinkish blood on my tissue.

AF isn’t due until Friday; could this be implantation bleeding this late after ovulation? 🙈

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 09:39

@BexTTC thank you, just joined! 💜
Keep updated with your testing, excited for you 👶🏻

@BexTTC no way really? Thank you for that, I was researching and didn't see that you had to stop once you got the positive ovulation test lol 🙈 no, I'll need to go search up on Facebook for it. If there's a certain one I have to join just send me the name and I'll join it asap lol!

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 09:32

@Nmmck93 I legit only took 1 and got my positive ovulation test and once you get that you have to stop, fingers crossed Maca works for you! Did you join the FB group? Really good support and advice on there as well 💕

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 09:26

@BexTTC awww congratulations then! Over the moon for you!
Aw that's our plan for this month, I've all my AF symptoms who is due to show her face this weekend.
You tried Macca root didn't you? Did you just continue that after ovulation? I'm hoping mines is here within the next few days 🙈

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 09:24

@Nmmck93 it's definitely pink, I'm going to take another later and I'll definitely update you, honestly we just BD everyday leading up to and after...which isn't always great after 11pm finishes at work but we made it happen lol, I've also felt less stressed I think this cycle

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 09:18

@BexTTC oooooh, I don't want to prematurely wish you congrats, but that looks like a Congratulations is in order! 💜 keep testing and keep us updated. Hoping that's a positive because it looks like colour to it 🤞🏻

Did you do anything different this cycle, any tips lol?

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 09:16

I'm 8dpo today, I took a test 'just in case' this popped up before the test had finished, I'm hoping it's not a false positive and I'll test again a bit later but 🤞🤞🤞

Bluebell0921 · 01/05/2023 14:09

@kalixxx hello lovely. AF came yesterday but trying to stay positive. I enjoyed some wine and it’s my birthday next week so would’ve been difficult to hide pregnancy from family and friends. I think I’d got a bit stressed last month so really going to try and be a bit more relaxed with it this month. i haven’t tried the things you mentioned, you’ll have to let me know how you get in with them.

BexTTC · 01/05/2023 13:30

@kalixxx I'm 7 DPO today, feel OK except for really bad cramps and backache, keeping everything crossed 🤞🤞 I've looked at both but I've heard they're very liquidity and messy which puts me off tbh lol

@Nmmck93 Yay I'm glad you're trying the maca root, a holiday is a definitely a good place for lots of BD 🙈

I hope I'm not the only one who's a bit of a prepper lol I keep buying super cheap bundles of baby clothes on vinted, got 21 babygrows/onesies 90% brand new for £6! Love a bargain lol

✨️ Baby dust to everyone ✨️
