TTC Feb 2023

@Tryingtobe123 ohh that's very interesting. I've had some mild cramping today and now tonight I'm feeling nauseous, slightly congested and have a lot of wind 🙄🙄 could just be pre af lol!!

@Strawb28 i was just very very bloated and really crampy. Didn’t have this before with my first though so this was definitely different!

@smldnlove no sign of aunt flo yet or any spotting! I'm 8DPO and CD24 according to my app. My last three cycles have been 26,25 and 24 days but before that they were 27!! App says period in 3 days so I took a frer today but BFN.. Will try again in 2 days! Hope you are doing well. Sometimes being spontaneous is best 😘

Congrats @Tryingtobe123 what were the main things you spotted (if any) before your BFP?

@Wright31 how long is your luteal phase? Mine has been getting a bit shorter also and a good bit of early spotting :/

so i had my early cycle bloods done and all has come normal and fine so have the progesterone test ina few days, but we’ve still gone ahead and tried this month! i’ve been reading up a lot about real experience of short luteal phase rather than just what google says and it seems it is not necessarily a problem. so feeling good and positive! i’m 2dpo :) how are you getting on?

@Wright31 How are you feeling now a few days post ovulation? Are you feeling confident about this cycle? Also what was the outcome from your tests and appointments?!?!

@GeekyMina Sorry you feel that way! Not our intention at all but no need for that we all make mistakes and get carried away on threads. Never mind!

Hi everyone! Great to be back on the thread!!
Great to see everyone is in good places too and cracking on with the TTC journey! And some exciting BFP too @Tryingtobe123!!

Doing well! We’ve said we won’t try now until May cycle because of the wedding in June. However ended up DTD today LOL, technically I am CD12 and not at my peak yet (usually around CD14-16) and all my apps are low chance today so it was more just being spontaneous. We’re also so ready now so it’s hard!

@Strawb28 Lovely to see your name pop up! How has today been? Any signs of AF? Are you doing anything different this cycle?

@Wright31 yes I definitely will stick around to see you all get your BFPs!!! So weird how I was saying to my boyfriend the other day I just know I’m pregnant haha I’m so so so bloated I actually look 5 months already 🤯 I’ve heard that happens with your 2nd though just praying everything goes okay!

How's everyone doing now?? I'm officially 7dpo again. No symptoms at all, I usually start spotting 8 or 9dpo for my period so I'm praying that doesn't happen this month. Hope everyone is OK! Xx

ahhh it’s so exciting! so thrilled for you! shame about the sickness but all worth it!!

of course, hang around! i will keep you all updated 🥹

@Wright31 currently laying on the sofa feeling very very sick. Tests are getting darker now so it’s very much happening eek can I stay on this thread though so I can see how all you ladies get on! 😂🙏🏼

@GeekyMina no one intentionally ignored you, just missed your post i think. the only hurtful message on this thread is calling us uneducated haha. i understand this is a stressful and worrying time, but as you say we are all in the same boat, so no accusations or insults please! this is a safe and friendly space for women going through the same thing to support one another. if you feel you’d rather talk somewhere else then of course do! but this has so far been a wonderfully supportive thread so im sure you’d find some comfort here too. just repost your message rather than calling everyone out 🤍

@Tryingtobe123 any update?? how are you feeling??

@smldnlove how are you getting on? what CD are you on now? are you leaving it this cycle?

im on 1dpo! so let’s seeeee…

@GeekyMina i don’t think anyone has intentionally ignored your posts? I certainly haven’t. I only joined recently and didn’t scroll right back to all the previous comments - I just saw the thread title and joined. I think going out of your way to call everyone uneducated is a little bit more hurtful than people accidentally missing your posts. We’re all busy, for example I have my own business and also a 2 year old at home. If I look at the comments on here it’s the most recent ones unless someone tags me.

I really don’t think anyone has intended to be hurtful towards you.

So sad this chat used to be so inclusive and all new posters are deliberately ignoring my posts. You women are extremely hurtful, we're all on the same boat and even after being longer here, you plain ignore my posts. That's so rude to say the least, time to find more educated people in some other thread.

@Wright31 sorry forgot to answer I was about 10/11 DPO with my first

@Wright31 according to the app im 4 days away from AF! But I do ovulate early so I’d probably start seeing signs of my period round about now!

ahhh congratulations! sorry just catching up! this looks incredibly positive!!! such great news!

how many dpo were you when you got your bfp first? would you still not be due on AF yet?

Took a non sensitive first response this morning thought it was the 6 days before period ones but I got the wrong ones!!! Showed up straight away. I had a chemical pregnancy before my little boy so I’ll always be paranoid that they’re indents/not getting darker but I think they are. Sorry to keep posting but you ladies have been so reassuring I know these are hard to see when you’re trying so I appreciate you all!

@smldnlove yeah it is darker than yesterdays I think! So that’s good news. My period is due in 5 days so I think I’ll do one then! I did get some first response so I might do one tomorrow morning

Still looks very positive to me!! Maybe just taking a while for your HCG levels to rise! Are you going to do a clear blue? @@Tryingtobe123

@smldnlove this is todays not sure what to think!

I can definitely see something! Congratulations @Tryingtobe123 !! First positive for our little section of the thread! Definitely test in a few days too? Or even today what’s your test looking like?

I can see something on your 2nd test. Looks like there is colour to it but id give it another 2-3 days before testing again @Tryingtobe123

@smldnlove
well I caved and just did another hahaha

could it be an indent though?

@smldnlove im not doing to do another one until Friday now 😂 I just found one of these ones in the bathroom cabinet last night then caved in this morning

Hi @Tryingtobe123 oooooo can you do another test?! How many DPO are you now? So exciting!

That test is fair away and in a difficult light to see so maybe send another? Can you try on a clear blue?
