Hi I'm brand new to Mumsnet. I'm 26 TTC for first baby, been trying a couple of months, was on pill for 8 years before this so appreciate it will likely take some time. Found waiting for af a bit tough last month, tested a lot. I know most people have much longer waits before positive test but would love to share the journey with others. Hope this is the right forum for this!

@jadeyjade8 Congratulations!!!

So I tested this morning on a cheapie and then on a digital & was shocked (Still am!) to find that it's positive. The Digital says i'm 2-3wks & that works out right to what I thought.

Sending lots of positive thoughts out to everyone else and crossing my fingers and toes for everyone to get those BFP soon! xx

Ahhh congratulations!! How many dpo are you? I'm only 10dpo today but got my BFP yesterday on day 9. Even my digi came back positive which I was so shocked at as it wasn't an early results one!

@GHJ thanks! Excited to see everyone’s journey along. Its nice to be able to finally join in and not just lurk around 😂

we definitely wanted to wait till we got married so the ban has been lifted last week!

not in a rush but at the same time can’t wait to get pregnant and would be very lucky if we didn’t need to try very hard but who knows

now TWW and see if AF comes or not 😊

work couldn’t be in the best place as I work for a baby and maternity retailer so that discount will come handy! 😝

all the best of luck to everyone TTC!

and congrats @jadeyjade8 ! That’s quite the interesting turn of events, this psychic is good! Funny story to tell your future baby later on 😂

Hi @CatiaR welcome to the group! We weren't technically TTC to start with either (just not trying not to get pregnant anymore) but when I didn't get pregnant straight away we have been trying a bit more ttc each month. I think for us once we had decided not to prevent pregnancy anymore it was just one step away from really wanting to get pregnant asap! So used fertility app this last month and dtd especially around this time, looking as though will be negative this month so going to ovulation test next month. It's not ideal timing as my work isn't great at the moment but we will make things work and we're very excited for it to happen. Excited to see how your journey takes you x

@jadeyjade8 omg congratulations!!! Amazing news, so happy for you. I've always been dubious about psychic's but have heard of multiple women been told they were pregnant by a psychic and they were!! Was it a cb early detection because that would be accurate for 9dpo?

It was just a normal date checker cb test. It wasn't an early one which is why I'm super confused haha!

Hi everyone!

I will jump in on the thread too! First cycle for our first baby, Technically not TTC as such but not preventing it either so we shall see how long it will take before we decide to start tracking ovulation properly and all that.

The only thing we have a rough idea is when my ovulation week is and we definitely DTD aiming for that so fingers crossed 🤞

Feeling a bit crampy tummy today so who knows what it will be, normal don’t have any ovulation cramping but could be that but otherwise still TWW here.

will be looking forward to see updates from everyone 😊

@jadeyjade8 it is quite early to get a pos on a digi so you possibly have ovulated a few days early and may be more like 11-12DPO. You might find out date is corrected at your first scan.

Yeah I'm thinking that's the case x

jadeyjade8 · 16/07/2023 12:53

Is it possible that I am actually 9dpo if I've had a positive on a digital already? I have no symptoms at all and surely if I was only 9 it wouldn't be positive on a digi? Maybe I ovulated earlier

@jadeyjade8 i feel like you have to to test if the psychic said that 🙈🙈 just because I feel like we all now need to know 🙈🙈🙈

Omg omg omg! I can't actually believe it! This was the reading and these are the tests I've just done. I did the FRER first and then the others. I thought I was only 9dpo but I'm guessing I may have O'd earlier than I thought with how strong the lines are. The CB and the IC were done with the tiniest bit of wee I managed to squeeze out after I got the FRER result so I must be more than 9dpo surely! Wow, I can't believe this!
