TTC FIRST BABY - New cycle, let's go girls !

Can 100% see a line there!! Oh wow, you’ll have to test again tomorrow to see if it’s gotten any darker or try with another brand of test! Tentative congratulations 🥳 that looks positive to me, and defo not a squinter like some of the ones I’ve seen!

Hi everyone I’m 10DPO today, had BFN last night, completely stark white.
just taken this with my first wee & was in bed staring at it angry (lol) it was stark white!!!
within 3 minutes this came up and now my hearts racing….could it be a faint positive?? It looks a bit pinkish in real life. This is a clear and simple ultra early test x

God sake I am over this ttc business 😅
Soooo, my app confirmed my ovulation via BBT as CD12 (earliest I’ve ever ovulated in the full year I’ve tracked) and we didn’t start DTD until CD12 and I tried hold off until clear blue flashing smiley (which I didn’t get until CD12) so I really have no clue what’s going on, but if it was CD12 then we have next to 0 chances. I’m just confused as I didn’t get a positive LH test until CD13!!

You are so me! 😂😂😂 I’m over it already but really want a bebe now - would much rather go to Argos and click and collect!

plot twist I obviously came on my period the very next day! I genuinely think something happened I was pretty late and felt funny

i was a bit sad, we didn’t get a house the same day so it was all too much.

just finished so next week back to pee sticks! I forced my husband to speak to his gynae father who said we should be doing it as much as possible 😳 he said eggs can come at any time and the sticks are an indication but I believe in the stick so I’m ignoring him!!!

I TOTALLY agree with whoever said I’m a complete dinosaur and don’t want to do it every day, then I’ll end up with cystitis 😂 it’s soooo unromantic! Can totally see how people get preggo in the early days where you’re bonking with blatant disregard

Will limber up and go again from this weekend 🥰

Thankyou!!

hope you get your surge asap, which day is it usually? X

@slothbat
I agree it can just cause unnessassry stress but then I just love to know😂 I think I will test 2nd Nov, I am suppose to be at a brunch that day so I will check if I can drink or not but surely that would be quite accurate by then!! Maybe agree a date too? And we can try stick to it 🙈

@KT199 aw hopefully your nephew sleeps through for you. Does your bbt rise slowly after ovulation or does it jump up in one day?

My tests are back on the decline too so I reckon I’ll have either ovulated today or tomorrow at latest, BBT dependant too! 😅 although I have my 2 YO nephew tonight for the night so unsure if I’m going to sleep well so BBT may not be reliable

@Frenchtoastie I want to hold off as long as possible as I drove myself crazy last month! Will you aim to test early? Xx

Glad we are in it together!! Do you have a plan of when to test at all?
I feel very impatient 🥲

Hey! Think I'll ovulate tomorrow or Thursday so TWW will start Friday 🫠🫠🫠🫠 honestly this is so tiring 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think I’ve ovulated! My tests have started declining, and I’m having cramps!!
so if bbt has risen tomorrow I’ll be in the 2WW, anyone similar timing? X

I'm predicting peak tomorrow 😬
Started with CM today as well.

Not sure when to start DTD.
I feel a bit headachey tonight...

So below is one of the test strips? Do I go with the CB one?!

@Lila34830 good god again tomorrow 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah I was looking into it, I was logging last month on an app called Glow, I'll attach a pic of last month and you could see it increase but this month with the tests nothing?!

are these boots own brand of ovulation sticks? They gave me the faintest line and never a peak! I tried Premom and they work perfectly! Xxx

If you’ve got a solid smiley then the CB is saying the next 48hrs are your most fertile! So “peak” fertility today with the suggestion tomorrow would be ovulation day. Your choice if you go again 🤣🤣😅

@littlebluu it is so confusing! I find myself wondering each time if we’ve actually covered when needed.. and I am already reaching sex feeling like a chore at this point in my cycle. I feel like I can’t be bothered forcing it either.

@Lila34830 I wonder this too tbh. Because ovulation is 24-48 hrs (allegedly) after start of the rise and 8-20hrs after “peak”. I feel like the positive test makes you feel like you have to start with DTD.. but I’m certain last 2 months we’ve not timed it correctly and by time it comes to peak we’re all out of steam and the “product” from my OH is probably next to nothing and useless for peak and ovulation day. I wanted to wait it out a little more this month and typically.. I had “peak” yesterday when we’d already DTD the day before. My temps haven’t changed as though I’m going to ovulate, my surge was really short and I have no clue what’s going on 🤣

Hi all! Just catching up on posts now! God this is hard isn't it! Hope your all feeling ok.

I was testing my OPK with strip tests from poundland .... thought today I'd get the clear blue one and straight away got my solid smiley face! Going to do one the strip tests in a bit to see if they are a dud pack! So someone tell me ... when do I now need to DTD - done it every day since Saturday, including today. Do I need to do it again tomorrow? 🫠🫠🫠🫠
