Just started to feel period pains ;(

[johnandkymberley]

Hi all, title says it really!!
I'm f*#%!?g gutted!! I really don't think I can deal with it, we have been trying for a month and I know it's stupid to feel like this but I can't help it! I feel like I'm a failure...AND I have no chocolate in the house!!!!
Sorry just needed to let off some upsetness!
Baby dust to all TTC xxxxxxx

[johnandkymberley]

Thanks orange lily, is that a forum type website?? Xx

[johnandkymberley]

Thanks Catherine, so I may be in luck?! Did you have sex on you're ovulation etc?? Xx

[1Catherine1]

I think we were DTD every other day, or at least every 3 days when we were a little tired. I didn't want to wait for ovulation and then miss our chance, anyway, I read something about quality of sperm and that lot. And apparently every other day is best when ttc.

Although, the book I was reading was written by a man

[MayimBialik]

I haven't read the rest of the thread but just wanted to reply to say the month I got pregnant I had period pains the same as usual. It ain't over til AF actually comes. Good luck!

[johnandkymberley]

Hahaha!!! Yep I read that too, although one week we did it once in 4 days rather than in 2/3 but the rest if the month it was that and it was 4 times around ovulation, 1 before, 2 during, 1 after

AF best not arrive!!!

Xxx

[johnandkymberley]

Okay everyone I have had some very light bleeding at 7 days past ovulation, when can I take a test?? Xxx

[seatfor5]

If your due Saturday really the earliest you would be likely to show anything up on a PG test would be Wed/Thursday I would say test Thursday at the earliest to save disappointment maybe wait until Friday! Tesco's test seem to be quite good and then first response but a lot more money if I were you use the cheapie until your AF is due on Saturday x It is possible to fall in your first month I have 3 ds the first was a "surprise" the second took 3 months ans the 3rd one month am now trying for my 4th and am only on cycle 2 AF arrived today x

[johnandkymberley]

Oh no seatfor5!! Fingers crossed for next month :)

I'm going to wait till sat morning I think, as hubby wants to be here too

What about the clearblue digital? The one that tells you how many weeks u are?? Xxx

[QTPie]

Relax... Honestly, you may be incredibly lucky and get pregnant in a month or two (many of my friends have, sometimes twice!), but it could be a longer hail instead...

... It took me 14 months including an early miscarriage to get pregnant with DS (now 3.25). We are now 15 months (including one very recently failed IVF cycle) TTC DC2 and still it pregnant.

Hopefully you will be a lot luckier, but you need to manage expectations armed relax. You can do everything "textbook" and it still might not work straight away I am afraid.

Good luck :)

[QTPie]

Should read "and still not pregnant"

[johnandkymberley]

Still no sign of AF don't know whether I'm going to test tmoz morning, what should I do?!? Xxx

[alicebear]

Test tomorrow! Nothing to lose apart from the cost of a test. If BFP fantastic. If BFN the games not over until AF arrives or BFP later on. BFN just means not enough Hcg in your wee for BFP so until you get a BFP or AF you just never know! My last pregnancy AF was 5 days late before my BFN became a BFP! Fingers crossed for you.

[1Catherine1]

So now I need to know, did you POAS? Any news?

[johnandkymberley]

Hahaha Catherine!!

I chickened out! But will be doing it for deffo tmoz morning. I promise! I have got a really busy weekend so tomorrows the time!! Will keep you posted xxxx

[alicebear]

Well what's the news?! Fingers crossed.

[1Catherine1]

Remember - best to test in the morning!

[Januarymadness]

First month would be very quick.. But I have to add for me implantation HURT. Like really bad period pains.

[johnandkymberley]

Yep I had pains all over last weekend-hence I posted this and thought it was my period!!!

Tested this am and was not pregnant but I'm going to buy a traditional test today as I'm nipping into boots anyway just to see if there is a faint line, digital tests are not as sensitive are they?? I've read that on loads of websites?!? Xx

[johnandkymberley]

Then if there is no sign of a positive line I will have to wait for AF then I suppose?!

[chipmonkey]

Am I the only one who noticed that FriendOfDorothy corrected OP's grammar but then said "you isn't".
Pedantry fail!

[FriendofDorothy]

Hehe no I noticed that I had done that too but thought I had got away with it!

Typing on an iPhone is a pain in the arse sometimes!!!

The difference is that I knew I had got it wrong

[alicebear]

Sorry it's BFN today but maybe just too early. Just a waiting game now for AF or test again in a few days if she doesn't turn up.

[Beccadugs]

Good luck Johnandkimberly!

I know what you mean about being totally gutted the first month you try. Although, intellectually you know it is very unlikely to happen straight away you still hope! I think when you have the first month of it not happening straight away it's like a loss of innocence.

I think after the first month it'll get easier.

[johnandkymberley]

Beccadugs I hope you are right!!! I have been and bought first response normal tests not digital and will test one of them when I get in, then if still negative which it bloody well be!!! Ill leave it a week and test again of AF isn't here!!

It's just really worried me where the slight pink blood came from as I thought that was implantation and that happened on day 8 po so it would b in the time frame???

Also noticed the grammar but too polite to say lmao!!! Xxxx

[FriendofDorothy]

How kind of you johnandkymberley

LOL LMAO.
