Hey! newbie here,

LittleLS TTC#1 cycle 1 due 18th august

today is CD33 for me (36 day cycle) OD+10, having very noticable lower left abdo cramping, and bloating overnight (i work nightshift so been awake for aaaaages!) keeping my fingers crossed i have beginners luck, had a BFN 2 days ago - hoping it was just too early to test. Grin

GinandStripes · 14/08/2013 07:04

Whoopsie, forgot to come in here and confirm that old AF did arrive on Monday - one day early! The little rotter, but I was expecting it so not sad at all.

I'll jump on the September bus and as that is my birthday month, I've got high hopes for it.

Good Luck to everyone peeing on sticks Thanks

ItalianWiking84 · 14/08/2013 07:13

Monstamio true, thanks :) My AF/BFP is due Friday, so should just wait for Friday and what happens there... It was just because some reviews stated that Tescos own could detect it from 4 days before so I tried... Hope it was the test who just didn't were sensitive enough

Tea1Sugar · 14/08/2013 07:17

Not over til Af arrives English Smile fwiw, I got my bfp yesterday when Af was 2 days late and I still have barely no symptoms, but I did cry at deal or no deal Blush

englishteacher78 · 14/08/2013 07:22

Just frustrated now as have a beer festival to go to on Friday and would like to know whether I can have a drink or not! Going to test again Friday if still no AF. It would be typical of me to have my first randomly late period in my first month of TTC. AF is usually early if it's not on due date. Confused

ItalianWiking84 · 14/08/2013 07:39

Thanks tea that is assuring me a bit :) Better hide the other testers lol and first get them out next week... Hope AF stays away....
I only have some cramps now and then and I am so tired and hungry all the time, lol :)
English do hope for you that you will have some kind of answer Friday, not funny to be in a limbo....

cheesysmile · 14/08/2013 07:44

Three feeling like that is horrible, I hope you feel a bit better this morning after some sleep Flowers

I know its sometimes a difficult thing to talk about, but perhaps you need to sit down with your DP outside of the bedroom and explain to him how you're feeling. He might have things on his mind too. Hope you get things sorted.

Vikkijayne2507 · 14/08/2013 07:49

Sorry to hear that three, I understand your rant and frustration.

Hi imaginary the news feels a bit bizzare still and drs wont see me until I miss my second period which is 2 weeks so I guess until ive heard it from them It desnt seem real.

More BFPs ladies is what I want to see. Smile

cheesysmile · 14/08/2013 07:51

Sounds like there are a few maybes out there this morning ... exciting times, keep us posted!

Don't think I've ovulated yet as temp still low this morning. CD 23 today for me but messed up cycle after mc so prob doesn't mean much. Dtd last night, think will need to use all my powers of persuasion if going to dtd again tonight two days in a row Wink

armywag21 · 14/08/2013 07:57

Sorry your having a bad time three Sad hope things get back on track for you

I feel the need to rant this morning.. My best mate of 16 years texted me saying she didn't know how to tell me but she's pregnant.. After 2 months of trying. Was it bad of me to cry for a minute or so after? I am so happy for her tho, this is her 2nd and I'm so excited. It just felt like a punch in the face for a bit after. I spoke to my family how it made me feel and I just got rubbish off of them.. 'Stop being so stupid' and 'why you getting upset over your friends pregnancy that's ridiculous' I suppose they don't understand how it feels to have infertility problems but a bit of trying to understand wouldn't go a miss. Dp is worried it's going to be rubbed in our faces, even he's feeling the emotion of not being able to conceive. Sorry for the long post but I'm just feeling a bit crap today.

englishteacher78 · 14/08/2013 08:01

Given how annoyed I'm feeling if I multiple that by a lot I think I might get close to understanding.
I think it's a perfectly natural response myself. Even before trying to conceive I found the Jeremy Kyle accidental first time pregnancies made me feel jealous.
On the other hand I also worry about telling one of my friends if I get pregnant she really struggled - but has just been approved to adopt two lovely little girlsGrin

I tested this morning with cb digital bfn.af was due yesterday and I'm never late.I'm just gutted. I was meant to test with first wee of the day but I missed it, so was second wee. is a superdrug test more sensitive? should I test again later today or wait till tomorrow/Friday?

Yay! for all the new bfps!!

I've had a mental week with a sick husband and a sick dog, surely it's my turn to be sick and get pampered? Not fair.

impatientlywaiting · 14/08/2013 08:56

Sorry to hear what you've been going through Three, I had no idea how stressful TTC would be, and we are only in month three.

I echo what someone else said, try and have a conversation about it when you aren't attempting to DTD, and find out from him what he thinks is wrong.

impatientlywaiting · 14/08/2013 08:58

Armywag I totally understand how you feel. I think it's natural to be able to have 2 emotions running parallel - happy for them, but a sense of its not fair, why is it so hard for me.

You're going through a really hard time. I think unless you've gone through it you can't really understand, so your friends and family are probably genuinely confused. Feel free to rant here anytime you want.

snoozysleeper · 14/08/2013 09:02

Congratulations to all BFPs Smile

three I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time, I agree that talking with your dp is the way forward

armywag I'm sure your feelings are normal really just not often voiced... Your family are probably trying to spur you on and don't want to see you downhearted

On a separate note I randomly checked out the July thread and there were 23 BFPs Shock at the end so here's hoping this bus can do it too.... Good luck to everyone waiting

ItalianWiking84 · 14/08/2013 09:02

Springtime26 I would wait for tomorrow or Friday and use FMU :)

Springtime26 · 14/08/2013 09:04

thanks,. what does FMU stand for?

snoozysleeper · 14/08/2013 09:09

First morning urine I believe Smile

armywag21 · 14/08/2013 09:28

Thanks for the support everyone. I know my family are genuinely sad for me but they are a hard faced bunch sometimes lol

I'm gonna bite the bullet and start my 2ww from today. I haven't had anymore ewcm since Monday so I'm taking it as I ov'd then or yesterday.. That's if I did actually managed to ov. Keeping my fingers crossed and staying positive.

ItalianWiking84 · 14/08/2013 09:32

First morning urine...

ArmyLovin · 14/08/2013 09:33

I've changed my name slightly aswel Wink

ItalianWiking84 · 14/08/2013 09:36

All my pregnancy tests requires the use of first morning urine, so that is why I only use that, otherwise I will feel that I wasted the money on them
