Hello there

Is there anyone else on here trying for their first baby around the same age as me? 25/26? Would love to talk to someone about it as I am currently driving my husband mad with all the TTC chat!

Thanks everyone by the way... Much appreciated :)

Huge congratulations Claire. A lot of baby dust here this last month so fx for those of us yet to get a BFP

Twistedsister7 · 04/01/2017 10:00

I caved & poas yesterday afternoon & bfn. It's way to early. AF not til 10th, and it wasn't even FMU.

I just feel different this time with weird pain & cramps. Incredibly sore boobs. Dizziness. Weepiness. The list goes on. It's not normal for me before AF so part of me is thinking maybe this is it but part of me I saying don't get your hopes up.

I pledge not to test until Saturday at least. Then a FRER should work. I would be 8/9DPO & 3 days before AF. Is that crazy? I'd just rather find out on a weekend rather than before work.

How's everyone else feeling? xx

mrsjkerry · 04/01/2017 10:52

AF not due for me until 8th and all pregnancy tests negative. Feeling pretty rubbish!! And fed up!!

Sorry to hear that MrsJ. I'll be keeping my fx for you over the weekend. xx

Pinkbottletop · 04/01/2017 12:14

Congrats Claire!!

AF due on the 9th for me. Started feeling quite sick today and had sore breasts but I read into all symptoms before and it turned out to all be in my head. Not going to test this time until if I miss my AF on Monday. I can wait 5 days!

itsjustme2017 · 05/01/2017 05:38

hello lovelys,

im currently on a nightshift over thinking and driving myself crazy.

I am in serious need of help and advice, I have posted before but never seemed to find my post again to hear what was replied, (I hope this is not a repeat lol). ive been ttc my first baby for 6 nearly 7 months with no result and its absolutely killing me, I feel like im never going to have a baby and its bringing me down like you wouldn't believe, I try to 'forget' about getting pregnant but if you've been in this position yourself you will know it is not that bloody easy!!

okay so I have regular sex and continue to have regular periods im pretty sure im calculating everything correctly, I am due on my period this Friday (tomorrow) and ive just started getting very mild cramping ive been very windy recently too (not convenient lol) even though im getting cramps could I still be pregnant? I took a test and OBVIOUSLY it was only one little line and im still longing to see 2 of the buggers!!!!

so all im asking is for any advice you would be kind enough to give me on hurrying up the process to start a family of my own, im not sure how many more negative tests its going to take until I loose my mind.

thanks girls, and please tell me all you know!!

chow for now!!!!

Hello itsjustme. I also started to try back in September, which means it's been four months for me. It's so frustrating isn't it? They say most within 6-7 months and only start to worry if nothing happens after a year - so don't panic yet!! Though your symptoms are interesting so maybe try a clearblue digital if your period doesn't come.

Do you use any apps? Have you got OPKs? I want to get it right this month too...my period also due today or tomorrow!

hi mrsjkerry!!

isn't it just!! im starting to get so wound up, im on a night shift and the moment and keep running to the loo to see if ive come on or not, and because I haven't I need to try and not get my hopes up!! all I think is my partner is shooting blanks lol! I had a app that I swore by I loved it but got to wound up of not being pregnant and thought it was best to delete..

is this your first child? I hope all goes well for you and keep me updated! if you have any tips please feel free to tell me xx

Twistedsister7 · 06/01/2017 19:02

Guys, advice please. Tomorrow I will be 8 dpo. Ovia says 4 days until I should test & AF due 10th. I tested last night & bfn. I'm crazy to test fmu tomorrow right. I use FRERs which I know can test 6 days early so yesterday's test makes me think I'm out.

I've felt awful this week too.

88claire · 06/01/2017 19:04

Twistedsister

You're not out! I tested for ages... Loads of BFN and gave up. Tested a week later and a blaring positive! Some people's hormones take longer. I found a clearblue to be more sensitive in the earlier stages if I'm honest!

Good luck!!

88claire · 08/01/2017 10:47

Any news? Fx for you!

ttcnovice · 08/01/2017 14:52

Hi everyone I lost this thread for a while!

How's everyone getting on?

I didn't manage to see a positive OPK this month, whether that's because I didn't ovulate at all or I missed the surge (I wasn't as obsessive with them this time!) I'm not sure! If I did ovulate and it was at a similar time to last month, I'm around 7DPO now so it's a wait and see I think! Been DTD almost everyday so you never know.

AF is due on the 13th for me now, anyone else testing around then?

Pinkbottletop · 08/01/2017 17:40

I'm due AF tomorrow. So if I will probably test Tuesday morning if it doesn't show

mrsjkerry · 08/01/2017 19:51

AF just finished. Fingers crossed for my 5th cycle 🙄

ttcnovice · 08/01/2017 20:31

Hope AF doesn't make an appearance tomorrow in that case pink - sending positive vibes to you!

Sorry mrsj Sad Fx for lucky number 5!

Wow pink congrats! Amazing news! Did you have any symptoms?

Pinkbottletop · 09/01/2017 13:43

Very very sore boobs and mood swings but I wasn't sure if PMS or not. Last month I symptom watched and then AF came. This month I didn't and today is first day of missed AF and I tested at lunch and got this. On hold to my doctors now to confirm!

88claire · 10/01/2017 15:30

Congratulations Pinkbottletop!

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 15:46

That's great pink maybe it was your new relaxed approach that gave you the edge?! I'm going to follow in your footsteps in the hope that it was Grin

Twistedsister7 · 10/01/2017 16:20

Sorry been awol. Af came 2 days early, the witch. Fed up & trying to relax. Onto cycle 3.

Congrats pink xx

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 16:31
