TTC - First time!

[mrsjkerry]

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!

Morning all

11DPO here and not much to report. Still getting nausea (but I had some in my first cycle too), am a little more tired than usual, and had stitch-like pains low down in my abdomen on 9DPO but nothing since. No other symptoms currently, either pre-AF or otherwise.

AF due tomorrow/Tuesday according to a 12-day luteal phase, but that would only make this cycle 25 days, so I'm not too sure whether to trust that? Does your LP definitely not change? Previous cycles have all been around the 28 day mark, but I did ovulate early on CD13 this month.

Morning TTC. Have you taken a pregnancy test?? I would have done so by now!

I haven't yet mrsj just because I found it much worse seeing a BFN the previous two cycles than I did AF actually coming. I think I'll test on Tuesday if AF hasn't arrived by then, but I'd like to hold out until Wednesday really!

Good morning ladies!

So there I was thinking my body was finally getting into some sort of rhythm.

I got my first positive OPK on Saturday PM (blazing confirmed by static smiley on a clearblue dual hormone). The lines have got very slightly lighter since then but still very very positive (much darker than control line), have tested twice a day up to this morning.

I was really hoping it would be fading by now! It's getting exhausting BDing and even OH had to be convinced yesterday.

Has anyone experienced prolonged LH surges or blaringly positive OPKs? Any advice whether I should continue BD?

I had this happen last month and I was pregnant but there's absolutely no way I can be pregnant yet. Not enough to register on anything yet anyway.

Why is nothing simple with me?!! Any advice would be much appreciated! I'm now worried as I'm on a late shift we can't BD tonight and worried I'll still miss ovulation!

Thankyou ladies! Hope everyone is well!

Have you done a test yet?! Waiting with crossed fingers!!

TTC - any news!!

Claire - I have no idea. I've always struggled to get a positive! 100% can't be pregnant again? Have you googled this question? Are the lines actually as dark as each other? Are you testing first thing in the morning? I always get positives first thing...I believe they are false.

As for me, AF ends today. So on to a new cycle! Anyone with me??

Mrsjkerry

All second urine or later, only possible way I could be pregnant Is if I ovulated a few days after the miscarriage bleeding stopped. Lines 100% darker than the control (see pics, the top is sat morning and the bottom is today's). Tried Google and nothing really except suggesting PCOS which I definitely don't have!

Sorry to hear it's a new cycle for you Fx for March!

MrsJKerry

Totally read that wrong. Glad AF is gone! But still Fx for March! Still half asleep and baffled by rogue OPKS!!

Claire the first thing I was going to say was are you 100% sure you can't already be pregnant! I know it seems unlikely that you'd ovulate so early, but it looks like you're following the same pattern you did last time? Massive fx for a lucky BFP! If not, I would just carry on BD'ing when you can until they start to fade again. You know you can get pregnant so maybe you do just have a long LH surge for some reason? Ttc is just so confusing isn't it, who designed the whole process, someone sack them .

Claire and mrsj no news yet (12DPO today). This will probably out me but never mind... I'm putting off testing because it's my birthday tomorrow! DH and I are going away for it later today (Prague - can't wait!) and I've packed the tests (along with tampons that I'm so hoping I don't have to use!). My dilemma is if I test tomorrow I could possibly get the best birthday present ever, but then I could also get the worst if it's a BFN and ruin the trip for myself in the process . Really don't know what to do!

My sister just got back from Prague and said she had the best time! Enjoy. It seems well timed to take your mind off things .

You've just jogged my memory about last time. It does seem to correlate to what happened with the OPK'S. And you're right I know I can conceive. We're gonna give BD a miss tonight (were both exhausted) and I'm going to lock the OPKS away! I have one of those sweet boxes with a timer on. I'll replace the sweets with anything I can pee on 😂 just means I'll eat all the chocolate!

Keeping everything massively crossed for you!

Oh and *TTC
*
I would save a test for when you get back from Prague. No point upsetting yourself before you go away! Enjoy it and have the test to look forward to when you get home

Thanks claire I think that's what I'll do! I can stay in my little bubble of hope for a bit longer that way . All depending on whether AF keeps away of course! Let's hope she's in on the plan!

Having to eat allllll the chocolate has got to be a good trade off for not peeing on anymore sticks surely?! Enjoy that .

Hey girls! Hope you're all well!
So last day of af for me, fw starts Sunday! Back on the horse! The metaphorical one that is... although hubs does like to think he's a bit of a stallion 😂😂😂
Bring on a valentines conception!!😍

Just an update...

OPK this evening is very dark but no longer positive. Phew!

Do I count myself as in the two week wait from yesterday today or tomorrow? (First positive Friday, last this AM)

Thanks ladies!!

Ps. I'm doing a very good job at eating all the chocolate!!

Claire - id do it from today now if you had a positive yday. Did you ever even do a pregnancy test ?

Mrsjkerry

I did a cheapie that came with my OPK'S and that was negative so I think I just had a long surge in the end!

OK here goes the two week wait..... I know I'm gonna be a terribly symptom spotter 😂

Yeh I am also a symptom spotter! AF fully gone now so we jumped back in immediately and DTD tonight 😄 husband said to do it everyday this month...let's see how we get on!!

MrsJk I'm the same! Af finished today just about and we dtd this morning 😂 when does your fw start? Mine is the 12th (or the 16th) Ovia and Clue both say different! So just gonna go for it this month and hope for the best lol x

Hi everyone

Claire good news about the negative OPK! Although it feels strange to say that haha!

Happy BD'ing mrsj and misty!

Quick update before I go to bed (we're an hour later than home now in Prague and not long got here so I'm knackered!). I brought the tests with me a FRER and a two pack of Asda's own. Determined not to do them though!

Still no AF so far (nor any signs) but will see in the morning! Night all x

TTC

Sounds promising! Now go and enjoy Prague and no peeing on anything!

AF arrived this morning not so happy birthday to me

Sorry to hear that ttc

Hope you are doing something today to keep your mind off it

Hey girlies, how are you all doing?
My af is over now, I'm on CD6 and looking forward to my fw starting on 12th!
Is anyone else around the same timings as me?x

Misty

I'm in my first ever (that i've known about) two week wait! Currently 3dpo. It's painful not knowing what's going on and that there's nothing you can do about it!

Symptoms so far are light pink spotting, sore nipples, thick white clumpy cm (sorry TMI!) and odd cramping. I'm sure it's all normal cycle changes but I'm more aware now!

Good luck for your FW. Definitely seems the most fun week out of the whole ttc cycle 😂
