TTC #1 thread 1 2019

[Waiting2bMum]

Hi Ladies,

Thought it would be good to start a 2019 support thread for all of us who are trying to conceive. Any one welcome, please join!
I will start:
Age: 26
TTC: baby no.1
Trying: 20 cycles with 2 chemical pregnancies
Currently: 2 ww, due on tomorrow with negative HPT's so far

Would be great to hear your stories and support each other along the way. Wishing you all baby dust☺️💐xx

@MrsE95 aww thank you! I really hope so too for me and for all of us on here!🥰🥰
@Abzi91 yes keep testing a few times a day so you can see the line develop darker. Fingers crossed it will be soon. Here are my tests from yesterday and today. Just done another one and it's really light now but my urine was like water so maybe because of that. I'm feeling hopeful for my cycle number 21🙈🙈

Only thing I have no EWCM at all?🤔🤔

FX it's a good sign for us @Sienna9522 my cycles are also 27days but ovulated late this cycle so think AF might be late too due anywhere from 25th to the 30th

What are we thinking ladies, is this a positive OPK?

Also @waiting2bmum I don’t particularly have any EWCM and never usually do? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Strange!

@MrsE95 hahaha love it how we both stick our wee sticks on paper!!😂😂I would say your very very very close!

@MrsE95 looks very promising! Get DTD and good luck 😊

Well I’ve only just done it now @waiting2bmum you inspired me. 😂😂 I’m going to hold out an hour or so before going to bed and do another one and hopefully it’s even darker! 🤞

@MrsE95 hahaha love it!🙌🏻🙌🏻I can feel it in my waters we are both falling pregnant🤞🏻🤞🏻I like doing that because I can see the difference. My one from 19:15 was looking like it was getting darker did one at 20:30 and barely a line but my wee was like water so maybe why x

Yes I can feel it too @waiting2bmum ! Yeah I did that but just on some tissue then found an old scrap book I hadn’t used and thought I’d use it for my pee sticks. 😂 really need a wee now and trying to hold it. 😬😬😬

@MrsE95 haha on a bit of tissue🙈🙈hold it as long as you can. I will try another before I go to bed hopefully will be darker again x

You guys are so much more organised than I am @Waiting2bMum @MrsE95 I've only done it once a day.. need to step my game up from tomorrow I think. Will try and take some throughout the day! My one from today is darker than yesterday's though so fingers crossed!

Ovulation day seems close for you both! Enjoy!! 😊😉❤️

My CM (sorry TMI!) just seems to be creamy at first and then watery throughout the day? 🤔🤔

@Abzi91 iv had nearly two years of practicing😂😂only been doing this a few cycles though. Yeah you deffo need to test more through the day. Don't apologies we can never have TMI to share, I think that's a good sign especially so close to ovulation. I don't have any this time round don't know whether it will affect anything x

So I entered this cycle with ‘I’m cool, I’ll just dtd every other day (ha!) and we’ll see how things go’ to ‘well bbt sounds interesting, I’m just getting to know my body that’s all...ooo well that one comes with free OPKs anyway’.... and I’m still only half way through this cycle but convinced myself it’s not happening this month 😂🙈

So, for next month, does anyone have any experience of taking bbt when you already have a toddler (or are an insomniac) where an unbroken four hour sleep before taking your temp is the impossible dream?? Will it just make going down this route a waste of time or can you still get helpful results? Thanks for any help ladies!

Hi @TheatreMumma welcome☺️sorry not sure if you have posted on here before, can't keep up. I don't bbt so can't help you there, lots of lovely ladies on here that do so sure they will help you soon x

Woke up this morning and done a couple of OPK and they are getting darker and I also have a pulling feeling right side of my pelvis so hopefully that's a good sign☺️🤞🏻

Hi ladies, back on here to vent! I am now 4 days late...would have thought this could have finally been my month if it wasn't for all the BFN's i have been seeing the past week. Surely if I was pregnant i would have definitely come up by now?!

I'm on CD32. Maybe I just ovulated a lot later this month (typical the first month I decide not to use opks and just 'relax!). Just so frustrating...would even be happy for AF to arrive now so I can get on with new cycle but being in limbo is just getting on my nerves! Sorry for the rant but this is the only place I can get it off my chest.

So sorry it’s been so frustrating @liveinhope100. The waiting and unknown is awful, isn’t it? Keeping everything crossed for late ov and that’s it’s just too early for a positive 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Not over till it’s over 💚

@liveinhope100 wondered where you got too! What tests are you using?? And maybe to high to detect as levels still might be low and especially if you've ovulated late x

Thank you @TheatreMumma and yes the waiting is torture! Appreciate the support though and good luck in getting your BFP this cycle.

@Waiting2bMum I am using the internet cheapies. They are really sensitive (10miU) so unfortunately it's not that. If I ovulated later this cycle I probably missed it as the last time i DTD was CD16 so BFP probably would have shown up by now..........(well I actually DTD the day before my expected AF but that was pointless as definitely wouldn't be ovulating then!). Basically I'm 99.9% percent sure i'm not pregnant and i'm sick of seeing BFN's everyday! Just need AF to show so I can get on with my next cycle. Thanks for listening to my rant though it's just so nice sharing with people that understand. I see you are gearing up to ovulation soon so good luck, hope this is your month!

Hi 👋🏻

Hoping I can join in!

Age: 28
TTC: We've said we're not 'not' trying- came off microgynon in November

I think my AF is due on Tuesday (coming) but I don't feel right at all- have felt really nauseous past couple of days with sore boobs and now I've got a dull cramping pain.

Did a first response this morning which was negative! Looking forward to supporting each other xx

@liveinhope100 I know how you feel it is so frustrating but hold on for a while try not to get too stressed as you ain't out until AF shows. It may still be too low and I don't think the internet cheapies are as good. Do you have a frer?? Fingers crossed for you! And yes we are all in this together. Yeah I thought I had a positive yesterday, all test since had faded but just did another OPK so looks like I maybe getting to peak? What do you think?

@Waiting2bMum it's funny as i literally sent that post i've got stomach cramps so AF is definitely coming but it's okay I'm ready for her. Will do a FRER in a few days if not! And yes it looks like you are reaching peak (I saw the pics from your others too and this line is much stronger!). I actually use CB digital opk tests which make it a bit easier for me to read as it gives a big solid smiley when I've reached peak ovulation but I actually have never worked out the exact day I ovulate so I'm going to try BBT next cycle. I saw in an earlier message you don't do this, I'm guessing the strips work well for you in pinpointing ovulation? Do you use anything else to try and help ttc? I use preseed but that's about it!

@liveinhope100 that was literally me in my cycle in limbo for nearly 2 weeks it’s awful! Hopefully either AF or a pos would show soon! 🤞🤞

Hey @rodgers2017! That all sounds promising but it might still be too early to show yet leave a couple of days and test again perhaps?

I think I have confirmed my LH surge and I’m so excited. 🙈 so if my surge was late yesterday than that would make me be physically ovulating at some point today right? So far no ov systems as such. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Perhaps I just won’t get any 🙈

@waiting2bmum how you getting on with your OPKs?

Symptom spotting like mad today. I’ve gone crazy already! 😩 Cramps and watery CM. AF due in 9 days.

Well, AF just appeared and i'm really not upset this time, just happy i'm onto a new cycle now. First month I'm going to be trying soy isoflavones so fingers crossed it does some magic.

@MrsE95 Looks like you are around ovulation time! Good luck :)

@liveinhope100 hopefully it isn't coming! Fingers crossed AF stays away, cramps for AF and early pregnancy can feel the same so hopefully you HCG isn't high enough yet. Yeah I did used to use the digitals but found the top expensive especially as I'm on cycle 21 now. I also like to see the line develop and pin point the date rather that see a flashing smiley face. And yeah iv used preseed twice, that's when I got my 2 BFP at one July and one November. Used it last night also, and will the next few nights too. Just done another OPK and it's lighter again now🤔x
Hi @Rodgers2017 welcome☺️supporting each other is what we do best👍🏻fingers crossed keep us posted!🤞🏻
Ooooohhh@MrsE95 yours for yesterday look good!! Getting him now😂😂yeah apparently 12-36 hours after a positive? Well had a good dark one at lunch now it's faded again!! I put a pic of my lunch time one further down👇🏻
@Sienna9522 spotting😮😮that's a good sign. How much and what colour?? X

@MrsE95 replied below didn't tag👇🏻
