Anyone trying to get that BFP and want to join me on the journey?

Hi everyone!

My partner and I decided to start trying for our first very recently and I came off the pill on the 17th of march. I had a withdrawal bleed the very next day which lasted a good 5 days and since then I've had no period since. I've done a couple of tests, one being today, which we're all BFN.

Driving myself a little crazy about it if I'm honest.

Good luck to you all x

Hi @Louise190 and @Rodgers19

I'm trying for my first too! It's all new and exciting then when it doesn't happen straight away you're like, oh 🙄

I'm still feeling exhausted. Waiting for next weekend to do a test if AF doesn't show up before then!

Fingers crossed for you all ladies.

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 28/04/2019 15:42

Back to the drawing bored for me :( af started this morning

Sorry to hear @LITTLEPICKLES88

Try not to be too disappointed. You just have to keep thinking it will happen when it's supposed to happen x

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 28/04/2019 16:55

Thank you @Samantha11K ❤️❤️

@Samantha11K it's a torturous rollercoaster, isn't it!

Samantha11K · 28/04/2019 17:20

@Louise190 it really is! Everyone says just relax but it's impossible isn't it?

I'm trying a different approach to it all now. I was getting to the point where I was planning my life around possibly being pregnant and I've realised I can't do that.
Any symptoms I'm feeling I'm brushing them off as period due symptoms. Obviously I can't wait to get those two little lines but it's so out of my control so I'm just concentrating on keeping myself healthy and happy 😊

Cheyanne101 · 28/04/2019 17:28

Hi everyone, may i join. TTC
Very confused or im very stupid. But i cant pin point the correct ovulation date. My period tends to last an average 26 days with the last two being 25 day cycle. Got AF today. I have two apps flo and ovia and both totally different dates! We plan to try in may and now im nervous that we will miss our windows! Any advice welcome x

Louise190 · 28/04/2019 17:44

@Samantha11K oh god, I bet that was torture! I have some things planned that I am hoping to be pregnant for just so I can get out of them

I am so impatient and absolutely HATE the not knowing. I am absolutely a planner so this is driving me insane! X

Rodgers19 · 28/04/2019 18:42

Hey everyone!

Sorry to hear af has reared her ugly head @LITTLEPICKLES88 I kinda wish she would visit me now just so I can start again if you know what I mean. I've not had any symptoms until today really, I've got a very upset stomach but still lot sure what's going on.

Hope everyone is getting on okay!

Rodgers19 · 28/04/2019 18:46

Also... @louse190 I like your approach! I'm going to stop thinking about it and concentrate on me! Thank you!!

Samantha11K · 28/04/2019 18:52

Hi @Cheyanne101

I'm not going by when I ovulate. I find it takes the fun and romance away from it all which I don't want. We try to just DTD 3-4 times a week and hope for the best!

That's probably easier for me than for people who already have children though!

Cheyanne101 · 28/04/2019 19:04

Hey @samantha11k thank u for the reply! Thats true it probably puts too much pressure on i guess.. hopefully we can manage to get some hang of it!!

Blondie7187 · 28/04/2019 19:31

Hi Everyone! Is it ok if I join? Hope you are all doing ok! I am 32 TTC baby #1 and on cycle 2. AF due today but still no sign, took a test and it was BFN! It’s so frustrating, my af is normally like clockwork! If it’s coming I wish it would just come so I could get on with it....trying to stay relaxed about the whole things but like everyone says, it’s hard!

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 28/04/2019 21:08

Hey @Blondie7187 welcome :) good luck to you, my af arrived today! I was convinced I was pregnant! Starting a fresh when af sods off xx

Wow this thread has had lots of replies! Hello everyone🙋🏻
@LITTLEPICKLES88 sorry to hear about your af showing up. Mine decided to make an appearance this morning too.
Fingers crossed for next month🤞🏻

permanentlyoverwhlemed · 28/04/2019 21:39

Hi all. I'm TTC#2 only very early days as stopped my pill at the end of March. I didn't track ovulation etc with 1st as he wasn't properly planned. Do people find the ovulation apps helpful or will it just drive me crazy planning when to have sex and stress me out (and take the fun out of it !!) ? I always thought I'd not put that much pressure on it but DS has just turned four and I don't want any bigger age gap so I feel like I'm already pressuring myself !!

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 28/04/2019 22:32

@chloew1924 ah no way sorry to hear that! We need to keep each other updated! I have a good feeling about this next month! ❤️

OP posts:

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 28/04/2019 22:34

@permanentlyoverwhlemed hey welcome! I won't be much help with answering ovulating questions and apps etc as I have pcos and have absolutely no idea when I ovulate! I can go months without a af and sometimes have one after the other for a few months so it's kind of pot luck for me! Xx

Samantha11K · 29/04/2019 06:52

Hi @Blondie7187 and @permanentlyoverwhlemed

Omg I feel horrendous this morning. So tired and my boobs feel like they weigh a tonne (and I don't have big boobs 😂)

Really hoping AF doesn't turn up! 🤞

permanentlyoverwhlemed · 29/04/2019 09:30

@Samantha11k got my fingers crossed for you 🤞

Blondie7187 · 29/04/2019 09:46

Fingers crossed for everyone! 🤞🏻I did a FRER yesterday as AF didn’t show up and it was negative! Tried a clearblue digital this morning and got a BFP....I hope it sticks! 🙈

Ah great news @Blondie7187 😊

I was so close to buying a pregnancy test on my way to work this morning but I didn't!

Wednesday will be day 28 but I think I'm going to try to wait at least until after the weekend. Trying to keep busy and not think about it too much.

LITTLEPICKLES88 · 29/04/2019 13:47

Hey everyone! So weird one! I have felt pregnant for weeks! Got what I thought was a very faint positive then thought must have been in my head! Did test sat was a bfn, cramps sat night af on Sunday today my boobs are so sore af still here not as heavy but deffo still here so I did a test for fun as it was in my bathroom and look! Strongest line yet? So so confused! If was early miscarriage wouldn't this line be even fainter to see than the sat one not stronger?

Anyone trying to conceive?

chloew1924 · 29/04/2019 14:31

@LITTLEPICKLES88 how strange. That definitely looks positive to me🤞🏻
How heavy was the bleeding you had? Maybe it was just implantation bleeding
