TTC first baby

[Izzimai20031998]

Hi,
I'm on cycle 5 of TTC with first child. I used clear blue advanced ovulation test for the first time last month and have purchased another one to use this month also. I'm on day 7 of this cycle and am planning on starting ovulation testing on day 12 as I ovulated on day 17 last month. I have a pretty regular 27 day cycle (no longer than 29 days).
I know it's still early days but I feel like it's never going to happen. I can't imagine actually getting a positive result. Is anyone else in a similar position and want to be on this journey with me?
Thanks x

Thank you @littlelisa34 we've had some quality time together this evening. Yes we'll wait for AF but suppose I've already had the disappointment as I'm sure it's on it's way

@tryingforbabyone sorry to hear that😔 I’m glad you and OH enjoyed some quality time together.

@tryingforbabyone your post made me well up. It's so raw and real and HARD! To accept every month it doesn't happen.

How long have you been trying ?

Take care of yourself x

@mrssunshinexxx it's exactly that. It doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself that 'it's not this month' in hope that it'll soften the blow, in the back of your mind you pray for that miracle. I'm on cycle 5 but I felt different this month. The worse thing is that as well as that instant sinking feeling and heart ache you get as soon as AF or BFN arrives, you then have to put up feeling rubbish and being constantly reminded that you failed again this month by AF. OH and I haven't really spoken all afternoon now as I don't even know what to say to him. I guess bring on cycle 6. Sorry for the negativity.

@tryingforbabyone don't apologise this is what these threads are for I don't know what I would do to keep sane if I didn't have you ladies as no one in real life knows and I try not to be too intense about it with dh.
I'm on cycle 5 too af due Friday I'm scared for that disappointment already it's crushing and then I usually cry ALL day xx

@tryingforbabyone hope you had a relaxing night and tried to forget all about it for the evening.. hope your feeling a little better this morning

Morning ladies, so still no af here, 3 days late now and 30DPO. Used first response with FMU this morning and I think I can see a shadow but it can be anything (sorry did not have time to take photos). Boobs are still sore and no cramping at all, but I feel exhausted. I'm confused now, do not know what is going on, I have never been 3 days late in my life!

@Katie1109 you are 30dpo?? Does the line have any colour to it?? Really good sign that your AF hasn't arrived especially if that's not normal for you.. and the tiredness is good, it's all looking good for you 😁

Hi @littlelisa34, yes I'm 30DPO and always regular before, I was never late! I'm not sure whether I'm seeing things though, it looked more like a shadow rather than colour line. I normally suffer from terrible period cramps, but there is no sign of that either.

@Katie1109 maybe your Levels just aren't high enough yet if you can maybe wait a couple more days and then test again.. I know that's easier said than done but your levels should be high enough then to detect on a FRER.. your not getting your usual AF signs so that good 😁

Crap I have just realised what I've written...twice!! I'm 30CD which is 17DPO for me LOL !!! Normal cycle is always 27 days. Sorry I just re-read what I wrote and confused myself even more.

@Katie1109 haha I did wonder when you said 30dpo but I just thought maybe my calculations weren't as good as they normally are today lol.. I would try and test in a couple of days lots of women don't get there BFP until a little later on maybe you ovulated later than you thought?

@Katie1109 can you get a more expensive Test to do in the morn and upload a pic?

Ok ladies I'm losing hope now I'm not liking the end of this TWW at all! I've had all these symptoms now at 12dpo and still no BFP! I just hope AF doesn't arrive Thursday and that I'm one of these that doesn't get a BFP until after I miss AF!

@MummaR92 don't lose hope 12dpo is still really early hun 😁 fingers crossed for you..

@littlelisa34 thank you I've just got that feeling that it's not my month now

@MummaR92 I know that feeling.. have your symptoms disappeared?

@littlelisa34 not really no. My boobs feel fuller and more sensitive and last night I had a shooting pain in my lower stomach this happened about 4 times for a split second each time.

@MummaR92 try to stay positive then.. maybe wait a couple of days and test again with FMU.. your still pretty early on, I know loads of women get BFP early but it's not the same for everybody so you're still in with a good chance if AF hasn't arrived..

@littlelisa34 thank you hun! I'll try and keep my mind off it until Thursday! Xx

@MummaR92 no probs Hun just wish I could be of more help.. good luck for Thursday hope the witch stays away for you xx

@littlelisa34 thanks hun. I'll keep you guys updated xx

I'm 18DPO today and still got BFN with first response on FMU, yes I did test even though I said I won't lol . Boobs still sore and have a lower back pain. No sign of anything to do with af. I've ordered clearblue early detection for tomorrow !

@littlelisa34 how are you doing?

@tryingforbabyone I'm good thanks how are you?? Did the witch arrive for you? Still no AF for me as of yet but woke up with cramps this morning so I'm assuming she's on her way sometime today 😫
