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

@Katie1109 I can see a faint line 😁🤞. You bleeding heavily or light again? Id test tomorrow with FMU hun, also see if you can get some frer as they are more sensative and less likely to get runs x

I wouldn’t say it’s heavy but it’s not just spotting and it is red. I’m soooo confused :(

@Hewie30 maybe that's your cycle length now but I'd be curious if you stopped pregnacare it would get shorter.. yeah I'm definitely not getting too excited until my first appointment which isn't for another 4 weeks seems like a lifetime away..

@Katie1109 I definitely see a line hun plus it's not your FMU.. I agree that FRER are the best tests out there but test in the morning and see how that goes and try and relax hun although I know how hard that is..

@Littlelisa34 Yeah it's possible that it could be that was my original thought but like you say it would be interesting to see if it shortens them 🤔. I'll see how I go I think 🤞, hopefully I won't need to worry and I'll get my positive this month xx

@katie1109 Okay Hun, try your best to relax and keep yourself busy today and do another test tomorrow with FMU. Hopefully it's just some bleeding in early pregnancy, unfortunately some women get that and you might be one of them 😘 xx

Another pic I managed to darken it

@Hewie30 yeah hopefully you will Hun and you won't need opks and all the other stuff..

@Katie1109 there's a line but I would definitely do another test in the morning and see how the bleeding goes for the rest of the day x

Littlelisa34 Yeah exactly hun! 🤞🤞. How you feeling now, has it sunk in a bit more? Xx

Katie1109 That definatly looks positive hun but I'd keep an eye on it, do another one tomorrow and monitor your bleeding xx

@littlelisa34 have you got an appointment booked then? I can't believe how unexpected that was for you, it's so lovely

@Hewie30 I've tried to keep myself busy today partner doesn't get home until around 7pm spoke to my sister in the phone was desperate to tell her but I'm not going to do until a couple more weeks have passed.. still hasn't really sunk in trying to stay off google because I know I will be googling what bad signs to look out for 🤪

@tryingforbabyone I know completely unexpected normally I get loads of symptoms that lead to BFN then this month nothing really.. yeah I'm booked in to see midwife in 4 weeks time unless anything occurs before that which I'm praying that it doesn't. How are you feeling?x

@littlelisa34 oh lovely 😊 I'm sure you'll be fine but understand your concern! Must be such a strange time; the excitement but also feeling nervous. I'm okay thanks, just ready for cycle 6 now!

Congratulations @littlelisa34 I'm made up for you 😁😁🎉🎉!

So last night I had a dream that I took a HPT and it came out positive 😁 and then fast forward in the dream I had a baby boy called James! I woke up all excited and took a test but nothing 😢. I am due AF tomorrow so I guess it's not over just yet! It's just really deflating after a dream like that!

@MummaR92 I know exactly how you feel I was the same before AF but all set for cycle 6!

@tryingforbabyone yeah it's definitely hard to not get excited when it's all I've thought about for months.. but once today is over with I am going to try and just put it to one side and hope and pray everything is fine for the next 8 months 😁🤞x

@MummaR92 thank you and they say a BFP dream is a good sign and yes it's still really early for you still plenty of time to get your BFP.. have you had any major symptoms??

@littlelisa34 I really hope so 🤞! I've had quite a few yeah like heartburn, feeling sick, stomach cramps, hiccups (I never get them) and feeling really tired. I hope I do get my BFP! How many DPO were you when you got yours?

@MummaR92 they are so good symptoms hun.. I'm 18dpo today I probably would of got a faint positve end of last week but I'd always planned on testing today but I only had clear blue digitalis in didn't want to waste money on a FRER because I was convinced AF was going to show up any minute x

@littlelisa34 aww I'm so pleased for you 😁😁! Hopefully AF doesn't show up for me tomorrow! I just have that small feeling she will! I'll wait till Friday now I think to test if she doesn't arrive x

@MummaR92 morning I hope AF hasn't shown up for you today 😁

@littlelisa34 That's the best to do keeping busy although that still is difficult 😂. What did OH say when he got home ❤️😍.
Yeaaaah please stay away from Google, it can be the worst place to type symptoms etc sometimes! Try your best to relax and enjoy growing your little bean 🤗 xxx

Morning @littlelisa34 it hasn't yet and I hope it doesn't either 😂 lol! X

@Hewie30 yeah I'm definitely going to stay away from google!! He bought me the biggest bunch of flowers and a really lovely card it was really sweet.. he was still in shock for most of the night 😀 I'm definitely going to try and stay relaxed get this next month out of the way 😀 how are you this morning?x

@MummaR92 good I'm hoping she doesn't arrive for you either 😀

@littlelisa34 fingers crossed 🤞
