TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies

[Hewie30]

Hi Ladies 🙋,

I'm new to the forum so thought I'd look for some TTC buddies.
I'm 30 and TTC baby number 1, I came off the pill beginning of May and had a withdrawal bleed a few days later then got my first AF 4 weeks after that. Last month I sadly had a chemical it was gutting seeing the faint line go but I guess it wasn't my time!
AF arrived on time Sunday so looks like my cycle ranges from 34-35 days.
I'm currently taking pregnacare and using the Ovia app for ovulation, I'm thinking if I don't concieve by month 6 I'll try ovulation sticks. Onward to month 4 I go 🤣

8dpo and no symptoms except back ache and neck ache, constipation has cleared up and Cm has all but dried up too

I got my peak on Sunday morning and it was still high Monday morning. DTD Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and aiming for tonight (though we are both tired haha). So I should be 1DPO.

I'm worried at the moment that my B12 deficiency is going to affect my chances of a sticky one though. Made an appointment with GP to push for more frequent injections to keep my levels up but it's not till 18th September and my injection is the week after so won't help this month.

@claireb707 peeing more can be an early sign of pregnancy so fingers crossed! Though I always think I'm going more than normal and it's just me symptom spotting. 🤣

I feel like AF is now waiting to start and dreading tomorrow as that’s my expected day! I’m also having period like cramps so unlikely for me! Don’t understand why I had implantation bleeding 8 DPO does not add up!!

@claireb707 Frequent urination is a good sign! I’ve had that too but now worried I’m just overthinking everything that’s happening as I want it so badly. Fingers crossed!

Another negative pregnancy and opk test tonight so think it must be me over thinking it. 😢

Hey girls. How we all getting on? Sorry I've been MIA had such a busy few days, I'm off to Italy tomorrow for a friend's wedding so trying to get all sorted! X

Well last night I had spotting and very odd (not like period cramps at all) cramps on right hand side only.
Nothing since so I'm even more confused

@hewie30 I'm doing OK! Although already sick of the tww! I'm only 4/5dpo had some back ache today, I know it's far to early to symptom spot, but I can't help but hope!
Italy sounds lovely! Have a great time.
@claireb707 spotting can be en early pregnsncy symptom! Where are you at in your cycle? Fingers crossed! Xx

Not sure as only came off pill 3 weeks ago

Had withdrawal bleed on 17th August, nothing since, till last night and now again nothing since

@nicecuppfcoco Ahhh yeah the tww is the worst it's so hard not to symptom spot, your paying so much attention to your body. Backaches are a good sign though! When are you going to test?

Yeah I can't wait I've always wanted to go Italy and friends see getting married so will be a lovely weekend.

@clareb707 That's great you've had your withdrawal, have you had your first period yet as pregnancy symptoms can mimic your home's altering?

@Hewie30 Amazing, enjoy! Italy is beautiful and I'm sure the wedding will be brilliant! I'm in Austria for a wedding myself at the moment! Sadly AF has arrived yesterday but at least that means I can drink at the wedding 😄

@Hewie30 yeah I'd like to hold out until at least 12dpo or 13dpo but it's going to be hard! I tested from 7dpo when I had my chemical, too early really, picked up a faint line from 9dpo, got darker over next day or two but a few days later it had turned negative again, so want to avoid early testing if I can! Ideally want to wait for af, but that's not gonna happen! 😂 X

@Raizelria so sorry to hear about af arriving, At least you are away so hopefully can distract yourself alittle. Enjoy the weddings ladies xx

@Raizelea Oh no! Sorry to hear AF arrived 😔. That's very true though you can enjoy the wedding and drink! What a shame, why do they make this TTC journey so hard 🙄. Enjoy the wedding hun x

@nicecupofcoco Yeah that's a good idea to try and wait as close to AF as possible. It's gutting seeing that line and then watching it fade so testing later will protect yourself at the same time 🤞. Fingers crossed for you! Thank you hun 🙂 x

Test day tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼 getting myself all excited 😆 probably unintentionally but hey ho! You never know!

@Hewie30 thank you!
@flossy12 really hope this is your month! Keeping everything crossed! I hope I see a big bfp from you on here tomorrow morning!

Bit more spotting here, brown this time though (sorry tmi), was pale red the other day. Still no normal period symptoms though so still confused as to whats going on.
It's our anniversary today and we've got a night in a hotel - whats the betting period arrives today 😂😂

@Nicecupofcoco @Hewie30 Thank you ladies! I think I may have been too stressed out this cycle, will try to relax more going ahead (though easier said than done!) Hope your TWW is as easy-going as can be!

@flossy12 Good luck with testing tomorrow!

@claireb707 It's so annoying how the timings work sometimes isn't it? I was late for my period in June because of pre-wedding stress so of course AF arrived on the night of the wedding, right before we went for our honeymoon as well ...

@Raizelrea that's so true! It's so stressful! I didn't feel stressed when trying to concieve ds, abd that took nine cycles.
Now I'm on cycle 1 for baby two and couldn't be any more stressy about it! 😂 God help us!

@claireb707 hope you get to the bottom of things soon, sounds frustrating.
Enjoy your night in a hotel, hope af stays away!

@Nicecupofcoco @Raizelrea thank you girlies ☺️☺️ I hope I do too!! Would be amazing x

Hi girls. I’m in a similar frustrating dilemma. No sign of period and it was due 4th Sept. Taken another PG test today and still got a BFN. No signs of period at all but I have a bad headache and slight twinges on my left side but no nausea. Had implantation bleeding very slightly when wiping on 6DPO. 100% for definite ovulated at the right time as got a strong positive with the testing strip so unsure how AF can be this late as I’m always regular. Is it likely that there is a chance of pregnancy? Unsure whether to now hold off another week as worried I should be taking daily folic acid as per GP advice too! Any help would be appreciated. It’s annoying as I would have thought it would show up by now if I was!
