Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

Hey @abby25 I did a test with my morning wee! How impatient am I!! But BFN! How are you? Have you tested yet?!

BatmanBaby · 30/03/2020 13:24

Thanks @abby25, you didn't worry me...I'm just getting frustrated with not knowing when I should test! I broken and did one this morning which was of course a BFN.

If I follow @KrissyMB 's timeline then I wouldn't be getting a positive until next Monday! I don't want to keep wasting tests, but at the same time I have no idea when I should test! I guess I should try to stick to every Monday! Easier said than done lol

Fingers crossed for everyone else as well!

Oh no @abby25 I’m really sorry to hear that. Why does it have to be late as well!! I got another BFN but no AF. Just getting really pissed off now because it’s making my cycle so long!

Ughmaybenot · 03/04/2020 10:48

Aw @abby25 I am sorry, that’s so disappointing.

If I’ve done my maths right, next time I’ll be testing will be on my birthday... this could be the most amazing present ever, or just a contribution to the suckiest birthday ever, what with lockdown and all 😂

Hey @abby25 no sign yet. Don’t feel pregnant what so ever. I am going to test again on Sunday. I will be almost a week late then. How are you?

Pink15 · 04/04/2020 15:37

@1987Nic hey how are you doing?

1987Nic · 04/04/2020 19:16

I’ve sent you a pm @Pink15

BatmanBaby · 05/04/2020 08:57

Still no period...but also still getting BFN's 😟 just wish either my period would start or I get a BFP now. Fed up of getting neither.

KrissyMB · 05/04/2020 17:09

@BatmanBaby aw so sorry to hear that! Sometimes it takes quite a while for your period to return after having the coil removed. Before I would have been officially pregnant I was having aversions to tea and coffee xx

Littlepeas2 · 05/04/2020 22:18

How many days late are you @BatmanBaby I’m 5 days late... BFN and don’t feel pregnant at all. I just want to know why my cycle has gone crazy 😭

KrissyMB · 06/04/2020 08:29

@Littlepeas2 did you have a coil in? X

Littlepeas2 · 06/04/2020 09:12

No I didn’t have a coil. I’m normally every 34 days and I’m now day 42. Definitely not pregnant and now I’m just really worried what might be going on!

Hi all 👋 can I join please? I came off contraception in February but this is my first cycle of trying to conceive. If my natural cycles app and OPK tests are to be believed, then I think I am ovulating (or poss yesterday haha - so new to this) either way I guess my TWW is imminent. I know it is unlikely I will get pregnant this first cycle but I feel so impatient - two weeks seems ages! Do you guys have any tips for managing this wait? :)

BatmanBaby · 09/04/2020 14:31

@KrissyMB took a FRER this afternoon, and I can see the faintest line! Don't want to jinx it - going to test tomorrow morning with fmu.

Hoping that the slight bleeding on the 18th was my 'first' period, which would put me 6 days early for my next one, so should just be possible to show up?!

If I am it means a due date of the 23rd of December Shock Grin
