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

I've got sore boobs, feel low level nauseous at times, but starving hungry! Crossing my fingers so much!!!

KrissyMB · 09/04/2020 14:36

Ahhhhh @BatmanBaby that is so exciting!! Xx

BatmanBaby · 09/04/2020 14:41

Thank you @KrissyMB Really hoping it shows up more tomorrow morning! I can't get a decent picture of it today, but I can see it!

Really trying to stay calm and not get my hopes up until I've tested again! Can't stop going and checking I can still see the line though XD

KrissyMB · 09/04/2020 14:56

If there is a faint line I reckon you're in :) did you test first thing? X

BatmanBaby · 09/04/2020 14:58

@KrissyMB no I tested at 2pm as I couldn't hold out anymore, so really hoping it's darker in the morning! I can see a line, and it showed up after about 1 minute! So with afternoon wee and if I'm 6 days early 9going on the 18th being a 'period') then I suppose it will be very faint atm.

KrissyMB · 09/04/2020 17:53

@BatmanBaby eeeek so excited for you!!! Do it first thing tomorrow morning :)

KrissyMB · 10/04/2020 10:08

@BatmanBaby any news today???:)

BatmanBaby · 10/04/2020 10:38

Similar to yesterday. I think I can see something but worried it's my imagination 😅 going to try and wait a few days and test again 🤞closer to the 15th when I think my period should be.

KrissyMB · 10/04/2020 13:51

Any photos? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

BatmanBaby · 10/04/2020 14:27

They don't show up in photos frustratingly! Tried a clear blue this morning as well and thing I can see a faint line on that one as well 🤞 ordered some more of both and will try and hold out testing until Wednesday!

Boobs are really sore today and yesterday and I've been having trouble with sleep. So thinks there's a good chance I really am seeing something there!

KrissyMB · 13/04/2020 08:59

@BatmanBaby have you tested again yet?

BatmanBaby · 13/04/2020 10:23

@KrissyMB I e woken up to my period this morning. So disappointed 😞 at least I can try for next month and know when to count from

Ughmaybenot · 13/04/2020 10:51

Ah that’s disappointing @batmanbaby Flowers I’m due my period (apparently, according to the app I have) in 6 days, but I’m so completely irregular, I don’t feel too confident. My cycle has varied from 28 days to 46 days over the last 14 months so 🤷🏼‍♀️

KrissyMB · 13/04/2020 12:23

@BatmanBaby ah no :( that's disappointing, but in a way atleast you can now start a fresh and know your cycle better! I'm excited for your journey ahead! Xx

Ughmaybenot · 14/04/2020 07:42

Another BFN this morning Sad

KrissyMB · 14/04/2020 09:20

Aww no @ughmaybenot :( sorry to hear that! Would you be due by now?

Ughmaybenot · 14/04/2020 09:25

@krissymb not just yet, possibly another 5 days or so if my app prediction is right, but there’s no real telling. I guess I might have just tested too early but I’m so irregular it’s hard to tell.

Ughmaybenot · 14/04/2020 09:28

Plus I don’t want to hang on to that thought and get my hopes up again ha.

KrissyMB · 14/04/2020 09:38

@ughmaybenot yeah I can understand that. I was testing like mad before I was due but then decided to be strict with myself and wait until the day I would be due. Or exactly a month since having coil removed. X

Ughmaybenot · 14/04/2020 09:44

@krissymb yea, I think I’m just setting myself up to fail tbh, today is exactly a month since the start of my last period but I know I’m not regular so I don’t know why I do it to myself ha!

KrissyMB · 14/04/2020 10:45

Aww don't be too hard on yourself my lovely. Just give it another week perhaps and do a test then. I think sometimes just listening to your body too - I felt a bit funny before I took a test, and completely went off alcohol, and bloating bad!

Ughmaybenot · 14/04/2020 13:08

Thanks sweet 💗 easy to get upset by it isn’t it? Guess we’ll see how it pans out x

Hey girls how are you all getting on? I think I've missed ovulation!!! I was late for my period this month and felt a bit wet on day 11 but I thought would be way to early to ovulate with my cycle length so didnt have sex.... my app says ovulation is due tomorrow but I've just felt my cervix and its closed tight and hard 😫 so bloody annoying I'm definitely buying ovulation sticks from now on xxx

It’s all so confusing isn’t it? Who knew after spending so many years trying hard not to get pregnant 😂
Did another test this morning just in case. Was right tho, def a negative! Ah well, next month hopefully!

Ughmaybenot · 20/04/2020 08:30

On the plus side I suppose, at least I can have a gin on my birthday on Wednesday 😂 small things!
