1dpo - anyone for the journey

[shelly10111]

Hi ladies, I thought after months of reading everyone's fertility posts online I'd come on in the hope to just vent etc to those trying.
I have 2 beautiful daughters 5+6 conceived first month first try - I'm now on 6 month trying with 3 chemical pregnancies so it's getting very emotional now and draining, draining because Ive has the positive tests and then started bleeding so this month I've vowed to not test until I'm a few days late! My cycles are like clockwork 28 days, I've ovulated a day early on day 11 I have my positive so I'm hoping that's a good sign, I'm taking vitamins and folic and had a lot of bed time ... hoping this is the month but going to do my best to relax! :)

Yep either chemical or accu news tests are bad so avoid maybe, five faint positives and a clear BFN with rapid response which showed up at 10dpo last time and I'm really sore so I'm guessing period will be early too, sigh, into month 7 we go

@Shefliesonherownwings how are you getting on? Xx

I'm spotting brown haven't tested today as I can just feel AF on her way

@shelly10111 thanks for asking after me. I'm ok, I've taken another test this morning and the line is pretty clear and getting stronger on the IC and FRER.

I am totally terrified though, because of what happened to us. We will be seeing a consultant asap to come up with a plan but I'm still expecting something to go wrong any day. I tried to just ignore it and not test but I think testing and seeing those lines is actually helping me.

How are you doing? I'm sorry if AF arrives but until she's in full force, you still have a chance. X

@Shefliesonherownwings thanks lovely ! Stay positive and believe In your body, also private clinics are fab for early scans etc, for reassurance maybe, thank you nice to hear that, I've been cramping on and off I just can't understand how the rapid response didn't have a hint of a line and the cheapies all had faint lines and one quite dark line... weird, but not getting down on myself. X

9DPO here and period is due on Saturday 7th March.

I have been getting mild period-type aches since yesterday, also a sourish taste in my mouth, I felt like I was coming down with a cold yesterday, felt really emotional too and had a backache. My boobs are on fire.

I don’t usually get period aches until a few hours before my period is due though so it’s odd for me to get them so early.

It’s driving me mad that all this could also be PMS symptoms too. 😆

Hi. Thought I'd join in - 8dpo and need something to take my mind off the waiting!

No current symptoms, although my post ovulation temps are up and down like crazy (all above the cover line though), dont know if this can mean anything.
I'm just happy to be getting slight back to normal after extremely long cycles since the pill.

Good luck to all of you!!

Sounds good ladies keep fingers crossed for you, I'm batting against a brick wall but everytime I get pains and get a spot of brown I think I've come on and I haven't just yet so I still have that pathetic smudge of hope in my heart xx

Can I ask whether you are all first timers having children or do you have children already? If so, how many?

I’ll go first, I have three children and this would be my fifth pregnancy (if I’ve conceived) after a miscarriage between number one and number two.

@organicsmorganic I have one son who is 8:)

This will be my first x

Hi ladies, I'm now 10DPO, and defo think I'm out this month- have the teeniest bit of discharge since ovulating and normally i have quite a bit on a usual day. Sometimes feel like my boobs are sore but just think I'm imagining it. Don't even have an urge to take a test that's how much I feel I'm out this month! X

missgoldilocks have you told him that you have brother/sister plans for him or will it be a surprise?

Annajay12 can I ask, have you been trying for long?

@organicsmorganic I told him 7 months ago that I had the plan to have one lol I'm sure he's forgotten by now!! I thought it would happen straight away like it did with him! He was happy though 😊. Have you told yours?

@OrganicSmorganic I came off the pill in October but since then had a 45 day and a 70 day cycle, and had no idea if I was even ovulating.
This time ovulated on day 20 confirmed with opk and bbt so 🤞

@OrganicSmorganic how long have you been trying?

Missgoldilocks aww that’s cute, he will be so excited when it happens! No, I haven’t told them lol I don’t think I could stand the constant questions about when the baby will be born 😆

Annajay12 it can take a few cycles to settle into a rhythm, that sounds like you’re on a roll now! First month trying for us.

Trying for my third, daughters both 5+7 very mature and forward asking about when we are having a baby, we didn't think it would be taking this long for our third and final

So last week I had all sorts of symptoms going on (period due in 3 days) and now everything has settled down. No sore boobs, no back ache, no achiness, no emotional stuff.

If I was pregnant then this would have got worse, no? And not eased off?

@Annajay12 this will be our first month trying 🤞🏻

@OrganicSmorganic I have my fingers crossed for you !!
I have no symptoms either. Had slight cramping at about 5dpo but probably means nothing. How many dpo are you? I'm 9 today and feel like if been waiting the longest time already 🙄 would it be acceptable to take a test at 10dpo?

@Annajay12 thank you, and you! 🍀🍀🍀

I’m 10dpo and just had a bfn however I’m optimistic as history tells me that I don’t get a BFF until I’ve missed AF so there’s still hope!

I’d try and hold off if I were you, it’s asking the impossible but it does save a horrible bfn if too early 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@OrganicSmorganic its soooooo hard!! May have to hide the tests and forget where I put them Haha
But your right, I don't really want to waste them or put myself in a crap mood when I get a BFN through testing too early.

Keep me updated on how you get on :)

@annajay12 definitely try hold back lol I'm getting super tempted to test but a bfn breaks my heart! How long have you been trying?

@organicsmorganic yes lol I think you did the right thing, luckily he's stopped asking me about it now! Hopefully soon I can gube him good news

Morning Ladies, can anyone recommend some good treatment ie vitamins for getting pregnant? I'm taking folic but now 7 months trying I think I may try something new ? Xx
