Can I jump in ☺️


I’m currently 10DPO tested this morning and a BFN. Around 6 months in ttc and no symptoms this month.. nothing. No sign of pregnancy or AF. I usually have sore boobs at least. This time nothing.... is that a good sign? Shall I remain hopeful? Help! Can’t take anymore months of trying and BFNs 😩

[WaitingForEgg]

@AnxiousAnnie86 lasts 5-7 days? What does sorry?

[Blossom428]

Awwwe @AnxiousAnnie86 he is so cute!!! I feel having a dog or any pet is just the best. My mum has our boxer living at her house, she's literally the craziest dog ever but so cute!! Will defo our your focus on to your puppy and help you relax.

@TTCagainHOPEFUL 10days is still very early. I'm similar boat to you in terms of trying for 6 months and still nothing. Either wait till AF or try testing in a couple of days time as implantation May have only just happened and takes a few days to increase

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@WaitingForEgg so apparently sperm can live for 5-7 days in your uterus so just do it as much as you can around the night shifts!

@TTCagainHOPEFUL welcome!! Anything different is exciting!!!!! My boobs are sore so pretty sure af coming! Did you confirm ovulation by opk or anything. Xx

[Redfoot89]

Hi ladies, can i join? this will be our first month ttc, fertile week started yesterday so im not even near testing yet and time is already going so sloooow. i came off the pill in dec 2018 and fell straight away, but had an early miscarriage. Took 89 days for my cycles to start again afterwards. We have now finally decided to start trying again and im so nervous after last time!! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Redfoot89 welcome!! I know exactly how you feel! I had a MC in October 19 first month trying, it took me (weirdly) 89 days for periods to start again and have been trying since and still somewhat irregular long cycles, my fear is the same as yours what if after all this time I fall pregnant again and I miscarry :(



So guys I know I've been so good this TWW no temping no testing nothing! And I've got to 13dpo and have just done an opk! No idea why just trying to distract from testing and the last time I was pregnant I took an opk and it was positive which led me to take a pregnancy test.... anyway, this has come back. I know it could be nothing and probably is nothing and I'm so annoyed with myself for not just waiting out AF :( this is literally four mins after taking it....

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@Blossom428 I know it’s too early it just seems all consuming 😩

@AnxiousAnnie86 Thankyou! Yes got a positive OPK on the 14th so putting ovulation down to the 15th. We’ve tried not monitoring anything this month and allowing ourselves to enjoy things without the pressure of any tests or tracking. We caved in the 14th and did an opk and it’s been downhill from there obsessing again haha. People say to relax but how can you when it’s the only thing you want in the world right now? 😩😩😩 xx

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@TTCagainHOPEFUL there is no way! I've tried every what way! Just gotta ride it out :( we've been ttc since July 18 which feels like an absolute lifetime..... do you take any vitamins or anything? I was saying on here the other Fay vit D is meant to be one of key factors in successful conception! Xx

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah been taking pregnacare conception and OH taking the wellman conception too which I presume have all the required levels of vitamins you need?

Is the test you did an OPK? Heard they can pick up HCG as well as the surge hormone for ovulation but aren’t as reliable xx

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@TTCagainHOPEFUL surprisingly the levels of D are not very high! I take a high strength D as well as prenatal vit! Yeah it's an opk xx

[Redfoot89]

@AnxiousAnnie86 not to sound daft but nice to know im not the only one i guess. My periods have been pretty ok since actually, averaging around 31/32 days, have had two longer cycles but these were both after some extremely stressful family bereavements. On the whole im pretty pleased with how my cycles have been so im hoping its a good sign 🙏

Ive heard that some people get positive results from opks but just never knwon whether or not it was reliable. When are you planning on taking a pregnancy test?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Redfoot89 deffo not alone! We all seem to have our own battles on this thread!!! 31/32 day cycles sounds perfect! I won't test till 16dpo as the absolute latest my period has ever come is 15 xx

[Redfoot89]

@TTCagainHOPEFUL i feel that way already and we have only just started. One minute im all chilled about it and the next im checking my tracking app and counting days etc trying to hard to relax about it all but as you say, its super hard if not impossible to relax about something that you want so bad!!

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@AnxiousAnnie86 shall I get some vitamin D as well as taking pregnacare too?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@TTCagainHOPEFUL that's what I do, I take this one plus my seven seas trying for a baby

[AnxiousAnnie86]

I just did another it's more positive then when I've ever had one when ovulating! X

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’ll get some then Thankyou.
Fingers crossed for you! Xx

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@AnxiousAnnie86 so I went back to the test I did this morning ( I know you shouldn’t go back to them) but there’s a faint line. The test is still wet so could it still be an evaporation line? When I did the test, it took a long time for the urine to go up to the control panel - longer than usual. Now there’s like a pink clouding on the test panel and that’s over the line. I got inspired by you and did an OPK and there’s a line but it’s not faint and it’s not solid. It’s in between I don’t know how to post a picture or I would

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Do you see the little paper clip where you post it's just on there, and then select it from camera roll, does the line have colour xx

[TheOrangeMonster]

@AnxiousAnnie86 you could do a FRER? Otherwise you'll obsess over whether the OPK means anything. At 13dpo a FRER will be accurate.
I really hope you finally caught.

Hi @Redfoot89 abs @TTCagainHOPEFUL

Guys I need to take a break from here again, the resentment demon is getting worse so I need to log off for a bit.

Fingers crossed for everyone, I'll be back next cycle with whatever news there is. In the meantime good luck!

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@TheOrangeMonster it doesn't mean anything! I know it doesn't! I've had positive opks before a period before, just gonna forget about it now..

I'm sorry you are having a hard time with it. We will speak soon, take care in the meantime, and look after yourself x

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

@AnxiousAnnie86 there’s not paperclip at all. It’s like a cloud of purple and the line is underneath. I did another test but it’s negative so will wait to see if period comes now.
After a conversation with my OH we have decided not to track anything now. Not even periods I’ve deleted all apps then there will be no pressure on us cos the BFNs really hit us hard. Xx

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@TTCagainHOPEFUL I know :( we are only tracking ovulation with the digital tests just once a day, cos my cycles are so long we are likely to miss it, I don't ever test anymore as it's just too hard too see xx

[AnxiousAnnie86]

I've taken about 7 opks today l blazing positive, I'm going to do one in morning, if it's positive I'm going to test! Arghhhh or do I wait till I'm a day late?!

[WaitingForEgg]

@TheOrangeMonster I’m feeling the same. I know this is a TTC thread so I’m being unfair, but someone joining and getting PG first cycle has really saddened me. I’m so fed up with people finding it so easy, while I’m constantly being asked when we will be having one
