TTC chat!

[apwilso]

Hey!

Want to get a group of ladies who are TTC at the same time to have someone to chat to during this journey together. It's a lonely process for me and only
In early stages of trying but would love advice, tips and general chat. This is an open chat and can't wait to chat to you all

Hi I was hoping I could find someone who can help with my bbt chart. Im not sure if it's going well or not, I was expecting a bbt dip for implantation but today at 7dpo I have had a major spike instead. Im unsure if I ovulater on cd11 I thought more cd16.

So I was just silly and did a test at 8dpo which was obviously negative... Silly I know as its made me sad now, and wasted a test. 😭 Gonna force myself to hold out now until at least 12dpo...

@mummy2girlz I have never charted before so this could be wrong but from what I have read I thought if it stayed high you were more likely to implant than if it dipped ? I hope this is a good sign for you x

@tabbycat92 sorry to hear about the negative. As you say it is very early and best to wait until double digits. 12dpo is a good idea as more reliable then . I am the complete opposite and keep talking myself out of testing. I am 11 dpo and planned to test yesterday and still haven't 🙈 I will say I will test tomorrow but who knows. I will most likely tell myself I may as well wait . Hopefully when you test again it will be a BFP xx

I think I am out and will be heading into 9 months ttc. Starting spotting on and off which is always a sign of AF. Had a cry and now just waiting to see what happens.

@1992EM sorry to hear 😞 not to get your hopes up as I know how confusing this time is but could it be implantation?x

I think I’m out too, caved and did an easy@home test and was blank white.. 11DPO so expected to have at least a faint line but there was nothing.

@LRW26 it could be but doubt it as always spot before AF. Sorry about your negative. Was it an early test you used ? x

@1992EM ah okay 💘 no just the cheap easy@home strips.. I googled and quite a few people had lines so just tried it and there was nothing. Not getting my hopes it though! Due on either 23rd or 24th so just going to prepare for that now I think x

@LRW26 could be they aren't sensitive enough. Hopefullh AF stays away. Although I get it is easier to not get your hopes up . We must have similar cycles . Why do you plan to test next ? X

@1992EM yeah I think we do! I’m not going to test again unless I’m late I think because it’s just torture! X

@LRW26 I am with you on that. I hate testing now. I actually find it worse than AF arriving. Fingers crossed we will get to see a positive one soon x

@1992EM fingers crossed but Im losing all hope now! X

@Mummy2girlz that's exactly what my chart did when I got my BFP. Hopefully that's where you're headed.

O really have you got a copy of.your chart so I can have a nosey loll is that weird ?? Lol I just never really understand much about charting so as I get more bbt readings I start to ask so many questions lol congrats on your bfp :)

@LRW26 I am with you on that. 💕

@Mummy2girlz I uploaded a pic of my chart in my last comment. Are you not able to see it?

@1992EM I’m out this month too and I’m really starting to struggle mentally now. I honestly never thought this is how it would be. Life can really be quite cruel 😔 x

Sorry to hear that people are out. It's so difficult. I e tried to stay more relaxed with it all and tried not to test. I have an Amazon subscription of FRER and they've come today but holding off x

@apwilso I’ve decided next month I’m not even going to use OPKs and just see what happens. Really hope you get your BFP 🤞🏻 x

Has they’re been many BFP since this chat started? Would be great to hear some positive stories as I’m losing hope now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@apwilso mine come tomorrow haha.
I'm still feeling very hopeful, I feel different this month.

Have had a lot of boob ache, lower back ache, watery cm, pulling/tugging/fluttery feelings in lower abdomen, vivid dreams. 🤞

I agree with @lrw26 let's here some success stories!

@Tabbycat92 fingers crossed for you. I'm trying not to symptom spot but I'll know I'll crack at some point!

@LRW26 that's what I've done and feel bit better for it but also like I wasted a full month where my boyfriend is at home!

@LRW26 sorry to hear that. I completely understand. It is a very lonely and emotional journey that no one prepares you for . I also want to protect my partner from the disappointment so end up finding myself bottling it up . Once AF arrives I discuss with my partner and then I always feel a bit more positive about trying again. Sorry I don't have any other advice about how to cope though. I just want AF to show so it can be over with now that I know I am most likely out .

@apwilso fingers crossed you get your positive x

@tabbycat92 sounds promising . Fingers crossed for you x

@1992EM that's how I got with it all so need this month to do it but not over focus. It's shit because I feel like we're hard done by especially when others are succeeding but all I know is that one day will be our day x

@apwilso It definitely will be and completely normally within the first year but the closer to the 1 year mark , the harder it is to accept each month. Anyway once my first day of AF is over with tomorrow I will be able to be positive again x

Now even more confused. AF hasn't shown and no further spotting today. No symptoms either. Convinced everytime I go that I will start but nothing . Didn't test as assumed I would start AF. If it doesn't start by tomorrow I will test so I will no either way . x
