CD1 (again!) - No more relaxed approach..

[Braxos]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me today (or any day soon) tracking from CD1, hopefully all the way up to the BFP in 28/29/30 days time!

I know its a little unusual, we tend to only be active on here when we are waiting after ovulation, but thought it might be nice to track all the way through as a group!

Anyway, if anyone fancies it let me know!

@braxos - There is still time for it to get darker! It is early days at the moment 🤗 I’ve got a faint OPK this morning so I’m going to do another one at 2pm to see if it gets darker! 🤗 We dtd on Tuesday and will tonight but I’m a bit worried because we didn’t on Wednesday and last night :( I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens 👌

@hels301990 I had the extra saliva thing in pregnancy but can't remember if it started in the tww...sorry that's not too helpful! Fingers crossed for you though!

@Braxos how frustrating! If it helps I think the earliest I've seen a line is 11dpo and once not until after AF was due! Despite my obsession with early testing, it never seems to work with me 🤣

@Aims1991 aw a Valentine's announcement would be lush! Hope you get your bfp!

@Ithinkhedidit being the impatient person I am I tested this morning but obviously it was a BFN🙄🤣

@Aims1991 I tested too- I have no idea why! Obviously it was a bfn 🤣

@Ithinkhedidit I just feel totally different and not like AF symptoms. But I kinda felt like this last month too🙄

Kept waking up in the night and had dreams of implementation bleeding! Probably because I'm reading too much stuff on google haha. Also got achey boobs today with sensitive nipples and totally exhausted :( could just be normal hormones. Been on the mini pill so long I don't know what's normal. I think I'm either 5 or 6 dpo so far too early to test

@Bellesjp it's still a bit watery but more like really thirsty compared to how it was yday. Feeling a bit crampy today; due tomorrow/Sunday so I could be out 🤷‍♀️ The only thing I have had which is a bit odd was quite a lot of white stretchy/slippery discharge this morning - sort of in the direction ewcm but not as much. Usually I'm pretty dry or brown discharge just before period so who knows

I gave in and tested when I got home from work and bfn ☹️ Not holding out much hope for this month now. Although I’d only been for a wee an hour before but thought something might have shown up at 13dpo regardless!

@Bellesjp that sucks! You're not out til AF arrives though. Implantation can happen up to 12 days after you ovulate. If that's the case you definitely wouldn't get a bfp yet- the hcg would still need to rise. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks @Ithinkhedidit, will test in the morning again and see. AF due tomorrow but zero signs still..

Well another bfn this morning! Anyone else testing today?

@Bellesjp me! Bfn! Obvs! Any sign of AF?

@Ithinkhedidit sorry to hear! No nothing yet, I’m CD34 and usually come on by CD33, waiting game I guess!

I missed my FMU - barely remember going lol so I'll test tomorrow which is the day I'm due on (if I don't wake up to a horrible surprise) atm my boobs are still incredibly painful, light cramps and feeling just general nauseous and off so could go either way I recon. Only thing is I usually have some brown discharge/spotting the day before and I've not had that yet but 🤷‍♀️ how's everyone doing?

Stark bfn for me this morning so looking like a chemical, thats what I get for testing so early! Im weirdly okay with it though, only our first proper ttc cycle & at least i know i can get pregnant. Still early days at 11dpo, but not going to test now til AF is due (3 days), it its meant to be it'll be! 💗

@Braxos sorry to hear you got a bfn this morning ☹️ As you say what will be will be 🤞🏼

@hels301990 fingers crossed for testing tomorrow!

Still no sign of AF today, got a few cramps but don’t feel like period cramps so god knows what’s going on 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Braxos sorry to hear about that. Hope you're ok.

Tested with a FRER this morning and negative! Doh! Still early though although feeling pretty pessimistic now. Think I'm going to hold off testing until Wednesday now. Good luck to any testers this morning!

I tested this morning and I didn't even get a control line?! So odd!! Off to boots/somewhere still open later to get another pack 🙈 no sign of period this morning (due date) so 🤞 a good sign. Is the phase after ovulation always the same no. Of days? (I know cycle lengths can vary overall) x

@hels301990 that can happen if the test is flooded. Good news about AF tho!

Oh that's interesting I didn't know that! I might do the collect the wee in a cup method next time too 🤞 AF stays away...I've got that whole hate going for a wee thing in case I find bleeding 🙈

Well AF turned up this morning so looks like I’m out this month!

I've got some brown discharge now so I think I'm out. Had a proper sob. Really thought symptoms were pointing towards pregnant this time 😢 still got painful boobs and waves of nausea; why do our bodies do this to us 🙈

So sorry @Bellesjp & @hels301990 :( its so cruel! All those hours we spent worrying about getting pregnant when younger & its actually so much trickier than it seems x
