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!

@hels301990 and @Bellesjp aww that sucks! Pretty sure I'll be joining you in the AF club shortly - currently in a foul mood and my back is starting to ache, which is usually the precursor to bleeding for me! Damn.

hels301990 · 07/02/2021 14:47

Thanks all! Am gutted and it's only cycle 4/5 depending on whether you count the first cycle when I don't think we really knew anything about when to DTD etc. So I know it's so early - how do people cope for so long with disappointment after disappointment? I'm trying to focus on this month being the one - I know I won't be in my fertile week for Valentine's Day but Valentine's month lol?! Any tips and tricks from those with BFPs much appreciated!?

I'm 7dpo now and got all the symptoms, fatigue, very achey boobs and sensitive nipples, waves of nausea. Also I'm sure I felt some implementation pain. But these symptoms can all be normal hormone related but I just feel so weird! I'm going to be so confused/disappointed if AF arrives or BFN :(

hels301990 · 07/02/2021 19:15

Not a sign of the brown discharge at all now even when feeling my cervix (sorry tmi) and I've been sick...def not sat here googling sore boobs, nausea, sickness and spotting...could I still be pregnant? Knowing full well by tomorrow I'll be in full flow. The things TTCing does to us!!!

Ithinkhedidit · 08/02/2021 06:46

@hels301990 weird! When is AF due? I know light bleeding/ spotting is common in early pregnancy.
I caved and did the second FRER - bfn! Pretty sure I'm out! Just going to wait for AF now. The only glimmer of hope I have is that I may have ovulated late so I could be as little as 7dpo. Probably not the case though- I expect AF will arrive on the dot!

hels301990 · 08/02/2021 07:19

AF was due sat/sun so getting the brown discharge wasnt surprising but it usually develops into a flow over the day rather than stop. I don't want to do a test as it's literally my last frer so don't want to waste it or see that 1 lonely line when I'm sure it's just my period dragging it's heels. I just wish the painful boobs, nausea and tiredness would go away now lol I've got the point I'm not pregnant and on to another month lol 🙈

hels301990 · 08/02/2021 07:19

@Ithinkhedidit what day do you think you are due?

Ithinkhedidit · 08/02/2021 09:31

@hels301990 Wednesday I think so I know I'm not out but I am feeling PMS-y today and not even a squinter so I really think this isn't my month.
Hopefully your AF arrives properly today OR you get a bfp today/tomorrow so you know what's actually going on! So irritating being stuck in limbo!

Seraphina1993 · 08/02/2021 16:00

Like an idiot I did a FRER on 8dpo this morning. I was googling too much and heard about some people getting faint bfp's that early so I got carried away and obviously BFN. Now I feel like I might be getting implementation pains which would explain the BFN but could be very early AF. Or it could all be in my head!

I still have breast tenderness but not as bad as yesterday but the vivid dreams are so detailed and I wake up more tired. I dream almost every night anyway but these are something else.

It's probably obvious from my obsessiveness and cluelessness that it's my first month ttc haha

Ithinkhedidit · 08/02/2021 16:56

@Seraphina1993 it's a nightmare isn't it! You suddenly become aware of the slightest twinge! Don't worry, bfps at 8dpo are very rare. It's definitely too early to test but I totally understand the POAS urge! Fingers crossed for you!

Seraphina1993 · 09/02/2021 11:45

Ugh felt a bit wet down there so went to the loo and bright red blood in my knickers and on toilet paper :(

I'm grasping at straws thinking its implantation bleeding as I'm 9DPO but it's probably AF come early. It's only my first month trying but I was so dissapointed and feel like my body has been lying to me or I've been imagining everything.

Also to add insult to injury the Amazon van is curretly pulling up outside with the FRER I ordered :(

Aims1991 · 09/02/2021 12:33

@Seraphina1993 I'm same as you, spotting this morning so think it's AF! This is our 3rd month trying and even my OH said it's makes him sad that its not happening!

Braxos · 12/02/2021 07:37

Huge congratulations @Braxos xx

Braxos · 12/02/2021 08:38

Thankyou! My dates are going to be so wonky! I dont think I ovulated til CD21 by the looks of it (not 14 like i thought!), so am not going to be able to go from LMP!

Ive has absolute blanks on ICs up til today! And only today got the faintest of lines (which made me do a frer!)

ICs are evil!
