Ttc #1 - cycle 7

[rosiej95]

Really fed up of AF showing up month after month now 🤦🏼‍♀️ we've been taking the see what happens but dtd lots approach. But now going into month 7 so We've decided to use the clear blue opk's to see if it gives us a better chance. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Now to just wait for AF to disappear 😀

Any one else ttc #1? 😀

@rosiej95 well I’ll say I’ll hold out but I know what I’m like so will probably end up testing early. 🙈

How long have you got until it’s due, could it be too early? Xx.

Aw rosie I'm sorry to hear that. I am not testing at all this month unless it's a day or two passed AF but I totally feel you. Its that hope and then losing the hope it's totally soul destroying and there's really not much else like it. No1 really understands unless you're going through it. We are here for you and we will hopefully all get there together!!

@AZ1992X it could be early. I think the other thing I'm clutching straws at too 😂 I counted my first dpo as the day after my static smiley maybe I wasn't 10dpo & I was actually 9 ;) 😂😂 if I tell myself that might make me feel a little better 😂 but have a feeling I'm out this time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Loops01 onwards and upwards will see what the next few days bring & then Will start planning for cycle 8. ☺️ ❤️

To be honest with the lack of my normal feelings of cramps and heavy boobs I think I will be joining you! Getting spots as usual so probably still lacking enough progesterone. Been trying to eat for each cycle. Literally out of ideas. Good job on keeping your chin up, it's not easy. I am sure we will all look back when we have our hands full and be like pfft don't know why we worried so much haha.

@rosiej95 I’ve also counted that as day 1 and not sure if it is! Keep us posted.

So had a dream last night that I tested and had a bfp. Dreams are not a new thing with me I constantly dream..
anyway so woke up this morning like I need to test & im sure there is like a shadow of where the line is supposed to be.
My boyfriend can't see it & bless him he was so nice about it 😂 tried so hard to see it cause he knows how much it means ❤️ 😂
But I'm going to leave it 2 days (if I can 🤦🏼‍♀️) & test again.
I've had this most months tbf seeing lines that I've thought are there so could just be my brain showing me what I want to see 🙈😂

Oh fingers crossed @rosiej95. Maybe try other ones too? Not sure, never had any faintness of a line so I'm lost in that sense but yay!! There's still hope!

@rosiej95 I’ve still got my fingers crossed for you! ☺️

I don’t think I’ll feel any symptoms this week I’ve been wiped out by a bad cold so not feeling too great!

@Loops01 I've just used a ic I'm really trying hard not to over think it but I'm sure I can see another really really faint shadow on it?

I recon I'll end up testing tomorrow morning at this rate! I'm just so impatient!

@AZ1992X hope your feeling better soon
hopefully no symptoms is a good thing tho🤞🏻

Did you have many symptoms @rosiej95? I've had the odd wee pop like cramps the last few days but I'm only really 6DPO. I don't want to think it is anything but I swear every month I feel more from my body. Not sure if I am just more aware or if I am going a bit deranged haha

Hope you're cold gets better @AZ1992X

Any word on how @Lizbb @glow92 and the others are getting on? Won't let me tag everyone for some reason

Hi girls, thanks for asking @Loops01 I got a faint line on Monday at 9/10dpo and have been getting darker lines each day since!
I had cramping all weekend as if AF was going to show but must have been implantation, very excited but very anxious as early days. Hope you're all good 💜.

Oh wow! That's great news!!

Does that mean you are past your normal length of cycle? When should AF have shown?

Oh also - any early symptoms? I was really hoping this would be the month but have had no boob pain which I normally do by now. Taking it as not the best sign but fingers crossed. Great to hear of positive lines, even if they are weak!!

@Loops01 @loops01 hey hun and everyone. I'm getting their just tracking each day. First month testing. Currently CD 11 and the test line is going up which is good. Gonna start testing 2 times now and order a bbt today. Wanna make sure I'm ovulating after the mc in jan. I pray this is our month guys 🙏🤞🧸❤

Thanks for the update @Lizbb! Looks like you're close to ovulation!! I have never used a btt, mainly because my work shifts are all over the place (10wk shift pattern of 5 different shift hours) so I decided not to but let us know how you get on.

@km1990 @TTCat39 @LemonDrizzle44 any update?

@Loops01 last cycle AF came at 9DPO! I'm only 12/13dpo now but got a test line as dark as control line this morning.
I had cramping over the weekend, sore boobs but not bad, felt horrendous on Monday with fatigue and hunger! My temp has stayed up and resting heart rate on my watch also increased. Not much else to report at the moment though. Have booked an private early reassurance scan in a few weeks time, very on edge until then!

@Loops01😂😂I've learnt so much on here. Thanks hun. Will keep you posted. How you getting on?

@glow92 sounds like you may have missed AF then! How do you get your private scan? Did you go private in general or is it just a place you can call up and pay to get a scan?

@Lizbb I am only 5/6DPO. I had no lead up this month it was just 1 day it was neg in the morning and then peak face by afternoon so unsure if that was ovulation day or if the next day/day before was also. Its weird! Ran out of tests! Just the odd cramps /pops for the last 3 days on and off but nothing really. Could just be wind hahaha. Normally have sore boobs by now but nothing so I'm not hopeful this month for myself. Can't think of anything to really try or change next month! Literally out of ideas.

@Loops01 there is a place in the town I live that offers it from 7 weeks. Depending on where you live there's probably a few options have a google 🙂. I've referred myself to nhs today also, but I think all they do at this stage is take my details and make me an 8 week appointment.

Hi @Loops01 Yes, my update is that I'm CD1 as of today And on to cycle 5

Thanks @glow92 good to know! I'm trying to to research too much on what happens after that positive just in case!

@TTCat39 sorry to hear that! Keep those spirits up! Always someone here if you need to vent.

@Loops01 AF arrived for me the end of feb. Now CD9 of the next cycle, approaching ovulation within the next week.

@Loops01 litrally no symptoms.. my nipples hurt a couple of days ago & boobs have been a bit on & off making me aware they are there but apart from that nothing which is why I'm like? Did I really see a shadow or am I seeing what I want to see 🙈
My belly this afternoon tho feels like I've pulled muscles in my stomach from doing crunches. I'm hoping tomorrow's test either gives me a yes there's a line or no your seeing things 🤦🏼‍♀️

@glow92 that's great news! 😍 so pleased to hear you've got bfp's!
How are you feeling? ☺️

@Lizbb I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 ☺️

@TTCat39 sorry to hear af showed up :/
Hopefully next month she will stay away for you 😍

@LemonDrizzle44 good luck with ovulation 😃

Thank you @rosiej95 💜.
Weirdly, in the last 10mins I also have tummy muscles that feel like I've been doing crunches!
I'm getting wrong lines but I'm fairly on edge, probs will be for the next few weeks!

How many dpo are you?
