Newbie looking for some support

[Peachycream]

Hi ladies,

I’ve been lurking for a few days, just seeing what the deal is, trying to work out some of the terminology used, mostly going to post but then getting scared and carry on lurking haha.

I don’t really have anyone I can talk about the TTC journey with in my real life as we aren’t telling anyone as it stands so I’m hoping maybe I can make a few friends here that I can obsess and stress out with 🤣

I’m currently CD 7 in my first cycle so tracking with OPKs every day right now so that I can get a clearer picture of my cycle each month.

I’m 30 and this will be our 1st,

If anyone has any advice/is in a similar position to me or just wants a natter I’d love to hear from you 😊

Xx

@Peachycream 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know right..! Thinking of it now I think im quite hyper sensitive about my body like if I pain in my chest I think this is it for me 😂 so this could all quite possibly be me being a hypercondric 🙈..❤

@HRP1990 gotta be positive and laugh or we'll cry 😂❤

Right ladies I'm off to sleep now but I hope we all wake up feeling nautious with sore boobs back ache and all the other symptoms 😂 night x

@Dannii892 oh my goshhhh!! I do that too!! 😂😂

Do we have any good news from anyone this morning? Sending BFP vibes xx

@Peachycream morning.. 10dpo and a lovely bfn lol

Oh no 🥺 well, you still have time so don’t be too disheartened yet lovely.

I decided not to test this morning, or I haven’t yet anyway, it could all change 😂

@Peachycream thanks lovely im going to take it as a pinch of salt.. literally everything I've read says don't test before 12dpo lol even the frer box .. you never know think ill wait till 15dpo now .. I would wait tbh lol shouldve taken my own advice 🙃

@Dannii892 does the box actually say that? That’s interesting! Makes sense though I guess.
Awh I’m sorry, it’s upsetting a little isn’t it, even when you’re mostly expecting nothing, there’s still that tiny part of you that’s gutted!

@Peachycream thanks lovely, it's just says there's a risk of getting a false negative if testing before 12dpo .. we still technically have 4days for magic to happen! But it it such looking for a 2nd line lol .. how are you feeling this morning x

Morning all ☺️ I’m CD20 today and still no peak on an OPK. Don’t know what my body is doing! 😭 I had a slight temp drop this morning on BBT so maybe today is the day 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Hope everyone else is ok ☺️

Sorry to hear about your BFN @Dannii892 ❤️

🧙🏻‍♀️ Got me at 5.20am this morning, she didn’t even let me lay in 😭. Ah well, here’s to a slice of cheese on toast for breakfast haha 🧀

@Dannii892 well that makes sense I guess, there is still hope then! 😂

@PurpleCat88 good morning lovely! Oooh that’s exciting that today could be the day!

@HRP1990 I’m sorry to hear that lovely, cheese party here we come!

I am slightly confused this morning, my LH seems to be slowly creeping up again, just ever so slightly day by day over the last 3, from basically nothing, so I dunno what that’s all about 😂

@Peachycream That’s random! Are you still using OPKs to satisfy the urge to POAS? 😂

@HRP1990 maaaaaaaybeeee 🤪

I know right? It’s like a minuscule amount, but enough that my graph has gone from a relatively straight line, now onto a curve haha. Maybe it’s just that I’ve been progressively more dehydrated over the last few days? I have all of the questions and none of the answers 😂

You know what would give you those answers @Peachycream? A pregnancy test

I have definitely heard that pregnancy hormones can cause OPKs to be positive, justtt saying!!

Sorry to hear AF got you @HRP1990, definitely treat yourself today.

I just tried that with my cheapies @HRP1990 😂 zilch.

Thank you @SkeletonSkins how’s the start of your cycle going for you? As much as I hate 🧙🏻‍♀️ arriving, at least she is showing up so there’s always a chance this month 🤞🏻

@Peachycream hang in there! What DPO are you I've forgotten? When is 🧙🏻‍♀️ due?

Aw no @Peachycream I was going to say a positive OPK late on in your cycle can indicate BFP sometimes. Did you use FMU for the OPK and SMU for the pregnancy test? There’s still hope!

Sorry for the BFN @Dannii892 and sorry that the evil 🧙arrived @HRP1990 💐

@HRP1990 only 10DPO 🧙 not due until the weekend.

It’s not that the OPKs are positive, just the line is getting darker each day, all I can assume is that I’m just getting more dehydrated, maybe I’ll drink more today and see what happens tomorrow?

@PurpleCat88 I used SMU for both, I kept it in the cup while I went to make a drink and waited for the OPK 😂 then I noticed it was higher than yesterday once I took the photo and uploaded it so I thought “meh, why not”

@Peachycream that is weird! I've stopped peeing on a stick now. My monitor stops me testing again once I've got a peak. Apparently ovulation tests can pick up other hormones too. All so confusing!

Sorry to hear 🧙‍♀️ has arrived @HRP1990 ... you definitely deserve a glass of wine and some yummy food!!

@Dannii892 that sucks but you've still got a few days so fingers and toes still crossed!

@PurpleCat88 urgh that's stressful. They say you don't ovulation a couple of months a year... honestly like it's not hard enough. I had a bit of a temp drop this month a day or two before my temp increase and ovulation .. so hopefully your BBT change is a good thing!

@Peachycream like @SkeletonSkins and @PurpleCat88 said it could indicate pregnancy? I know you got a BFN but the latest for implantation is 12DPO so there’s still time! I’ve read loads of stories about women getting a BFN, which lead to a BFP days later 🙌🏻

thanks for the support ladies 😊 .. im not going to threat about it if I'm not than theres always next month right .. ive read so many threads where woman just don't get bfps until much later and 🧙‍♀️ is still more than a week away (not sure if that's a good thing now).
@HRP1990 sorry to hear that the witch arrived! ❤
@PurpleCat88 ❤
@KayL1988 ❤
@Peachycream - yes definitely still hope .. imagine you get implantation which apparently can take a few days probably wouldn't get a bfp until 14-15 dpo .. fingers and toes crossed for us all heart ❤

@HRP1990 boring! Start of the cycle is so boring isn’t it 😂 I’m CD8 today. Might start taking opks from today even though I’m fairly sure I won’t ovulate for ages yet as I have long cycles. I started taking conceive plus ovulation support this month though and it does seem to have had an impact so I’m going to start opking early just incase it does fix my cycle. My skins gone crap which is always a sign I’m hormonal ha!

For us who got a bfn testing at 10dpo .. lol still hope.. 10%! ❤

@SkeletonSkins it is boring but using OPK’s early gives you something to do 😂! I usually test day after AF has finishes just encase I ovulate early.

@KayL1988 thanks Kay! I purchased a BBT on Amazon today so you’ll have to give me some pointers!

@Dannii892 love the positive attitude haha. In the back of my mind I’m hoping AF is actually implantation bleeding 😂 wishful thinking 😬

That’s a really low percentage @Dannii892! Well that gives us some hope 😂 either way, I’m quite content with the BFN so I think I’ll leave it now until the end of the week, I wasn’t planning to test today anyway. What about you will you try again?

@KayL1988 it’s weird right? I don’t even know why I’m still doing it to be honest, I think it’s just giving me something to do 😂

@HRP1990 how you doing lovely? Is the cheese board out yet? 😂
