TTC baby 1

[ttcbaby12023]

Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )

Praying for my BFP this month

Anybody else in the same boat??

@ImpatienceOfASaint are you going to test again? Fingers crossed it turns into a BFP!

I’m going to try and hold out until Friday I think… lots of niggling pains on my right hand side too. Just don’t want to get my hopes up!

Hi, mind if I join? I’m ttc my first, third month of trying and ovulated on Saturday. The wait already feels like forever, trying so hard to not let it consume me

@ImpatienceOfASaint 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Welcome! @Misspotterscat

Feeling really disheartening today.
I think I'm out this cycle despite having a variety of symptoms and been pretty convinced we actually DTD on the right days this month.

I had spotting yesterday and today which I always get just before AF. I think AF is due Monday/Tuesday so probably 10dpo today.

Tempted to take a test tomorrow morning because even if it's a BFN I can't feel any more disappointing than I do today 😔

I felt optimistic yesterday and literally thought I can do this no matter how long it takes.

Today I just feel crushed and so deflated!!

I struggle with my moods and depression anyway and the TTC journey is just so hard 😢

@TTC2022newbie i don’t want to I still false hope but could the spotting be anything else eg implantation? Though I appreciate its quite late

@ImpatienceOfASaint hoprfully not just an evap!!!

hope you all do not mind me joining the thread in 10DPO on cycle 7 of tracking and cycle 10 of trying for #1. Who knew how hard this journey would be!
DTD all through fertile period up to and including ovulation day - first month we DTD so many times in fertile period! Been testing FMU since 6DPO which is probably far too early I know. All BFN and I can’t stop POAS and I can’t stop thinking about it and I keep praying for a BFP. Reluctant to rule myself out until 14DPO so I’m going to just keep testing and give up after that. Literally soul crushing.

@TTC2022newbie I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I struggle with general anxiety and depression and not being able to control this process has been really emotional for me. I hope you're looking after yourself in the next few days!

@TTC2022newbie sadly AF started today before I could test again! At least didn’t waste a test I suppose, and also I think my cycles are shortening so at least it’s less of a lengthy wait each time. Hope you’re feeling ok, have you tested any more?

AF appears to have stopped again. Now getting ready to whip myself into a frenzy wondering if it’s implantation bleeding…

@ImpatienceOfASaint @TTC2022newbie any updates on AF?

I’m now 12DPO and had some slight light pink discharge. Been testing every morning getting bfn. Thinking this may be AF showing up now. Don’t know how much longer I can cope with these high emotions and disappointment.

Hey, I think I'm 11 dpo and BFN this morning so I think I'm out. Had the usual spotting that I get 4/5 days before AF and would make me on time to start on Monday ish.

I feel ok ish about it. But I totally agree the emotions and disappointment is so hard. I just want it to not consume my mind and moods so much but in some ways it means so much to me I can't just forget about it and go with the flow.

My mindset changes everyday 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ it's so exhausting!!

Yes not being able to control this is spot on what is so hard.

Thank you, yes definitely need some self care if/when AF comes again in a few days.

Hope you are doing ok?

@TTC2022newbie I'm alright thank you. Just trying to distract myself as best I can - going for a lot of walks to try and relax etc

@ttcbaby12023 @Firsttimetrying2022 sorry to hear you're both struggling! I'm also in the depression and anxiety club stopped my antidepressants a few months before this journey and sometimes its hard especially before AF when all the hormones are raging. Hoping we all get there soon. I've started light jogging, yoga and meditation because I never do anything by halves 😂😂

Hello - can I join please?

I’ve just entered cycle 11 of ttc. Although we took quite a relaxed approach to start with I’ve found the past two/three months of ttc much harder. I think it’s mentally coming closer to the 12 month mark that is making me feel a bit disheartened by it all. Not helped by literally everybody around me seemingly being pregnant with number 2 or 3.

I’m on CD9 so coming into the best part of the month and feeling a lot more optimistic than I was last week! Started OPKs today and have een taking EPO for the first time this month.

Fingers crossed we all get our bfp in November!

AF in full force as of this morning so I’m definitely out for this month!

Are we all out of luck this month ladies? I had faint positives and now nothing and af just started this morning. It's light but I can feel the heaviness so don't quite think it's implantation!

im 5 days late but negative tests and don’t feel like it’s going to be positive but equally no idea what’s going on. Just so stressful

9dpo today. I caved and tested first thing this morning and no line, will test again is AF is late but think I’m out

@Saturnsmoon Hi! Sorry you’ve been finding it harder! We are on cycle 9 (but if you take away the months we had covid it’s cycle 7) so know how you feel as you get closer to 12! Similar to you, we started relaxed and then was like errr why’s it now 7 months in!!

we’re now trying all sorts… separated out my vitamins, taking EPO too, got fertility lube for the first time this month and trying to exercise / lose weight between us… we aren’t even big people, just haven’t been the healthiest over summer etc! I don’t know if we can do anything else than wait for luck to be on our side!

@ttcbaby12023 Ahh sorry you’ve think it’s AF and the faint positives! Maybe see how the next few days go? I hope you’ve just had some off BFN’s and it’s implantation!

Ovulating now so 🤞🏼

5dpo for me. Sorry@ttcbaby12023 and @Misspotterscat!

Another early loss for me ladies,

Still showing faint positives, been bleeding heavily since my last post. Just awful, feels like I'm never gonna get there.

Oh @ttcbaby12023 I'm so sorry 😞

Sending lots of love, it's so shit and so unfair x

I'm so sorry 😞 that's so shit! We so don't deserve any of this 😔

No AF yet.

I tested on Saturday at 11pdo (I think) and BFN.
I also had spotting on Thursday and Friday last week (which is common for me).
I've had what I assume is heartburn on Monday, don't think I've ever had it before, like a burning in my chest/heart.
So I think I ovulated 2 weeks ago yesterday as I got a strong OPK positive but I also didn't use the OPKs properly, only did three.

My app still thinks I'm due tomorrow. On CD 25 and had a 28 cycle last month so could still be due on Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not tested since Saturday but getting tempted to test tomorrow, kinda want to hold off though!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just finding it mentally easier not testing!!

Just done two tests (different brands) and I can see a faint line on both. 🤞Kinda hoping it would be bolder with FMU (did one last night and was faint too) but no AF either yet so all good so far I guess.

This is the closest I've ever been to BFP 😬🤞
