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??

Fingers crossed the line becomes stronger over the next few days!!

Does anyone else feel like DTD is becoming more like a chore? This month we've agreed to not track anything (temp or OPKs) and just DTD every 2-3 days across the whole month but it's been hard to make it fun when trying to squeeze it around work and everything else going on ...

@TTC2022newbie

Everything crossed for you!

@Firsttimetrying2022 I know what you mean, we definitely got to this and having a month or two off and being like non commital about it helps! We’re now back onto concentrating on good days but instead of telling my OH “this day” I’ll tell him like “this week is a good week” and let it naturally fall on whatever day! It has made it less pressure and resulted in dtd everyday!

Argh 9DPO and this evening the pains are really feeling exactly like the ones I get the day before AF. But AF not due for another four days and is never usually early.

Because the pain is so similar I keep thinking maybe AF has started but (sorry TMI) but it's just quite heavy discharge, which I never usually get.

Determined not to test until AF is due.

Trying not to get too down and hold onto hope a bit. Ugh. It's so draining all this isn't it?

So draining!!

I had spotting last Thursday which is so common for me 3/4 days before AF yet I have no AF yet and a faint BFP this morning, boobs are hurting today too.

I was so disheartened and sad last week when I got the usual spotting but I guess you just never know until AF arrives or you get a BFP.

I feel better not testing, I have more hope, otherwise I get really down and feel low with a BFN.

I tested last Saturday which I thought was 11dpo and BFN but I think I'm probably more like 12/13dpo now really.

Just hoping for more BFP in this group and for them to stick. 🤞😘

I tested again this morning 12dpo. Negative. I feel so down about it today, need to pick myself up and move on to next cycle

@TTC2022newbie congrats on your BFP!

@Misspotterscat So sorry, I'm finding it harder and harder to stay positive each month too

I had such a vivid dream of birth and holding the baby last night so feel really sad waking up and it not being real 😞

3dpo and bbt has risen so confirms I’ve ovulated when I thought! Fingers crossed cycle 9 is ours 🤞🏼🤞🏼

AF due on Sunday - so far I've done alright in terms of symptom spotting but I'm off work this week so worried it's going to be difficult. Any tips on how to not go crazy this week?

Morning all! Just thought I’d check in and see how everyone is doing? 💕

Hi @RJS20 how are you doing?

Pretty sure my period will arrive today.

BFN again this morning and all my usual signs including period pains.

Absolutely gutted.

Next month we're having some tests done so at least we have a plan to focus on.

Hope you're OK

@RJS20 @monsteramunch Hey both! I’m 5dpo today. Bbt is still rising but doing a day 21 progesterone test in 2 days time to check. If all ok then it confirms my cycles are ok hormone levels wise.

Sorry you think AF is coming! But it’s good you have a plan going forward!

Hello @monsteramunch I am good thanks. I have a bit of cold but I think most people have it at the mo.

Aww I’m so sorry to hear that, how long have you been trying for?

Hello @Bananatoast123 fingers crossed you get your BFP this month.

According to Flo I’m 9dpo and had some spotting last night, AF is due in a few days but I’m not really tracking anything and we are just winging it this month as tracking was making me miserable xx

How's everyone doing ? For me AF is due on Sunday but I've started feeling light cramps today ... but worried because my last period was a few days early which never usually happens for me so if this one is early too I'm worried there might be something going on.

Trying to wait patiently and take it day by day but that's not really something I'm good at

It's so hard isn't it? It feels almost impossible not to get preoccupied with it. Have you been trying for quite a few cycles?

My body is being cruel to me in that I'm 3 days late for my period (so clinging onto hope) but having all symptoms minus bleeding (sore boobs, skin breakout, backache and horrible cramps) but did another digital test this morning... and a BFN.

Just wish it would arrive now so I can write off this month, let myself be sad for a couple of days and then focus on the next month.

@monsteramunch it's our fourth cycle so still relatively early on. I just feel hyper aware of everything going on with my body and I think if something isn't quite the same as 'normal' i get freaked out. I'm sure if we weren't trying a slightly earlier and lighter period wouldn't have concerned me at all ...

Sorry to hear you're struggling as well - hopefully the test will turn positive soon! You're not out until AF shows!

@RJS20 Tracking was making me like that too so we stopped from June to October! I’ll probably just track this cycle and just wing it for December! It is difficult isn’t it, I’m not sure I have the motivation for another cycle if this doesn’t work!

Started having cramps and some nausea today :( i think AF might show tomorrow which is upsetting both because it means another cycle hasn't worked but also because it would again be unusually early for me the second time in a row making me worried that something is going on

Morning, hope everyone is well.

Bit of an update….

Congratulations!

Thank you! The one month I drink and I fall pregnant 😂 typical.

Congrats @RJS20
