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 )Sad

Praying for my BFP this monthHalo

Anybody else in the same boat??

It was so lovely thank you. Hard not to imagine what it will be like taking my own children on holiday! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 We have a dog and the more broody I get the more I treat the dog like a baby 🤣

Have you tested at all?

I'm in bed with a hot water bottle on my stomach 😔

@TTC2022newbie aww I’m glad, it’s good to be busy during the TWW. Haha I’m the same with our Labrador 😂

I haven’t, I’m so surprised at how strong I’ve stayed ha. If AF doesn’t come tomorrow I’ll test first thing on Tuesday morning.

Pretty sure I’m out though, this is how I feel before my period usually.

Will you be trying OPKs next month? Xx

TTC2022newbie · 09/10/2022 09:29

@RJS20 I can't decide whether to do OPKs this month or not. I don't need to decide until AF has gone so I'm trying not to think about it.

I think I'd rather try another month of just DTD as much as possible.

I had my UTI last month and we hardly DTD in the fertile window.

DH already thinks I'm too obsessive I that I need to relax so not sure OPKs will help with that 🤣

Wow I'm so impressed you haven't tested, I definitely need to do that this time. 👍 Well done, hope it pays off and you get a BFP 🤞
I have everything crossed for you!

TTC2022newbie · 09/10/2022 09:31

@RJS20 I might ask DH to hide all my OPKs and tests 😂 like I have to hide the chocolate in the house from him 🤣

Firsttimetrying2022 · 09/10/2022 10:00

@TTC2022newbie
I've asked my DH to hold on to the pregnancy tests so I won't be tempted 🤣 he's got much more self control than me

CheeryCupcake · 09/10/2022 10:51

Hi everyone, hope I can join this chat too! Currently TTC baby 1, cycle 1, in the TWW, CD13 (short cycles). Trying to keep busy during the wait. It's nice to have some company on this journey we're all going through.

xogossipgirlxo · 09/10/2022 11:11

Hi there. Also ttc baby no.1, cycle 1. I am currently on cd26, 8dpo. I won’t cave and test before expected period date, unless obvious period symptom then no point testing anyway! Fingers crossed for everyone

TTCBaby12022 · 09/10/2022 17:18

Snap with you two girls TTC baby #1 cycle 1 - 1 DPO I can see this TWW being long already! Wishing good luck to everyone and I can’t wait to see some BFP on the thread I love seeing those 2 lines on a test 😊🤞🤞

@TTC2022newbie I’m going to stick with OPKs I think as I have no idea when I’m ovulating at the mo. They made me more chill I think, crazy over the days I had a peak but not so much guess work.

Ahh yes, glad the antibiotics sorted that. You back to 100% now?

Well DH said I was just wasting money and then getting upset so best wait and if it’s meant to be it’ll be. Hoping this more chill approach helps. If AF arrives tomorrow I’m going to the pub as a treat 😂

I’ll keep you up to date! Xxx

RJS20 · 10/10/2022 16:24

Afternoon everyone,

So AF is officially late….but I’ve had a BFN! 🤷🏻‍♀️

How is everyone else getting on? Xx

Firsttimetrying2022 · 10/10/2022 16:39

@RJS20 5 or 6 dpo(didn't track this month as DH and I 'agreed' I need to relax a bit 😅 so not 100% sure).

Thought I had some mild cramps earlier today but we were also travelling this weekend which sometimes affects my tummy (TMI, sorry) so not sure if I'm just symptom spotting again

Firsttimetrying2022 · 10/10/2022 16:39

Fingers crossed your BFN turns into a BFP!

@Firsttimetrying2022 we were the same this month, it was taking over our lives.

Never TMI, that’s what the group is for. What cycle are you in?

Well I had one very small and pale spot of blood last night when I wiped and then that’s been it. I have cramps, feel sick, back ache, sore boobs and my legs feel tender, I’m gonna test again tomorrow if nothing happens tonight xx

Firsttimetrying2022 · 10/10/2022 16:46

I'm cycle 3 so still early days

RJS20 · 10/10/2022 16:47

and I haven’t stopped peeing all day 😂😂

Firsttimetrying2022 · 10/10/2022 16:52

That sounds quite promising 🤞🤞🤞🤞

TTC2022newbie · 10/10/2022 17:26

@RJS20 🤞🤞🤞 the waiting and not knowing is so hard!!

Fluffster99 · 10/10/2022 18:05

In the TWW now I think… I was using OPKs but didn’t seem to catch any surge so I don’t really know what happened. Hopefully it happened and I just missed it. Trying to stay relaxed about it!

Midnight00 · 10/10/2022 20:04

Fingers crossed for some positive news on this thread. Any more updates?

I'm out now with AF today. But know I didn't catch ovulation last cycle. Now more knowledge and have got CB OPKs and 'fertility cup ready for this cycle

RJS20 · 11/10/2022 05:46

Ahhh I’m going crazy! My period is late which never happens, I’m like clock work so I’m like 90% sure I’m pregnant but I’ve got another negative pregnancy test!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Midnight00 · 11/10/2022 06:55

@RJS20 You're not out till AF arrives 🤞🤞

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/10/2022 10:24

Does anyone know if more break outs on face can be a sign of pregnancy? I normally get some spots around ovulation and then nothing for AF but seem to have a lot of break outs at the moment. I'm sure I'm not ovulating as I'm on CD22 and I'm usually quite regular with ovulation on CD15 or 16. Latest I've had ever (as long as I've been using natural cycles as contraception at least) was CD17

I would said yes, the increase in hormones can cause acne.

I also have the clearest skin and I have 3 spots around my chin.

@RJS20 fingers crossed we'll both see a BFP soon!

I’ve got everything crossed for you! @Firsttimetrying2022 Im going to test again tomorrow morning x

Firsttimetrying2022 · 11/10/2022 18:36

I've got some FRER that I think I could take starting Thursday but will try to hold out until AF is due next Tuesday
