TTC baby #1 7DPO

[Sunnygal]

Hi ladies, after stalking every one else’s threads for months I’ve decided to make my own 😄 Im 7DPO today and have had 2 negative tests so far. Im 31, and we’ve been ttc for about 4 months now. I know it’s a bit too early to test so I’m staying hopeful. I just want to hear from anyone who’s in a similar situ so we can offer some support for each other ☺️ x

Hi @Sunnygal we have only really been trying for 2 cycles but came off the pill in June. I'm around 5/6 dpo according to my app but had more ovulation symptoms over the weekend so not sure. I will be taking a test on 20/11 if AF hasn't arrived. How are you feeling? any symptoms?

Hey! I’m 8dpo today, took my first test this morning which was negative. This is month 5 for me so feels like it’s starting to drag on a little now as we were hoping we’d be pregnant by the end of the year.

Hey both ☺️ what kind of symptoms have you had @Beepops22? I'm feeling good, no symptoms at all apart from some cramps which isn't out of the ordinary (AF due next Wednesday). @Staciejade54 I totally get you 😞 8dpo is still very early though so theres still hope for this month ☺️ When are you testing next?

Fingers crossed for you both!!

@Sunnygal yeah it is still super early, I’ll probably test in the next few days. I don’t have any symptoms really this cycle although last cycle I had lots and it was negative so it can be frustrating

@Sunnygal no symptoms but I am trying my best to ignore anything so far as I drove myself mad last month symptom spotting 🤣

Hi all. Watching this thread as I've recently started my own TTC journey. I'm 37 and hoping its not too late! I came off the pill at the end of May and really decided to go for it last month although we've not been careful from the start! No results yet 😬. I've bought ovulation tests so I'm a little bit more aware and hoping that I will conceive sooner rather than later.
Anyone else a bit older and trying? Would love to hear from you.

@Beepops22 @Staciejade54 tell me about it 🤣 today I feel really nauseous but I don't know if it's just my mind playing tricks on me lol. I also took another test this morning at 8dpo and it was negative. Welcome @Egsnow ☺️ I'm the same as you we've never really been careful but only started properly trying recently. I thought it would be easier somehow! What dpo are you? X

I think I'm around 7dpo today! I didn't do ovulation tests this month as I'm on my 8th cycle so getting a bit bored of it now 😆 My boobs usually hurt sooo much in the week before my period but they don't yet. Hoping that might be a sign?!

hi all i hope you dnt mind me joining. im 32, got married over a year ago and being dtd unprotected since but was not actively ttc. However, I have been ttc since early this year and never had a bfp, also did a few checks as i thought i may have pcos but was rold no concerns re bloods and ultrasound...anyway im currently 7dpo and due af next week. Last night i was nauses and cramping but i think this is due to ibs which doesnt help as this mirrors some pregnancy symptoms i also experience pms symptoms anyway so would be hard to symptom spot..i have decided to stop doing hpt the last couple mnths since they were always negative and will only test if i miss af... Since this year i have noticed my cycles seem to be shorter. I used to have 28-30 day cycles and now im having 24-27 days😩😩

@GeorgiaGK ohh it could be a sign! Would you have a regular cycle? For me I'm usually every 28 days and I think I tracked ovulation once 🫣 I think I always ovulate around day 14! Hi @carsty! That's reassuring that you have had tests done and everything seems okay. I also have IBS which I think is probably contributing to me feeling nauseous. What day are you due AF? Not sure what could be making your cycles shorter 😕 have you been tracking ovulation? X

@Sunnygal I tried to track ovulation with some cheapies but was probly not doing it right and never had a strong peak as i usually just test on one day😅...but honestly im not sure if im ovulating but do get dull aches or cramps on my side as if i am...im not sure if my cycle is shortining due to hormones and or stress or just getting older😅...im due af in a weeks time.

@Sunnygal I'm usually between 26-27! Fingers crossed this is the month! We used pre seed this month because I've heard some good things. Not really sure what I'm meant to be looking out for 😆

@Sunnygal I'm only 3DPO so watching all your updates with interest. I've never taken any notice to my cycle before (mainly because I have been on the pill forever) so this is all new to me. Excited with caution is probably my feeling atm! I'm normally a 25/26 day-er and this is the first month I'm trying the ovulation sticks. All a bit of a faff really! But it'll be worth it if it works.
I'm taking the pre-pregnancy supplements from tesco to give them a whirl. Might have to get something else if I have no joy!x

Oh and due AF on 22nd Nov 👎🏻

Hey! So I’ve decided to sign up after reading these forums for a few months.I’m 29 and I’ve been TTC 1st baby since August this year with no luck so far. Last month I wasn’t sure if I had a MMC or strange period. I’m very regular 28 days (and have been my whole life even when I was on the pill I bled routinely) and generally ovulating around CD13-15 according to the OPK but last month I was a day late and on AF predicted date I had intense cramping and then she arrived a day later but more pink blood than normal. This month currently 7 DPO and DTD on ovulation day and every other day from CD9. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Fingers crossed for some BFPs!! Also anyone who has a high BMI but generally healthy (big boobs and bum but really short lol) please holla and let me know if there is anything different you’re doing except eating healthy and taking the vitamins (also taking COQ12, Chloine Bitrate, Vegan Omega 3, Vit D and folic acid)

Hi @Anonrongirl ☺️ good luck for your bfp! Do you know when your going to test? I'm quite tall at 5'9 and a size 12/14 I walk everyday and try to get some high intensity exercise about twice a week, the eating part is hard tho I like food too much 🤣 sounds promising if you dtd every other day around ovulation, we can only try our best and then see what happens, fx for you! X

@GeorgiaGK I've not used pre seed before! Wonder if it's made a difference, keep us updated ☺️

How's everyone feeling? 💕

All good! Not really any symptoms but I think I might do a test tomorrow at 9dpo. It's a bit early but I can't wait 😆 how are you doing? X

@GeorgiaGK ohh good luck for testing tomorrow ☺️ I have just had nausea, cramping and low appetite since yesterday but that could be AF on her way who knows! I done a test this morning at 9dpo and it was negative but again think it might be too soon. Ran out this morning to get an frer might take it tomorrow 🤭 x

Eeek that's so exciting! Fingers crossed it's our month. Haha I also bought a frer on Amazon last night so it should be arriving today 😆 the amount of money I've wasted on tests!! X

I'm trying to hold out until next weekend to test so that AF is officially late. 😬
No symptoms so not very hopeful again this month

Hi all any updates today? Im cramping almost like when af is iminent and sharp pains. im due af in 5 days

@Beepops22 I wish I had your willpower! @GeorgiaGK @carsty my update is that I tested this morning with a frer and it was negative at 10dpo 😕 I'm starting to feel less and less hopeful. However I'm still very nauseous but maybe I'm coming down with something! How is everyone else getting on? @carsty maybe that's implantation cramps? X

Oh no 😢 I'm sorry to hear that but there still is a chance! I also tested today at 9dpo on a frer and negative but still pretty early I guess x
