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

@Sunnygal @GeorgiaGK Well as they say we are not out until AF shows...I think its still early days some people get bfp days after their af is due...

I'm 29 and been ttc for 8 months now! On my second box of Proceive so hopefully something will happen soon, my partner is 39 so I'm thinking maybe his swimmers are a bit slow

Had to have an x-ray done today, falling over my own feet again. So they had to do a test before they would x-ray me and was negative so think I'm probably out again this month as I am about 10dpo now if my app is correct.

@Beepops22 sorry to hear that. Always next month! Hope you get better soon.
I've been driving myself mad over the weekend symptom spotting 😬 the wait kills me! Its probably all in my head but starting to feel a bit of bloating and felt a bit sick yesterday. Could have just been the massive roast I ate though 😂

@Beepops22 oh dear, i hope you feel better soon...still a possibility since only dpo, some people bfp shows a bit later....im currently cramping so i might be out this month. af due in 3 days.

@carsty thank you. Fingers crossed for a BFP. AF not due until Friday so will test again at the weekend
I feel a bit crampy today as well
When are you hoping to test?

@Beepops22 If Af dont show by thurs ill test the weekend.

@carsty good luck! I have everything crossed for you x

Keep us posted @carsty and @Beepops22 and fingers crossed none of us are out of the game this month!
Are people using a particular brand to test? I stood in teaco and stared and the selection and I'm thinking it could get very expensive to keep buying the clear blue ones. Anyone got any experience with the supermarket own brands or online tests?

@Egsnow I know a lot of people on here buy the cheap strips on line and then use a first response to back it up. First response aren't too expensive on Amazon but I wouldn't want to use too many each month lol

i have 1 cheapie left and holding out on getting anymore hpts to avoid spending as i did the past few months...

Morning all how are yall doing? Af due anytime now...but today im having a weird headache and feeling off, also struggling to concentrate a bit not sure if its just tiredness due to work or pms...cramping has reduced somewhat.

Hi @carsty how are you feeling any symptoms? I'm due AF between now and Saturday so planning on testing on Sunday if no AF 🤞 hoping my negative test from Sunday that the nurse did was just too early.

Hello - can I join? I am 7dpo cycle 3. Needing some positive pants energy as I am already convinced I’m out! We bd four days before ovulation so I feel like we did a good job

does anyone check their knickers 10x a day to see what’s occurring down there?

does anyone know what name they would use if they were having a boy or a girl? I need some lightheartedness!

@NarnieJoy hi Narnie! Welcome!
I check my boobs a 100 times a day to see if they are sore lol!
We'd like botanical names but can't think of any nice boy ones only girl ones haha
What about you? And have you had any symptoms etc? When are you trying to hold out until to test?

@Beepops22 the boob checking is real, however, I never have sore boobs so it really would be a sign for me. I have moved on from the checking if my nipples have changed colour stage!

I think I would like the name Phoebe for a girl and Solomon (Sol) for a boy! What is an example of a botanical name (one you love but won’t be using if you’re worried about people seeing!)

@Beepops22 nope no symptoms at the mo. How about you?
@NarnieJoy ooh pheobe is a nice name and ive been checking down below a few times especially as af is due any moment...i had milky discharge (sorry if tmi) this morning so i think im probly out as thats sign af is coming for me.

@carsty it could also be a BFP sign, heard that it can be
I've just been a bit crampy but that could be anything
@NarnieJoy I think like daisy or willow are my faves. I love Phoebe!

AF was meant to start today but hasn't yet eeeek! Bet it will start now I've posted this 😆

@Beepops22 i have ibs so stomach cramping is normally just gas moving around 🤦‍♀️😂 it’s so hard when you haven’t been pregnant before to know what to look out for or what things feel like !

a few of my friends have mentioned the name willow recently - I used to know a willow and she was lovely!

Hello! I could have almost wrote your post myself 😆 . I’m 31, around 5 dpo (look at me - second post in and getting down with the lingo). We’ve been trying since I came off the pill in July but only this month done a digital ovulation test.
Unfortunately I’ve been on this rodeo before and was TTC previously for years before an endometriosis diagnosis but after surgery last year, was told things should be normal… I’ve still got something in the back of my mind telling me it’s a long road ahead. My gut usually right unfortunately as I had to fight my ass off for endo investigations! Anyway hope you have some good news this month 🥰 it’s always positive to hear genuine stories from people that are transparent with their TTC journeys because I think in the past I’ve been ‘blindsided’ by the fact no one has shared this before. It’s only when you’re on this train do you realise just how much you’re not alone ❤️ Important we all stick together to support one another along the way xx

@NarnieJoy I never noticed how many cramps I get until I started TTC
@Yolo23 Welcome to the crazy lingo! You soon pick it up.
Fingers crossed for us all 🤞

lol@NarnieJoy i second tgat regarding ibs, im always bloated and feeling movement in my stomach as well as abdo pain...the symptons mirror pms and pregnancy so its hard to tell otherwise...hence noe ill just have to wait until af is missed as an indicator...

@carsty i am also a wait till AF has not come tester - I like to live in hope for a couple more days! What I couldn’t cope with is ambiguity of a squinter Haha

Hi! I thought I’d jump on this if that’s okay? So excited to get to meet people and share their journeys ttc :-)
Im 33 and on cycle 3 for baby #1. It’s so exciting but so nervous too! How’s everyone getting on? xx
