Hey everyone!

Is anyone else trying TTC #1?

I think I’m 9DPO although my cycles vary from 28-34 days so I’m really not sure. This is my first cycle TTC so I haven’t tracked ovulation.

I took a clear blue ultra early digital test this morning and BFN, I’ve heard digitals aren’t as accurate, is that true? (The way the test was laid and how I was sat meant the ‘not’ was in the shadow so for a second I thought it just said pregnant, was gutted!)

Any advice on not driving yourself mad during the TWW? 😂

@BexTTC thank you, just joined! 💜
Keep updated with your testing, excited for you 👶🏻

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 10:53

So I’m 12DPO today; tests up until yesterday where negative, I haven’t tested today becasue I’ve just basically told myself im out this month; just wiped and have some pinkish blood on my tissue.

AF isn’t due until Friday; could this be implantation bleeding this late after ovulation? 🙈

Do I get a digital for tomorrow?? I'm so anxious it's not real but that's 4 done today and all have light pink lines well within the time frame 😭

@BexTTC clear blue have a 6 days early digital that might work; I seen people say they normal clear clue digitalis don't show up as quick and say not pregnant. The 6 days early on has a light that flashes once you've sampled enough urine! It looks like you are definitely pregnant with 4 positive tests. 🙈 congrats again! ✨

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 12:00

@BexTTC Ahhh amazing!! Most definitely looking good!! I have read that even though digitals say they can detect early they're not as sensitive so don't be discouraged as you're still super early! You can't argue with 4 tests all with a line though so congratulations! ✨

@Nmmck93 Still keeping everything crossed that this is your cycle but at least you know next cycle will be nice and relaxed with your holiday and plenty of opportunity to BD!

@dormicumema You're still super early so don't be discouraged. I actually had a dreaded UTI make an appearance this weekend 😭 I know how you feel, this is only cycle 5 for me but it's really hard to not feel deflated. I just keep reminding myself that most couples with conceive in a year so fingers crossed we are closer to that cycle!

@Piglet34 Keep us updated if the usual spotting makes an appearance and fingers crossed this is your cycle! Hope the rest of your TWW is nice and chill!

@Bluebell0921 Owh sorry to hear AF came! Happy Birthday for next week and it's nice to hear you got to enjoy the weekend! I'm trying to be a lot more relaxed this cycle! I think it's easier said than done though!

Here's hoping this is a month of BFP's for us all and cant wait to hear how @BexTTC gets on! ✨

@Nmmck93 @kalixxx Thank you ladies, I'm keeping everything crossed those lines get darker, I couldn't find any early response tests so I'm going to order some online and take 1 in the next couple of days and a digital at the weekend 🤞✨️

Ttcdcno1 · 02/05/2023 12:57

Not quite sure I’m ready to believe it yet 🥹trying not to get too carried away

Massive congratulations @BexTTC finally some positive lines on this forum 😍

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:09

@Ttcdcno1 Yay! Fingers crossed! Looks nice a nice strong line to me, how many DPO are you?

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:10

@dormicumema Thank you! I'll update tomorrow and hopefully the lines are darker 🤞🤞💕

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 13:13

I’ve just took a test after possible implantation bleeding but stark negative.

  1. urine was massively diluted
  2. if it’s implantation and not AF then could be too early.
going to wait until Friday AF day and see then!

congrats @Ttcdcno1 keeps us updated along with @BexTTC 💜

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 13:34

@Nmmck93 yea if it was implantation it could take a couple days yet, keeping everything crossed you get a BFP soon 🤞🤞

Ttcdcno1 · 02/05/2023 13:39

@BexTTC thanks! 🥰11dpo today, af was due Thursday so almost made it to testing then but I caved this morning 😂

thanks @Nmmck93 💕fingers crossed for you too!

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 14:08

@Ttcdcno1 lol its so tempting isn't it! You're only 3 days ahead of me, keeping everything crossed our lines get darker over the next few days ✨️🤞

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 14:38

@Ttcdcno1 ahhh massive congratulations! So nice to see another BFP on here! May could be a lucky month for the thread ✨

@Nmmck93 I’ve read that after implantation it can take around 48 hours for your body to produce enough HCG to be detectable on a test so you’re probably too early! Fingers crossed for you!

@BexTTC I’ve found first response impossible to find in stores at the moment! Keep us updated! 🥰

@kalixxx I've ordered some from amazon along with digitals for the weekend ✨️ I did buy some clearblues today I'm tempted to try lol

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 14:59

@kalixxx yeah, maybe I should TRY and hold out until Thursday / Friday unless I wake up tomorrow with AF and this is her teasing!
its so annoying how possibly pregnancy and period symptoms are just identical 🤬

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 15:25

@BexTTC ahh let us know how you get on! Excited for you! 🥰

@Nmmck93 how many DPO are you? Sorry I know you said but it’s on the previous page so I can’t see it! 😅 but I know it’s so unfair how they’re basically the same! I usually always feel nauseous the week after ovulation and it gets me everytime! 🙄

OP posts:
Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 15:26

@kalixxx I'm 12dpo today, spotting when I wipe. AF due Friday & this spotting is massively unusual for me. 🙈

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 15:48

@kalixxx I couldn't help myself 🙈

@Nmmck93 I think if it's unusual then it could be a good sign! Everything is crossed for you! 🤞🤞✨️

kalixxx · 02/05/2023 16:22

@Nmmck93 ahhh that’s a really good sign if it’s not usual for you! I never spot so in the TWW I’m analysing when I wipe for blood 😭😂

@BexTTC amazing!! Can’t argue with 5 in a row! Have you told your partner yet or did you test together?

OP posts:
BexTTC · 02/05/2023 16:38

@kalixxx He knows but doesn't wanna get his hopes up yet till the digital which is fair enough lol

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 17:50

@kalixxx @BexTTC yeah it’s nearly everytime I wipe now; no proper cramps, had mild cramping / niggling earlier after the first wipe but nothing since.
only time will tell I guess, gunna try keep myself busy over the next few days and see if AF is going to show.

what’s funny was 3 videos have come up on my for you page on TikTok in the last few days and it was one of them generic fertility readings basically (if you’re watching this it’s meant for you) kind of thing & both said I’d find out May 6th that I’m pregnant. Obviously phones track what we look at etc and all my TTC googling this last 2 months is all I’ve done lol. But it’s funny because my period is due on the 5th lol.

Nmmck93 · 02/05/2023 17:52

@BexTTC okay, you can not argue with that many positives! Absolutely over the moon for ya! 💜 if you’re like me, I’ll literally only ever believe it when I see the words ‘pregnant’ on a digital lol. But 5 in a row! YAYY! 🎉

BexTTC · 02/05/2023 18:08

@Nmmck93 That's so weird because I've seen the same tiktoks and all my apps are telling me my tww is up on the 6th and that's when its telling me to test! I can't wait to see the results on a digital though 🥰
