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 ah that's crazy! I can't wait to see the results on a digital for you! So exciting 💜

kalixxx · 03/05/2023 08:06

@BexTTC how are you feeling this morning, can’t wait to see your BFP on a digital! 🥰

@Nmmck93 thats so weird! With all my TTC Googling I’ve never got anything pregnancy related on my for you page!

I hope you manage to keep yourself busy in the next few days then we get to see a BFP from you!! Fingers crossed for you✨

@kalixxx Nauseous lol but otherwise OK, here are this mornings tests 🥰
Early response test will be here today and I'll likely nip out and get a digital lol

@kalixxx aw I told myself last night that this is AF so I woke up this morning to be in full AF but nope, went for a wee and wiped and the tiniest bit of pinkish blood on toilet paper! Honestly think my body is playing tricks and it’s going to spot until Friday then have full blown AF. 🙈 only time will tell.

@BexTTC awww looking good! 💜

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 08:29

@Nmmck93 when are you planning to test? On Saturday? I really hope you get a BFP ❤️

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 08:33

@BexTTC ill probably do Friday or Saturday, i had early test strips arrive yesterday morning just wee cheapies that I’ll probably just test on.
I wouldn’t be surprised if AF shows before then though. I’m 13dpo today so it’s just a waiting game as tests up until yesterday where all negative 🙈 hoping it’s a BFP but we’ll see

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 09:18

@Nmmck93 I've read loads of stories of people not getting a BFP till well after 13 dpo so you're definitely not out! ✨️

Piglet34 · 03/05/2023 16:57

Awww congratulations @BexTTC @Ttcdcno1 , it's about time we had some more BFPs on this thread 💕 and @Nmmck93 really holding out hope for you as well! Xx

So 6dpo for me and so far no spotting and it usually comes bang on this day, so I guess that's something although will probs come tomorrow! Instead I have quite a lot of pale yellow CM, no idea what that means 😅 I had my consultation today and my ovarian reserve is really good which am happy about and everything looked normal in my scan apart from maybe an issue with left ovary. There is a cyst (maybe endo) and looks like it's folded round attached to the back of my uterus. Trying not to worry too much for now but maybe will get an MRI or tube scan in a month or two to find out more

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 17:42

Thank you @Piglet34 🥰

Mixed news then, try and stay positive though! Fingers crossed this is your cycle as well ✨️

I done a digital earlier but I didn't do it right so it errored, £10 down the pan but on the bright side my first response tests came in and look 😍

Nmmck93 · 03/05/2023 19:37

Girls I need someone to talk me out of testing tomorrow, my patience is -1000 😂
AF due tomorrow & the spotting is still there. A tiny bit has transfered into the liner this evening & when I wipe it still the tiniest bit. I just don't want to be disappointed and feel I should have the willpower to give it another few days and wait until AF is like 2 days late.

I NEED SOMEONE WITH WILL POWER TO SEND IT MY WAY PLEASE 😂🙈

BexTTC · 03/05/2023 23:10

@Nmmck93 I think you've done bloody well to wait this long tbh! Another couple of days isn't to bad, just try to keep busy

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 09:48

@BexTTC oh I woke up and tan straight to the toilet this morning so I wasn’t tempted to think about testing because once I have done my FMU without testing I find it easier to withhold.

still very slightly spotting, AF due today according to Premom as it’s exactly 14 days after ovulation. Not sure what to expect. Deffs think I’ll test tomorrow morning if no sign of her by then. The waiting game is so annoying 🙈 I don’t feel like I’m pregnant, just because the spotting is so unusual it’s what makes me think I could get a BFP. 😂

BexTTC · 04/05/2023 10:11

@Nmmck93 you can hold out 1 more day easily! Definitely test tomorrow if AF hasn't showed but I'm keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🤞 I think the fact its so unusual could be a good sign

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 10:13

@BexTTC aw my OH has said hold out to Saturday but I think holding out until tomorrow is more than enough torture 😂 I know, I keep telling myself because it's unusual it could be a good sign. 🤞🏻

BexTTC · 04/05/2023 10:27

@Nmmck93 as I said you've done so well waiting this long, I clearly couldn't do it 😅
Tomorrow AF will be officially late so I think that's a perfect day to test ✨️

kalixxx · 04/05/2023 17:01

@Nmmck93 I agree with above you’ve done sooo well to hold off, I could never 😅 I’d say the spotting seems to be a good sign! If you do test tomorrow let us know how you’re getting on!

@BexTTC amazing to see such a strong like! I’ve loads of reviews of people getting errors with digitals, such a waste! But you can’t argue with all the positive tests you’ve had! 🥰

OP posts:
BexTTC · 04/05/2023 17:42

@kalixxx Honestly am so annoyed lol, I've got different ones coming tomorrow that have the light to show when you've dipped it enough so hopefully get on better with those lol

I've literally just got off the phone with the midwife and got my first scan booked for the end of the month, keeping everything crossed 🤞🤞

Ttcdcno1 · 04/05/2023 18:03

@BexTTC im too scared to do this after my chemical. Feel like I’m tempting fate 🫠

Piglet34 · 04/05/2023 18:06

@Nmmck93 you really have done so well to hold out this far!! Excited to see the results when you do test 💕

I'm 7dpo for me, still not spotting yet 🥳 I think I might test Saturday morning as it's my friends 30th otherwise I would hold out longer as I know 9dpo still so early. I had a lot of creamy CM yday that seems to have gone today and very dry/scratchy throat today , obvs not related though 😅

BexTTC · 04/05/2023 18:09

@Ttcdcno1 oh god yea I totally get it, I feel like it's a big step as it'll give you answers you may not like but they're answers you'll need to know sooner or later otherwise you'll sit wondering, you could leave it till 6 weeks then book in maybe? I'm sure all will be OK though so try not to stress and just take it day by day 💕

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 18:10

So according to Premom app period is actually due today; nothing but mild spotting as of yet, I did do a test at lunch time and thought I seen a shadow but not taking it as a positive due to being literally a proper squint to even see.

@BexTTC I have those digital tests with the lights aswell - if no AF tomorrow then im doing all 5 brands of tests I have at home with FMU.
Only thing that's getting me is the spotting which I've said has never happened with me.

I just hope AF isn't going to be immensely late and show up during my holidays starting next Sunday; it would legit just be my luck.

Send baby dust my way for tomorrow morning please 🤞🏻👶🏻

BexTTC · 04/05/2023 18:22

@Nmmck93 shadows are how it usually starts though so hopefully those shadows will become lines and get darker! Sending you so much baby dust for tomorrow ✨️💕

Nmmck93 · 04/05/2023 20:40

i’m nearly 100% sure that I’m out, went to the toilet and there was blood on my pad so I’m assuming that’s her starting but will update fully tomorrow; I’m annoyed that I spotted for a few days which got my hopes up. But means the next cycle I can start my Macca root & enjoy a lot of baby dancing on holidays 🎉 partner has been warned it’s every single day. 😂

Piglet34 · 05/05/2023 08:57

@Nmmck93 ow sorry to hear that, let us know what happens this morn xx like you say you've got a holiday to look forward to and the perfect time to do lots of DTD if it isn't your cycle this time!

Nmmck93 · 05/05/2023 11:44

@Piglet34 yeahh AF arrived last night unfortunately! So I’m out so just wait for fertile week to commence now.
