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? 😂

@FlyingHighFlyingLow yep! Tentative congratulations 🥳 as it’s faint!

which cycle would this be?

2nd cycle ttc#1, was told I was unlikely to conceive naturally, so hoping it isn't an evap, but it did come up within the time

kalixxx · 17/03/2023 11:13

@Piglet34 sorry to hear AF has arrived, do you think you’ll try next month or wait till the cycle after?

@FlyingHighFlyingLow can most definitely see a line! Did it come up straight away? Tentative congratulations, how exciting!! ☺️

@kalixxx I now have no idea what's going on as I had red blood last night , but only when I went to the toilet once, then only a bit a brown over night and nothing today!! 😩 no clue what's happening ...

We have decided to try but not as hard as usual, the thought of waiting two months just sounds horrible! Also going to look into getting some bloods and a scan done to figure out what all this spotting is.. if my full AF ever shows that is!

How's the TWW going for you so far?

@FlyingHighFlyingLow oooh exciting, definitely looks like the start of something, fingers crossed! X

kalixxx · 17/03/2023 14:35

@Piglet34 oh how strange! I’m guessing that’s not usual for you?

Waiting another month always seems like forever so I’d be the exact same with not wanting to wait 2!

It’s going slowly, how am I only 3 DPO 😩😂 I’m going to try and hold out and wait the full 14 days before testing, pray for me! 😂 x

Hey ladies! I took a FRER today 9DPO as I've been having some weird goings on, sense of smell is really off (crazily so) and pinchy cramps, I should not have done it so early which I know and I did not use FMU or even SMU😂 but now I'm confused as I either have a naughty indent or a VVFL. My own fault for testing early haha!

Kaspery8 · 18/03/2023 20:14

@KIWI2023 I can definitely see a faint line there, tentative congratulations and fingers crossed for you. Same to you @FlyingHighFlyingLow

@mum2liam1 fingers crossed for your clear blue tomorrow

@Piglet34 could it have been implantation bleeding rather than the full AF?

KIWI2023 · 19/03/2023 08:49

Morning ladies, I am feeling very lucky as I just got my first BFP. Thank you all for accompanying me through this month. You have all been a life line. Sending each and everyone of you baby dust xx

Congratulations @KIWI2023 , I got this today at 12 dpo so I'm taking this as a definite BFP! Now to pray it isn't a chemical. Good luck and baby dust to all!

@KIWI2023 massive congratulations!! How are you feeling so far?!

@FlyingHighFlyingLow also massive congratulations, that’s a blazing positive now!!

Aw it’s so so nice to see some BFPs on here!! 💖

@KIWI2023 & @FlyingHighFlyingLow congratulations to you both! Over the moons for yous. Nice to see some positives flying in now. X

Piglet34 · 19/03/2023 16:54

@KIWI2023 @FlyingHighFlyingLow super congratulations to you both!! How exciting 🥰 wishing you both happy and healthy months ahead!

@mum2liam1 hmm tricky, sadly I'm not sure if that's an indent with the frer as I did one the other day and it had a faint line but I'm deffo not preg :(. How many dpo are you now?

My full AF came yday after disappearing for the day on Friday. Glad I can just move on tbh, I actually think it might of been the seven seas messing up my cycle as I stopped taking it to see and AF came. Definitely only taking folic acid from now on!

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 19/03/2023 17:04

Thanks @Nmmck93 and @Piglet34!

@Nmmck93 I used easy @ home and appeared to be accurate for me, didn't try any other brands

@Piglet34 sorry your cycle has been so off, must be very frustrating! Hopefully next month is your month! I've been taking boots folic acid + vitamin D.

Piglet34 · 20/03/2023 09:24

@FlyingHighFlyingLow yeah they are the ones I have ! Sticking to them from now on !

@Nmmck93 I also just stick with easy@home and they seem to be working well for me so far with the premom app 😊

kalixxx · 20/03/2023 09:34

@Piglet34 ahh sorry to hear AF turned up ☹️ fingers crossed for your next cycle, they do say when you relax and stop waiting for it to happen it’ll happen!

@mum2liam1 I think I can see something y but I’ve also been tricked with indents on FRER, so unfair! ☹️ have you tested again since, fingers crossed that’s an early positive not an indent!

OP posts:
Piglet34 · 22/03/2023 21:07

@kalixxx how's your TWW going? I'm just out here chilling in my pre ovulation phase haha, it's weird I almost stop thinking about TTC in this part of the cycle it's so much more relaxed! Still another 5 days until I start doing the OPKs even!

Hope everyone else doing good :)

kalixxx · 23/03/2023 09:20

@Piglet34 not very well! 😩😂 caved at 9 DPO this morning and went out to get a test, tried all 3 shops on my high street but none had a FRER! Settled for an early clear blue and got a BFN, stared at it so long I convinced myself there’s a faint faint line, but having looked again I think it’s wishful thinking. Hopefully I’m just too early but something in my gut says it’s not my month ☹️

It’s crazy how much you relax at the start of a cycle isn’t it! I’m the same, barely think about TTC! But by CD14 I’m consumed by it again 😅

Hope everyone else is doing ok! ✨

Nmmck93 · 23/03/2023 09:56

@kalixxx sorry to hear about your BFN but also, still very early so hopefully you get your BFP in the next few days.

going by by OPKs I’m ovulating now. Haven’t done todays yet as I use my second morning urine to test and haven’t went yet so waiting to test to see if it’s starting to drop then it’ll be my TWW. 🙈 going to have to keep myself busy on my TWW I’m super impatient so have told my OH to refrain me from testing until the wait is up.

m hope everyone is doing well! ✨

kalixxx · 23/03/2023 10:07

@Nmmck93 Thank you! Praying it’s just too early for me 😅

Welcome back to the fun and games of TWW! My OH also told me to hold until AF due, why don’t I listen? 😂

Baby dust to you! X
