hello
My partner and I our trying TTC for baby no1,we have been DTD everyday since I came off my monthly so you would think the chances are really high for that positive but NOPE :( I’m starting to really lose hope and feel like my body is broken.

I have been using clear blue ovulation kit and other kits and using different apps to track ovulation… i didn’t ovulate when I thought I did, I ovulated last week we still been DTD I’m due on today but no sign of apart from fuller boobs. just did a test and got a BFN.

i don’t no if I’m testing to early as I ovulated late does that mean AF is going to be late idk? Or am I due on today :/ I’m confused this is my first time with tracking ovulation.

Morning! The length of time between ovulation and your period doesn't generally change, so if you ovulated late your period will be late. How many DPO are you? How many months have you been trying?

Morning
If im correct im 7dpo and we’ve been tryin for 4 months. I’ve never tracked my ovulation before so this is all new to me lol.

7dpo would be pretty early to get a positive, think implantation is generally round 8-9dpo. I'd test again at dpo or save your tests and just wait and see if period comes! 4 months is still very early so don't worry! If it doesn't happen this month just try and hit the 2 days before ovulation next month!

Leoslegacy · 18/05/2023 08:02

That should have said test again at 10dpo

4 months must feel like an age but in fertility terms it's not - but don't worry there's lots of woman who feel that too.
when did you come off contraception as your body could still sorting itself? 😊

BraveHeart91 · 18/05/2023 08:33

Oh absolutely feels like forever 🤦🏻‍♀️ and i came off the 6 months ago… I’m just so surprised as we DTD everyday.

I feel your pain! I am 9DPO now and have tested every day for the past 3 days. All BFN! 😩I have had symptoms for the past 4/5 days. I cant stop eating, I'm sooooo tired, I am so gassy! I have felt a bit sick and occasionally have a weird taste in my mouth. My cervix is still high and was hard yesterday but seems like it is softening??? I also had a bit of EWCM this morning which has turned back to creamy/milky white now. I really don't know what to think and I know I should wait until AF is due on Tuesday to test again but I don't think I have the willpower! Has anyone had symptoms similar to mine and got a BFP?
Baby dust to you!x

BraveHeart91 · 18/05/2023 11:46

i can’t stop eating too and tired my boobs are fuller 🤔 I had discharge up until I got peak of the ovulation test. And now it’s stopped 🥴 I’ve had some cramping front and back but idk what to think driving me mad

My boobs feel fuller but not painful. It’s driving me mad too! The tww is the most exciting but stressful time! X

BraveHeart91 · 18/05/2023 12:04

Omg same as mine and when I’m coming on my reds my boobs always hurt but I don’t have any soreness just fuller 🥴

When we were trying for #1 I read that it can actually be better for sperm quality to DTD every other day rather than every day.

SnookyPook · 18/05/2023 13:14

Different people may have slightly different length luteal phases (the bit between ovulation and AF starting) but generally for each individual they will be the same length each month. So for me, I know AF starts exactly 14 days after my peak every month. My peak sometimes jumps around a bit. So a month where the peak is on day 14, AF will appear day 28. But if I get my peak later one month, say day 17, AF won't appear until day 31. Hope that makes sense!

Best of luck! 4 cycles is deffo well within normal conception parameters so try not to worry yet, even though every month feels like an age!

I got this this morning. I'm not sure if you can see it. The line is soooo faint but it's there. I can't tell if it's pink or grey though. I tried with an FRER after and that was BFNSad

I can’t see hun but fingers crossed it’s just to early for you to test! I still haven’t had AF arrive yet. TMI but I have sore nipples now and thin watery discharge sometimes and some mild cramping. 🥴 i don’t know what’s going on.
