TTC July 2023

[GHJ]

Hi I'm brand new to Mumsnet. I'm 26 TTC for first baby, been trying a couple of months, was on pill for 8 years before this so appreciate it will likely take some time. Found waiting for af a bit tough last month, tested a lot. I know most people have much longer waits before positive test but would love to share the journey with others. Hope this is the right forum for this!

Hi @Roxystar23 lovely to virtually meet you. Very excited to hear if you get your bfp, please update us!

I had blood test results back and they were normal so now being referred. Keeping positive as am only 7dpo.. Also just trying yo not think to much into it but its hard and i find it very emotional dont knoe about anyone else xx

Morning Ladies, I hope you are all ok,

@Roxystar23 would love to hear if you got your BFP,

I have been testing but I cant work out if i have already ov or its very late due to MC last month. The unknown if im in the TWW is very annoying

@Jazz30 fantastic news that your bloods were normal! Fingers crossed for you.

I'm 8dpo I think based on app so similar stage to you for this cycle. I've done a couple of tests already which I know is madness but I've read a few ladies who've done early tests and been positive which would just be a big relief but of course mine are negative which is disheartening. I'm hoping just too early but every negative is just so disappointing so really I shouldn't do them so early but then I feel anxious and keep thinking about testing again. Vicious cycle which I need to manage better as we've only been trying a few months so it's going to get exhausting very quickly at this rate. Had some signs a couple days ago particularly cramping which I thought was maybe promising but nothing now but hopefully still too soon. Sorry for my rambling.

How's everyone else going?

Good Morning Everyone,

Still no sign of AF for me and she was due yesterday - However, I've been a bit of a stress head over the last 48 hours (Car Selling Drama!) so this could have skewed things as my emotions have been all over the place!

@Jazz30 - Fab news that your bloods came back normal!

@ttcthoughts - Sorry to hear about your MC. Hope that you managed to pinpoint your ov window for the next cycle. Our bodies don't like to make it easy for us do they!?

@GHJ - How are you today? Any further signs either way?

@Roxystar23 have you tested yet?

still no ov I don’t think 🙄 tests are showing low too.
so who knows. Maybe it will be a missed cycle.

@ttcthoughts - I haven't yet. I'm going to try and wait until Monday - If AF arrives before then I won't need to but will be eagerly awaiting Monday morning if not!

Aah! That's frustrating. Here's to hoping that the next cycle will be more definitive! fingers crossed

@Roxystar23 you will have to keep us updated! Also I’m very impressed with your will power to not test

Thank you lovely. Fingers crossed

Hi everyone little update from me, no more signs really the cramping seems to have tailed off. I'm doing early cheap tests now (I massively admire @Roxystar23 not testing!) But all negative, due af Wednesday I think so starting to think I'm likely out for this one. Not sure what all the discomfort has been about though? How's everyone else doing?

Do you think 9dpo is too early to test?? I'm 9dpo today but a psychic told me earlier in the year that the 16th July would be the date I would find out I was pregnant. I know it's probably not true but I can't help but think maybe i should test 😂. Hate the tww!!

@jadeyjade8 oooh I would usually advise holding off testing (even though I was also testing at 9DPO last weekend 🤥) but as a psychic told you you’d find out today you could totally test on the basis of research!

Finally CD1 for me, a day later than Flo predicted based on OPKs. I must have ovulated a day or two later this month which explains why we didn’t fall pregnant as we stopped DTD the day of my static 🙄 another lesson learnt for this cycle.

I don't think I can wait haha! I have no symptoms at all though so I'm not holding out much hope. I'm going to test 😂

@jadeyjade8 i feel like you have to to test if the psychic said that 🙈🙈 just because I feel like we all now need to know 🙈🙈🙈

Omg omg omg! I can't actually believe it! This was the reading and these are the tests I've just done. I did the FRER first and then the others. I thought I was only 9dpo but I'm guessing I may have O'd earlier than I thought with how strong the lines are. The CB and the IC were done with the tiniest bit of wee I managed to squeeze out after I got the FRER result so I must be more than 9dpo surely! Wow, I can't believe this!

@jadeyjade8 oh my goodness congratulations 🎉🎉 how crazy is that!!!

Thank you!! I know, I can't believe it! It's crazy. I really didn't think I could believe it x

I had this really weird shooting pain in my breast last night was so weird never had it before... Pretty sure my period is coming though :(

@jadeyjade8 oh my god congrats! That’s amazing. We need future updates about if it’s a boy and if you crave pears 😂

Thank you!! Haha I will do😂

Is it possible that I am actually 9dpo if I've had a positive on a digital already? I have no symptoms at all and surely if I was only 9 it wouldn't be positive on a digi? Maybe I ovulated earlier

@jadeyjade8 it is quite early to get a pos on a digi so you possibly have ovulated a few days early and may be more like 11-12DPO. You might find out date is corrected at your first scan.

Yeah I'm thinking that's the case x

Congratulations @jadeyjade8 !!!

Thank you!
