I feel as though I’m doing the bloody hokey jokey the amount I’ve been in and out of this forum over the years 😅😂

Hello!
Ive a long old story but I won’t bore you with it unless you’re interested… I’m 31 TTC our first, and currently 9dpo with a chemical way back in November. I’m just looking for some company and hopefully some positive vibes between the group so someone… anyone gets their BFP! Hopefully me too of course 🤞
We all need a little bit of positivity so let’s do this together ✨

@mushroomushroom I am keeping everything crossed for you that it’s implantation bleeding 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wish23 · 31/08/2023 07:41

Think I’ve been stung by an indent yesterday! I’m BFN again today. Yesterdays was faint but it was clearly visible and came up straight away. Did have cramps all day yesterday which probably wasn’t a good sign anyway.

Luckily I’m a worst case scenario thinker so never actually believed it, feel like AF may be on its way!

mushroomushroom · 31/08/2023 07:59

@LW678 thank you! I really hope so too, I had thought that maybe the pink spotting two days ago might have been implantation spotting, so I'm doubtful that this is that :/ but who knows, weirder things have happened!!

Oh no 😭 never know what can happen, especially when they're faint like that. It might still be positive yet and there wasn't enough hcg to detect in that urine sample.

9dpo and tested at half 5 this morn-- BFN. I'd say I'm out again! 🫠

Wish23 · 31/08/2023 14:47

Period arrived! Who knows what on earth that line was about yesterday. Don’t normally early test but I got some pregnancy tests with my ovulation ones so thought why not! Not doing that again…

On to cycle 6. Was supposed to be taking a break due to a family holiday already planned for next July, but I didn’t expect TTC to be this hard. Think we might take a if it happens great, if not at least we can go away next year attitude!

Maybebaby54321 · 31/08/2023 16:03

So so sorry @Wish23 its not fair to get lines like that.

Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 19:11

Hello everyone! Oh my, so many comments and so many crazy ladies like myself symptom spotting and testing 🤣
I don’t actually think you’re crazy btw but it feels like craziness the ups and downs we put ourselves through hey!
@Wish23 I’m so sorry! I had a BFP officially in Nov with a test like that and official worded clear blue ones.. only for a few days later to get a BFN. I can safely assume it was a chemical - I was definitely pregnant for those few days/weeks (as it counts from the start of your last period) . I was like you, didn’t set my expectations or believe anything although a friend I’d confided in at the time (who only has a little one due to IVF) took it upon herself to tell me what my due date would be and it buggered me up for the months leading up to the date.. as you can assume, due date would have been august and here we are still trying! Life can be so cruel… hoping you get a BFP very soon xx

@mushroomushroom aww fingers crossed! We’re on the list for a fertility specialist hopefully next month so it would also be extra special for us if we didn’t have to go through the rigmarole of it all! Keep us updated 🥰 I’m 9dpo xx

@Maybebaby54321 hahaha welcome to our Hokey Kokey! It’s the dance no one really wants to be doing - so definitely apt for the baby dancing comparison 🤣
you tested super early there 😂 how many dpo are you!? It still gives lots of hope xx

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 19:18

@Daniki ugh time goes so SLOW doesn’t it!? We’re very similar - I’m 9dpo and on countdown……

@Tottenhaminmyblood aww sounds like lots of hormones! fingers crossed. I’m 9dpo and had a chemical at 11 previous so I’m also not sure when to test!! Period is due in 5 days so hopefully I get through the next few without any spotting … that’s normally a sign of period for me! Although I had implantations bleeding previous when BFP so god knows 🤣

OP posts:
Maybebaby54321 · 31/08/2023 19:27

@Yolo23 I'm only 8dpo today. I haven't tested today thank goodness and will try and not test tomorrow either if I at all can help it!!!!!!

Wish23 · 31/08/2023 19:33

@Yolo23 ah I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that. I feel TTC becomes all about dates. When you will ovulate, when you can test from, when you would be 12 weeks, when your due date will be. I hope you are doing okay and everything crossed for you that it happens soon!

I showed my partner the test earlier and he can definitely see the line too so I didn’t imagine it. Thinking it must have been a very early & quick chemical. Thank you for the kind words, it’s been good to have an outlet on here!

Daniki · 31/08/2023 19:41

@Yolo23 so slow! Hate it 😂 I always test at 9dpo and if it's negative I'm convinced I'm out! I am nauseas all this week tho so felt different this time! Bought more of the boots early tests, will see what tomorrow brings! 😂 x

Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 20:58

@Maybebaby54321 lets do this together 🤣 atleast get to 11dpo…. I’ll promise if you can 🤣🫶😅

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 21:00

@Wish23 thank you! It definitely is all about dates.. I didn’t realise how big of a deal it was until the months started coming around and I thought omg we could have had our baby by now. So yeah definitely frustrating when I hadn’t intended to do it to myself and the info was just pushed upon me 🤣 obviously it was all best interest and excitement but still…

There was definitely a line! How long have you been TTC for? X

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 21:02

@Daniki hahaha I know. Although I didn’t get a BFP until 11dpo and had negatives up till then when I had my chemical so I’m genuinely not sure testing early is a good idea! I’m holding off until the next few days as normally I get spotting.. which is a sign AF is due, although I had implantation bleeding before sooooo god help me working out what any spotting may be this time around 🤣

my only symptoms this month are rock hard nipples!! TMI I know 😅🤣 but it’s so bizarre. I normally have sore boobs after ovulation but these boobies are painful and definitely swollen. Keeing everything crossed. I have a funeral on Tuesday which is when AF should arrive .. so praying for some nice news on a difficult day xx

OP posts:
Daniki · 31/08/2023 21:20

@Yolo23 oh that's a great symptom! The nips 😂 my friend who's pregnant her main symptom in the early stages were rock hard nips she said they were so sensitive too😂 🙏🙏 I actually get spotting too a few days before AF, none so far and defo would have it at this stage. Think af is due on Monday but last cycle it came 4 days early the bastard. 🥲 that would be nice news to get on a hard day, really hope you get it 🙏 xx

Ivebeenthinkingtoomuch · 31/08/2023 21:26

I’ve found my people, 7dpo and tested twice today as my boyfriend and I thought we saw a shadow on the first one. Pretty sure we imagined it 😂. Not a ton of symptoms here, praying for sore boobs but nothing so far.
Wishing you all luck ✨

Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 22:20

@Daniki 🤣🤣🤣😅 so glad my rock hard nips are hopeful for something! 😂
I normally get spotting around 3/4days before AF and tbh I can sense my period coming normally a mile off so we will seeee… when is yours due??

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 31/08/2023 22:22

@Ivebeenthinkingtoomuch it sounds like we’re your gang 🤣 ahh I hate those ones… I try not to test with my partner but I’d love to find out together and be all surprised and excited 😅 typical movie type expectations eh!? My situation isn’t exactly straight forward which is probably why even when I’ve had a BFP I’ve not believed it! Only once it happened and it was chemical. Fingers crossed for it happening sometime soon ✨ for us both!

OP posts:
Daniki · 01/09/2023 08:57

@Yolo23 iv two apps, according to one it's due Monday and another it's due Tuesday. Defo have spotting by now but nothing, tested again and it's BFN! I didn't track ovulation this month as I wanted to be "more relaxed 🙄" 😂 so can't be 💯 sure in my dates but normally cd16 is my ov date!

Maybebaby54321 · 01/09/2023 10:31

I've made it to 9dpo and haven't tested 👏👏👏 can I make it to next Thursday when AF is due??? Highly unlikely but I'm trying!!!

Yolo23 · 01/09/2023 10:49

@Daniki eeeek that does sound very relaxed. I’ve tried that approach but then the only time we had BFP was using digital tests… I think my ovulation window is sooo small too. This is the first time we’ve DDT the day before ovulation AND the day OF ovulation - to mirror when I had BFP in November. So we will see - I am keeping my fingers crossed, avoiding tests but googling every symptom like a mad man 🤣 I’ve got leg cramp today which is SUPER unusual and apparently a sign but at this rate I’ve probably convinced myself breathing is a sign 😂😂😂🙏
