Hey ladies, can I join you on this thread? I'm currently 7dpo and driving myself mad looking for symptoms and checking tissue after wiping. Even bloody inverting the photo of my test this morning which was obvs negative 😂
Really hopeful for us all! Xx

Comet1992 · 16/11/2023 20:46

Hey @LilPearl welcome to the group 😊 how long have you been trying?

LilPearl · 16/11/2023 20:54

This is our first month so I've got nothing to compare it to. I wish I'd kept better track of how I feel usually at this stage because today it felt like I had AF pain. I have a short luteal phase generally but not this short!!

Beccylou94 · 19/11/2023 14:06

How's everyone getting on?

MissEmily5 · 19/11/2023 19:09

@Comet1992 your OPK results look super positive! Fingers crossed for you 😄

@LilPearl welcome! I felt the same when we started (only on cycle 4 but it feels forever!) hopefully it’s not AF pains but implantation pains!

@Beccylou94 not too bad thanks, still no positive OPK for me at CD22 but feel oddly calm about it. I think I’ve just convinced myself I might have missed it between testing or because I’ve been ill I haven’t noticed the ovulation pain- or something else with a possible chance! 😅😂
how are you? :)

Familyfirst12 · 19/11/2023 20:05

Hoping I can join you over here! I’m currently CD14 on our first proper month ttc. Haven’t been careful for a little while but haven’t tracked properly until this month. So nice to have people to chat to over here

MissEmily5 · 19/11/2023 21:09

@Familyfirst12 hello! Welcome:) it’s definitely nice to have people in the same situation on this all consuming journey of TTC. How are you finding it all?

Familyfirst12 · 20/11/2023 08:13

Thank you @MissEmily5. I’m mostly excited at the moment but am naturally quite an anxious person and worry about everything. I would love to conceive before Christmas… due to ovulate on the 29th although DH away most of this week with work, returning on Sunday. If my dates are accurate then we might be okay as can DTD 27-29th otherwise we will be out for this month😢. Where abouts are you in your journey? X

MissEmily5 · 20/11/2023 14:16

@Familyfirst12 I am too, I flit between excited to anxious and back again so easily! I think it’s helped me in thinking that there’s no rush as such, it’s helped me calm the anxiety.

Wouldn’t that by lovely, would make Christmas that so much more magical 🥰

Aw, I hate when that happens! My husband worked away for the first 2 months and it really scuppered our chances those
months.

We started trying in August so currently on cycle 4. Not received a positive ovulation this month but hoping for the best! At least this way I haven’t been counting my DPOs and relaxing more now. Fingers crossed for good news- due on Saturday.

Bex4567 · 20/11/2023 14:47

Keep going all of u sending baby dust..currently on month 4 actively trying to concieve...apparently peak day today however yesterday's was the strongest opk so not sure...have done it as much as I can tho...so will be on the dreaded 2ww soon..ive been more relaxed this last month...hopefully we get bfp soon having news before Xmas wpuld just be amazing ...I think ill be in shock if I see a positive test really feel its not going to happen 😪

@Bex4567 thank you! You too. We all deserve to have some little miracles for Christmas 🎄✨

That’s all you can do! So no matter what you know you’ve done everything you can. Hopefully your calmness will continue into the 2WW.

God me too! I genuinely don’t know how I will
react! It seems like such a dream that I can’t imagine it becoming a reality.

Familyfirst12 · 20/11/2023 18:31

Aww good luck @Bex4567 got my fingers crossed tightly for you. I know what you both mean, it feels like you will never see those 2 lines. I’m going to start opk testing from tomorrow but really really hoping as husband is going away that I don’t peak until the end of the week, will be gutted if it happens whilst he is away😢

Bex4567 · 20/11/2023 19:47

I've peaked and still done it so much but nothing 😪it's so defeating..being 37 aswrll I'm worried I'm to old lol got 2 kids 16 and 12 but worried it won't happen again

OP posts:
MissEmily5 · 20/11/2023 21:28

@Bex4567 when are you due on?
I know it’s worrying but think of it this way- you’ve done it before! My aunt was 42 when she got pregnant without even trying- so
fingers crossed for you! X

Bex4567 · 20/11/2023 23:37

Comet1992 · 21/11/2023 15:02

nervousn3lly · 21/11/2023 15:26

@Comet1992 oh wow literally the same
How have you found the last 4 days? X

Comet1992 · 21/11/2023 15:40

I've been fine up until today I keep getting weird twinges/ pulling near ovary i know it's too early for implantation and I know I ovulated Friday because got my surge Thursday and the surge went back to baseline so not sure what that is 🤷‍♀️ my nipples usually hurt straight after which they don't so my body is acting weird this month we will see how are you feeling? @nervousn3lly

Bex4567 · 21/11/2023 20:18

Currently 1dpo here...let's hope for some bfp this month girls

OP posts:
nervousn3lly · 22/11/2023 10:29

@Comet1992 yeah I'm the same until yesterday I hadn't thought about it too much now that's all I can think about but have felt a thing. I've tried to fill my weekend so I don't think a lousy it too much. Are u going to test early or wait it out? X

@Bex4567 let's hope so would be the best Xmas present

X

Bex4567 · 22/11/2023 16:57

Good luck to everyone I always say I'm not going to test and then end up testing early 🤦‍♀️the more than time goes on im starting to think it will happen when it does...I dont feel like it will tho I no that'd negative but ...if it does happen I'll literally faint I think lol...here's to the 2ww 🤦‍♀️

OP posts:
Comet1992 · 23/11/2023 20:17

@nervousn3lly I'm going to test at 10dpo on Monday I got another weird sharp twinge again today made me stop so hoping that's a good sign but who knows 🤷‍♀️ @Bex4567 keep doing what your doing it will happen 😊

nervousn3lly · 23/11/2023 21:43

@Comet1992 that does sound hopeful fingers crossed!
I was think I'd try hold out till Monday I no it pointless prior but something I can't help myself doing 🙈 x

Bex4567 · 23/11/2023 22:02
