Hi ladies Can I join? I’m 9dpo today and got a stark white negative again this morning. Feeling very defeated and feel like I might be out this month. Pretty sure with all my other babies I showed up early and got a faint positive by now. Got my hopes up so much this month 😢

Demi55 · 15/01/2024 06:21

Hey everyone! Late last night I started to see some light pink spotting. I thought even though I had a positive result I was out. However; the line is darker today? Could it be implantation spotting? Has anyone else experienced this

@Demi55 hey babe congratulations! Yes spotting is very normal 🥰 for the fact test is getting darker is a good sign and everything progressing. With my daughter I didn’t spot at all but with my son I spotted at 15dpo (light pink) and again when I was 16 weeks (couple spots of bright red) and everything was normal and I have two healthy happy children at home 😊 so don’t let it worry you it’s very normal to spot, if you are concerned please don’t hesitate to book an appointment for your own piece of mind xxx

Hi everyone, I'm 10dpo first cycle ttc baby no 1. Got a negative this morning, feeling disappointed.

MrsP20202 · 15/01/2024 10:09

@Kezz301 hey ❤️ Try not be too disappointed yet 10dpo is still early :) but I no that feeling of disappointed that’s why we are all here to support each other through all the bfn and bfp ❤️ Xx

Thank you, I am telling myself it is still early and still in with a chance until af shows 🤞 I'm glad I joined up or I'd go nuts on my own 😅

MrsP20202 · 15/01/2024 10:29

@Kezz301 haha tell me about it I’m glad we have this for us women as my husband is used to get sick of all the symptom spotting but does get upset bless him if a test turns out negative. I really think aswell you can’t have these conversations with men as only another women really truly understands what we go through with the emotional side of it. We are trying to have 4 babies but I also am lucky to have 2 already so if it doesn’t happen again I feel extremely lucky with the ones I have and I have 😊 this is your first time ttc are you using opks to track ovulation? Believe it or not it took 3 cycles before I fell pregnant with my first (conceived on a holiday to Bulgaria 2019 😂 sex sun and drunk all the time) second time we gave up trying as it just wasn’t happening dtd once that month in 2021 and fell pregnant with my son I feel stress plays apart with myself so trying not to get so stressed with the process but it’s harder said then done 😂

Riverstardust · 15/01/2024 10:39

This cycle is driving me crazy tbh. 😂 Half of me is feeling negative and saying wait until AF as it's not happening this month. The other half is trying to convince me otherwise and I'm not sure if symptoms I'm having are normal to me or not, it's like that side of me has just blanked out all my usual pms symptoms. 😂

The date of ovulation changed on 1 of my apps (use 2 to get a rough date, know opks would just make me obsess) so I'm either 12 or 14 dpo. AF due Wednesday. DH doesn't want me testing until my period is days late as my cycle fluctuates with up to 5 days, but surely at 12/14 days things would be showing up?

Sorry, having a mini rant but know you all get it.

Congrats to everyone with BFP's though!!!! ⭐️

I am 35 so I am already feeling past my sell by date so I'm already worried I'm getting past it but that's me, always an over worrier 😅 I'm terrible for it so it'll definitely help being in a place where everyones going in tje same journey to share woth. I used the blueclear opks but I got flashing smilies for 9 days then I ran out so I didn't want to buy a new pack this cycle as they were annoying first thing on a morning 🤣

mumto1girlie · 15/01/2024 11:05

hey @Stramas your not out until AF shows up! and you’ve got us ladies for support!

@Demi55 congratulations ! spotting is completely normal x

Em39al · 15/01/2024 11:05

Hi everyone. I think im probably about 11dpo now and my temp has dropped so I think im out again! Was really hoping this month as we had tried so hard. Would you all agree with me that I’m heading towards AF with this chart. It’s my first month charting temp properly! AF due in about 3/4 days.

Demi55 · 15/01/2024 11:39

@MrsP20202 @mumto1girlie

Thank you! That has really assured me!

I now need to work out what I do when I get a digital pregnancy confirmation. With it being my first and not telling any (expect my partner) we are trying I actually don’t know what to do next.

Also, I’m currently talking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins, which vitamins should I change to? I don’t eat fish so I’m worried I’m deficient in omega 3 so wanna change to one that contains that. Sorry for all the questions

Dizzy1994 · 15/01/2024 12:01

I didnt know these threads existed!!!
TTC since June. Ovulating tomorrow me thinks

siobhanmt247 · 15/01/2024 13:48

@Em39al it might just be a blip. I had a few and even do still now and Im 4w3d

mumto1girlie · 15/01/2024 14:19

@Demi55 i did my digital the day after my positive and it come up straight away, as for vitamins, i just take vitamin d and folic acid so cant really be of help! make sure you book in with a midwife/self refer depending on your area altho you wont be seen til around 8 weeks x

Em39al · 15/01/2024 14:22

@siobhanmt247 thank you! Fingers crossed! My partner and me are both hoping things will happen naturally, but I guess at some point we’ll have to consider getting things checked out if nothing continues to happen.

BelBabe · 15/01/2024 14:59

Hello everyone! Joining in currently 10dpo and had a clear BFN this morning so feeling a bit deflated.
However for the past couple of nights I have had such vivid dreams about either being pregnant or having a baby. I know it's probably just cos I'm thinking about it so much but when I was pregnant with my daughter I had similar dreams and then a couple of days later got my BFP so I'm holding on to hope. But not testing again until Wednesday when I'm due.

Hope everyone else is holding up ok, this wait is the worst

holly12388 · 15/01/2024 15:26

Been quietly reading since the original post 

I'm 9dpo today, and urge to test tomorrow with frer has taken over..

Been soo lovely to see all the bfp from this post & I'm hoping & praying plenty more happen this month.

I've been pretty I'll with tonsillitis the past few days which has really taken my attention away from symptom spotting and getting lost in cycle days..

Anywhoooo here we are. I'm nervous & exited to test but really wondering if I can just hang on a few more days. I really don't want another bfn (cycle #11 trying for our first)

RW269 · 15/01/2024 16:50

Awwh that’s me out for the month, AF has arrived. So disappointed :( good luck to the rest of you! see any February folk in the next thread!

holly12388 · 16/01/2024 09:00

Stark White BFN this morning.
Trying not to be too disheartened.. but no denying it SUCKS seeing it, just makes me feel like I'm out even though it's early days (10dpo)

Also experiences af cramps, period due on Sunday..

I really hate the TWW 😖

iwasgonnasay · 16/01/2024 09:31

Sorry @holly12388 it's a disheartening feeling even when AF isn't here yet but you never know until the red lady sings. The time I conceived I was so worried it would be a BFN that I waited until 3 days late because I had only gone 1 day late in the past so 3 seemed safe to check and got the darkest BFP on an FRER I've ever seen and a clear digital. Testing before AF is so tempting I know because I just did an ultra early clear blue which showed not pregnant even though AF not due till Saturday! So I'm 98% sure I'm not but I'll still wonder all week until she shows and regret the £17 I just forked out for a wee!
Hang in there and we'll keep fingers crossed 🤞🏻

100000% agree!

Usually my mind is in a good place up until cd20 & then I begin to slowly obsess about testing I know there really isn't much in it!
I'll still be/or not be pregnant if I wait 5 or 6 days just need to calm down lol.

Gurrrllll these wee's be getting expensive towards the end of each cycle 😂

Keep me updated with you, lots of baby dust! x

Demi55 · 16/01/2024 11:34
