For all the girls trying to conceive their first baby !

Good morning ladies ☺️

@KT199 @slothbat morning girls !
I'm ok today thank you ! Just waiting for next cycle really since I know I didn't ovulate I guess I'm kind of ready to move to the next cycle !

How are you feeeling? Any symptoms ??

@QuirkyPiglet idk if I said welcome already so just in case, welcome !!

@Lila34830 I’d be the same!!

Im okay, no symptoms tbh no. Not feeling hopeful. Last night found out one of my best friends is 12 weeks, happened first time for her, so feeling a bit deflated today. I’m so glad we have this thread, as hearing that yesterday made me feel so alone in this journey of it taking a little longer.. but to be able to reach out this morning is so helpful.

Held off testing but think I will do tomorrow morning at 10DPO, maybe Friday at 11DPO. AF due Sunday..

@KT199 I'm hoping it's a bfp for you lovely 🤞🏼
And don't, people who " didn't even try" also feel the need to say it. When realistically, no one cares how much or how little you tried !

Has that ever happened before not ovulating? It does suck this whole journey!!
It's so strange although in the TWW im glad not to be constantly testing to see when LH surges etc! No symptoms at all for me, 7DPO today, just trying to keep busy at work! Not really hopeful this month as just been so stressed with work and life in general! Xxx

@slothbat my progesterone test of Monday confirmed it ! But I have pcos so it does happen I guess. I never focused on ovulation before ttc, last month I had a LH surge so not sure tbh ! Waiting to hear back from consultant ...!

And yes I find it almost a bit more relaxing not having to DTD as much or lh testing ! Exhausted me this month 😂

Af is due on 6 nov for me !

Girls I have a very stupid and weird question for you but .... where do you put the thermometer when you temp ? 😂
Because I genuinely read some people putting it down there, and tbh I think it's the most accurate way to temp ?
Or am I weird ?

I do mine using wrist temp. But you can do it from the front or back downstairs or mouth.. just whichever your most comfortable with. I’d just check your thermometer is definitely okay to use used in the nether regions if this is what you go for!

@KT199 yes I will defffo check thank you !
I wouldn't go at the back , especially straight in the morning 😂 but the front seemed more accurate than the mouth idk why, maybe because when I'm ill I take my temp in mouth and it often varies from one reading to another... but I haven't taken my temp in months tbf...
received the thermometer today ☺️

Hi ladies,

I did make another post (new here) but thought it might be better to join this one, hope that’s okay!

Im only on my first cycle of TTC this month, but got quite optimistic when I had light pink implantation bleeding at 7dpo. It has carried on the last couple of days but now more of a light brown.

I have a fairly long luteal phase so AF not due until 15dpo, but tests on 11dpo were negative so not feeling hopeful now.

Anyone had similar?

Welcome @Alice1030 !
I haven't had anything similar, I did have brown spotting one cycle but it turned out to be a very very odd light AF.
I heard some women test positive on 12 even 13 dpo so I would test again maybe if I were you ? Xx

Thanks @Lila34830

Sorry for jumping into your convo, but I find it so hard not to look for reassurance on everything!

I will stick around on this thread as it’s nice to be with people in the same situation 😊

Hey, sorry I haven’t. I’ve only ever had spotting 1 day before AF arrives. Hopefully someone else can help x

No apologies needed this thread is opened to anyone TTC their first baby :) xxx

Hey girls, the drama continues on my side, as I noticed a lot of ewcm last night, so decided to test this morning and LH was 0.3, it has now risen to 0.48.... so I think we may be onto a late ovulation as my base level lh is always 0.1/0.2 max 🤔 might be why progesterone test came back negative ? I swear my body is playing tricks. I'll keep on testing lh over the next couple of days and DTD if needed. So confusing I swear

This defo sounds like late ovulation!!! And your PDG would have been really low if you haven’t yet ovulated. Hopefully that means you’re not automatically out this month! 🤞🤞

@KT199 it sounds like it doesnt it ?!
It's increasing by the hour !
I shall report tomorrow , but will DTD today and tomorrow in case 😂

Good Afternoon ladies!
Welcome to all new joiners 👋

@Lila34830 I stg our bodies run like clockwork until we need them to.. 😆😆

Defo! Even more so now 😊
Yes I would try catch it too if I was you and felt in the mood! Hopefully it’s abit reassuring too that it seems you will ovulate your test was just a little early x

@KT199 will definitely
Try and catch it ! Looks like my ovaries are lazy lol. Thanks for reading through my ordeal with these tests, ngl I'm tired of peeing in a cup 😂

That looks promising 🤞🤞 Keep us updated!

Thanks so much for your support girls, much appreciated 🩷
I really hope one of you gets a bfp whilst I'm ripping my hair out during my 2WW 🤣

So hard hearing pregnancy announcements and seeing new baby pics, sending love and support x
your time is soon!!! Hopefully this month!

Tested tonight at 9DPO, BFN.. stark white. Least I don’t need to test before work tomorrow and be disappointed before that!

Actually starting to get AF symptoms too, which is abit worrying as I’m not due till Sunday but had a heavy feeling in my pelvis for a hour or two which I normally start spotting the day after.

@KT199 9dpo is quite early girl, let's see what the rest of the week brings for
You , but I get you, disappointing and exhausting ... sending you a hug xxx
