30-somethings TTC #1 Testing and Support Thread!

[Ejay]

Hi Ejay how are you? I know how you feel about plucking up the courage to go

Hiya wantingagirl, am doing fine thanks, am trying to remain chilled out for this cycle and not get too stressed. Unfortunately work really didn't help today, got really wound up managed to insult my boss and pick a fight with someone that I wouldn't win with.

Oh well just eaten another bowl of chocolate ice cream, yum yum

STILL have the headache & AF cramps. And you are so right nothing denting this headache. Prob. wont be on much as it hurts to look at computer. How long do people get af cramps before af shows up? I have never had any "period accidents" b/c the second I get a cramp I know it is time and I have just enough time to go to the bathroom and get take care of it. Have had AF cramps tho since yesterday morning maybe. This is torture.

Titi thanks for asking... another BFN this morning.

No sign of AF at all though. Got a few symptoms but all could be PMT - sore boobs, pains (but not cramps which is different) for the last 5-6 days, creamy CM and no spotting.

Got my days late wrong, AF due sat so today is the third day late, and tomorrow fourth. Usually the witch comes first thing in the morning, but I start spotting the day before in the afternoon.

Hope your headache is better. Do you take anything for it or are you trying to be drug free because you are TTC?

Hiya

I hope you don't mind me joining you.
My AF is 1 day late, I am symptom spotting like mad but at the moment, I am bloated, as i said 1 day late, sore boobies, cramps before I get out of bed down the left side, soooo tired, loss of appetite, creamy discharge, constipation.....

Am I going insane or do you think I should wait another few days before testing??

Its a completely personal decision Jacksie.... but if it was me (and it is at the moment!!) I couldnt stop myself testing. Problem I find is that even if I get BFN then I start to think 'but maybe the hormones arent strong enough yet' and then end up testing the next day. In reality some tests even pick it up before your AF is due. Not sure if you are in the UK also, but Im using the ClearBlue ones as they pick up early.

But well done for getting to AF being 1 day late without testing yet!

No-my headaches get so bad I have to take some tylenol. Is that very bad? After all this time I guess I just usually assume the chance of my actually being pregnant is about one in 700 zillion.

Sorry about BFN. It sounds hopeful though-I'm like you-I keep thinking that my hormones aren't strong enough or I didn't use good enough pee. (my two bfns this cycle were stupid-one at 11dpo at 5pm and another at 13dpo but with my 3rd pee of the morning in two hours).

But-I do see it on here all the time where that happens to someone!!!!

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

You've got to have some hope sometimes dont you!

No I dont think its bad taking tylenol at all - Ive been trying to take nothing at all since ttc but I wondered what others did.

 

[Titi]

yeah me too but 17 cycles is a very long time to have a headache, lol!

 

[LuckyD]

Hey everyone, how are you all?

Hope you are all ok whatever part of your cycle you are at

Hey Jacksie - wow, if I was you I would have tested - but I think it's awesome that you haven't! I guess the longer you wait the more likelihood of an accurate test - but at one day late it should still be pretty accurate. Up to you sweetie! But it's sounding good! Let us know what you decide x

Bonjo - that is a good attitude, definitely easier be a bit more relaxed like that. But hopefully you won't have to go on to next month! x

Rompy - good to hear you are feeling happy!

Thanks for the group hug code Jaimie! https://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/10172/grouphugg.gif

Hey Ejay - sorry you had a crappy day at work ice-cream always helps!

Headache sounds horrible Titi! Hope it goes away soon I wouldn't worry too much about taking painkillers once in a while - lots of people do a lot worse before they find out they're pregnant!

Waiting4Baby - sorry about the BFN....but it still sounds hopeful for you xx hope you get some good news soon!

No news from me...waiting to O...CD12 today, negative OPKs. Last time I didn't get a positive OPK until CD17 - really hope it happens before then this time!

xx

 

[giggles.]

for everyone. Hoping for lots of BFP's!

 

[Rompy]

Hie everyone

Feeling a bit tired today, some cramps. AF due on the 8th. Can i test anytime before then ladies?

 

[tickle]

Hi - hope it is ok to join?
I am on 5th cycle and TTC ....
due to test on 17th of may
good luck to everyone x

 

[LuckyD]

Of course tickle! Welcome! Your date has been added - you're testing the same day as me! good luck!

Hey Rompy - some people get BFPs as early as 10dpo - but most don't. For the most accurate results its' suggested waiting until AF is due - if you can! Have a look at this - it shows when people are most likely to get an accurate result - https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancytest/ - plus its a pretty interesting site, although it can drive you crazy if you are a big symptom spotter!

Thanks for the baby dust giggles! Right back at ya!

 

[princesspie]

[Springflower]

hello ladies

Well I'm out for this month. Had my TVS today and they could see there was nothing there. I wasn't expecting anything to be, so that was fine. Plus side is there is nothing wrong with my womb and ovaries, so that's another thing ticked off the list!

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies in May. Beaming baby dust over!

 

[Rompy]

Hey LuckyD - Thank you very much for ur response, will make sure i check out the site. Im really trying to be patient until next wk Sat but i know by next wed i will be peeing on sticks 3 times a day ha ha!.

 

[hopesnddreams]

I am new to this too

We've been TTC for 10months now

Put me down for testing on May 2nd

Babydust to all

Hey everyone!

Just checking in! Missed yesterday- at work

It's good to see how everyone is getting on and share this experience! Seems like the 2WW goes on forever.

Waiting - sorry about your BFN but you're not out until AF arrives. FXd for you.

According to CBFM, my peaks were 24/25 April (CD14/15). Trying desperately not to symptom spot, but BD was spot on this month so can't help it!

Feel tired - could nod off anytime during the day. Had blood test results back today (for something else) and everything like underactive thyroid etc is clear so nothing wrong with me!
Felt hungry on and off - really hungry this morning - and have a heavy feeling in my tummy. Feel huge! Seems similar to the last 4 pregnancies (none successful that's why I'm here!) but seems to be too early really. Only 4 / 5 dpo.

Not getting my hopes up!

Hope everyone else is going along well.

 

[MrsTTC]

Hi everyone!

I got all excited last month (or this month actually) but sadly the witch got me and I've just about finished with that now.

We've been trying for 3 months since coming off the pill and it seems like the longest 3 months ever. I am optimistic for this month though and will try not to pee on things before I'm at least 10dpo!!!

 

[parkgirl]

Hello ladies, may I join? I'm turning 30 before the next time I test and feeling like I've waited too long to start trying. It helps knowing that I'm not alone.

I'm testing on May 25th.

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Lucky - FX that the O comes soon. So wish that was where I am in my cycle. Do you just use OPK or do you temp also?

Princess - course you can be on here, but wow ttc # 5. Im not sure how many times I could go through this tcc lark let alone look after 5 children!!
