Ttc #1

[SoccerMomtoB]

Hi all!! I am TTC #1 and this is our third month of trying. Today I am CD 25 and 8 dpo. I'm having the same symptoms as I've had since we first started trying and I can only assume that is because I am hypersensitive to everything now. However, this month I'm having a lot of light cramping but a strong burning sensation on my right ovary. It's not uncomfortable or painful per se, just more annoying as I can't test yet and I don't know what it is.

Also, since the last 2 months were both BFN, I've had a VERY strong feeling that this month will be the same. Month 1 I thought I was, Month 2 and 3 I do not. I do not plan on testing until Aug 7th which would be my first day of a missed period.

Thoughts?

Hello I'm TTC no.1 and in my second month of trying.

It's so hard to tell with symptoms.. I think you can only confirm in retrospect when you do get pregnant. Sadly possible pregnancy symptoms are identical to AF symptoms! This month I've had virtually no symptoms what so ever.. AF is due on Friday :-/ hope the pain in your ovary is OK, you'd imagine it would only hurt around ovulation ..

Lots of luck to you - the two week wait is SO frustrating. I'm 12/13 DPO today, planning on testing tomorrow a day before my period. I've got a family party on Friday so I could really do with knowing tomorrow as I know I'll have a drink put straight in my hand .. fingers crossed an early response should be fairly accurate at 13/14 DPO.

Let us know how you get on

Well, AF is due tomorrow and I've had VERY light spotting all day yesterday and today. This is the usual MO so I assume I'm not Another month of heartbreak.

I'm sorry soccermom, spotting doesn't count as AF though!

Are you temping? Could be worth trying if you're not sure when you ovulate. I learned so much about my body when I started temping.

Try not to be too disappointed. It's completely normal to not fall pregnant straight away. They say 12 months, but I'd give it 6 before you start to be too concerned. You're not giving up, just keep trying.

Thanks I'm not temping but I am extremely regular and have been since I stopped birth control 3 years ago. We're only on month three of TTC but I am also almost 35

How frequently are you BDing? There's a chance if you're just estimating O day that it could be out. Temping helps you to work out how long your LP and FP are. If you're BDing every other day throughout your cycle that should be ok though.

They say give it 6 months when you're 35. So if it makes it easier, just think you'll either have your BFP or some answers and help in the next three months.

Hi! We are waiting until CD 10 to have sex and then we have it every other day until O day. Then we usually try on O day and the day after for good measure. AF hasn't come yet so cross your fingers!!

Also, today it was 85 degrees out and I've been FREEZING all day. To the point where I just made myself hot chocolate while my husband sits in basketball shorts by the ac ...

How do you know when you're Oing? Are you using OPKs if you're not temping?

I didn't get my BFP until i was 7-8 weeks, i had these cramps that were annoying and i would just think when is this witch going to come ? i would take test after test until i finally got my BFP i mc @ 10wks but i was grateful to see that plus sign. Good luck baby dust

Sorry to hear soccermom. TTC is a complete rollercoaster of emotions. I know what you mean about spotting. I always start spotting at 12 dpo and it always means AF is coming. I'm 12 dpo today, and I'm really hoping I get no spotting.
