Younger Future Mommas?

[clynn11]

Bringing this thread back to life!! Ladies, how are we all doing?!?!

I'm on cycle 4 TTC after a year of NTNP. Hoping to O here soon. Going to force myself to not test until AF is late (Oh wait, don't I say this every cycle?!) lol. I'm a serious POAS addict. Really tired of seeing everyone around me popping up pregnant while i'm just here like MY TURN YET?! I hope it happens soon. Would love to give DF an awesome b-day surprise this month (he turns 25 on the 27th).

I agree, this thread needs to come back! I am on cycle 2, 12dpo. Af is due today according to my 11 day lp of last time. I am testing on Monday at 14dpo if she doesn't show.

 

[clynn11]

babyrogers- hope the stays away and you get your BFP!! You had a long first cycle it looks according to your temps like things are starting to regulate though. FX for you!!

 

[Skyler2014]

Yeah 68 day first cycle and if af comes today it'll be a 34 day cycle so right in half. Hopefully there won't be another cycle though

Hi ladies can I join?
Iv just turned 21.. And this is my first cycle since coming off bc on the 1st march. I had my withdrawal bleed from the 4th to the 11th and since then we have just been BDing like mad! I have no idea what a normal cycle is for me as iv been on bc since iwas 16! So I'm currently waiting with all my fingers and toes crossed to see what happens! Iv had backache and cramps since yesterday so dreading the worst! Need lots of support and advice please ladies! Xx

 

[clynn11]

Welcome Flutterbyex! Are you using OPKs? Those give you a great idea as to when you are O'ing so you have better chances to catch the egg! Also BBT temperature charting can show you when you O with temps- BBT doesn't tell you until AFTER you've O'd but it gives you a better idea of your Luteal Phase so you can get to know your body and know when to expect AF instead of it all being a guessing game! GL hun!!

AFM, 8dpo and BFN today on an OSOM. Feeling out

 

[WhitheartsQ]

Can I sneak in here too? I am on my first cycle of ttc. I am at 6t dpo. Have had twinges, but no other symptoms. Both me and my dh are 24.

Clynn what is osom? I would test again later 8dpo is still early and could easily be wrong.
Babyrogers, I hope the witch stays away and you get your bfp on Monday!!
Flutterbyex I hope you get regulated quickly!

Good luck to all!

 

[clynn11]

Welcome WhitheartsQ! GL I hope you see your BFP quickly!!

OSOM is a certain brand of pregnancy test, it's a black dye test that detects hCG 100% of the time at 20miu and detects 10miu a little under 60% of the time. So it's a very sensitive test. But it is still early, thank you

 

[WhitheartsQ]

Just read through your journal, question was answered there. lol.
Did you decide which day you really o'd? the 22 or 24th? I o'd on the 24th, so our cycles are pretty close. When do you plan to test?

 

[clynn11]

I think that I o'd the 22nd personally, but FF tells me according to BBT temps I O'd the 24th. I think it's just because I had a slow incline of my temp going up after O. But who knows, FF could be right. 2 of their monitors put me at 8dpo and 2 of them put me at 6dpo, so I guess there's a 50/50 chance i'm either lol.

I tested today with an OSOM, BFN. I think I'll probably test again on Tuesday.

 

[WhitheartsQ]

I hope you get your bfp on tuesday!

 

[clynn11]

Thank you! I hope you get your BFP too, then we can be bump buddies!

 

[WhitheartsQ]

That would be the best!!

 

[Flutterbyex]

Hi
I was just going to take the relaxed approach for the first few months til my cycles sorted themselves out... I have read up about temping and opks and will probably start using them after a few cycles if we have no luck! Fingers crossed it won't come to that tho! I have my fx for all of you! Would love some buddy's that are in it for the long haul right through til pregnancy birth and beyond! Xx

 

[clynn11]

I agree i'd love to connect with women who I can go through the entire journey with!! Hopefully this thread starts producing some beautiful BFPs!!! Last chance for 2013 babies!

 

[WhitheartsQ]

I never thought about that! Any later and it would be a 2014 baby, crazy!
Ok, so I am pretty excited because I just bought my first pregnancy tests! I've had them before but got them as bridal shower gifts. Now just to decide when to test. According to the app I use I am 6 dpo, but I think I may have o'd earlier and that would put me at 8 dpo.
As far as symptoms I've been extra emotional, have felt bloated and have had cramps and twinges.
When would you guys suggest testing?

 

[clynn11]

Honestly it really just depends on you! I've seen BFPs reported 6dpo and on, but 6dpo is EXTREMELY early and uncommon. I'm a POAS addict so I test early all of the time lol

 

[WhitheartsQ]

When you test early do you have a hard time being positive about testing again later? Does that question make sense? Lol

Hi ladies

I have just turned 23 and we have been trying for about 21 months, I have pcos which is a pain. Have had 5 or 6 rounds of clomid, no bfp yet. Thought had a faint one last cycle but bloods were neg

We are sort of on a break this cycle, no clomid and no tracking but also not preventing. Its been nice and next cycle we are trying Femara

I have found other people to be very oh you're still young, you have plenty of time...... drives me nuts

My aunty is pregnant and we were told Christmas day and my 20 year old half sister just found out she is preg with the first grandchild for my dad... that was verfy hard to take since she does a lot of drugs and drinks but I have sort of just pushed it out of m mind as much as I can. A chick I went to high school with is having her 4th child... all I want is 1! Tryin to be positive all the time can be tiring!

 

[WhitheartsQ]

Luckyslippers, welcome! It can be hard to stay positive all the time. I'm sorry people brush off your hardships by saying you are young, that doesn't make it any less hard. I hope you enjoy your break and get a bfp soon!
