First time TTC; going crazy!

View Full Post

Hello all, I have found this site while going crazy during this two week wait. I am inexperienced with symptoms and waiting and what to expect...I would appreciate anyone's advice...

My LMP was 2/11, I'm sure I ovulated between 2/25-2/27...I began with breast heaviness & soreness on 2/28 which is unusual for me to start with that early before AF. And it as continued - still sore boobs/swollen. I have noticed I've been a little more tired; requiring a nap the other day and going to bed earlier. And finally, on 9 or 10 DPO, (yesterday) I started with some dull lower abd cramping/pressure on & off all day... I have tested the last couple days because I am so impatient!!!! And obviously BFN... I know it is too early... Does it sound like I may have a chance?? Maybe I'm making up these symptoms?? AF is due 3/11... and I'm thankful for working 12 hour shifts the next couple days to distract myself! Please advise!!!

i know the feeling of not wanting to be disappointed, i am also afraid to take a new test. i am CD 31 today. Almost every store is closed on sunday including pharmacies , so i stocked on a digital today and booth pharmacies tests. and am waiting to test with mondays fmu using the pharmacy test and wait Cd 35 b4 i use the digital to confirm if am really pregnant.
I saw ur line, to me its positive, but those dollar tests hav a bad reputation amongst the ladies here, as it gives bad evaporations and dashed hopes, so i hope u get a better one to test with and get a BFP.
i see the line on mine clearly, but my man couldnt see it and only one persons voted positive on my test, so am cautiously optimistic as i also dont want to get hurt. All the best sister. update soon

I looked at your test. I see something there. It's very faint, so hard to tell what it is. I hope it's a BFP. I took another dollar test this morning and It looked more positive than my other one. So I took a digital test and it was BFN. I'm so sad. I had been feeling light headed and nauseous all morning and I really thought I may be pregnant. AF is supposed to be here tomorrow so we will see.

Hey Reneee, just thought I would check in with you and see how things are going. Isn't it almost testing time for you?! AF was due yesterday and hasn't come. Trying not to get my hopes up since that last test I did wasn't promising. Just waiting patiently. If its gonna come I just wish it would hurry up so I could get started working on this next month. Oh well, guess I will know something soon. Let me know how you're doing :)

was just thinking aba u and wanted to motivate u for the next cycle. mine was also a negative this morning but no Af yet, so we wait and see. i have given up completely on this cycle and cried myself to sleep again. wat else can i do. i think the evaporation i also had on my wondfos gave me a lil hope i was holding on to, now its time to be realistic. Goodluck my dear, hope next cycle is the one. it will be my 7th cycle TTC #1

Hi ladies,

My name is Ashley. I am 30 & have been married since June 2012. My husband and I have just started ttc this month. I have never paid so much attention to AF or ovulation in the past, but past on calculations and CM, I am quite sure I pinpointed my ovulation. We BD'd days before and a day after and 2 dpo, I have been spotting. I am now 7dpo & still spotting. It has been both red and brown, and I have been cramping a little this week as well. Two days in particular I was ridiculously tired. I tested which was silly at 5dpo & got a BFN. However, I am not giving up hope!

My period lasted a bit longer than usual and I don't know how long my cycle is, so I hope to find out my results on 3.28.13. I made a doctor appointment for my yearly, so hoping to kill two birds with one stone. I was indeed more optimistic a few days ago, but I am not losing hope. If I'm not pregnant this time around, I think I will try OPK.

Good luck to everyone! ;)

Hi Renee,

I will definitely post either way when I find out fore sure. From what I read, most women don't bleed that early, but some who have were pregnant.

Good luck to you and everyone else on here. This really seems to be a great site to use. I'm glad I stumbled across it. :)

Update: I am not pregnant and currently on CD4. The doctor wasn't worried about my spotting and said she was sure she would see me in six months time pregnant.

This time around, we are going to BD more (last month was only 3 or 4 times total), preseed, soft cups, tracking on ovuline (they say average time users get pregnant is 56 days), fertility calculator calendar, continued prenatal vitamins and BBT (if I keep up with it.)

Another month trying equals closer to baby!

Hi Reneee and ashleylauren! Sorry it's been awhile since I posted! Ashleylauren, sorry to hear it was a no go last month. It was for me too :(
Just a quick update...I am currently on cd 18 and I decided to start using opk's this month. And let me just say...I'm glad I did! Turns out I ovulate later than I have been thinking for the last 3 months. I just got a positive yesterday. So I guess that could be why we've been missing the mark. Hopefully we will get it right this month!! So how's it been going Reneee? Can't wait to hear updates from y'all!
