Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

[quote DOB78]@arc91 That looks really promising!!!

I'm 10dpo today and AF also due Friday. I don't really have any symptoms apart from sore bbs, nausea, back ache and what I can only describe as right side womb ache. I'm losing hope 😔 although I know I'm not out till the red witch shows her ugly head[/quote]
11dpo today. Af due friday I think. Tested again today only to be disappointed 😔 havent used frer yet. Used the strips

@Katiecorn aww I'm sorry to hear. Cheapie tests really are not the most reliable sometimes so it could be that. Do you have other brands? Not out until af shows so rooting for you!

@Twittwoo2020 my af and bfp symptoms are so similar, i gave up trying to decipher every symptom. The only distinction I seem to have before a bfp is a sharp pulling pain behind my belly button.
Sorry to hear about your ectopic and pray you get the Christmas blessing you deserve xx 🌈🌈

@arc91 I can see line! So excited for you, fingers crossed. Try a pink dye one tomorrow or day after it should be stronger.

Thanks for asking. I still feel soo anxious and can't even sleep. Just keep dreading the worst. Still can't believe I'm pregnant really lol. Been to gp this morning and sent out the referral form for midwife. I'll try take each day at a time 🙏

@Twittwoo2020 thanks lovely ☺️

Twittwoo2020 · 14/12/2020 11:15

@arc91 I’m CD 21 today and 7 DPO. AF was originally due on the 25th but I ovulated earlier this month so my tracker brought AF forward to the 21st. Going to try hold off testing until Saturday or Sunday if I can.

Today I woke up floored with exhaustion I couldn’t believe how tired I was. Other than that I’ve just had some cramping for the past few days and been emotional. I had an ectopic in July so would love to finish the year on a brighter note!

@arc91 congrats hun can deffo see a line. I'm feeling a bit deflated today tbh think thats just cos of the negative cheapo test from this morning, also pretty moody and boobs are feeling a bit stabby lol xx

arc91 · 14/12/2020 10:41

Thank you! I really hope it’s the start of a real thing and not just my body playing tricks, I really wish I had the patience and will power to wait to test but being realistic I don’t this time around!!

What CDs are you now? @Twittwoo2020 @Rumples

How are you feeling @Lille4 @Katiecorn

@Leah2501 I’m due Friday (18th) still not sure how accurate that is though as it’s only my second cycle after mc earlier this year

Leah2501 · 14/12/2020 10:36

@arc91 there is definitely a line there! Fingers crossed for you!

Who else is due AF around Christmas? For me AF is due 27/12... Wanting to test either Christmas Eve or Christmas morning

Twittwoo2020 · 14/12/2020 10:15

@arc91

I woke up at 5.30 and wanted to do my first CB Early Detection, I think I’m around 11dpo today. Can anyone else see a really faint line?! There’s a prominent evap line there now but this picture was taken within the 10 mins after doing the test. I know it’s probably too faint but it’s making me feel a bit more hopefully today, AF is due on Friday.

Good luck 😁🤞🏼 @Alist12 @Leah2501 @Twittwoo2020

Twittwoo2020 · 13/12/2020 21:46

Trying so hard not to symptom spot but it’s impossible. Why do we torture ourselves like this!Grin

I got a positive OPK on CD 13 and 14 with my peak showing on the CD13. I had an internal scan on CD 14 (investigations for Endometriosis) and the gynaecologist told me he could see a pretty big follicle that was close to rupturing. We DTD on CD 11,13,14,15 and 16. Think I ovulated on CD 14 or 15, I’m not temping this cycle as we were trying to reduce the pressure on ourselves!!

Katiecorn · 13/12/2020 21:23

@Alist12 fab news! Look forward to seeing how you get on x

Alist12 · 13/12/2020 19:50

@Katiecorn Did my second opk and it's darker then the one before, my egg white cm has finally made an appearance so I guess it's time to dtd over the next couple of days🤗

Iloveoreos · 13/12/2020 19:38

[quote Lille4]@Leah2501 very high chances. This cycle we only dtd on the day I got my peak. I used opk in the morning and it was very high/peak, we dtd that evening and the next day as well because my opk was still reading high.
Bfp 13 days later. So you definitely have a chance. Good luck xxx[/quote]
Congrats hun xx 😇😇😇😇

Leah2501 · 13/12/2020 19:10

So I’ve hit peak! Woo!... So today I’m 1DPO. Anyone know how high your chances are if you DTD twice during peak? 😂

@Alist12 keep us updated. Good luck

Alist12 · 13/12/2020 18:35

@Katiecorn no worries, I'm doing my second opk of the day in about an hour I've been holding it in for 4 hours so hopefully the line will be a bit more darker. Fingers crossed🤞🏼

Katiecorn · 13/12/2020 17:03

@Alist12 thats what i mean sorry I'm not the best at explaining it sounds like your in your fertile window, I'm fairly new to this whole checking ovulation, CM etc so probably not the best person to give advice 😅.

@twittwoo2020 good luck I told myself the same thing and ended up testing at 10,12 & 15 dpo lol. Curiosity got too much 🤦‍♀️

Twittwoo2020 · 13/12/2020 16:48

First time to post on a Mumsnet thread!

TTC #1 had an ectopic during the summer and had to wait 3 months before trying again. Started to try in October so we are on cycle #3.

I’m about 6 DPO today and yesterday I had the biggest emotional outburst and cried over nothing, I’m the least emotional person ever normally! Really hoping this is our month AF is due on the 21st so going to try my hardest not to test early!

Alist12 · 13/12/2020 16:44

@Katiecorn I'm still 1 - 2 days away from my ovulation

Alist12 · 13/12/2020 16:40

@Katiecorn but shouldn't it already be an egg white consistency?
