I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@BiscuitLover3678 yep really slow! CD12 for me and first day of fertile period according to apps but I cba to DTD which I know is the wrong mindset. It all just feels like an effort this month.

@Sunshine92 when do you usually ovulate? Might just be later this month. Doesn’t mean that you’re not currently fertile.

Sunshine92 · 09/03/2022 20:13

Hi @Tinkerbell098 sending all the baby dust your way and hope these two weeks pass quickly! šŸ’«

@BiscuitLover3678 yes, this month feels really slow for me…I haven’t DTD once yet but my OPKs are so so low!

Has anyone else had results this low before?! It went up a little bit on CD11 then back down again…think I’ve missed it?! 😩

Anyone else feel like this is a really slow month?
Dh is feeling much better thanks! Hopefully we can get to it soon. How about you?

According to all my apps ovulation should be tomorrow but I’m still getting a blank smiley and really faint lines.

Hi @Tinkerbell098! Everything crossed for this month for you 😊
For me CD 15 and a crappy 0.23 level. Total false alarm last night.
@BiscuitLover3678 how's DH?

Charl881 · 09/03/2022 15:51

@Tinkerbell098 not even in the TWW yet! Due to ovulate Sunday/ Monday so still got at least two weeks before I can even think about testing.

Tinkerbell098 · 09/03/2022 15:04

@Charl881 thanks :) when are you due to test?

Charl881 · 09/03/2022 14:13

@Tinkerbell098 welcome, I hope the TWW passes quickly for you. Although what I hate about TTC is you’re constantly trying to fast forward time. Fingers crossed this is your month, my DS took 13 months to conceive, was so shocked when I got my BFP. Now it feels like number 2 will never happen, just got to keep on hoping.

Tinkerbell098 · 09/03/2022 11:58

Hi ladies, I've just finished my FW and entering the TWW. Can I join? Just wanted some positivity in my life as have been struggling for more than a year to conceive. Now trying to focus on positive things like the would be due date/ how to tell OH the good news/ how to break the news to the rest of the family etc. So, hoping for a December baby. Nice to meet you all :)

MrsGrealish · 08/03/2022 21:27

@Charl881 šŸ™ˆ actually? Wish me luck tonight then šŸ˜…

Charl881 · 08/03/2022 19:39

@MrsGrealish last month I had .38 in the morning then my peak that same evening, confirmed with a digital clear blue, so it might be closer than you think!

I hate this bit of waiting for the fertile period, almost as bad as the TWW.

And thank you. If I’m out this month then I’ll get some for next month. Something to focus on.

@FreckledMouse I actually don't mind cd1 either. I find it more frustrating between a bfn at 9dpo and then waiting for cd1 because you feel stuck in a pointless cycle šŸ˜‚.

I'm on cd12 and got my static this morning, though my cheapies aren't quite positive yet so will probably ovulate tomorrow or the day after.

That puts me at a due date of 1st December if I was successful and I'd most likely need an elective c-section, so would really be around the mid 20s of November.

BiscuitLover3678 · 08/03/2022 14:26

@MrsGrealish

Ok so day off today and time to obsess about LH levels. CD14 and a low 0.38 maybe I'll ovulate later this weekšŸ¤ž
What tests are you using to get a number? Fingers crossed! Also means you have time to be in the mood to DTD Grin

[quote Charl881]@BiscuitLover3678 are you doing OPK testing? It only takes once and today is still a bit early if you do ovulate on Thursday so fingers crossed he’s better for tomorrow / Wednesday![/quote]
That’s true I’m hoping he perks up.

I am and they’re low or a bit inconclusive. My digital opk one seems to be broken!

OP posts:
Sunshine92 · 08/03/2022 13:01

@Charl881 ooh thank you! That’s made me feel better! I have been testing in the morning and then again in the evening … if I remember šŸ™ˆ
I’ll hope for the best!

Charl881 · 08/03/2022 12:54

@Sunshine92 last month my LH levels went from really low to peak in one day! So defo recommend testing more than once a day if you don’t already

Sunshine92 · 07/03/2022 21:04

@MrsGrealish yeah, probably should DTD if we want babies šŸ˜‚ I don’t know what’s going on with my LH levels, they are super low this month so far. I’m on CD12 and levels are only 0.12! I usually get my peak on CD14…so we will see!

@BiscuitLover3678 - oh no, hope your DH perks up enough to DTD, it’s so frustrating when you have your heart set on baby making and things get in the way šŸ˜”

Charl881 · 07/03/2022 20:44

Bubblesandballoons · 07/03/2022 20:31

Hey how’s everyone? Welcome to the newbies. I’m just waiting to see when I ovulate this month, hoping it’s nearer cd14 šŸ¤žšŸ».
@MrsGrealish last month after my chemical I ovulated on cd19, so hopefully you are just running a bit late.
@BiscuitLover3678 sorry to hear your dh is poorly. Hope he’s feeling better and up for it in the next few days.
@FreckledMouse that’s a lovely way to see it. Hopefully this is your month šŸ¤žšŸ»

FreckledMouse · 07/03/2022 20:02

Hi everyone ā™„ļø
Jumping across from Nov Babies as AF arrived today so CD1 for me 😩
I'm on Cycle 11 of TTC
I had a MC in Feb at 5+2
An Ectopic last July at 7+6 with an emergency operation
I have endometriosis
I'm 31
First AF since the MC so hoping it will "clear everything out" 🤢

I know most people find CD 1 depressing (and don't get me wrong it is) but I try and see it as a fresh start, I chance to try again and new things ā™„ļø

Good luck everyone āœØšŸ¤žšŸ¼

BiscuitLover3678 · 07/03/2022 12:17

I’m gutted! Dh too ill to DTD, I just hope he’s better before Thurs when I’m due to ovulate! It’s already Monday! I’m also worried I might ovulate early this month because me period was so short, so may already be getting close to too late Sad

I hope others are having a better month for it. It’s hard not to feel down when you haven’t even been able to give it a proper go.

MrsGrealish · 06/03/2022 21:35

@Sunshine92 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ o god what are we likešŸ˜‚ must DTD it will not happen on its own! I have literally peaked every month on CD13 and it's normally about 0.4 by CD12. No EWCM and a measly 0.21 todayšŸ˜•

@Charl881 I wasn't for OPK testing this month either but curiosity got the better of me today. Good luck for next week xx

@BiscuitLover3678 I think I do need to chill this month. OH also needs to chill. I was updating work cycles on my iPad just there and I said the word cycle to him and he automatically assumed menstrual cycle šŸ˜‚ very unlike him I must have been talking about this way too much xx hope your DH and DS recover soon xx

Charl881 · 06/03/2022 20:54

Sorry I’m not very good at checking mumsnet when it’s not the TWW! How’s everyone doing?

I’m due to ovulate this time next week (going off past cycles) so about to hit my fertile week. Loose plan is to DTD CD11, CD13, CD15, CD16 and CD 18. I usually ovulate on around CD 16. Trying not to test this month hence picking some days!
