All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

Just adding to my earlier post. Loads of ewcm, which is unusual for me, but my LH isn’t rising as it normally does at this point in my cycle. Previous months my lowest by this day has been 0.46 Today it’s 0.22. This is all so confusing

So sorry to hear. I had a CP my first cycle trying, was bleeding 3 days after I was due on, lasted the same length of my usual period, I skipped the next cycle of trying as wasn't well, but my period came at normal time so hopefully wouldn't affect ovulation.

Rollercoaster of a week here. BFP last Wednesday with a fairly strong line. Lots of cramping over the weekend which reached a peak yesterday so I tested again and the line was so faint you could only see it in certain lights.
Today I have slightly brown tinged discharge and I’m expecting the bleeding to start anytime. I really didn’t know much about chemical pregnancies and now I can’t believe I’m living one!
So deflated but hopeful for the future, no idea how long it’ll take to bleed and then ovulate again though which is annoying.

Cycle day 15 for me, my Clue app thinks I'm 2 DPO, and I'm due on Christmas Eve, so hoping for a Christmas Day gift! Feels like ages away!

well I’m supposed to be 4DPO today, I miscarried on October and it took me 6 weeks to get my cycle back. Then I got my CB peak on CD9 so here I am 4DPO and I had pink blood when I wiped earlier this am. It’s stopped now but now I’ve typed this out I’m expecting AF will hit me soon, really gutted that this cycle is wasted on a ridiculously short luteal phase

@LucyLoopyLu I spoke too soon as AF came on eventually heavier!! Nevermind!

I’m now at 10dpi, feeling pretty normal except I’ve had on/off boob pain/aching and itchy nipples pretty much since ovulation. Also had some crazy bloating which is the only symptom I had with my chemical so trying to not read too much into it.

Had some bloods done last week for other reasons- got a letter today saying I need apt to discuss results, I’m fairly sure it’s my thyroid but won’t give me apt until 9th Jan 🙄so if it is a thyroid issue I’m fairly sure that’s me out again this month

CD12 here. Sorry for the TMI but for the first time in a few months I’ve had noticeable ewcm today! I have been taking evening primrose this month and I can only put it down to this! Fingers crossed this help🤞🏻

@Bananatoast123 oh that's odd. If I was you I'd wait and see till tomorrow morning, then if still no more AF test with FMU. Although think that might take a lot of willpower! Let us know how you get on.

Hi @Purple29, I remember you from threads earlier in the year. Sorry you're still here too. Hoping this is the lucky one for you x

@Bananatoast123 I would maybe test anyway if you're 14 dpo, or see how you get on today and test first thing tomorrow morning. Keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

I feel so thrown as 14dpo and my period has gone since 8pm yesterday when I had a bath! Usually it would’ve gotten really heavy today. I hate this as don’t want to get my hopes up but also used my first wee of the day so can’t test!

Hi can I join? We are ttc #2. It took us almost 2 yrs to concieve DS and we started trying again in Oct last year. Got a BFP at the start of dec last year but unfortunately was ectopic and had to have surgery on new years eve. 😭 was partially ruptured so I lost the tube too.
I've just turned 40, and only one tube less so think it's gonna be a difficult journey.
I'm currently CD 14 and had my peak on CD12. AF would be due on Xmas eve so I'm really hoping for a better festive season than I got last year!!!!

@BCxx we called the doctors in August time and she said give it a few months! I did a basic at home blood test and all looked fine, although my amh is within range after Googling I think it looks low (but not like dangerously low). But apparently that’s a bigger impact for IVF and egg collection than for conceiving naturally as I’m still v young! I’ve seen so many like them on YouTube and tiktok and it does give hope! I think we might get private tests early next year just to know it’s all ok! I’m starting to think 2023 is my year 🤞🏼

@BCxx today's test looks good and if no more bleeding hopefully it was just implantation 🤞 really hope everything will be OK for you

@BCxx that's looking promising isn't it 😀

@Bananatoast123 sorry to see your af arrived, hopefully christmas will help distract you from it all and fingers crossed you get round to dtd in and amongst the festivities

@Bananatoast123 it must be so hard to stay positive but it does seem to just be pure chance. I was glad this was our second, but I know secondary infertility is a thing too. Will you not be eligible for the basic blood tests and stuff at your doctors? If you haven’t seen fab and ell on YouTube you should watch their ttc story. It took them two years in the end because he had a low sperm count but they conceived naturally and it ended up being twins!

@BCxx I know! I will ovulate on Xmas day now so hopefully the festivities helps!

It’s frustrating not knowing if it’s just down to chance as to why we are now month 11 (given the average is 12 months) or if there’s an issue like my OH sperm or me structurally! We’ve said we’ll get testing in January but also need to save up for other stuff in 2023.

I’m going to stay positive though 🤞🏼 seeing it as one month closer! Plus got a friends wedding next week so now can enjoy that!

@Bananatoast123 aww no way 😔 gutting! I was working out if it was next cycle we’d literally conceived on like Christmas Day though, that would be nice.. and the drinking thing. Every cloud, hopefully this is your last period 🤞🏼

AF has darkened my door once again! Onto cycle 11!

@BCxx its awful waiting once you’ve seen a faint line isn’t it… it’s why I’d now rather just see something strong and that’s it!!

Still no signs either way for me… tbh expecting AF to turn up today or tomorrow!

@Bananatoast123 honestly after this experience I wish I had just waited. Even if I’d just done that test today I’d probably have been delighted but because I’ve been doing them for days I don’t really feel happy or sad about it, just don’t know what to think 😂 my boobs were really full feeling this morning, my sense of smell is definitely heightened and I don’t have any cramps now like itl be AF so just having to hope there’s no more blood today! Fingers crossed for Tuesday for you 🤞🏼

@MrsMotts thank you, feeling a bit more optimistic today, I had written it off yesterday completely so if there’s any chance now I’ll go with that 🙈 going to do my last frer tomorrow and a digital weeks one in the middle of next week which should hopefully be 2-3 by then!

@BCxx that looks darker!! Keeping my fingers crossed! 11dpo is still so early too so hopefully it gets even darker!

AF due today but it’s not shown up yet 🤞🏼 refusing to test until tuesday

@BCxx its the worst type of clock watching ever! Time stands still! So glad there’s been no more bleeding. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼❤️

update: just a small amount of dry blood over night. Today is 11 dpo and this is compared to the test from Friday. I didn’t take a picture of yesterday’s but it was somewhere inbetween. I’m now crossing everything that this might not be a chemical 🤞🏼🤞🏼
