TTC December part 2

@Floralsandsmiles oooh sounds promising 🤞🏼 I hope it isn't AF spotting for you! Have you had any blood tests to check your progesterone levels?

@Angelselevenx no I don't think I'll get a chance to hide it would be too obvious in our bathroom 🙄 I'll have to try and do a hold and do one a bit later 😂 ahhh yes it probably will be a bit delayed

@Floralsandsmiles Oohh that sounds like it could potentially be something positive 🤞🏻

Think positive @Floralsandsmiles , would you have loads of CM if it was just spotting?

@bringmearainbow were all guilty of testing the second that implantation may have happened 🤣

You'll have to hide the pee cup and test when he's downstairs!! Or it might be good that he's home to stop you from testing!

I'm alright thank you, it has yeah, yesterday it started properly so taking yesterday as CD1. I'm going to LH test too every other day just because my cycle is probably going to be a bit messed up now xx

@Floralsandsmiles that’s really positive 🤞🏻

Same here! I can see even a hint of a shadow 😂 I’m 8dpo today, absolutely stark white strip. To be expected really!

@Angelselevenx I'm good thanks lovely 7dpo today I did do a IC this morning even though I knew that it wouldn't show anything 😆 but couldn't help myself. DH is now home every morning for the rest of the weekend so I might not get a chance to test much 🙄 esp with FMU. I have no symptoms CM is creamy and probably about normal amount and boobies are sore which is pretty normal for me. Though they did ramp up on the sore scale this morning. How are you doing? Has AF started properly yet? Xxx

@bringmearainbow how are you doing? Xx

@Mushroo that’s exciting! Is it easy@home tests?
I find I usually peak 24 hrs after a high, so testing twice daily from my first high reading! Then it shots back down quickly.

We are all different of course, but anything from now baby dancing is indeed perfect timing 🤞🏻✨

First time using OPKs and just had my first ‘high’ reading.

Weirdly excited to see when I’ll peak, I’m so glad it’s over the long weekend as lots of opportunity to BD!

@ttcat37 it's defo a negative 🫣 I'm usually quite good and picking up the lines but think I'm still a bit early to test. Should of left it til tomorrow to start as I'm 6 days to AF then 😂

I’m 37 and TTC our first so I know the feeling!

How is the not-line today?! Does it look more like a line?

do any of you track bbt and what do your charts look like

@Sierra26 hey welcome back!
the ferti Lily wasn’t too bad at all after the initial tries I found anyway haha it was my first cycle using it too - practising was a good idea!

I have read so many good things I hope it’s our time to shine 🤞🏻🙌🏻

Helloo, thought the other thread had gone weirdly quiet! I’ve been laying low anyway as I got a bit down in the dumps after last cycle and needed a mental break.

Going to try and be less active on here but still keen to see how everyone is getting on…

CD11 and we’re apart this weekend so DTD this morning and my first attempt with the Fertilily 😳 I’m a bit nervous! I’ve never used a menstrual cup so it’s a new concept for me.

technically if we’re successful it would be a 2nd Jan due date but I’m not ready to leave the Dec threads behind 😂

@ttcat37 interesting, thanks for that! If I don't get pregnant this cycle I'll start tracking next time altho I just didn't want they obsessed again but needs just and I'm 35 this year 🫣😂
Aw my eyes are playing tricks on me too I think I see a line until I examine it closely 🙈

If you do a progesterone blood test on day CD21 (based on a 28 day cycle I think) the level can indicate whether you likely ovulated or not. It’s one of the first tests that the GP does when you’ve been TTC for a long time without success. I bought a one from Medichecks as my bbt is indicating I might not have and I wanted to know if I’m having an anovulatory cycle.

I also got an AMH test from Randox. It took a while to arrive but I sent it on Tuesday and got the results lunchtime on Wednesday!

I’m the same as you, due on the 14th, no symptoms, no reason to test other than feeding an urge!

Oh Monday will be 10dpo for me! Fingers crossed for both of us! I’ve had 3 chemicals so get the lines and then they disappear… hoping it’s my body sifting through the rubbish eggs and one of these days it’ll be a really good egg 😊
I’m impressed you can do 1 test a day! I use the strips and I think ehhhh what’s one more strip just for the afternoon…

@ttcat37 can I ask what is the progesterone test?
I'm with you on the POAS addiction, been testing since Tuesday and my AF not due til
The 14th so negative tests all round 🫣😂

@ttcat37 im right there with you

and defo a hypocrite as I will be testing 9DPO this cycle which is Monday and likely do one every day until 14th April 🙈! And I don’t care how light that line is whenever it comes, I haven’t had even a whiff of one. I’ll be over the moon 🌙
fingers crossed for you over the next few days x

I know, I don’t know why I torture myself 😂

I keep seeing these big pink lines on peoples’ tests and thinking wow… I can’t wait for the day I see more than a shadow 🥲

I love looking at the line eyes posts and seeing other tests as they give me so much hope!

@ttcat37 still so so early, but I understand the feeling you’re out… I know it oh so well!

when I was pregnant with first, granted I wasn’t trying and was very young and naive… I had Zero signs until 4/5 days late and some blue veins on my boobs 🙈
then even then I had a very very faint FRER (purchased not knowing they are the holy grail of mumsnetter)

it was so so light - I threw it away thinking it was negative!!! Oh how the times have changed… I had to get my mother to interpret it 🤣🤡 we laugh even now… anyway long story for me to just say…. You don’t always feel it… but there is still a chance you are 💗
