New thread for those of us now trying for the first babies of 2024, may we all be lucky this month!

I'm CD1 today of cycle 6 ttc my second.
Had a chemical at the end of February and lots of illness in March so revved up to give this month all I've got!

@Belle97 I think that it could be that your urine is more diluted in the evening so the line would be fainter. Maybe try another test in the morning and see if it's darker? Fingers crossed for you.

I need help!!

Period is 5 days late, but had some bleeding (brown/rusty colour) today and needed to wear a pad, no clots or anything. But done a clear blue early detention and a easy at home this morning and they're positive.
Pics attached xx

Ps, no cramping or anything, more like a tingling feeling and done another test this evening and the line is v v v faint - lighter than this morning. Could this be implantation bleeding? Is it normal for the strength of the line to disappear in an evening?

Hi lovelies.

was wondering if I can join, first cycle TTC #2. DD is 20months (Aug21).

Have a funny sinking feeling we have missed timed this month as hubby has been away on a stag do whilst I ovulated. About 3dpo, but feeling so deflated.

What TV programmes or things are using to distract the TWW?

I swear before TTC my period felt like it came every week the time just flew between them but now we're trying they take forever! 😩 anyone else feel like this πŸ₯²

Aww I'm sorry darling! Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles it's so disheartening isn't it, which number cycle is this for you? Xxxx

@Angelselevenx we tried for 6 months without tracking and this is the 2nd month tracking. We did SMEP too. So disappointed! Xxx

@Ttcdcno1 I know its shameful how much I spend on it all! I was really hoping I wasnt going to have to restock this month, everything ran out at the same time! πŸ™„

@Floralsandsmiles ah sorry I thought you were a few days further ahead... still in with a chance then, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Im fine just bored waiting. We are having our garden landscaped at the moment and its currently in the horrible stage of just looking like a building site and the price keeps increasing so its a bit stressful but keeping me occupied while I wait for sex week!
Annoyingly I am going to be at a hen do on O day this month so Im praying it will be one day earlier or we are going to have to have some very early morning sex that day (DD wakes up at 6!)

Aww not a big chance @TunnocksTCake ! I've been spotting for a few days as my normal the last 3 months, so I'm out.. πŸ˜”
Aww hun! I have my fingers crossed for you that you O a day earlier! Xxx

DHB · 11/04/2023 11:51

@TunnocksTCake Thank you πŸ’— AF buggered off last night so I have started OPKs from today! There is a faint line but that still means negative anyway, so I will continue once a day for now and see when it starts to get darker 🀞🏼

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great Easter!
@Floralsandsmiles sorry you have been caught by Af, I hope youre feeling ok?

@Angelselevenx I have never had that but I tend to ovulate around CD17. I guess go for it but keep doing OPKs in case its a false alarm? I had 2 surges last month after my chemical but only one temp rise.

@Mushroo hmm, could either be you didnt ovulate, and your body might try again, OR you may see a BBT rise tomorrow, sometimes you get a dip before the true rise and looks like you started to rise but then had a big dip today so I would say keep temping and you will likely see it go back up tomorrow. If not keep opking,but hopefully thats it! Have you been temping for long?

Welcome @DHB sorry about your MC, I hope you are more lucky this month!
@emmatcc1 sorry youre havign a tough time, it is so soul destroying but maybe as others have said if you are regular and can take some pressure off that may be worth doing.

For those asking about testing I did a medichecks at home hormone test which tested thyroid, AMH and all sorts and I found it really put my mind to rest. It as fairly cheap too and you can pay estra for someone to do your bloods for you rather than the finger prick.

No news here, just coming to the end of AF so in the boring stage of waiting....! CD6 so a few days to go before we start DTD EOD. I have been using CB OPKs but think I will stick with cheapies this month as they were actually more accurate for me I think. Need to restock actually!

Hi @TunnocksTCake πŸ‘‹how are you?
Yes spotting now and just waiting for AF to hurry up. I took a test just to rule out this morning and it was stark white (11DPO) xxx

emmatcc1 · 11/04/2023 11:12

cd1 just started good thing is I'm most likely ovulating during the weekend so more time to dtd as we won't be so tired.

Angelselevenx · 11/04/2023 10:57

@TunnocksTCake yes definitely! I didn't have a temp drop or rise and it's pretty stable at the moment but thought I'd DTD just incase 🀣 hoping my cycles aren't too messed up as 21 days for O day is long enough already haha

Ttcdcno1 · 11/04/2023 10:46

@Mushroo πŸ˜‚I know right!

Mushroo · 11/04/2023 10:40

Thanks @TunnocksTCake - my chart is looking a lot happier today so think I ovulated on Sunday. Settling in for the wait!

I’ve done everything possible this cycle so hoping for the best!

Good luck over the next few days!

@Ttcdcno1 i know, between tests and vitamins I feel like a pharmacy πŸ˜‚

Ttcdcno1 · 11/04/2023 10:34

@TunnocksTCake the good people of mumsnet keeping these companies alive with all the different tests we buy πŸ™ˆ

@feliciacat tagging you on here as I seen you were looking for a May thread but there's this one for all 2024 babies xx

Daniki · 10/04/2023 10:23

@Angelselevenx when I was first trying to conceive I didn't track ovulation always went by the Flo app and then after about 10 months I started tracking and discovered I ovulated early and got pregnant then either the first or second cycle after! But I'd say it's changed since the miscarriages, same as yourself it just be's all over the place!

emmatcc1 · 10/04/2023 10:14

@Daniki No my cycles go from 24-29 days and it almost always happens that I ovulate during weekdays so we can't go anywhere as he has a high position at his job and needs to be there.

Mushroo · 10/04/2023 10:07

Morning all! I had a really obvious peak on Friday 15th so DTD fri, sat and yesterday.

However, I’ve not had an obvious BBT rise. My RHR has increased on my Fitbit, but OPK is just a bit flat.

Has anyone had this? I can’t decide if BBT isn’t for me or whether I geared up to ovulate but didn’t.
