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!

@LetsGo36 I don't think it necessarily means I'm pregnant but I'm finding it quite frustrating that it seems to be following the exact same pattern and yet there is no way for me to know until AF is due on Thursday. It's like it's mocking me πŸ˜…

LetsGo36 · 11/09/2023 13:30

@Annie1295 sorry I don’t know much about BBT so I can’t really help :( all sounds so confusing x

LetsGo36 · 11/09/2023 09:48

@Rebeccaemily93 it’s such an anxious time. Yes I showed my partner and he was happy thinking I was pregnant…I said maybe evap line…trying to not get excited. Fingers crossed for you x

Rebeccaemily93 · 11/09/2023 09:35

Mine came at around 10 mins also - I definitely get line eyes and squint at everything haha!
I’m just going to keep taking tests until either AF comes or I feel 100% sure because at the moment I’m not believing it and keep saying to my OH that it’s evap lines!!πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

LetsGo36 · 11/09/2023 09:28

@Rebeccaemily93 how quickly did the lines appear?

im having the same dilemma did a test this morning I’ve got 3 days until AF due. And I thought I saw a really faint line but also aware I may have β€œline eyes” from really wanting to see one. Went downstairs made a cuppa came back upstairs 10 mins or so later and this is what it looked like…Evap or positive?

I’m due on my period tomorrow, I did early clearblue tests over the weekend and got these - are they evap lines or positives? I’ve read everything and my brain is now fried! Please help 🀣🀣

My BBT chart is starting to really mess with my head. It seems to be identical to the month I got pregnant down to which days I've slept differently and even on those days the temps are virtually the same (34.43 Vs 34.42). I know that it probably doesn't mean anything as bbt can be a bit random but what are the chance of the pattern being completely identical?

Hello. πŸ‘‹ Room for one more?

We’re getting ready to restart TTC after a break due to illness (thankfully all looking OK!) and still aiming for 2024!🀞

Annie1295 · 06/09/2023 14:34

@Daniki I'm tempted to stop as every month I read into the temperatures way too much πŸ˜… DH is quite keen on it though as it helps narrow down fertile window

Daniki · 06/09/2023 14:24

@Annie1295 I never temped, I find it all so confusing! But hopefully that's a great sign πŸ™Œ

Annie1295 · 06/09/2023 13:25

Pictures from today and last pregnancy for comparison

5dpo and trying not to get my hopes up too much. Had a bbt dip this morning which I had on the exact same dpo last time I was pregnant so hoping it could be an implantation dip but there are probably a million other reasons and it's just a coincidence

Daniki · 06/09/2023 13:08

@Annie1295 it's so confusing! How are you getting on?

Annie1295 · 06/09/2023 13:03

@Daniki oh no sorry it's been confusing! Hopefully AF doesn't come and your test turns positive

Daniki · 06/09/2023 11:14

AF 2 days late, but spotting a lot since Monday (I always spot before AF but I'm never late, sometimes early) and BFN πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I know it's the spotting I get before AF but confused as to why it's late. Typically it's the one cycle I didn't track my ovulation πŸ˜‚

Annie1295 · 06/09/2023 10:29

How's everyone getting on?

Annie1295 · 04/09/2023 10:27

Probably a stupid question but does anyone know if your post ovulation bbt jump is higher if the egg is fertilised? I'm 3dpo and the jump this cycle has been higher than it usually is (usually it jumps to about 36.4 from 36.1 and this time it's gone up to 36.57)

Probably just TWW delusions but I was wondering if that could be a positive sign

Daniki · 03/09/2023 20:11

@wishingforbaby2 I'd go for it! Prob means you'll ovulate tomorrow or the following day so I'd maybe do it tonight leave tomorrow and go the following night?

wishingforbaby2 · 03/09/2023 19:59

Hi everyone, new to this thread but wondering if I can have some advice.

I have relatively regular periods (cycles are between 26 and 29 days and have been for a while). Struggling to conceive no2 for 4 mo already and I feel incredibly deflated. DH has low motility and low morphology (but for both, only just, it's borderline). His sperm count is fine.

We've been DTD every other day since my period finished (so CD6,8,10) . I'm CD11 and Opk aren't particularly dark (it's on 0.26 today and usually my peak is around 0.8-1) but I when I went to the loo earlier and as I wiped I noticed that I have CM like egg whites... should we DTD again tonight or wait until tomorrow as originally planned?

Annie1295 · 03/09/2023 14:11

@Babyhopeful23 I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully it'll work out for you soon! Maybe taking a more gentle approach will work

Babyhopeful23 · 03/09/2023 13:45

@Annie1295 i hope it’s your month, sounds like you both gave it your best.
I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to test and have had a negative test 10DPO. It’s probably the most negative test I’ve ever seen. I’ve zero symptoms and know this has been another unsuccessful month.

Annie1295 · 03/09/2023 13:36

Ovulation confirmed on Friday. We DTD -1dpo, -2dpo, -3do and -5dpo so hopefully still in with a chance even though we didn't manage to do full SMEP. Now just counting down the days for the TWW 😫

Annie1295 · 02/09/2023 16:04

@Babyhopeful23 yeah it's a lot. Will see if we need to still do it next cycle but really not sure about it

Babyhopeful23 · 01/09/2023 21:13

@Annie1295 It’s not easy and for us personally it’s too scheduled. We will be giving it a miss next month and try a gentler approach.

Annie1295 · 01/09/2023 21:10

@Babyhopeful23 it ended up being four days in a row for us because my OPK was positive on CD13 and I only got home at midnight last night. We managed to still do it then but I think all of it just got a bit too much. We'll do tomorrow for good measure but then don't think we'll bother on Sunday
