June 2023 TTC Thread

Thanks @Hankthehonk when did you start getting + on the standards in those pregnancies?

@AnonyHB Yes when I've had early positives on frer with two pregnancies, cheap tests have come up negative at 9 dpo or 10 dpo

I had my first smear today and the nurse said my cervix is very far back and had to get a longer speculum, so I am hoping that it is a good sign at 5dpo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Has anyone else tested at 9/10 DPO with standard test and got negative but positive with a FRER?

🤣 the temptation is always so strong. TWW seems the longest period ever

Hey ✨ im new here hope it's okay to join!
We're TTC baby 1, I know I have a blocked tube so could be harder for us!
I am 5DPO on month 2 of TTC confirmed by ovulation tests 😀
Really trying to hold out and not early test and wait for a missed period!
What's the earliest anyone has felt any symptoms?

Thanks @Favofit. I obviously caved and POAS. It was obviously a BFN! 😂Still a few days until AF is due so will wait and see. Hope everyone else doing well x

Fingers crossed and hope you feel better soon ❤️

10dpo today for me. I had what I thought was some cramping yesterday and thought maybe that's a sign. Turns out think it was start of stomach bug, I was up being sick in the night and still in bed with DP looking after DS downstairs. Decided not to test as I've missed fmu. I've got some random test called early bird swift I picked up at a pharmacy ages ago so don't think it's as sensitive as a frer. Not sure how it's process a bfn or bfp feeling so rough. Maybe tomorrow ;)

Hi @Laura7899. We are also trying for our first after a MMC in March....3 DPO for me. Wishing you lots of luck

Hi 👋 hope it’s ok to join, I’m 2 DPO and this is our first month trying again after a MMC in March, I’m 32 and we’re trying for our first..fingers crossed for us all

@naggy095 I used pre-seed when I conceived my previous pregnancy (this will be my third and final DC). It worked for me!

For various reasons (mostly medication induced erectile issues) we've ended up attempting sex once this month but abandoning it... instead I've ended up using a syringe and inseminating that way. Feels a bit odd/lacking in intimacy but we're keen to get on with it and minimise age gap (it'll be 2.5 years + depending on when I conceive).

I've previously used Femometer and Fertility Friend. Of the two, I trust Fertility Friend more. Femometer seems to be all over the place, whereas Fertility Friend successfully indicates ovulation. When I conceived my second child, Femometer seemed to think I hadn't ovulated whereas Fertility Friend did (and was clearly correct)! I no longer use the Femometer app, but I do use their LH tests.

Do you track BBT as well as LH?

@Poppins2016 hey! I had no EWCM this cycle either so I used pre seed, hoping it's helped 😬

I've been pretty much quiet on this thread as I've been away for a while with no reception but I'm back home now and currently 4 or 5 dpo. I'm CD18 got my opk peak morning of CD13 and it was low again by the afternoon so Femometer says I ovulated that day but fertility friend says I ovulated CD14. Been having lots of sharp twinges and cramps today and extra tired 😅

So glad I've found this thread, could do with some solidarity! I'm currently 1 DPO, so it's going to be a long wait...

I'm slightly concerned that I didn't have any EWCM this month (just the watery/slippery mucus) and my LH tests were high but I didn't get a true peak (I'm hopeful that it's because I missed the peak when testing). BBT plus other symptoms suggest ovulation occurred, so... 🤔

Thank you!
ive got 3 other children haha I should know this.

but my pregnancies are high risk so I book with a midwife at 6 weeks x

@Ns1241 sorry I'm an idiot, ignore me. Got excited for you and misread that as last period 29 May. You're 3 and a half weeks, will be 4 on 20th June!

@Ns1241 3 weeks tomorrow I think!!

Is it 3 weeks?

Ladies
sorry I’m about to sound really stupid here
can anyone help with how far along I am?

last period was 23/05/2023
my cycle is 29/30 days x

@Kat7542 I've done the same all month 😂 literally been googling constantly thinking there was something wrong with me

@Ns1241 I'm 10dpo today, hoping the line will get darker in the next couple of days. When we were trying with DD I had faint lines one cycle that then went negative and then AF came so hoping we don't have the same this time. Congratulations on your BFP 😍

@Pandabumbles ooh yes let us know tomorrow! Will cross my fingers for you! 🤞I've had hardly any symptoms so you never know. The only thing I had yesterday was the tiniest bit of really light cramping like could hardly notice it really for a couple of hours and I'm a total bloater this last week 😂

@Hankthehonk @Silverpixieflorence @PineappleK thank you so much ladies!! Quick to wrongly diagnose myself with infertility there 😂

@Kat7542 mine looked the same as yours it was only for one day!

@MLN89 welcome and congratulations on your wedding 🥳

@SimplyChic maybe there's something going round, I got really cross making the spare bed on Friday evening 😂

DH just said I had a mental breakdown over nothing (I felt stressed about finding some of his important documents and cried about it) he now asked me to do a test but I'm only 4dpo 😂😂
