TTC August 2023

@theodora2146 Aww congrats! I drank a lot the week before I found out I was having my son and he's turned out fine so I wouldn't worry about it :)

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well!

So my cycle messed up this month so I assumed I was out. I've just got back off holiday and haven't been feeling quite right so I took a test and got a BFP 😮 which I was not expecting!

I'm now worried because I've been on holiday and drunk lots of wine and cocktails 😩 I'm worried it's not gonna stick now!

@TheBirdintheCave I hope so 🤞🏽 it's so strange, I'm usually really regular with ovulating, I get pains too but nothing so far

@MrsHousePlant I use both! Strip tests from cd7 twice a day and CB Digi from cd9 because I ovulate all over the place anywhere from cd13 to CD18!

@MrsHousePlant ive always used the strip tests and never had any bother with them, good luck!!

Thank you! Sending all the luck to you too (and everyone else on this journey).

I’ve started spotting today so hopefully AF tomorrow and back to CD1 so we can go again. I can’t believe this is now something to celebrate 😂

Going to properly track ovulation this month, do people recommend the CB test with the smiley face or the smaller strips?

Oh no! We completely missed it last month as I must have ovulated a good week earlier as I never got a positive ovulation test around when I’d normally ovulate. I still dont get what happened.. is it possible to have different cycles depending on the ovary?

but…. We did get pregnant last time only doing it the once! I was away and we did it that night with success!

@ReginaPhalange12 Oh I hate when that happens :( Hopefully that once was enough!

Thank you @HopefullMumto4

I appear to be ovulating 3 days early 😩 we've only DTD once because I thought we had more time

Oh how exciting would that be! Good luck 🍀🍀

Apparently the boots own brand pink dye tests are really good! I haven't tried them yet though.

Accidentally joining! Planned to start ttc in November after our wedding and had a joint moment of madness/enthusiasm and decided to give it a try on ovulation day as we can still clear 12 weeks till our wedding day…!

Now both excited and also slightly terrified that it will have happened first go and I might have morning sickness on my wedding day.

It’s only been a few days and I’m already convinced I feel sick and my normally poor sense of smell is suddenly phenomenally good hahaha.

Hi guys! I'm back after having my little
Lady who's now 2 and a half!! I used
To love my ttc & babies due jan 2021 thread! So please May I join as we're month one of ttc!

@TheBirdintheCave thank you, I hadn't realised, I thought they were supposed to be one of the most reliable ones around.

@Peony2021 thank you. Hoping you get your BFP over the next few days.

I'm sure I can see a little something there too 🫣

Will you test again tomorrow or wait a few days now?

@HopefullMumto4 sorry I force myself to Chuck them in the bin so I don't spend hours staring at them all day long convincing myself the dried in line was there at 3 minutes lol. I just did a PM one there but I don't see anything this time 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ReginaPhalange12 I get them off Amazon, they were out of stock for ages (I think because of so many complaints about their indents) but I can get next day delivery in UK of them no problem.

Hi everyone, I joined this last time we were trying and we were successful on our 3rd cycle but here I am 5 cycles in and still struggling with conceiving our 2nd. I’m still breastfeeding my 28mo and have had recurring thrush so think these could be causing a problem but am doing what I can to deal with them and I’m hopeful every month! Currently 6DPO and patiently waiting! Good luck everyone

@ReginaPhalange12 FRERs are discontinued in the UK unfortunately, hence their rarity now.

That's exciting @Peony2021 fingers crossed it was a line. Where did you get the FRER from? I'm having so much trouble finding any.

CD11 for me, my peak is usually CD14 with a 24 day cycle so a short - ish LP, tested with an OPK a couple of hours ago and it's quite dark although not peak, I'm hoping I don't get my peak for a few days because I'm going away for a few days this evening and will be sharing a room with DC 🤷🏽‍♀️

Show us! Show us!

Hey all, hope everyone hanging in there ok.

8DPO today, and I'm a serial tester so tested this morning. Could convince myself I see something but fairly certain it's just an indent. Going to use a FRER tomorrow if it arrives on time lol.

CD 27 today. I have an average cycle length of 25 days. Got annoyed yesterday afternoon and tested but BFN on a boots test, not even a hint of a line. Have never wished AF to arrive so much so that I can move on with the next month of trying.

My luteal phase was also only 10/11 days but I conceived my first quite quickly and it was a perfectly normal pregnancy :)

Exactly the same cycle 3 ttc 2. So sorry about your chemical. Hoping this next cycle is the one for you!
