TTC Sept 2023

been watching silently, congrats on all the bfps, so lovely to see!

5dpo here - where are people getting FRERs from? I can't find a single one in boots or Superdrug!

@MrsHousePlant thank you. I am hopeful but have a feeling it might not be just becuase at the moment our circumstances are not ideal. Each month mever seems to be the right time. And I though AUG/SEPT but then Hubby is adamant he 2anta to travel abroad end of the month and I have said I will not travel abroad while pregnant (personal choice) so things don't seem to be working out, never seems to be the right time even though I want this so much. 😢

@MixedCouple it’s so easy to do! The temptation gets ridiculous even when you know you shouldn’t. Hopefully you’ll see some progression in a few days 🤞🏻

Guys I did a stupid. I am 9DPO and did a HPT this morning. I slept all night no middle of the night pees. So very concentrated. Aaaaaand there is the slightest line that is BARELY visible can't be picked up on my old phones camera. But it is there and now I know why they say not to test before AF ia due now I am second guessing and torturing myself.
I had spotting yesterday midday CM with slight streaks within it and only on paper and nothing since. All I have had since is pelvis pain and lower back aches just extreme fatigue.

Feel super annoyed I caved. I purchased 25 strips for £4 on eBay so that is why I just used them. Got loads! But oh I wish I hadn't.
I showed my hubby right away and he can see a faint "shadow". But didn't care and just said wait until AF is due that is 4/5days away!!!!!!

I got my BFFP with DS at 12DPO and told myself I would wait each month. But nope. I am stupid. Ughhhhhhhhhhh

@FigandHoney I agree postpartum my Libido os very high in my fertile week but is low after ovulation and have 0 interest. Pre baby my Libido was high all month even during my period!
My LO is fully weaned so that is no longer a factor

@ReginaPhalange12 trying to hold out until Tuesday morning when AF is due if I can. That will also make me 12DPO so more of a chance of an actual result.

I have a cupboard full of tests that I’m trying to ignore because it’s an expensive habit to waste them too early 😂

Congratulations to everyone with their BFPs! This seems to be a lucky thread!

@MrsHousePlant I have a slightly shorter LP too although these past 2 cycles it's extended by a day or two. When will you test?

@Confusedddddddd I hope the heat is a good sign for me then 🤞🏽 I used to ovulate on CD 14 but it's around CD12 now so hoping it's soon... then I get to enjoy the longest 2 weeks ever 😂

Congratulations to those who have had their BFPs already this month ✨

Possibly might have ovulatrd yesterday. I sometimes get ovulation cramping. And I was cramping yesterday. Baby danced the night before.
Decided to use the Ava bracelet I got previously out of desperation. This says I am currently in my period of high fertility.
Husband wanted to get it on last night but played on the PC until 11pm. And I was too tired at that point.
Ans today its bloody boiling I'm our house, so unlikely he will be into it.
Ah well. We are only at the start. And we said we wouldn't put pressure on it this time.
Ever since we had my son my libido has been much lower anyway. I don't know if it was all the stress of trying beforehand, the disastrous birth or smthg hormonal. Anyone else experience this?

Congratulations @Reya1603 !

@Twinkles18 Congratulations!! Wishing you an uneventful and happy 9 months!
@Tartanhaggis Yes. I can see a faint line. Definitely think this could be it for you!

Thankyou 🥰. It's so helpful talking and reading on here. Couldn't get a Dr apt untill Thursday.

@Reya1603 and @Twinkles18 congrats ladies

@Reya1603 it is normal to get LH surges on your TWW hence why Drs will say once your got the first sirgw to atop teating. So you probably ovukated very early this month and you jad the days all covered.
I got a Massive LH surge 3 days before my period last month it came up before the control line and was much darker

Hi guys. Extremely happy but very confused. Got positive tests thismorning 🥰 but I was tracking my ovulation and according to that only ovulated 3 days ago 🤷‍♀️. Also the Clearblue digital says 2-3 weeks. Had a negative test a little over a week ago. Does this seem strange??

@twinkles18 congratulations to you!
sorry I hadn't scrolled yet that was going to be my bedtime reading lol

@Twinkles18 congratulations!

Thankyou 😊

@Tartanhaggis i can see a faint line too! Fingers crossed you get some progression over the next few days 🥰

Thanks for your reply yes I'm going to do another test in two days and see if anything comes of it. Fingers crossed🤞. Good luck to everyone trying and congrats to those with bfp's 🥰

@Tartanhaggis I see a faint line. Hopefully if you do another tomorrow/in a couple of days it'll be darker.

Hello thought I would jump on the bus since we are in with a decent chance this month for once (good timing etc lol). Can anyone see anything ? Might just be my wishful eyes. we've been trying for a whole year and a half and had a chemical/ early loss last year however my partner thinks he can see something too this time (usually he doesn't see anything ) I am either 8/9 dpo. Bit early for anything showing up however I'm not 100% on my ovulation date as I'm only going by my app.

@ReginaPhalange12 you're my cycle day twin!
The two times I've conceived have been when there's been a heatwave so I have high hopes.

However I also have a nasty cold so haven't bd since Sunday. I usually do ovulate on cd 15 though so only just entered fertile week.

Congrats @Twinkles18 !!! Happy and Health 9 months.

Not sure how to feel at the moment I am 8/9 DPO and just had some CM with Spotting and been having twinges and sciatica like back pain last night and achey back today all day. Extremely exhausted. Don't usualpy have any symptoms like this for PMS. I had sciatica pain with LO at 7DPO.

Trying not to get my hopes up feeling very anxious. I dont normally spot before a period only day before or days off but not 5days before or more. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

AF due tomorrow and iv had random light spotting the past 2 days..took a notion to do a cheapie test again and theres a VVFL! Can’t believe it 🥰 nervous/anxious after MC in May but trying to muster up all the positive vibes ✨ think I’m 11DPO today

Brilliant to see bfp’s already, happy and healthy 9 month to you guys,
I’m either 1 or 2 dpo today, cannot figure out how to calculate from smiley clearblue 🙈
don’t think I’m in with a huge chance this month as did not bd on O day just before and after, but we shall see,
anyone else similar dates wise?

@ReginaPhalange12 I’m 8DPO today. AF due on Tuesday, I have a slightly short luteal phase so we shall see what happens this month. I can’t say I have any real symptoms at all either way. Going to try and hold out on early testing!

Fingers crossed for you, didn’t even consider the pressure of trying to BD in the fertile window while it’s 30 degrees 😂
