TTC October 2023

Congrats! X

Hi everyone any thought on this

I'm also ttc. Chemical pregnancy in February this year, nervous for this time around. Ovulated on 30th and did the baby dance with partner, hoping it'll stick. Trying my best not to obsess over it as I don't want to get stressed and it be detrimental!! So hard this 2 week waiting game.

@emmatcc1 good luck! Keep us posted. I also checked my BBT which was high yesterday and today. Xx

@Camzarella congrats!! This gives me hope. I tested yesterday at 10dpo bfn and today I skipped the pregnancy test and did an ovulation test which came back much darker than usually. Hopefully tomorrow I get bfp!

I did a test today at 11dpo. The cheap amazon early one was BFN but then I did a CB early detection and got a BFP! Feeling super nervous so will pray all is well.

Sprinkling baby dust to you all xx

I have caved in and done a test tonight at 8DPO.....negative. 😫 I know it's probably too early to test but feeling deflated already.

@Kirstee123 I can defo see faint lines 😊. 6DPO seems early though. Maybe wait a few days and test again x

2nd one

Not sure if I only upload one photo 🤔

Hi everyone.. Any thoughts on these tests? One this am and the second p.m not sure if I'm just imaging lines. I could only be about 6dpo.. also tested with water and stark white negative so hopefully not just a dodgy batch. Thanks in advance x

I did a clearblue digital (one of the early detection ones) this morning which would be 10dpo. I got a positive result although i am unsure.

I think because my miscarriage was only 6 weeks ago im a little unsure whether this may have picked up hcg from the previous pregnancy as they are obviously more sensitive to lower levels..

I was testing negative on all other pregnancy tests following the miscarriage so hoping that this is a new pregnancy but will test again in a couple of days and see what a 'normal' pregnancy test says before getting too carried away ( who am i kidding i have already checked due dates).

@Wonderpants3 ah congratulations on your BFP!

AF arrived for me so will be joining the November thread 😩

Big congratulations @Wonderpants3!

I am 8 days DPO and caved and did a test, surprisingly a BFN.

I have been having a lot of twinges, and wet CM. I am not due on for another week (I have always had a long cycle). Will try and wait another week before doing a test...famous last words!

So lovely to see you here. Please feel free to pm me on here for more updates from each other (if you wish, will leave that in your court 😊) the threads move so fast and I can't keep up (and don't want to get too consumed this month haha!

We are very close again.

I agree @MrsHousePlant we've been away this weekend and I've had some prosecco. Just a small glass each evening. I'm not a big drinker these days anyway but do like a glass occasionally and don't want to feel like I'm depriving.

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine after making myself teetotal the last couple of TWWs I’ve also enjoyed a couple of glasses this week. I’m trying to have the mantra that I can’t deny myself everything just in case. If it’s going to happen it will. No need to make myself miserable and miss out!

@TTCnewbies I had my surge on Monday so we’re a day apart again. Thinking of you and sending eggy thoughts. I’ve stepped back a bit this month as well after basically going insane last month and spending hours and hours a day googling TTC related nonsense. There were two weeks of the month (no prizes for guessing which two!) where I did almost no work - it was definitely noticed and no one was impressed…. Trying to go with the flow a bit more this time and just about succeeding…

In which vein, I’m having a glass of wine right now @MissSB18 if that makes you feel any better - I went teetotal last month and it made not a bit of difference so I’m letting myself have a glass it I fancy one. Also, if I AM pregnant now, then eggy is still just floating around in my pelvis somewhere so cant see damage I can really do (that’s obviously not science!).

Big congratulations to @Wonderpants3 !! Is that our second or third BFP on the thread? Here’s to many more. clink clink

@TTCnewbies got everything crossed for you, sending baby dust 😊 I really fancy a drink tonight but I'm restraining - terrified I might hinder my chances 🤣 I've had lots of yellow CM the past 2 days after wiping, unsure if this is a sign 🤔 feeling more positive than the past 10 months anyway 🤞

@Wonderpants3 huge congratulations 🥰 amazing news wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months 😘 x

@KM8 I think either 11 or 12, I did a CB Digital yesterday and got BFN but an Easy@Home and the CB Early Detection were both positive so I was sure it was wrong.

Ive had very wet CM for the past few days, so much so I’ve been convinced AF arrived multiple times & my boobs are on FIRE today, other than that I’ve felt completely normal.

sending loads of baby dust ✨

Oh yes! I can see that. How are you getting on?

@Wonderpants3 Congratulations!!!! How many DPO are you? I'm only 5DPO it's the longest wait ever! 😊

Thanks @Roseberry22 got my BFP with FMU on Clearblue digital this morning 💕

Hey all.

I'm TTC number 2. My DS turned 2 this month. This is our 2nd month trying. I'm about 8 dpo. Been feeling lots of cramps since Thursday. With my 1st there were no symptoms until literally the day before I was due on. Trying not to over think but the cramps remind me of how I felt when I was in my 1st trimester.

Last month my breasts were so sore I was convinced I was pregnant but no joy.

Keeping everything crossed.

Can anyone recommend any cheap but reliable tests. I may test early 🙈

Your curves look like mine!

We are similar I think! I had positive ovulation strip on Sunday so I guess I'm about 6 or maybe 5 DPO. Going to try not to obsess this month as I went crazy last month and did 4 tests even though I knew deep down I wasn't pregnant!
Time will tell this month. Knowing me though, I will probably test next weekend!
