TTC October 2023

@Sleepysheepish I can 100% see it in the 2nd photo and it has some colour in it! Did you do it this evening? Defo redo tomorrow with first wee! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@bumptobean ask and ye shall receive! Honestly it’s so hard to see, I was squinting and tilting in the sun and it’s definitely there….but is it actually a positive? 🫣

@Sleepysheepish show us!! It’s rude not to 😉

Show us!!! It’s rude not to 😉

Guys I think maaaayyybbbeee I have a squinter at 10dpo? Could be an indent……

Currently TTC baby no2..... been trying for
3 months.
Have started with some light spotting and cramps last night but currently in the TWW!
The clearblue calculator says the earliest day to test is tomorrow......caved in and tested a few days ago (which I know was mega early) and got a BFN so not holding out much hope!
Good luck everyone ❤️

I'm finding it really interesting how different all of our journeys are. From medication to irregular cycles to short cycles and long! But we all want the same goal. Thank goodness we have each other and aren't alone!

I really feel like AF is coming any day. I'm not due for another 7 days give or take a day but I feel it! I'm at a wedding this weekend too so hopefully she stays away til after that. Think I'll just have a few drinks and try to forget about TTC for the weekend!

@Aaj04 I really like fertility friend for tracking

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine
1500mg is a very high dose!! No wonder you felt sick. Maybe you should get a second opinion on the dose? When I told my Dr it was making me sick she told me I can do 500mg instead of 750mg.

Yep that's what I thought, same here. They have to do a follicular study to make sure we ovulate properly and that the follicle doesn't turn into a cyst.
I'm only on cd8. I have a scan this weekend and then probably every other day until ovulation.
I despise the transvaginal ones. 😭 waiting to go from that scan to regular ultrasounds.

@justkeepswimming2701
The timelines probably change as we get older! I wish you the best of luck!
Well, I'll definitely give you company on the crazy part. 😄
I'm telling myself that unless it's a really dark pink line, it's just not positive.

I’m on 6dpo. I’m feeling stressed it won’t work cause I want to switch jobs, but I’m waiting to get mat leave. It’s so unfair that for women who want children you either have to stay in the same firm for years, or lose out on substantial maternity benefits.

@ceruleansky trying for my second. It took 6 months with my first, and I naively thought it would’ve happened by now (we’ve had such good timing each month). Imagining the lines doesn’t help 😂 love to say I’ve learnt my lesson for next month, but as soon as I get to 10dpo, I seem to turn into a crazy lady with no willpower!

@ceruleansky i was prescribed 750mg to start and I did okay with that for a week although didn’t feel brilliant. Then went up to two tablets a day (so 1500mg total) and didn’t stick it for more that another week or so - I constantly felt nauseous and I couldn’t get any work done. My consultant more or less told me to suck it up but I didn’t…. Feel a bit feeble now and will try again this month - maybe just as the lower dose on the basis that some is better than none!! Really well done to you on sticking it out.

I had one scan done and a count of my follicles (there were tonnes which I think is common with PCOS) and then after I started taking the Clomid, they scanned me at about days 8, 10 and 12 to check on the progress of follicle growth. Will look forward to doing that all over again in a couple of weeks time (not). Who doesn’t love a trans vaginal scan eh?

crossing my fingers and toes that this is your month. Remind me where you are in the TWW?

How is everyone feeling? I feel so deflated, I ordered so many IC and can't help myself but to test myself and keep getting negatives. I annoy myself 😂😂😂
I need someone to come to my house and take them all from me please 😂
13dpo today and bfn after bfn and I was so convinced I was pregnant this month

The joys of ttc..

Thank you so much

@justkeepswimming2701
I know that feeling all too well. Last month I had a line that looked like it could be something, but it wasn't. ):
Are you trying for your first?

@Aaj04 I like the Premom one the best.

@wanderlustre sorry to hear that 😞 on to the next cycle. Get some wine and chocolate down you! (If you drink!)

@WishingUponARainbow don't worry, it won't get my hopes us. But thank you for sharing. I am so sorry for the miscarriage.
I guess I'll wait and see. I feel sooo pre menstrual today.

Also, I can't seem to find any FRER tests anywhere!

Think I’m out too this month. Those imaginary lines must have really been imaginary. Tested today at 12dpo on clear blue early detection and it was a stark white BFN (couldn’t even find an imaginary one). Period is due on Sunday and I’m having all the usual on and off cramps. Feeling so deflated to move onto cycle 8.

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine period pants on first then positive pants on after! 😂
Cheers to that big glass of wine at the weekend 🍷

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine
Thank you, I'm just pulling all the stops to avoid an invasive treatment. 🤣
Did they prescribe a higher dose for you at the get go? Mine is 3x500mg a day, but as I said when I started off, it was 1x500mg for 7 days. I think if you slowly build up to it, you might be able to handle it.
Does your Dr do follicle studies on you? Scans to monitor your follicle growth and rupture?

@bumptobean @Sleepysheepish I feel the same, it feels so consuming. I missed my lead up & the thought of having to plan it all again is stressful.

Sorry to hear about the BFNs this morning, you're not out until AF arrives so don't lose hope ❤️

Cheers for tomorrow night 😝🍷

Thank you so much xx

AF has just arrived. A day early. At least that's me put out of my misery.

Wishing you all a bit of better luck than me this month! This plenty of time for some BFPs!
