TTC October 2023

Hi everyone-
I am joining this thread and currently 4DPO.
Had a miscarriage last month very very early on. Been doing Ovulation tests and i did ovulate this month which is positive.

Holding out for as long as possible to do a test, and deffo imagining symptoms whilst in the TWW.

Positive vibes to you all :)

Today is cycle day 34 and no sign of ovulation on the tests this month 😪

AF arrived today so I’m out

Definitely see a faint line! Congratulations. Very exciting

@Chocolatehobnobs2948 how exciting! I see a faint line too!!! 🥰

@dg3131 I ovulated on 11th so it's now 11 days after...not sure if you should count the day you ovulate too.

@Chocolatehobnobs2948 I definitely see a line! Do you know how many DPO you are? Hopefully will get darker when you next test 🤞🏼

Hello everyone, 3rd cycle trying for our 2nd.
I'm in the dreaded TWW and have done an early pregnancy test (period due 26th). Earlier I thought I could see a faint line but now think it could just be an evap line. But, I didn't even have that in previous months, so who knows! Won't be able to get to a pharmacy tomorrow for more tests so have to wait til Tuesday to test again and feel so impatient. Attaching pic. Any thoughts?

Another close friend announced they're pregnant today. Baby number 2 conceived on cycle 2 (baby 1 took 3 months). They did tell us very sensitively which I really appreciated and obviously I'm really happy for them. But I'm just so pissed off and over it all now.

@CalmS43 fellow Aussie here!! I’m sorry you’re having a rough time, I hope this is your month 😇

Hi everyone,

Joining this thread! I am sending out good vibes to all those still in the wait window.

I am currently 7DPO. Of course I've already done a test this morning which we all know is way too early 😂and was negative.

I've only been TTC for 3 months (this one is the third cycle TTC)

The 1st cycle - I got 2 lines on many FRER but AF turned up on time (chemical pregnancy?)

The 2nd cycle (one just passed) - I got a digital positive which ended up in a very early miscarriage at 6 weeks.

Naturally, lots of thoughts about something wrong here (My GP in Australia won't do any fertility testing until 2 or 3 miscarriages and doesn't count the chemical pregnancy as a miscarriage)

BUT also know that it's very normal and keeping an open and positive mindset for successful conception soon.

Goodluck to all those still waiting :) xx

@MissSB18 the positive OPK looks good! I would dtd again today and tomorrow if you can🤞

@MissSB18 no problem at all! Good luck with your baby journey!
I'm doing good thanks, each time my period arrives I feel deflated this is cycle 4 of TTC but each time my period has ended and I approach ovulation I start to feel a bit more positive again! I'm on cycle day 13 today 😊

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind me joining. How are you all doing?

I'm TTC baby#3 . I have a 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son. Unfortunately I had a miscarraige at 11w 4days back in July (sadly after we'd had a scan at 10weeks and seen a heartbeat). We were obviously gutted. Not hopeful for a BFP this month, but I have 5 days to go until I found out either way!

I am exhausted beyond belief though!!

@KM8 thank you so much for looking ❤️ how are you doing? X

@MissSB18 from having a look I'd say you're ovulating today looking at your peak yesterday? Hope I've got it right!
Glad your hubby is home 😉 🥰

Can I ask for your help with my OPK chart ladies? I don't think I've ever had a fully positive OPK in 1 year 😅 but do you think I ovulate today? Boobs hurt & have EWCM which I usually get but I'm just hoping my tests look good 🙏 fella got back last night so we have already DTD twice 🤣

AF arrived so I'll be on the November pag,e, best of luck to all

@dg3131 tww is so difficult isnt it! Literally drives almost everyone insane! I plan on testing on Thursday if no signs of AF

@MrsL2019 yes it sounds like it could be! Fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 I feel like time just stands still during these few days, I'll do another in the morning.

@dg3131 dont let it dishearten you 8dpo is too early to show on a test for 99% of people. I had some brown bleeding last night before bed at 7dpo, hoping its implantation bleeding. I had implantation bleeding when i was pregnant with my girl but that was at 10dpo

Hi everyone,

Gosh this journey really is consuming isn't it. I'm 7dpo and been fine up until now when I've started cramping with sore boobs now my brains going into overdrive thinking is it isn't it.

We did have some good news this week as we have received our first appointment for a referral to an NHS fertility clinic (we already had tests privately) so hoping we can get some support soon.

Fingers crossed for everyone this month! 🤞

@MrsL2019 caved and did a test this morning. BFN 😭 but only 8dpo so still holding out hope

AF does like to tease us when we’re down ! 😣thinking of you all

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine so nice to hear from you! Still spotting but no sign of AF in full glory.. just annoying now 🤣🤣
