Anyone TTC from Jan 2024?

Thank you @StampOnTheGround
I am finding it very difficult getting through the first few weeks. I am worrying about miscarriage risk and my first scan. I found out 11 days ago now and still have almost 2 weeks to wait where I'll be almost 7 weeks. It's so difficult

Ahhh that's amazing @CosmoMango - replied at the same time as you! Congratulations to you too!!!

Thanks @Timeforacutie all going well so far 🤞🏻 15 weeks tomorrow and will go for a private sex scan in the next week or two I think!

Ahhh Congratulations @Timeforacutie - so pleased for you, it's crazy how life works isn't it and it hammers home it really just needs one time - you just happened to do the perfect time!! Fingers crossed for a smooth 9 months for you.

Keeping everything crossed for you @skyerojo @CosmoMango your times will come soon, sending positivity your way! Hope you're both doing well x

@Timeforacutie Congrats! I got my positive 10 days ago and I'm almost 5 weeks :) praying a baby sticks

And @StampOnTheGround hope your scans are going well! How exciting !

Hi @skyerojo @StampOnTheGround @CosmoMango

Cosmo Mango - I take pregnacare preconception vitamins and they did make my cycle change.

After feeling very sad in August, and basically giving up and not trying much in September - we had sex once in the fertile window only and only because we felt like it , and

I got a positive pregnancy test on Monday !! I’m 5 weeks and 2 days !!

Im so over the moon 🥹

I was so anxious and scared to test after so many months of trying and giving it my all so I waited until my period was 4 days late 17 DPO before testing and wallah - I even got my husband to check because I preferred him to find out and tell me it was negative than me to see the negative test.

but here we are :)

in the meantime I’m still getting my thyroid investigated and they may put me on medication, we will see.

trying to keep on this journey of being chill 😎

thinking of both of you TTC and sending best wishes your way :)

I agree @skyerojo if I just knew it would happen I’d feel better. It was rough having a birthday yesterday I felt quite sad and the holiday requests for Christmas will come out soon. I’ll get the worst days as I don’t have kids. I really hoped we’d be able to tell family this Christmas but looking very unlikely we will even be pregnant by Christmas now. Even then it will be Easter before we can see them again. Really praying I either did ovulate or i am going to. We’ve agreed to DTD every day until AF comes just so we don’t miss the vital time. Currently DTD 10 days in a row.

Feeling very down about it all. How are you feeling today?

My cycles were regular and then I started pregnacare and it seems to have messed them up! Usually 31 days and ovulation CD 17-19 but no signs this month. Seems like it’s a common issue. Going to ditch them and just take folic acid and vit D

Yes it does seem to be easily for a lot of people. My sister got pregnant first try at 32 and here I am turning 26 and it feels like just a struggle.

Forgot to add CD19 today

Hi @skyerojo can I join you?
I’m 26 (tomorrow) and husband is 25. We’ve been trying since May but no success yet. We’ve added in pregnacare and fertility friendly lube this month and I took a break from OPK and just DTD every day/ every other day. Not convinced I’ve ovulated and feeling really down about it all. There are pregnancy announcements left right and centre on my social media

Hi @StampOnTheGround glad your pregnancy is progressing smoothly, I hope you have an uneventful few months :)

TTC took a big backseat for me this month as I start investigating our “sub fertility”. Pre referral fertility blood tests indicated I might have a thyroid issue so I’m waiting to retest to confirm this, in the mean time we have been referred to the fertility clinic with the NHS. I think once I knew it might be years instead of months before I get pregnant then it kind of changed the game for me - not completely in a bad way.

How are you @skyerojo ?

Sorry just seen this, I didn't have any symptoms before my positive test and nothing really till 6 weeks I'd say.

All is good with me thank you, I had my 12 week scan yesterday and all is looking good - due date 31st March! 😊

Hi @skyerojo @Timeforacutie - hope you're both okay, how are you getting on?

Hi @skyerojo , sorry to hear that.

Think I’m here with you in the same boat. 13DPO and started spotting and my temp is dropping.

This is cycle 8, month 10.

Allowing myself some time to feel sad 🩵

@skyerojo @Timeforacutie - sending you both so much luck!!!

I was naughty and tested a little early and it was negative, a few days later (must have been a longer cycle) and I was positive - so fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Hi @skyerojo ! 9DPO, haven’t tested yet, trying not to. My app says to test a week today so it’ll either be AF coming for me or that test, here’s hoping we will both get a chance to test :)

Thinking of you too, what day are you on?

loving this summer ☀️

Hi @skyerojo , I’m 7DPO now so starting to get itchy feet and ignoring thoughts about taking tests 😂

If we are unsuccessful this time then I will go ahead with pre-evaluation fertility tests from our GP. My partner’s already done his semen analysis and it came back all clear, I need to wait until day 2-5 of my cycle to do my blood tests. So let’s see . Either way there is a plan :) and it’s out of my control, I’ve done everything I can so can just chill I suppose!

haha im trying to finish my dissertation that’s due on 2nd September, I’m currently 7 and a half thousand words down out of 14k. So lots to keep me busy. How about you?
