RESTART TTC DECEMBER CLUB

Anyong got any ideas on this - digital says not fertile but the strip test is so dark 🤔i had a positive on the digital on 25th

Hi everyone! Cycle day 6! Cycle 23 ttc, hoping december 2023 will be lucky for me lol

Sorry to hear that @pontipinemum and @Pupsandturtles hope you're both doing okay xx

@wanderlustre thanks, TBH it hit me harder than some of my MCs that were further along. I just really thought it was all going to be fine. DH didn't really want to TTC again this month he said 'lets just wing it' but I did OPKs anyway. But I think I will try and reign my excitement in a bit until I see that little heartbeat

@pontipinemum @Wonderpants3 feel for you, I also had a chemical last month so was hoping this month would be more fertile- however I had norovirus (!!!) on my ovulation days, so didn’t get to DTD very much (…. For obvious reasons). We missed the days leading up to ovulation as I was so sick, only hit ovulation day which, as far as I understand, isn’t a very fertile day. Generally feeling very down about it & dreading the next 2 weeks!!

@pontipinemum so sorry to hear that! That must have been so hard. Sending lots of love that this month treats you more kindly.

@SlinkMcSlink mine said CD 11 - confirmed with a digital (never tested before) still had some EWCM up to today so unsure if I ovulated 4 days ago or now!! Although the tests went back down to low readings. How would I ever know 😂

Im confused because i should be 4dpo but still got CM which is now white. I dont know if thats normal at this point

@SlinkMcSlink I use easy at home on the premom app, I was getting what looked like positives on CD 16 with my peak on CD17

CD 9. When does everyone start to get positive readings on ovulation sticks? Mine usually day 11-12 and ovulation is around day 14-16.

@pontipinemum so, so sorry to hear about your chemical last month. Positive thoughts for this month x

It really is mind blowing how many chemical pregnancies there are. You just don’t realise unless you’re going through it. The Xmas activities begin and I start thinking when am I supposed to fit in actually dtd? 😆

This literally sounds exactly like me! BFP that ended in bleeding at 5 weeks and a really high peak. My peak last month was CD24 but 22 this month, I've heard lots of stories about conceiving the month after a CP so fingers crossed & baby dust for us this month, I'm 7DPO today and trying to work out how long I can hold off testing for, luckily this is the busiest time of year for me at work so very occupied!

Hi All!

I had a BFP in the last group but it went at 5 weeks 😫so hoping for something to stick this month.

We DTD leading up to peak day, on peak day and the day but I didn't peak until CD 19.

@Wonderpants3 I have the highest peak I have ever had this month as well. Hopefully it bodes well for us both

Thanks @H938 I think I might also try to get my hands on some digital ones to be sure. I've been quite unwell with food poisoning for the last few days and so we haven't been DTD much, so I'm just keen not to miss my peak!

@Saffie920 mine looked just like that and the app was saying low- I had to change myself on the app. Il put a pic. On that day i done a digital one and got the peak smiley face. I would keep testing but also assume you are going to ovulate pretty soon x

Hey everyone, it's CD9 for me today and I've done my first (ever) opk. It was darker than I was expecting (I normally have roughly 28-30 days cycle to expect I ovulate around CD14 or 15.) the app is marking it as low though. Do you think I am likely to ovulate quite soon or does the darkness of the line not mean much?

@PolkaDotDotjust saw your question on CM - i have literally never noticed mine! I think testing is alot easier to work out when you are actually ovulating. I done it for the first time and i was quite surprised how early I ovulated - also used a digital so fingers crossed that it works!! I also for the first time ever noticed that on the day I think i ovulated i had a little tinge of blood in my CM.

Currently 3dpo (according to my app) and I got a positive ovulation test on 25th and got to be honest i feel absolutely normal - nothing to report lol! Only 9 days to go (app says test on 8th) 😴🫣

@wanderlustre I've been thinking about you, I know you feel about the only one not getting a BFP.

CD8 for me today but I'm still spotting which means I've had spotting or my period every day for a solid two weeks now. Can't be normal

Sorry to hear about your struggles @wanderlustre
I also felt like the only BFN last month ☹️ it's really hard isn't it.
Especially when you literally CANNOT stop thinking about it. I can't imagine what I'd think about if I didn't have this to obsess over. It's exhausting.
I've started trying to have more positive thoughts and block out negative thoughts of not being successful, but imagining it IS possible.
With your IVF input in the new year (although it's later than you hoped), 2024 could be the year for you 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Hey everyone. I'm back. I had to check out of the last thread. Felt like the only person in the world that wasn't getting a BFP, especially after getting particularly shitty news from our fertility follow up.

Our IVF appointment is taking longer to come through than we hoped (they initially said 6 weeks which would be in 2 weeks time but looking like it'll be January at the earliest). Tried to take the pressure off trying to conceive unassisted last month but couldn't stop obsessing still. It's all really starting to get to me and I'm having to start accepting that it may never happen 😔

Currently on CD5 of usually 25 day cycles. Trying to conceive #1. On our 20th cycle now I think it is. Big fat nada so far.

Sorry about your CP @Wonderpants3 ❤️ sending you all the luck for this month! Your OPK lines look great!

Quick Q about CM: if I go by what my
Past few cycles have been like, I'm meant to be ovulating this week but strangely, I'm having little to no CM this cycle so far 🤔 does this mean I'm not anywhere close to ovulating? I probably should just start using the sticks again like I did with my first!

Good luck @Wonderpants3 . I’m hoping the same about bring more fertile.

Sorry to hear that @Wonderpants3 but really hope this month is your month! I don't have personal experience of CP so I'm not sure but your opk lines look promising! I'm only on CD7 today so trying to be patient waiting for ovulation - I'm going to test for ovulation for the first time this month so I might be back soon asking for advice!

Hey everyone! Joining from the October group, got a BFP on CB Digital but turned out to be a CP, only cycle 1 so tried not to beat myself up about it, fell pregnant with DS on cycle 2 about 20 months ago so trying to be positive!

Have read a few places that you can be more fertile after so have jumped straight back in TTC. Had really high OPK readings this month, higher than I’ve ever had before or seen on anyone else! Has anyone else had this after a Chemical? Have attached a pic!

Anyway, 5DPO today and trying not to test too early because of last month but I know I’ll cave! Anyone else in the TWW?
