RESTART TTC DECEMBER CLUB

Would love to join in! This is technically cycle 2 for me but we didn't manage to DTD on the right days last month due to illnesses. I'm holding off on using ovulation sticks for at least a month or two. I think I'll be going into my fertile window today or tomorrow. Would really love an August baby so keeping everything crossed that this month is our month!

Congrats to all the BFPs so far and baby dust for everyone!

I’m jumping on. AF arrived on Thursday just gone so I’m on CD 4 after having a chemical last week. December has to be the one!

AF arrived yesterday for me so jumping in to say hello 👋🏻 this will be our third cycle following a CP in September for baby no. 2- really hoping for the best Christmas present we could ask for this year!

@Willow89 its called Premom, I just downloaded it this month when I realised that my cycle was much shorter than I thought so last month I probably completely missed ovulation! hopefully you are still in with a chance this month.

@LuceNumberTwo atleast you have done before and should be back just in time!! Yeah I did line the tests up they just never said high, looking at it now it is quite dark. Glad I re tested with the clearblue, i was actually going to just leave it until next week and I would have missed it 😩🫣

@H938 Wooo yes get to it!
Also the strip tests are definitely high, when your taking pics on the app do you line up the lines on the picture? If that makes sense?
I'm now away with my DD for a week. So think I might miss my peak, hoping not, but it is what it is.. We DTD before I went so hopefully its enough. My peak according to the apps is around the 2nd of December, I'm back the 1st, so hopefully if we DTD enough 🤞🤞🤞

Hope everyone is well!

@starryx that's exciting you and me must be on a similar time, I'm 2dpo at the moment.

@H938 I don't know how the clearblue work but your strips definitely look super dark, can I ask what app that is to take photos?

Also huge congratulations @Elg90 great news!

As I said I'm on my tww I'm not holding out much hope for this month though tbh I don't feel like it'll happen. But sure I will wait and see, haven't managed to dtd since I got my surge, do was away and I had a crap day yesterday so was in no mood.

Have a great weekend!

Okay so my digital test now says im at my peak but the strip tests are not even high!! Glad I got the digital now - so i think three days of dtd should do it!?

@starryx haha so hopefully youre in with a chance!! The testing is stressfull!! Now ive started it im thinking do I even ovulate!! Google doesnt help lol x

@starryx are you not testing x

Oh to be fair it actually says test first thing in the morning with those ones! I will try again tomorrow morning - ive got 20 so I should get something within the next week or so 😂

So my app says im due to ovulate on monday so I thought let me get a digital test and it says nothing so now im thinking im not even ovulating anytime soon?

Your 2nd pee in the day (e.g between 10am-2pm) will provide best reading for LH levels.

Unlike hcg which the first pee provides most accurate.

Really sorry hear that @ButterflySkies sending big hugs

@ButterflySkies I'm so sorry to hear that, it is rough. Please do take care of yourself.

@Elg90 congratulations!

I'm on day 2 of AF and debating whether to temp as well as ovulation testing this month

@ButterflySkies Sorry that happened to you!! Its such an anti climax not being able to get excited because you can feel something is wrong!! Also, its never your fault, your body decides, dont be so hard on yourself! You will be more fertile this moonth (so they say). Maybe just dont put so much pressure on yourself but dtd anyway as much as you can and then enjoy your holiday!! Xx

@GHJ welcome to the December group! Hopefully this is your month 🤞🏼 are you doing the ovulation tests from now? X

Hi ladies AF arrived a few days ago so I'm rejoining this group. Bit of background if anyone is interested! I've been trying since April when I came off the pill. First few cycles were pretty normal 29 to 32 days thereabouts. Then had a cycle of 65 days with lots of discomfort throughout followed by a 60 day cycle. Although I'm disappointed this last cycle was negative one plus point is it finally seems to be getting back to a more normal cycle length at 30 days. I had scans because of my discomfort back along (around 3 weeks after the pain stopped as that was the earliest they could see me) but no pcos as far as they can tell. I naively thought this last cycle might have been the one, it was the first one I have seen a really obvious LH peak (stopped testing at 42 days the cycle before) and dtd quite a bit at the right sort of time. Anyone else around cd3 with me for this next cycle? Best wishes everyone:)

Also just catching up on this - fully caught up now ladies :)

My biggest question is when do i actually ovulate… is it much earlier than I think I do based on when some of you do from the november group who’s cycle lengths looked like mine but AF sadly arrived. Maybe we should DTD a few times before we go… (and no, didnt bat an eye lid about any other topics, you’re in a safe space with us :)) x

Oh i found my lovely ladies again! How is everyone?

Sorry for disappearing - for those on the November group, those evaps I was getting were actually a chemical. I got some strong positives but they’re fading, been to the doctors and had bloods. This week’s been pretty rough. Beating myself up about drinking at the weekend - although i tested before i did - and I was already spotting. Not my first and I suspect not my last but it hit me quite hard, it’s like my DD knows (impossible!) but she’s been v cuddly around my tummy.

This thread feels lucky though, huge congrats @Elg90

This is a wing it month for me with holiday. Looking forward to not putting too much thought into it and having a month off, if it happens it happens! Then il be ovulation testing next month so im watching for tips! Xx

Awww congratulations @Elg90 ! Hoping all goes well for you, what lovely news 😊

Congratulations hope all goes well...

@Elg90 Congratulations!! Starting off the December group with some lovely news!!💫♥️

🤞🏼 I've waited 9 months for this
