RESTART TTC DECEMBER CLUB

@Willow89 my app says CD 9. Ill do another later. Im guessing mine needs to look like yours does now lol. I did read online that once they look positive you will ovulate in the next two days!? Who knows. Its actually alot to take in. My app says now til monday so im going to try dyd maybe friday and Sunday and see what happens. X

@LuceNumberTwo glad your appointment went well, fingers crossed it's happens for you this month and no need for referral.

@H938 I would keep testing twice a day, what cycle day are you on?

@Elg90 I am tentatively going to say that's a positive but I know clearblue can be unreliable so would get a pink dye if you can.

I done another test this morning and still positive. Not sure if someone more experienced with ovulation tests can tell me why? So a positive last night and this morning, when would that indicate ovulation? I'll post a pic of both.

@Elg90 @starryx I agree looks positive- maybe do a digital?

12 DPO, 2 days late for AF, thoughts?

Are these normal - should I do in the afternoons too?

@LuceNumberTwo glad you got some reassurance, hopefully you wont need the referral and you get your two lines this month!

My tests are still low but they look quite dark so who knows when Im going to ovulate 🫣 its a waiting game for sure!! The app says on Monday so I think we will try again this weekend but to be honest I cant do every day. I fall asleep as soon as I get in bed haha! X

Hey @LuceNumberTwo glad to hear your appointment went well and that the Dr was nice 😊 sounds like you’ve got some positive next steps and fingers crossed you get your positive smiley face soon!

and oh my goodness @Willow89 and @H938 i know the chances each month are so small! And each month goes by so slowly! My next fertile window is due to start around 30 Nov and my predicted ovulation date is 4 December - it feels sooo far away

Hey girls!
Hope everyone's OK!
Had my appointment with the consultant at the pregnancy unit yesterday! I'm being referred to the recurring miscarriage clinic for tests, also getting tests for diabetes, blood sugars, etc.. getting referred also to a dietician & being put on a high dose of folic acid... I knew they'd mention my weight, but I had a gastric sleeve 2 years ago in Feb I lost 7.5 stone, it's slowly crept up again, but I was 27st when I carried my daughter.. So the Dr was really nice about it! My aim is to loss weight again anyway!
I got a smiley on my clearblue digital yesterday, but I then got an empty circle when double checking so think it was false. We are dtd anyway just incase 🤣🤣
💖

@Willow89 I think exactly the same when I look in to how small the chances really are. X

Yeah so my test line is darker than the control line so that's the surge. It's absolutely a game of luck.

My 1st DS is 13 and was an unplanned pregnancy so even though I'm very lucky I have him. I'm amazed at how I got pregnant without trying cause at the moment it seems very complicated 😂

@Willow89 is that what the test should look like at the highest? I saw online the highest chace of getting pregnant is day before you ovulate! So who knows, its a luck game isnt it! Hopefully you had some in there haha x

Hit my peak a day later than expected and DP is away until Friday, hopefully we done enough and will dtd again on Friday. @H938 definitely time to start baby dancing.

Completely get not being able to baby dance every night, even I feel the pressure let alone DP so I think doing whatever works for you is absolutely the way to go!

@Mama09876 thank you for the advice. I will start tonight 😂

Them three weeks will go so quickly!! Especially as we are hitting December 🎄

@H938 sorry yeah I meant the temping. I think it’s good to do either temp or OPK or both for some people. Only cause I’ve read so many posts on here where the apps say it’s your fertile window but ladies may have missed ovulation cause they’ve ovulate earlier or later.
those LH lines look good though! I recon do another tonight or this afternoon and tomorrow looks like your peak is near! I’d get down to DTD tonight!

that’s really good you’ve fallen pregnant prerry much straight way, got everything crossed for you!

fertile week feels like forever away for me! 3 weeks and counting

@Mama09876 just saw your reply!! Im not doing the temp thing if thats what that stands for 🫣 - i can just about grasp the ovulation tests lol. Technically this is my first month trying - last month i missed ovulation but I didnt even know my cycle length so thought I had a chance. To be honest, everytime I have been pregnant its happened straight away and I have been very lucky so im hoping if I catch ovulation timing correct i might be in with a chance this month 🤞🏼 im easy either way though - I dont want to start obsessing over it, I know thats easier said!!

@Sconehenge we are all just starting again this month… fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Hoping we will all be getting positives within the next few weeks x

Hello everyone, okay AF finally arrived yesterday so I am CD2! Initially I thought AF was 1 day early but it was just first ever time spotting (naturally my head went to implantation bleeding and I was quietly excited but nope! Also I read a post on Reddit about how implantation bleeding is actually a myth so there is that!).

@moosey89 @LuceNumberTwo we are definitely in the “lucky if we manage a few times over ovulation period” camp as well. In fact I think that’s a factor of last month being unsuccessful, looking back I believe I might have ovulated CD19 but our last DTD was CD16! This month our goal is to continue having sex for a few days after we think ovulation is - incase it’s later.

Also sending DP to get sperm analysed this month just to make sure we aren’t bothering for nothing and he’s actually firing blanks or has issues like a blocked vessel or something that can be fixed in time for next cycle. Hopefully everything is good and then we can just have that peace of mind at least.

80% of our couple friends who are trying are needing IVF so I’d rather check sooner than later. If it’s lifestyle related fertility issues then we obv have similar lifestyles to these friends so I am a wee bit concerned!

My only friends who have managed to get pregnant naturally both have DHs who are younger than them…

@LuceNumberTwo maybe you ovulate sooner than you thought?? Keep dtd from now til they go faint again 🤣 cant do any harm can it. Last thing you want to do is miss the window!! X

OK.. I'm lost
These are my ovulation tests, starting Monday morning/afternoon.. then Tuesday.. the bottom being this morning!!
Why are they all the same.. Like premom is still saying they are low but they aren't usually like this for me🙈
I'll show you my last ones I logged on the app - they start faint then I obviously get my peak!

Then the picture of the recent ones, all the same 🙈🙈

Hi again ☺️
I tried deleting the app as it's hard seeing so many BFPs when you're struggling (though I AM happy for those that get them - just jealous I guess...!).
But it's also useful seeing others in the same boat and sharing info ☺️ thank you

@moosey89 Ahh great to see I'm not alone here with it 🤣 my partner is the same, it's just alot of pressure, unless it's just random sex which is more what it's like now 🙈
Good luck for this month! December could be a special month 🤞

@H938 great looking lines!! Your surge is definitely coming - I always do two a day so am/pm, but yes time to do the business 🤣🤣 I'd say just go as & when you can! I've been watching alot of videos etc, alot of fetility drs say atleast 3x during the week of your peak as his swimmers can last for upto 5 days in your body.. I mean obviously people do more for a better chance. But hey I'm sure ladies have gotten pregnant with way way less 🤣🙈
I've not tested yet. But I feel like the tests so far have all been the same darkness 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ got my appointment today. So ready for some advice/help! 🤞

Xx

Ok would help if i attach the picture 🤦🏻‍♀️
