TTC April 24…..Christmas babies part2💕🎉🎄

Ah congratulations @catmumma84! Amazing news, how many dpo are you?

im in total shock, just took a clearblue ultra early, it went like that almost instantaneously after I peed on it 😳

@catmumma84 i can see the line! 🤞

to be fair I’ve just had another look at the packet and isn’t actually co op own brand it’s ‘acutest early sign’ whatever that is

ahhhh anyway going to try calm down and pretend I haven’t seen it as it’s probably wrong. Could test my partner later see if he’s positive on them too 😂

Hi all - you guys are the first people I’m messaging .. I don’t want to get my hopes up but I just did a test day before af and I can definitely see a line, it’s very faint but it’s there and it’s the most I’ve ever had of a line. I took it apart because the stupid glass thing on the reader meant there was a reflection and I couldn’t tell if I was just seeing things. It’s a 20ml hcg sensitive cheapy from co op.
now I’m just thinking back did someone say they got false positives on those? Ah crap …🥺
posting anyway I guess
(sorry that was a rollercoaster I literally just took it)

@TryTheNight thank you! I will update tomorrow, I did do a couple more tests today and couldn’t see much on them but the line yesterday on the strip test is quite obvious in person, so 🤞I’ll get something clearer tomorrow

@skr97, hoping you have a good test! I always love seeing some BFPs, but I feel like we've been low on them this month.

@Daniki 🤣 shag week. I love it.

Ummm. I'm not sure what my body was doing. I don't think I was ovulating even though I still got my period (kinda irregular, though). I'm not sure if that is a real thing, but idk.

@Elisabeth3468 stupidly just did a pregnancy test and got a BFN. My first pregnancy I had super sore bbs before my BFP at 10dpo but I would get these around ovulation and that seemed to have stopped since having DS. The only thing I have noticed the past few days is that I'm extremely tired but I don't know if I'm just looking for signs

Also 8DPO and no symptoms. Losing hope :(

Due af in two days and weirdly I’ve got no symptoms this month, last two months I’ve been tracking symptoms as it’s when we’ve started trying and I’ve had sore boobs, back pain cramps and spotting, this month nothing so far so kinda hoping it’s a good sign …. Will try not be too disappointed if af does show at the weekend..

8dpo today. No signs whatsoever but I guess it's still early days. Anyone else around the same dpo? X

I am out guys AF came yesterday but at least it came on exact expected date wasn't late even for a day. Best of luck to all of you who are still in the cycle.🤗

Jumping to my next cycle✌

@TryTheNight hopefully you have a good result now on Monday 🤞🏻 were you not ovulating at all? The body is mental anyway, so much we don't know about it still!
Good that the level is rising with letrozole!
Aw they're the worst migraines, so debilitating and definitely hormone led! I'm on CD 8 and AF finally seems to be going away thank god so will be entering shag week shortly 😂

@CoolSummer89, thank you! We only did it the once... I wish we would have given it a few tries leading up to the day. Maybe it will still turn out ok. 🤞

@Daniki, my fingers are crossed for you. 🤞 I get the migraines where I throw up every 2-3 years, and they are the worst, indescribable pain. I've even been to the ER from them. So anything that means you DON'T have to deal with that anymore, I'm cheering for that for you.

As far as monitoring, my doctor is having me schedule a 21-day progesterone test each month that I take the letrozole to see if it's working. Last month, I didn't ovulate until after the blood test (so that was kind of pointless), but this month, it should show. I have my blood test on Monday for that. Apparently, she wants my number to be 10+ (normally, you want it in the 15-20 range). Before the letrozole, my number was 0.4 🙃 which I why she had me try this route now.

I tested this morning as planned, used a boots early and a standard non-early cheap test. I thought I could see a line on the boots test, and looked at it for ages but wasn’t convinced, and when I came back to the cheap test which I didn’t think would show anything if the line was so faint on the boots - it has quite an obvious line! It is faint but definitely there. I’ll test again in 48 hours

Oh @SummerSun24 so sorry to hear this, but yes at least you were not kept waiting and can get on with the next cycle.

@TryTheNight I agree with @Daniki - as timing goes you can't get better than that. Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you this month!

Hey girls AF arrived for me, a day early at least so I wasnt left waiting like last month! Good luck to all those left in the game 💕

@TryTheNight yes iv been having all the same things! Waking up with night sweats too, horrible!! That's good you finally ovulated, they say 3 cycles usually works so hopefully this is your month?🤞🏻 iv been taking panadol but it does feck all, but I had to take my migraine tablet on Friday and again on Sunday it was that bad I was vomiting. The things we go through!!! But thankfully over the worst of it not, really hoping I get pregnant this month so I don't have to take the tablets again 😂
Did they mention to you they will do monitored cycles if no luck just on letrozole?

@Daniki I get migraines, too. And I agree... This is beyond next level. I've gone through 2 ice packs on my head. I don't want to take any medication for pain in case it affects ovulation/implantation. I feel nearly as horrible as when this started over 5 hours ago.

@Daniki, it has been interesting. Last month (month 1 of using it), I got my first positive ovulation test ever (3-4 years trying). Last month, it wasn't until CD22 but much earlier (and more typical for the general population) CD 16/17 this month.

I didn't notice many side effects last month, but this month has been harder. I have been SO HOT, especially in my face. Luckily, I live where it's cold, so I've been able to sleep with an open window and a thin blanket. I currently have a TERRIBLE headache that has kept me up all night. But mostly it's just been the hot flashes. And possibly some moodiness/emotional stuff (but that might just be me normally 😅).

@TryTheNight I think you have a good shot, if it was positive last night and you dtd last night that is like you best day! You will probably ovulate today. How are you finding the letrozole? I done 4 cycles of it but it didn't work for me(altho I didn't trigger with it) and I'm on my second cycle of Tamoxfin and will trigger on Monday. But Jesus the headaches I'm getting are awful,'iv always suffered with migraines but this is next level 🥴

Well... I messed up. I should have been better at testing for ovulation (this is month 2 of letrozole), but I had company at my house all weekend and didn't want all my pee sticks out on display.

Last month, I ovulated CD 22, so I figured I had plenty of time to test (I'm on CD 16/17). I took a test before bed, and it was definitely super positive. 🤦‍♀️ I'm hoping I didn't miss the baby-making window. We DTD and went to sleep, but the fiance is gone until late tomorrow - meaning this was pretty much our only shot for this month.

Also, if I don't conceive before July, I'll probably be pregnant at my wedding. It's early May 2025... My sister thinks I'll get pregnant and go into labor the day before my wedding and mess it all up. 😅

Sending hugs to everyone on the thread 🫶🏻 I’ve tried to chill a bit this month but did take a test just now and was negative. af due in 5 days so I guess it’s still early! Having things booked I’d really like to be able to drink for has been the key to not going crazy this month (and probably/potentially the key to many more months 🙈)
