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

omg only just found this thread, was wondering why it went quiet on the other one! now to catch up… 😅

Hey Ladies,
I would like to join you all too I am also hoping for my Christmas baby this year. I am 15 DPO today if my calculation is right have very sore boobs, nausea, headache, cramping, vivid dreams and AF is due on 17 april. So far only BFN not even a slightest line but keeping my hopes high because your are not out until AF shows up.

Thanks @skr97 @SummerSun24 - a combination of hormones and disappointment. Wishing you both the best of luck over the next few days.

We're not going to try next month because the due date would coincide with when DH is going to be best man at a wedding in Australia. I would really like to go too, so if I don't get pregnant in the next 4-5 months that will be the silver lining!

So I think I was just holding out a lot of hope. I have booked a fertility consultation for next week just to give us a bit of focus.

But all in all a break and a breather would probably do us both good.

Sorry your feeling a bit down @CoolSummer89 I'm still here! Anywhere from 12-5dpo (random cycles and no opk testing) so going to test Friday if AF no arrived before then!

@CoolSummer89 sorry to hear about your BFN, sounds like you have a good plan in place though for next cycle
im still here for April, CD25 and planning to test on Thursday, when I will be 10-11dpo

12 dpo and BFN this morning. Feel like AF is definitely on her way, been very teary this morning and had a go at my husband. However, it’s not totally undeserved as he has done F all around the house this week, so he was just asking for it being this lazy and useless at this time in my cycle.

Had a bit of creamy CM last week, thought this part of the cycle was meant to be dry/sticky. According to a fertility podcast creamy CM can be a sign of low progesterone levels. I’m not spotting and my temps remain a good level so I don’t think I have super low progesterone, but I did get a couple of low readings on my proov tests, so it’s something I will look into for next cycle.

Is anyone left on the April TTC thread? Or has everyone graduated to the May thread?

@CoolSummer89 there is still time, with my son (my first pregnancy and only surviving pregnancy!) I didn't get a positive test until 12dpo. Not a hint of a shadow or anything before that, and I am serial tester! With the 3 losses I tested positive quite early so there is no rhyme or reason to it! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@CoolSummer89 I've found it's so much easier to be kind to others than yourself. It's hard watching people get their positives so early because it means we are hard on ourselves earlier than we probably should be but I get it. Theres still time and Im crossing my fingers for you

@Kirkikins oh I’m so sorry to hear that.

10dpo for me and BFN. Not even a shadow. Feeling very down about it as we did everything ‘right’ this cycle.

if I was talking to someone else I would say a)10dpo is very early to call yourself out. Don’t get your hopes up but also don’t get too down. b) even if you do everything right and there is nothing wrong with your fertility, it’s still only a 1 in 3 chance every month. c) having said all this it’s OK to be sad. Let it ruin your morning, but not your day!

@Kirkikins oh no, sorry to hear that.

I've woken up at 12dpo and wiped blood so I guess that's me out

@Kirkikins i will if it keeps happening. Hopefully it was a one off. Don't want to get my hopes up again for nothing.😪

@RRAEE if it keeps happening you should definitely talk to a doctor about it

@Kirkikins i can only imagine. Hopefully you are all good now. Im hoping this was a one off but who knows. Hoping next month brings better news.

@RRAEE I get that! I feel something similar waiting months to ovulate. It slowly makes you insane so what you had must be that on steroids

@Kirkikins thank you 💕. The limbo was the worst part but glad whatever it was has resolved its self so can move on to the next cycle.

Hope you and everyone else gets their BFPs this month. ✨

@RRAEE wishing you so much luck for next cycle and Im glad You're out of limbo even if it's not the way you hoped.

Well my AF finally showed over 9 days late. At least now i can move on to the next cycle, good luck all still waiting for their BFPS!

@YorkshirePeridot oh love 9dpo (and 10dpo) is very early. I am also 9dpo so I hope whatever happens for us over the next few days is as serene as possible 🤞

@SummerSun24 if you are only 3dpo def chill out and have a drink tonight!

@Kohel oh I’m sorry, hope you have some restful but fun things on today

I tested this morning at 9dpo. Trying not to be disappointed that there was nothing there as it's still so early. I just have a real fear of testing before work because my job is stressful and I'm not sure how I'd handle the emotions of a test on a work morning. So embryo, if you are there, please make yourself known on a weekend 🤞

Caved and took a test today (I justified it because I'm going out with friends later and may have a sociable drink or two) obviously BFN but only at most about 10dpo and that is best guess and potentially only 3dpo if my period is similar length to last month!

Oh no! So sorry!

Think my period has begun this morning ☹️ no 2024 rainbow baby for me this time. So sad. Good luck to the rest of you! X

11DPO and woke up feeling MISERABLE I am so tired and my throat and ears are killing me 😔 I thought I saw something on a test this morning but I'm pretty sure my eyes just are affected by whatever illness I've caught haha

@CoolSummer89 hey if You've had three bad things it stands to reason things will get better. I'm crossing everything for you

@Kohel oh yes I can see a shadow! Please keep us updated

I am 9dpo today. Have had a very busy week with three frustrating (but not life-shattering) events. Allowed myself a little hope that if bad luck comes in threes then maybe we would get some good news at the end of the week. But that’s the TWW making one go crazy.

Symptoms wise I haven’t really had anything. I woke up on 8dpo with an urgent need to pee which was my first symptom for my accidental pregnancy 14 years ago (although I don’t know what dpo I would have been) and my temps have been a little higher, but it’s also warmer. Basically nothing slam dunk!

Just a waiting game literally. Hope we get a few more BFPs for the last of the 2024 babies 🤞
