TTC Sept 2024

@MamaSads hi! Good luck to us all! 🐣

@EagerBiscuit thats the type of faint shadows I’ve been seeing a few times, but not sure 🤔 I’ve been inverting too, and with adjusted contrast etc. the line was more obvious

I’ve bought CB digital and asked husband to hide them till morning to test again with 1st wee

I’m pretty sure my bleeding is a period now rather than implantation bleeding - on to the next cycle! (I have been pretty sure before and turned out to be pregnant) Good luck for those will still waiting 🤞🏻

@Mummysparrow ahh I didn’t know that. Thank you! I don’t have other data, might have to scroll back to my first pregnancy as that’s the only other cycle I’ve ever tested ovulation.

I did another test this morning and it had a smudgy faint mark, but it’s such a smudge that I’m not convinced.

foukd buy another digital but I’ve spent a fortune on tests! Lesson not to test too early with the expensive stuff 😅

@MyGardenDaisies the luteal phase usually stays the same length every month and is generally only the follicular phase that changes. I have only just worked this out as realised that my period is always on 15dpo. So depending on if you have other months data it may be worth seeing if you have a pattern to work out when your period is due. My cycles are anywhere from 29 to 35 days.
11dpo and BFN again so now I have used all my expensive tests up I am sitting and waiting for my period which is due on Friday.
@LS888 I think the problem is you here positive stories about people getting pregnant quickly after loss but my body is still a bit messed up from the loss. That's why I am now chucking money at expensive vitamins hoping it will help sort my cycles out

One those "am I seeing things?"
Inverted on the second photo.

Hi all, I'm here trying to conceive again for first time after 6 years from my first. Wishing us all the best luck

Morning! 10-11DPO and negative, period late.
My cycle variation is 7 days, so I’m 2 days late based on average cycle, but still not abnormal for me to have a slightly longer cycle.
I am starting to hope my period will come soon and a new cycle can start and we can try again.

I got the starkest white negative at 9DPO and a "is there actually something there?" test at 10dpo, it's still SO early.

@Mummysparrow that must have been heartbreaking to go through. Sending hugs. Hope you conceive soon 🤞🏻

I had a mmc in July and was hoping this cycle would work. I think you put so much will and hope into the first cycle. But I’m not sure this is the one for us. I’m spotting but not a full on period, 10 dpo and testing negative. With my other pregnancies I’ve always had implantation bleeding when I’m due so it’s hard to tell if it’s the start of a period or not. But I’ve also not tested positive until day 14ish and with the last one I bled for a good 4 days and thought it was my period until I started feeling sick. So who knows!!

Can I join? I am trying to conceive again after having a TFMR for trisomy 16 at 15 weeks at the end of May. Only on 2nd cycle since my lost and had a BFN today which broke me as I had convinced myself that I was pregnant 😭
I am 35 and slightly worried about my egg quality. I am one and done until a year ago and now the thought of not having another breaks me

Eeek. Not getting my hopes up just yet.
I'll see how things go over the next few days.

@EagerBiscuit I had metallic taste in early pregnancy

Did a test and negative. :(
I’m still having a hopeful heart and will retest until positive or period arrives, as I might be 8 or 9DPO not 10DPO, as the clear blue digital smiley shows up for 48h.

Not sure of when I ovulated but DTD often around the time. So not sure of how many DPO.

Since last night ive had awful metallic taste in my mouth and some niggly lower abdo pains. Trying not to symptom spot but what's people's thoughts? Anyone else had the metallic taste before?

We’re on holiday and managed DTD sat, sun and planning to tonight. Pretty sure I should ovulate tomorrow but I don’t have much EWCM at all and my cervix isn’t very soft. I’m worried I won’t ovulate at all. We’re constantly talking about next summer and how we could have a baby. It feels all consuming but I feel like it will never happen

I’ve ordered Amazon test strips and will test tonight and tomorrow as I’m absolutely knackered and bloated and no sign of period

@Confusedmermaid1 @OliveTraybake

I’m with you! I posted on some previous months threads too. I’m back in my fertile window again now. I’m trying to be more relaxed about things this time (our 3rd month ttc). But it’s much more stressful than I ever thought it would be!

I track BBT with natural cycles and this months graph is looking a bit weird. It’s predicting I’m going to ovulate tomorrow (day 17), but my temp has already started to rise, so I may have ovulated earlier. Hoping we DTD enough if that’s the case! (I haven’t been able to get a positive LH Test yet, so I’m very confused this month!)

so so fustrating!! I’m CD14 now and usually have my LH surge at this time.. just done an ovulation test and my LH is 0.15… this time last cycle it was 1.66!!

What on earth is happening ☹️

@OliveTraybake I definitely sympathise, I feel the same way.. feel like everyone I know is announcing their pregnancy, it’s so hard isn’t it. Also in my fertile window at the moment and already feel like it’s not going to plan this month between illnesses and DH and I both being so busy with other things etc but trying to remain hopeful. It’s so draining! Feel like TTC has totally taken over my life recently..

Yeah it's a 6 day early one, I just expected AF to come any time between yesterday and tomorrow, so would have thought they'd be darker. I guess I'll just keep testing in the mornings and see what happens!

@MrsKurz yes, you could also check how sensitive is your digital test , if it’s one that detects a very low hgc then it’s even more normal that the lines are still vary faint

Hi Everyone! I am a little late to the party this month, I have been trying to keep my mind off things but here i am 7/8DPO symptom spotting like crazy.

Congratulations to those who have got their BFP's!

I had my static smiley face on the clearblue ovulation kit on the 8th, so I believe i ovulated around then, I had lots of EWCM (sorry TMI) it then cleared and then on the 13th Sept i had a lot of watery discharge, the following days i have continued to see it but not as much as i did on the 13th, cramping yesterday! usually I am dry after O.

I'm just trying to hope for positive news this month and around 16 months TTC. Did anyone have this and get a BFP?

@OliveTraybake i totally feel you. My friend has just found out she’s pregnant trying first time and although i’m happy - i’m very sad. My period was days late this month, even now 5 days later i’m only spotting so on cycle day 36!!! and nothing. multiple preg tests later all negative. I feel so sad, once i start crying about it i can’t stop the tears!!
Sending all my love and luck to you!

Yeah it’s been a bit of a mess this time as all the tests I’ve taken have been different brands, other than the one that was negative at 9dpo and faint at 10dpo. I was in Austria so could only get what that pharmacy had to offer, now I’m home (living in Switzerland!) so had to get a different brand lol. I have 1 more in the pack from this one so I’ll try to wait til Wednesday to take it. I probably should just trust the digital. Those are pretty accurate right?

@MrsKurz these are line progressions of my 1st child’s pregnancy - top one starts at 10DPO. I would recommend testing with the same test if you want to see the line doubles in darkness every 48h. But it was both reassuring and worry inducing to keep doing it.
maybe just trust your digital and stop testing?

I am 10DPO, period due today and no signs yet. I will just wait until I can buy a new test or if I miss period. Hard to predict it as my cycle variation is 7 days
