Ttc oct 2024

Good news @MyGardenDaisies! Fingers crossed for you.

My story is the same as yours - conceived first time round with baby #1 and now on cycle 2 trying for #2! I’m 2dpo now so hopefully this time! I was 33 with my first and now 37.

I got the peak smiley! Day 15, which is in line with Flo app!

@AmberM223 I’mnot sure either. I used it for my first baby and got pregnant 1st cycle. Now it’s 2nd cycle trying for baby nr 2.

I technically already had a peak this month - but I used the same test reader as last month. It showed not fertile on CD9, high on CD10 morning and peak on CD10 evening. Apparently Clear Blue is 99% accurate but it just seems so early!

at the same I also started a new device as I topically don’t ovulate so early(usually day 17), and it’s been showing high fertility for 6 days now (recounted and it’s actually 6 not 7).

ive read to stop testing if it’s been high for 9 days I think.

I know I am being impatient and it might peak tomorrow or maybe I already have peaked.
I’ve had minimal discharge too, so not sure 🤔

@MyGardenDaisies i have never heard of this? Is that quite common? this is my first month tracking ovulation / reading into it so don’t know too much about it!

I’m on day 7 of high fertility and I’m thinking the peak will not happen

I have a horrible feeling I ovulate during AF, I've had EWCM since yesterday - we DTD Sunday night and are aiming for tonight too, even though I have another full day of AF tomorrow, it should finish tomorrow night! Does having the EWCM yesterday/today mean it'd be too late to conceive or does it mean I'll be ovulating soon? Xx

Hi everyone!
CD 15 for me today, usually 27-28 day cycle and had lots of EWCM yesterday so think ovulation had probably been and gone.
We managed to do every other day from Day 6, then two days in a row on CD13/14 so hopefully we have done enough 🤞🏻
Starting the dreaded TWW now- determined not to cave and test early this month after the heartache of a CP last cycle!
Lots of luck and baby dust to everyone still in ovulation week, and let’s hope for a speedy couple of weeks for all those waiting!

@MyGardenDaisies Haha same! Clear blue ovulation test negative again this morning, even though started with EWCM yesterday so thought it would be today - nope! i’m feeling abit fed up of waiting for the smiley face!!
Hope your doing okay x

Hi all!
New to these threads.

I got a peak fertility smiley face on 29th September so only 2dpo. Cycle 2 TTC baby #2. We got really lucky with #1 and conceived on our first month of trying. I was 33 then, now 37!

Going to try and wait until 18th October to test if AF doesn’t arrive by then as I will be on holiday! Which inevitably means I’ll be running to the loo every 5mins on hol to check if I’ve come on or not…

@Parks17 thar sounds like ovulation! My CB digital ovulation kit also doesn’t really fully align with what Flo says and Clue app is even further away!
I am focusing on the digital tests and discharge.

@AmberM223 hope you get pregnant soon as the smiley faces are making me sick and it’s cycle 2 lol

I’m currently cycle day 14. Usually ovulate around day 19 but got a higher than normal opk today. So thinking it might be sooner this cycle which would be good. Had a mmc in July which messed last month around a bit- I actually ovulated on day 21 last cycle. So if it’s in the next few days that will be a lot better. Don’t tend to have a big build up in tests. Just slightly higher one day and then peak. What do you think? Pic shows previous cycle for comparison too.

Hi everyone 👋

I see some familiar names from previous threads. I just turned 40 in August and October will be our 4th cycle ttc number 1. I’m on CD2 today so just thinking about our strategy for this month!

I track my cycle using BBT which is good, but I’m still trying to get to grips with opk’s. I just can’t seem to catch the peak!

I had hormone testing done last year and it all looked good. A couple of things were a tiny bit outside of normal (but not the main hormones). So this month I’m focusing on exercising regularly as this can really help balance the hormones that were a little out.

I’m a planner, so not being able to control when/if I get pregnant feels stressful for me. I’ve been doing meditations focused on ttc with Headspace and they’re really good! That’s helped me relax a bit.

Looking forward to going through October with you all!

Hi everyone, hope it's okay for me to join?

30yo TTC first child, I have Endometriosis and a very unregular cycle. Started using Clear Blue Ovulation digital test this month (never got a peak on the cheapo strips, been off pill for 2 years in November!)

Got my first flashing smiley on Wednesday followed by a static smiley very early Saturday morning , currently 3DPO according to premom, yet ovulating today according to Flo?!

The night before my static smiley, I had a twisting/pulling pain on my right side, which continued into the morning with a dragging feeling all day. Could this have been ovulation? Not many other symptoms yesterday/today.

Good luck to everyone 🤞 This is my first time using ovulation sticks and according to my apps and my own dates I should ovulate Saturday. Out of curiosity I used one test this morning does this look ok should I start DTD tonight or wait another day or two? After a loss in August Im so nervous and really want this month to work

I have moved onto the digital smile ovulation tests today - was sick of staring at them pesky lines on the other ones and comparing!! But today just got a clear circle so not ovulating - which i would have expected to have ovulation day tomorrow (and all my apps say this too) so i feel confused! Obviously just going to ovulate later this month maybe…

The wait to try again after my early loss last cycle is killing me! I'm so excited to start tracking again and get back into TTC mode, feeling hopeful!
Due on this weekend, so not long to go!

@MamaSads hi and good luck to you too this month!

it is CD13 and 5th day of “high fertility” - that flashing smiley is annoying me now 😅 still no EWCM either, so just patiently waiting for that peak static one..

Where are you all in your cycles?

Hi everyone I'm moving here from the ttc September thread. After having some false positives/dodgy tests, af came on Saturday. Hopefully this month is the month for us all

I'm four days into my period and I think I usually ovulate quite early in my cycle (maybe) so we're going to try and DTD every day... Let's see how long it lasts LOL. We're just going to go for it though because that's what we did before! It might end up being every other day though, my partner is always tired hahaha.

Hi 😊 I think next weekend is my ovulation time and just wondering is it best to DTD for 3 nights in a row or every second night?

@HNM oh really that’s interesting!! i’m going to buy the clear blue ones today i think- staring at these lines is getting me so stressed!!

I’m still in the “high fertility” window, so DTD every other day and patiently waiting for “peak fertility” smiley to appear.

@HNM I’d heard they also recognised pregnancy - similar hormone being detected! What a shock for you!

For those doing SMEP- I don’t have a gradual rise. Just low then high. So when do we start doing the three days in a row? I usually ovulate around day 20. Currently day 13 so another week to go. Trying to keep up the pace 🤣 if I wait until the rise it might be too late. Or do I start day 18/19 regardless of the opk?

@AmberM223 This happened to me when I was TTC my 1st, I never ever got close to a dark line so I stopped using them because it was stressing me out. A couple of weeks later I decided to try one again and it was the most dark red line ever that showed up with one spec of wee LOL. I thought OMG let's go now is the time to DDD, went out for lunch with a friend same day and almost gagged at the parmesan in Zizzi, thought hmmmmm strange. Turns out I was pregnant! Test confirmed it that night. I'm scared to use them again because I was getting so frustrated that the line never went red! I might try the clear blue Xx
