Hey everyone moving over from the ttc sept 2024 thread. Very light start to period today. Expect to start tomorrow with negative pregancy tests. Thought id dip my toes in and start a wee thread.

Little bit about me. Im 35 years (soon to be 36 in oct...a birthday bfp would be lovely) been ttc since jan this year. This will now be cycle 10 for me. I have a 8 year old daughter with my ex and had to have ivf/icsi to have her due to his low sperm count. My new partner and i have been together now 2 and a half year and would love to extend our family.

So far i have had day 21 bloods which confirmed that i am ovulating and waiting to hear back regarding his SA results.

Please feel welcome in joining this thread and sending postive pregnancy vibes to all 😍

@rebecca199 OMG, when you said you'd been made redundant I thought to myself I bet she falls pregnant because that's just the weird way the universe works! Well... When I found out I was pregnant with my little girl it was through an ovulation strip. I did one in the morning thinking there's no way I'm ovulating but I'll check just in case, I checked it and it was so strong, the strongest I'd ever had. Then I went out for lunch with a friend and was overwhelmed with the smell of parmesan, I didn't want to get my hopes up but thought it was very strange. I did a test the next day and yep, pregnant! Get yourself a test asap and keep us updated. This would be absolutely wonderful news if you were and you will find a way to make everything else work Xx

Well I did think this 😂 but we hadn't had sex since our miscarriage until Sunday so there's no way it could be because of early pregnancy, just a very early ovulation! So random!

HNM · 17/10/2024 08:24

@LS888 Eeeeeeeeek congratulations! Keep us updated please. I did a test yesterday but had an evap line, savage! AF is due Wednesday so not sure whether to test again or wait... Xx

Ladies I’ve had my BFP! It is still very faint but I’m only 11dpo trying to stay calm and enjoy the moment. Hope we have some more positives on here today!

Ahh thats great ! Congratulations

@KaKateb149 good luck with getting you BFP soon 🙂🙂

Sabina93 · 16/10/2024 22:12

@rerebecca199 I wouldn't stress much about it. What should be will be. So maybe this is the time you get your bfp and you still have time to find a job xx

rebecca199 · 16/10/2024 20:49

Looking for peoples advice
I posted on here I found out on Monday I'm being made redundant so put TTC on hold. Obviously I didn't know this was coming so on Sunday we had sex twice. Usually this wouldn't have been prime time however I've just had a very positive ovulation test much earlier than I'm suppose to...

Could this lead to pregnancy? Or is the gap long enough

I'm freaking out because obviously I want to be pregnant, but I need to find a new job first!

Kateb149 · 16/10/2024 20:48

Hi all,
Can I join 👋 I’ve had a read through the thread and searched A LOT on mumsnet since TTC 😂 I thought I might be in with some luck this month, but I got my AF two days ago so unfortunately I think i’m out. This will be cycle 4 for me. I had my coil out in May this year and my AF has been a lot shorter and lighter than before the coil… not sure if this is making a difference or not. But hoping we get our BFP before the end of the year 🤞 good luck everyone!

Hi all!
I have been a silent reader this month trying to learn lots but want to join in the convo! First cycle trying to conceive baby number 1. I have been off the pill for 18 months after 8 years on it, have been trying to get used to my cycle. I generally have 32-34 day cycles and ovulate D18. This month I had a high OPK D17, peak D18 which was Saturday. DTD D15,17,18. Then yesterday I had EWCM!!! I usually get that the day of my peak but I thought I was 3DPO? So DTD again last night. Confused now as to whether I’m 4DPO or 1DPO. Has anyone else had that?

anyway good luck everyone this is definitely a confusing journey & the unknown is scary! I’m also a midwife so surrounded by pregnancy. Hoping it is a smooth journey for us 😊

CoolSummer89 · 15/10/2024 22:47

Congratulations @AmberM223 that is so exciting! What dpo are you?

@LifeonMarss def DTD now! Flashing smilies aren’t peak either it’s solid (I think) but you are fertile for about 3-5 days before you ovulate, but quickly become not fertile after you ovulate. So best to DTD in the days leading up to ovulation.

@rebecca199 I’m so sorry to hear that. If TTC wasn’t stressful enough!

SophieRules · 15/10/2024 20:12

I have only used pre mom when I tried to conceive for the first time and it worked. However you have to do a full cycle before you know your peak which they say is usually 1+, your peak might be coming in a few hours. It also rises when pregnant as I believe the test can’t differentiate between the two. I had an Lh of 1 4 weeks post MMC but my peak was 2 before that so no idea what’s going on,

LifeonMarss · 15/10/2024 20:08

First time using the premom at home strips and it says my LH is 0.51 (low) but the clearblue test has a flashing smiley which means peak right? Feeling a little confused on whether to dtd or whether it would be pointless? I'm not actually 100% sure what LH even means, this TTC stuff truly has me feeling like a scientist

AmberM223 · 15/10/2024 06:19

Think i can say i have my BFP! early response clear blue faint line yesterday morning then a cheap clear and simple strip test before bed last night even had the faintest of lines - can’t quite believe it yet. AF due Thurs/Fri so praying all goes okay🙌🏻

Congratulations! X

Sabina93 · 15/10/2024 09:04

@Row23 oh but stay positive and hopefully this cycle is the one for you 🙏

LS888 · 15/10/2024 09:03

@AmberM223 congratulations 🥳 will you test again? Think last time I was pregnant I tried not to be obsessive but did maybe two a few until I got a 3+ on a digital.

Sabina93 · 15/10/2024 09:02

@rebecca199 oh im so sorry 😞. Just remember that everything happens for a reason. So just don't loose hope 🤞

Sabina93 · 15/10/2024 09:00

@AmberM223 aww congratulations and fingers crossed 🤞. Are you going to test again later today or tomorrow?

Sabina93 · 15/10/2024 08:58

@han311 no problem at all. Hopefully the positive vibes will bring us a good outcome and we all get our BFP soon.

Hey Everyone! So I started taking Pregnacare Before Conception Vitamins last month and my usually very regular cycle went completely off plan. My last cycle was 36 days and I ovulated this cycle on day 22, I got a peak ovulation test on Thursday and have been DTD each day since.
I suppose I'm asking if prenatal Vitamins delayed anyone elses cycle? I've heard it can happen.
Now for the TWW, although who knows how long this cycle will be now 😆🤞🤞

Just catching up.. this stood out as it's the same thing that happened to me with pregnacare. It made me 5 days late and I'm usually like clock work. I stopped right away and did the same as @Nicola1988

Folic, cq10 and vitamin D.
