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 😍

@Sabina93 aww how lovely would it be if we both got a positive on the first try :) with my daughter we were taking quite a relaxed approach, not tracking or anything but not preventing. It's hard to remember, although I tested the day AF was due so obviously I was hoping for it but I wasn't as obsessed as I am this time around lol x

CoolSummer89 · 13/10/2024 23:01

Yea probably a bit early to be testing if you are only 6-10 days past ovulation. 10-12 days is when you are more likely to get accurate results, but obviously you’re not out until your period arrives

HNM · 13/10/2024 22:26

@CoolSummer89 I'm cycle day 18 Xx

CoolSummer89 · 13/10/2024 22:24

What cycle day are you now @HNM?

HNM · 13/10/2024 22:05

I tested yesterday but absolutely nothing... AF is due on the 23rd so I know it's quite early to test but as I mentioned before I'm fairly sure I ovulated around cycle day 8-12. Would I see a positive test yet or is it still too early? I don't want to lose faith but it's so hard Xx

Sabina93 · 13/10/2024 22:05

@han311 Oh wow nice. I'm also cycle #1 😊so fingers crossed. Did you concieve your girl on first try?

han311 · 13/10/2024 21:58

@Sabina93 we have always sort of thought we would try when she turned 3 and just so happened her bday was the day before O day this month! So here we are. I guess it's cycle #1! What about you?

Sabina93 · 13/10/2024 21:24

@han311 thank you very much and wishing you luck too. What cycle are you on?

@coolsummer89 yes that's what i remember when I was ttc my second one. Every month I had all of the symptoms but then luckily one month the symptoms were real. So hopefully it's the same for you and this month is the month. Have you tested yet or when are you planning to test?

CoolSummer89 · 13/10/2024 20:10

9dpo. BFN this morning. Been symptomless the whole TWW but this evening my boobs have been a bit sore and have had a lot of CM. Pretty sure I am like this every point in my cycle, but every time I get hope!

feeling quite upbeat about things this TWW as DH is having sperm analysis in a couple of weeks, so we’ll soon know if there are any issues. Also if I don’t get pregnant this month I get all the money I spent on easy @ home tests back - silver lining!

han311 · 13/10/2024 19:34

@Sabina93 hi lovely wishing you all the best for your BFP. I'm trying and failing to be patient lol, AF due Friday hoping to conceive my second. My daughter is turned 3 x

Sabina93 · 13/10/2024 18:57

Hi everyone, just joined now. I'm on cycle 1 atm. I'm 31 and my partner 37. We have two boys. First one it took us 3 cycles and second son took us 12 cycles to conceive.
I was a few days past my period now when we dtd but actually we were not trying to conceive but it just happened. We dtd 5th and 7th early morning and ovulation test positive on 9th but really bad cramping on 10th. As I said we were not ttc but now I'm at the two weeks wait and all the memories coming back and I am just hoping so much for the BFP. I'm only 3-4 dpo but was wondering if there is anyone else who's also waiting to test???

han311 · 13/10/2024 15:31

@SophieRules wishing you all the luck in the world, sorry to read of your mmc :(

Can confirm I just bought 2 cb early 😵 I feel so foolish but can't resist. Wish I had the willpower to just wait for goodness sake.

SophieRules · 13/10/2024 15:14

Just joining this, good luck everyone. I’m 35, had one MMC at 6 weeks on first try using Premom ovulation strips. My peak was 2tc since I started testing negative again, I had a random one day tc that was quite high at1, but not as high as usual. Hoping I can get pregnant again quickly, my age makes it feel like so little time. Good luck everyone and sending positivity. It has been so nice to read the threads and realise I’m not alone. Hard to not obsessively test.

han311 · 13/10/2024 15:11

@Row23 omg I know!! I'm convinced I've had so many symptoms this month! But not feeling very hopeful now. Just come to Tesco and the temptation to get more early tests is overwhelming 😱😂x

Row23 · 13/10/2024 14:26

han311 · 13/10/2024 13:55

@Row23 sorry you're in a similar boat. When do you think you'll test again? Fingers crossed for both of us xx

I’m think I’m going to wait until the 18th like you. Logically I think I know it’ll be negative but at least I have a few more days of
hope until then! It’s hard not to read into every little twinge and cramp or change. Hopefully we get our BFP’s soon 🤞

BFN on the other boots early this morning with fmu. Feel a bit deflated as was hopeful to see something. AF isn't due til 18th so I know it's still early but can't help overthinking it! Think I am probably just going to wait to test on 18th if AF isn't early. Feel like I've had so many symptoms. Last night my husband smelt funny to me. Sounds weird but the only time I've smelt that smell from him was when I've been pregnant before, so I think that got my hopes up even more :(

Same for me this morning - AF due around 18th - 20th so there is still time, but it’s still deflating.
I got my hopes up when I had sharp pain for about 20 mins and had only ever felt that with implantation. So I had thought that maybe I’d implanted, but I think realistically I’d see a hint of a faint line by now if that were the case.
But, we’re not fully out until AF shows!

I can see lines on all of those! OMG I'm keeping everything crossed for you girlies. I haven't tested yet... I really don't want the disappointment but AF isn't due for 11 days.

I took pregnacare when I started trying for my little girl - it definitely did something to me LOL and I feel like it threw my cycles off a little but I got pregnant so I'm going to keep using it. I feel like because I've been on breastfeeding supplements they're not feeling as dramatic as they were before!

I've been feeling so tired the last few days, I'm at that point of if overthinking every possible symptom.

Xx

BGxxx · 12/10/2024 20:15

@Nicola1988 the exact same thing happened to me!

Nicola1988 · 12/10/2024 19:58

@MrsGingerCat i took some pregnacare prenatal vitamins for a very short time and it messed with my very regular cycles. I switched the following month to cq10,folic acid and vit d and my cyxles went straight back to normal x

MrsGingerCat · 12/10/2024 18:01

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 😆🤞🤞

han311 · 12/10/2024 16:51

@JKDcot my early positive clear blues in the past have looked just like that! Fingers crossed for you! X

han311 · 12/10/2024 16:50

@CoolSummer89 it takes some squinting I know 😂😂

han311 · 12/10/2024 16:49

@Herewegoagain0 yes it's a boots early one! Oooo thank you for sharing! Hope the same happens to me ☺️ x
