Ttc oct 2024

Hi all

Currently 5dpo on cycle number 8 of TTC our first.

Got some really bad cramping today & feel sick but I know it's too early so just my body messing with me

@JKDcot that looks positive to me!!

Not sure what to make of this cycle.. things have been weird!
Usually pretty spot on with peak LH and when the app suggests ovulation but I had an early and much lower LH peak than usual and now it’s back down so we will see.. had a lot more twinges than normal in the last week too, usually get a one sided twinge around ovulation but it’s been both sides 🤷🏻‍♀️
No testing early this month either after some false pos/evaps last month so hopefully I stay strong with it 😅 got my hopes up too much.
I’ve started taking some Vit C and B6 for the last month in an effort to lengthen my luteal phase so don’t know if that would impact ovulation as well 🤷🏻‍♀️ mind boggled 😂

Definitely can see a faint line!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Left it a few more minutes and it’s now like this

7DPO only. But I feel nauseous. Anyone see it?

8dpo, was very excited as my temp did a big jump but realise I fell asleep with electric blanket on. Oops! 😅

Oh yes after much squinting I think I can see something!

@han311 is that a Boots test? If so that’s exactly how my positive tests start (and now they are blaring!) fingers crossed for you! X

Hi guys! First month TTC after the pill, got my first flashing smiley this morning for clear blue ovulation! :)

Yeah guys will hold out in testing again until monday when af is due.... Although.. last month I logged so many pms symptoms. Sore boob's. Cramps. Headaches. This month I have zero symptoms. Apart from tiredness. It's wierd how every month is so different. Shall c what monday brings

Good morning lovelies, happy peeing on sticks to all of those testing this weekend!

Unfortunately BFN for me again today, and with a definite feel that AF is about to make her appearance. Onto cycle 8 for me, and a venture into the world of ovulation testing eeek!
Hoping to see lots of BFPs over the next days for you guys, and anyone else I’ll see on the next thread! Xx

I took a test tonight (as clearly poas has entirely consumed me) and I'm sure I can see a little something brewing, especially on the inverted one. What do you think? Not taking it as a positive but am hopeful 🤞

Just hit Ttc week anyone at the same point? Starting tww next week? :) hope everyone is keeping okay 🩷

Sorry to hear that @dellarossa! Wishing you all the luck for next cycle.

AF arrived today so I’m out this month! All the best to those still waiting and everyone else - I’ll see you next month! 😂

Is anyone else waiting to ovulate? Should be on the 18th according the my flo app. Currently have flu so hoping it shifts because if I still have it next week the last thing I'll want is sex given I'm currently laid in bed like a Victorian maiden ready to be taken to the sea side

I’m only 5dpo. Due to come on my period on 16th. Help me to be strong and not test early. Days are going so slowly! 🤣 I wanted to wait until period was late to avoid the disappointment.

@HNM are you waiting until AF is due? That's totally understandable though, the disappointment is rubbish. I've never used ovulation tests just go by my body's signs but another lady on here mentioned trying if no luck this month as O date can be earlier/later than expected. I did conceive a year ago after only DTD on cd9!!!! Absolutely baffled me but shows it's true what they say it only takes one time. And LOL same I'm googling every single niggle and reading so many old forum posts xx

@han311 I need to wait at least another week until I test but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to test early because I'm not ready for the disappointment LOL. We definitely need to DDD more often and I might splurge on the expensive clear blue ovulation tests next month! It's sooooo stressful and such a mind bend. The amount of old threads on this and other forums I go through is ridiculous!

@HNM wishing you all the luck! I am 6-7dpo and have lots of cramping, aching, twinges and more cm than usual. Did my ridiculously early strip test earlier and was neg. 3 hours later I rechecked it (lol) and there's a vvvvfl but I'm not sure if it's an evap and regardless it way past the time anyway. So going to test again in 2 days xx

I am 6dpo and have no symptoms at all. It’s usually at 8-10dpo that I completely lose the plot! So enjoying the calm 😅

For what it’s worth I have never had an evap on a test, so might be worth testing again in a couple of days

How's everyone getting on? Is anyone having early symptoms? It's so hard to tell isn't it because they're so similar to AF!

I'm not sure when I ovulated, I have a feeling it was right after my period but I can't be sure. I've been using ovulation strips the past few days and felt like my strongest line was the first one I used - this was cycle day 11. I'm already having headaches, feel so hungry and I've had some cramping today but I feel like this is alllll in my head because I want a baby! AF isn't due for another 12-13 days though so it already feels like such a long wait... Xx
