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 😍

@Kazza2803 11dpo is still early. Dont think I’ve tested positive that early with my two mmc or with my daughter. Think I waited until 14 days. Don’t be hard on yourself it’s so hard to wait. Think I will only test when I’m late as hard as that wait is. Stay positive.

@Kazza2803 I on the other hand bought my tests today and tested knowing full well at 6-7dpo it was obviously going to be negative 😂😂 I don't even know what possessed me. Telling myself I did it 'for science' and will now keep my hands away from them for a few days haha xx

han311 · 10/10/2024 16:01

@Kazza2803 fwiw when I conceived my daughter I didn't test early, BUT I did have only a very faint line when I tested at 14dpo (day period was due). I don't think it even would have shown at 11dpo. She just turned 3. Youre defo not out yet xx

Kazza2803 · 10/10/2024 15:28

Feeling a bit down ladies. I'm 11 dpo and took a test and it's neg. Wish I hadn't caved! I looked at the test a couple of hours later tho and there was a faint line but I'm putting it down to an evap! In my gut I really thought I was pregnant. It's so disheartening x

Friedseasalt · 10/10/2024 13:48

Feel like I am going to be disappointed again this month. Agghhh

MyGardenDaisies · 09/10/2024 12:53

Ordered some cheap strips too now 😅

@LifeonMarss ugh I keep daydreaming the same ! Like I go and count how many weeks I would be in terms of how gestation would be counted from 1st day of cycle… like am I 2 weeks 2 days pregnant? 😩 Flo app doesn’t help with showing the “if you’re pregnant you’re due on 25th of June” 🫠

Mine says the 24th June! Which is my Son's Birthday 😂haven't timed it very well!

AmberM223 · 09/10/2024 09:14

@LS888 Ah so maybe we will be testing at the same time then!! fingers crossed for us both. The waiting is the worst

LS888 · 09/10/2024 09:07

@Nicola1988 stay strong and test in a few days. Moving is stressful! You definitely aren’t out yet!

LS888 · 09/10/2024 09:06

@AmberM223 my Premom app says to test on 17th but that’s only 10dpo for me. My period is due around then. Or 14DPO would be 20th so think I might hold out until then. But then I would be late for my period anyway. Last time I was pregnant I felt so sick at the 14dpo mark that I knew before I took the test. I told my husband to buy a test on the way home from work! Hoping I get an obvious sign like that again!

Nicola1988 · 09/10/2024 08:59

Day 23 for me today. Period due in 3 days. Cant bring myself to take a test after so many negatives. In my head at least i get a couple more days of hopefullness before disappointment and feeling so low. Iv been feeling nauseous with tender boobs but i get that every cycle. More tired than normal but i am packing up to move and been mega stressed so i think that explains that. Iv been very snappy towards my partner for the last few days so i think i may be out this month. This is cycle 10 for me c

The wait is killing me now! i am trying to remember that i tested a stark white negative at 12DPO for my first, then a blazing positive on 17DPO!! so i am desperately going to try and wait until 15DPO for me - which would be 17th/18th Oct!

LS888 · 09/10/2024 08:40

@Pipersgirl you are right it’s still early days and you may have ovulated later than you thought. After my mmc I ovulated a few days later in the next cycle. Keeping everything crossed that we get some positive tests in the next few days/weeks on here. 🤞🏻

JKDcot · 09/10/2024 08:39

The wait is awful isn’t it!?! Just not knowing and every twinge feels “something”…

Pipersgirl · 09/10/2024 07:51

Hope everyone is getting on ok distracting themselves for the TWW!
I did a test this morning at what I think is 9DPO and BFN. Last month with a chemical I was positive at 9DPO but quickly became negative again, so unsure how I feel about it- I know logically it’s too early to count myself out just yet, but I prefer to be let down gently. sometimes feel like I need to get the early testing ‘out of my system’ and then I feel calmer to wait a few days before testing again. Period is due Sunday I think, so will try and wait until Saturday now before testing again. If we are out this month (will be onto cycle 7) I’m going to try giving ovulation testing a go, which I haven’t tried before.

Sending lots of luck to everyone else weeing on sticks the next few days! ❤️😘

Hi, so it has been just over three weeks since my miscarriage and I’m feeling ready to start trying again. I have started using ovulation sticks. This was my result today. I haven’t had my first cycle yet since the mc. I know this obviously is a negative ovulation stick but I feel like it is getting dark, can I ovulate/fall pregnant even if i haven’t had my period erring yet? 

Yes you could definitely concieve again before you’re next period 🥰

Shellbells44 · 08/10/2024 20:34

I did a test yesterday and it was negative! Due on tomorrow and got those dreaded pains!

I hope everyone has more luck than me this month 🤞🏻 I dread it taking another 18 months to fall pregnant again 😔 x

I’m in cycle day 5 so due to ovulate in just under a week and I’m starting to get nervous. It’s crazy to think I could be pregnant this time next month, don’t want to get my hopes it but it’s such a wild thought

@LifeonMarss I was literally just thinking the same thing ! I've just ovulated going by ovulation test. It's exciting but worrying !

LetstalkaboutBruno · 08/10/2024 19:08

@BGxxx nope you’re not the only one. Someone suggested that I could have ovulated earlier in my cycle. I just went straight for a test 😂. I did an OPK tonight, it was well on its way to be being positive. Not quite yet, though. So maybe I didn’t actually ovulate as I suspect!

BGxxx · 08/10/2024 17:17

@MyGardenDaisies yes trying! I haven’t had a postpartum period yet because I’m still breastfeeding but I had my first signs of ovulation last week… but I’ve read that you can get the signs and it not happen 🤦🏻‍♀️

@LetstalkaboutBruno im glad it’s not just me then 🤣🤣 I feel like I need to test just in case

LetstalkaboutBruno · 08/10/2024 16:47

BGxxx · 08/10/2024 15:58

I’ve bought some tests for the weekend 🙃 I’ve no idea if I even ovulated lol

I have been known to test without even knowing if I have ovulated. Like, last night 😂

MyGardenDaisies · 08/10/2024 16:45

@Tadpolecat I really hope we will soon be pregnant and then a couple or few months will seem like nothing! ❤️
