Ttc oct 2024

Exactly the same for me this month! I was lulled into thinking it was so easy when I fell first time with our son. Now I've had my first negative test, I appreciate how lucky we really were!

I did it, I ordered pregnancy tests in Prime sale 😅 they will arrive on 6DPO, so earliest I can test is 7DPO with FMU on Thursday, but that would be money down the drain, so I hope to wait till Monday!

Got FRER this time and another brand I hadn’t heard of just to use different ones, due to the indents/false positive shadows I got last month on the cheap B&M ones.

@BGxxx are you going for a relaxed approach to TTC?

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

@LS888 2nd! Last month was first time ever getting a negative pregnancy test.

@MyGardenDaisies what cycle is this for you?

It’s so tough waiting and not knowing isn’t it. Hang on in there!

Good morning ladies!

5DPO. No symptoms of anything today but it’s still so early. This whole thing makes me extra grateful for my baby and that with first pregnancy it was 1st cycle. 😮‍💨

@Moomoo20 I had the mmc in July when I was 9 weeks pregnant but baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks. I think it was about 4.5 weeks I until I had my first period. Then we straight away started again. I had a mmc in July 2022 and it took a bit longer for me to get my head around it all and thought of sex was not happening for me. But we did conceive my daughter in November 22. This time it has seemed ‘easier’ to process. Maybe because we already have my little girl and if I hadn’t had the MC to begin with she would never exist.

Hiya gals!

I am following this thread from the Sept one. The last cycle was a real steep curve for me, as I never usually have cycles alone. As I have randomly been blessed with another opportunity (maybe) to try, I am much more cautious with the temping, making sure I don't miss a day etc.

I am currently CD25. I am possibly in the TWW - however I don't think I am. I had a peak CB advanced ovulation test on CD20. However my temps haven't necessarily lined up with O thus far. So I think a crappy PCOS surge. I am having all sorts of new things going on, the past 2-3 days I have had the most annoying watery mouth. I can't get through a sentence without needing to clear my mouth else I would dribble everywhere.

I am in limbo land, constantly, it feels. Something is happening, due to the headaches and migraines that I have had (definitely hormonal related). My temp on CD 24 (Saturday morning) is very low, however could be influenced by the fact that we were camping in the Cairngorms.

Attached are my charts, one on Advanced mode, and the other on OPK mode as FF seems to think that there was a chance.

Any interpretation would be helpful 😛

I didn’t wait to ttc when I had a mmc, I didn’t want to wait either! Mine returned about 2 weeks after my negative test

I haven’t got any tests 🥲 I’m going to prime myself some easy at homes for the weekend🤣

I'm so sorry to hear about your MMC, it's so hard! If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for your first period to come after your MMC. My Midwife advised that should wait one cycle before ttc (for dating purposes) but tbh I'm on a time crunch 😂🙈 so I want to start ttc asap.

I have found my people 🤣😍

Despite all my swagger today, I stopped and picked up Sainsbury’s pink dye 5 day early tests on the way home. I’m telling myself this is for the weekend, but I can guarantee one of the pack will be done by tomorrow lunchtime, I just can’t help myself 🤣

I feel like you need to just test even if you know it’ll be negative to get it out of your system 🤣🤣

@Moomoo20 good luck for your first cycle. I had a mmc in July too. And feel the same, the mmc just makes you more determined to make the next one stick. Fingers crossed for us both!

Hello ladies, just joining this thread. Little backstory.... I have a 4 year old and I'm ttc baby number 2. We have been trying since January and I fell pregnant in July but ended up having a missed miscarriage a few weeks ago. Even though it's soon, I feel ready to start trying again (I feel like I want it even more now after my mc :(.) I haven't had my 'first period' since my miscarriage but i bought ovulation sticks and I'm going to start testing from tomorrow and hopefully it happens soon. 🤞

Thanks all for your advice

I went back to the September thread and looked again at the tests I posted when I tought I saw a faint line and then it disappeared, and now thinking if I actually had a chemical or was it just line eyes/smudged colour?

My period came on time and was normal, so does it even matter (physically) if it was? 🤔

@CoolSummer89 I am due to ovulate this Friday so cycle day 14. I hope you get your positive this month, we were 11 cycles when I conceived with my dd. Definitely agree with getting fit being something positive to focus on, I have bought a rowing machine today so I can hopefully shed some weight/gain some muscle! Good luck to you this month x

I caved and just tested secretly while DH was out with DD - stark white, but what else did I expect at 7dpo?! 🤔 😂

With DD I got a negative result at 9dpo and then a positive one at 13dpo so I’m not out yet! I’m just so impatient!

@CoolSummer89 yes, I don’t ever get headaches, and usually have energy mid-cycle.

Thanks hahaha, and thank you! I'm scared though. Getting the coil removed is a big step hahaha.

@YKM2829 welcome! Your post really made me laugh. Best of luck with the coil and cutting down on 🌱Really wouldn't worry about your age - you're at your prime 🙂

@MyGardenDaisies @AmberM223 @LS888 I am 3dpo. We just have to make it through this week - hang in there ladies!

@lochmaree I am so sorry! Silver lining is that you have your fun follicular days ahead of you!

@MyGardenDaisies I have similar today (3dpo) for me it's just the normal with raised progesterone. Is this unusual for you?

Hi @JKDcot I don't use the clear blue tests however I think they work just by measuring LH levels. Some people's LH levels rise gradually and other rise very quickly (under 24 hours). I am a rapid riser, so I often have to test my OPKs twice a day to catch my LH rising. Perhaps a similar thing is happening here? (See the number of fertile days is personal to you here: uk.clearblue.com/ovulation-tests/advanced-digital)

@JKDcot if it helps I found I’d ovulate at least 48 hours later with the clearblue! When I used the cheap LH strips it wouldn’t peak until the next day. So I think you’re definitely in with a chance dtd Sunday xx

@MyGardenDaisies same 🤣 the symptom spotting is real!! Xx
