Nov 2024 TTC 💖

Hi ladies, thanks for creating the thread. We have been TTC for 10 months but inbetween I had a miscarriage. This is my first cycle trying after my miscarriage. I Had my fertile week this week. I got a positive opk on Tuesday and we managed to have sex two days before ovulation and a day after so hoping that's enough. Feeling so nervous about trying/getting pregnant after my recent miscarriage I was 11 weeks pregnant when I miscarried x

@QuirkyPiglet I think I have enough info from mumsnet, google etc to convince myself I’m a medical professional these days 😂

Hope you’re having a good day? I’m 5DPO today, absolutely zero symptoms which is helping with the symptom spotting as I usually have some sort of aches and pains by now 😅

Cd 7 for me, going to start my opks in next couple of days! Normally get peak around cd 12/13 so hoping it's same this cycle! Normally 28/29 day cycle! Baby dust to us all trying for bfp this month

so it’s only “spotting” if it’s at a different time if the month , that’s so interesting @LolaJ87 I will file that info away in my brain as actual medical info 😂

hope everyone is having a good day 😊

On the cycle tracking thing - I count the day I start spotting as the first day of my cycle. I do this on the advice of a obs & gynae I saw for something. I usually spot for 2 days before my period gets heavy but she said that it would be classed as starting a period with a very light flow. She said it would only be considered spotting rather than period if it happened at another time of the month.

I was very worried when TTC my son as I had also read it indicates low progesterone, and I have shortish cycles and it looks like a short-ish luteal phase, but I didn't have any difficulty conceiving. Worried it'll be different this time of course!

Morning I've been googling the same question this morning lol
From what I've gathered it's 24-36 hours after you ovulate you class 1dpo but don't quote me. I'm sure someone else can answer too
Good luck

Thank you for replying
I've just taken another and the T line is stronger than the C line so i definitely think today is the day 🤞🏼

Morning! We are actually in November now ! How exciting 🤞

question - which day do you count as 1DPO? Is it the day after peak or 2 days after peak?

(trying to count how long my luteal phase is)

@Butterflygirl23 if todays is higher then today is your peak 😊 it will
change when it thinks you have peaked but then you get a higher reading! You’ll likely ovulate in the next 24 hours or so, good luck!

I just realised peak has gone off yesterday's one. So I guess I have to wait to get peak again

Can anyone explain I'm confused. Isn't Todays test higher than yesterday's peak? Does it mean il ovulate today as I got my peak yesterday afternoon?

That’s true, it could have peaked overnight especially if you have fast peaks/drops. Let us know how you get on with the tests over the next few days x

Thank you @Kateb149. I think that’s what has confused me because I was expecting it to go higher but it just started dropping. I’m wondering if I got my peak overnight between CD15 and CD16. I got a 0.05 today (CD17) but I’m going to keep testing for a bit longer just to make sure it doesn’t go up again.

Marking today as cd1 on premon app as bleeding has picked up. Never have cycles this short 21 days but must be hormones regulating. App is predicting ovulation second week November and possibly testing by the end.

We have also been lucky that apart from my first pregnancy (missed miscarriage) where I was coming off birth control took about 6 months our three boys were all first month trying. Fingers crossed for the next cycle and baby dust to everyone waiting for this month still

Welcome to the friendliest place on the interwebs @Tadpolecat

Joining this thread as I'm CD1 today! 3rd cycle lucky🤞 Trying for 2nd child.

Good luck lovely & to everyone else - really hope this is your month ❤️❤️❤️ xx

🤞

Let’s hope cycle 4 is lucky for both of us 🤞

I had 0 symptoms with my first 2 until I hit 6 weeks so don’t let that worry you, I also didn’t get bfp until after my missed period I never got early lines so don’t stress

I'm 10 days PO and just ordered some tests but thinking it will be negative tbh. 0 symptoms apart from insane nausea and dry heaving but I'm putting that down to new job anxiety

As others said they do say to keep on testing after your peak to make sure it doesn’t peak again, which can happen if you failed to ovulate the first time your body can sometimes have another go

This is cycle 4, I know I was super lucky with the first 2

You still got a peak which is a good sign, not everyone gets a peak at 1 so that might have been yours… or your body might try to ovulate again later in the cycle. Last month I thought I had my peak at 0.90 as it dropped back down, and then two days later it went up to 1.3 which hadn’t happened before! So try to keep testing x
