TTC Jan 2025

Hi ,
I’ve googled like a crazy person all afternoon trying to find someone with a similar situation, that’s gotten answers .
I don’t do BBT, I used my Apple Watch to track my temp, it’s dropped from 36.9 to 36.4, like suddenly.
When I have had PMS on the way, it’s normally a gradual drop. This was suddenly and out of nowhere.
any insight?
im 27cd /13dpo

I haven't been through your situation but I couldn't not comment to say how sorry I am for what your going through , I hope it all goes as well as possible and your recovery is smooth sending you all the 💐💐🍫🍫

@YKM2829 I’m so sorry to hear this. Wishing you a smooth hospital stay and speedy recovery. I hope you are able to surround yourself with support. Take care and all the best wishes for when you start trying again.

9po negative as well today. The angel/devil thing is sooo accurate. Kept promising myself I wouldn't test this month but here we are.

Af has just turned up full force right on time , so I'm out again i hate this feeling

With the Clearblue weeks digis it's all a bit approximate. I think the weeks are meant to be read as from conception, but the different readings are triggered by different levels of HCG, so 1-2 weeks is based on 10miu, 2-3 weeks is based on 153miu etc. They can vary a bit from woman to woman, pregnancy to pregnancy and of course urine dilution, hence why it's a bit approximate.

I'm now 9dpo and of course I got a BFN. I hate this stage in my cycle. It's like I have the devil and angel on each shoulder:

Angel: 9dpo is meaningless- too early to count yourself out. You DTD on O-2 and one sperm is all it takes. Maybe Dry January and the cough medicine you've been taking for your rotten virus will have made all the difference. Plus Sod's Law - Oasis in September wouldn't it ideal if you've caught this cycle.

Devil: it's been 37 cycles of nothing. Why should this one be different? Yes, you DTD on O-2, but you've never had any joy this time on the cycles when you managed O day itself, O-1 and/or the entire fertile period, so why get hopeful about this cycle?

I wish I could squash the Angel tbh. I hate the false hope against all likelihood/experience...

I think the clear blue go from implantation as my last pregnancy was 1/2 weeks and when I went for my scan that worked , they say you can exercise as normal so I don't know about that side of it but I think as long as it's not bright red and clots then all should be fine , I'm not going to bother saying keep calm don't over think as we are women and it's in our dna to

Is it just when you wipe or is it on a pad as well ? My positive thoughts are with you and sending you all the good vibes

That’s all we can do isn’t it, just take it month by month no matter how hard it is, it will happen for all of us soon, so sorry to hear about your little boy xx

My fingers are crossed for your will power and for a big bfp for you

I’m due on Sunday/ Monday and going to try holding off until at least Tuesday if my period doesn’t start.

Thank you im preparing for af but hoping for a bfp , since losing my baby boy in July we haven't had a hint of luck so to save heart ache im just taking it month by month , well done for holding out until Tuesday fingers crossed for you, I had been using Internet cheap ones but the reviews are awful so I have one clear blue for Sunday if af doesn't show up tomorrow

Good luck to you, I hope you get your bfp, I am due on Tuesday, I have one clearblue early detection digital, if af doesn’t arrive Tuesday I will take it Wednesday (I imagine it will arrive but here’s to hoping) it’s going to feel like a long wait x

That's sounds like a real up hill battle you have been having, sorry for your loss.
we are all at different stages of our cycles im due af tomorrow and im still logging in at points during the week 😁 to see if others have there bfp or still waiting

@YKM2829 congratulations x

@MakeMeJuno same here - I had a really good feeling this month nausea all week but AF arrived yesterday. Gutted as this takes us into cycle #12

Really thought this month was my month but AF due today/tomorrow and still stark BFN!

Hi I’d love to join, are people still posting in this thread or should I be looking for another? Currently CD 21 (my cycles are 25 days) bit of a back story, we had a missed miscarriage back in June 2023, babies heart stopped at 12 weeks, had no luck since, I had a scan on Monday to check my uterus/ ovaries etc as I am under the miscarriage clinic at the hospital, I had specific bloods taken etc, however Monday I was on cycle day 17 and she said it looked like I was about to ovulate (late for me as I usually ovulate cycle day 11) she didn’t seem concerned and said everything looked good and healthy, obviously I am concerned why I hadn’t ovulated already and thinking how can I ovulate so late when my cycles are only 25 days, I’ve been googling (shouldn’t have) it’s saying late ovulation could mean poor egg quality so now got myself in a bit of a flap, I havnt been tracking ovulation as this just stresses me out and I’m trying to stay as chill as possible, I won’t be early testing either as I have lost hope where its been so long trying since the missed miscarriage (over a year and a half) sorry I’m rambling now, lovely to see a few of you with positive tests, I really hope I do get one soon xx

Hello and welcome! May this be a cycle filled with baby dust and that you get your bfp before too long
My dd is 14 months old and breastfed and ill be honest, i think it is causing some issues. Its the 2nd cycle im tracking and I dont think I ovulated this cycle plus the one before i had a v short luteal phase. These problems can be connected to bf.
Please i dont mean to discourage you, we are all made so differently
Are you tracking at all? Xx

Hello, joining in 👋

Ttc baby #2, first cycle.

I knew immediately I was pregnant with DD. Haven't got that definate feeling this time but already symptom spotting, even though it's wayyyy too early.

I never test until my period is late so will be following along with everyone else while I'm in the tww.

I'm still breastfeeding (3.5yrs later!) so hoping that won't cause any issues 🤞.

So lovley to see lots of BFPs on here already this month.
