Hi everyone, just starting up a board for those of us thinking of TTC this month 😊 This is our first month TTC number 3. I just turned 40 so it's unlikely to happen quickly if at all, but we've decided to give it a couple of months just to leave it to fate! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

As it gets closer to my AF due date (Saturday) the more I feel pms so I'm slowly losing hope for this week.
I had a BFN yesterday and Monday on an early test and have one of those left so will take that on Friday and then I have lots of normal tests so I can take one of those at the weekend if AF hasn't arrived by then (unlikely)

I definitely see a shadow but it could be an indent 🤔

That's exciting! Have you tested today?

Not sure what to think, not very hopeful. I definitely see a second line but know frer can be a nightmare for indents.

What are we thinking? Is this just an indent 😢😢

Just thought I’d update on my positive test, turned out to be a chemical pregnancy as my HCG levels dropped so just waiting for my cycle to start again x

Really sorry to hear that 😞

@Jess1898 I'm really sorry. Chemical pregnancies are so crushing, I've had a couple as well. I hope you're ok.

@TupATea oh I'm so sorry, missed miscarriages are so devastating. I can't quite see a line on the test but you're early still!

Still a negative for me this morning and AF due in 2 days so I'm pretty sure I'm out 🤷‍♀️ At least I can drink over Christmas though!!

Hi! Yes, think it could just be my eyes 😬 we’ll see.

So sorry to hear you’ve been through the same - it’s awful. I didn’t have a D+C but I had the evac/vacuum thing? Still in hospital under GA.

I got my period 4.5 weeks after I had the surgery - I did have about a week of bad cramping leading up to it and never knowing if it was coming or not but then had a normal-like period and got a negative test at 3 weeks post surgery. I don’t know how long it takes for your body to totally be back at ‘neutral’ if you know what I mean. I had weird EWCM with pink streaks in it leading up to ovulation which I’d normally not get so it’s a bit of a mystery as to what is actually going on.

hope you get yours soon because at least then you’ll feel like things have reset and you can try again xx

Thanks for sharing 🙂I hope it happens soon, I started getting creamy CM so I'll hopefully get my period still this year 🤣

Anya23 · 09/12/2025 11:10

Welcome. Not sure I see a faint line but it's still very early 😊can I ask if you had a D&C? If so, when did your period return? 🫣I had it two weeks ago and I thought I was ovulating last week because of symptoms and strong tests, but I realised it's just showing the leftover hcg so I've got no idea when I'll return to normal

Hi 👋 can I join?!

TTC #2. We have DD3 and got pregnant (so much quicker than first time) in August. Sadly this ended in a devastating MMC (found out at 11 week scan) in October. This is my first cycle post MMC and I’m CD26, thinking I’m 8/9dpo (unsure of exact day I ovulated). Have had some symptoms inc heavier feeling boobs and (tmi) some colostrum-like discharge from one boob when pressed. Exact same thing happened last cycle I got pregnant (however I don’t normally squeeze my boobs so who knows if this would happen all the time 😆🤣). Also had some cramping on/off over last few days, especially last night and this morning. I also got this both previous pregnancies.

I did do a strip test this morning with FMU and part of me thinks I can see a vvv faint line - but also been here so many times before so know I could be kidding myself.

Thoughts on this test?!

I know it’s early anyway so not trying to attach too much to anything (ha! Easier said than done). Sending positive thoughts for BFPs 🥰

7dpo here and the desire to test is so strong despite knowing it's too early! Why are we like this?!

Ttcbabyward · 09/12/2025 08:21

So I caved and tested yesterday at 9dpo at it was a stark white BFN! however I'm aware that it's still very early! Will test again on Friday when I should be 13dpo! Hoping I'm still in with a chance this cycle!

Thomsonetthompson · 09/12/2025 07:59

Sorry to hear of all the negative tests. Though nobody is out till AF arrives!

I'm CD13 and we're doing SMEP this month so still got a way to go. I've started drinking beetroot juice (disgusting) and wearing thick socks all the time. Even a myth that might boost my chances by 1% I'll take at this point. Is there anything else that people do during the fertile window?

Washingmachine22 · 09/12/2025 07:54

Hi everyone just checking in, currently 11dpo and bfn this morning. Only cycle 2 ttc number 3, the first two were unplanned (12 and 2) so I very wrongly assumed this would happen easily enough for me but perhaps age is now a factor as I'm 36 and my partner is 48. Just waiting for AF to arrive Friday. Wishing you all the best of luck this month ❤️

I had negatives at about 11dpo today! It's so weird because I feel pregnant! I didn't get my positive with DS2 until 14dpo so there's still a chance..

Hope it turns positive for you x

Hey @spamOFtheDAY ! It’s still early so I definitely wouldn’t count yourself out !

im 7dpo today woke up tasting iron. Brushed my teeth, had a drink and then had a cup of tea as I usually would. The tea has left the worst sour/metal aftertaste in my mouth its rancid 😩😂
