TTC December 2018

[90mammasophie]

This is our fourth month TTC baby number 2. Would love a bfp result just before Christmas :) of course unlikely, but here's to hoping!! My fertile few days starts tomorrow .. and then the dreaded two week wait from next week. If anyone would like to go through this month's journey, ups and downs, it would be nice to have some company. And some TTC top tips and advice for the 2ww. I felt very down after my last negative result in November. Good luck to anyone in the same boat . Let's hope for an extra special Xmas surprise.

@agteacht I've had light cramping randomly on and off the past few days. Mostly in my left but some in the right. If I'm 11DPO that would explain why my prior test was a BFN. I'm going to wait until Tuesday which is when the second app predicts AF and test with FMU. Hoping my temp might go back up tomorrow morning and it's a implantation dip wishful thinking? When are you testing?

It could well be @KernowBee - I'm not temping but might try that next month if it comes to that.
So what dpo did you originally think you were?

The cramping could be a good sign.

When I was pregnant before we had only just started trying so I wasn't paying enough attention to dates. When I tested I was already 7 days late (oh how times have changed and now I test far too early 😂)

Anyway over that week I had cramps the whole time, so was expecting AF. So my limited experience is that cramps are a positive sign, however also clearly easily confused with AF itself!

Unfortunately AF has started earlier. Gutted :(
January it is so...

Sorry to hear this agteacht x

@agteacht hugs!

Ladies I have questions... what's OPK?

I have tried using FR Ovulation tests once before and started again this week; Because I had a very short cycle last month and the instructions say to test according to the shortest cycle in 6 months.

After one dodgy test yesterday (I can't even tell you what I did in my state of stupor at silly AM) today I got a flashing smiley face. Which would suggest ovulation is close- but how?! It's only cycle day 8/9?

Why does this mission have to be so complicated 🧐

@whoatemytwix .... I started testing on the recommend cycle day for a 30 day cycle and it has not shown a smiley face. I am now on cycle day 19 so am wondering whether I ovulated early. It is very complicated isn’t it!! I would definitely DTD just incase.

Hi can I join TTC #2 dunno what cycle but I'm cd 14 apparently ovulating today but have DTD the past 4 days and early hours of this morning so fingers crossed. Would it be worth DTD the next two days just incase or will I have missed my chance if I've ovulated today?

Hello!

I am new here, but have been creeping around in the shadows for many months... finding out lots of very useful information. So thought it was finally time to join the convo!

We are TTC #1 - and after months of being casual and just hoping it would happen, I am now getting veeeery serious!!

I am nearly 35 so quite old to be trying. Due on the 1st Jan, so probs gonna test on New Year’s Eve.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone! 🤗

@tinatsarina

Totally worth BDing today! The 24hours after ovulation is prime time.

Have fun!! 😜

Ok so almost a week late finally got a positive OPK so I guess have to DTD as much as possible and the 2ww starts here - last month my period came exactly 2 weeks after my positive OPK!

@agteacht I'm out also. See you on the January post? x

Is there a January post already? Guess I won't know til January I'm cd 26 so guess I'm in for a long cycle this month!!

@Boo2you @KernowBee
Sorry to hear you both are out too. Making my way to the January post...

I am also out! Is there a January group already going?
