TTC March / April

Just continuing our thread so we don't get knocked off the old one!

Haha I didn't read it that way @minthumbugs don't worry! 😁

I'm hopeful that this little friend will stick, but partner and I are remaining realistic until darker lines/scans etc.

Do you think you might ovulate early? Done any OPKs?

If this friend sticks around I'll be having a December baby! This sounds silly, but I never imagined I'd have anyone in the family with a December birthday 🤔😅

@minthumbugs I think if I catch one this month due date would be two days after Christmas! We had originally planned to stop trying this month but with such irregular cycles we don’t want to risk it...

Massive congratulations to all these BFPs!

@Laurashakey Funny you should mention not wanting to get pregnant as you have a new puppy... with my DD we picked up our puppy on the Friday and I found out I was pregnant on the Monday so yeah, that was fun training him and having morning sickness!

The downside to me not using OPKS/temping etc. is I don't actually know how many DPO I am so I don't know when to test. I'm on CD21, FW was 18th-23rd. I suppose I should just wait to see if AF arrives but that's no fun. When is the earliest a BFP might show up?

@Charm23 mine showed up 8dpo VERY VERY VERY faint, 9dpo you can see my line a lot better (pics below in the thread). Perhaps getting a puppy is the key to success 😉

@minthumbugs

I've had a huge dip in temp today - CD13. My app is predicting O day as CD18 but I know it probably won't happen until CD21. Weird!

Is anyone else in the same boat as me that if you catch the egg this month you'll be due the week of Christmas? X

You're my cycle twin this month sweetheart! The strange thing today was my Femometer app changed the day I ovulated which I've never had this before as I've not done anything and now it's saying that I'm 13 DPO I've had a history of 12/13/14 LP day cycles, I've had 11 at 14 😂 so I'm gonna aim to test after Wednesday to save any upset, I've had a temp increase this morning which it's been the highest at this cycle! Which I find strange, I just feel crampy that AF is gonna be around the corner! I've actually be looking into having a private fertility scan which costs 150, which I was thinking if I pay for that and I'm fine & if I can push my GP for blood work, it just would leave my DH the only one not investigated if all my bits and bobs add up to be okay which could save us time if we reach that 1 TTC mark 🙈 I'll attach my cycle for the tiny Teeny sprinkle of hope although I'm expecting mine to dip tomorrow as it does each time 🙈 although last cycle was a 12 day LP phase 🧐 who knows✨

@Halpmer

9/10dpo - line definitely there now which means I've progressed since yesterday's super faint squinter. Still early days, but something to have hope for!

Eeeeek congratulations sweetheart there's deffo that second line there 🥰🌈🤞🏻❤️

@KatieLooLa loving the reading especially with it being around your birthday darling! I love seeing fertility readings it's my guilty pleasure with the TTC if anyone have any truth behind what they predict 🥰🤞🏻🌈

@Halpmer did a cheap OPK yesterday and there was nothing there at all! Very strange, I'm not going to stress myself about it. Last month I was stressed to the max about not getting anything on OPKs and doing it every day but I'm just going to chill and start with the CB ones at some point later in the week. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

Oh @Kitty0389 maybe this will be our month and we could be due date twins, here's hoping eh? 🤞🏻

@Charm23 I think they say you can test two weeks after FW but I think the sensitive tests might be a little bit earlier. Maybe some point next week for you? X

@kaylsd that chart looks exciting! What's involved in the private scan? Hopefully you don't need it 💐

@kaylsd who knows, I take these things with a pinch of salt. Be nice if it does happen then, be the best birthday present ever x

Good luck @minthumbugs 😁

Thanks @kaylsd very exciting times!

@minthumbugs Just checked Ovia app and it says another 7 days before I should test. Urgh. Need to keep my mind off testing...

So using BBT I think I may have ovulated now, maybe yesterday or day before as I have had a sharp rise three days in a row. Flo still has me down as ovulating tomorrow, so we’ll see! Haven’t had much opportunity to actually dtd as dc brought home an absolute stinker of a cold from nursery which led to separate beds to actually get sleep bloody children, not sure why ttc another one!! 😂 still managed to get a few sessions in over the past few days, and it only takes one sperm so I guess the odds are still there!

Congrats to everyone who is getting their BFP! And good luck to all those trying!

I’ve started a private Facebook group for December due dates! If anyone wants to join pop me a PM with your name and what your profile picture is so I can add you :)

Oh no @Charm23 - maybe an early one would show up mid week? How are you getting on?

@awarsewolf who would have them 🤣🤷‍♀️ hopefully you've caught the egg this time even with everything going on 🤞🏻

@Halpmer @minthumbugs @CycloGoose @KatieLooLa and all the other lovely ladies!

Today is day of AF day... no AF 🙃🙃🙃 no symptoms as such slight increase of CM but not huge amounts and slight cramping as AF would be on its way and no temp dip!! Will attach chart, trying not to think too much into it but :o slight excitement right now

Not aiming to test until a couple of days past as I've had a long cycle before & I litterally wasted like over 30 HPT thinking I could be when really it was a anovulatory 🙈 ahhhh the suspense factor right now is killing me wonder what my outcome will be! Will keep you guys posted 🤞🏻✨

I'm so excited for you @kaylsd! I have a really good feeling. Good idea on the testing, a safe bet is to wait a few days past your longest cycle (they say) and I know you've had a super long one so keep us posted!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💐💐💐

@kaylsd oooh exciting times! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻 X

No idea where I am DPO wise, CD 19 though. As I had AF early not sure exactly when I’m due on so my thoughts are if no AF by the time I finish the pregnacare conception tablets I’ll test then. Only symptoms is a little cramping and a lot of farting 😂

@kaylsd I think that BBT chart looks promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 let us know when you test!

@KatieLooLa I had slight cramps and lots of farts 😂. Thing that has caught me by surprise is the heartburn!

@kaylsd thanks for the tag! Omg I don't think I've posted since page 8 and it's page 18!
I'll have to wait for a quiet moment and have a good long read and catch up!
I've got everything crossed that youve made your little birthday hot tub wizard of Oz theme baby! Sounds like good signs so far but you're doing so well not getting your hopes up too soon!
I'm so hopeful for you!
My HCG came down to zero and I've had another bleed which I'm now going to call AF so I'm on cycle day 4 of cycle 8 now!
At least I should now get fertile week when we're both on holiday and hoping that's the lucky theme.

So much love for you chick. Xxxx

@CycloGoose how have you been? This thread has been flying by! Glad to see you back. Xx

@minthumbugs I'm doing okay, it's a lot easier this time around with DD to keep me occupied!

@kaylsd Ohhh exciting, I've got my fingers crossed for you! x

Earlier I was on the loo and realised that I have been spotting - very peculiar as I am only on CD23 and not expecting AF until around 04/04.... implantation bleeding??? If it stops then I'm guessing it was. I had some spotting when I got pregnant with DD so maybe!?

I'm okay @minthumbugs been really busy with DIY in the house!

How are you? I feel really rude like I've missed loads! Need to trawl through all the pages but I've got so much to do!

@kaylsd I've literally been waiting with baited breath for you to post 🤣
You're so strong not testing well done!
When it gets to test day id recommend getting FRER so then there's literally no questions about the result because they're so sensitive. Can get them next day on Amazon!
@CycloGoose bet you're excited about Easter hols! Lovely timing with FW too, if you're back in that headspace. How are you feeling about it all?
Hope everyone's enjoying this lovely sun!x

@els10 how are you doing you gorgeous lady? Nice to hear from you.

I'm so glad it's the hols and I have been super productive in the house so been on a nice long walk in the sunshine today. Will get cracking when the sun goes in. So glad that I've had a dodgy 16 day inbetweeney cycle because otherwise it was looking like even with a big long holiday FW would be when it is school time. Definitely feel ready to go again now. It feels like the right time for us. The MC has actually really helped us to talk about it all a bit more and now we've got this blessed break I think we're just in a better frame of mind generally.
It has been a long term trying to keep the kids spirits up from home whilst (we both work at private schools) trying to make our offering different enough and on point enough so that we don't have to reduce fees because we'd be going under if we did!
Aaaaand relax xxx

Omg. World's biggest bumbly bee 🐝 just flew in as I was writing this. Bumble bees are my sign!
