TTC DECEMBER 2021 🎅🏼

[SantiagoSister]

Hi all, just thought I’d make a lead on thread from the TTC NOVEMBER 2021 group for us all to continue on. Wishing you the best of luck for a lovely little Christmas miracle ✨🎅🏼

@Cmacq32 can you tag it please.

Does anyone know if there's a January thread? x

@Cmacq32

Has everyone who has had a BFP jumped into the August due date thread? If not I can tag it xx

Oh could I get the link please! Xx

So I just went ti the bathroom before bed and, sorry for the details, saw pink spotting on the tp.
I have a little but of backpain but it doesn’t feel like period.
I don’t want to get my hopes high as my AF is due anytime starting with Thursday but maybe I’m bot out yet?
Day 12 or 11 po.

So sorry for the typos 😅

So sorry for being a bit MIA but like @Natalie2304 I'm trying not to let this take over my life!

I'm 10/11 dpo and I did this test this morning, me & my husband think we can see a faint line but trying not to get our hopes up!

Thoughts?

Looks positive to me @MummyBear405

Day 12, negative FRER. No symptoms either, so I am considering myself out this month and will move to the Jan thread.

(Next fertile window predicted to be 27-30 Dec (assuming AF arrives on Sunday) so I will be following @Purple29’s plan and keeping everything crossed!)

Congrats to all the lucky posters this month

Is there a January thread set up? My ovulation sticks arrived yesterday I ordered a hundred 😂 so tonight will be working out my days in cycle as it hurts my head and then like you said @Decaffe try and follow @Purple29 suggestions. I'm open to anything right now, just keep getting everyone saying you need to relax and it will happen... I don't know how I can relax when it's the most important thing, it's all I've ever wanted to be a mum so when it's not happening it's frightening.
But will try to be positive sorry xxx

Morning all. I've got a rather specific q I wonder if anyone can help with?? I'm using natural cycles and clearblue ovulation sticks. This is the first month ive used the sticks and I've had flashing smileys the past three days. I've put each one into natural cycles as a positive LH result, but I think natural cycles only works to the sticks that give you 2 positive days rather than 4 (like clearblue does), so it's bought my ovulation day 3 days earlier than it previously was. Wondered if anyone's had this with natural cycles before? Perhaps it's better not to input the stick data into NC??

It doesn't matter too much tbh as I'm gonna use the day 11,13,15 approach anyway, but would like to get my app predictions nailed if poss.... Any advice appreciated

@Brunette1989 ah my heart goes out to you. It is so difficult!! But it will happen I'm sure. Just to manage your expectations, last month I was absolutely convinced I was pregnant and got some mild brown spotting just before AF was due which all fit, but then AF came the next day. This might not be what's happening for you but I was so disappointed so good to try and manage our expectations! I am told spotting is actually quite rare... Fingers and toes crossed for you

@Tor88

I had spotting last night, light pink, and I have no idea of it's spotting or implantation bleeding.
My spotting is always brown and with little clogs, this one was very different.
Natural Cycles says my AF is due on Friday.
I'm in day 12 or 13 post ovulation.

I've been so stressed I just want to keep believing I still have a chance :(
I don't know when I should use my only remaining First Response Early Result test.
And I pee so often it's always diluted, almost clear.
Maybe I should try hold it for 3h now and check?
Or wait till Friday..

@Decaffe thanks for replying!

So sorry that you're not feeling very hopeful this month! I've found preparing for the worst and hoping for the best helps ... sending lots of baby dust your way xx

I never usually see the lines when people ask but I can deffo see one here! Congrats sweetie xx

@Cmacq32
AF is definitely about to come :(

I'm out and feeling very deflated about it 😞

Morning ladies. So sorry so many of us seem to be feeling a bit down at the moment, I'm right here with you too feeling quite down. I don't understand my cycles at all. I've attached a screenshot of my premom app my levels keep fluctuating so much. I'm getting flashing smiley faces on CB every morning for the last 4 days now too but my apps had ovulation predicted for monday/Tuesday just gone. I'm going to keep trying to DTD every other day but I'm just worried I'm not ovulating at all... 😔

@HRHXO I'm experiencing a v similar issue!

App predicted ovulation for this coming Saturday but I started getting flashing smileys on mon so input into app and it bought ovulation forward by like 5 days, but now I've had flashing smileys for 4 days straight so my app keeps moving it back a day! V confusing, but I'm wondering if inputting lh results into the app is actually not that helpful?! I'm also going for the dtd every other day and hope for the best approach!

Are you also taking your temp? Because a spike then dip can also show you when you ovulated. I'm sure you are ovulating but the sticks are making things confusing!! I'm also tracking my CM to see if that helps clarify, but that's been a bit confusing this month too as got a bit of 'egg white' two days ago which should mean ovu is here (right??), but still no static smiley... It's a minefield!!

@Tor88 hi, thanks for replying! It's so confusing isn't it! I've been temping too but cautiously as I tend to have restless nights and usually wake up a few times around 3-5am which might effect things even though I always get up around 6-7am here's my chart anyway, the top line is temp and bottom is my cheap opk sticks levels. I'm CD16 and app thinks 2DPO but who knows!

@HRHXO I'm guessing you ovulated Tues/Wed then?? Major respect for the amount of dtd you've accomplished this week 👌👌 I think between the temps and the sticks there's lots of things that could put them out of whack (sleep, stress, hormones etc) so it's probably all fine and best to guestimate ovulation day based on number of cycles days and CM? thats my tactic anyway since I seem doomed never to get that static smiley!!

@Tor88 thanks so much for your input you've put my mind at ease a little! I sleep terribly some nights and I'm always really well hydrated so you're probably right about all the factors at play. Really hope we all get BFPs soon 🥰

So after a rocky first month off the pill I am now CD35 and have had my highest OPK readings today! Fingers crossed ovulation within the next day or so then the wait for AF continues! Still keeping my hopes high for this month my body has played a lot of tricks on me this month

@alexalexalex18ah so sorry. Did AF arrive. Just checking your doing OK, it's so disappointing 😞😘
