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 ✨🎅🏼

@Glago2017

Got my peak OPK on Sunday (CD17) and think I ovulated in the early hours of this morning when I was up with my poorly DD. Managed to dtd on CD13, CD15 and CD17. Was going to Try and dtd tonight but DD has been sick and clingy all day so cuddles it was. 🤞 we have done enough. Let the TTW commence.

Following on from my post the other day i wonder if anyone else has been in the same situation? I think I ovulated in the early hours of Monday morning as I felt heavy with some twinges. I had a little EWCM on Friday, quite a lot on Sunday morning and have just had some again tonight? My OPK's have went back to low. So my question is, do you think I ovulate on Monday morning and has anyone else experienced EWCM after ovulation? X

Hi everyone, nice to see some familiar faces from the November thread :) have been having lots of crazy AF-like symptoms today and it's CD18. Hoping it means something positive and will now just be waiting out until AF arrives! Wishing everyone baby dust for December x

Hey everyone. Haven’t joined one of these threads before so thought I’d give it a whirl. On cycle 14 here, feeling less hopeful each month. We have our first appointment with the fertility clinic in 2 weeks after initial tests suggest all okay. So this cycle feels precious as maybe one of the last attempts before we might need some extra help! On 4 DPO - DTD on day 11,13,14,15. Got my static smiley OPK on day 14, so should have all bases covered. But we’ve had all bases covered for many cycles before. Wishing you all luck this cycle.

@Sunrise321 thank you for your reply, fingers crossed for you! When will you be testing this month?

Hi @Everythingcrossed2021 and @newjourney21 both positive sounding this month so hopefully December is your time! X

Is it ok to join? Ttc #2 on the 4 cycle and just started using the ovulation sticks..are you ladies finding it useful? It was showing ovulation 2days earlier than i thought!

@Sunrise321 not long to go then!

@Justkeepswimming20 I haven’t used them but would be interested to know if they helped! I’m all over the place in terms of cycle from a miscarriage but if I haven’t fallen pregnant again by Jan/Feb then I will try them out I think.

Hi all, new to this but have been having a look through the posts since TTC after got married in July! Hoping to pick up some tips and share experiences along the way 😊

Anyone with irregular periods that goes a month or two with out them please let me know I’m the only one I’m losing hope at this point dr won’t see me until a year of trying

Hi, not personally no but I have some friends where this is the case, two of whom have had babies!

Hi all, my first post ever! 😊

I am kind of new to this tycoon journey. We were casually trying since March and only recently got serious about it. But I have been having some stomach issues since July. And that is when I had a chemical too. I never knew I was pregnant. Anyway, for the first time I got a pack of opls and decided to track my ovulation after my periods. Flo app tells me I should have ovulated on the 22nd (Monday) of Nov but I did have a pinkish bleed on the 18th morning (Thursday). I was also suffering from thrush at that time (was on antibiotics for h pylori). So not sure if thrush could cause pinkish bleed? My gp wasn't concerned and prescribed gel for it. It settled down in next couple of days.

My confusion is- I started testing for my ovulation on the 21st (Sunday) and had a faint line.. which got fainter with time. Is it possible I missed the window for Nov? My af is due in 5 days. I do have on-off sore boobs which I never get before my periods. However, am trying not to symptom spot.

Hi, I never got on well with those ovulation strips so switched to the digital ones which I find much clearer and reliable, as they match my app and physiologically too

Hi All,

Cycle 2 for #1. I'm new to TTC however have been tracking my cycles religiously for 5 years (no hormonal birth control in that time) and I strongly suspect I have low progesterone for a couple of reasons -

• I have a short lutheal phase, usually 8-9 days
• for 2/3 days before period 'flow' I have spotting
• my cycles used to average 33+ days (although are now between 28-30, but with spotting)
• My 'peak' OPK this month was only 0.76 (although that was 11pm at night so could have peaked more during the night.

I do have a very high BMI which I know will be impacting this, I've lost 3 1/2 stone so far this year leading up to TTC, however do need to continue losing significantly.

Just wondered if anyone has had similar symptoms and had successful pregnancies? Anything else you'd recommend to boost progesterone or increase lutheal phase?

Thanks in advance ☺️

I've been having AF like symptoms for 3 days now.....cramping, headache, tiredness yet AF not due for at least another 8 days. Has anyone with a bfp experienced this? Really hoping it means something positive and not just my body acting strange first month off the pill! I'm supposedly 5DPO.

I've been having some cramping (not as intense as AF), thought it could be implantation cramping. However I did a test today, and BFN 👎🏾
I'm 10dpo btw

@newjourney21 I had all that when pregnant. Test when you’re due AF. Good luck!

@gvs97 oh really, that's good to hear. ahhh I'm so nervous! Yes I will be testing next week, just thought 5DPO was so early to be getting any symptoms.

It seems we ovulated on the same day! When do you plan on testing??

@htay21 I have been having issues with my periods past two three months now! My doc isn't concerned at all. It all started with a stomach issue in July end. Past two months my periods are short, pink/red watery with no clots and either early or late (within a weeks range though). So I have no clue what's going on with my body! Trust me, I have had all the pregnancy symptoms but that was because of h pylori! It took 2-3 since July to detect this because I was on omeprazole and it hides the bacteria when you are taking it. Lol

Anyway, I spoke with my gp and she ran some tests- harmonies and beta hcg and all as I said my periods were very short and pinkish. Hcg came back negative! She said, it could be stress, stomach issue, hormones acting up! So track my ovulation, I bought some cheapies in Nov just around when I was supposed to ovulate (22nd Nov- Monday). I tested on Sunday (bought it on Saturday evening) and it's been faint ever since.. am in my tww period right now and my at is due in 4 days. I do have twinges here and there, mild headaches, heartburn, on and off sore boobs but am trying hard not to symptom spot. I am convincing myself that it's all my stomach issue and it could be! This is honestly driving me crazy!!

Congratulations on losing weight! 😊 am trying to focus on the positives and asking my gp for a gyneac check referral. My stomach issue (other than h pylori) could be linked to gyneac issue as well? Who knows?

@ttcbabya hi hun, am thinking I will wait until my at arrives! I have a feeling an not pregnant, although have been having some symptoms! I have been getting negatives since august now. :( funny thing is, my stomach problem has been giving me pregnancy like symptoms too. Have had hcg blood tests past Theo three regularly and all negatives!! Sometimes I feel like it's not going to be easy for me..

@ttcbabya 10 dpo could be early? Wait for a few days. When is your at due?
