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 ✨🎅🏼

Hi all, 6dpo here. Really trying to chill out this month and not read all the threads every day but thought I’d check in. Had my first fertility clinic phone call, seems like they want to do lots of tests but I’m hoping for a miracle in the meantime.

Speaking of symptoms, the past two months I’ve had what you would swear are implantation cramps, enough to make me gasp out loud! But each time, AF has arrived as expected.

I did have a chemical a few months ago, looking back the only symptom I had was getting unexpectedly emotional/teary when I saw my lovely nephews - at 6dpo - but equally this could just have been nothing! I’m certainly not feeling emotional today, just tired and a bit fed up

Best of luck to everyone testing this week

Hey ladies, bit of a tmi question but has anyone else had ovulation spotting before? I've never had it but am 2 days post ovulation and have just noticed I'm spotting. No idea if it's normal or not! I don't think it can be a sign of anything as way too early surely? Knew I'd drive myself crazy this month!

@BabyBird20 hi, I've never experienced ovulation spotting. Is it possible you ovulated earlier than you thought and that's implantation bleeding? Usually occurs 6 plus dpo so maybe timing is off.

Thanks @Waldoyle, I had a flashing smiley on Monday which went static on Tuesday so don't think it could be implantation yet. Just seemed strange as never had it before! Maybe from dtd too much over the last four days 😬

@BabyBird20 maybe so. Best of luck this month 🤞

AF due tomorrow 😬 so far no day before headache which I almost always get so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Good luck @newjourney21 xxx Let us know!

How's everyone getting on..i'm about 11dpo..slight change in CM and occasional cramping..no major..i didn't have any spotting in my pregnancy..has anyone used the hcg strips for earlier testing? I might on the weekend as due on 14th!

Hi girls, hope the tww is treating you well! My Af is due Sunday, but I tested with first response Tuesday, got a very faint line, tested again Wednesday and Thursday night with again FR and tried asda early detection, and its confirmed my BFP! I was gonna keep it a secret until xmas day for OH but got carried away and ran straight to him! Symptom wise, I had cramps yesterday and lower back pain, nausea, no sore boobs or implantation bleeding, never really saw a change in CM, keep hope ladies! Sending baby dust to you all Xx

@Hayls07
Congrats!!!! ✨✨✨
It’s good to keep it a secret the first couple of months :))
Throw some baby dust our way pleaaase!

Day 7 or 8 post ovulation here, woke up with some dull pain in my lower abdomen. It won’t go away :)) I feel it where the blue dot is. The internet doesn’t want to show me an actual photo of where the implantation pain occurs :))

Thanks @alexalexalex18 got everything crossed for you!! I hope its implantation pain for you sounds about the right time for it! Xxx

@Hayls07 huge congrats wonderful news for Christmas.

Any advice from anyone. I was due AF two days ago, its been 1 week tonight since I had what I think was implantation bleeding and cramps, still getting bfn though. It is possible hcg would be too low too detect at this stage? Getting so confused 😕

@Hayls07 congratulations that’s so exciting! I am still around time of ovulation I think but no real clue as I had a miscarriage in Oct and 5 weeks between that and my previous period so not sure how long this cycle is. Just having sex often and hoping for the best!
@alexalexalex18 deffo could be fingers crossed🤞

@Waldoyle is it possible you ovulated later than you thought?

@frenchie4002 - it's possible. But I definately had very light spotting last Friday night and light cramps for a few hours afterwards which I was convinced was IB. Was feeling nauseous for a few days after that. The nausea has eased but I would have thought if it was IB last week then I should show positive by now. Its very unlike me to be late so all the signs have been there but the bfn is killing me!!

@Hayls07 did you experience implantation pain? if yes, where? :)) and if you had implantation bleeding, when did it appear, the same day or after?

@Cmacq32 did you experience it with your previous pregnancies?

@alexalexalex18 not implantation with pregnancies #1 & 3 (my daughter) but implantation bleeding with #2 (it was light cramping and pink diluted CM for a few days after.

I'm 7/8DPO today and I had very light cramping yesterday, I've got a sore head today but I've also had a nightmare night with DD and daddy has buggered off to Glasgow for a Christmas work thing. 😴😴😴
How are you feeling today?

@Hayls07
Huge congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰😍😘 super exciting. Hopfully see you on the thread for expecting. Xx

@Cmacq32
I’ve had crazy dreams for the past 2 nights :))
Woke up with this weird cramp on my lower middle to right side. It’s still there but not as sore, just like a dull ache, kind of radiating towards my very low areas and right ovary.
Was lightheaded yesterday and had some headache the day before.
The thing is I only get cramps before my period and AF should come next friday (hope it doesn’t).
My basal temperature was 36,87 today so still high. No idea what’s happening, def feeling the pain more towards my ovary now.
Starting to get anxious, I really want this month to be the one with a BFP.

@Cmacq32
where did you feel the cramping with preg. #2?

@alexalexalex18 aww man I can tell how much this means to you... To all of us wanting our babies. You've done all you can and hopefully will be this month 🤞🤞🤞

My cramping was just like period pain, a dull twinge but less so than a period. I knew I was pregnant both times way before I got my BFP. I coukd tell from the fatigue as its an abnormal feeling for me. But I tested 11, 12 and 13 days po and only get my positive on 13 so I realised there's no point in worrying about it. I've used the flo app for 3 years so I have great notes from previous pregnancies and logged all my symptoms!

Opinions please? I think I can see something but not sure. This is the rapid response ones that I've seen people say not to use. Also my first time using these so not sure about evap lines. 🤦‍♀️

@Cmacq32
I don’t feel fatigued, don’t have backpain, don’t feel nauseous :(
Trying to keep positive but one more week of
waiting feels unbearable.
I wish conceiving would be more technical and precise, like going to the dentist :))
Well I guess there’s FIV, but it should be free :))

@Glago2017

I thought everyone says to use these ones, pink dye first response.
I can’t tell if it’s a fine line or indent or evaporation.
Maybe repeat tomorrow?

Wow, the rapid response ones aren’t at all sensitive, so the fact you have quite a clear line there is surely really encouraging?! Can you get a first response one to check?
