January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

[Roxybabe]

New thread for the ladies who are TTC from late Dec/Jan!! Best of luck to you all ❤️

@2021lady that sounds quite promising, it's such an agonising wait isn't it! Like others have said on precious threads why can't we know straight away and not have the awful wait where we practically put our life on hold and think of nothing else!

Because I had a subchorionic hematoma with my last pregnancy and unfortunately miscarried, I've been googling everything to do with that too and joined a couple of groups on fb. I'm an avid gym goer and during the tww for the past 2 months I've not gone because I'm scared it will have an affect on implantation. It's controlling my life and as much as I hate it I'd hate it even more if I'd carried on and got pregnant resulting in another sch even if it weren't related i would find blame. We don't half go through it as women!

@ELJ1502 @Knov20 can I be TWW buddies with you guys? I peaked yesterday 🙂

@ttcat37 how are you feeling? :)

@ttcat37 oh yes how exciting. Got fingers crossed for us all. We dtd lastnight and the night before. Not sure I can push for tonight too 😆😆😆
Going to promise myself not to test early!

@PrimarilyParented that’s really interesting, thank you!

I’ve been having EWCM for a week now which isn’t like me at all 🤔 We have DTD for the last 5 nights in a row 😰 not sure we will tonight but Flo predicts ovulation was yesterday. I’ve got a gut feeling it was earlier and I don’t know why?! But last night I did have a horrible stitch like pain on my right side which has continued into this morning. We will probably continue every other day for a few more days incase ovulation is late… AF not due till 19th… I can’t take these two week waits!!!! 😩🤣

Today is apparently ovulation day according to my Clue app so I guess it's the TWW for me, for cycle 3! Will DTD next few days just in case... it's been every night for 7 nights running 🤣 due AF on 19th Jan, will start testing on the 15th I think.

With this being the 3 month mark, if unsuccessful this month I can feel this being the tipping point into starting to stress, and worry it might not happen. Logically or not. 3 months seems reasonable, longer than that seems more nerve inducing to me. Fingers crossed all.

I had really bad cramps last night- don’t know if it was ovulation or wind though 🤣

It gets a bit much doesnt it! We decided to go for every other day this month. I really don’t want to test early after chemical last month but I know I’ll do it anyway. Sucker for punishment!

Got a static smiley yesterday on clearblue ovulation test.
OH is really not well with flu etc… we hadn’t DTD since 25/12 due to my HSG and he’s been poorly since.
He managed enough energy to DTD last night so I didn’t take any chances and popped my Ferti-lily in for the first time.
Definitely had no leakage, as they say “it only takes one swimmer” so hoping it’s enough but not going to get my hopes built up too much and just wait until next cycle when he’s feeling better.

Flo app says it's my ovulation day today, we've only managed to DTD twice this week Monday and last night so I'm hoping that's enough but this morning it woke me up about half 5 to cramps I know it's way too early but it's unusual for me around ovulation. Unless I ovulated early but I'm due AF 20th so TTW for me. Fingers crossed for us all

My Af is almost away, this is our first month trying I am too excited so I used a ovulation test this morning lol! Just wanted to see what it is like. I use the flo app and I'm pretty regular, so it will be interesting to see if the tests match up with the app will be testing for ovulation every day now just to know where I am

I feel like the wait from AF to ovulation week is hard enough, nevermind the TWW😅 only month 2 for us but feel like the fun has been taken out of DTD already…does anyone else feel the same?

It's my 8th month so it's getting harder each month! I agree it does take the fun out, I'm ok after ovulation because I get excited to wait for the symptoms lol but never happens

We have DTD for the past 5 days, tonight will be the 6th. I got a positive ovulation test Wednesday morning, I tested again Thursday morning and it was negative. Hopefully I ovulated yesterday. We have been DTD at night, hopefully that is ok (fingers crossed).

@kinkin0518 sounds like you've given yourselves a fighting chance 🤞🏼🙏🏼

@kinkin0518 I think you and your OH deserve a medal for your dedication to the cause 🏅

Sorry I struggle to keep up with these messages
How is everyone? Any bfps yet?
When are people planning to test?
My app tells me to test in 1 week I'm hoping I can hold outt lol

@TTCno1in23 know exactly what you mean, this is our first time trying, for #1 it was a happy accident and I didn't realise how mechanical it ends up being 😂

@Butterflygirl23 it's 7 months for us now and feeling very long. Each month I imagine symptoms after ovulation despite playing the 'it won't be this month but secretly think it will' game each time.

I did some at home blood tests this month to see if anything is wrong. Progesterone, Testosterone, LH, FSH all fine but......also did the AMH test and it came out super low, 2.5 pmol so panicking a bit. I know it's not necessarily connected to month to month fertility but does mean we have less time than I thought and that IVF won't necessarily be feasible if needed. Getting a bit ahead of myself but it's so easy to get a bit obsessed!

@2021lady due to all the comments on here and other threads about a chemical pregnancy I’ll be waiting until I’ve missed my period by a few days …would rather not know I think!

@TTCno1in23 I'm with you on that, can't believe how many there have been!

Thank you, I hope so too! Will try not to symptom spot next week lol

@ttcat37 haha thank you for the medal. We're hoping we don't have to try for many cycles. This is our first proper cycle. December was a trial whereby we DTD 4 days and 2 days before peak LH as as well as the evening of Peak LH. We hoped the day of peak LH would be enough since sperm can live in the tubes for several days.... sadly it was not.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but maybe also DTD today. Just in case you ovulate later than expected.

Hi hope it's okay for me to jump on this thread. We are trying for our 3rd baby and this is our first month of trying. Ovulation day is today according to the Flo app so the start of two week wait begins again. My next period is due around the 21st. Good luck everyone!

@kinkin0518 I'm hoping to DTD tonight or hopefully over the weekend just to cover me 🙈 I've been having odd cycles they've been varying from 26 to 30, last month was 30 and the month before was 26 then the month before that was 30! I really thought last month I was pregnant I held off testing because i was on day 31 so I was technically a day late so we took a CB test that evening was negative then AF appeared an hour later i was devastated. So if I get to day 32 and haven't started il be testing other than that I'm staying away from the tests lol
