January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

[Roxybabe]

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

Flashing smiley this morning, CD8 so right on time for me. Haven't DTD this week yet, we've both been exhausted - off to practice my alluring smile

Well the TWW eventually begins again… 🤞🏼 We’ve give it a good shot this month, will keep going every other day for a few more days I think incase I ovulate late as I don’t officially track. Praying this is our month ✨

My Natural cycles has moved my predicted ovulation again now to Sunday. My partner is not complaining about the extra DTD but I’m far too impatient. 🙈🙈

@Laul89 we’ve also given it a good effort this month and we’re going to keep going just in case. Fortunately, I’m not back to work until Monday but I’m going to be exhausted at this rate. 😂

@ELJ1502 hahaha it starts to get really tedious doesn’t it.. we were fine & enjoying it over Xmas when we were off but first week back at work is done and we were really tired last night but managed anyway 🤣 fingers crossed we’ve done enough but definitely going to carry on a little longer just incase 🤞🏼

@Laul89 fingers crossed for us both 🤞🤞

Sending Baby Dust your way 🤞

Hey ladies - wow these threads move fast!

I'm 6/7 dpo today and completely over analysing every little twinge and pull. Period is due on Friday but I've got FRERs in the bathroom and think I'll be tempted to test on Wednesday morning which will be 10dpo.

Anyone else testing at a similar time? X

7dpo now guys and I'm still cramping on and off
Headaches on and off
And I'm shattered
I'm thinking these are all just caused by progesterone ir the femara or whatever but man I'm wiped.
I usually feel rotten like the 5 days leading up to my period but this has been since ovulation

Hi ladies, so today is cd12 and I’ve been obsessively using opks as I’ve either missed my peak the last two months or not reached it. Anyway LH has gone from 0.38 to 0.75 in 6 hours so hoping this means I’m approaching my peak overnight - this would make sense with previous months readings of 0.8 in the morning then falling throughout the day.
my concern is, DH is working nights tonighg and definitely won’t be up for dtd in the morning. Will I miss my chance if we leave it until tomorrow afternoon? Last dtd Thursday. I so want this to be our month and worried I’m once again going to miss the opportunity to time it right!

@Misspotterscat your peak indicates ovulation in the next 1-3 days so you won’t necessarily miss it if you dtd this afternoon, no. Although I think it is better to dtd as much as you can in the run up to ovulation as well as the day of, for future months (which hopefully you won’t need as you’ll catch the egg this month).

I've taken a month off tracking and think we possibly only managed to DTD once during my FW. We were staying with my parents over the holidays so I'm pretty sure there's no way we will have caught. So just going to relax this month and not think about it.

Hi, everyone, I'm on cd4 of cycle 8 ttc #1 and coming back on after a chemical last cycle. Hoping it won't take too much longer now my body has gone through implantation. As much as we were a bit disappointed, we are glad to know we can conceive so 🤞for the future

Thank you. I couldn’t sleep last night and tested again (obsessed) and got the strongest result I’ve had in the months I’ve been tracking - a definite positive. Hopefully I’ve done enough as I would so love this month to be ‘our month’

Oh hi @Babydust99 I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy:( fingers crossed for you this month! I'm 1dpo and pn cycle day 17

Thank you. I hope this is your month too. How long have you been ttc?

I really thought last month was my month, we've only managed to make DTD twice this week so I'm not overly excited! The last time was 2 days before ovulation! It's my 8th month off the pill! What about you?

This is our 8th cycle but 6.5 months as I have shorter cycles. Last cycle we only dtd cd 8, 11 and 12 and I O cd 13 so it doesn't take much. We're feeling more relaxed about dtd now we know we don't need to squeeze in several times in a week 🤣🙈

I'm pretty sure I had a chemical last cycle as had a positive test a couple of days before I was due on, then AF arrived a bit late and was heavier than normal. All my OPKs now are completely blank. Or total squinters at least. I'm in what should be my fertile window and I think usually my cycle is all pretty normal and predictable and by now I'd have quite a strong line. I'm guessing a chemical might affect ovulation...? Anyone any experience of this?

CD28 For me. I think 8 poss 10DPO I don't do tests/ temp etc ... but cycles can be anywhere from 28-34 (occ.... 34+) so AF could come anytime between now and Monday 15th.

Going to try and hold off testing if AF has not shown by 17th so the TWW for me is normally more like a 16day wait ... already feels like it's dragging and got over a week to wait until testing 🙈

Good luck to all. 🤞 for lots of BFPs xx

I had a chemical last cycle too, I'm thinking it probably can or will affect O slightly but hopefully not too much 🤞 how are you feeling after the chemical? As much as it was disappointing, I'm a bit relieved that I know we can conceive and feel a bit more relaxed about ttc now

@Babydust99 yeah I've been reading up about DTD few days before ovulation covers you so I'm hoping it was enough but we will see. I'm due 20th according to flo! Its my 8th cycle too, my longest cycle has been 30 days

@Babydust99 thanks... sorry about your chemical too. I think it would make sense wouldn't it? I'll just keep doing the OPKs... and DTD at every opportunity

I'm feeling ok now thanks - was deflated and a bit down about it at first, but also feel the same as you. Something worked at least, now I just need the next one to stick around 🤞🏻...It has made me determined not to test early though next time. Good luck to you!

So I tested today. Probably far too early but I caved...
Anyway
There's a faint line.. I think??
Can't figure out if it has colour? Have I got a dodgy batch of frer?
What do you guys think??
Maybe I'm going mad

@2021lady me too I think we are on the same cycle (8/9 dpo today?)

Mine was stark white, I knew I shouldn't have tested but convinced myself I felt implantation cramps a few days ago. I'm going to try and hold out until Friday now unless I get unbearable nausea which was the early symptom with my first.

I think I can maaayyybe see the start of something on yours but it's a real squinter and can tell the colour from the photo. Fingers tightly crossed for you!! Keep us updated x

I had a chemical last cycle. This cycle my LH stayed really low before ovulation and I had a rapid rise unlike my normal gradual. I got my peak a day or 2 later than usual. Either I didn’t catch my peak completely or it didn’t get as high as usual- it’s usually around a t/c ratio of 1 but I only caught a 0.8. I think I ovulated ok though, as my bbt has risen and stayed high so far.
