TTC October baby 🍁🎃👻

[BiscuitLover3678]

Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

@Jonesy88 hopefully yours will be a speedy 2nd conception!

Welcome @LittleMiss2023 if there's anything acronym wise you need explaining, just say and any one of us will fill you in :)

Morning all.

Been watching and hoping for this month but thought we were out. Weird one this month; didn't manage to catch my peak, also had my day 21 bloods last week as in 37 and have been trying since the autumn. Result came back yesterday on nhs app. 92nmo/l progesterone and normal range is 30/65....

Can't believe the result I got this morning, possibly 11-13 dpo. Ironically DH going for his sperm analysis in the morning

Congratulations @Midnight00 that's a fantastic line 🎉

Congratulations @Midnight00 that's so exciting!

I'm now 8dpo and going maaaaad. Had really awful twinges, pulling and cramps at 6-7dpo, felt awful, seems to have eased off now. I also had a proper mood swing and was in floods of tears, but I do tend to get that before AF anyway.

Hey guys hope you don't mind me joining I am on my 18th cycle ttc number 2
This is my second cycle using letrozole
I am due to ovulate this weekend
I am hoping and praying it works cause I am getting so fed up
Next period is due valentines day and I really hope it doesn't show.

Yey @Midnight00 Nice strong positive there!! Congratulations!

I reckon I'm approx 11 DPO. To test or not to test. I'll kick myself if this is all pms.

Congrats @Midnight00 ! Love that your oh is having sperm analysis 😂
@Enigma85 SAME HERE! 8dpo and going crazy, also had the twingy pulley cramps a few days ago and a bit today in the same spot! I. Just. Want. To. Know. 😫 when are you testing?

Thanks all, it really hasn't sunk in yet. Ha, I know - thankfully it's taking the pressure off his SA hut useful to still know the numbers in case this one doesn't stick

When's your AF due? Will you hold out?

@Midnight00 It's not due until a week on Tuesday based on 28 days. But I reckon I ovulated early. My periods were shorter before miscarriage and only had 1 period since it. The ovulation signs were there early so I'm assuming I did ovulate early. I'm booked in for a smear test on Thursday so will test Thursday morning at the latest.

@TunnocksTCake - I'm now like "am I weeing more than normal?" Haha, and I had this left side twinge with my first pregnancy (although ended in MMC). I want to test tomorrow but know that's silly! When are you going to?

Hello hope its OK if I join, ttc for first time and have been off contraception since May last year. Was taking a relaxed approach in June when my cycle came back to normal but last couple months been trying harder. I don't do ovulation tests usually, and mostly go off of what my app says and ewcm to predict my ovulation. According to app I ovulated 13th Jan, we dtd often during my fertile window and I did have ewcm.. since then I have still been having ewcm every day or so (he's been away working so we weren't able to dtd just incase).
I took a cheap pregnancy test( I know it's mega early, couldn't help myself, it was bfn) and I did a ovulation test too out of curiosity. Attached is the test, do you think I ovulated later than predicted and now I'm just starting my 2ww.. if so I've probably missed my chances this cycle. Af due on 28th. Sorry for long post

I'm a few days late, but too scared of disappointment so I'm not testing 😂. I was hopeful as my LP is usually consistent but I started taking seven seas preconception tables on CD1 and read that the vit B6 can prolong luteal phase and result in longer cycles

8dpo and bfn this morning but been feeling nauseous today so may do an early detection test tomorrow. Only have a ten day luteal phase so will know soon enough.

8 DPO evening test! Just had such a desire to test - I know it usually ends in disappointment but….

Better pic… it looks pink enough right? Not an evap? So hope it’s a sticky one!

@RedLipstick1 you will always have a line on opk’s it’s only when they are same darkness or darker than the control line that it’s positive. So you may have already ovulated as you thought, I’d be dtd anyway just incase 😆

@Teaplease29 looks positive to me! I would think more than 8dpo for that line if you could have ovulated earlier? Either way congrats!!

@Mrsrobinsonx thankyou! And glad you think it looks like a BFP - it’s pinker than the pic shows too. Maybe a day earlier ovulation wise but unlikely by much - was using ovulation tests.

I did my first FRER yesterday morning and was a BFN!

@Teaplease29 wow, that is a great line for 8dpo. I'm also wondering if you ovulated a little bit earlier than you think. Congratulations!

@hipposinacircle thank you! And maybe a bit TMI but I ovulated (I think last Sat) and the first day we DTD in weeks was the Friday so I think conception could only really have happened a day or so earlier I think!?!

@Teaplease29 that looks like a good line. Can definitely see some pink to it- congratulations

I think I ovulated last Saturday too but BFN this morning. No symptoms really. I had a little bit of pinching on right pelvic area for 20 mins or so this afternoon and my tummy feels hard around my hip bone area 🤷🏻‍♀️

@BambiBooBoo thank you! Still lots of time. I didn’t get a BFP with first baby until day AF due! I think it just depends on how early implantation is?

Last month I had so many symptoms… was convinced but no BFP. This month, slightly sore nipples and a bit of a sore throat - maybe not even connected?

@Teaplease29 well there you go then! Not much room for debate when you're that sure ☺️

@Teaplease29 I'm not sure when I got my BFP with baby 1 as I had a chemical just before that so don't know when my fertile week was.
Didnt have a full cycle between chemical and baby1 so i can't compare estimated DPO or anything for this cycle
