TTC Feb 2023

[ukMummyof1]

Can't find a thread for this but I'm TTC #2. In on CD1 as AF arrived this morning... feel free to join this thread xxx

How's everyone doing now?? I'm officially 7dpo again. No symptoms at all, I usually start spotting 8 or 9dpo for my period so I'm praying that doesn't happen this month. Hope everyone is OK! Xx

@Wright31 yes I definitely will stick around to see you all get your BFPs!!! So weird how I was saying to my boyfriend the other day I just know I’m pregnant haha I’m so so so bloated I actually look 5 months already 🤯 I’ve heard that happens with your 2nd though just praying everything goes okay!

Hi everyone! Great to be back on the thread!!
Great to see everyone is in good places too and cracking on with the TTC journey! And some exciting BFP too @Tryingtobe123!!

Doing well! We’ve said we won’t try now until May cycle because of the wedding in June. However ended up DTD today LOL, technically I am CD12 and not at my peak yet (usually around CD14-16) and all my apps are low chance today so it was more just being spontaneous. We’re also so ready now so it’s hard!

@Strawb28 Lovely to see your name pop up! How has today been? Any signs of AF? Are you doing anything different this cycle?

@Wright31 How are you feeling now a few days post ovulation? Are you feeling confident about this cycle? Also what was the outcome from your tests and appointments?!?!

@GeekyMina Sorry you feel that way! Not our intention at all but no need for that we all make mistakes and get carried away on threads. Never mind!

so i had my early cycle bloods done and all has come normal and fine so have the progesterone test ina few days, but we’ve still gone ahead and tried this month! i’ve been reading up a lot about real experience of short luteal phase rather than just what google says and it seems it is not necessarily a problem. so feeling good and positive! i’m 2dpo :) how are you getting on?

@smldnlove no sign of aunt flo yet or any spotting! I'm 8DPO and CD24 according to my app. My last three cycles have been 26,25 and 24 days but before that they were 27!! App says period in 3 days so I took a frer today but BFN.. Will try again in 2 days! Hope you are doing well. Sometimes being spontaneous is best 😘

Congrats @Tryingtobe123 what were the main things you spotted (if any) before your BFP?

@Wright31 how long is your luteal phase? Mine has been getting a bit shorter also and a good bit of early spotting :/

@Strawb28 i was just very very bloated and really crampy. Didn’t have this before with my first though so this was definitely different!

@Tryingtobe123 ohh that's very interesting. I've had some mild cramping today and now tonight I'm feeling nauseous, slightly congested and have a lot of wind 🙄🙄 could just be pre af lol!!

@Wright31 Ahhhh glad you are trying and seeing what happens! Still could very easily happen for you this month! Have you had any more symptoms this last day or so?

we’re doing well! Still unsure whether to try this month but we did have a go a few days ago on my CD12 but I usually don’t ovulate till around CD16. I’m just a bit confused by my ovulation atm though as I’m using this time to track like max but it seems as though my LH is decreasing before I’ve even ovulated and my peak was 0.48. Have you had this before? Attaching pic for info. Will do another later and rest my ewcm too as I feel like that acrually works better for me atm.

@Strawb28 any update on this cramping? Have you done any more tests?

Another 24 day cycle 😢😢 I think I'm going to give losing weight a go for a couple of months before trying again. My BMI is quite high which I'm sure if affecting my luteal phase!

Hope this month goes well for you x

How is everyone getting on? Ended up DTD again two days ago and got a positive OPKs today so the “pausing till after wedding” has gone TERRIBLY lol. It was only once though so we’ll see!!

Any updates from anyone? @Wright31 @Tryingtobe123 @Strawb28 ?

@Tryingtobe123 how are the early stages going? X

oooo we love to hear it!! 🤍 keep us posted, it might be the one!

I’m actually due on my period today but nothing has come, but had a negative test this morning so i’m pretty sure AF is coming, but the good news is that my luteal phase is already slightly longer than the last cycle so maybe the vitamins are working! Will do another test tomorrow and keep you posted!

@smldnlove okay actually (so far!) definitely harder with having a toddler to run around after so I’m just really tired and REALLT hungry. Been feeling a bit nauseous but nothing major

@Wright31 Oh that’s great news!! So please your LP is now longer and heading in the right direction! Are you having any symptoms or anything? Sending you all the prayers!!

@Tryingtobe123 How far along are you now? Yes toddler must be a big distraction for you which is nice, hopefully you don’t get any more symptoms and can have a relatively normal 1st trimester! Fingers crossed!!

@smldnlove 5 weeks now! He really really is haha I keep forgetting I’m pregnant 🤯

hey all, so i’m 11dpo and i’ve very rarely ever got to this stage because of my short LP, i took a First Response there and i can see a line….. but i am pretty sure it’s an indent? i just don’t know..! will attach a picture.

my temperature is still somewhat high and I haven’t had any symptoms i usually get with period arriving by this stage, and i was due on yesterday. What do you think?? it’s so so so faint i just don’t know

ahhh it won’t let me upload picture!

@Wright31 Oh my goodness!!!! This is so exciting! Please try and attach. Click add image and then attach and then you also need to scroll down to attach again once it’s uploaded… if that helps?

EVERYTHING crossed for you!!! 11dpo is a great time to test so seems promising! Can you do another?

How is it going @Wright31 ?! Did you test again? X

unfortunately i think AF has just arrived! really gutted! very light but pretty sure it’s start of AF rather than implantation bleeding. also gutted as me and husband won’t be in same country for fertile week so missing next month unfortunately! will be on to month 6 after that which i know is still nothing but quite disappointing!

the positive to take from all of this is my luteal phase has extended from 8/9 days to 10/11 days so that’s really hopeful!

how you getting on?

It’s an indent isn’t it??

Sorry pic attached

@Caths456 i cant see anything on that pic have you got one in better lighting? How many DPO are you?

There’s probably nothing there, I think around 11dpo but not due my period til the 14th so? It’s defo a real squinter in person so I’d presume negative?

I’m just imaging it I think. Oh well.
