TTC December

[AussieMum888]

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd create a new thread as the TTC Oct and Nov we're so helpful to me :) There were so many BFPs in the Nov group so statistics doing their thing there will be lots of BFPS in this Dec thread too which is super exciting.

Im currently on CD3 of my 5th cycle TTC #2.

@Peaceandloves I started on day 6 this month as that was recommended by the clear blue fertility monitor I used for the first time this month x

@Peaceandloves when I first started I would do 1 LH test starting when period ends, then 2 LH tests a day during the “predicated” phase until I spotted the days I was hitting my Peak.

sometimes the rise can be very quick so 2x a day means I didn’t miss it or that I forgot to test then wake up and I never found the peak.

You can cut this down to about 7 days of testing once you know your ovulation day :)
But hopefully it works first time for you of course!!

So my period is meant to be due today, normally arrives as soon as I wake up but nothing!! I did two tests this morning, one IC and a clear blue and both 100% negative. So frustrating, I’m pretty confident I’m out so I just wish my period would hurry up and arrive!!

@Seasidegirll oh that’s sooo frustrating when that happens I had it in December late by 2 days.
hopefully she’s on her way tonight or tomorrow!
im due tomorrow I usually get it midday… just to be really inconvenient 😅

have you taken anything new?

@lottieb92 No nothing new. I also had an odd cycle in jan just after I had covid, I was 4 days late! But the last one was back to normal, I guess maybe it’s still a bit all over the place! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Our bodies can be SO annoying!! I’m been struggling to keep up with this thread so sorry if I’ve missed loads, where are you at? Do you feel
like your period is going to arrive tomorrow?

Aww @Seasidegirll ! Mine is meant to be today too! Been spotting since Friday for 3.5 days on and off and today nothing! What the hell! Tested, BFN. Its doing my head in! Xxxx

I am 7DPO so still ages to go for me to test. I have had some burning type sensation pains, had anything fairly vivd dream last night and for the last 48 hours have been quite gassey. Boobs are also killing but I have had this every month after ovulation since I started taking the 7 Seas tablets. Still no real feelings either way as I had a lot of symptoms the last 2 months and it's come to nothing each time x

@Seasidegirll hey nothing new… I’m defo coming into aunt flow. No chance of a positive. But feeling good about this month!

I have had a pre op letter for my laparoscopy and I’m a little nervous, I was expecting it in a few months time not yet, and I was hoping to get my BFP before I go under. Guess I’ll keep plodding and see what comes first!

Same here. Ovulate usually cd 14/15. This month was either 12 or 13. First month on seven seas

@Un7breakable mine days have changed in exactly the same way. I'm contemplating maybe changing to just Folic acid x

I've only just swapped from well woman so going to give it a few months and see. Earlier might not be an issue as long as LP stays the same.

@Un7breakable yes this is true. Hopefully this will be our month and then we won't have to worry about it any more x

Cd2 for me
Gonna try and stay relaxed and just go with the flow and not stress too much
Starting a new job next week
Haven't worked since having my daughter and she's nearly 3.
We have been trying for number 2 since she was 1
It'll be nice to focus my mind on different things.

@2021lady good luck with the new job!

@buckingmad I'm taking the pregnacare conception ones. I took them when ttc my first so went back to them this time.

@Sierra26 I've looked into upping my vitamin C but possibly will do others too. Hope this is your cycle! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I had slightly pink cm yesterday (I'm around 9/10dpo but af hasn't started yet but I'm thinking she's just round the corner. I temp too and they're still high but assuming they'll drop tomorrow morning as usual when af comes.

Hubby is away so was wanting to surprise him with a possible bfp when he comes home but don't think I will be.

Dh and I have just had a stomach bug right at the beginning of fertile week so have missed 2/4 of my fertile days 😫 didn't test yesterday but got flashing face today and my cheapy looks like I'm going to get a peak today. We dtd on Sunday but after he had some beers so I kind of discount those 😂 so frustrating! I was hoping the sickness would delay it more! Still have today and tomorrow I guess which are the most important ones.

Aww no @TunnocksTCake ! How are you feeling now? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles luckily feeling loads better today, was sick all Monday night and yesterday I just slept, now I'm starving 😂 so taking that as a good sign. Luckily I don't work Wednesdays so I can keep testing all day today to make sure I at least catch the peak 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Aww I'm glad you are feeling better @TunnocksTCake! And what a positive outlook! I'm sure you will catch your peak and then DTD a few times and have a brill shot this cycle! Sending hugs xxx

@2021lady good luck with your new job! Hope it helps to take your mind off of everything and you can take it slightly easier this cycle 🤞🏻X

@TunnocksTCake oh no!! There seems to be a lot of stomach bugs going around at the moment. Sounds like you guys will still be able to catch your peak, so I wouldn’t worry! I’m sure you’re all good for this cycle! X

@Floralsandsmiles Any sign of AF start yet? Mine arrived in full force this morning, so onto the next cycle 👊🏻💪🏻 X

@lottieb92 Wow, your pre op letter came through so fast! What does a laparoscopy look for? Finger crossed for your BFP before the procedure! X

Hi @Seasidegirll ! No AF yet... I don't get what's going on!!I have a scan later to check abdominal for any issues, so hoping that will be nothing. Then bloods (when taken) will just be progesterone levels, as that's a simple fix and we can finally conceive. However who knows!

So sorry to hear that AF has arrived! But we'll done for staying positive and new cycle, new opportunities! Sending hugs xxx

Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly @TunnocksTCake !! Hope you’re feeling better now. At least you’re home to catch the peak!! We only dtd the day of my static and the day after this month, as I only had a day of flashing. Keeping my finger’s crossed for both of us!

Hope I can join if possible! Holding out for November still as AF not yet arrived but looking unlikely this month so far. But if not then will be TTC again for December. :)

@Floralsandsmiles ah sorry the hear that AF still hasn’t arrived! I hope you get some answers tomorrow 🤞🏻 Keep us updated, hope it all does well! X

Thanks @Seasidegirll! Had the scan today and all they said was they could see everything and it looked good and scan results will be given to doctors. Then asked if I had bloods booked too. I don't know if that's good or not? Increasingly considering IVF.. just because of age and knowing i dont want to be wasting anymore time..hope you are OK? Xxx
