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.

@Waitingonarainbow my cycles are a bit odd too, most ladies on here are 4-5 day periods:

CD1-8 period
CD21 seems to be ovulation day going by the last two months that I've tracked (tracked LH last month and LH/BBT this month)
CD32 cycle ends

So I only have an 11 day luteal phase, not sure if that's average or not?

@HannahLouD make sure you’re hydrated and if needs be use a sperm safe lube!

Before I was TTC I always found I had CM when I didn’t want it … now I never feel like I have what I hated before 🙈 sure it’s all in my head.

But yes I read somewhere staying hydrated and I also have PreSeed on standby, however it’s a slippery old business that stuff 🤣 not the most user friendly haha

In addition to this @HannahLouD drinking grapefruit juice, it helps you produce more, which helps implantation apparently xxx

I had my scan results back! They said lining is a 5 and 6, I came on that day and said that's good. They said no cysts and said nothing ovaries are functioning, apparently the left is functioning better (that's the one I feel all the time when I ovulate too). So this is good! I've done my cd3 bloods and waiting on O then will book thr next set of bloods 7 days after that. So getting somewhere. How are you? Xxx

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 22/03/2023 21:15

@Floralsandsmiles that's good news!

Thank you @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 ! Slightly relieved to know they are working, although doesn't explain what's the hold up lol
How are you? Xxxx

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 22/03/2023 21:56

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 22/03/2023 22:08

@Floralsandsmiles thank you so much xx

lottieb92 · 22/03/2023 22:28

@Floralsandsmiles …. I’ll be late night googling where to buy grapefruit juice now 🤭 hehe thanks for the tip x

It must have been a good omen starting the group as the admin person from Nov TTC also fell pregnant! Here's my 11DPO test...can't believe it! Doesn't feel real yet. Here are a few things I did differently this month:
Exercised- mostly swimming, slept more, drank pomegranate juice daily, added Omega.3 prenatal supplements and also didn't start bedding until just before ovulation so DH wasn't tired when it was go time.

Baby dust to all :)

@AussieMum888 congrats on your BFP!!! That is one strong line for day 11 👏

Un7breakable · 23/03/2023 06:08

Congratulations @AussieMum888 . My temperatures nose dived so I'm out. It was a long shot anyway. Gutting though as everyone I've spoken to recently has conceived within a month or two. Probably going to have to miss the next few months 😥 but hopefully after that it'll work.

Angelselevenx · 23/03/2023 06:20

@AussieMum888 congratulations!

@Un7breakable how many months have you been TTC? X

Sierra26 · 23/03/2023 07:03

@AussieMum888 congrats, that’s a great looking line, so clear! Are you still spotting? Xxx

im 9/10 DPO, BFN but temp still high and my usual spotting not started yet. Usually get tender boobs 1-2 days before spotting starts and haven’t had that yet either. So not out yet but would have hoped for BFP before now…

@Floralsandsmiles great news your scan was clear, hopefully your tests results are all good too!

sorry to hear you’re out @Un7breakable , how long before AF does your temp usually fall? I’m keeping a very beady eye on mine at the mo!

bringmearainbow · 23/03/2023 07:04

@AussieMum888 oh that's a super line huge congrats 🥳🥳

AussieMum888 · 23/03/2023 07:05

@Sierra26 still got a little bit of brown spotting but no red. Funny enough the month before this one was the first I didn't spot before my period. Not sure if that's significant or not? Sending baby dust to you xxx

That’s so interesting @AussieMum888 ! Hoping my body follows suit 😂👏🏻

Jennifer89 · 23/03/2023 07:33

@Floralsandsmiles that is good news! I had cycle day 3 and day 21 blood tests done recently and results all normal so that is some relief! I am now waiting on scan appointment. GP says lead time about 8 weeks for letter..😮
Going to give grapefruit juice a try next cycle. Hoping AF doesn't arrive, due 31st March..

Jennifer89 · 23/03/2023 07:34

@AussieMum888 Congrats! 😀That's interesting about the spotting..

Hi @Jennifer89 👋 my scan was fairly quick and I've done my CD3 bloods, just waiting for O to book in the next bloods 7 days later. I'm kind of hoping that they show low progesterone, as I spot 6 days before AF.. and it would explain no BFP and is something that can be fixed..however if the bloods don't show that, that may be worse... nothing will be wrong and there is no reason! DH has an appointment for semen analysis too, but that list is long and not till next month.. I have my fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't arrive! Xxxx

Bellabeemarie · 23/03/2023 07:55

@AussieMum888 awwwwwwww yay congratulations 🎊 ❤️

Moriquendi · 23/03/2023 07:58

@AussieMum888 Brilliant line, big congratulations!! 🥳

AussieMum888 · 23/03/2023 07:58

Thanks ladies! Definitely not sunk in yet and along way to go but feeling grateful :) x
