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.

@Angelselevenx I get it it's super frustrating when the app doesn't align with what you know in your brain 😂 I've changed mine manually a couple of times because I couldn't look at it when I knew it was wrong. When you have a slower rise I think they find it harder to decipher. I'm all good CD12 still a while to go before O day 🙄 trying to keep myself busy for the next week

Hi girls :)

Has anyone had this happen before? I like to test my LH every couple of days after it's down down from my peak (dunno why, probably the poas addict in me 😅)... Anyway, I've been using these for 3 months now and until a day or two before my peak, the highest reading I ever have is around 0.25 (but usually much lower!) Just now it's pretty dark to be honest and has come back as 0.6. I'm so confused! The only time this has happened before was last month with my chemical pregnancy (opks started getting darker around 11dpo) I'm only 6dpo today so absolutely can't be that! I'm also 99% sure I'm correct in being 6dpo as I had all the signs of ovulation and also obviously my temperature has risen and stayed risen since. I guess I'll test again later and see but guessing maybe it's just a weird one off reading or a dodgy stick? I'm completely dry down there and my peak was 1.70 so I don't think I can be trying to ovulate again 😅🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ odd...

No idea how that posted twice... My bad 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈

Well, AF has arrived, so I’m out. And DH is away for the whole of what will be my fertile time this month. I’m so down.
Wishing all you ladies lots of BFPs xxx

@HannahLouD Hmmmm, that is odd! I’ve never seen that before (though haven’t been testing for LH for very long either 😅). I’ve read online that it can happen if you’re pregnant and given it happened for your chemical pregnancy hopefully this is a good sign! Will keep the fingers crossed 🤞

@HannahLouD mine jump all over and it annoys me I put it down to the app mostly however … it can rise when it detects pregnancy from what I’ve seen on mumsnet! So who knows!! But it is frustrating either way haha 😆

I am BD no.3 of SMEP… not due to ovulate until 31st 🤣 …. Talk about a long run up!!!

@AlleycatMarie Sorry to hear you’re out this month 😢 Must be extra tough to take if next month is a no goer too. Maybe have a treat this evening (cinnamon buns are my choice during AF) and sending you lots of baby dust for 2 months time!

I feel like I'm out and I haven't even ovulated yet. I'm on cd 7 and already have EWCM and open cervix. Does anyone know what are conception rates on early ovulation.

Update: it was a dodgey opk... Back down to normal levels again now 😂🙈
Sorry to everyone who's out this month :( fingers crossed for next month! x

Well BFN on my FRER today 12dpo so I'm giving up the testing now and just waiting on AF hopefully show up sometime over this weekend, it's funny isn't it that you don't want AF to show all through the 2ww but when you know your out your sat waiting for it to show up 😂😂😂 this ttc malarkey makes me crazy 🤣🤣🤣

Goodluck ladies waiting to test I hope you get your BFP this cycle ❤️

@AlleycatMarie My OH is quite often away around the crucial days. It’s really frustrating! 💐

@AlleycatMarie sorry to hear that.. make sure you take of yourself and do things you enjoy to try take your mind off it 🌸.
@Bellabeemarie I know what you mean past few months I have been not wanting AF to arrive then as soon I test negative and get spotting beforehand I just want AF to hurry up lol and then the cycle starts again..
Thank you, fingers crossed for you too!

Aww @AlleycatMarie I'm so sorry! Please be kind to yourself and have a self care day. Sending you hugs xxxx

@bringmearainbow CD13 for you, a day closer to O day! I hate wishing time away but hopefully the next few days go quickly for you.

My BBT tracking is just confusing the hell out of me 😂

@AlleycatMarie sorry your out it sucks 😩

@Angelselevenx one day closer 💪🏼 lol bbt is confusing but it's normal to have dips in the lp I sometimes have a couple for no reason whatsoever 🙄

@bringmearainbow hope you're gearing hubs up for a few days of fun 😂. Oh do you? Good to know! I guess if I don't catch this month, at least I'll learn a lot ready for next month!

@Angelselevenx he doesn't know it yet but yes 😂 though I've already failed on my schedule we were meant to dtd last night but we didn't. I'm not upset though I don't have fertile cm so I think that one won't matter. Sunday/Monday will def be a go go go though 🙊 it takes a while to get to grips with but bbt is useful for confirming O. Mine isn't great for telling me AF is on her way because my temp doesn't drop until period has started 🙄 I've had some cycles I where temp has dropped mid LP and I've thought it's an implantation dip only for AF to show and other cycles no dip and been pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wouldn't worry too much on what it does as long as it's confirmed ovulation that's the important bit 🤞🏼

@bringmearainbow it's so unromantic isn't it 😅 you still have plenty of time to make up for that so don't worry too much.

Yeah for sure, I've just been reading online (dr Google) and it says a temp dip this early could be a second oestrogen surge which is preparing the uterus for either AF or implantation 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Hi girls!
Has anyone been completely dry down there after ovulation and gone onto get a bfp? I'm only 7dpo but I've pretty much lost hope for this month. Last month I had creamy cm from about 4dpo and then went on to get my bfp... This month I've just been dry/sticky 😞 already sure I'm out... Ugh. x

Cycle day 11 and I just go a positive OPK! Nearly ready to start the dreaded TWW 😬 going to try and not test too early this month!

@Seasidegirll so jealous I’m still CD11 with 6 days to go 🙈😖 not long to go though! 🤞🏻 For you!

I’ve realised my TWW lines up with Easter hols, cant decide if I’m thrilled I can have peace and relaxation throughout (I’m off work as I teach) or if I’m nervous that I’ll be symptom spotting and no distractions 🤣😆

I guess I will find out!!

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in!

I've been TTC for 2 years and have done 2 cycles of clomid. I had to miss this month due to my own error and I was beating myself up about it so much and we've only DTD sporadically, I didn't count the days or anything.

This morning I took a test as I have to check that I'm negative before starting the next cycle (I have to take provera to start a bleed for a new cycle) and almost collapsed when I saw 2 lines!

Ran out for a CB digital which confirmed it and I'm overjoyed. Hoping everyone else gets theirs soon too x

Ps is there a due in December thread?

@Frozendaquiri wow that's amazing! Congratulations!
I'm not sure if anyone has made one yet from this group but I know there have been some early bfps!
I've sworn I'm never making one again though 😅 I made a due in November group last month and ended up having a chemical about 10 days after making it... I know I didn't but totally feel like I jinxed myself 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️x

@HannahLouD thank you! On no, sorry to hear that! Maybe I'll wait and see if one pops up x
