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.

Congratulations all with bfp! Amazing 😍

I've just got a peak I think on an opk so fingers crossed for an Xmas eve baby for me 🤞

Just trying to DTD at the right times is a minefield! This ovulation is 4 days earlier than last month. I think my cycles are still regulating after coming off the implant months ago.

@Mushroo We just DTD a LOT while using ovulation sticks for timing. 5 days in a row -3,-2,-1, O, O+1! Was quite exhausted by the end 😮‍💨

@Floralsandsmiles The line difference is so good to see! I do think FRER are just better for early testing than Clear Blue, especially after TryingToConcieveNumber2 posted her pictures where the tests were taken the same day! It’s much harder to see the colour on the blue line tests so you spend more time worrying about indents or evap lines 😬

Thanks for all the congrats and sending hugs and baby dust to the not yets.

Am I going mad or can anyone else see something here? Please be honest if you can't. 13dpo, AF due yesterday. Used FRER at 10dpo and 11dpo, stark white. This is just shadows and imagination but I should pick up a FRER to be sure right?

@Natty83 I see it!! Get an FRER, I had a vvfl on FRER at 10dpo which I know is sooo early but continued to get lines on my FRER and I'm 13dpo now

@Natty83 I see it! I feel like ics only show something if it's genuine. I've never had anything show unless it's an actual line 🤞

How's everyone else getting on?x

@HannahLouD ah that's interesting... I have promised myself I won't test again now til Monday but now I'm tempted to test tomorrow! I honestly don't think this month has worked for us so feel like i want to put myself out of my misery and just see a BFN tomorrow and accept it. Why do we do this to ourselves?!

Huge congrats to you on your BFP ❤️

VVFL for me this morning, but its defo there. In hindsight I think I am actually only 10DPO today - I had the pains/bloating about 30 hours after the clearblue solid smiley, so testing on Saturday at 8DPO was a bit silly.

Apprehensive at the moment as I genuinely didn't expect it, and will test again over the next few days...

@Cindy1802 ah fingers crossed for you!!
10dpo was when I started to see something the past 2 months so feeling hopeful for you!x

@Natty83 looks like there’s something there - fingers crossed!


Just a waiting game for me at the moment. I finally ovulated CD26. Now CD29. Based on my usual 30 day cycle AF should be due on Wednesday. Just waiting to see if ovulation pushes it back, if it arrives and I have a short luteal phase or if I manage to get pregnant. My head’s been all over the place this month!

Hey ladies! So, after getting AF this cycle I was very down and left this thread. Thanks to a slightly shorter cycle I technically get another go at ttc a December baby. Thought I was ruled out because dh is away for a week from tomorrow. However, I have just got a peak on cd 11. DTD yesterday, will tomorrow before he leaves. Should I convince him to DTD today as well? Want to maximise chances, but also worried about sperm quality if we DTD 3 days in a row.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Congratulations to all of the BFP since I’ve last been here!

I think this might be heading for another chemical... I know my lines are dark but I've had very little progression over 4 days and my line is actually slightly lighter today 💔

I mean this nicely, step away from the sticks!

I know it’s so hard and I completely get it, but until there’s a sign otherwise, you are pregnant. The sticks aren’t really designed to show progression to this level of accuracy - if you look at the control lines they are all slightly different as well.

FWIW I think your latest looks darker than the rest.

Really hoping for the best for you, I’m so invested in your journey but honestly, it all looks good based on what you’ve posted x

@AlleycatMarie ahhh exciting you get another go and he's now not away that's awesome 💪🏼 I think if he doesn't have any sperm issues I would try and dtd everyday

@HannahLouD I agree sack off the tests now… you have missed a period, no other signs of bad news!
trust your body not these tests!
book in for a private appointment if it’ll help you.
