TTC 2024 Babies 🍼🤰🏻🌟🍀🤞🏻💕

[TunnocksTCake]

New thread for those of us now trying for the first babies of 2024, may we all be lucky this month!

I'm CD1 today of cycle 6 ttc my second.
Had a chemical at the end of February and lots of illness in March so revved up to give this month all I've got!

@Annie1295 it's so confusing! How are you getting on?

5dpo and trying not to get my hopes up too much. Had a bbt dip this morning which I had on the exact same dpo last time I was pregnant so hoping it could be an implantation dip but there are probably a million other reasons and it's just a coincidence

Pictures from today and last pregnancy for comparison

@Annie1295 I never temped, I find it all so confusing! But hopefully that's a great sign 🙌

@Daniki I'm tempted to stop as every month I read into the temperatures way too much 😅 DH is quite keen on it though as it helps narrow down fertile window

Hello. 👋 Room for one more?

We’re getting ready to restart TTC after a break due to illness (thankfully all looking OK!) and still aiming for 2024!🤞

My BBT chart is starting to really mess with my head. It seems to be identical to the month I got pregnant down to which days I've slept differently and even on those days the temps are virtually the same (34.43 Vs 34.42). I know that it probably doesn't mean anything as bbt can be a bit random but what are the chance of the pattern being completely identical?

I’m due on my period tomorrow, I did early clearblue tests over the weekend and got these - are they evap lines or positives? I’ve read everything and my brain is now fried! Please help 🤣🤣

@Rebeccaemily93 how quickly did the lines appear?

im having the same dilemma did a test this morning I’ve got 3 days until AF due. And I thought I saw a really faint line but also aware I may have “line eyes” from really wanting to see one. Went downstairs made a cuppa came back upstairs 10 mins or so later and this is what it looked like…Evap or positive?

Mine came at around 10 mins also - I definitely get line eyes and squint at everything haha!
I’m just going to keep taking tests until either AF comes or I feel 100% sure because at the moment I’m not believing it and keep saying to my OH that it’s evap lines!!🤦🏼‍♀️

@Rebeccaemily93 it’s such an anxious time. Yes I showed my partner and he was happy thinking I was pregnant…I said maybe evap line…trying to not get excited. Fingers crossed for you x

@Annie1295 sorry I don’t know much about BBT so I can’t really help :( all sounds so confusing x

@LetsGo36 I don't think it necessarily means I'm pregnant but I'm finding it quite frustrating that it seems to be following the exact same pattern and yet there is no way for me to know until AF is due on Thursday. It's like it's mocking me 😅

Ladies I would recommend using boots early detection tests and use clearblue to double confirm. Pink dye is more reliable but those tests do look positive

@LetsGo36 and @Rebeccaemily93 those both look positive to me! Have you taken again this morning?

NC has confirmed ovulation for day 27-31 which is actually my earliest yet after coming off the pill in December so I'm finally back in the two week wait, I think 29 is the most likely so currently 4dpo.
I
t's still long but I'm so pleased it's moved it the right direction as last cycles 52 days was the longest, so I'm keeping everything crossed it's now getting shorter.

BBT dropped this morning so I'm definitely out for this month. Waiting for AF to start today or tomorrow. Going to try SMEP but without BBT this time and just use OPKs instead - the temping is just too confusing and obsessive

@Jess780 I did another yesterday but again same thing, barely see a thing and then gets darker. So not too hopeful :(

@Annie1295 sorry to hear that. I really don’t understand it all. I just track it on Flo x

@LetsGo36 thank you! Just gotta keep going.

Have you tested again? I really don't get the line tests, it's so confusing with evaporation lines and all that

@LetsGo36 I'd defo advise a different brand, those particular tests are notorious for indent/evaps etc
The boots 5 day early response are great tests and pink dye which is better!

How is everyone getting on?

7dpo today, cracked and tested this morn of course negative 😂😂 had 21 day progesterone test today so looking forward to getting the results back for that!

@Daniki ooh let us know how you get on with your results!

@moosey89 will do, hopefully not be waiting forever 😂

@Daniki my results were on the app 48hrs later so fingers crossed!

Hi @Annie1295
I have just started into the TWW on a very hopeful month. I got my highest ever LH surge at 1.40. I’ve had day 5 bloods for hormone levels which all came back normal, I have repeats scheduled for Saturday. Lots of BD all right on time too so maybe this is our month. If not, at least I’ve had my referral for investigations and if I get a negative this month I’ll stop testing and trying too hard. We are heading on a holiday in 10 days which I think it’s needed!

How have you been?
