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!

@TunnocksTCake Thank you 💗 AF buggered off last night so I have started OPKs from today! There is a faint line but that still means negative anyway, so I will continue once a day for now and see when it starts to get darker 🤞🏼

@Ttcdcno1 I know its shameful how much I spend on it all! I was really hoping I wasnt going to have to restock this month, everything ran out at the same time! 🙄

@Floralsandsmiles ah sorry I thought you were a few days further ahead... still in with a chance then, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Im fine just bored waiting. We are having our garden landscaped at the moment and its currently in the horrible stage of just looking like a building site and the price keeps increasing so its a bit stressful but keeping me occupied while I wait for sex week!
Annoyingly I am going to be at a hen do on O day this month so Im praying it will be one day earlier or we are going to have to have some very early morning sex that day (DD wakes up at 6!)

Aww not a big chance @TunnocksTCake ! I've been spotting for a few days as my normal the last 3 months, so I'm out.. 😔
Aww hun! I have my fingers crossed for you that you O a day earlier! Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles it's so disheartening isn't it, which number cycle is this for you? Xxxx

Angelselevenx · 11/04/2023 19:33

@Angelselevenx we tried for 6 months without tracking and this is the 2nd month tracking. We did SMEP too. So disappointed! Xxx

Hi lovelies.

was wondering if I can join, first cycle TTC #2. DD is 20months (Aug21).

Have a funny sinking feeling we have missed timed this month as hubby has been away on a stag do whilst I ovulated. About 3dpo, but feeling so deflated.

What TV programmes or things are using to distract the TWW?

Belle97 · 11/04/2023 20:41

I need help!!

Period is 5 days late, but had some bleeding (brown/rusty colour) today and needed to wear a pad, no clots or anything. But done a clear blue early detention and a easy at home this morning and they're positive.
Pics attached xx

Ps, no cramping or anything, more like a tingling feeling and done another test this evening and the line is v v v faint - lighter than this morning. Could this be implantation bleeding? Is it normal for the strength of the line to disappear in an evening?

@Floralsandsmiles I'm wishing the days away until O day 🤣. Trying SMEP this month and day 1 was yesterday. Hope you're doing okay xxx

Aww I know the feeling well my love! Good luck with SMEP! I've got everything crossed for you xxxx

Savvy21 · 11/04/2023 21:35

@Belle97 I think that it could be that your urine is more diluted in the evening so the line would be fainter. Maybe try another test in the morning and see if it's darker? Fingers crossed for you.

Un7breakable · 12/04/2023 06:41

@Belle97 could be old implsntation blood. Congratulations I can see those lines.

The pregnancy hormone doubles every 48 hours so try again in two days and it should be darker. It could have be lighter due to you drinking more.

When your Natural Cycles app pops up on CD30….!…..and says peak fertility - O tomorrow…(earlier in this thread I mentioned about being super stressed at work this month and having a temp rise CD23 but no LH surge - which is around my usual O day as I have long cycles) and I just ran out of ovulation tests this cycle - stopped testing on CD27 as thought I had completely missed the chance. DTD just to cover all possibilities 🤣

Angelselevenx · 12/04/2023 12:41

@GemLou88 how's your temp looking today? Xx

GemLou88 · 12/04/2023 13:16

@Angelselevenx gone up finally, thanks for asking. CD34 and I think 2dpo but ovulation not picked up on FF app yet. Think the app is as confused as me for this cycle. How you getting on? Xx

Angelselevenx · 12/04/2023 14:14

@GemLou88 woohoo! That looks like a good rise and similar to mine last month after O day. I'm alright thanks lovely, nothing new with me just waiting to see when I ovulate after the CP xxx
