TTC January 2024 miracles ✨️ 💖

[Floralsandsmiles]

Hi everyone, welcome to those joining and hello again to my soul sisters from the December thread. I saddened to see you still, but happy to have company.
May this thread bring us all luck xxx

@RG9895 big congratulations it's so nice to see the words 😍 and your nails ahhh beautiful

@CherryTreats23 looks like we are riding together in the dpo timing and the pains. Mines back again it seemed to be gone in the morning and then appears again for a few hours. So three days now. Apparently Google says it could be twins 🙀 I'm hoping for one Sticky bean lol

@Nmmck93 it could be promising 🤞 implantation can happen between 6 to 12 dpo and that's defiantly Spotting. They say brown or pink. Fingers crossed its implantation and not AF coming

I caved and tried a test. V.v.v.v faint line at 9dpo 🥺🥺🥺 I'm hoping it's a sticky one

@ddaisynner fingers crossed, still mildly spotting today; no cramps to say it's AF and usually my AF cramps on day 1/2 are absolutely horrendous. So I'm keeping fingers crossed, tests yesterday where negatice. 13dpo today so hoping I see a line over the weekend and AF stays away. I've promised my OH that we'll test together Saturday morning if still no sign before we take a road trip for the day! It's all so stressful. I did read that once implantation bleeding starts it can take 48 hours for HCG to rise so that would be tomorrow for me but will try hold out another 2 days.

Ooooh, I deffs see a shadow on the test that's not inverted! Fingers crossed it starts to darken for you! 🤞🏻

@RG9895 congratulations 🎉 you must have been estatic to see the words pregnant! I think that would be such an amazing feeling 💜

@ddaisynner Oh i can see it!!!! Heres to sticky beans!!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

I caved too with an easy at home test which looked like a stark BFN until i could see a tiny, very faint pink shadow. Its really hard to see on the photo and it looks greyer than it was. Tummy feels sore today with some back pain, im going to pretend i never took a test and wait a few days! 😖

Ou @CherryTreats23 that line looks promising!

It seems like I’m ovulating a week earlier than usual?!

It’s cd15 today but I wasn’t expecting ovulation til my usual day 21.

I’m relieved now that we’ve been DTD every other day this last week.

@HavinKittens it’s not a bad time to ovulate, will shorten your cycle down also. Did you change vitamins at all?

@Mummyme87 yes I started B6
and I’ve cut down on breast feeding at night. But I had a 35 day cycle even before I had my first baby. Haven’t had a 28 day cycle since I was in my 20s I think! Glad the 2ww is closer now.

Hey joining just looking for others to obsess over my symptoms with 😅 I’m TTC #2 ! AF was due today and still not arrived! I tested 2 days ago BFN, trying to wait until the weekend now to see if AF arrives before testing again so I don’t get disappointed at another BFN ! Fingers crossed! Sending baby dust!

@Bakingmom your will power is impressive!!

I am obsessing on the inside, it’s all I can think about!! But I just think if I can make it until at least past tomorrow I’ll know AF isn’t arriving, I usually have a period like clockwork, 28 days and never late! Should I test in the morning? Haha

@Bakingmom did Af arrive? 🤞 for you honestly I'm terrible I test daily as soon as my fingers itch to test. I must spend a fortune on tests lol

11 dpo today and faint line on the FRER. But I was hoping it would be darker and I know they are notorious for indents so feeling a bit deflated

@ddaisynner it’s hard to tell isn’t it? Hope it progresses for you. I’m just the same, can’t stop myself testing.

It’s the start of the two week wait for us, 1dpo today. Husband wasn’t up for sex the day of the LH peak (don’t get me statted…!) but we managed day of ovulation. Hope it works!

Any updates on lines? @CherryTreats23 ?

@ddaisynner keeping my fingers crossed for you - there’s a chance it could be an indent but I guess all you can do is wait and see if it progresses! Do you have any other brands of tests you can try?

CD26 for me today and still no peak on OPKs. Feeling really deflated as my cycles keep getting longer and I’m just bored of waiting!

@Aquarius93 have you tried vit b6? Did wonders for my long cycle. Sorry if I’m teaching you how to suck eggs tho!

@HavinKittens I haven’t but I’m going to order some! Before having my daughter I always had regular 30 day cycles so this is all new to me!

@HavinKittens I've been looking into b6 for progesterone. How did you find it helped you?

@Angelselevenx yes it’s the only new supplement I take (other than folic acid and vit d) and first cycle it increases my luteal from 12 to 14 days and this cycle I’ve ovulated on day 16 instead of my usual day 22. Definitely think it’s helped. I also feel less emotional but not sure if that’s the b6 or just one of those things.

@HavinKittens that's good to know, how long does that make your cycles? Mine are already 31 days but LP is just 11 days. Don't know if I can deal with longer cycles 🤣 but if it can bring O forward I'll take that!!

@Ttcsecond this is good info x

Well I’m assuming my luteal will be 14 days again so cycle would be down to 29 days instead of 35.

oh the other factor I didn’t mention is that I have cut down on breastfeeding my little boy but I had long cycles before I had him so it’s not all the bf

@HavinKittens oh wow okay, you've sold me 🤣

@ddaisynner so you don’t have a clear line, I hate frer for this, I’ve ditched them and gone to boots early tests.

8dpo and stupidly tested with a cheapie, don’t know why as was never going to get a BFP this early. Had a cry this morning and just cried again now as BFF just text to say she’s having a girl and it broke me. I’m so happy for her obvs but it’s just hit me hard

Ah @Mummyme87 I’m sorry, that’s crappy timing. It’s so tough. Early days yet, keep on swimming.

I’d love to have a little girl but definitely not getting my hopes up. I’ve told myself that DH can only make boys.

@HavinKittens after having two boys I reckon DH only produces boys

Tested yesterday morning, really faint line on a cheapie, faint line on a clear blue yesterday afternoon. Tested again this morning on a cheapie, another faint line. AF is 3 days late!! But I feel like I don’t believe it until I see a really clear BFP! I’ve order some digital clear blue arriving Sunday, AF will be 5 days late by then so hopefully they will be BFP!! Anyone any stories of faint lines after missed AF and them turning BFP with stronger lines after a while? I just don’t know if I believe it as with my first I got strong lines
