TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

If they came up within the time I would count them as positives take another test in a few days x

Broke and tested on 9dpo...negative. Sat here feeling down and depressed for a while and then I found the Countdown to Pregnancy website. It said that 52.5% of pregnant women got a false negative result on 9 days past ovulation.

Just a little statistic that's made me feel better and thought it might help out someone else like me who's silly enough to test early and then get down about the result 🤦‍♀️😂

@Stardust89 I've been told the Boots early results tests are good.

Congratulations to all of those with BFPs.

I am officially 1DPO, it feels like this month has dragged but I'm sure the TWW will feel even longer 😄

Is this thread continuing for those who didn't get a BFP and are back into their next cycle too? Seeing as technically it's still TTC in September for those of us who didn't get lucky x

@moosey89 I'm still here TTC 😊 onto cycle 8, just waiting for AF to vacate in two days then it's all go again 🤣. I don't ovulate until around CD18-21 so got a little while yet anyway c

@Rebeccaemily93 From what I've read evap lines tend to be grey not blue, so I'd say that was a BFP! Congratulations

I've been a little quiet here while waiting for ovulation to happen.

It's great to see some BFPs already.

I'm hoping this month is a lucky one for me. I had surgery on one of my ovaries in July at the same time as removing a ruptured ectopic. I had a 10cm cyst on it and hadn't ovulated from it for over 2 years. I'm now starting to get ovulation pain and it's from that sign. I was feeling quite deflated about TTC as I was left with an ovary and tube on opposite sides - it's still possible to get pregnant but possibly harder, but now that it's looking like both ovaries are working I'm feeling better about it.

On another note, I've been using Femometer for years for tracking cycles. It seems to think my test line is only 50-60% of control line. Seems a bit useless as to me it looks like it's almost a peak (I'd say 90%). I'm starting to get pain too, which usually starts within a few hours of my peak (sometimes within an hour!)

@Angelselevenx ah we'll be very similar timings then this month! I tend to ovulate around day 15 x

@moosey89 I say I'm waiting for AF to leave but I normally have 8 day cycles and it seems to be withering away slowly at the moment so maybe it'll be a shorter one!

OH is off on a stag weekend just after O so it should work out nicely without the need to plan DTD.

@Angelselevenx hope that timing is spot on for you! 😁 both September and October are super busy for me so unlikely to be perfect timing so just going to roll with it. Last pregnancy was awful timing but got pregnant from only DTD once over fertile window, the day after my clearblue static smiley! So at least I know it doesn't have to be perfect to work 😂 makes me a little less stressed x

@MrsHousePlant Ah. I remember the cupboard full of test from last time. I am going to try not to buy any until I have missed a period this. Too tempting otherwise. But we will see if I can stay strong. I already looked the cheapies up on amazon.
@MixedCouple Congratulations on your BFP.
I am so glad I am the only one. Exactly now it's only in my fertile phase that I have any interest at all.
@mamamason Have you looked on amazon? Or maybe you can order some in via boots?
@Tartanhaggis How are you doing today? Did you test again? I didn't get a a BFP last time until 3 days after my missed period. And even then it was very faint. I remember being very worried about it. But the line got progressively darker. I remember cramping but I can't remember when that started.
@peonym It only takes one sperm. I think I remember that egg hangs around for 24h. And sperm can survive inside you for 5 days.
@Dee51121 I remember last time having cycles were I suddenly had very light bleeding and thought it was odd. But I think you are just more aware of everything to do with your body when you are TTC. Then again some people get implantation bleeding. But you should get a BFP fairly soon after a missed period if you are regular. I got mind 3 days after my missed period last time. And most people that are testing see one much earlier.

Sorry only got to page 13. Will catch up with the rest later

@figandhoney I'm currently waiting on a 3 set of clearblues including an early test and digital. Would of preferred a frer but couldn't get any. Should be here any minute now

@moosey89 I'm well into my second cycle with this crowd!

@Stardust89 what a lovely positive!! Congrats :)

Think I'm now in my tww, hopefully it won't drag!

First month using opk's, think I might have ovulated on 8th/9th as I got lines on those days and then a faint line on 10th and no line today.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Well I can't be in denial anymore 😅 I got my BFP. It's the strongest lines iv ever had on this journey so I feel hopeful. After a year and a half of trying . Here's hoping it sticks. P.s I had no extra cm no weird symptoms no sore boobs . Nothing except just what I thought were menstrual cramps and ongoing backache. Wooohooooo

I think this is positive it's a clear line congrats xx

@Tartanhaggis congrats, we also got our BFP after 14 months of trying. Was also convinced I was out due to cramping! Really thought AF was coming! Had a chemical back in December so I have been abit anxious!! But trying to stay calm and positive! Apparently cramps are common! Hope they go away though! They make me worry!!

@Tartanhaggis and @Meggan123 Congratulations on the BFP!! That's wonderful. Have a lovely uneventful pregnancy.
With my son it also took 15 months. And I also had quite a bit of cramping and bavk pain early on. I just can't remember if it started before my missed period or not.

@FigandHoney thank you. But it is barely there and hasn't gotten darker.... Not out until AF shows but now have a strong feeling it ia a chemical.....

@Tartanhaggis wooohooo congrats Mama. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Huge congrats @Tartanhaggis and @Meggan123 🥳🥳

@FigandHoney thanks hun, it’s nice to know there are people that took over a year. Makes you feel more normal. All my friends seem for fall straight away so the last year has been very tough. But delighted to finally have a BFP and praying this is our time! Hopefully your second BFP comes a little quicker, I have heard that does happen! But if it doesn’t thats totally normal too! These things can just take time!

Thank you and thanks @Meggan123 congratulations to you too.

My back ache seemed to appear as soon as ovulation was over (maybe it was from all the BDing 🤣)

I'm 38 and my partner has MS so it's been really tough to get the timing right for us. My periods started being weird aswell so I completely thought I was out with no chance at all. I think it can be quite common for it to take a while though I know my mum and dad were a year . Congrats again xx

@Rebeccaemily93 I think they are positive! Try another test but pretty sure they are a BFP, did they come up in time frame?

Thanks @peonym @MMixedCouple 🥰
