TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

@ceruleansky thank you. I am starting to feel better and now my period finoshed wopping 10days long. I feel a bit more like myself. No they won't investigate this kinda thing. They say it is so common and that's why we shouldn't test before AF. Every Dr I have ever spoken to say now testing before 14DPO or day of missed period.

Yeah it is so hard with symptoms. So I am ignoring it all this month and not testing at all. I have had every pregnancy symptom as PMS.

The Fertility Dr I spoke to said to use the OPK strips as your can see peogreasion in the line and you can add them to a binder and see the change and compare over the days. Ahe also said ot can be helpful too teat twice a day once the line starts to get darker as the change in LH can happen within hours. Might be worth a go for those using Digitals.

Gonna try and get a FRER tomorrow but Asda by me hasn't had them in for a while and Amazon won't be here until next week 🥲

Your progression lines are beautiful btw! ❤️ thank you for sharing them ❤️

@ShivWesker 🤞🤞 everything crossed for a darker line tomorrow, what dpo are you?

10dpo 🥰🤞

@ShivWesker I think I had a similar shadowy line at 10dpo. Let us know how you get on! 🤞🤞 also just FYI, not sure if it is the same for everyone but my SMU came out so much darker then my FMU!! So try both! (Fully aware I am a crazy person when it comes to testing - had a chemical previously)

@MixedCouple do you use the app as well or just keep a file of the tests?

I am just entering my 'fertile window' I've been doing OPKs every day since my period finished, LH level is still very low but it was like that when I conceived DS it was low until my peak. So hopefully I have a peak this week!

DS is now 14 months, it took 4 years to have him so hopefully won't be as long this time

I've started spotting so I'm definitely out this month 😔 do I log AF starting today or as it's only a little bit would I put it as tomorrow if it starts properly through the night?

@MixedCouple 10 days!!! Oh my.. that must have been annoying..
I see, I hate the fact that they can't give us any reasoning or advice us how to avoid it in future. They're so casual and matter- of- fact about everything!
I'm glad you're feeling better and waiting to test and not stressing yourself out.
I'm trying to do the same. At this point I'm not looking up anything I'm just listening to other people's stories and being positive for everyone.

@ReginaPhalange12
The dreaded AF:/
I read that if the period comes at night it doesn't count as day1.. the next day is day 1.

@pontipinemum
I just started to use Fertility Friend and will upload my photos onto the app of the OPKs.
I have been the same last 2 months it stays faint and only is dark like the control / darker for 2days and then back to faint. Not seen a slow increase 😂
I usually start in CD11. Last month I had my peak on CD20 so might be a while.

@ceruleansky thank you!

Good luck to everyone still waiting for BFP ✨🤞🏽

Thought I'd update! Bfp 11DPO 🥰🥰

@ShivWesker I had a feeling!! Like I said, never had an evap on an easy@home!! Congrats hun!

Thank you so much 😭❤️ this is my fourth and last baby so I cried so bad when that came up ahah 🥹❤️

Think I am out this month, two days till AF

Took a test, can't see a line 😔

@ShivWesker congratulations!! 🥳 that's going to be me this time... 3rd and last 😢 enjoy it!

Baby dust to you chick, it's my last one too :( ♥️

AF came today so moving over to next months chat 😔

If my LH surge was yesterday - and I managed to DTD yesterday, should I do it again today?

@123456789sw I would - last time I got pregnant we only DTD the evening of the day after my peak!

Thank you 😊

So today is supposed to be ovulation day! But my LH is still really low. It was only 0.18 yesterday I normally test around mid day

@123456789sw we look to be around the same point! I'm TTC no 2 and finding it a bit more of a 'chore' this time around compared to 1st time. DTD last night but I was tired and would have happily just gone to sleep

Good to know someone else is going though the same thing ☺️
you did better than me. I went to bed naked, but OH didn't get the hint and he was asleep within 3mins 🙄

@123456789sw 😂😂DH was watching a movie but I was practically asleep the couch so went do. By the time I did teeth/ face etc and got into bed he arrived and was like 'so we doing it' 🙄so romantic. TBF I think he is taking all the opportunities he gets, after DS was born I didn't let him near me for months. Even after that my interest was very patchy.

Do you have any other children?
