TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

@UnaVaca I’m so sorry, how long have you been trying? And also how many DPO are you today?

@HashB i ovulate later than the average. Today is 10 days DPO.

So sorry. I know this feeling well xx

Doesn’t help that my period always makes me feel really emotional and down every single month.

Anyone else temping? My BBT is all over the place despite peak around CD12/13. I was unwell twice this month so I'm hoping that might be the reason as I've read it can mess up your cycle (first month trying to do BBT every day).

If my CB ovulation test was static for the first time yesterday morning and stays on for 48 hours does that make tomorrow 1DPO?

About to start the agonising TWW. Though at least this time I’m not on annual leave because last month I was off during the TWW and drove myself quite crazy 😂

@MrsHousePlant yep that's how I've always counted it ☺️ clearblue goes static smiley at the start of your LH surge so you likely ovulate around 24hrs later.

I'm 4dpo now first cycle since mmc in July and totally forgot how much the 2ww drags 😂🙈

@moosey89 thank you! We’ve done all we can do this month so I’ll just wait and try not to symptom spot now 😂 🤞🏻

So sorry to hear about your mmc. Hopefully the next week and a bit go quickly for you. Are you going to start testing early? I drove myself a bit mad last month (first month TTC) with a late period for the first time in forever and many negative tests! I’d like to hold off this time but I know what I’m like!

@MrsHousePlant haha yes symptom spotting is such an easy thing to get sucked in to 🙈 both times I've been pregnant sore boobs has been my only sign so I guess I'd test if that happens, otherwise I'll wait and see if AF arrives which would be around 11 Sept. I don't like seeing negative tests so I'd rather wait. With the previous losses as well, I'd almost not want to have as long between finding out and the 12 week scan 😂 so the later I test the better really!

@UnaVaca I'm sorry, it's so hard isn't it. AF arrived for me a few days ago, I've been in a bit of a funk but coming to the end of my period now & looking ahead at ovulation dates and trying to get back into a positive mindset

@UnaVaca I'm sorry, that's rubbish. I was feeling really tired and a bit down last night. Reckon it's pms (af due tomorrow). Hope you are feeling better soon, once period is over & you have a new cycle to get started with.

@UnaVaca Awwh so sorry. Hopefully this month is the month for you!
Im expecting to start on Saturday and I really don’t want to 😓😓 but all BFN so far

@moosey89 Thanks for pointing that out, I must be a day less dpo than I thought then which is annoying 😂 Currently DPO6

I had a call with a consultant yesterday for advice as to what to do as this is cycle 10 and concerned about my age/ no children yet. She said to give it 4 more months then look at fertility treatments - which I really don’t want to do!

Also prescribed me Cyclogest and Claxane (spelling?) to take once bpf to help prevent miscarriage. All so stressful!

@secondtimelucky87 Yup, I'm temping and it seems to be doing a zig zag too 😂 I've had a very mild cold so who knows. It's above the cover line anyway so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Really weird, I was convinced my period was starting yesterday because I had bad cramps. It’s still not started. Hmmm.

Has anyone here been trying for around a year? I don’t know when to consider either IVF or accept not having children, neither of which I ever thought would be options

Hi jumping on. First time on a TTC thread.

Hoping to start TTC Baby no 2 this month. Still BF DC1 but think I may have had my first period since having DC1 2 weeks ago so would be CD 15 today. I say think it was a period because it was a lot lighter than my periods would usually be 🤷🏽‍♀️

OPKs have been negative so far but I do have irregular cycles so can’t really predict when my fertile window is without doing the tests. Will just keep doing them every day and hopefully Ov happens soon!

Baby dust to all 🌟

@Riverofhope i‘’m not in the year + camp but I do know of lots of couples who’ve taken longer than a year but still end up conceiving.
This whole process can be so disheartening and everything feels so uncertain, I’m sending you a hug xx

I feel like I might be out this cycle. I remember a very particular type of discharge before my last period and I’ve just got that again 👎🏼

Jumping on TTC baby no. 2.
I got really obsessive with my first tracking everything, symptom spotting and doing early tests and told myself I would be more chill this time.

But here I am 4 DPO checking my nips to see if they've got any darker 😂

I actually regretted testing so early last time it made the first trimester feel really long so I'm really trying to hold out this time until maybe 2 days before my period but that's feels like so far away.

Baby dust to you all. So nice to have people in the same boat

@Riverofhope I know a lot of people who tried for 1 year + and had babies without IVF

Have you talked to your GP or thought about any testing?

I’m pregnant

@UnaVaca Congratulations! 🎉🎉

@UnaVaca congratulations!!

I’m in shock. Last night I had horrendous cramps!
