TTC October 2023

Couldn’t find a thread so thought to create one and see who else will join the community!

Preparing to start TTC early October based on my cycle.

TTC: baby no.2
Age : 29
average cycle is 28 days for me 😊

That’s me out 10dpo AF just arrived few days early good luck everyone onto the November cycle

4 or 5 DPO , anyone else similar? Going out of my mind waiting to test

I have tracked my period for nearly 3 years and it's crazy how different the apps predict ovulation date 🤔

Flo - October 13th
Premom - October 6th
Femometer - October 17th

@Blueberry1990
never just use the apps, you need to use the opk to help guide you as to when, and input that into the apps too

Yes I'm also using them, haven't had a positive reading from them this month so far

@Blueberry1990 I am 2 days late according to Flo but with Clue (which is normally right) I’m due on in 3 days!

11dpo today, AF due on Friday. Pretty certain I’m out now. Got this evap line on my last test this morning and it made me remember how cruel they are 🙃

Sorry ladies this may be TMI but only on day 10 of my cycle, but I've been having an 'aching' feeling down there feeling for the past few days, I've started taking a conception supplement and wondering whether this is just a coincidence??
I've done ovulation tests and they are negative.
Anyone else had anything similar?

@dg3131 me! Trying to also continue my life while I wait. I have a very bad habit in general that if I have a meeting or important appointment in the afternoon I’ll sort of spend the whole day waiting for it rather than doing things - and this seems to be expanded to the TWW as well where I just start googling all things pregnancy instead of other better activities like reading a good book 😅😅

Km8 yes! 3 days before I hit my peak on opk the heavy aching feeling started, felt like I was carrying a water balloon inside my uterus 😂 I'm sure it must be pre ovulation pain so fingers crossed you get your peak in the next few days

@KM8 sorry it didn't tag you on below post

Thank you @dg3131 mine feels more of an aching feeling 'between my legs' 😵 wondering if could just be a rush of hormones etc.....

@Sconehenge story of my life at the minute 😂 when are you going to hold out to test? I was thinking Sunday but I'm nearly certain I'll do one on sat too 😂 my cycles have been all over the place since coming off the pill, usually on the shorter side, but I was certain when I ovulated this month.

Hi all,

Bit late to the thread but my partner and I have been trying to convince for just over a year now.

We had some private fertility tests and I was diagnosed with PCOS. This month is our last natural cycle before I start on medication and I had peak ovulation Saturday. Already driving myself insane waiting for the right time to test.

Just had some very light pink bleeding with a niggling feeling in my hip. I’m 11dpo so perfect time for implantation bleeding.. equally 3 days away from AF (and I was 3 days late last month so never bang on time) so could be AF coming.

Remaining hopeful until the bitter end here!!

@dg3131 I told myself Sunday too but equally I’ve checked my natural cycles app about 4 times today to double check number of DPO (subconsciously hoping they have increased?? 🤣) so I will probably only make it to Friday.

AF really said ‘ha, don’t think it’s your month yet!’ and has arrived 🥴 is there a November group set up yet?

Good luck to everyone still on the 2ww ❤️

@bumptobean ah no sorry to hear that. Yes there is a November group fingers crossed it's a lucky one for us

Hi all, I'm back after a week or so away from the thread! AF came with a vengeance and it lasted nearly a week with the spotting which felt long! I felt like I was getting too consumed with the TTC so took a break from thinking about it. I know there was one BFP on here. Were there any more?

I've bought ovulation sticks this time, I'm cycle day 9 today if going by when AF full blown arrived so will do an ovulation test tonight just to see how it's looking. Telling myself not to get too consumed this month but it's hard isn't it!!

Hope all okay

Another thing that baffles me - currently I'm cycle day 29, premom has my estimated AF start date in 3 days yet I've tracked my periods for over 3 years on the app (just started using premom this month but used flo for 3 years so added all my past dayes to it) and my cycle day has never been under 34 days (normally between 34-44) so why would they estimate it earlier than it's ever been the past 3 years?

As a comparison Flo app estimates it to start in 9 days which is a lot more realistic

I'm definitely out for October, BFN this morning and some spotting last night which must mean AF is on her way ... five days earlier than normal.

@hicketypickety could be implantation? 🤞🏻

@ReginaPhalange12 thank you!! Fingers crossed for us 🤞🏻

@bumptobean I'd love to think so but I also feel crampy and was in an absolutely foul mood at the weekend!! I have started taking a vit c supplement which on Googling now apparently can bring on AF?! So don't know whether to bother carrying on with that now. Too much bloody info out there 😩😩

@Blueberry1990 Premom is always the same for me. Well out half the time. Flo is far more accurate. I only really use Premom for tracking my OPKs and BBT.
