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 😊

@dg3131 m 5dpo!! How are you feeling?

@MrsL2019 I'm feeling pretty normal 😂 not sure if that's a good thing or not, my boobs are a bit sore but other than that no symptoms to report really. How about you?

@dg3131 yes same here nothing yet but i didnt get any symptoms with my girl until after the positive test! My boobs are abit achy and tender to the touch and they never get sore, but im fully aware TTC makes you imagine symptoms🤣

Anyone had a random 1 day period? 🙃 AF came 3 days early (I was supposedly due on tomorrow), cycle length was as it normally is, I’m usually on for a good 5 days.

Thought maybe it could be implantation as it’s very light (but still red blood) but I got a negative yesterday.

@MrsL2019 yep I was the same for my little boy, just did a test the day my period was due and was BFP. That was 4 years ago tho and we're on cycle two of TTC number 2. Hopefully won't take too long but also don't want to get my hopes up.

@bumptobean could be implantation, when i implanted with my little girl i had the bleeding at about 8pm on the saturday night, tested neg on the sunday but positive on the monday! Fingers crossed for you🤞

@dg3131 i thought id be more relaxed this time knowing ive already gone through all of this, but as soon as i was past ovulation i went crazy about it all again🤣 it really consumes you doesnt it!

Hi ladies hope everyone is well! I'm on CD12 and looks like I'll get my peak on OPK tonight - only problem is, no fella until tomorrow night 😒 will obviously pounce on him as soon as he's home 🤣 but please tell me I still have a chance this month 😭 x

@MrsL2019 ah I wish it was but I did do a test this morning and a BFN! Was originally due on today so think I’m defo out!!

Would anyone recommend tracking ovulating even if I’m DTD’ing every other day? I’ve never tracked ovulation before but after this weird 1 day period I’m thinking maybe I should?! 🤷‍♀️

@bumptobean i would track ovulation and follow the sperm meets egg plan. The success rate on that is huge, i fell 2nd month trying that plan with my girl

I took a bit of a break too @TTCnewbies but checking back in today. Think we are cycle buddies again this month - I’m CD11 today. Had a scan this morning and two follicles look promising - hoping that I ovulate naturally in the next few days but, if not, I’ll have a trigger shot on Monday.

Hope everyone is doing well and hanging onto their sanity in the TTC madness. Crossing fingers that this is everyone’s month.

@hicketypickety , hope you’re okay - the information out there on vitamins and supplements is overwhelming and contradictory. So hard to know what we should be taking!

@ceruleansky , I’ve lost track a little but would love to hear how you’re getting on - has AF been brought on yet? Hope you can get cracking with the new regime soon.

Lovely to hear from you! Yes I'm CD11 today too. I've actually bought some ovulation sticks now but we are away visiting family this weekend so no chance of DTD so I've not brought them. We will be back Sunday so I will do one in the afternoon and we will DTD as much as possible next week.

Keep me posted :)

@DoloresOnTheDottedLine so nice to hear from you! Still spotting but no sign of AF in full glory.. just annoying now 🤣🤣

AF does like to tease us when we’re down ! 😣thinking of you all

@MrsL2019 caved and did a test this morning. BFN 😭 but only 8dpo so still holding out hope

Hi everyone,

Gosh this journey really is consuming isn't it. I'm 7dpo and been fine up until now when I've started cramping with sore boobs now my brains going into overdrive thinking is it isn't it.

We did have some good news this week as we have received our first appointment for a referral to an NHS fertility clinic (we already had tests privately) so hoping we can get some support soon.

Fingers crossed for everyone this month! 🤞

@dg3131 dont let it dishearten you 8dpo is too early to show on a test for 99% of people. I had some brown bleeding last night before bed at 7dpo, hoping its implantation bleeding. I had implantation bleeding when i was pregnant with my girl but that was at 10dpo

@MrsL2019 yes it sounds like it could be! Fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 I feel like time just stands still during these few days, I'll do another in the morning.

@dg3131 tww is so difficult isnt it! Literally drives almost everyone insane! I plan on testing on Thursday if no signs of AF

AF arrived so I'll be on the November pag,e, best of luck to all

Can I ask for your help with my OPK chart ladies? I don't think I've ever had a fully positive OPK in 1 year 😅 but do you think I ovulate today? Boobs hurt & have EWCM which I usually get but I'm just hoping my tests look good 🙏 fella got back last night so we have already DTD twice 🤣

@MissSB18 from having a look I'd say you're ovulating today looking at your peak yesterday? Hope I've got it right!
Glad your hubby is home 😉 🥰

@KM8 thank you so much for looking ❤️ how are you doing? X

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind me joining. How are you all doing?

I'm TTC baby#3 . I have a 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son. Unfortunately I had a miscarraige at 11w 4days back in July (sadly after we'd had a scan at 10weeks and seen a heartbeat). We were obviously gutted. Not hopeful for a BFP this month, but I have 5 days to go until I found out either way!

I am exhausted beyond belief though!!

@MissSB18 no problem at all! Good luck with your baby journey!
I'm doing good thanks, each time my period arrives I feel deflated this is cycle 4 of TTC but each time my period has ended and I approach ovulation I start to feel a bit more positive again! I'm on cycle day 13 today 😊

@MissSB18 the positive OPK looks good! I would dtd again today and tomorrow if you can🤞
