RESTART TTC DECEMBER CLUB

[starryx]

Since I'm out for this month... Best chance to try again in a few weeks

Thought we could start a new chat for everyone who could potentially get their bfp in December or try again

@H938 9DPO today, I did that test yesterday morning. I did a cheap test this morning I think my eyes are fecked, I can't see anything but if I put it on a white sheet I think I can sort of make out the faintest of faint lines but I could be imagining it!

How long are you supposed to leave the stick in the pee? I've read 10 seconds but also been told to wait until the control line shows. IDK if I am soaking them!

9DPO still early - I'd check again in 3 days

Have you tried taking a photo and editing it e.g. increasing the contrast? It helps point out if there's a line there
Still early days though

@123456789ss that's it edited. I think I just need to wait until tomorrow! How are you? I think we've spoken before?

I can definitely see a line there ☺️
Yes we have ☺️

@123456789ss :) hopefully it is. I thought so. Where are you on this lovely journey?

Got a faint line on Friday ☺️
So now the anxiety of TTC has turned into the anxiety of hoping it sticks!

I reckon that'll be a good line tomorrow!

Sending lots of positive thoughts for you both @123456789ss and @pontipinemum - sounds/looks tentatively promising!

I'm still waiting for my LH surge!! I had flashing smiley faces on Clearblue tests this morning and yesterday afternoon so I'm hoping that's a good sign. LH was still v low though this morning. I will try testing again in a couple of hours (or as long as my bladder can hold out!) it's CD15 for me. We've been DTD lots so hope my surge comes soon

@pontipinemum deffo a line. Its just so early thats probs why its so faint. Try in a couple of days im sure it will be darker. Mine was negative and im either 8/9dpo or 3dpo 😂 dont know why I bothered to test. I had the tinyest bit of blood today and cramps all day so I thought maybe it wss implantation. I will wait til Saturday to test again as im due on sunday anyway x

@Saffie920 I never got the flashing smileys just the static one so god knows what that means. Im sure if you are dtd lots you will catch it xx

@wanderlustre oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! It's just a nightmare honestly, I didn't expect much but atleast for them to have told my Gp or something 🤦‍♀️ I wish you all the luck with the IVF 🤞🤞💖

@pontipinemum Might just be a little early, when I was pregnant in May/June. I didn't get a positive on the digital until around 14/15 dpo but the easy @ home strips were positive! Still time 🤞🤞💖

@H938 aww did you cave? That might well be implantation, so it could be that you'll get a BFP within the next week 🤞 also the flashing smiley test is only on a certain test- depends if you bought the more expensive kit or not. I only buy the one which tells you the two.most fertile days.. you can get one which tells you 4 or more - that's the flashing one 😊😊

@LuceNumberTwo dont know why I even bothered 😂 its like I know it wouldnt come up anyway but still do it. Also last month i thought I had symptoms turns out it was nothing and this month nothing but cramping and i feel lightheaded but my iron is always low so thats probs why. Its like we convince ourselves of it 😩🤯 how you feeling?

Hello!! Sorry long time no appearance on the thread - for those that remember me from November I’m away with the fam with toddler in the room over this fertile window…!

Good news is the 35+ degree heat has been knocking my DD out for long naps so we have managed to DTD and i think I’ve ovulated during that time - no tracking this month, but hubby has been keen to try when we can… so although I’m putting it out of mind I am - i think - nervously entering the TTW…

I’ll have a look through the feed but wishing everyone baby dust, hoping you’re all ok - will check back in over the feed with how you’re all doing! Back home come Monday morning so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of me then! Though no early testing for me this time (she says knowing I’ve got a stash of tests at home!) Xx

Hey @ButterflySkies hope you've been having a good trip and well done for managing to DTD whilst away given the circumstances! Fingers crossed for you 😊

@123456789ss have you tested since?

@H938 it's so hard not to test! Well I find it to be anyway. It didn't help that I had 20 tests!!

@ButterflySkies oh wow 35 degrees sounds amazing it's baltic here!! Hope you caught it.

Only about 43 times 😝
My husband wouldn't believe me until I got a digital to spell it out in words on Sunday.
I've now got obsessed with watching line progression (something I didn't know to do with baby #1 and glad I didn't). Trying to stick to every 48hrs but it's just so hard to wait.

Do you have any FRERs?

@123456789ss can't beat seeing it on the digital! I can't seem to get FRERs I'm in Ireland and Amazon don't seem to want to bring them here! I'm rapidly running out of tests once they're gone I won't buy more. I have a dr app booked for Monday for blood though I want a general MOT done anyway.

How old is your 1st child? Mine is 16 months he's a handful!! But yes I want to add another one to the mix

@pontipinemum @@123456789ss yeah I don't think FRERs are easy to get anymore. Think they may be discontinued. Apparently Boots own brand 5 days early with the pink dye are good. I bought some in the Black Friday sale. It was about the only thing I got in the sales. Quite sad really 😂

@wanderlustre I've heard people mentioning those. I live in the back arse of nowhere but will be near a boots on Saturday if I still need them by then I'll stock up! Hopefully I won't

Anyone feeling the pressure of having to dtd on tap? I just don’t have the mental energy at all. Plus knackered from work, it’s dark and cold…….the passion and scientific nature of all this is not very romantic at all! Just a little moan from me!

Hi all, hoping to join, first month ttc number 2 (number 1 is nearly 9months old). Got AF back in November 22nd but it was very odd, only lasted 3 days and was ridiculously light...thought it might be implantation after furiously googling and got a few very faint positives last week but started showing stark white 😔 I've just started with OPKs and tracking via an app. Think I'm ovulating today (cramps and a positive opk (CD14)). DTD CD11, 12 and 14 - hoping that's enough but I have no idea really! So now I guess I sit and wait....don't know how people did this before mumsnet existed!

Hi everyone! 9dpo yesterday morning urine gave me a bfn, thought I seen a shadow line on 2 test. Had to take them apart to see it and hold it under a certain light. Last night something told me to do my last test, was a BFP! Sometimes am urine might not always be better it wasn't for me! Good luck to everyone

Congrats @Amy7912! And @SlinkMcSlink I know what you mean, DH and I were saying last night that it must be more fun TTC in the summer when your hands aren't like ice blocks when you get into bed 🤣

Finally got my LH surge - it was 1.1 this morning and a static smiley so I'll keep testing rest of today but that might be my peak. Weirdly it's nice/ a bit reassuring just seeing it there as it's my first month doing opk.

And sorry to hear about last month @Impatient1987 that sounds really tough 😔 here's hoping for some better luck for us this month

@Amy7912 Congratulations!! I got BFN too and now ive sort of given up and expecting AF on the weekend. I had twp ovulation peaks so either 9/10dpo or 4dpo. Figured id find out the weekend if I come on! X

@SlinkMcSlink yes I know what you mean! Its literally getting the job done
