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

Af due today but no major symptoms. Tiredness is what I'm expecting

Sorry to hear about your loss @LuceNumberTwo hope you're doing ok. How many dpo are you?

I'm only 3dpo and already driving myself mad this month. I think my expectations are high bc of having tested ov and being more sure that we Dtd at the right times. But I think it is making me get my hopes up... need to try and distract myself!

Not helped by the fact my DH is currently looking for a new job (he is an academic so lots of fixed term contracts) and he just got a job offer in Switzerland and has an interview for something in New York on Tuesday 🫠 so everything feels a bit up in the air re TTC, potential mat leave, my job, what we would do with our house... the list goes on 🤣 We know that TTC and having a family comes first though so I just have to try and keep level headed - it's hard!!

When do you plan to test @starryx if you haven't already? 🍀🤞

Hi there!
Well I'm playing on doing it when I'm a few days late :)
Definitely got my fingers crossed that this maybe the month but I don't want to get my hopes up too much

Is there room for one more on this thread? Smile I'm new to MN and the lingo but here's my first attempt: TTC baby 3, 7DPO, AF predicted to arrive in 5 days. Definite sore boobs and I'm sure I felt particularly queasy in Aldi earlier. Trying to resist the urge to test too soon. Any advice on when to test? Sending luck and love to you all for this cycle.

Sorry to hear that @starryx take care of yourself and hope you can enjoy the run up to Xmas - maybe see you on the Jan group, I'm only 4dpo so still ages to wait 😭

SlinkMcSlink · 10/12/2023 10:15

@starryx sorry to hear that. Good luck for the future!

NelliePig · 10/12/2023 13:18

Tested today, 6DPO occurring to my app, however I never got a positive OPK this month so no idea what happened.
First pic pregnancy test taken this morning, 2nd pic just now. What do we think? I can't tell 😂 is it a line, is it evap, is there colour 🥴

I’m now CD 16 and have been testing with OPK sticks and have consistently been v low- 0.1-0.2 according to the Premom app- I’m now spotting? Has anyone had this before?

*edited to add I normally peak CD 14-15

I haven't had any spotting, but I ovulated 4 days later than usual this month (day 22!) and I've no idea why (my cycles are typically 30 days). I'd still keep testing in case your ovulation has shifted back a bit like mine did!

I’ll keep testing 🤞🏻so frustrating and it sounds selfish but if I had ovulated on my normal day it would mean I would be 14dpo and af due on Christmas Eve so if it was bad news I would at least be able to have a good drink on Christmas Day!

bobbles4091 · 10/12/2023 13:44

I don't think it sounds selfish at all, that is very annoying! Sending you good luck for this cycle.

I can definitely see a faint line!🤞🏼 perhaps you ovulated earlier than your app says!
Congrats 🥳

NelliePig · 10/12/2023 15:44

Thank you, also just done a clear blue and v.v.faint line. But a positive on cycle day 20 seems madddd.

@starryx ahh Im sorry to hear that!! Wishing you luck for next month xx

Saffie920 · 10/12/2023 16:01

Hope it's positive for you @NelliePig it looks very promising! 🍀🍀🍀

NelliePig · 10/12/2023 16:10

Thank you, the anxiety is real. First positive trying for #2, but have an auto immune disease this time round so praying for a sticky bean 🙏

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 09:33

Just popping in to say hi! @H938 how are you doing? Any signs of AF? I've stopped testing for now 😳🤣🤣

Congratulations on BFP! & sorry to hear anyone who's out this month 😢🥺 sure I'll be joining you in January xx

H938 · 11/12/2023 10:46

@LuceNumberTwo how many dpo are you? No nothing as of yet- today is CD 26 so would have been today but I ovulated late so I didnt know that means late period. I thouhght it meant i had a short luteal phase 🤷🏼‍♀️ its all very confusing. App says I will come on Saturday so we will see. Ive actually had a few things that have made me think i may be in with a chance this month but could be completely wrong😂 im only 9dpo so no point testing for atleast a couple of days. How are you? Sorry to hear about your loss xx

pontipinemum · 11/12/2023 10:59

@H938 I am a very bad influence but I think I'd test tomorrow. Not a digital yet but a cheapie or a regular CB early detection
