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

@bobbles4091 Eeeeek! Congratulations 💖🥰🥰🎉 Wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy 🤞🤞

@H938 I'm sorry to hear that sweet, if your going to try again for Jan there's a thread open there, but if not keep us updated with how you are 💖 I had held out hope that maybe you were x

@Saffie920 good luck for testing! Keep us updated 🤞🤞

I've the period from hell, really clotty & heavy now, just hoping it slows for.tomorrow! I've got the polar express with DD first😆😆
Just bought the ovulation gear & pre seed.. Reading up it looks like it's worked for a good few, who knows! But why not!

Good luck to anyone else still in the TWW 🤞🤞💖

Sorry to hear that @H938 sending you lots of luck for next month

I have been having some light cramps today and so I caved and tested with mid afternoon wee when 9dpo which was all a bit silly really. It was obvs BFN though I did the thing where you twist it in different lights and could see a shadow (why am I torturing myself?!?)

Really should have just held out until Sunday as planned, but I still have some hope - it wasn't FMU and still v early so keeping fingers crossed

@H938 sorry this hasn't been your month lovely. Everything crossed for January. I hope you enjoy all the festive drinks!

@LuceNumberTwo ah thank you 🙏🏻 clotty periods are the worst. Hope it's short lived!

@Saffie920 I also had a BFN on 9DPO which left me feeling really deflated. I know some people test positive that early but most things I've read say it's unlikely.
Sending all the positive test vibes for Sunday 🥰

Thanks @bobbles4091 🙏 I know, I'm mainly annoyed with myself for testing, after I'd told myself I would wait! At least it was just a cheapy easy@home one though 👍

@LuceNumberTwo ohhh the worst!! The good thing is they dont last long then ovulation time comes quickly!! No doubt will be in the Jan group Xx

@Saffie920 its soo early so dont let it get you down Xx

@bobbles4091 thank you! Xx

Hi everyone

Hope you don’t mind me jumping in. What do you think of this test I did this morn? Think I’m around 11dpo. It was an early detection test.

By the time I got home from work the line had gone!

:-/

I see a line anyways...when you due period...
Retest due date...anytime I did a test and was negative I never had any confusion....I don't think that's negative....

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if it’s worrying that I’ve had 2 chemicals in a row? Or is it all part of the process? 2/4 cycles have been chemicals.

Hello ladies - what do you think? I'm about 9/10dpo and I think this might be a line? It's very faint but I think it has some pink-ish colour in person. Came up after 3 mins

Sorry here is the photo!

I think that's a faint line!!
What sensitivity is the test? 10 or 25? If 25 I reckon if you did a 10 one then it would be more definitive!
Such a great sign so early on!!!

Thank you @bobbles4091 ! It is quite clear albeit faint in real life. Im not sure about the sensitivity of the test (and im away for the night so I don't have the packaging with me) but it was an easy@home cheapy, the ones that come with the ovulation tests. I'll try and buy a better test today!

I'm sorry you've been through this. I think it's hard to say @Pupsandturtles but I'd be thinking it's probably just bad luck. I read that a lot of people don't actually know they've had a chemical, but obviously if you're trying and tracking then we find out earlier. I very much hope this doesn't happen to you again, but if it does I'd say 3 is definitely enough to speak to your GP or a fertility specialist for some advice.
I hope it's okay for me to ask, but was it bleeding that first informed you about the chemicals or did you notice your HcG levels not rising? I ask because I'm 14DPO (which I appreciate is v early), but my pregnancy is only showing on the very sensitive early detection tests. On the cheapies I have no line whatsoever. I know I need to give it more time and check again in a few days, but just trying to prepare myself in case it hasn't worked.

Ah yes I think they're 10, in a pack of 10 with the pink writing and a baby on the front?
Enjoy your weekend away, and congratulations too!! @Saffie920 !!!! 🥳

Thank you @bobbles4091 ! 🙏

@Saffie920 Hello! Just thought I’d say hey as someone else who today has a very similar looking test to you! I’m around 11dpo and very excited 😀

Wow @maybemumtobe ! Yes our tests look v similar - tentative congratulations to you!

@bobbles4091 i never tested positive on a regular test, even when my period was 5 days late. Only the early detection ones. This month my early tests went positive around 11dpo and are now negative. Period is 1 day late.

I spoke to a fertility specialist who was very flippant about chemicals, but it hasn’t helped me stop worrying that something is wrong.

Thanks! Keeping everything crossed for us both!

Anyone else's Premom app losing the plot? Mine is saying my period is late despite it only being CD22 for me. I'm always a 25 or 26 day cycle but the last cycle or so Premom has been jumping the gun and deciding I'm actually a 21 day cycle person. I've beenentering my cycle data since starting to try for a baby in August 2022 so you'd think it would be getting more accurate not worse!

I also use Flo and that's pretty bob on but I like the BBT/OPK graphs on Premom.

Thank you for sharing that with me.
I think it's unreasonable for the fertility specialist to have been flippant with you as your concerns are absolutely valid. I like to feel in control so I think if it were me I might try another specialist, or perhaps use something online like Hertility, just for reassurance. If there's a simple solution, for example taking some extra progesterone or something (that's a wild guess), then it would be good to know. I think sometimes healthcare professionals underestimate the mental toll trying for a baby takes on women when one cycle feels like a lifetime. Sending love to you anyway ❤️

@Saffie920 Congratulations!! Deffo a line xx

Thank you @H938 ! Keeping everything crossed that it progresses well

9 dpo bfn for me 🥲 hoping it's just too early to test! Seen all these bfp is making me test haha

Have you tested yet?? I tested today lol I know I’m still really early Af is due in 7 days

I used clear blue early detection, hopefully I’m not out this month 😭 but I don’t think I see anything
