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

@wanderlustre I've been thinking about you, I know you feel about the only one not getting a BFP.

CD8 for me today but I'm still spotting which means I've had spotting or my period every day for a solid two weeks now. Can't be normal

@PolkaDotDotjust saw your question on CM - i have literally never noticed mine! I think testing is alot easier to work out when you are actually ovulating. I done it for the first time and i was quite surprised how early I ovulated - also used a digital so fingers crossed that it works!! I also for the first time ever noticed that on the day I think i ovulated i had a little tinge of blood in my CM.

Currently 3dpo (according to my app) and I got a positive ovulation test on 25th and got to be honest i feel absolutely normal - nothing to report lol! Only 9 days to go (app says test on 8th) 😴🫣

Hey everyone, it's CD9 for me today and I've done my first (ever) opk. It was darker than I was expecting (I normally have roughly 28-30 days cycle to expect I ovulate around CD14 or 15.) the app is marking it as low though. Do you think I am likely to ovulate quite soon or does the darkness of the line not mean much?

@Saffie920 mine looked just like that and the app was saying low- I had to change myself on the app. Il put a pic. On that day i done a digital one and got the peak smiley face. I would keep testing but also assume you are going to ovulate pretty soon x

Thanks @H938 I think I might also try to get my hands on some digital ones to be sure. I've been quite unwell with food poisoning for the last few days and so we haven't been DTD much, so I'm just keen not to miss my peak!

Hi All!

I had a BFP in the last group but it went at 5 weeks 😫so hoping for something to stick this month.

We DTD leading up to peak day, on peak day and the day but I didn't peak until CD 19.

@Wonderpants3 I have the highest peak I have ever had this month as well. Hopefully it bodes well for us both

This literally sounds exactly like me! BFP that ended in bleeding at 5 weeks and a really high peak. My peak last month was CD24 but 22 this month, I've heard lots of stories about conceiving the month after a CP so fingers crossed & baby dust for us this month, I'm 7DPO today and trying to work out how long I can hold off testing for, luckily this is the busiest time of year for me at work so very occupied!

It really is mind blowing how many chemical pregnancies there are. You just don’t realise unless you’re going through it. The Xmas activities begin and I start thinking when am I supposed to fit in actually dtd? 😆

@pontipinemum so, so sorry to hear about your chemical last month. Positive thoughts for this month x

CD 9. When does everyone start to get positive readings on ovulation sticks? Mine usually day 11-12 and ovulation is around day 14-16.

@SlinkMcSlink I use easy at home on the premom app, I was getting what looked like positives on CD 16 with my peak on CD17

@SlinkMcSlink mine said CD 11 - confirmed with a digital (never tested before) still had some EWCM up to today so unsure if I ovulated 4 days ago or now!! Although the tests went back down to low readings. How would I ever know 😂

Im confused because i should be 4dpo but still got CM which is now white. I dont know if thats normal at this point

@pontipinemum so sorry to hear that! That must have been so hard. Sending lots of love that this month treats you more kindly.

@pontipinemum @Wonderpants3 feel for you, I also had a chemical last month so was hoping this month would be more fertile- however I had norovirus (!!!) on my ovulation days, so didn’t get to DTD very much (…. For obvious reasons). We missed the days leading up to ovulation as I was so sick, only hit ovulation day which, as far as I understand, isn’t a very fertile day. Generally feeling very down about it & dreading the next 2 weeks!!

@wanderlustre thanks, TBH it hit me harder than some of my MCs that were further along. I just really thought it was all going to be fine. DH didn't really want to TTC again this month he said 'lets just wing it' but I did OPKs anyway. But I think I will try and reign my excitement in a bit until I see that little heartbeat

Sorry to hear that @pontipinemum and @Pupsandturtles hope you're both doing okay xx

Hi everyone! Cycle day 6! Cycle 23 ttc, hoping december 2023 will be lucky for me lol

Anyong got any ideas on this - digital says not fertile but the strip test is so dark 🤔i had a positive on the digital on 25th

Hi all, jumping on at cd17 / 1dpo,
I got my peak OPK on the evening of cd15 (and plenty of fertile cm) so we bd cd15+16, so really hoping we’ve timed it perfectly this month!🤞🏼
my luteal phase is usually 10days, so hoping to test at 11dpo at earliest.

I had a previous mmc back in sept (11wks) - a blighted ovum - which we were absolutely devastated, then 7 weeks until I got my first period back (didn’t ovulate during that time).
so currently on 2nd cycle ttc again.

what a rollercoaster of a ride all of this is, but it’s nice to have this forum to connect with others in the same boat!
fingers crossed for lots of bfp in December ❤️

@H938 That’s very confusing the difference between the dye and the digital test. Not sure which is more accurate.

I think if you don't use the digital for 3+ days it will always show a O when you use it for the 1st time again. You could try again and it will likely be smiley or static

@123456789ss thank you! Will try again, im so confused with it all - i thought I already ovulated. I mean we dtd quite a bit and yesterday too so I will make sure I keep going just incase lol x

Ok re tested and … so thats the second one this month does it mean I didnt ovulate 5 days ago

@H938 that is very confusing. I have never used CB ovulation tests so I don't know. I think I dtd tonight just to be sure!

@H938 that is confusing? Sometimes you can ovulate twice in a month though? Possibly happening to you?
