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

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

🤔 can't help with that one sorry - I've read sometime women will
Ovulate twice in 1 month. Go for it with DTD if you can just in case!

Mama09876 · 30/11/2023 21:20

Actually after googling 😂 not sure you can ovulate twice but can release more eggs with an LH surge? I think?! It’s all a bit complicated 😂 maybe that’s what’s happening to you?

Hi ladies. Joining, hope that’s ok.

Onto cycle 3- I think. Well, BFN and CD33. My cycles have been all over the place, 45, 44, 34 for the last three months.

I wanted to feel so excited for Christmas and festive this year but because I dared to let myself imagine having a BFP before then, I now just feel heartbroken. I know that’s silly because it’s not even been that long but im not even 25 yet and everyone around me is getting pregnant immediately. :(

H938 · 01/12/2023 06:32

@Mama09876 @123456789ss well I will just have to wait and see I guess. Starting my two weeks again from today 🫣

@ThoughtfulSometimes Its so easy to let it get you down and its easier said than done but you cannot underestimate the stress factor when ttc - I hope this month is more positive for you! Do you test for ovulation xx

LuceNumberTwo · 01/12/2023 07:57

@H938 Hey! Hope you are doing well! I don't think you are ovulating again, as I got a false positive on the digital aswell, so I would say you did ovulate when you think (got your peak). Also your LH levels can remain increased for upto 5-7 days after you ovulate- thats why the advice is to dtd afterwards also. Hope that makes some season, it's most likely the reason the inks still dark on the the strips!
I've had a lovely week away with family, heading home today to jump my man's bones🤣 I think I'll be out this month with being away, but I've been tracking to keep an eye, as my app said I'm not hitting my peak until tomorrow... But my strip test was pretty dark yesterday! But we shall just have to wait & see

Hope everyone's OK! & Welcome to everyone who's joined, hoping this will be your month 💖 💖

Just got annoyed with myself for testing early (?9/10 DPO) and wasting a First Response.
But there MIGHT be a squinter of a VVVFL there....
It's too faint to see on a photo and I had to shine a torch on it, so don't know if it could just be an indent.
Not sure whether to show my husband he'll see how mental I am or just try again later....

Can you post a picture 😊

Cloclo93 · 01/12/2023 08:49

@123456789ss sorry you did! Yeah definitely a line there 💫

SlinkMcSlink · 01/12/2023 08:59

@123456789ss I see a line!

SlinkMcSlink · 01/12/2023 09:01

Also, I’m only on CD 9 and the ovulation stick has already started saying that LH is high when usually it’s not this early. I did have a chemical at the beginning of last week so could this make you more fertile earlier?

Willow89 · 01/12/2023 09:04

Morning all,

I am CD27 todays and 8 dpo. Period is due today which gives me a very short luteal phase. Tested this morning and BFN. No sign of AF yet.
Only my 2nd cycle since having the coil removed so still very much regulating.

Only symptom of anything is mild cramps and sore boobs but nothing unusual.

I can definitely see a line @123456789ss

LauraTTC · 01/12/2023 09:08

Joining this thread for the first time! Hi all ☺️

Been TTC for over a year now with no luck. My last 4 cycles all stopped being quite so irregular (ranged between 31 and 37 days) so I felt very down this cycle going for blood tests and my progesterone still being super low cycle day 30. Luckily, a high reading cycle day 37 confirms ovulation, and all my apps generally agree on cycle day 30 for ovulation day. Now cycle day 42, no positive test, overdue period etc. trying to remain positive but also just frustrated at how long it takes 😭 (didn’t LH test this month trying to keep as stress free as possible to get accurate blood tests)

Hoping for some positive encouragement. If anyone knows much about BBT mine has been above baseline since the predicted ovulation, a slight dip yesterday (still above baseline) made me expect my period today but it’s gone back up today which has confused me more 😭

@123456789ss deffo a line 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

H938 · 01/12/2023 10:04

@LuceNumberTwo its all so confusing. The strip tests went back down after the first positives then back up yesterday and today and two 🙂 a week apart- i hope I have done enough… we will soon see!!

Glad you enjoyed your time away!! Now you can get home and try a little bit just before you ovulate haha!! Have you been testing? X

H938 · 01/12/2023 10:28

@starryx same time as me!! Fingers crossed. Although im not sure if i am 6dpo or 0dpo now. Will have to just wait and see next week x

Saffie920 · 01/12/2023 12:14

So confused by my tests - my LH levels seem to be steadily declining since cycle day 9 which seems odd. I'm starting to get EWCM today (CD11) but my reading is so low. Has anyone had this where is steadily declines before peaking maybe a couple of days later? This testing is making me more anxious I think!!

Saffie920 · 01/12/2023 12:16

Also fingers crossed for you @123456789ss I think that looks hopeful!

SlinkMcSlink · 01/12/2023 12:34

@Saffie920 I agree. Testing does make me anxious too and then I start wondering whether it’s actually accurate. Maybe you will get another peak in a couple of days?

LuceNumberTwo · 01/12/2023 15:56

@H938 ohhh I'm keeping everything crossed! 🤞🤞
Yes been testing & I've just got home took a digital but no smiley.. think I've missed the peak 😫 but no harm in trying! My test was so dark yesterday morning & this morning though!
@Saffie920 I feel like you either are or possibly have ovulated early? When does the app say you should be?
I think the same for myself, feel like a few of us are having a bit of a mix up with these tests this month! Usually mines are spot on 🤦‍♀️

@123456789ss eeeee! I see a line! This could be the first December BFP 💖 keeping my fingers crossed for dark tests & sticky beans 🤞🤞🤞
