Just looking for some company with ladies planning TTC 2023. There's already a thread for Jan 2024 but would be nice to keep company for Dec :)
Initially planned to start TTC 2024 Jan but it's feels time is going too slow and too broody now.
Also, worried about age turned 34 few months ago and feel clock is ticking(just my opinion).

@4LeafCloverBaby now I'm really confused I'm not bleeding anymore😹 what is this cycle! x

TMK23 · 19/12/2023 06:43

Currently in the TWW at 5dpo and it’s going ever so slow 😅 getting a lot of crampy aches like I’ll be coming on soon so we will see.

@everhopefulagain I know what you mean, it’s hard for it to feel romantic when it’s GOT to happen! I’ve just come down with a stinking cold and temperature so we’ve paused for now, can’t help like we are wasting this month’s opportunity!

LottieW93 · 19/12/2023 07:14

Morning ❤️I’m 9DO and decided to do an early test today. I feel like I can see a faint line and even more in real life. What do you guys think? I had a chemical pregnancy last month so trying to keep positive 🙏🏽x

Oh no you poor thing. Me too I'm full of cold and snot. We had the most unsexy sex ever last right 🤣. I'm in the TWW now though so at least we can have a rest.

@LottieW93 there's a squint of a line there!

CharliP33 · 19/12/2023 09:13

Welcome @BeWhereYouAre ! Sounds like you've got everything under control, I do try and destress myself, but it's so hard when I run a business too, maybe the time off over Christmas will do us all good! (assuming people get time off at Xmas) - fingers crossed for you this time :)

tryingfortwo2 · 19/12/2023 09:51

@LottieW93 absolutely, that’s what mine looked like the morning of 9dpo and today I’m 12dpo with a blazing bfp. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

JHL93 · 19/12/2023 09:56

Deffo looks like a line!!

@4LeafCloverBaby now I'm really confused I'm not bleeding anymore😹 what is this cycle! x

A bloody pain in the arse that’s what it is!!! Lol x

4LeafCloverBaby · 19/12/2023 11:30

@BeWhereYouAre welcome to the chat 😊 wishing you all the luck for the next cycle 🍀

@everhopefulagain definitely hets like that…for me it’s the bit after sex that makes it less sexy as we are using a cup thing which is annoying to put in lol & not very sexy at all!!😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@TMK23 I'm 6DPO today & feeling super impatient! When are you due on? Mine is 27th/28th 🤞🏼🍀

@LottieW93 how bloody exciting!!! I can see it! Everything crossed for you hun! 🤞🏼🍀🤞🏼🍀

CP33 · 19/12/2023 11:44

@LottieW93 ooh I think I can see something too! Everything crossed for you!

@tryingfortwo2 That's so exciting also!!

everhopefulagain · 19/12/2023 12:42

@4LeafCloverBaby cup thing??

4LeafCloverBaby · 19/12/2023 13:02

@everhopefulagain yes haha, it’s a fertility cup! Basically you put it inside once he has finished & it pushes the sperm up onto the cervix. It’s meant to help them find it & stop it from coming back out. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought it was worth a go!

gem71 · 19/12/2023 13:04

I haven't been on my phone for a few days in the buzz of it all but I finally got my BFP! I feel soooo shocked because I've been experiencing really heavy period cramps so fully expected AF. Clear Blue digital says in 1-2 weeks, calculator online says I'm at least 4. Still very early days but I'm so excited 🙌🏻🐣🐣🌟🐥🐥💛💛💛

Linalou12 · 19/12/2023 13:22

Congrats @gem71 and @LottieW93 - I see it too!

Linalou12 · 19/12/2023 13:24

Has anyone experienced cramping really early after ovulation? I’m only 3dpo so I think too early for either implantation or period pains- but they were so strong they woke me up last night and I’m sat with a hot water bottle today!

CharliP33 · 19/12/2023 13:32

@gem71 Oh that's amazing!! It's so nice to hear of some positives!! I can't imagine how excited you must feel! 💜

4LeafCloverBaby · 19/12/2023 13:34

@gem71 woohoo!! Congratulations to you hun!!

@Linalou12 that doesn’t sound very nice hun 😕Do you usually get period cramps this early??

Linalou12 · 19/12/2023 13:37

@4LeafCloverBaby it’s a real pain! no never usually at this point in my cycle- usually just 2 or 3 days before AF. Guess there’s not much I can do except wait and see what happens!

4LeafCloverBaby · 19/12/2023 13:43

@Linalou12 yeah I guess so…let’s hope it’s a good sign 🤞🏼🍀🤞🏼🍀

So my update is 6DPO today. I have a horrid taste in my mouth, I think it could be classed as metallic?? Crampy/achey & lots of CM. So could all be symptoms of pregnancy or just AF 🙄 Also obsessed with looking for the implantation bleed every time I wipe lol 🤦🏻‍♀️😭😂
