Anyone TTC Dec 2023

[Cantcareless]

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).

Something like that, when the second line is as dark or darker than the first xx

OK thanks @Lowrilawson 😊 it's not as dark as those yet so will test again tomorrow I'm on CD 14 now so hoping im back to ovulating normalish again after an odd month last month ...

@Cazzy87 yes I'm the same I ovulated day 14/15 as well I'm on CD19 now xx

Yeh I think it's coming in the next couple of days. I'm relieved as had a weird 40 day cycle last month and didn't ovulate until CD 26 and missed it..x

Thank you 🙏 this evening’s test was finally a bit darker so I think I might be on track to ovulate in the next day or so.

@Cazzy87 looks like we could be tww buddies 🤞 fingers crossed you don’t have another long cycle like the last one.

Lots of people having similar issues with opk. After my chemical last month I ovulated quite late darkest line being cycle day 14 so day 15 I most likely ovulated. I read somewhere that ovulating late can cause problems when ttc. Anyone else ovulate this late? I’m 5dpo and 8 days until at arrives. X

@Cazzy87 have you tried uploading them on the Premom app? It’s quite helpful x

I am so confused what is happening. I have been occasionally spotting since Thursday red blood which is normally a sign that my period will arrive within a few days but it still hasn't started. I have been having light cramping for a few days as well. I am now 15dpo and I really don't want to waste money using the only pregnancy test in my house as it is a first response 🫣

Maybe this is a sign of something positive….🤞 I’d try to hang off for another few days and then use your first response.

I've ovulated day 14 before. December, I suspect it was day 13/14, possibly 15, and got my BFP on 5th January (11/12/13DPO) :)

@Mummysparrow I had one teeny, tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it speck of pink/red blood when I wiped yesterday, and my E@H positive test trip was slightly darker today. I was also due on today and no signs at all that AF is here. How are you feeling?

I'd do the test. Do you have Amazon Prime? I ordered the two digitalis before we started TTC so that I'd have them on had if I needed a solid confirmation at any point, but I also ordered two E@H red dyes (cheaper than the FRERs), and they both showed clear lines too. I do have two FRERS on the way now for 'just in case' scenarios. I know someone who works at our closest pharmacy and didn't want to have to ask them for a pregnancy test 😅.

@onetwoandthree @KittyFantastica period has now started 🤦 typical isn't it. I am glad I didn't use the test. Back to CD1

@KittyFantastica oh that’s a lovely story 🥲 I’m actually going to get some tests today to be ready for next weekend, my af will be due day of my dd’s 3rd birthday so wouldn’t that be lovely 🥰 how am I going to have the patience not to waste the tests 😂

Aw no! That’s so rubbish - sending hugs 🤗 x

I usually ovulate 17 - 18th day after my first bleeding day. My cycles are 32 days long

@Mummysparrow Sorry darling, I didn't see your other post until I'd already dry sent my last. Wishing you all the luck in the world for this month!

@4LeafCloverBaby Due to ovulate on Saturday the 20th, so we're hoping he can be here from Friday to Sunday, so we're just going to DTD each day and hope for the best! I know it's a much smaller chance, but it's better than nothing, he's here for the whole fertile window next cycle, so that's a better chance :)

How's things with you?

so think i may be out this month, had darkest line so far last night but OH decided to have a mardy at me so DTD was out the question 😆men! and then this morning the line was a lot lighter.. so may have missed my surge! going to try coax him this evening 😂😉and tomorrow and hope for the best! we have busy work schedules so evenings are our only time as he leaves at 5am for work every day...

@Cazzy87 Awh bless you, it might still be okay as it's usually the day after the darkest line is when you ovulate so if you could today you never know xx

@Lowrilawson thanks you! i will try dtd tonight.. although i uploaded both strips to premom and both dark line and faint line came back with a low reading... may try my clearblue ovulation reader see what smiley face i get... how are things with you?

@Cazzy87 things are okay I'm 6/7DPO got what feels just like a slight tummy ache. I've got sinusitis at the moment which is crappy but other than that I have no symptoms which is a little odd for me as I always have symptoms of AF around this time so we shall see! hope all
Goes well with you! xx

@Cazzy87 I have also found that the cheap ones are great for me, although I know when I'm ovulating as my discharge changes dramatically the day before so that's helpful ah xx

@Lowrilawson cheap ones seem to be ok for me for now but i have never really noticed any changes around ovulation time before.. but this is the first time i've really tracked it tbh! i'm on cycle 4 since coming off the pill in sept but only really timing it properly from Nov time ish... my ideal would love to get caught before my birthday as turning 37 then in sept x

@Cazzy87 I'm the same came off the pill in July and I'm on my 4th cycle, I just notice the day before ovulation I get the really stretchy discharge and then it's gone the next day and I know that's around the time I'll ovulate. Awh sending lots of baby dust to you xx
