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).

@DearDarcy hi, pink tinges can be implantation blood! In my own experience I've had this and then had my normal period but it could be a good sign for you! Xx

@jossiwood oh well maybe that was an implantation bleed then! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This is my OPK's currently and it's doing my head in 🤣 I'd rather they were all like 0.04 or something.

@jossiwood congrats! A miracle! How exciting :) definitely makes sense you’re super cautious but hoping for you the lines keep getting darker

@SMD16 how annoying! When is your peak normally? And does it normally gradually rise or sudden peak?

@Butterfly391 prior to the chemical and my 1st born it was always a rapid rise around CD 14-17. Before the rise it would be sat at below 0.1. So no idea what's happening this cycle.

@3ornotto3 im so so sorry to hear your sad news, that is awful, sending hugs 💗💗

@Lowrilawson
Wanted to update everyone so I did a test tonight again and although faint there’s definitely a line. What do you think? Very nervous and don’t quite want it to sink in due to last months chemical. Xx

@jossiwood Aw this is amazing 😍 I also had a chemical in December, think I’m pregnant also, but feels too good to be true lol what will your due date be?xx

This looks positive to me @Babno3 congrats! Also get where you are coming from following the chemical!

@SMD16 oh I really hope it sticks, it’s 4 days until af and I’m about 9/10 dpo so I’m happy it hasn’t shown up any earlier than this, the chemical showed up from 4dpo. Fingers crossed 🤞 xx

That definitely sounds positive news @Babno3 I have everything crossed for you!

I just deleted the data out of premon for nov/ Dec so I could see cycle days and I think I'm having a similar things as last month? Maybe my peaks are just different now?

@jossiwood congratulations
@CP33 I am due to ovulate around 21st/22nd . So just waiting for the fertile period to start again. I am hoping my stress at work and grief from losing my dog isn't going to hamper our chances of conceiving

@Babno3 there is definitely a line!! It's so exciting!! xx

I just took a digital and it says 1-2 weeks 🥲 so I guess I’m pregnant lol Going on a hen party next month so what’s a good story for not drinking 😂

@Babno3 urm, dry Jan, or on antibiotics xx

im CD 34, 14 DPO, AF is 4 days late. I did a test 11 & 12 DPO but both were negative. I’ve had sickness, nausea, achy boobs, fatigue. I’m to scared of the hurt of another negative feeling the way I do. Been TTC for 12 months now.

@Alh96 hiya, which tests have you been using? x

@Lowrilawson first response

Evening all. I think we are about to go through some heartbreak. Top test was taken at the weekend and the bottom test is today after a very faint strip this morning. I managed a four hour hold today and then did the bottom one.

I don't have any symptoms, but I know that means nothing. I feel broken. I'm probably about to be made redundant as well, so feeling a bit rock bottom. At least we know we can do it, I guess.

@KittyFantastica i am so sorry, im always here and you never know it might still be okay xx

@KittyFantastica how many days dpo are you? Maybe book a blood test for hcg? I’m so sorry if this turns out to be what you fear, I know how it feels, happened last month and I’m fearful too so testing every day! Sending lots of positivity and hugs 💗

Thank you @Lowrilawson I can't tell you how much I appreciate having been able to be a part of this little group. Here for the joys and the sorrows. Everyone is so kind.

I can't be exactly sure what DPO I am, @Babno3 as my ovulation tests never actually showed I ovulated last month. Clue and Flo put ovulation on Christmas Day, so if I go by that, I would be around 18DPO. I've seen lots of ladies get blinding BFPs as early as 10DPO. I don't think they'd do a blood test at this stage. I'm only 4+3, and not booked in to see a home until 9+5. The blood test forms they are sending me haven't arrived yet and the GP doesn't want to know because they don't deal with maternity. It would be a miracle just to get through to them on the phone. I know deep down nothing can be done, so I'm just waiting now.

@KittyFantastica aw I know it is a horrible waiting game 😔 I actually want in for blood tests at 3+ weeks to check hcg and they confirmed they were only at 5 and that it was a chemical. But I know there’s nothing you can do anyway. I pray that it’s not a chemical and just a bad test xxx

@KittyFantastica oh hunny I’m sorry you are going through this. I’m hoping it’s not what you think. Sending you positive mess and love 🍀💚

@KittyFantastica I understand, is there anyway you could pay for a private blood test? xx

Not really. I'm likely about to lose my job and I doubt we will be able to pay the mortgage if that happens, so there's no spare change at the moment. I'd like to, but at the same time, there will be no changing the outcome. I'll wait it out.
