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).

@Butterfly391 ahhh congratulations 😃😃❤️ I'm also 9dpo today according to my app, think I might try buying a boots one tomorrow/Tuesday, I can't seem to find frer anywhere! I don't feel I have any symptoms at all this month but they the negatives I have had I thought I had symptoms haha so you never know!

@hol92 ebay does them but I haven't found any local shops

@hol92 yes try Boots! My vvvvfl didn’t show until I double checked it again an hour later mind you, hence me double checking with a different one at lunch time.
I’m keeping everything crossed you get great news too!
I also didn’t really have any symptoms this month. My fiancé says I’ve been moody but I think he’s imagining and symptom spotting! 🤣
I did have some implantation bleeding on Friday morning but I also had spotting at the same time last month so wasn’t getting my hopes up x

@hol92 the vvvvfl on Boots 10dpo

@Butterfly391 A line is a line 😃 I'll definitely get some tomorrow then :) did you use your morning pee? I guess the only thing that is making me hopeful is after ovulation I didn't notice much reduction in my discharge (sorry for tmi) but other than that nothing at all really!

@hol92 yes the Boots was first pee.
ok, could be a sign! Keeping my fingers crossed you! Please let me know how you get on x

2dpo…bored of the waiting already ⌚️👀😂🤣😭🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi again everyone, my period was due today or tomorrow I am pregnant, several confirmed tests including digital and dark lines continuing. Today I’ve had cramps in my lower abdomen and thighs and now I’m panicking that tomorrow the bleeding will start. It’s exactly what happened when I had my chemical, only difference was I have no spotting yet at all. I know I’m just panicking but is cramps common this early? I’ve already been pregnant twice before but can’t remember lol xx

@Babno3 there can be a lot of reasons for cramping bub! I'm sure it will all be fine! Can be just your uterus stretching a little or thickening xx

@Babno3 I have read that cramps are very common in early pregnancy

@Babno3 i can’t speak from personal experience as this is my first, however echo what the others say. I think early pregnancy cramps can often be mistaken for AF arriving. Also my app tells me cramps are common…! Please keep us updated, hoping for the best x

@Babno3 I definitely got cramps with my first as I remember panicking all the time! They went on for about a month :)

Has anyone ever used the Tesco pregnancy tests? I am 10dpo and found some this morning, am tempted to just do one but am worried after reading reviews (although the threads were old!) x

I caved and did one and got a faint positive... I'm really regretting it as I told myself I wouldn't bother about what it said incase it's a fake positive as read a few bad reviews on the Tesco ones but am feeling myself getting exited so I've now just made myself worse 😫

Here’s hoping it’s a real positive for you 🤞 will you test again in a couple of days?

8dpo here, too scared to test. Always wait for AF to show up but torture myself every month convincing myself it won’t arrive 🤦‍♀️

@jossiwood Aw lovely, I'm so sorry!

@DearDarcy Ooh yes, I can definitely see something!

@4LeafCloverBaby You mentioned a fertility check, where did you go to get one? I've been considering it as we've been trying on and off for quite a while now x

@Cazzy87 Yea I keep drifting in and out as I've not much to report too! But I keep reading the thread, so lovely to have all you lovely ladies!

@Butterfly391 Oh amazing! I can definitely see something!

@hol92 We all know what it's like, it deffo looks like a line - here's hoping it sticks for you too!!

@onetwoandthree that's exactly why I took one, last month I was 4 days late and was going to test the next day as it was my husbands birthday and i came on just as I was going to test :( so this time I thought I would test early so I don't have that wait but now this has threw me off!
Fingers crossed for you too ❤️

well i'm def going to try hold off for missed AF after getting so worried about it last month and then having a weird 41 day cycle i'm trying not to get too hopeful!

@hol92 i see a line too! Retest tomorrow? And breathe! Praying things progress for us both x

@Cazzy87 sending you so much luck! Everything crossed! When is AF due?

@Butterfly391 both my apps say 22nd, so a week today

I went got a test from boots which I just did and it's also a faint positive, I don't want to get my hopes up as I know it's very early but I'm so happy! this is cycle 4 and it took us 2 years to conceive our first so I can't quite believe it! I would love to tell my husband tonight as it's his first day in his new job so would just feel like a nice day to tell him but would you wait a little while first? As also don't want to disappoint him if things didn't turn out how I hope they will xx

@hol92 that’s definitely positive! Wahoo! Depends on you tbh….I wanted to wait until I was more sure but just couldn’t 😆 he’s very supportive now of little freak outs I’m having already so I’m glad I told him. And if it doesn’t progress we will get through it together.

@Cazzy87 ok, one day at a time…but I understand it feels like the longest week ever!

@Butterfly391 I don't think I could keep it from him either haha last time I tested on the day of the missed period and told him that day which is still early but I've just never tested before my actual period so in my head I keep worrying it will still come, how did you tell yours? :) x

@4LeafCloverBaby how's the waiting going? xx

@Lowrilawson soooooo boring!! & I’ve had flu so I’m off work which is long. How’s you? x

@CharliP33 I just googled some private fertility clinics in my area & looked at the pricing & ended up choosing the Agora clinic in Brighton. It cost £395 & they were really great

@4LeafCloverBaby Awh no you poor thing! I'm okay due today but nothing has appeared yet, done cheap tests which are negative literally in Sainsburys now getting some better tests for tomorrow if period still hasn't come I've got the lightest tinged discharge which is bizarre, my cervix is high and soft! Confused as I'm never late but negative tests so not hopeful xx
