Anyone TTC Dec 2023

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).

I’m stressed 😩
I decided to try DTD every other day this month. Only on cycle day 11 so only done it 3 times so far and my bf couldn’t finish last night. Tried again this morning and same issue 😫
We’ve been together 4 years and never had that issue. I haven’t mentioned about trying to dtd every other day so I don’t feel like I pressured him or anything. Only thing different is I’ve spoke to my gp recently and on the list for some fertility tests so don’t know if he’s thinking about that.

@ttcbabyno1x how often do you usually DTD? X

FantasticalCat · 08/12/2023 15:35

So Clue thinks I ovulate today, Flo predicted 3 days ago and Premom thinks it’s tomorrow 😂😂

DTD every other day for now so let’s see how that goes.

I don’t think I’ll be able to join an official 2WW because of the PCOS, and zero idea of my ovulation day!

Anybody else have multiple apps with varying predictions?

gem71 · 08/12/2023 15:52

@FantasticalCat I have been using Flo for about three months. Second month it told me I was ovulating on the 5th of October... went for an ultrasound of my ovaries on the 22nd for other medical reasons and the results showed that I had a dominant follicle - was told this meant I was very close to / ovulating. So now not taking AF as Bible and using it more a journal xx

ttcbabyno1x · 08/12/2023 16:34

@4LeafCloverBaby it differs maybe twice a week. More during ovulation time but I wanted to not just focus on that time! So thought every other day would cover all bases 😩

4LeafCloverBaby · 08/12/2023 16:42

@ttcbabyno1x yeah that makes sense…must be very frustrating for you…& him. I’m not sure what to suggest but fingers crossed for you 🍀🤞🏼

Fawklight · 08/12/2023 19:45

So I think I had LH peak over night. I did the deed on Wednesday. Do you think I missed ovulation?

I got tomorrow with flo, today with femomiter and Sunday with Fit bit

I did LH tests and I think I had a peek over night.

I dtd on Wednesday. I might tonight to cover today Saturday and Sunday 🙈

4LeafCloverBaby · 08/12/2023 19:48

@Fawklight you will ovulate 12-24 hours after your peak so if you peaked lastnight then you will probably ovulate today

Fawklight · 08/12/2023 19:54

4LeafCloverBaby · 08/12/2023 19:48

@Fawklight you will ovulate 12-24 hours after your peak so if you peaked lastnight then you will probably ovulate today

have heard that male tadpoles last up to 5 days?

but I best DTD tonight then as well 😬

Best go tell the husband the bad news 🙈

LottieW93 · 08/12/2023 20:10

I finally had the smiley face on the CB today! Seems we are all DTD tonight 🤣 fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏽

4LeafCloverBaby · 08/12/2023 20:13

@Fawklight i think realistically it’s 24hours but it depends which website you read! Lol. Bad news?!?! My other half would love to have to!! Lol. Good luck 🍀

@LottieW93 yay at last! Go do your thing girl! 🍀 I got my first flashing smiley today so we are DTD alternate nights now until I get my solid. So not looking forward to the tww but glad to have you ladies to share it with!! 😊

LottieW93 · 08/12/2023 20:15

@4LeafCloverBaby I feel the same! Hopefully the TWW will be a bit easier with you all to chat to 🥰

crossing everything for us! 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Wyewaving · 08/12/2023 20:44

Hope I’m ok to join.

We are doing SMEP this month, it’s exhausting 😂

We started trying for our second (2.5 year old daughter born in 2021) in September though I was away for most of my fertile window. Last month we paused as I didn’t want an August baby, if I catch this month I’ll be due right at the end of August 🙄

I ovulated yesterday so after today we get a night off DTD then have to do it one more time, which I don’t really understand as it’s so far after ovulation.

Applesandcake · 08/12/2023 21:01

Hi all!

This month is the first cycle of ttc number 3! I'm just waiting for AF to arrive and for the cycle to begin. I estimate I am going to ovulate on the 23rd of Dec - give or tack - if my normal pattern continues. Very excited. I've been pregnant 3 times (one miscarriage) and always fallen pregnant the first or second month of trying, but I'm 38 now and aware it could be very different this time around.

Tillyss · 08/12/2023 23:07

I got my period, so that's me out for this month. Best of luck everyone!

4LeafCloverBaby · 08/12/2023 23:08

@Tillyss ah I’m sorry. At least the tww is over & you have now started a new cycle. Good luck 🍀

ThelastRolo20 · 09/12/2023 06:25

@Tillyss sorry AF arrived, I hope you have lots of fun Christmas plans coming up and this next cycle is the one x

Mummy2823 · 09/12/2023 07:40

@Applesandcake same! Caught first time last year and 2nd month now!

Applesandcake · 09/12/2023 08:10

Aww congratulations. It’s such a relief when it happens quickly, but I’m very aware there is no certainty that it’ll happen that fast the third time. Although I guess it suggests it there’s a good chance it won’t take longer than the average 6 months, but you never know.

Fawklight · 09/12/2023 09:16

Definitely peaked early morning or over night last night. Hopefully caught it in time I'm now officially in the 2 week wait 😵

AF is due Christmas eve!! Why!!!

Fawklight · 09/12/2023 09:17

@Tillyss sorry to hear that. Hopefully next month.

ttcbabyno1x · 09/12/2023 09:33

Posted yesterday about my partner not being able to finish and ruining my SMEP plans 🤣 crisis averted. He’s back in business 😆 must’ve been having a bad day

Fawklight · 09/12/2023 09:48

@ttcbabyno1x my partner asked for some time off after last night 😅

Wyewaving · 09/12/2023 09:55

@ttcbabyno1x SMEP is so tiring, we were meant to be on day three of DTD after my peak last night but neither of us could face it 🙈
