December TTC & TWW more the merrier!!

Hi ladies... Here we go again.. I'm currently CD 12 and have just got my static smiley and a HIGH on my E@H. We're doing the deed as much as we can and will continue to do so for the next few days, haha. I haven't obsessed so much this month, and it's taken lots of the stress away. Fingers crossed for us all and join in if you want to do the TWW together!

Hello,
CD7 today so just starting to test for my peak, which will hopefully be next week.
It’s our first proper month of deciding to actually try, so not expecting much but always good to have hope! 🤞

Hi lovely,

It's such a drag, isn't it? It feels even more so when planning or actively trying for a baby!

I'm CD13 today and had a high reading yesterday of the strips, so we are just DTD as much as humanly, possibly with 4 other kids, haha!!

Is this your first baby? You never know. It only takes one session. 🤞🤞🤞

Hi lovely

I'm just at the beginning for myself, haha. It's the longest two weeks isn't it! I've had my peak OPK yesterday/today.

I can definitely see a line there however! I used 7 clear blue ultra early last month and all came up positive. I actually wasn't pregnant. All red dye tests were negative. Very very misleading. I'd definitely get some red dye tests and have another go tomorrow/couple days x

Definitely - the 2WW is brutal!!

Thanks that's really insightful - I have another 2 clear blue so I will do one first thing tomorrow morning and then tomorrow try to get hold of some pink ones & see what happens. Should know by Thursday either way with AF...
wishing you the best of luck!! keep us updated x

Likewise lovely, keep us updated, too, and fingers crossed for you! I can definitely see it looks positive. I'm just super sceptical with them now! Xx

BFN this morning 😢 af due tomorrow so onwards & upwards.

sticking around to wish you guys the best though!

Hope you don’t mind me joining. I just turned 40. I have a dd through my fourth round of IVF. No success since. Due to this and now my age, I just gave up and accepted I’d only have the one which I was lucky to have. Then last month, (week of my 40th) period is late and positive digital. I was shocked, sadly it was a chemical and lost it at 5 weeks. Now I am 12dpo and feel similar to last month so did a cheap one step and I got a line I think! Can anyone else see it?

Everything crossed for a sticky bean for you xx

Yes it was within time frame. I then did a boots test later (no real hold). TMI looked diluted and BFN. I wonder if false positives are common with one steps? Only 12dpo so I guess still early

I defo see a line!!! Tentative congratulations. Keep us updated <3

Bonster37 · 06/12/2023 21:04

Actually there’s a really faint line in the boots test too even though it’s diluted. I’ll do a one step again tomorrow morning

moosey89 · 06/12/2023 21:23

Hi all - I took a month away from the forums because I was struggling. Back into month 5 of trying since my most recent loss (no kids yet), CD3 after a long cycle that gave me false hope and made me feel even worse!

Still have a tiny inkling of hope for a 2024 baby, 3 more months to see if that can turn into reality (or at least a bfp to give it an opportunity!). I appreciate the bfp is only the first step on the journey but it would be nice to get one sooner rather than later!

Bonster37 · 07/12/2023 01:15

@moosey89 Sorry to hear of your losses. I had a chemical last cycle. Previous to that I could not conceive at all. It’s not an easy process 💐

anonhop · 09/12/2023 23:32

Af was due on Thursday but still nothing...I am normally v regular. wondering if I could've had a chemical as this was my test on Thursday morning first thing.

This is so rough 😩

Here is another photo I took of my Thursday morning test. Almost like there is a shadow there, but as it was day AF due & it's a 6 day early, pretty sure it's BFN!! So frustrating. DH going to buy some pink dye tests tomorrow as we haven't tested since Thursday but tbh not hugely optimistic.
Hope some others are having more luck!

Queenie901 · 10/12/2023 22:43

Hi Ladies,
Ive been ttc for 3 months now, on month 4 and I think im 11dpo today - not 100% sure if I ovulated as I have been on a plane (and was told by Dr that this can upset your cycle!) I almost always get the egg yolk to confirm my ovulation but didn't. We dtd during what would have been my fertile week though.
I took a test this morning BFN, as I've been feeling a little dizzy, and (here comes tmi!) after dtd I've had a really sore... down there. It feels different... like tighter
Anyway, aside from this I had a very light pink cm yesterday which sometimes I get closer to af because I have a polyp on my cervix which gets disturbed but that bleeds a lot and lasts about an hour. This was different, light pink and so light in volume, then I've had the same again tonight without dtd so my question is (after that long winded explanation!) does anyone think that could be implantation? Is it too late?

Don't have my usual af symptoms either...

I feel like I'm clutching at straws but thought someone might have had the same to shed some light?

Bonster37 · 11/12/2023 07:44

I think you need to start using OPK to confirm ovulation. Clear blue are the best as you aren’t comparing lines. It’s digital and once you get peak, you ovulate 24hrs after. Egg white cm isn’t 100% reliable. Also I know it’s so hard but try not to test unless AF is late/due. It takes so much of the anxiety away. You know the test is fairly accurate at that stage.

8DPO and a BFN with a FRER.

Not holding much hope.

How are you all doing?

Hi lovely!!

AF is due on the 21st!
I would have thought on a FRER that there would be something, maybe? I suppose I'm trying to avoid disappointment haha.

How are you getting on xx

Oh gosh, these tests are the devil. 7 positives last month and all dodgy. All came up within the time frame, but all red dyes were negative! Xx
