TTC April 2024…Christmas Babies! ❤️✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in April 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of March to April ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

[Daniki]

🙌🙌 thanks for the thread! Hopefully your test will continue to get darker 🙌 12dpo still negative. But have had no spotting so either I ovulated later or the NMN and supplements is balancing out my hormones which is all a positive 😂

[RW269]

I’ve got the feeling I’m out for March, due on tomorrow and tests are back stark white negative this morning!
we’ve got this, December babies here we come!
definitely a positive if it’s balanced your hormones out!
Im going to try the Premom ovulation strips this month! Giving up on clear blue the smiley face makes me angry I feel it’s too vague 😂 hahaha!

[Daniki]

Yea I couldn't be dealing with that and I like the handiness of uploading it to the app and it tells ya, save ya guessing yourself 😂 plus way cheaper! Roll on Christmas babies 🙌🙌❤️

[Daniki]

So strange about your tests tho, wonder was it an evap but it was very dark for that!

[RW269]

@Daniki yeah I think I’ll have fun putting it on the app 😂 ! Make me feel like I’m being productive about it all haha!
I know, I had a really really faint positive last night but barely there so I’m thinking maybe something started and then didn’t want to stay! Trying not to overthink it too much ☺️
On a plus side though, if any of us have December babies that is PRIME time for the end of pregnancy to binge watch Christmas films all cosy 😂

Checking in as CD1 for me now on our third cycle.

I’m getting an exseed home sperm test for DH as he’s never (to his knowledge) conceived before so want to check his swimmers are ok. I had an abortion in my very early 20s after an accidental pregnancy so at least I know I’ve conceived at some point in my life. Sod’s Law isn’t it how accidents happen and then when you’re trying it doesn’t seem to happen despite doing everything “right”.

[Dogscanlookup]

Hellooo! Here we go again then…
@RW269 ah I’m so sorry you’re having negative tests… good to not over think it. Sometimes I think we have too much access to knowledge! Imagine being Victorian and literally just having to wait weeks after your period to know.. probably better that way!

I’m due on tomorrow. Just want to crack on!
@Daniki so you think you ovulated earlier? I’m still hopeful for you!

[Daniki]

@RW269 ya defo don't over think it! Onwards and upwards 🙌

@YaWeeFurryBastard good idea to get him tested, best to have no surprises if you get me! And yes, it's very typical! There is a lady who lives down the road from me who is an alcoholic, currently pregnant with her 11th child, the other 10 are in care and the 11th will be taken away when they're born. It's very sad and frustrating!!

[Daniki]

@Dogscanlookup yea I'm not sure as I didn't actually track it this month, but I looked at my app and I had logged EWCM on day 14 but also again on day 18 so it's possible I didn't ovulate until day 18/19 maybe!? Which would put me actually 7dpo. My app is saying ovulation day 13 and af due tomorrow going by previous cycle. I think I am out this cycle but I would be delighted if my period was a few days late as that would push out my day 10/11/12 follicle monitoring to Easter week when I am on school holidays and won't have to ask for time off! (New job so don't want to be taking the piss 😂)

[pleurotus]

CD4 for me! Nice to see some familiar usernames from the March thread 😅

I'm not surprised March wasn't the month for me. I was not in the best place mentally or physically but I'm motivated to put myself in a better place this month even if it isn't successful I read somewhere it can take 3 months for lifestyle changes to improve fertility.

This will be 3rd cycle trying for 3rd baby.

Lets go ladies 💕🙌🏻 rooting for you all

[RRAEE]

@RW269 Jumped over from the march group after seeing you made a group. TTC no 1. Hopefully this month is our month 🤞🏻✨

[Holls1983]

Hey can I join please? I’m on cycle 3 and just finished AF. Bit of spotting today. Cycle day 1 for a December babaa. I’m 40 and have a DC5 years old.

[RW269]

Nice to see everyone is raring to go!
Anyone going to do anything nice to make the run up to the big O week go faster?
The positivity helps for sure during such a stressful time for us all!
Although it sucks we’re all back in it for April I’m looking forward to a month of over sharing and over analysing with you all again 😂✨

[Dogscanlookup]

@Daniki ah yeah that’s possible! Oh new job atm too, hope that’s going well and not adding stress!

@RW269 we’ll we’ve just accepted an offer on our place and my work is busy and my toddler has Chicken Pox! I but somehow I feel so relaxed right now as waiting for AF is the most chilled time of the month when TTC 😂
@Holls1983 welcome! Sorry if I misunderstood, wouldn’t CD1 be first day of AF? Good luck for this month! We’re also trying for baby no. 2

[SummerSun24]

Checking in for when AF arrives next week 😂 think of the cute Christmas outfits we can put them in 🤩 plus family will have time off over the Xmas period to help out 🥰

[RW269]

@Dogscanlookup oh heck you’re going to be busy enough this next couple weeks then! 😂 That’s exciting about a house move!!

[Suburbandreams]

Hi all, jumped over from the March thread. My OH is a December baby too so hopefully this is our month!

Thanks to those who have shared how long it’s taken to conceive, I too only ever seem to hear one month or years so hearing the in between is helpful.

if it doesn’t happen soon I’ll be ordering some at home fertility tests just to make sure. I did also see a psychic who told me we would conceive in May 2024 🙈 who knows!

[RW269]

@SummerSun24 newborn Christmas outfits are just going to make me melt!! 🥰😂

[WhiteDigestives]

Just come over from the previous thread, hi everyone!

I’m almost certainly out for March, negative on an Ultra Early this morning at 12DPO, AF due Monday and definitely feeling the cramps and PMS.

Thankfully off on holiday on Monday, so hoping a break will do us good before we get started again. We’re planning to try SMEP this time.

@RW269 @SummerSun24 Don’t get me started on the little Christmas outfits! How lovely would that be? I was also a Christmas baby so this would be the best Christmas/Birthday ‘present’!

[Daniki]

The Christmas outfits 🥹🥹🥹

Holiday will be great for you @WhiteDigestives as you'll be relaxed!

I'm feeling a bit crampy now too so waiting on the inevitable!

[RRAEE]

My partner was born December as well 😅

[emmatcc1]

Well the first af has started but it just extremely light brown spotting and no cramping either.

[Smithyb]

I'm 9 dpo I had a temp dip 7 dpo (35.74) next day it went up (36.02) today is 36.09.
Its very low still so I think I'm out this month.
Has anyone ever had a dip and slow increase and had success?.
Natural cycles stated I ovulated on day 15 (I normally ovulate 19-21)
I've had multiple losses since last April so hopefully this April will me my month if this month isn't a success fingers crossed.

[Dogscanlookup]

@Smithyb sorry about your losses! Same boat here and it’s tiring! I don’t track my temp I’m afraid, so unsure there! Fingers crossed for you though!

AF has arrived a day early. I’m glad I can start on this month already!

[emmatcc1]

@Smithyb I had a big temp dip when I was pregnant but it went back up to normal post ov temp.
