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 ✨❤️

I'm so happy for you congratulations. How do you feel?

Looks very positive to me too. Congratulations

Thank you love - got my fingers crossed for you too

I don’t think it has sunk in yet! It’s DPs birthday so I didn’t tell him I did the test yesterday and then I did the digital first thing this morning - put the tests in a box for him to open as his first birthday present of the day 🥹

That's brilliant, how did he react?

Aww congratulations @MaybeWeShouldGoToEastbourne what a lovely birthday gift to give 😍 hopefully the first of many!

@UnicornPrincessSarah that looks positive to me! Id be more concerned with the cramps if they were localised on one side. Cramps are quite common early on (I had a lot last time!) just with the womb starting to grown etc.

@Bb542 based on my LMP my due date would be Xmas eve!! And I actually ovulate a bit later than CD14 with having a longer cycle so potentially end up Christmas day 😂 the way I look at it, at least they will always have their birthday off with family and friends! And would probably make a point of a summer celebration as my other LO has a early Jan birthday as well! Just means more excuses to celebrate throughout the year 😁

Hi everybody :)
wondering if someone on this thread could help
me. We’re TTC, it’s early days but my first time trying to track ovulation however I am having trouble reading my tests, from this do you think I’ve already ovulated and missed my peak? Or am I still waiting to ovulate?! My LH levels have been kind of similar for a week now. I had what I assumed was ovulation cramps around cycle day 13/14, as well as increased discharge. As an aside, I do tend to have very diluted urine, I suffer with UTIs so I have to drink/urinate a lot and it’s hard to avoid. Any advice greatly appreciated as I’m so new to this, thanks so much!!

Am I pregnant?!

2 days late, very light pink spotting..

Thank you, trying to stay positive but also want to be neutral to as still early will carry on testing as well

Im not sure if the clear blues are evaps been known to do this or the start of a positive and same for the pink dye as seems some line is missing and smudged

Thank you these are more around the belly button and middle area before pubic hair like mild pms or to full and bloated lol, I am sometimes getting some tenderness on the left side think I ovulated this side as well and had a bit of hip ache when woke up, had some cramps in back as well but I have a tilted womb

That’s where I’m at too they all seem to be dodgy! I did turn the clear blue and half pink line ones into negatives to see if that was clearer - what do you think about these?

How many dpo are you?

If I go off date possible ovulation pain as don't OPK or BTT 12th March flo predicted o date would be 11 dpo if go of pre mom prediction was 14th March would be 9dpo

on the inverted image with blue towel I can sort of make out a second line with that test and second photo with that same test, cant see anything on the clear blue one

Thank you will wait and do another in the morning!

I'm either 6 or 7 dpo as premom said ovulation would be 16th then changed with tests but my peak day was 15th and I'm sure ovulation is the day after peak day but still new to this how many cycles have you been trying?

I can see a line in the 1st and 3rd pictures. Hoping the lines keep getting stronger for you

@MaybeWeShouldGoToEastbourne congratulations!!!
@UnicornPrincessSarah it does look possible, but they do look a little odd the lines. But then you could be quite early. Got everything crossed it’s a BFP!

Oh we must be at the same point in our cycle. I'm so nervous about trying again but really hoping that I have a successful pregnancy this time 🥹 going through loss last time was so hard.

You're so right about the Christmas birthday. It does have cons but also it's such a lovely time of year and I'd make a point of it to spoil the baby mid year too 🥰

I’m a rapid surger and wondering if I missed the peak this month, currently on CD14 of a (usually) 27 day cycle and still such faint lines on Premom OPKs! Usually had a blazing positive by now.
The alternative is that I just haven’t ovulated, but trying not to stress about that just yet.

Still only DTD the once on CD12 (it’s difficult for us sadly - mostly DH health related), but if I did have an overnight surge last night or the night before, hopefully something would still be in the tank, so to speak!

Thanks im either 9 Dpo or 11 dpo and done 3 tests for far with all faint possible positives and AF due wed or Thursday for me

this is my 3rd test taken 2.45pm UK on 3 hour wee hold and just 1 drink line actually come up before 2 mins and this says allow up to 5 mins

@emmies86 This is my 3rd cycle but my second with more effort

Tue 4 Dpo or 7dpo and Thursday 6 DPO or 9 DPO I was testing negatives didn't get a hint of a possible positive till yesterday 8 Dpo or 10 Dpo

I think flo maybe more accurate though as had the cramps 12th and 13th and ecwm, I did start to see egg white Sunday 10th so maybe get a bit or surge just before?

Hi all,

New to mumsnet/this thread and hoping for some expert guidance.
We're on our second month of trying for our first baby , this is the first month I've tried ovulation tracking, as I have quite irregular periods it's difficult to guess when best to do the test.
From this picture could anyone tell me if you think this is 'as dark as or darker than the control line' or if you think it's not there yet? It says not to look after the 3 minutes are up and this was quite a bit after but even the control line took a few more minutes on this particular test so maybe a dud one?
These are just the standard tests I bought in Asda

Thanks and good luck to everyone else trying for their Christmas babies.

@Newlywed24 yes your bottom test is definitely darker 😄
