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 ✨❤️

@Quolla tentative congrats, keep us updated!

Well this isn't what I expected to see. 8 days late and still no AF, thought I'd try a cheapie opk. I know this isn't positive just yet, but it's a good sign that something is happening?

@PermanentlyTired03 I’m very similar - AF due to arrive 2 days ago and still no sign. Assuming my period is just late as we didn’t try properly last month, if that makes sense. Just want AF to arrive so we can get on with it!

I can’t remember my pregnancy symptoms from last time either, but I feel awful atm with cold/flu-like symptoms.

Exciting news @Quolla keeping my fingers crossed. Baby dust to everyone else in the TWW ❤️

Hey gang - joining this month's thread as AF has finally finished - this is cycle 4 of trying for baby 2. CD8 today so gearing up for O day in the next few days. My app says it should happen anywhere between CD12 and CD16 - realised I ran out of OPK tests in my last cycle so just done a last minute Amazon order!

That is strange, what CD are you? Are pregnancy tests negative?!

@ThingsLineUp thank you, just ordered a pack! Hopefully this will save some pennies this month
@Daniki thanks! I have a doctors appointment booked next Monday because I’m going to really push for this progesterone to be given for before I’m pregnant as that’s definitely an issue after doing these tests. I’m annoyed they’ve just not done this considering I’ve had a chemical and a subchronic hematoma which lead to my MC. Just ordered CoQ10 so let’s see! What brand NMN do you use?
@Quolla ooh I really hope you get your clear positive in the next day or so!!

@Dogscanlookup I use the Youth & Earth brand, I got the 30g bag and it's lasting ages! I take 250mg of it as I read a lower dose is more effective for fertility than a higher one but on the back it says 250-500mg per day so whichever you prefer! Yea do, i can't understand why it wouldn't be an option. I'm the same it's never been prescribed to me to use before getting pregnant but I have low progesterone and it obviously affects fertility! If it was ivf it would be prescribed beforehand!

Can't work out what's going on with my opks 😫 it's been doing this for over a week now. I had EWCM for around 4 days and that stopped yesterday. Had sex every day for a week too and had a break last night.

Can I assume this is a faulty test? Gave up being patient and tested and there is a dot where the positive line might be 🤨

Hi all 👋🏻 this is my first cycle after agreeing we’re ready to try! Except due to being away and timing, only had sex on O-4 which is pretty low chance (I read about 18% chance 🙈) but we’ll see!

Hi everyone. I'm hopping on this thread. Ttc cycle #4 after a MMC in November 23. Last time I got pregnant I ovulated very early in my cycle, 4 days after my period ended and my cycles are normally 27-28 days. Is this normal? My flo app gives dates I ovulate but I think I'm prone to ovulating early in my cycle. Also not to sound too tmi, but I had so much discharge 4 days after my period ended that I felt like I wet myself. Is this normal too girls? I'm new to ovulation tracking so never really know when to get down to it with my other half. Much as possible really 🙈 thank you for any advice. Baby dust to all. Here's to praying for our Christmas babies

@ttcjourney20001 yep both sounds normal! I used to ovulate on like day 11 and I have a 7 day period 😂 also the cm, I used to have loads aswell!

@PermanentlyTired03 I would say so 😟

Does it normally mean ovulation is near or that's the day of ovulation?
It's all so confusing 🙈

I’m really sorry to hear that you have been feeling so down:(
It is so disappointing month after month and really takes it’s toll.

I have very similar and I always take to mean a ‘good’ day leading up to ov.

Tentative congrats! Hope all goes ok.

@ttcjourney20001 usually means it's approaching so I would assume within the following 24/36 hours

Just getting so frustrated now, feel like I get my hopes up every cycle then just get angry when my period arrives. It's so mentally draining to deal with every month xx

Hi all, haven't been checking for a couple of days over Easter so excuse the mammoth check-in post!

@Sarahk89 Welcome! I'm so sorry to hear your TTC has had a rocky start. Best of luck for this cycle - hope the TWW doesn't drive you too crazy :)

@YaWeeFurryBastard Ah sorry to hear you are feeling hopeless. What I would say is it's very early for any symptoms, but I know what you mean... sometimes you just have a feeling you can't shake.

@Firsttimetrier Welcome! Really hope you have another smooth TTC journey.

@Dogscanlookup I'm so sorry to read what happened yesterday. Hopefully this is the beginning of the journey to finding a solution. The cheap OPKs that I use are also the easy@home and I use them with the premom app, but you don't have to use the app.

@ButItHasCheese Hopefully this is your month, but if it's not taking a breather is not a bad idea just to get a bit of perspective as TTC can be so consuming.

Best of luck for this cycle @WonderingAboutBabies - hopefully it is 3rd time lucky!

@TryTheNight So sorry to read that AF has come.

@Parcou25 7dpo is very early, don't give up hope just yet!

@LindyMoe What you are feeling is totally valid! What I would say to you is that siblings are for life not just for childhood. My DH is 6 years older than his sister and they are so close now. Like with any siblings their relationship will change over time. And I am only child, and I had a very happy childhood and I have a best friend who is also an only child and we have adopted each other. There is no right way to have a family!

@Quolla (Tentative) congrats to you! 🎉

@1woodpecker welcome! Yes it's a lower chance but a chance is still a chance so will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Best of luck to everyone else! I am entering 'shag week', who called it that? I can't remember but you have made TTC more fun 😂

@CoolSummer89 That was me 😂, very happy it's still in use - gotta find all the fun we can in this rollercoaster TTC ride. Wishing you a pleasurable and productive shag week!

I'm 7dpo entering the second half of TWW, desperately trying not to symptom spot and impatiently waiting to test - shag week feels like a distant dream...

@Daniki I'm CD38 going from last proper period. If the spotting I had was a new cycle starting I'm CD9. Pregnancy tests consistently negative. I'm giving up guessing what's happening at this point!

@CoolSummer89 'shag week' made me guffaw, thanks for getting that one into my head! Hope it's enjoyable!

Thank you everyone! Now that I've actually tested I've found some slightly more self control so will wait until the weekend to test again 😅 good luck to everyone else, hope some more lines show up here soon!

@YorkshirePeridot yup I think @ThingsLineUp had shark week (period), shag week (fertile window).
did you have anything for the TWW? Perhaps it should be “make a fool of yourself fortnight”? 😅

BFN again for me today at 9dpo 🙄
