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 ✨❤️

@MotherofGods The sticks! Their own brand 5 days early tests are great!

The sticks that are the early detection ones

Hi everyone.
I had a MMC in December last year and we've been trying to conceive ever since. Just want to be pregnant again, was heartbreaking. My cycles are normally 27-28 days and I think I ovulate on about day 11 or 12. My ovulation date was supposed to be the 29th of March, and I've been feeling really nauseous and headaches and cramps. Took a test today (an early detection one up to 6 days before) although I'm not due AF until 13th April. I could swear these symptoms are familiar. I couldn't hold the urge to test but saw no lines. Is this normal to get a negative at this stage? I'm driving myself crazy every single month and holding onto little specs of hope every month praying we get blessed again. I should be 6 months gone by now and now struggling to conceive again.
When should I wait to test? I really hope it's not me out for this month, but I'm starting to lose my mind and hope with every month that passes

Brill! Got a 2 pack! 🤞🏻 xx

Thank you! Xx @Ncl31

Seeing people get their BFP is the motivation I needed for a negative day! I'd felt down but now I'm on here smiling for you guys!

Went and got the test suggested, my partner says he can’t see anything:( maybe try another In the morning 🤷‍♀️🤔 xxx @Daniki @Ncl31 🖤

I need help! I was on the March TTC chat but had a CP so decided to skip this month, I haven’t even tracked my ovulation this month, and normally I get ovulation cramps so I know when it’s happening anyway.. but this month I’ve had no cramps so I don’t even know if I ovulated. I’m cycle day 25 and I can ovulate anywhere from CD 15 and CD 20. Me and my partner DTD 11 days ago, but again I haven’t been trying this month so I didn’t think anything of it. I ordered some wondfo tests bc I like having them in the house. I’ve taken 4 today and they’ve all had faint lines.. i actually just dipped one in water bc I’m convinced they’re faulty and it was super negative. I’m working tomorrow but hopefully I can nip out and buy some Superdrug ones. I’m just so confused and don’t wanna get my hopes up. Here’s a pic of the test, it’s a lot pinker in person.

I can see a vvvvvvvfl on both I think. How long did you hold for?
might be worth a try in 2 days if you can wait that long.

@Ncl31 from 3:20 till just after 7 xx

I should tell you to wait 2 days but I 100% know I would be testing again tomorrow.
fingers crossed for you, let us know how you get on

@Ncl31 well I slipped and ordered some first response so may do this one from boots in the morning, then got some off Amazon for in a few days 🫣 fear of not knowing but also finding out if you are or not ! Xxx

@MotherofGods I could see the line before I even clicked into the photo! 🙌

@Jess1997 defo see a line there 🤗

@Daniki really my partner says he can’t see awt 😂 then said he won’t believe it till he sees the words xx

@ttcjourney20001 Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your MMC and of course it must be so painful to think how far along you would be now.

Sounds like you would be about 8dpo now, which is very unlikely to have a positive test now. Try and wait a couple of days if you can, 10 days is more likely to show something. The 6 day early tests are 6 days from a missed period, so more like 5 days before the period is due (if I recall directly) and is more accurate the closer you are to your period being due.

Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you over the next few days.

It's okay. I was 8 weeks when it happened. Saw the heartbeat one day after a scare only to be told it didn't have one the following week. Ate me up inside. Last AF was March 17th. Ovulation on my app apparently was 29th. Should be around 7-8dpo now. Took a test on Wednesday, held fire until today. Strip test was Wednesday and early test was today. I've got line eyes for sure but could've sworn I saw a shadow. Must've been the indent line

Hey :-) thought I’d reach out as in a very similar situation. I also had an early miscarriage in dec and have been thinking similar thoughts to you recently. But don’t give up! It will happen.

As for testing - I’ve read so many forums where people have said they didn’t get their bfp for ages. Often well past af. My advice would be test every other day - if you can hold out.

You have some positive symptoms so keeping everything crossed for you.

@MotherofGods my husband is the same way, until it's a dark line or a digital he refuses to believe it 😂

Just have to hope it happens!! @Daniki xx

Morning all. So I took three pregnancy tests this morning to see what was happening and I’m confused. Clearblue one is clearly positive, the other two are freedom ones… all taken from the same pot of urine (after a three hour hold this morning), bottom one is showing nothing?! And is the middle one too faint? Im 14 / 15dpo today. Is this too faint for then?

@Dogscanlookup i find those strips take a little longer to get darker with them being 20/25miu xx

@MotherofGods i waited the full five minutes so expected it would have showed? Just worried it’s so faint.
how are you getting on? Will you be doing another test today?

@Dogscanlookup i did one this one of this one and a strip , this has a ok starter line and the clear and simple strip has like a shadow xx

@Dogscanlookup they all look positive to me!!!

@Dogscanlookup there is a shadow on the bottom one and the middle one not too faint, it took a while for my tests to get darker when I was pregnant. With my son I got a very faint positive like your bottom test at 12dpo!

@MotherofGods I'm sure your husband can't deny that line now 😂

My tests are basically negative now they are absolute squinters. There has been no darkening at all. I'm 11 days post trigger and around 10/11 dpo so I think I'm out 😭
