TTC Sept 2024

[TTCIrish]

Moving over from lurking on TTC Aug 2024, as AF just arrived yesterday. Anyone else joining?

@heartheart89 thanks girly! 🫶🏼

I am now convincing myself I can see something. I know the reality is quite far from that. Especially as FF bumped me back from 9DPO to 6DPO today 😂

Download the app pregnancy test checker... you can edit it and post it to the community on there for others opinions too. I love it x

Hehe, I’ve posted on there too 🥰

So is mine 😂 I'll show him a line and he's like that's negative it's faint lol

Can I join please? Although I’m only on CD4

Welcome!

7DPO, temps still rising! 🤞🏼

How is everyone else this morning?

CD11, not getting my flashing smiley on my clearblue ovulation tests yet which is really unusual for me 😓 could have done with it this morning as I have to face my brother and sister later in law who are 12 weeks pregnant with their second, and both were quick conceptions with no losses. Seeing them is so hard, and waiting to even be in the fertile window sucks x

@LetstalkaboutBruno that's one crazy cycle 🤯

Are you having a never-ending one or have you just not been logging periods?

I have PCOS @curliegirlie I don’t usually have ANY cycles and take synthetic progesterone to induce a bleed as I don’t ovulate. I have been undergoing IVF/fertility treatments for the past 5 years. Somehow, multiple rounds of Letrozole, egg collections, embryo transfers and unfortunately miscarriages have kick started something. This is my third cycle this year. Which is astronomical 🥹.

35 and going through puberty is how it feels!

@LetstalkaboutBruno that sounds so tough. I had a similar 146 day cycle when TTC DD1 and it was then that I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Luckily the Levothyroxine (and possibly the agnus castus that I started just before) kicked in quickly and I subsequently had 30ish day cycles and signs of ovulation (OPK and temps) each cycle, and conceived six months later. i was so glad that mega cycle was a one off, it almost broke me!

Yeah, pretty rubbish @curliegirlie. I am also on Levothyroxine (150mcg) and I had a year of metformin. No real joys 🤯

im glad you found benefits from it. I remember reading about AC years ago. I was too scared to use anything on the side when I was doing IVF though.

I was feeling pretty confident about my temp rise after ovulation, but I had a big drop this morning so I don’t really know what to think? It’s only my first month temping so this is all new to me; my graph had just been pretty “by the book” up til today.

Implantation? Have you taken any paracetamol? That always made mine dip

3dpo feels a bit soon for implantation. I did have a UTI this week (with no fever) and I took an anti inflammatory, and antibiotic, not paracetamol, so it’s probably messed everything up!

That’s probably it then. Illness and drugs will affect the reading. Or the world’s shortest luteal phase!

Haha yes, well I mean it’s possible the rise was artificial from the illness and I didn’t ovulate at all. Let’s see; but I’m not that hopeful for this month

Hiya, joining you all this month from August. Came off the mini pill 16th July, didn’t bleed until 6 weeks later 27th August. Been tracking ovulation and looks like I am at peak today so hopefully this shows my cycle will return to a ‘normal’ one. Got dull period type pains today so I assume this is a sign of ovulation?

Morning all,

Jumping on the chat if you don't mind. I am cycle day 8 and trying now for baby number 3 . Whoop!

I'm out! CD 25 of a 26 day cycle and DPO 10 and BFN this morning. Feel really disappointed and I'm well aware that it's early in our TTC journey, only on our second cycle. Still disappointed!!

Best of luck to everyone else x

I feel like I could have wrote this a few years ago. A miscarriage was what took me from a 290 day cycle to a 35-60 day cycle. I did go on to conceive which helped “regulate” things for me and they have stayed at this rate for some years now with the help of metformin. Waiting (im)patiently for a chance to add to our family and PCOS sucks.

Ahhh sorry to hear. I'll probably be joining you next month as well (also on cycle 2 this cycle), but I was sick this cycle and have a feeling it's messed it all up. I won't know til the end of next week though. We're on holiday from tomorrow and I'm deliberately not taking any tests with me!

Does anyone else who’s temping have this? Since ovulation my temp is so up and down, it’s still all above the line, but I don’t know? Is this a bad sign that it’s not worked this month?

Nope, that's fine. You'll always see little variations but it's the overall pattern that's important.
