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

Does anyone see a squinter on this?

I can see a line easily! Congrats!

I think I do? How many DPO are you?

heartheart89 · 04/09/2024 19:10

@MrsKurz I'm only 7/8 dpo I think. I haven't tracked so not entirely sure x

Oh that’s early either way, definitely test again in a couple of days :)

Hello everyone! DP and I are cycle 1 TTC #1, we’ve only just decided to start trying this month. I have sub clinical hypothyroidism and low vit D and lowish folate levels so I’ve only just got everything to optimum in prep for TTC. My cycles have gone a bit haywire the last few months with thyroid meds (4/5 periods in 2 months!) Currently on day 19 and think LH test levels are increasing so hopefully ovulation is back and period can hold off for a bit longer!

When should we DTD, from what I’ve read we should do it 4 ish days before ovulation until around 2 days after. I’ve read that DTD every other day is better than every day, does anyone do the same?

I don’t often notice EWCM and not sure if that will be a problem - I do notice that I am much generally wetter (sorry) around ovulation but not often EW.

I'm also cycle 1 ttc #1. I'm only CD7 at the moment but going to aim for sex every other day. Interested in other people's opinions on this though as we both have high sex drives, so wondering if having sex every day would really have much of a negative impact?

I also don't really notice ewcm - trying to stay super hydrated this month to see if I can see a difference. Also started drinking grapefruit juice every day as I saw some posts on reddit saying it helped their ewcm production, will let you know if it works for me or not 😂

Month 2 ttc. I got excited around 5days po (I know it's early) but I'm sure I saw the faintest line and my husband agreed. I left it a few more days and it's a BFN now. I've just got cheapies. Will keep testing daily til af arrives to give me a sense of hope.

Nicola1988 · 05/09/2024 09:32

Currently around 2 dpo. Was able to bd for 2 day in a row before ovulation and the day of my positive lh strips. Had to abstain after that tho as hubby was handing in a SA 2 days after ovulation. So typical. Hoping we were able to hit the most important day. Congrats to all the BFPS so far xxx

MrsKurz · 05/09/2024 10:09

Aaaand I’ve got a raging UTI and am currently sitting at the GP. I’m currently around 2DPO waiting for natural cycles to confirm.

so so uncomfortable and got blood in my urine, so I’m hoping that doesn’t affect our chances this month, but I won’t be surprised if it does

Duckwars · 05/09/2024 11:44

Af finally showed up today. Although it's cycle 2 for ttc, last month there was no effort put in at all. Dh has been warned we're going full throttle this month 😂 congrats to those with bfps so far and good luck to those in the tww 🤞

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 11:46

Still a squinter on camera, much clearer in person. This wasn't FMU, but was a 4 hour hold x

I can definitely see that!! And you're 8 DPO, right? Fingers crossed it sticks x

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 11:55

@TTCIrish I think I'm somewhere around 8/9. I'm really not to sure. I didn't track this month x

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 12:13

We only had sex once on the Sunday night, on the 25th August. So I must have ovulated Monday/Tuesday x

Hoping for my cycle to back to normal soon after a loss, and today I tested positive for Covid - not the positive I was hoping for Confused

Confusedmermaid1 · 05/09/2024 13:14

CD1 for me today.. it wasn’t unexpected but a shorter cycle than norm. Following a recent loss I assume my body is still recovering. I’ll hang out on the thread as my next period will be due 1st Oct according to my app.

Congrats to everyone who has had a BFP so far! Fingers crossed to those of you still waiting 🤞🏼

MrsKurz · 05/09/2024 14:10

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 11:48

Oh no! I hope you're feeling better soon! Xx

Thank you. I’ve been to the doctors and they gave me a single antibiotic dose. Things seem to have settled a bit this afternoon but I’m still peeing blood. If that’s still the case tomorrow I guess I’ll call them back.

just feels like awful timing and probably will affect our chances this month as I’m in the TWW

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 14:49

I just took another after a 2 hour hold. Do you think a digi would show yet? It's clearer in person and popped up within 3 minutes

I got a positive on a CB digital (the 6 day early one) on Monday after the below cheap strip.

The cheap strip was also about 2hr hold not FMU, and I think looks similar to yours so I reckon you've got a good chance of it showing on a digital 😊

I've decided to stop checking my temperature because I was finding myself becoming obsessed and I only have 1 test in the house and it's the digital clear blue one that cost so much so I'm not using it until I've missed a period 😂

So I'm totally blind as to if anything is happening in my body and I'm on 7 DPO. It's only my second cycle TTC #1 and I'm 30 so lots of time! But I'm finding it hard to not get my hopes up tonnes!

Anyone else in the same boat?

My best friend told me she's pregnant after struggling for over 2 years! So happy for her and it'd be so lovely if we got pregnant soon ❤️

Hey!

I’m hoping to join, I am 8DPO from OPK’s and temping with Apple Watch.

I have been having some strong cramps all day today, I had crazy hot sweats overnight and have had headaches and breast pain.

I have erratic cycles. So I am feeling very fortunate to have actually ovulated. A pregnancy seems so out of reach for me.

I can only hope for my miracle 🤍
