December TTC Support Group

[MyGardenDaisies]

Hey! Making a space for those that are :

• starting to TTC in December
• also had a negative in November and preparing to try again
• trying in November and will be testing in December

all welcome! 🤗

Hope we all get a BFP! x

@pcbrb definitely see a line!

I had a similar line yesterday at 10dpo
11dpo today and no line this morning! Definitely an increase in cm today. Cramps this morning but honestly can't tell either way if I feel pregnant or af coming 😅 period due Sunday according to premom. I recently had a friend test negative all the way until 15dpo even on the day of her missed period so still feeling hopeful

Yes! I would feel hopeful until AF shows 🤞🏼

Forgot to take my temp this morning as my daughter was ill in the night

Yes I still feel hopeful as its so early! Only with one of my sons did i test early my other pregnancies I always tested day of or day after but I always felt very pregnant!

My boob's are incredibly sore which is normally the main sign for me

Hi ladies, am at work but can see a flurry of messages so taking a little break to catch up

@pcbrb - congratulations that is so exciting!

@Kateb149 ugh hate the 'just relax' crowd. My cousin who is my age and has never had kids/tried was saying that to me the other day. She said I should stop trying, whatever that means!

@blackberryhill that all sounds very encouraging, will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I am 9dpo and feel completely symptomless. Usually I get raised heart rate and cramps and sore boobs by this time but nothing. It actually helps keeping my mind off things, but I don't think it's a good sign. Only a few more days till I know either way.

Testing is quite like a sport, waiting, taking photos, adjusting filters to see better, inverting colours 😂

I am still even looking at previous cycle tests and thinking now if that was a line, Evap, indent, or flooded test? Or did I have a CP?!
Like this was my last cycle's test and I got my period a few hours after taking it. It was on time and maybe just slightly heavier than usual. I had what I thought was implantation bleeding a few days earlier.

And this is how the same test looks dry - I think it must have been flooded and then colour stuck in the indent, as you can see indents on unused tests without even squinting.
Maybe early testing is not a good idea for this exact reason - you just never know what happened!

It’s so hard to listen to it isn’t it 😂 my mum has told me to ‘stop trying’ too because she had me accidentally and think that’s the best way to do it 🤦🏼‍♀️

It might be a good thing if you normally have symptoms by now but don’t this month? Are you due over the weekend?

@Kateb149 I mean, they are probably right, I was a result of a fling! But not really sure how I can go from trying to not trying? I think it's just too ingrained in me now.

@Marie1990x hello cycle twinnie!! I'd definitely normally be testing from 8DPO so will be with you in solidarity on Monday! Unless I start getting really obvious symptoms I'm definitely going to wait until Friday to test. And if I make it that far, I might just wait until Sunday when AF is due. As I properly tracked ovulation and my LP is pretty much always 14 days that should be a good indicator and I'm not sure I can torture myself with testing unless I feel like it will potentially come back a BFP! Such a rollercoaster!

You’re more strong willed than me 😂. AF will be due on the Sunday for me too as I’m usually exactly 2 weeks after too.

My toddler is REALLY testing me today, making me wonder why I’m so hell bent on having another 😅

I'm with you on the toddler front - I sometimes wonder this myself when he's terrorising me!

These messages made me giggle. My toddler is a joy 90% of the time but when he’s refusing to eat the nutritious meal I’ve made and thrown it on the floor I do wonder why I want to repeat this! 🤣

I know, it seems the less the try the more likely you are to fall pregnant but I could never not try now I don’t think 😂 i’m too much of a control freak x

I’m very nauseous and got a headache today, hoping it’s a good sign, but I’ve read that 8DPO is peak progesterone in LP anyways so that could be just normal cycle or could be a good sign!!
might the symptom spotting!

@Row23 @blackberryhill little terrors sometimes aren’t they! Santa has been called a few times today…..
Then she’ll go to bed and I’ll miss her 😂

Fingers crossed for you! Is tomorrow test day?

Thank you @Marie1990x x yes I’ll be 8/9DPO tomorrow and should get sensitive tests delivered

Oooh I will be thinking of you tomorrow! Let us know how you get on ☺️ did you order the FRER sensitive tests? x

@MyGardenDaisies uyyy good luck with the first test tomorrow 🤞🏼✨✨✨

What's people's thoughts on having sex the day after ovulation?!
I've seen conflicting things around how it's the most important day and people always miss it and then others saying you don't need to etc!
I don't think I have it in me tonight to do it again 😂 we did day before peak, pay day, and ovulation day

@rebecca199 to be honest we haven’t been, but have this cycle so let’s see 😂. I suppose the egg can live 24 hours which would take you into that day so definitely worth a shot if you’ve still got gas left in the tank.

Just analysing my Premom graph and thinking what the heck can we do going forward if this doesn’t work 🤦🏻‍♀️. Any ideas/tips welcome!

@pcbrb thank you xx

@Kateb149 yes, but also the cheap One Step sensitive ones. I will test with FRER if I see anything on the One Step to save wasting money. I've spent probably hundreds on tests as first two cycles I would get lots of early digitals too 🫣😂

This is good going!!
My partners at football currently so I'll see if he's got it in him when he's home 😂😂
Fingers crossed for you!!!

I take that back, he's off to the pub 😂

It all adds up doesn’t it 😂 that’s why i’m just using the easy @ home ones for now… until I get a line on those I wont fork out for any more expensive tests now 😅
