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

So I took another test today (a different type)... I took 2 to be sure and both of them were completely negative even though I got a half decent line on an FRER last night 😭 so it looks like this is another CP for me... just got to wait for AF now. Due tomorrow but not sure whether the CP will delay things somewhat, it only did by a day last time. Fingers crossed it comes sooner rather than later. Devastated to be honest, moreso because it makes me fearful I can get pregnant but can't stay pregnant. Why can't this be straightforward?!

Ah I'm sorry, I had 2 CP's last year too. (Who knows this time might be another CP for me.) Is it possible that you can be referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic? That is what has happened for me and they have given me supplements, medicines and tests to try and find the cause.

AF is due today, normally turns up first thing in the morning and I also normally have spotting before. Nothing, nada, not even a feeling it’s coming.

2 strip tests this morning and not even a hint of a positive so I don’t know if they just aren’t picking it up and I should break out the clear blue digital or wait. I feel I’m probably just late for some reason rather than pregnant but this is very strange for me.

@TruthUnwinding thanks lovely!! I think I'll give it another couple of cycles and then get booked in - I think they say 6 months when over 35 anyway so will see. I had an early MC and CP before my little boy and they were all very close together so maybe this is a pattern for me?! Who knows!

Your symptoms certainly sound promising! We can drive ourselves mad waiting and wondering can't we?! When do you think you'll test?

Oh yes fair enough!

I think I'll test on Friday which will be 14DPO. I don't like playing the line spotting game before AF is due, having done it a few times before a CP!

Just wondering is there a WhatsApp group for ttc? Seen a few posts about it!

@TruthUnwinding will be keeping everything crossed for you!!

Yes, I've learned my lesson big time with this one - all the squinting and second guessing! I definitely won't be testing early next time! I think I'd rather not know about a CP in future - ignorance is bliss and all that!!

I had symptoms of cramping and bloating on 5 and 6po but now 8dpo and no symptoms now, so I’m trying not to get hopes up. I’m not sure when to test, trying to hold off a bit

What day is everyone testing/planning to test? I’ll be 9 dpo tomorrow and trying to resist urge to test. I’ve an under active thyroid though so it’s important I know asap so I can adjust my meds

My head is in a spin... something possessed me to test again this evening... did a cheapie and a faint but clear line came up straight away so did an FRER and had a pretty clear BFP and then did a digital and that is a BFP too! How have I gone from clear negatives yesterday and today (granted on a different brand test) to this this evening?! I'm not getting my hopes up though given this mess and the fact the FRER isn't mega strong for 14DPO. Arrgggh what a mess!

I've been feeling strong pregnancy symptoms so I took a test this morning and got a BFN. However, I'm only 10DPO at the moment, and haven't ever got a line before my period was due. I'll test again 14/15DPO, as I'm conscious that I can get obsessed at line spotting!

I mean, all those look strongly positive to me! HSG doubles every day doesn't it? So, you may have just had an undetectable amount of HSG yesterday and then as it increased over time, it became detectable? Tentative congratulations! x

My period still hasn’t arrived so that’s now me 2 days late but still testing negative so I’ve no idea what’s going on. I normally have a 24 day cycle, this is now day 26. Flo says it’s still too early to test so I’m giving it time but I’m very confused. I have never had a 27 or 28 day cycle in my life!

We're you tracking ovulation this cycle and have you tracked ovulation before? Do you know how long your Luteal Phase usually is? Because if you do, you can definitely know if you are late or not ☺️

So I caved and tested this morning at 9dpo, can anyone else see the line? This was taken in the timeframe. If positive this would be my 4th pregnancy after 3 losses, I know what to do and there’s a plan in place from being under recurrent miscarriage clinic but I’m panicking now!

I'm trying to hold off too. I'm 9dpo today. I want to hold out until Friday really. AF due tomorrow. I find when they are negative this early I don't believe them but the wait is hard 😂

I can see the line in the second one. I had one last month like that though and it was an evaporation line. I would retest, good luck 🤞❤️

@TruthUnwinding thanks lovely! Yes every 48 hours it's supposed to double. I'm going to test again in a couple of days with the digital to see if it goes to 2-3. I think the main reason I'm confused is that I was having the faint positives on Thursday/Friday and then negatives sat/sun morning and then back to positive on Sunday evening. But I might have just used less sensitive tests. Who knows. I'm very confused! Although I guess the CB digital aren't the most sensitive so hopefully a good sign 🤞🏼

No symptoms either which isn't helping with my anxiety right now but then I had zero symptoms my entire pregnancy with my little boy either so could mean nothing!!

How are you feeling??

First time tracking with OPKs and I didn’t quite get it right as followed premom advice to test in the evening but my tests were all low until I decided to try some morning tests where I seem to have caught either the start or end of my peak.

I’ve always had a 24-26 day cycle and was back in that pattern since having my daughter so this is very odd for me. I had a 33 day cycle after she was born so hoping it’s not that again.

I've just done another FRER and it does seem darker than yesterday?! (Top one is today bottom is last night) so feeling slightly more positive!

I can definitely see something! Fingers crossed this is a sticky one 🤞🏼😘

Going for my IUI tomorrow!! Eeek! 🤞 🎉
Wish me luck guys!

Woohoo!

I can see something too! Fingers crossed!

Wishing you all the best !!
