[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

Hey all, coming over from the November TTC group as pesky AF arrived today!! CD1 today, normally cycles are 27/28 days, does anyone just use the cheapo ovulation kits from amazon? This will be cycle 2 for me, so still learning about how my own blooming body works 😂

Moving over from November. Not sure if I ovulated this month but period is due first week in December so will be testing then if it doesn't show!

Ttc number 4 here. First baby in my 30s, I turned 33 this month! Cycles possibly still a little wonky as just got them back after extended breastfeeding

I’m still breastfeeding @Hen2000

Husbands brother is staying tonight for 1 nights. It's CD10 today, so I don't want to miss our chances! I've never DTD with others in the house (is that embarrassing to admit?!)

Started ovulation testing today but can't remember how much darker the test line was when I tested back in 2022 when we conceived our first

I never get my periods back when breastfeeding! I did 3 years for my last two boys. With my middle I got two random break though periods and with my last just now nothing until I completely stopped. We were only doing bedtime for the last few months too. Would of loved to of had another closer to this one as my older two are only 18months apart.

Periods went back to normal last time but I wanted 6 months of not being pregnant or breastfeeding. This time I would love to conceive earlier. I've bounced around a few threads on here, I ovulated once in the summer but no period. Then I thought I had my period but I think looking back it was break through bleeding as it was two nights after I completely stopped followed by what I think my first real period actually was 21 days later.

Mine came back annoyingly early while ebf @Hen2000

I'm waiting for some non expired tests to arrive. Apps say I’m a day or so late. Not sure on accuracy.

Should read 2 nights not 1

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I would be tempted to still try the expired ones!

Will be ttc number 1, had 3 miscarriages in 2021 with a previous partner so a long gap, got pregnant first cycle with all of those ones so hopefully will again. I should ovulate around 4th-5th December.

@JB2021 go for something quick? 😂

@Hen2000 oh I have. 3 hcg and one opk 🤯

@JB2021 I agree with @NamechangeTTC definitely give it a go still!

@NamechangeTTC @hen2000 Will defo try DTD

Just want to know what I'm seeing on ovulation tests hoping it'll be obvious when it's positive. I seem to remember it was last time

The test line is darker than the control line when positive. They can move quickly last month I went from a low to a high within from late morning to late afternoon and peaked that night. I haven't had a high this month wondering if it happened quick and I missed it. I track on premon app which stores a photo of them all

Yeah @JB2021 , darker than control as @Hen2000 said. I had to test multiple times a day to catch it.

would it be bonkers to pee in a cup tomorrow then test when the tests arrive?

Hi all,
I'm currently in my second cycle TTC for baby #5.

My husband and I are having some "technical issues" and are using self insemination to get pregnant.

When I googled I saw an old thread about self insemination. If any of you know any new threads, I'd be so grateful if you could share the link with me.

Is anyone in this group using self insemination?

According to the LH test and symptoms, ovulation should have occurred yesterday or today. We've done the best we could. So welcome dreaded tww!

I should be due on my period on the 1st or 2nd of December (have a quiet short lutheal phase). So I just about fall into the December group 😅

Our little one (19 months old) chose last night to not sleep. She usually sleeps really well. I felt awful as I was like it's CD10, can't miss the opportunity. We DTD on technically CD11 as it was 1am but hoping it's better than nothing!

Husband working away this weekend so we need to be on it Friday morning then Sunday evening. Hoping positive ovulation isn't till Sunday or after.

After posting here yesterday ill do ovulation tests when coming from work rather than first thing.

I’ve already failed at the SMEP 😂. Says to start dtd on cd8 and I’ve just looked and I’m cd9 today and didn’t dtd yesterday. I doubt it will make much difference tonight instead, just need to remember going forward 😅

I think that’s ok @Marie1990x it’s very early in the process.

my expired tests today have got lighter :(

Omg I didn’t see you’d got a bfp!!! They’re very strong and even the test line on today’s is lighter so don’t worry! Have you got any non-expired ones? 😂.
amazing news congrats!

@Marie1990x they’ve literally just arrived but I’m on a work call.

im going to hold the FRER till tomorrow I think. Cheap expired ones looked ok

@NamechangeTTC babe you did it!!!

congratulations! Love this for you 🥰

❤️❤️❤️❤️

1-2 clear blue and it’s not expired

@NamechangeTTC definitely all looking positive even before the digital! Congratulations!!!

Cd22 here and finally seeing some.strong lines on my ovulation tests. I used to.always ovulate a little later day 19 or so and have cycle around 31/33days. Going to test again this afternoon/evening!

Hi all, hoping to join this chat as support in the TWW. I got my peak OPK yesterday and had DTD the day before. Unfortunately husband was out drinking yesterday evening and couldn’t finish when we tried to DTD (frustrating!). I had ovulation pains last night so wondering if I maybe ovulated the same day as getting my peak. Hoping my chances are still okay this month, will find out in 2 weeks I guess.

Good luck to everyone else!
