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

Amazingggg!! Huge congratulations 🥰🥰🥰

Welcome 😊.
aghhh men! They literally have one job to do 😂.
I think the day before is a high chance anyway! DTD tonight as well as the egg could still be waiting 😊.

The “work” begins tonight for me and I’m already tired just thinking about it 😅

My head clearly isn’t working today. I misread my app, I’m only cd6 and it says ovulation in 9 days, so not cd9 😂😂

Hi all, just place-marking really as I am not officially out until tomorrow but got a BFN yesterday and I know I'm not pregnant, no symptoms whatsoever.

I'm 37 and TTC #2, only been trying since October but it already feels like longer!

@Marie1990x - thank you! The FRER has dried to a similar darkness

@Alice1030 - we only managed on the day before EWCM and day of EWCM and have a BFP so don’t panic too much!

dry FRER now

@Marie1990x I know, was pretty disappointed last night but I’m also worried I’m putting too much pressure on him which isn’t helping (obviously last night the alcohol didn’t help). Any tips to keep to romance alive would be appreciated 😂

@NamechangeTTC oh that is reassuring, and big congratulations!

Hey all,

New to posting here. First cycle we’ve ttc, but haven’t tracked anything which I will be doing next month. I’m 38 with a host of medical conditions so I can’t say I’m feeling overly positive. I have two DS already and my DP has a DD so we’re hoping we can complete our lovely family, but we shall see what the gods have in store.

Currently CD22 and AF is due on Sunday. BFN today!

@NamechangeTTC ohhhh myyyy dayyyyyssss!!!! A huge congratulations! Exciting times! I also understand you are worried as you had a horrendous first labour. Talk to your midwife about it all and any worries you may have. ❤️ you have got this! Over the moon for you 🌙👶x

Used ovulation strips last pregnancy but this time they don't seem to be going darker. Didn't use the prenom app last time but jusy put photo into my phone today CD11 and it gave a reading of 0.

Any tips?

Or am I jusy one of those who has a period and doesn't ovulate!

@JB2021 are you using the easy@ home ones? I’ve seen others on here switch from another brand that was registering as 0s on Premom and have better results
Other than that it could be that you will have a sharp rise and won’t see much in the lead up, last cycle I ovulated later than my norm and was panicking because I wasn’t getting anything over 0.2 but it sharply rose on CD15 to my peak then dropped quite quickly after.. usually I’m ovulating around CD11/12 so I was worried but the peak came eventually
I’m definitely no expert though, just picked up some things on these boards so I’m not sure if that’s helpful!

@Confusedmermaid1 I'm using one step ones. Used them last time but my memory isn't great!

Congratulations @NamechangeTTC !! That's such lovely news!! So exciting to have our first positive before we even get into December 🥰🥰🥰

@JB2021 i can’t remember the brand they mentioned specifically and I have had a little look through but I’m on too many TTC threads to find it now 😅 hopefully you’ll get a good rise soon though

@Confusedmermaid1 they are the same brand as last time. Wondering if I'm nit leaving in urine long enough or checking time early or anything. I mean if we just keep DTD every other day that should help. Just don't want to miss ovulation.

Hello!
I see some new familiar names from November’s group - hello! :)

@NamechangeTTC congratulations! How lovely to already have a positive in this thread and it’s not even December yet!!

I am on CD 11, flashing smileys started yesterday, but my peak is usually only day 15 or 16, so still some time. Don’t want to start trying too early and “burn out” by the time it’s peak 😂

Just been back through the threads from 2022 and ovulation then was CD16. Post baby #1, coming off a different pill, I wonder if it will be the same!?

CD12 today, husband leaving the house at 7am and working until Sunday. We have an hours together tonight but DD is here. Managed to DTD this morning. If we aren't pregnant this month it's not for lack of trying!

Hi all. This is our 2nd month TTC #1.
I’m finally 1DPO. I thought I usually ovulate on CD18 but I used the cheap clear and simple strips last month. Used the easy at home this month and I ovulated CD26!!!! I usually have 32-37 day cycles.
Either it’s a weird month or last month I didn’t actually DTD at the right time! It’s been a long month as started testing CD9, we have DTD 13 out of 19 days as I kept thinking I was about to peak and then didn’t, so we are both so happy that’s now over and it’s down to the universe 😂😂😂 can’t help but think how lucky you are if you ovulate D14!

CD12, flashing smiley, but still some time till peak.

Hi all 👋 i’m on November’s thread but probably more appropriate if I join this one 😅 due to ovulate in the next few days (CD14 for me today) so will be able to test around 9th Dec hopefully 🤞 good luck to everyone this month! I’m praying for a Christmas miracle 😅 x

Waiting (im)patiently for AF to arrive, first cycle of ttc

I also tend to have slightly longer cycles about 33 days ish and have been waiting to ovulate! Peak today I believe cd 23 and I'm ready for it to go down now to call it a month 😅 guessing ovulation day 24 here. I started testing day 9

CD12 today, started ovulation testing on CD10 and my lines have been getting lighter 🤦🏻‍♀️ so no idea what’s going on with my body this cycle!
Last cycle I did go from fairly low to peak within a few hours so maybe I’ll have a sudden jump again in a few days. I only have 5 tests left and don’t really want to buy more just yet. What a confusing cycle 🧐

I really feel your pain, felt like I would never get a positive ovulation strip!

That was me too!! They would rise a few times but never high. I was wondering if I had just completely missed it overnight one day 😅
