TTC December 🎄

[Anonna123]

Hi everyone, just starting up a board for those of us thinking of TTC this month 😊 This is our first month TTC number 3. I just turned 40 so it's unlikely to happen quickly if at all, but we've decided to give it a couple of months just to leave it to fate! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Oooh I see something!!
was that this afternoon?
hopefully darker in the morning?

Yes it was evening at 9dpo. Thinking to hold off testing till Thursday/Friday but I don't know if I can wait that long 😂😂

just found this quite useful - anyone still testing!

I definitely see a shadow but it could be an indent 🤔

10dpo BFN
im out so going to take a MN break
good luck to everyone!

That's exciting! Have you tested today?

As it gets closer to my AF due date (Saturday) the more I feel pms so I'm slowly losing hope for this week.
I had a BFN yesterday and Monday on an early test and have one of those left so will take that on Friday and then I have lots of normal tests so I can take one of those at the weekend if AF hasn't arrived by then (unlikely)

Ah that was my reply to @Ttcbabyward , not my own test! Sadly for me AF due tomorrow and a complete negative on my test this morning so I reckon I'm out too! I'm not totally mad about it though as people are coming down with flu all around me which would be pretty miserable in pregnancy. I might get the flu jab if AF arrives. Has anyone else had the flu jab just in case?

I'm sorry, it's gutting isn't it! Hope you have a lovely Christmas x

8dpo and a BFN here - not really sure why I thought it would be anything else!

Ooo have you tested this morning? Fingers are crossed for you!

Hey hey. Joining if that’s ok. 3rd month TTC. Just coming into fertile period this week and AF due at the end of the month.

@Anonna123 I have it through work anyway. No side effects for me this year and I have to say I’m relieved seeing how prevalent it is so far this year!

Hi! Would like to join too if that’s ok. Just got the coil out and hoping to TTC number 3 this month. I had a period back in mid November but have very irregular periods (around 60 day cycles) so I’m hoping I’m coming into my fertile window soon-ish. Really need to buy some testing strips as with two young children finding the time to DTD can be tricky!

11DPO and BFN here. Second cycle of ttc now. Feeling bummed - have been more relaxed this tww and not been symptom spotting, but breasts felt sore and heavy so tested. Nope! Never have these symptoms usually so just cruel 😂

So sorry for everyone who hasn’t had the outcome they wanted 💕 it’s so tough. Me trying to TTC has been a long wait for the right person, a divorce and seeing people around me having what I was desperately wanting for myself.

I found my LH peak on CD11, timed DTD as much as possible given two hectic lives. This is our first real cycle after my implant came out, I feel so hopeful and optimistic but realise I shouldn’t get ahead of myself!

My testing day is Christmas Eve with AF due Christmas Day. Really unsure if testing is the best thing and should I leave it unknown? Especially as both days are very child focused, it’s so hard 😭

Ok, would love your opinions. Even though I’m still having off/on cramps and have 99% given up hope, I’m still a bit addicted to POAS. I did this test this morning, waited a few minutes, saw nothing and put in the bin. This evening I got home from work, felt an urge to retrieve it from the bin to check and it has a line. Now - I know indents are a thing. But this line, in person, does look pinky rather than grey. Posting a photo unedited and a photo I edited the saturation (in which I think it definitely looks pink). The issue is because I put it in the bin so quickly, I have no idea if this line came up within 10 minutes or not 🤣 I have one more test so am going to wait until Saturday morning and if no AF will test again. Any thoughts?! Xx

@TupATeaWell... It looks kind of pink on the photo as well, so fingers crossed! I wouldn't be able to hold off until Saturday 😂

Hello! I am back since the indent incident a few months ago - had stark negatives since as well, so, no positives at all in 23 months of trying (TTC#1). Due to start our IVF journey in January as well, so here's to December. 😂4DPO currently.

Good luck to all of us!

I’m 10dpo today, have had quite a few symptoms of what could indicate implantation, did test this morning but BFN, will see what happens over next few days but trying not to get my hopes up aghhhh it’s so hard

AF arrived in full force yesterday as I was doing a pregnancy test 😂 Good luck to everyone else this month! For anyone else, maybe see you in January x

Sorry to hear that @Anonna123!
See you in January then x
I'll be there for sure

seems my 10dpo test was in fact an indent. AF arrived today right on time. Here's to a January positive, might see some of you on the Jan thread x

@Ttcbabyward ah I'm sorry. I got caught out by an indent too. Hope you and @Anya23 have a lovely Christmas and catch you in Jan!

Indents are so cruel! Hopefully 2026 is luckier for us all.

I'm CD18 and ovulation tests are still so light (0.09...). Usually I ovulate on CD15/16 like clockwork so I'm so worried I'm just not going to ovulate this month! Google has like usual not been very reassuring. We're going to stay with my parents next week, we'll be sleeping on the floor and sharing a room with my toddler so really need the fertile window to be finished by then!
