TTC September/October 26

[ThereWereNoUsernamesLeft]

I couldn't see that anyone's started a thread for September yet. Seeing as it's tomorrow thought I'd start one now. Seems AF arrived for a few of us at the same time so looks like we'll be in sync over the coming months.
How is everyone doing?

Hi all, glad to join this thread. I’m 11DPO , CD34 with BFN on various tests. I’m testing way too much and feeling increasingly despondent with each cycle. Hoping this cycle wraps up quickly as it’s been very long indeed, and I can tracking my LH again. Good luck to everyone!

Period is coming to an end, so it will be back to testing. It was nice to not think about DPO's, testing and the whats ifs. Lets go cycle 3🤞

Thank you ❤actually feels like a lifetime ago now.

I've got everything crossed for you, we can be testing buddies 😊

I felt quite positive yesterday but feeling less so today, not sure why as nothing has changed!

So my positive on Saturday on a clear blue 6 day early digital is looking like a chemical. Anyone got any experience and good success stories for after a chemical? I’m gonna resist testing early in future, it’s not worth the sadness

I’m so sorry, going through the same and now has my first ovulation since. I hope it sticks for us soon ❤️

@BerrieSweetwishing you lots of luck x

How accurate are the digital CB tests when testing early (11 days DPO) do we think?

it’s saying ‘not pregnant’ but in quietly hopefully it’s a false?

anyone got any experience with CB digital?

Last pregnancy I got a false negative 11 DPO and positive on 12 DPO with clearblue digital early, so I would still have hope!😍

Thank you, didn’t manage to yesterday but did this morning so fingers crossed it wasn’t too late.
Only for a few months but not been on contraception for 3 years now

I am so sorry. Are you sure it wasn't a false positive? I also had a chemical and I said that from this month I will wait for my period being late and then test. Not only for the chemical but for my sanity testing and thinking about it all the time.

@FairiebeeI am totally with you on not testing too early! It’s torture not to mention expensive! I just thought it might be really rare to get a false on a digital how many weeks early test? I can’t work out if it’s better if it is a CP which meant I did get pregnant at least. Ah I hate this TTC! We go again 🤞

So sorry to hear about the chemical @Olivia2024 I think I had one last cycle - either that or just a false positive!

Im now in the TWW again, 1/2DPO. I’m going to learn to not waste my money on early tests! My mantra needs to do - all symptoms in the TWW feel equally like early pregnancy and normal pre period symptoms! Pls someone refer me back to this if I consider early testing!

hoping to have success this cycle. History is 2 children (8 and 5) and 2 miscarriages in last 18 months :( Last few cycles to try for a third child, before we say it’s the end.

@GoneWithTheWind4everything crossed for you! Will you test when AF is due then? That second week of the 2ww especially drags for me but I didn’t get a BFP with my son until around 11-12DPO so I don’t know what I expect

Yes I think I’ll test if period doesn’t arrive on time. It’ll be a test of my strength ha

Cd28, no LH positive or ecwm. Might ask for metformin, any positive experiences?

im going away for work so I bet it happens now, suffered with thrush all week so dtd has been out the window 🙈

Hello, those who have had chemicals, when have you left off testing until on cycles that followed? Im I think 9dpo after having a chemical at 5+2. Even if id waited until my period was due i would have known i was pregnant as the bleeding started on day 40 of that cycle so like 10 days late. I did a test today at 9dpo and got a vvv faint line and im cautiously excited but so nervous its going to fail again. How do you handle this?

With my chemical I had my period on time so I wouldn't even know if I hadn't test but in a lot of cases like yours it's not the same. Being cautiously excited it's a good way to handle this, you are too early. Fingers crossed for a darker line 🤞

AF is here once again. That’s me out for another cycle :( roll on next week when we can do this dance all over again!

I’m finally 1DPO. Ovulation was delayed by about 4 days this month so didn’t ovulate until CD21. So much waiting 😫 we also DTD for 11 days straight so we are knackered now 🤣 fairly sure I ovulated from my right side (side with a tube) so keeping everything crossed. Going to try to wait until at least 10dpo to test this cycle as I was pretty obsessive last cycle. Hope everyone else is holding up ok

@Springcloud26 @GreenPickle @DancingThroughLife02

How are you all getting on? I'm 9DPO and feeling a bit down in the dumps.

I’m on similar timelines to you, will try not to symptom spot this time round 🤪

7 DPO today and trying hard not to symptom spot, feel like I have a stitch today but I am quite stressed with work so it’s more likely that.

Hope you are okay, sorry if I missed it, have you tested or waiting to test? I was going to wait until 12 DPO but don’t think I can hold off and may do 9 or 10 DPO.

Not sure how you held out that long! Are you still saving to test Saturday?

i’m 7dpo - not feeling overly optimistic. Not helping I keep comparing how I’m feeling now versus last pregnancy. I had sore boobs by this point but nada. Not really feeling like anything is going on if I’m honest. I know it’s early but I feel like last time I sort of had an inkling by now 😅

Waiting to test! I'm going to a cider festival on Saturday so will test in the morning.

Trying really hard not to symptom spot this month, last cycle I was noting down every little twinge 😂

It’s so hard isn’t it!!!
