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?

Thanks so much for replying! Sorry you’re going through the same 😢 it’s so hard isn’t it. So interesting/strange/frustrating that it seems to depend so much on location! That’s really helpful to know though, I’ll see if I can do some research on my specific trust. I’m not 100% sure, they said that I likely had Pcos but I never felt like I got a solid diagnosis. They couldn’t pinpoint any other issues, but I do remember that I never ever had a peak on my LH tests when I was ttc number 1 (2.5 years from starting to conceiving). When I started trying for number 2 I was so shocked that I started to see peaks every month! I’m still seeing the peaks this time around so I just keep hoping it’ll happen eventually 🤞🏼but no luck so far.

Cd… lost count. About 35. No signs of ovulating. Setting end of year as our last try is kinda sad when we’ve only had four attempts this year due to my cycle. :(

sorry @PaperLantern1 @HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy you guys are going through the same!

So this is the first time I’ve been in a TWW and haven’t bought early tests. Currently CD25, approx 10DPO and period due in 3 days. I’ve not wasted money and I’ve not given myself false hope with questionable faint lines or hints of something that become a chemical. I will know either way in 3 days xx hope everyone is ok. Some highs and lows I have read x

That's so great! You are very strong. I was telling myself the same thing last month but I ordered early detection cb tests. The good thing is that they didn't come yet because I am sure I would do both today 7dpo 😂 how do you manage to hang on? You get distracted?

I’d be the same if I had the tests in my house! Maybe it’s out of sight, out of mind for the actual testing… I’ve had a busy week and it feels like I’ve blinked and it’s almost time for my period to arrive… as I’ve held out for so long, there’s no point ordering the tests now as they’d arrive tomorrow and it’s basically period day then, so feel like I’ll know without spending £10! Xx

Thank you 🧡 I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this, it must be so frustrating and difficult. Crossing everything for you that you ovulate soon and have a successful cycle🤞🏼🤞🏼

Oh no :( my period has arrived. 2 days early. Is this where I second guess if it’s implantation bleeding? Sorry if TMI - small bit of discharge with pink, brown and redness found on wiping and small amount in underwear. What would you do? Fingers crossed and see if it becomes full period and just hope implantation? Any chance it’s implantation? I’m approx 10 days post ovulation xx

Hmm it sounds more like discharge with some blood rather than the beginning of a period, so could be implantation bleeding? I don’t know about you but when my period starts it isn’t really in any way like discharge. You were doing so well on holding out testing but maybe it’s time to test? My fingers are crossed for you!

Sorry, I find it so hard to keep up with all the messages! @GoneWithTheWind4 I had similar at 9dpo last night so I’d say it is promising. Mind you, my period isn’t due for another 4 days x

I got a vvvfl this morning. Going to try again tomorrow and see if I’m happy with it 😬

Fingers crossed for you.
I had my 7 day bloods back and progesterone levels are 69 which I have no idea if it’s a good thing or not as my GP marked as normal as they always do 🙄
I’m very cranky today so I know af is on the way!

Is it nmol/L? If so that’s excellent! 30 is usually what they are looking for

@GoneWithTheWind4 what happened? was it your normal period?
@Baby2pls did you test again today? was it positive?

I think this will be my peak as I never usually get much higher than this. So far we’ve managed to DTD Monday, Wednesday, and last night. So tonight and tomorrow hopefully to go, although DH struggled last night with the pressure and it took him a while, think we’re both getting worn out 😭 hoping we can manage to DTD tonight and tomorrow 🤞

Did my last test today . Thats it. Im not doing any more !

Caved and tested today - 9dpo negative test this morning. Feeling down even though I know it’s still early. I did feel different over the last couple of days with cramping etc so think I had got my hopes up. Saw a friend last night who told me she is 6.5 weeks pregnant - I’m so, so happy for her but it did also make me feel a bit sad for myself. Sending positive thoughts to everyone, trying to remember that I’m not necessarily out yet

Lovely strong line, congrats!

Yes nmol/l that’s reassuring, thank you. Really trying to hold back from testing as I know I’ll be disappointed.
@Lucyloop99 beautiful line - congratulations

@Saffie920 9dpo is still early don’t loose hope just yet, lovely news for your friend but it’s still a rubbish feeling isn’t it

Took an early CB test and it’s negative. I didn’t use FMU. But I’m CD 26? Had a slightly light mucus like blood yesterday. But there’s no period. And no positive. So frustrating!

Perhaps it wasn’t concentrated enough?!
Also CD26 caved and tested and a weird line came up within the time but I’m 99% sure it’s indent because of how thin it is

There’s something there! Try again tomorrow morning? I guess I have a small bit of hope with the strange blood perhaps being implantation, and a small weak wee sample! Tomorrow should tell me for sure x

Rang the GP, Referred to epau for previous ectopic last year.
Because my cycles are so irregular. They'll go from first postive test and add 2 weeks, so
Ive got a scan booked 19th October. That feels so long away!!
I have got such strong positive tests, but im still worried it'll be ectopic again.
This morning I was feeling good about strong positives, but since googled and apparently that can mean nothing in regards to ectopic. So im back to worrying again !

My last ectopic, the tests fluctuated hugely. This time is consistant strong positives.
Also had lots of cramps on and off last 2 days. All lower tummy, all over.

@Lucyloop99 what a lovely strong line! Sorry to hear you’re anxious. It sucks. Surely the chances of that happening to you again are minuscule ❤️ cramps are a good sign in these early days (usually) for sure. Was my friend’s first sign and reason why she tested. I’ve had some mild period type pain today

@Fairiebee yes I tested today and it’s a little darker so there we go! I’m off to the shops later to buy more, naturally 😂I think once I officially miss my period next week it’ll sink in

@GoneWithTheWind4 definitely could just be too early!

@Saffie920 sending love and it may be too early for you, too. Try in 2 days? My test yesterday at 9dpo was SO faint, if it wasn’t a FRER it would have been negative for sure

Thank you. It's about a 10% chance of it happening again. So I know the odds are in my favour.
Sorry for offloading my worry here, my other half just tells me to be positive.

Ive been cleaning the bath tonight and the kids put wet tissue in there. I was gagging sick . 🤣
The symptoms are a lot more like my other healthy pregnancies.
I had no symptoms at all other than hunger with my ectopic.
I just have to wait it out til the scan now.
