Anyone here TTC?

[SchnitzelVonCrummsTum]

I'm hoping to start TTC baby #4 in August. Is there an existing larger families TTC thread / group, or does anyone else fancy joining me? The groups in the Conception topic don't really seem like a good fit ...

I'm 34
3 children (4, 7 & 8)
3 miscarriages before child #1

I don't have the app sorry
I just use the mobile site.

Here is my bfn as we all love a picture - or I do

Me too @Annabelle4 and I'm trying to do it discretely too! Wandering around our accommodation trying to find magic lighting that will give a bfp

I'll try post mine. I took it about a half an hour ago. I think I can see something now, but it doesn't count after so long. It's not coloured, just a colourless shadow where the test result would be positive

Yay! Stick sharing! Will have another go using the mobile site ...

Voila! Now if this was a pregnancy test if be excited but sadly not.

What cd are you now @schnitzelvoncrummstum?

I have proper line eye. Rationally I know there's nothing in the pic I posted but I still tell myself I can see something.

I won't be gutted if we aren't lucky this month, I don't realistically think we will be. I'm just happy dh is on board now. After my early loss last year I was gutted every month even though we were using protection and I had no reasonable reason to be pregnant because I didn't think wed ever try again.

Bfn for me today @ 10dpo. I'll test again Thursday at 12dpo (only have 3 strips left and don't want to waste).

What about you EverythingNow?

Sorry for the bfns so far @Annabelle4 and @Everythingnow, fingers crossed for the next few days!

I'm CD11 now and thinking that we need to start DTD tomorrow and try for every day until CD15 at least. It's really weird tracking my cycle so closely again as until now I have tracked to avoid pregnancy and the focus is definitely very different. Definitely got EWCM type fluid but it's not fully transparent - sorry for the TMI...!

How's the holiday going @Everythingnow? @Annabelle4 how long is your luteal phase usually?

Holiday is lovely thanks!

Here is today's bfn for me to analyse. Boobs sore and cm still wet but other than that no symptoms.

How's it going today @Everythingnow and @Annabelle4? I'm CD12 and we're finally starting with DTD tonight (autocorrect just turned DTD into STD, glad I checked before posting )

Anyone else irrationally worried that it won't happen for them? I feel like I've used up all of my fertility luck already and terrified at the thought of having more miscarriages. But the fear is outweighed by the knowledge that I would truly regret it if we didn't go for a 4th and give it our best shot ...

Bfn here today. I'm actually properly confused about how many dpo I am -doesn't take much!

I think I ovulated on cd 13 of 27 day cycle today is cd23 so am I 9 or 10dpo today. AF due in 5 days I think so started testing way too early haha! I don't feel like I am if that makes sense though!

I can understand that schnitzel. Last time was super easy (because it was unplanned) but then I had a chemical last spring so I just don't know what will happen.

Hi Schnitzel, (actually, I meant to say earlier that I hope it's not rude of me to shorten your username). I think we all have those worries. I swore after ds that I wouldn't push my luck and go again. I think I actually have health anxiety or anxiety when it comes to the kids. I've already looked into harmony testing etc if I do become pregnant, just so that I could relax then and enjoy the pregnancy, even though I have no reason to believe anything would be wrong '
It must be such a worry for you after miscarriages, I guess it takes away the joy and excitement in early pregnancy at least. Glad you're almost mid cycle and before you know it you'll be on the 2ww.

Everythingnow, I hope it is just that you've been testing too early.

I had to go into town this morning for a few things and I couldn't resist picking up a first response test I'm 11dpo so think the result should be positive by now (got a good positive on it with dd2 at 11dpo). Anyway, it's a bfn. I can't help but feel disappointed.
This is why we need this board, lol. I just wouldn't dare complain about not conceiving first month with DC4 on the conception board.
At least I can treat myself to a bottle of wine at the weekend if I get about her bfn or if AF shows up, which I'm sure it will.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

Anyone else testing?

Just a quick fly by post - I will answer properly later but wanted to share the OPK I just got

Strong positive!

Yay!

Considering number 4 (again!!!) and driving myself mad thinking about it. Good luck all- will be following your thread and living vicariously through you all!

Ps and congrats to the bfps!

Omg sorry- just got you all confused with a thread in conception!! Oops! Fingers crossed for bfps!

Bfn at 12dpo on an Internet cheapie.
Have a first response test and will use it tomorrow. AF should be here Saturday or Sunday.

Welcome BrutusMcdogdace

Welcome @BrutusMcDogface

Bfn on frer here - AF due Monday- but has been known to rock up earlier. Feeling quite crampy over night.

With dd2 I tested positive about 5days before AF so don't feel v hopeful...but I keep saying that and testing

@Annabelle4 I find that frer recently always have a very visible indent strip which is super annoying because I can see it! It's not positive as it's colourless, but it's there immediately rather than an evap. I'm sure they didn't used to. Either that or my eyesight has got better over the years

That's a pity EverythingNow. Looks like we'll be onto the next cycle again together.

I haven't noticed that, mine was stark white yesterday. I'll be sure to look tomorrow though
