20 of us here and due to test during December - I’m so glad it’s finally December tomorrow. Hopefully December will be a lucky month for lots of us. I’m trying to not get my hopes up but it’s hard when both my daughters were Cycle 2 and one of them was a 24th December test date!

Fingers crossed for you!

CD16 and tested evening opk. Still very low at 0.21 and I'm having one of the ttc "low" days. Beating myself up with all kinds of negativity. I don't think I'm going to ovulate. If I do ovulate, my LP will probably be too short for anything to actually happen. If I dont ovulate, that'll be the 2nd time in the last 4 months. And that's never happened to me before. I've never missed a month (that I know of). Another month will be gone. Another month older. Maybe I wont be able to have another child cuz of my age. My appt for the doctor isnt until January. Just feeling a little defeated I guess and wanting to vent it

Sorry you are feeling down. Normally your luteal phase should stay the same unless you are doing something to extend it etc. So you for ovulate late you AF might come late

I was hoping I’d get my first flashing smiley today to give me 3 flashing ones CD 10/11/12 and then solid on CD13. But it was low again today. Now I’m keeping fingers crossed that I get flashing tomorrow so CD 11/12/13 and solid on 14 (donor has said he can do extra donation on CD 14 if needed)

So an update, I tested this morning, and yup you guessed it’s a BFN, feel a bit of a fool anyway there is a shadow but I couldn’t get it on a photo it’s that light and I am not convinced it’s even a line, I am upset but it is still early and I do have a few days of testing to go.

I do feel like something is happening in my body, but not sure about even that, I hate second guessing myself so I’ll test this afternoon again and hopefully over the next few days of testing something will happen and I will get that BFP! Have a great day!

Still early days - maybe get a FRER if you can and take in a day or two?

I think I am going to wait for a FRER till the weekend or I get bolder lines on these IC, I’m in no rush to buy FRER at the moment, if it had been a positive a clear positive this morning then I would have but I still think it’s too early and if I hadn’t had that dye run ( wasn’t even a dry run it was a dye pool) I just would have waited anyway. Fingers crossed I will get that BFP!

Bit of a shock for me being back in here..... not quite expected. Long story short I’m ovulating early! Not my usual day 14. Day 11- today. DTD Sunday so obviously that has caught us short as we are using naturally family planning until my husbands vasectomy in the New Year . I have ordered the morning after pill that arrives today but I think I’m too late as I’ve had ovulation pain....... not quite prepared for a BFP. I already have 3 kids and baby is only 8 months old. Very unsure how I feel but please put me down for testing 9th December should be 8dpo by then or there abouts. Hopefully it’s okay me being here it’s very different being on the other side of the fence this time. But could do with the support.

Still negative opk

I’m gonna have to change my test date but will leave it a couple days and see if anything happens.

Cd5 for me today. 5 more days and I can start the clear blue 4days opks. Mite start the cheapies on cd8 which I know is early as ovulation won’t be untill day 13 to 15 or so even later this month because I’ve upped the macca root from 500 to 1000mg.
Really hope they work and I don’t have anymore miscarriages.

I keep wondering what the reacurrent miscarriage doctor is going to say to me during my tellaphone appointment on Thursday morning.
Scared he’s gonna say something about my age and refuse to do any further investigation because of our ages.

My birthday is in 17 days and turning 41 does not fill me with any hope. If I struggled at 40 getting and staying pregnant then I can’t see 41 being any better.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope that your doctor will be helpful and not dismissive

 

[MadamRose]

@GemmaG hope you end up with the result you want

@ciz sorrt your cycle is causing issues hope you get a positive opk soon. Let me know new date when you decide and I’ll change it.

@Mum42crazy I hope you get an answer soon.

@Suggerhoney hope the doctor is useful and helpful for you let us know what happens

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Mum42crazy Sorry it was BFN this morning, but still early. FX'd for you.
@Suggerhoney I hope the Dr is helpful as well.
@MadamRose Hopefully see a smiley soon. Good though that the donation can still happen the 14th! FX'd for you.

Hi ladies, I will catch up later but it's finally December yay! For those following from previous months I was laid off but have one job offer currently, and waiting on another offer any moment now (which is my first choice). Crossing fingers - I'll feel a lot better TTC if I am employed! We've been trying for #2 since June but did take two months kind of 'off' in there..it'll happen when it happens. Hubby and I have been having ups and downs too. But we do want a second kiddo!

It's hard for me to get on and post with being home with my toddler all day - I find it hard to post on mobile and she's all over me if I get my laptop out LOL. So I try the mornings before she's up (like now). Once I'm working again I'll be on my computer all day and able to sneak a few moments! Fx that's soon.

What's everyone's plans for the holidays with the virus? Such a different year.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Thanks ladies. I'm a bit disappointed its just a telephone appointment because I've already had my hormone levels checked and all was normal. Even FSH levels were normal so no peri menopause like the doctor at my doctors surgery first thought. Progesterone, and every hormone all normal.
So I was really hoping to get a scan to rule out anything on the inside like Fibroids or cysts or something worse.

Just praying there is nothing wrong with me or DH.
I know we can definitely still fall pregnant because I have 4 times this year but its the staying pregnant thats the problem.

Just really hope the Macca root works and if we do catch this cycle it is supper dupper sticky and healthy and viable and will be a healthy take home baby

My lunch time test is just an anomaly right? I hadn’t been to the toilet since like 7.30am and I took me 1hour to to look at the test (not the 30 mins max suggested- panicking now)

No I’ve got creamy CM and I always get watery for a day before EWCM. Normally get a positive OPK on CD 13 so 3 more days never had one this dark this early. It went straight back down so hoping it was the length of hold and lack of fluids
