Getting the new year started! Quite a few good results last month, let’s keep the good vibes going. This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW. As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate. Month/Cycle: Timing: CD/DPO: Symptoms: RRCS: GTKY: Any resolutions this year? Read more: howeverithappened.proboards.com/thread/29115/december-ttc#ixzz69vQnZ2Cm

Month/Cycle: 2/2
Timing: -2, -1, 0
CD/DPO: 21/8
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good. All the usual cramping, which I ignore bc the progesterone plays mind games. I have been eating a lot of apples with peanut butter this week, which is not typical for me. Today I realized I ate a ton of it when I was pregnant with my daughter, so fingers crossed for me.
RRCS: Just already getting impatient. After doing IVF/FET for two kids, there is just so much more waiting around. I’m used to a lot more doctors appointment/bloodwork/steps. I’m still doing letrozole/timed intercourse this time, but it’s really different for me.
GTKY: Any resolutions this year? We are moving in a few months once our house is being done being built. So I’m trying to purge and get everything ready for the move. Already did the kitchen yesterday and it felt so good to throw out stuff that never got used.

Month/Cycle: 7
Timing: Great, if I o'd when I think I did
CD/DPO: 2
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I didn't get a positive OPK this cycle (again), but temps and CM suggest I did O. An ad for a progesterone testing kit popped up on one of my TTC apps. I'm trying to stay away from gimmicky TTC purchases and wait for my dr's guidance, but that kit seems tempting.
GTKY: Any resolutions this year? I've decided that 2020 is the year I tackle gardening. My yard looks so sad and boring.

Month/Cycle: 6
Timing: hoping it’ll be good!
CD/DPO: CD8
Symptoms: none yet.
RRCS: I am mad at myself for not ordering the OPK sticks for the device my friend let me borrow (that helped me get pregnant with my MC in November). I didn’t want them to come and sit on our front steps while we were away for the holiday and then I forgot, and even with prime shipping wouldn’t come in good time now. So I’m winging it!
GTKY: Any resolutions this year? I'm just hoping this is a more positive year.

Hi! I'm new here. I'm 36 and TTC #2. We have one DS who is about to turn 5. Excited to meet you ladies! Month/Cycle: 1/1 Timing: Not there yet, hopefully good but I need to remember how to time this CD/DPO: CD6 Symptoms: Nothing yet RRCS: We had planned to try about a year and a half ago and called it off at the last minute for various reasons. I'd already bought a bunch of cheap test strips so I just put them in the closet and moved on. Well I got them out the other day and they're all expired. Anyone have a favorite brand you'd recommend? Last time I used wondfo strips and then confirmed on a FRER when the lines got darker, but that was in 2014 so I have no idea what's good these days. I haven't decided yet if I'll use OPKs but I'd like to have some pregnancy tests on hand. GTKY: Any resolutions this year? Well, get pregnant, hopefully. But that one's obvious. Keep exercising and stay healthy/improve. I'm in much better shape than I was when I got pregnant with DS and I'd like to keep that up as much as possible, for a lot of reasons . I'm in a book club that's trying to read all of Shakespeare this year. We started yesterday with Twelfth Night. Save money and be more intentional about spending. And finally two that don't go together at all: eat less sugar, and learn how to make macarons.

Month/Cycle: 8
Timing: ? Not sure yet, should be good though
CD/DPO: 15
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I thought yesterday would be O day, but my temps don't agree. I got a positive opk on Thursday, negative yesterday but no temp jump yet. Maybe today is the day?
GTKY: Any resolutions this year? I don't make resolutions because I never keep them. Though I would like to get back to being healthier, it's been a bad few months.

Good luck everyone! audrey I use wondfos mostly. I have some FRERs too, but I’ve heard people talking about more false positives with those recently. So I plan to just use the cheapies. Not spending more money than I have to. Negative test this morning at 10DPO. So we’ll see what happens in a few days. If nothing by Thursday, I stop meds and wait for my period.

Ok, wtf.
Period is due today. No sight of it.
I got a yes+ on first response digital and not pregnant on a clear blue.
My cheapies gave one negative. One faint positive squinter.
I’m losing my mind. Nothing left to do but test tomorrow morning I guess.

My reading tells me that first response has been giving false positives. And that’s crazy. Even on digitals. So I’m not hopeful.
But my period isn’t here so we shall see.

Nothing left to do but test tomorrow morning I guess. Ohhhh fingers crossed!!! What brand of cheapies are you using? Wondfo was giving me shadows so I switched to accumed this past cycle. I know the pink dye FRER have been giving false positives lately but the digitals seem crazy since they usually need more HCG. I'm so crazy, with that much conflicting test information I would crack that FRER digi open and look for the line. Then I'd be on my way to buy more tests. You're so patient to wait until tomorrow!

donnameagle fingers crossed for you! I definitely think the standard FRERs are a hot mess with indent lines, but I haven’t heard that the digitals are dicey too. I’ll be thinking about you!!

Ok I did crack it open cause some other blog recommended doing that but I do NOT see where I would see a line? LOL Cheapies are the 25 pack for $7 on amazon. Blue packaging. Anyone use this? But seriously fuck a false positive. Lol.

Reviews are saying LOTS of false positives and with FRER digital. Which is insane to me. I’ve never heard of digitals being false positive. Until now.

I tested with my amazon cheapies. Both came back with faint lines. But... according to when I thought I O’d, I should be 15dpo now, and those lines should be MUCH darker. OR now I’m questioning myself, maybe I didn’t get a positive O test, maybe it was just dark and I O’d a day or two later and really I’m only 12ish dpo? So it’s either not a viable pregnancy or I was way off. I’m gonna go pick up some other tests today cause my mind is going crazy.

Upon further research of reviews of this brand, the lines are very faint across the board.
I... think I’m pregnant y’all.
What a fucking ride these past 24 hours. 😂

In case you’re wondering yes I did make H go out and get me more digitals and pink dye tests. Those stupid faint lines are killing me! H rolled his eyes but happily obliged. He knows I’m gonna be on pins and needles no matter what.

With so many faint lines, I can’t imagine this is a fluke. Have you tried a clear blue digital? The FRER’s give out false positives even digitals. I have not read that on the CB. I did get a positive CB digital today. When yesterday’s was negative.

Do you have more dye tests?

I'm so sorry @zweber. Please be gentle with yourself and know that any feelings you have around this valid and ok. Loss is difficult and devastating. I'm sorry you're experiencing this.
