Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Join here please! I’m still taking my pill at the moment but current packet runs out on 7th Jan so planning to start then but not really track anything officially. I’ve been reading up about conception vitamins and going to buy some this week to start taking after new year- does anyone have recommendations for particular brands?
Will be my first but partners 2nd, very nervous but excited at the same time. No idea what to expect but hoping to have some ladies in the same situation to chat to!

@FootballAndBeer145 I think you need a blood test to try and figure out what’s occurring!

Congratulations @RBSK1 that’s lovely news! I bet you are so excited but shocked at the same time Smile

I feel so sick today 🤢 nipples are crazy sore! Also had some funny discharge earlier which is very odd. All of it is adding up to either being pregnant or AF arriving. My first response tests should arrive from amazon today so I think I’ll do one of those Sunday just to give it a little longer- plus DP will be around (he’ll be asleep in the morning after night shift and I’d rather he is awake!)

How is everyone else doing?

Congrats @RBSK1!

Congrats! Such wonderful news @RBSK1

FootballAndBeer145 · 17/01/2020 11:06

Congratulations @RBSK1

Spark27 · 17/01/2020 10:07

Yay, congratulations @RBSK1

RBSK1 · 17/01/2020 10:01

So bloods came back.......

Levels are 16ml HCG so they’ve said it’s very early stages. Plan to take a clear blue digital tomorrow in the hope it’s after the 48hour doubling mark!

Looks like that’s a positive then 😁

Just caught up after a few days off here - been trying to use my phone less

Congratulations to those with BFPs!

I'm still none the wiser what's going on, day 52, no AF & negative tests. I used First Response twice (5th Jan & 12th Jan) - I'm tempted to try a different brand but not sure if would make any different.

eitak22 · 16/01/2020 22:38

Congratulations Switcheroo! Exciting we've had positives already!

Got everything crossed @RBSK1, hope it's a positive!

I'm still waiting for my AF. Clue has informed me it's late but definitely ni chance of pregnancy as were at family when ovulation would have happened. Just waiting to properly start trying. X

Spark27 · 16/01/2020 20:40

Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow @RBSK1

Congratulations @switcharoo

switcharoo · 16/01/2020 20:22

Sorry tagged wrong person! Meant @RBSK1 !

switcharoo · 16/01/2020 20:22

I told DH tonight and wrapped up a positive test as a present, there was less shock than with DS and just more happiness! We realise how lucky we are it working on the first cycle both times.
And I've told DH I don't want to start saying fingers crossed it sticks/if all goes well etc I'm just him going to really enjoy it 
Good luck for your results tomo @EffRam !

rhirhibumblebee · 16/01/2020 20:13

@yoomoo @EffRam Ok hand hold for Saturday 🤩. I've ordered a two pack of First Response which should arrive fri/sat . I'm honestly not expecting anything though this month if I'm honest! Xx

RBSK1 · 16/01/2020 20:13

@yoomoo Doc was a bit of a female dog in all fairness. Dismissed the tests as a manufacturing error and reluctantly took a blood test. Taken 3 tests since including a clear blue early detection. Still the same faint positive line.

All will be revealed tomorrow lunchtime when I get blood results back!

EffRam · 16/01/2020 20:05

@yoomoo and @rhirhibumblebee I'll join you in Saturday test, I think the Amazon one steps are actually similar sensitivity as frer but could be wrong...

@RBSK1 how did you get on with the doctors today? Hope it went well for you!

@EffRam how funny about September! There could be a few babies born that month on here Smile wonder what the full moon connection is?!

I also did a test this morning and it was negative, but most likely still too early and perhaps not a sensitive enough test as I was only using amazon ones. Think I’ll try a first response on Saturday like @rhirhibumblebee

Congratulations @switcharoo that’s definitely a line Flowers

Those with positive tests have you told your DH/DP yet? I bet that’s a lovely feeling I can’t wait Smile

@yoomoo I thought that might be the reason haha!

@Lola871 Mine is too! And I have two healthy boys and hasn't caused any problems 😀. My uterus tilts the opposite way too.

@Anon87 Yes I had been asked to have mine re-done as it's inconclusive.

@EffRam yes I tried but BFN, (due Tuesday too) shall we try again Saturday ? I fee horrendous, headache, sore throat and my wisdom teeth have started playing up so may need anti biotics 😩. Just feel really run down at the moment.

@switcharoo That's great! Congratulations 🎉🎉

Congrats @switcheroo!

lastonetime · 16/01/2020 12:27

@switcharoo that looks clear to me!

charlesthekudu · 16/01/2020 12:23

Let yourself celebrate!! Wahooo

EffRam · 16/01/2020 12:16

@switcharoo it's looking pretty positive to me!

switcharoo · 16/01/2020 12:06

Just took this one now, much stronger line and pink Grin

charlesthekudu · 16/01/2020 11:49

@switcharoo it's definitely a positive!! Even though faint it's still a BFP!

switcharoo · 16/01/2020 11:16

I took a pink dye cheapie and got a very faint line and another faint blue line so that's 3 thin blue lines now, still 3 days till AF so hoping to see them getting darker by the weekend! I'm still not convinced it's a BFP at this stage
