Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

don’t know if it’s just an evap line? don’t want to get my hopes up! my boobs are sore underneath. But no other symptoms!

So I’m 10dpo and took this clear blue, it was I thought negative but went back about an hour later and found this?

I finally got a positive OPK on cycle day 25. Wish me luck!

Not quite*

@EffRam @ablisha @Spark27 Ah AF buddies!

I've had zero signs or symptoms of implantation or anything. On Friday I should be 11dpo if I did ovulate so I may be tempted then too.

Hi everyone, been a manic few days so only just catching up, good luck to everyone on their TWW and awaiting the mysterious AF 🙈

I'm preparing myself to not be successful this month.
I had horrible nausea on the day I actually ovulated, we DTD the day before so hoping that may be enough, but I've since got tonsillitis and work stress has gone through the roof, so not expecting my body to co-operate much 😔
Due on the 18th, quite in the 21st club!
We will just have to see what happens

@JaffaCakeGal I have very short periods, so maybe you're just lucky too!! Mine started Friday night and was basically over by Sunday. I just count it as luck, I had a bit of a read around it and it shouldn't affect TTC

Hmm well my AF was very short lived, started Sat morn, almost over by Mon afternoon! Maybe this is the withdrawal bleed? Or maybe I'm just lucky

@Wintergal 31! Hopefully I'll have the same, it's been 29 days and no sign of it

Holland & Barrett have their 1p sale on in case anyone wants to stock up on folic acid/vitD/ pregnacare etc

@lucymagoo when I stopped it was 31 days to the withdrawal and then 45 to The first Af as such xx

@lucymagoo I didn't seem to have an instant withdrawal - my period just came a month later!

I'm 4 weeks off the pill now and no sign of any withdrawal. How long did it take everyone to get theirs? I'm so impatient

@ablisha, yay another one on the 21st bus.

@TheLastStark I know what you mean. I'm thinking that now and this will be our 2nd. Scary wondering how we'll fit another one into our already packed lives. But I'm sure it will work. It's has to. And if you want kids you have to do it sometime. There's never a perfect time.

I seem to have stopped bleeding. Or at least for today . Feeling a bit twingy down there, and feeling quite nauseous. But I felt like that last month and it meant nothing. I think all just too sensitive to everything at the moment. Damn TWW

@ablisha and @TheLastStark my period was ridiculously light when I stopped the pill. I actually mentioned it to the nurse when I went to my smear, she said it can be normal if you're on it for a long time as it thins the uterus lining which obviously is what is shed. However, as long as your periods are regular it is nothing to worry about with regard to conceiving. The other contributor to light periods can be iron levels though so worth upping the green veg/red meat if you're also feeling tired!

@FootballAndBeer145 hope you get to the bottom of it!

@yoomoo yes AF did show up on Friday night, more or less when expected. I knew I couldn't be pregnant so wouldn't have tested anyway unless it was super late! Now on CD2, not due to ovulate until 28th Jan according to Fitbit (cycles vary a bit though) so just a couple of weeks of waiting now!

@TheLastStark hey! My period is definitely lighter off the pill which I thought was strange so it's interesting to hear I'm not the only one who has found this!

I was so apprehensive about starting TTC despite really wanting a baby but now we've started I feel fine!

Hey everybody, the thread's moved so fast!

AF has arrived and weirdly seems to be lighter and not as crampy as when I was on the pill/IUD.

We're still a bit nervous about properly trying this month so we'll be taking it really easy and seeing what we feel like.

Hope everybody has been well!

@FootballAndBeer145 sounds like a good idea!

My boobs are still so sore and worse because my DH keeps lying on them or elbowing them 😭

@footballandbeer145 sounds like docs is sensible - if nothing else as soon as you have an appointment I'm sure you'll come on, always seems to be the way!!

I have had cramps and lower back pain last couple of days. OF course I'm convinced this is implantation, not due to a long physical dog walk with the buggy through mud yesterday...!

@FootballAndBeer145 hopefully the docs will be able to work out what's going on. I don't get how our bodies can be so confusing. We're they always like this and we're just paying more attention now? Or are they messing with us now we're TTC?! It seems like we're all being massively confused by ourselves.

My morning has been greatly improved by wrapping a croissant around a sausage (not a euphemism )

So I did another preg test this morning and it's negative - going to book a GP appointment. Rather confused what's going on with my body

@eitak22 that sounds like me, I've never paid much attention to 'symptoms', now I notice every thing

Well according to Clue, AF is due soon. Never have guessed with how emotional and sensitive i am . Am finding tracking signs helpful to monitor what my periods are like as can't say i've ever paid a huge amount of attention especially with being on the pill previously.

Had a crazy day today so testing tomorrow

Felt really emotional this week so could be AF coming although I never usually get like that

DP is at work early tomo & told me text him the result - I feel really odd about texting him if positive but doubt I'd be able to wait until home.

How's everyone's weekend?
