Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Congratulations @butterflylove81. I swear it happens when you least expect it to.

Hi, I've had a stressful two days. I was under the perinatal team for both my pregnancies as I have bad anxiety I fell apart yesterday all my tests were negative I saw my cpn who was AMAZING. I've woken up with a bit of a hangover and this

Hey all! We are trying for our first and wanted to explain our situation, I came off the pill in December and had my withdrawal bleed , I then had my first natural bleed on the 10th January and haven’t had anything since then! Not a positive OPK and no AF. That’s CD35 now... what were your experiences with this? I’m 25 and had normal period before starting the pill 9 years ago. The fact I had a normal bleed 5/6 days after my withdrawal made me think my AF had started properly again already! Should I be more patient ? Should I keep doing OPKs? Congrats on all the BFP out there

Thank you everyone! AF isn't due yet so still feel like I can't get too excited yet! Line was darker today on the cheapie strips though xx

I found out a friend was pregnant through ivf today it's been a good day for baby dust

@rhiabumblebee yaaaaay!! Mega chuffed for you you've made my day. I'm not sure I'm pregnant this month and hearing others are makes me so happy. Congratulations! Xxxx

Hi!

Newbie to the thread here :-). My BF and I are going to start TTC in March (getting the ski holiday out of the way first ). I'm 31 and this would be our first. Really excited but feeling very grownup which is a bit scary haha. Just wanted to say hey! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks but everyone seems so lovely I wanted to join in haha

@rhirhibumblebee I can see it! Congratulations!

Can't believe it, I think I must have ovulated sooner than I thought after all. I did get the EWCM 11 days ago so maybe as far as 11dpo. After the last two pregnancies didn't work, I'm super nervous ! Xx

Yes @rhirhibumblebee!!!!!!!! Eeeekkkkkk so happy for you!!!!

As in, I can see a 'yes you're pregnant' line!

I can see one!!!

Could it be??? I caved ! I tested! It wasn't my FMU which is a shame now. Can anyone see a line ????

Does anyone else suffer from ovulation pain? Its really painful on both sides at the moment to the point where I can't straighten up or walk without pain.

4 days until period I have another bfn I'm not feeling too hopeful this month anymore

Glad you're feeling better @yoomoo!

I'm 32, and on month two of ttc, it's both of our first so hoping it won't take too long. On cd5 today so expecting to ovulate towards the end if next week, when we can get into another round of DH asking me if I 'feel pregnant yet' 🙄

Good idea with the roll call. There's a few new ones to the thread. 😀

I'm ttc #3 I have two boys already. I suffered a chemical pregnancy in October and then MC at 6 weeks in November. The miscarriage took ages for the HCG to come down from 690 so only started ttc again in January.

I'm currently 7 or 8dpo at least. So I'm excited to crack open the FRER soon 🙈. I've had lots of cramping pains today at work which I've never noticed with any pregnancies before but have my fingers crossed anyway!

@yoomoo Glad you're feeling better! I'm still suffering with tiredness since I had a virus the other week.

@EffRam no still 4 days away from period so still a chance I just showed up really early with my other two girls but I guess that doesn't mean it would happen every time

@Effram I'm going to test again she I get back from work. Hopefully it will be darker as I've been getting ovulation pain in both sides for the past 2 days.

@LynseyLou1982 that doesn't look quite positive to me, as unlike pregnancy tests the line needs to be the same or darker as control. Worth continuing to test regularly though to see if it gets darker?

@butterflylove81 that's disappointing, but are you late yet? could still be a bit early?

Both tests negative digital and first response I felt sick this am. I'm wondering if maybe it implanted and hasn't worked and I just have some symptoms x

I'm 37 and trying for no.2 we managed it first time round with no.1 so I'm feeling under pressure now to do it again. Came of the pill a month ago but no sign of anything happening yet. I never used OPKs the first time but I have this time as no idea what's going on. Took one yesterday and think it was positive. Trying to upload a photo here but couldn't do it for some reason.

any news, @butterflylove81 ???

Congratulations @MummyBearBoo!

Happy birthday @yoomoo!

I'm 33 and TTC no 2 (my son is 16 months) this is cycle 2. first time round it took around 3 cycles, but we caught the first time I used OPKS.

4DPO so in the TWW now, period due 19/20th but I imagine I will end up testing this weekend although we are going away so I may try and be strong and not take any tests with me! No symptoms yet - definitel y haven't wasted loads of time looking back at my apps from 2 years ago when I conceived before to analyse further symptoms...

I've just got a smiley face on an ovulation stick I heard they can sometimes detect pregnancy. I really want it to be morning so I can test

Oh and I'm 38
