Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Congrats @JaffaCakeGal ! Definitely a line x

@butterflylove81 I’m sure that is a sign of pg but I get really intensely hungry the few days before af comes too, then when she’s here I have no appetite. Since I came off the pill I’ve been quite hungry all the time! Hopefully it’s a good sign for you though x

@JaffaCakeGal I can see the line. Congratulations x

There is DEFINITELY a line!! Congratulations! Xx

Am I going mad or is there a line? I knew I should have ordered the FRERs off Amazon!

Can someone please talk me out of doing a pregnancy test at 9 days post ovulation as I'm sure it will be negative. Today I just felt so hungry and I can normally forget to eat breakfast and sometimes lunch.
I've had
A fry up (last day of holiday)
9 McDonald's chicken nuggets a large fries and an apple slice I've never ordered 9 in my entire life! I felt hungry again an hour after
Went to pick up a Chinese and ate some sushi from the shop while I waited to pick it up because felt starving

Note: my diet is not normally this bad i got gestational diabetes at 5 weeks pregnant last time so have used the two week wait to indulge in things I might not be able to eat for 9 months

AF due tomorrow according to Ovia (based on if I have a 28 day cycle - who knows!) Can't decide whether to test tonight or tomorrow or be strong and hold out until next week only have cheapy tests so not sure how sensitive they are!

Looks like I'm out for this month, after a few days of on/off spotting AF has arrived today. Ah well. At least I know I'm ovulating/getting AF which is a positive sign.

Here's to month two... but 🍷

False alarm with the possible AF/Withdrawal bleed, back to nothing at all :-(

Sorry @lucymagooI can't see anything BUT it's so early I would test in a few days!

@butterflylove81 nothing passes to the embryo for the first couple of weeks so you are definitely safe to drink if you want to! 'drink til it's pink' was what a doctor said to me haha! Tbh even when pregnant, 1-2 units 1-2 times a week is still safe, but I don't think I know anyone who has actually fancied drinking at all in the first trimester, last time around I kept fancying a glass later in the pregnancy but after one mouthful I didn't want any more! I feel like our bodies are actually pretty good at keeping us safe.

Temp rise for me today, no positive OPK but def darker yesterday so I am assuming ovulation has now occurred... and the wait begins!

@lucymagoo I'm sorry I can't see anything, but 9dpo would be very unusual to get a positive! I'd say try again at 11 or 12dpo.

I'm currently 8/9 dpo and was starting to feel hopeful after no boob soreness (I normally get it almost immediately post ov). I also had the tiniest bit of pinky orange CM yesterday and thought it could be implantation.

But today I've talked myself out of it being positive and now I'm sure I'm not pregnant 🤣 I think it's just because I don't want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed, better to have low expectations and get a nice surprise!!

How's everyone else doing? Anyone close to testing? I'm trying to wait until next Thursday which will be 15/16dpo, so definitely late for AF.

Rhirhibumblebee I forgot to reply my other two are 3 and 17 months so If fall pregnant in next 2 months for a couple of months I'd have 3 under 4!!! Love it but I'm possibly slightly mad but just don't want to wait much longer husband is 10 years older than me and if I wait till they are older I think he will say he's getting too old haha. I'm so excited I'm on holiday and am booked in to have a facial tomorrow I'm just going to relax ironically when I went in to book they had a display cabinet of necklaces like those 'tree of life' ones I don't know why but I feel I want to buy one as a good luck charm I'm a hopeless romantic wore a piece of string woth this little angel wing on during my last pregnancy is meant to put it in my daughters keepsake box but I lost it sometime after she was born :(

Also I think I might be able to see a faint line on the black and white I'm used to squinting as testing from day10 post ovulation with both my girls xxx

*rest of holiday until I test

Lucymagoo thanks I'm 6 days post ovulation today I'm not going to have any alcohol for the reatof my holiday until I rest now xxx

I caved and did a test at 9dpo am I being really hopeful to say I see something on the black and white version??

@butterflylove81nothing passes through until after you’ve implanted which can be like 10 days after ovulation so I’m sure you’re absolutely fine. And if any did pass on then it would barely be enough to cause harm :)

Not sure what people normally do? It's so hard not knowing

Do you all abstain from alcohol in the 2WW I was on honeymoon when I conceived didn't know I was pregnant with my first. Does any alcohol pass to the baby if there's no placenta. We are on holiday and I have no idea if I'm pregnant or not so have sort of carried on as normal but I feel awful now and have decided to cut out coffee alcohol etc for the next 8 days. Not sure any people normally do or if it can affect things this early on

Sorry to hear @alliejay81 :( af sucks. February buddies 🤞🏼💛

@TheLastStark hope you feel better soon.

Still not sure what's going on my end. I woke up fully expecting to have full on AF and... nothing, until about mid morning when I started spotting again. Going to give it another couple of days and if no 'proper' bleeding I'll do a test to be sure.

@TheLastStark I know how you feel, got my hopes this morning when I woke up feeling exhausted and dizzy etc (is it normal to be happy about feeling unwell? 😂) but it turns out 3 other people in my office feel the same so just a bug I think

I think AF/withdrawal bleed is coming. Little bits of brown spotting today (sorry for the TMI)

@TheLastStark hope you feel better soon. There is so much going around at the moment.

Does anyone use preseed fertility lube? If so do you use it around ovulation only or for all your cycle?

Two tests done, both negative

I've booked a doctor's appointment as I'm still very queasy. Seems like a badly timed stomach bug.

Now just waiting for period to come so we can move onto the next cycle
