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!

@TheLastStark fingers crossed for you, any news??

@butterflylove81 and @Ginger87 also sounds promising, keeping fingers crossed for you too!

Apps predicting ovulation tomorrow, nothing on OPK yesterday though but temp dropped today so here's hoping... my husband is getting quite tired and has been getting in from work at 1am but is under strict instructions to wake me up haha! Sex is getting less sexy and more...efficient... by the day!

Massively seem to be symptom spotting, I had this funny stingy twinge yesterday day 5 post ovulation and since we dtd. Had a similar feeling about 6 days after I conceived my last daughter I know it's most likely nothing but hard not to read into it x

alliejay81 · 04/02/2020 22:44

I'm really bad at tracking, but I've been good this month. So I was pleased to confirm

a) my cycle length is very normal (30 days)
b) I ovulated and
c) my luteal phase is within the normal range (16 days).

Already worked out both DH and I are on holiday for my next ovulation, so that's positive!

Fx it's implantation bleeding.

Ginger87 · 04/02/2020 21:44

@alliejay81 that's a shame :(

I noticed some spotting this evening after my earlier post which feels like it's probably the start of AF, but guess it could potentially still be implantation bleeding at 12dpo?

alliejay81 · 04/02/2020 20:07

AF arrived Sad. Here's to TTC in Feb Wine.

Ginger87 · 04/02/2020 19:54

Fingers crossed @TheLastStark

I'm due in the next couple of days, so will test on Saturday if AF doesn't show. Been feeling rather PMSy today though so not holding up much hope...

lucymagoo · 04/02/2020 18:49

That sounds very promising @TheLastStark! Let us know how you do. I cried at work today but probably more stress and my Pisces-ness than any pregnancy symptoms 😂

Newbie0818 · 04/02/2020 18:35

Mine took 2 months @LynseyLou1982 and still irregular, stopped the pill in August ‘19! Always worth it to poas, it’s torture not having any other signs x

lucymagoo · 04/02/2020 18:10

@LynseyLou1982 mine took 5 weeks I think so wouldn't worry too much

LynseyLou1982 · 04/02/2020 17:24

This Thursday will be 3 weeks since I stopped the pill and nothing yet no sign of any withdrawal bleed. I'm due to donate blood next Saturday a d they ways ask if I'm pregnant or think I could be pregnant. If nothings happened by then should I POAS just to rule it out?

Newbie0818 · 04/02/2020 17:12

Thanks for all the kind words :)

Hoping for the best for everyone waiting!

Fx @TheLastStark!

TheLastStark · 04/02/2020 14:37

Hey guys, been a while!

I'm trying reeaallllyyy hard not to get ahead of myself but period was due today and nothing, and I threw up at work, as weird as it is to be celebrating!

Didn't eat anything odd, but could all be me coming down with something.
I have some tests laying around at home, will test then and see!

Fingers crossed

JaffaCakeGal · 04/02/2020 13:37

@rhirhibumblebee I'm in the TWW (I think! Bloody pill!) had the tiniest amount of spotting on Sunday then nothing since, AF/testing due next Saturday! My boobs are so heavy but then they were before last AF too so who knows Smile

rhirhibumblebee · 03/02/2020 19:24

Hi everyone. !! That's my TWW officially started now!! I feel really excited for some reason this month but I keep telling myself not to be else I might be super disappointed! How is everyone?? Anyone about to or in the TWW?

@Newbie0818 Sorry about AF. Onwards and upwards for next cycle 😘

@NeverGotMyPuppy Yay congrats! That's brilliant news!

@Effram Good luck and fingers crossed!

Effram · 03/02/2020 10:17

Morning all, hope all well! Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy, commiserations @Newbie0818

It's fertile week for me here with ovulation predicted for wed/thurs. Hilariously I just had a stress because I meant to bring an OPK to work with me to test and therefore had ruined everything. Then I got a grip and remembered I will ovulate even if I don't test and see it. Definitely time to relax!

FootballAndBeer145 · 03/02/2020 10:00

@NeverGotMyPuppy congrats!

I'm leaving the apps alone this cycle & trying to not be too obsessive!

NeverGotMyPuppy · 03/02/2020 09:14

@Newbie0818 sorry this month hasn't worked for you - I hope it does really soon x

Newbie0818 · 03/02/2020 06:46

Thanks @eitak22

Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy 🎉

eitak22 · 02/02/2020 23:52

@NeverGotMyPuppy Congratulations! How exciting to have a BFP already!

@yoomoo my fertile week is next week so similar time frame.

@Newbie0818 sorry it wasnt what you hoped. Will keep everything crossed for this month.

JaffaCakeGal · 02/02/2020 21:29

Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy !!!

alliejay81 · 02/02/2020 21:15

@NeverGotMyPuppy yay! congrats!

NeverGotMyPuppy · 02/02/2020 21:00

Well i'm a little shocked to say that I took a test this afternoon and it was positive.

I'm a bit shocked!

Newbie0818 · 02/02/2020 18:56

Thanks @Ginger87 and @alliejay81 ☺️ I’m going to give the obsessive “tracking” of everything a break and just DTD for fun this cycle, which I’m sure hubby will appreciate 😂 (still frequently though, which will also be a treat :P)

Fx for everyone 🤞🏼

Ginger87 · 02/02/2020 18:42

@Newbie0818 that's a shame, baby dust for next month!

@alliejay81 I'm still holding out some hope for you.

alliejay81 · 02/02/2020 17:53

Aww thanks. But buddies for sure next month!
