Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Now I'm unsure it was the 2nd I went to the doctors I think. I think I'm overthinking this it's so hard

Hi all, sounds like everyone's in a bit of a waiting period at the moment! I started getting ovulation pain today but haven't had a positive on an OPK yet so not sure what's going on there! Will keep testing with OPKs and see if they go positive or not.

Just checking in. Nearly two weeks since I took my last pill and still no sign of AF but I'm having a bit of cramping so it may be on its way. Is it weird that I want it to be so that I can properly start tracking and using the OPKs I bought?

Sorry it was the 9th of January I thought I had a positive on the opk

I don't know why but I've been spotting today and this never really happens to me I'm on CD14 started having sex on CD10 but haven't really had a positive on an ovulation stick yet today the line seems lighter than yesterday but it's never been a proper line I was expecting it to darken over next few days as I'm supposedly due to ovulate sometime from tomorrow according to Ovia? I think I had a positive on an ovulation stick on the 2nd of jan. could it be stress?

Hello, how is everyone? @rhirhibumblebee you ok?

I have been super busy but it feels like a very long wait for ovulation, still another week to go I reckon! anyone else expecting it around then? I need a buddy!

@Ginger87 maybe, you never know! We're giving it a good go for the next 12 months and then I can put it behind me and move on with being a family of three. My DH is working away next week so I might as well leave it to the Friday to test if AF hasn't arrived. Good luck for next week!

@lucymagoo I think AF is due on the 6th, so planning to test on the 8th if it hasn't come... unless I crack and do one of the early result ones.

@alliejay81 hopefully this one will be the lucky one.

I'm going to assume my LH spike on Sunday was enough to ovulate and I just missed the peak, will prob be testing around 10th Feb. Anyone else looking to test around then?

I'm 10dpo. But I don't think AF is due until the 4th Feb. I definitely won't be testing until at least 4th Feb as I've had too many BFN in my time. I think I'm the only person on this thread who wants TWW to carry on forever. Whilst I'm in TWW I've got hope I guess?

@FootballandBeer145 I hope it goes well with the tests.

I'm now 4dpo and symptom spotting like crazy, even though it's highly unlikely that I'd be getting any symptoms so early.

• I've been having quite vivid dreams (which is unlike me),
• Been feeling a bit nauseous (though also wondering if that's all in my head?),
• Got a slight backache (but maybe I haven't stretched enough?)
• Keep getting pains in my stomach/sides....

Any suggestions on how not to think about it??

Saw the GP today, being sent for blood tests and scans as she thinks it could be PCOS (looking at the symptoms I agree). Looks like this ttc malarkey could take longer than anticipated

How was everyone's Monday?

Sorry gearing

Hearing not hearing

Angel son cd11 looks good to me, mine was so faint today but I tried anyway. I fell pregnant somehow first month by some sort of miracle the last two pregnancies so I'm up a height that we are actually going for it this month after a year of debating if we will have a 3rd baby so I genuinely don't know how to face the 2ww and doing a test I just don't know what to expect I very much doubt we could ever get pregnant first time 3x so I'm hearing myself up to be disappointed but at the same time am just excited I'm a bag of nerves right now and I'm still 3 days away from ovulation according to Ovia

It’s so frustrating we are not overly sure if that was a positive as i did test again later twice and the line just got lighter... I am not sure I fully trust these test... maybe as it is my first cycle since TTC it is longer but who knows! Best of luck

I’m having the same issue now, did another OPK to see if it was getting any stronger and it’s blank :(
Looks like you ovulated on CD 11 to me and maybe just missed the peak
I’m more confused than ever

The one step tests say the line needs to be “almost equal to” the darkness of the control line, do you think CD11 was a possible? My first cycle since coming off the pill at the end of December. Seems like waiting forever for a positive OPK but DTD lots at the moment just in case.

Like there was a faint line

Footballandbear thanks, good tip it wasn't positive but I think I might be about 3 days away but still feel I want to try tonight just in case

@butterflylove81 I bought some preseed a few weeks ago, yet to use it but did a lot of research into the different ones and it seemed to come out one of the best. I ended up buying in Amazon in the end with the subscribe and save it was only about £12

Lucymagoo ive just bought some of these the digitals were annoying me I missed seeing the lines used these the last two pregnancies

The first promising looking opk 😂

I've been quiet the past week or so, not much to report. Been using OPKs for nearly a month now and just got my high test reading yet! Almost a positive but not quite. Feels like things are starting to progress finally, had my withdrawal bleed which was just spotting on Monday. And now this so hopefully will have my first TWW soon 😃

@butterflylove81 I've heard very good things. A few people on threads have said they were trying for ages then got a BFP one month after starting to use it! Let us know how it goes
