Don’t know what I’m doing with the emojis this time!

Who else is on for Jan? When would you be due?

I’m on cycle day 1 boooooo. Due to ovulate 2nd May. I think is due date 24th January.

So I’ll be testing around 15th May

@QuirkyTurtle good luck on testing on Tuesday.
@lyra12 any other symptoms? Definitely sounds like there a good chance of a bfp
@Charl881 you are very organised! I’m still getting through the washing 😩.
@MrsGrealish fingers crossed af doesn’t arrive when your away.

@BiscuitLover3678 did you manage to squeeze in some dtd time?

Looks like I’m ovulating a day or two earlier than I thought. Loads of ewcm last few days and did an sneaky opk last night and it was positive, so guessing I will ovulate today or tomorrow.

@Charl881 good to be over prepared with a wee one! I don't even need to think about OPKs..should be due on when I'm away

QuirkyTurtle · 30/04/2022 20:30

Hi all. First time posting. I have to wait until Tuesday to test at the very earliest. It will be my first pregnancy test ever.

Charl881 · 30/04/2022 20:22

@MrsGrealish @BiscuitLover3678 I’ve got a bit excited and packed already! But at least it’s taken my mind off all things TTC for once. Definitely not packing the OPKs either.

Saw another person I know announce a pregnancy on Facebook tonight though and it was a bit of a kick in the stomach.

I know the time will come for all of us, the waiting just sucks doesn’t it!

lyra12 · 30/04/2022 10:18

7dpo and had a temp spike! I'm so crampy. But maybe I'm imagining it all!

HR2022 · 30/04/2022 09:58

Hi all, hoping to see lots of BFPs this bank holiday weekend for you all! :)

I came off the mini pill on 11th April and still haven't experienced a withdrawal bleed, probably getting my hopes up that this could mean I'm pregnant but also being realistic that I guess not everyone gets one and every body is different.

I did do a test today and BFN, I know this could be too early but thought I'd see...

Fingers crossed for you all 🤞🏼x

MrsGrealish · 29/04/2022 19:44

@Charl881 hope your holiday planning is going well..I'm due to go Sunday week😊

I'm thinking this month isn"t my month either and am totally getting my own back on DH now 'no hun not in the mood' 😂😂

Any luck tonight @MrsGrealish?

I keep feeling like it’s ages until my fertile window but at the same time panicking that I have no time to get anything sorted for my holiday. Time is weird when you’re TTC.

Yes tell us @MrsGrealish and how is holiday prep @Charl881 ?

5dpo... boobs have felt different this eve! Also looks like nipples have gone darker but I don't often look at them so that might not be the case at all 😂😂😂

You never know. Will you test early?

I feel like this is another bad month. 2 year old up until the early hours driving me nuts. Not sure when we’re supposed to DTD. 🙄

Bubblesandballoons · 29/04/2022 08:14

How’s everyone doing? Just catching up now I’m finally back in the cold 🥶, cd11 and into the fertile window, expecting ovulation cd15.
@MrsGrealish love it, hope it worked
@Charl881 sorry af came, but fingers crossed for Jan babies now 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@PinkButtercups congrats on the bfp, this thread is for those trying to conceive if you head over to the pregnancy board there will be a January baby group 😊
@lyra12 ooh sounds promising

Hello.

Got my BFP on Sunday. According to my app I'm due 3rd January but if I have GD like I did with my son induction would be Christmas week xx

Charl881 · 27/04/2022 20:55

MrsGrealish · 27/04/2022 12:28

@Charl881 at this stage a cup and a calpol syringe would be a welcome relief 😂 give it another go tonight🙈

@MrsGrealish I was going to suggest a cup but didn’t know if it was a step too far!

AF has arrived today, thank god!

Fertile week is now due to be basically the whole time we’re on holiday so count down is now on for both. Excited to be able to properly try again this month, although not sure on the logistics of DTD with a toddler in the same room.

You’ll get creative! We actually had this last week and luckily we hadn’t planned too much so whenever ds got a nap in we worked out a way to do it. Holiday will be lovely too. 😎

Laurzz · 27/04/2022 09:01

Me, hopefully 🙏..

I'm currently 9dpo today and will test on Saturday at 12dpo.

Good luck and sending everyone baby dust 💕

Charl881 · 27/04/2022 08:57

@BiscuitLover3678 mine would be 1st Feb so technically Feb but only just.

@MrsGrealish Forgot to say congrats on your promotion! I know you’re probably not fussed about it now but you’ll be pleased of it when you do get pregnant.

Well I’m pretty sure I’ve started fertile week but ds took hours to go to bed and dh was shattered and went to sleep. I was actually up for it after as well!

I feel like we often miss our most fertile day tbh.

what are all your due dates this month? Mines mid Jan and ideally it would be at least a Feb due date.

MrsGrealish · 26/04/2022 21:38

@Charl881 frustration for both of us tonight. Well you'll have to buy more anyways so get the Amazon order in😊 I feel like I'm a bit pissed off with him now but gotta think of the bigger picture here though it pains me to do this. At this stage I would take it in a cup..romantic 😂

Charl881 · 26/04/2022 21:30

@MrsGrealish how frustrating! Could you try again in a bit? CD8 is still in with a good shot though and tomorrow also a really good chance. If your peak was this evening then ovulation likely to be Thursday.

You’re right I think it’s the chemical delaying things, just annoying it’s delaying this part of the cycle rather than the bit I wanted it too. Have got no more pregnancy tests in anyway after my BFN this morning but no doubt I’ll buy more tomorrow if she doesn’t show. Driving me mad though as I had my fertile week all planned out 😂
