January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

@CaliGirl47sorry to hear about your mmc, that line looks positive to me...fingers crossed it sticks 🤞🏼 Test again in a couple of days and it should be a lot more visible 😊

Hello all. First time posting here, but I’m a serial MN lurker 😂🤭 I’m so sorry to hear of so many chemical pregnancies. 😔 I had a mmc in November at 10 weeks and have been cautiously ttc after my first AF returned. My AF is due on Saturday the 14th. We only managed to dtd once during fertile window because of an awful flu. So I thought surely I’d be out this cycle. But I had some strange really painful cramping sensations yesterday. So I randomly decided to use one of my Poundland cheapie strips and POAS this morning, fully expecting a BFN but now I’m so confused. Does this look positive or like an evap line? This was SMU today. I’m planning on getting some clear blue tests tomorrow that I’d ordered online for next cycle. I just don’t know what to think. I’m a bit scared and freaked out tbh.

Pretty sure af will be here by the weekend
I am so gutted this month more than usual
I was sure it had worked
On to another month I guess

I'm so sorry. I really hope the line darkens for you. Such a stressful time x

Took your advice so we've had 4 chances this month - 3 days before, day before, surge day and day after - quite a lot for us, DH is knackered 🤭 fingers crossed.

I've always counted 1dpo as the day after the surge so yesterday for me - is this what you are all doing as well? Had a thought that 12-36 means I could be counting 1dpo when it's actually O day - how much does this matter? I guess there's no way to tell so really just asking what the norm is.

@justwantobeamum I don't quite know what to say apart from I'm sorry, I'm hoping that maybe if you do another test later or in a couple of days there may be another line. I've seen some women's test be stronger in the aft/eve compared to the next days fmu. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

well about 12-13dpo for me and looks like another chemical. Had vvv faint lines on frer Monday Tuesday then v faint ic yesterday afternoon so I thought if it is something an IC should give me a decent line today but nope. So doesn’t look good 😢

I ovulated early this month, CD12.
due AF 22nd January. Currently 5DPO, ignoring everything up to now. Really going to try hard not to symptom spot if I can help it and not to test early.

Also in the TWW, ovulated early this month on CD13, and it's usually CD17 ir 18 like clockwork so I'm trying to hold off testing. My LP is usually 10 / 11 days but it's either going to be longer this month, or AF will arrive early. Or I'll get a BFP, but I'm not holding my breath, especially as this is only month 1 of officially TTC. I don't know whether to test 10DPO as that would be my usual LP length or wait until day 28 of my cycle. WWYD?

@Laul89 I'm pretty much exactly the same, planning to test middle of next week then again at the weekend if no AF

Time is dragging! I've got really sore boobs but think some of that could be in my head, or something I have other months but pay no attention to

@Laul89 I’m the opposite- I ovulated a bit late for me this month so I’m going to be pushing it as I’m due next Tuesday. So my luteal phase is only 11 days this month, unless my cycle is a bit longer than usual.

@Babydustthisyear yeah I’m the same trying not to think of it and busy myself with other things. Also trying so hard not to symptom spot as I drive myself crazy!!

Thanks so much, same back to you 🤞🏼✨

@Laul89 I am dreading the wait too, trying to make sure I am really busy so it goes fast, I won't be testing until 29th that's when AF is due, best of luck to you 💕💕

Hi ladies.. hope you are all well.. seems a few of us are in the TWW now - although for me it’s more of a 2.5 week wait as I am now 7DPO (only according to app) and AF is due next Thursday the 19th.. however I’m going to try and hold off testing till Sunday 22nd as my cycles range from 30-33 days. And after my chemical I just can’t bare the disappointment of starting to bleed again when AF is due 😫 time is just dragging & dragging 🥺

It's going to take a lot of self-control! 😂

@northernmam I bought some from Boots earlier today, so the temptation is definitely going to be there!!

@log51 I was hoping to hold out until 20th as my period is due 21st. I've ordered some tests and they've arrived today, so I'm putting them out of the way until at least Monday/Tuesday next week xx

@northernmam I am going to try and hold out until the 19th! What about you?

@Yolo23 sorry to hear that. fingers crossed this is our month! It's frustrating for me as my cycles are long (had both blood tests and scan and it's not PCOS apparently) so last cycle I didn't ovulate until CD40 and this time was CD30. If AF comes, hopefully the next one will be shorter!

Hey ladies I realise I may sound crazy but just wondering if anyone has ever heard or experienced this, we are ttc this month, ovulation is due tomorrow we have DTD a few times but today, day before ovulation I feel really nauseous and funny taste in my mouth, I realise these are symptoms of pregnancy but I haven't even ovulated yet, the nausea and taste are strong I googled it and said it can happen during ovulation but has never happened to me before. I stopped any birth control 3YEARS ago so no changes in hormones 🙈🙈

@log51 I had a chemical the month before last. Praying it sticks too…. Such a weird experience and range of emotion!

I’m currently 4DPO so fairly similar xx

Aw will keep everything crossed for you! When are you planning to test?

@northernmam hi - i am 5DPO too!! Had a chemical last cycle so really hoping this month will be the month and it sticks, fingers crossed!

I'm 5DPO and feel exactly the same!

6DPO today according to my app. Time is standing still!!

There's still hope then @2021lady ! Unfortunately I do think that test looks negative, but 9dpo is still so early.

I've literally just had some brown cm when wiping, so now frantically googling all about that. I never usually spot or anything before AF and it usually starts up bright red so.... Something else to get wound up about during the long wait 😬
