TTC January ✨

I'm 12/13 dpo I think.

Ah that's ok 😊 I'm at peace with it. My time will come 😊

@ttcttc that's exciting! Let me know how you get on. Do you know how many DPO you are now?
Sorry to hear about your previous mc by the way 😞

Yea done another yest which was darker and two today that was lighter but there again.
I'm going to grab some better tests

Hey @ttcttc it's hard to tell - did you manage to do another test this morning?

Been following for a while.

We've decided to do an all inclusive 5* hol in April so my plan was when my period came on Tuesday I'd start taking the pill again for a couple of months so I could enjoy the luxury hol. I miscarried in December.

Took a test this morning. Now not so sure period will come. Or is it a evap?

Thanks @Morticia31
Good luck to you, hoping this is the cycle for you xx

@Betsy21 thank you! I feel like there's so many hurdles to get over before I can sort of relax. And you're right - we become so obsessive. I know it's not helpful but can't stop it anyway.

Ahh let me know how you get on. I've got everything crossed for you!

Oh I can't imagine how you feel! Hoping you get the best outcome 🙏 yeah you'd think because it's two lines that'd be enough but I think we become obsessive. Yeah im ok thanks, I'm CD11 so just started tracking OPKs from yesterday. Hoping this will be the month for us 🙂

Hey @Betsy21 thanks for checking in.. I am doing OK. Driving myself crazy with anxiety. I don't have any symptoms and I made the mistake of doing another test - the line wasn't as dark as I'd have liked to see. So I'm convinced this isn't going to stick 😬 😞

With DD, I only tested once and that was it. I didn't even know that people tested for line progression then. Still, I'm only 4+3 so it's very early days.
How are you? Where are you in your cycle now?

Hey @afiafinethingindeed how you getting on? X

Hey, jumping on board.
Age 35, TTC #2 Cycle #4
I'm on CD17. Think I am 2DPO.I have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. My app says I'm not due to ovulate until this Sat 4th. But from my symptoms I'm pretty sure I ovulated 2 days ago. Pain in tummy, EWCM etc ... I don't do OPKs or temps etc ... were just going with a very relaxed approach atm. DTD throughout the month and hoping it will catch at some point.This worked for conceiving DS who is now nearly 3. We have decided this is our last month TTC for now. (Other commitments throughout Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb) If doesn't work will start TTC again in July time but then with the OPKs etc...Good luck everyone 🤞 xx

Thanks @Morticia31 - me too! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊 and thank you @ttcttc for your comment, that’s really encouraging to hear. Sorry about MC, that must’ve been really difficult. Sending hugs and good (BFP inducing) vibes! xxx

I’ve just had some confusing texts and results from my doctors this morning about my blood test/ scan showing “suggestive PCOS”. Feeling anxious and overwhelmed and abit frustrated as she has been abit crap before so I’ve booked in for my results with a different GP this afternoon to talk through them. I did get a flashing smiley face on my OPK this morning though so that’s some good news I guess and something to stop me worrying/ spiralling!! Hope everyone has a nice day xxx

Your situation is similar to mine.

I was on the pill (cerazette, cerelle, destrogel) for 12 years. I stopped taking it not long after I turned 31 in September gone. Didn't have sex during my October cycle (wasn't well) and conceived November. I did Mc but unrelated to age etc.

Good luck x

Me 😂😂 I'm only 3dpo and can't handle this waiting 🙈

This deffo looks like a positive to me! No doubt about it!!

Hi ladies hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread…
I started TTC from the first of January too. I was on birth control pills and stopped my last one on NYE at the end of the pack. I don’t really know what DPO I am as I haven’t tracked my ovulation with any sticks only my period app which I hear is not that reliable. My period is due tomorrow and so far no signs of it. I had some light pink spotting 2 days ago and thought it was my period starting early but nothing since. I have taken two cheap tests and I swear I see a faint line on them. I just did another cheap one now and it’s negative. I am going crazy!! I am thinking maybe my period is just adjusting to being off birth control. I was only only it for about 6 months prior to that I had a copper IUD and I’ve been very regular for years. I’ve attached some pics of my tests let me know what you think!! Baby dust to you all!

I am loosing the plot.. Anyone else😂

Hi all! Hope it's okay to join? 😄I have been lurking on these threads trying to suss out what I am doing/not doing!!

A bit about me; I am 31, TTC #1. Currently on CD12 and testing using CB OPK's (cheap ones I used for months and sent me crazy) each day since CD9 - sounds super early but I have had spotting a week after coming off which one nurse said could be a sign of ovulation so I have obviously just run with that haha.

I have been on the mini pill/cerazette for 12 years and came off last March, me and DP weren't properly trying but we also weren't being careful and had the 'if it happens, it happens' approach. Last month we had the chat to start trying properly so I've been for blood tests and a ultrasound as since coming off the pill I have been irregular so wasn't sure if it was masking something else and wanted to get it checked out before TTC properly. I've got Flo, my fitbit app also tracks my cycle (I take the apps with a pinch of salt though- anyone else find them slightly conflicting?!), taking folic acid, vit b12 and vit D. Using CB tests (I got them on offer on amazon!) now everyday for 20 days to try and find when in my irregular cycle I ovulate so I can get to it!

DP seems to think it will be super easy and will happen first cycle of TTC but I am trying to not spiral and run away with that as I know it can be disappointing etc.

Sorry for the long post - hope you are all having a nice day and there are some more BFP's soon 🤗xx

@afafinethingindeed get yourself some CB today if you can 😁

Oh this definitely looks like a BFP to me, congrats 😆x

The line is more visible today...10 DPO so very early but I feel like it's definitely a line?! Might buy some CB tests for the weekend.

Ah thank you that gives me hope! Haha of course😂
Honestly, if its all in my head i must be mad. Feel sick this evening, back aching, had cramps a few days ago and tightenings but thats calmed down now. Then the brown discharge when wiping earlier!

This is so hard x
