TTC January 2024 miracles ✨️ 💖

Hi everyone , lovely to meet you! I’m 12 dpo and got a bfn this morning , hoping to test again tomorrow and trying not to be too upset , photo is mine from this morning

Thank you @BB2023 tested this morning on a boots 5 days early and got a very inconclusive result. Will try a frer tomo with fmu x

Hey and welcome! Fingers crossed for you, let us know if you test x

CD9, I’ve got Ewcm so looking like my cycles have got back on track after CP. hoping I ovulate Friday as expected to get optimum opportunities for DTD

Hello, can I join? Ttc # 2. Af due tomo or next day (I’m not 100% on that) but pretty sure I’m 12dpo and thinking to test today. Anyone else testing today?

3/4dpo ish and I’ve been having niggly little cramps low down near my bikini line all day. Trying not to think too much of it but had similar with my first child and then when I got my pregnant the other month but miscarried. Feels a bit early for it to be implantation though so it’s probably just wind 🙄

I also just got my flashing smiley but it's only CD 8! Seems a bit early 🤔

Flashy face on the ovulation test this morning but loads of EWCM (tmi, sorry). I don’t normally get that until I get the static face. CD12 so I have no idea what’s occurring! 🤔

@buckingmad mine were redic last ov lik so so sore lasted about 3 days too! But then weirdly i got no ov cramps? Anyone doin the smep? Im on cd9 today did cd6 and cd8. Does it get so so tedious? Xx

Don’t think I get sore boobs with ovulation, not that I’ve noticed. Mine normally start about 5dpo

@buckingmad I usually don't get sore boobs at ovulation or with af or anything but did this month with ovulation too weirdly enough! The only time they've ever been sore before was when they were excruciating in the first trimester with my 11mo

Does anyone get sore boobs with ovulation? Toddler has just been climbing all over me and they hurt! Mine normally only hurt as an early pregnancy symptom/AF but I’m 1-2dpo max so absolutely no way can it be either of those possibilities!

I'm going to try hold off as long as I can, I'll probably cave next weekend at 8/9dpo but won't rule myself out and just keep testing lol! 🙈

@Nmmck93 when are you planning on testing?
I’m working all next week and tests aren’t getting delivered until the end of the week so I’m hoping that helps with being patient!

@Dinosaur39 im on 1DPO as of today so 2 days out from you!
hoping this TWW goes quick for all in the TWW. 🙈

Hello ladies,
I’ve been following this thread after I had a miscarriage in February and finally got my period again end of March.
We wasn’t planning on trying until my next cycle but ended up DTD once on peak day. So I guess I’m in my very first TWW!
Not sure my chances are that great considering we only done it once but I suppose that’s all it takes!
Anyone else around 3dpo?

@HavinKittens I definitely prefer the TWW to the time between period and ovulation!

You inspired me to look at mine and we were the same 😂we used to do it the whole fertile week whereas now it's literally the day before ovulation and maybe the day of ovulation if we've had an unusual spurt of energy.

I miss being in the 2ww, as much as I hate it too. Feels like ages until next fertile window cause of my long cycles.

I was just looking back at my charts from first time TTC and we had sex so much more often 😅

@Hankthehonk I tested on Tuesday and had a very faint line like this and it took until today for it to get stronger.

Also Iv been tracking my cycles and using premom and ovulation tests. I got implantation bleeding at 4dpo which was too early turns out I ovulated early. It's crazy how it all works

Thank you everyone I am delighted! Xxx

@HavinKittens yes it's a FRER, zoomed in. This is why I'm not getting excited yet, time will tell! Having patience isn't easy though each day feels so long in the tww

@Hankthehonk hope it’s the start of a line for you, I have had so many indents with First response (not sure if this is what you’re using?) and it can be really frustrating
this was my indent from last cycle

Congratulations @ThomasinaLivesHere and @Babydustthisyear! Also a tentative congratulations to @Hankthehonk - I can definitely see something there!

No news from me really and I’ve been offline for a while as I’m trying to be relaxed this cycle as I was so fed up last cycle. I’m CD11 today and haven’t been doing OPKs, mainly because I didn’t get my peak until CD25 last cycle so it was a long wait!

Thanks everyone! Best of luck to you all!

@Freya8 It’s not uncommon to have more than one surge which isn’t helpful. Apparently you can also get one before your period is due but also if pregnant then you can get false positives on ovulation tests (as hormone for pregnancy can be misread by test). It’s so confusing.

I have a potential due date of 2nd January as well - got this very very faint line that I'm not convinced by this morning at 8dpo. I don't know how people wait to test, you have such willpower! I'm desperate for tomorrow morning's FMU so I can see if there's a better line. I'm definitely not calling this a bfp yet! Could be an evap, or just nothing.

@HavinKittens my did a a new years baby too. She was due 19th December tho.

if I turn out to be pregnant this month I looked and I’d be due 2nd January 😂

waiting to test at the weekend x
