Anyone TTC from Jan 2024?

Any other lurkers out there patiently (or impatiently!) waiting to TTC in the new year?

Anything in particular you're doing to prepare?

@StampOnTheGround 🥳😍 amazing!

@Timeforacutie yes all gone a bit quiet hasn't it, at least we can still keep eachother company! Are you in the TWW now then? 🤞

Hi @skyerojo I had AF come on 17/7 so right behind you , I’m on day 20 now.

🤞🥨 Everything crossed for this cycle :)

Congratulations @StampOnTheGround ! ✨ Hope you have an uneventful 9 months!!

Not many of us left now, @skyerojo , wonder if anyone else will pop in. Enjoy the summer ! ☀️

@skyerojo - first wee of the day and I have my 3+ on a digital!

StampOnTheGround · 29/07/2024 17:30

Only me and my husband know currently - I did another test today (on about my 5th wee of the day, so it wasn't a dye stealer but a strong positive still).

Going to do a digital in the morning and see where I'm at.

How are you doing? 😊

@StampOnTheGround aww this is so cute. Did you get your dye stealer? Hope you've been able to start sharing your lovely news this weekend ☀️

And thank you I really hope so 🤞

StampOnTheGround · 24/07/2024 17:05

Thank you!!! 😬😬

I'm not going to test for a few days, try not to get caught up in staring at the lines wondering if they're darker!

I'm going to tell my husband after the next test and do something cute with my DS to announce to him - see if I can manage to keep my mouth shut. I think I'll be happier after the next test is hopefully a dye stealer and then I can tell him and make it all official (in real life, not just on mumsnet!)

I'm feeling good thank you, a few period type pains which is why I thought AF was coming, I'm really not even sure why I tested haha!

I have everything crossed for you for this cycle, so hopefully you're just behind me 🤞🏻

@StampOnTheGround OMG!! This is great news! Congratulations! Fingers crossed for even darker lines tomorrow 🤞

How are you feeling?

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 24/07/2024 15:14

@skyerojo I've just done a test and there are 2 lines 😳 (naughty as I should have waited a couple of more days!)

I'm in shock - not the darkest of lines and it was an early detection one, so it looks like it was another longer cycle and maybe our last 'go' caught!

This sounds promising @StampOnTheGround, I hope you make it safely past CD33 🤞🤞 keep me updated!

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 23/07/2024 10:26

Ahh that wicked witch, sorry she made an appearance! 😩 but it is better than being in limbo and I have everything crossed that this month is your month.

CD32, I would test in a couple of days if she doesn't appear (although I am starting to get all the signs she's coming!)

My cycles are either 33 days or the next longest is 29, so I'll expect her to appear on Thursday making me CD1 again then - but for now we wait!

Great news it's not arrived yet @StampOnTheGround, loads of people get no early symptoms! Still have my fingers crossed for you.

My daydream ended abruptly yesterday 😔 AF arrived CD28 so my shortest cycle yet. Really painful too! The witch 😆

I was upset again to be honest, which I know is silly this early. But at least means can focus on another chance to try rather than being in limbo. Trying to remain hopeful.

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 22/07/2024 08:39

So so long @skyerojo - nothing to report here, CD31 and no period but also definitely do not feel pregnancy, another long cycle by the looks of it which is abnormal!

How are you getting on?

skyerojo · 20/07/2024 22:43

This has felt like a loooong two weeks! How are you getting on @StampOnTheGround?

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 17/07/2024 09:21

@skyerojo - yes we are in this together!!

Yes cycle number 2 over here as well (although because it was a long cycle last month, I didn't actually have sex when I needed to - so it is my second cycle but I didn't actually give myself a chance! 😂)

Haha I get that, I think I'd convinced myself of a couple of symptoms but this morning I'm convinced that my period is coming in the next couple of days.

I think I'm feeling the same, but you never know - keep our fingers crossed! 😊

skyerojo · 16/07/2024 14:41

Hey @StampOnTheGround I'm also CD24, at least we're in this together! This is your second month too right?

If I'm honest, still nothing to report. Depending on my mood I can convince myself of a few symptoms but so minor and probably normal cycle stuff. Boring 😆

What about you? We both thought this might be one of our shorter ones right, so you noticing anything promising whilst on the final stretch? I'm due AF this weekend I reckon.

Not to be doom & gloom but I'm just not feeling jt this month. Would love to be proved wrong obviously, but for now assuming not my month and any other outcome would be a lovely surprise!

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 15/07/2024 22:42

@skyerojo - definitely a good idea!

CD24 here and no idea how I'm feeling haha, why do early pregnancy symptoms and about to come on your period symptoms have to be so similar? So annoying 😂

How are you doing?

Original poster
skyerojo · 13/07/2024 14:22

@StampOnTheGround yes same I'd wait quite a long time after late period just to feel confident enough that it might really be positive! And also because of chance of it being one of my rouge longer ones etc.

How are you feeling? I'd guess myself around 6dpo right now and nothing to report really

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 11/07/2024 10:19

@skyerojo yes definitely! This is feeling like the slowest cycle ever. Hopefully yours is settling at 28/29 days, when do you think you would test if it got that far this month?

I think I'd still do CD34 because of my couple of 33 day cycles, they tend to be every few months though, so I'd be surprised if it was that long again but you never know!

Mild optimism sounds good to me 🤞🏻

skyerojo · 08/07/2024 17:22

Ok great @StampOnTheGround well at least we can keep eachother company! I'm CD16, and if I had to guess I'd say this is going to be one of my shorter ones again, going to guess myself as maybe 1DPO today?!

Wonder if actually this is finally my cycle settling after the pill, noticing it's been coming down by a day most months since January. Settling at round 28/29 days would be fine with me though, so can it stop there now please 😆

Feeling it would be very unlikely for us this month if I'm realistic, but you never know! Think this will be two weeks of mild optimism...

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 08/07/2024 15:41

Hey @skyerojo - I have absolutely no idea really 😂 I guess I'll find out when my period comes or if it doesn't, but let's see.

I'm currently CD17, so early part of the TWW - but I will try and have sex a couple more times in case it's one of my 33 day cycles again (which is unlikely but I'll rather cover myself which I didn't do last month!)

What day are you on now?

Nice and relaxed is definitely the best way! 😊

skyerojo · 08/07/2024 15:09

Hey @StampOnTheGround how are you getting on, you now in the TWW?

Did you end up ovulating early? Hope you were still able to get your timings right? Not sure we have this month but oh well it's been nice and relaxed at least!

Ahh that sounds great @WonderingAboutBabies so pleased for you 🥰

WonderingAboutBabies · 02/07/2024 18:58

Hi @skyerojo thank you for asking! 😊 hopefully everything lines up for you this month!

I'm now 13 weeks and feeling really good! Most of my symptoms have gone, just got an achey back and a growing bump! Still feels very surreal and I don't believe it most of the time 😅😅

skyerojo · 01/07/2024 21:15

Ahh I'm so glad @StampOnTheGround, the perfect distraction! And sounds like you've got a good action plan coming up 😆

On reflection I was actually really disappointed last month as definitely felt in with a chance BUT genuinely feel bit excited at chance to try again.

I don't think I'll track anything but like you I'll probably vaguely spot the signs anyway! Hoping things will line up ok for us this cycle, as quite busy this week and next... 🤞

How are you getting on @WonderingAboutBabies? How are you feeling these days?

OP posts:
StampOnTheGround · 01/07/2024 20:40

How are you doing @skyerojo?

The hen do was great, it definitely wouldn't have been the same experience if I had been pregnant.

Hope you've been enjoying the things we'll miss out on when we are pregnant!

I think this month will be one of my shorter cycles, I'm currently CD10 and noticing signs of impending ovulation since yesterday. Hoping to do it daily or every other day over the next few days - with a couple of extra ones really late incase I'm completely off and it's a long cycle again!
