TTC FOR JANUARY

ill tell you all right now I’m bloody sick of the sight of my husband this week and he’s feeling the same 🤣 can’t wait until ovulation is past so we can not touch each other for AT LEAST a week hahahah

Parking the bus here. Have an 18 month old that is still bfing at night so cycles are still a bit funny but getting there. AF due today but no sign and pregnancy test negative, so no idea what is going on there??
started tracking BBT this week and it’s been trending upwards so thought we might be in with a shot this month! Not feeling too pressured yet and still feeling very relaxed about it all (DC1 was conceived first cycle 😱)

@UnderstatedElegance thank you x

@LuceNumberTwo thank you. Youre not out until AF arrives!

i swear ive had implantation cramps and way more discharge then normal this soon before my period but im only 5dpo so must just be gas

@Pappychi I'm sorry to hear af has arrived this month :(
@siobhanmt247 I'm sorry to hear your mum has passed away, I always find the loss of someone I love and the new year really makes me reflect on life and death. Good luck on your ttc journey

Did NOT hold till Monday 🤣

Just realised you can edit these posts 🤦‍♀️

OK someone stop or help me now.. I think I've lost it. I've just taken a cheapie.. its BFN.. of course!!! Why would it not be. Then it's like I lose all confidence 🙈🙈 whyyyyy do I do it!

So no.. I did hold till Monday but I actually will now promise 😭

Hi to everyone else!
Sorry to hear that @Pappychi.. So disheartening isn't it 😕🙁 hope you get that BFP soon 🤞🤞

@siobhanmt247 I'm.so sorry to hear about your mum💔 hopefully you fall quite quickly 🤞

Afternoon all. Can i join please?
im 37, trying for number 2. My little one is 13 months. We weren’t going to try yet as i dont think im entitled to the enhanced maternity pay from work but my mum passed away last month and i just seem to want to try now. Im tracking bbt with my watch to get ovulation dates but im really not sure how accurate it is

@Pappychi ahh im sorry its so disapointing!! Hopefully next month will have a better outcome x

@LuceNumberTwo omg the tiktoks!! I feel like the tiktoks are mostly related to people doing IVF thats what comes up on my page! My brain literally doesnt understand if you have sex when ovulating why do you not fall 🤣🤣🤣. It seems so simple yet such a small chance of it actuallt happening. As the days go on im getting more in my head about it, I need to just chill. Also the last tww felt completely different to this one so can never actually tell I dont think. Nearly one week down though so only one to go 🙂. Are you holding out until monday X

I’m out this month.

AF arrived five days early and with a vengeance.

Baby dust to everyone else!

@ttcbabyno1x im the same just wait! My period due 12-14th January I think. Wish our bodies were easier to read lol

*cycle day 18 sorry and feel ill with a virus.

@Newmumwales Just gonna wait and see if my period arrives! So annoying isn’t it!

@ttcbabyno1x im the same hun, I’ve no idea where I am. I just know I’m cycle day 17. One app says I’m 6DPO 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Had headaches all week, struggling to sleep, so anxious (heart racing), feeling sick, weeing loads

Have no idea if these are symptoms or I’m just falling apart at the seams 🤣 I’m only 5dpo and apparently my period is due in 4 days cause I’ve had messed up cycles so I feel like I’ve got no idea where I’m up to!

@LuceNumberTwo i feel different that usually my boobs are sore and they’re not lol 😂 im sat with my oodie on too and you know when you sit here and feel every little movement in your womb 🤣🤣 that’s me sat here today feeling twinges but then im like stop you crazy woman!!! This is only our first cycle and we only DTD once so im not hopeful! I saw your on a TTC journey of a year. I really prey for you. If I go by my darkest test I’m 6DPO too so we can keep each other company until AF or hopefully NOT AF lol

Hi all,

Popping back in after the Christmas rush! I'm now two days late for my period. I am getting very very faint positives on the cheap tests I have... I'd love for this to stick but having had a chemical before I my hopes are about as grounded as they could be!

I have read that the particular brand I have can be quite faint and lots of reviews saying they're not good for tracking progression. I think I will wait to see what happens this week and get a Clear Blue at the weekend.

Not quite how I imagined this all going! 😞

@H938 Yes I do, but I'm also slightly mental when it comes to pregnancy so any wee slight difference I'm like are you in there fetus 👀👀 🤣
Oh yeah don't waste that! They aren't cheap either, I see these girls on tik tok who literally take them daily, like as part of early testing too.. Don't get me wrong I'm so so eager to be pregnant but at £20 a pop, I usually don't get the digital until I see a line on a cheapie.. I so hope Monday I'm back here telling you all, I'm honestly so desperate 😭 going on a year pretty soon that we've tried. But I have fell so I take that as a pro.. That sounds like a good plan to follow, if I don't fall this month I'm thinking of trying the temping thing, it just confuses my small brain 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Newmumwales ahh I see you temp! So is it just a stick it up there & record temp? A big dip.means ovulation basically? Looks very complicated but it's probably not!
Hope you are feeling better soon & maybe these are signs. If not atleast you'll be aware of what you've to do next cycle.. So long and frustrating..
I'm 7/8 dpo today, ive actually taken a bit of a mental health dive early this morning & took my dog on a 3 mile walk. So now I'm on the couch with my duvet & fluffy oodie on 🥰🤣

So I think I ovulated cycle day 12? I DTD cycle day 11 night. Today I’ve got loads of watery CM I’m very wet (TMI sorry) and I’m ill so that would maybe explain the rise in BBT this morning.

@LuceNumberTwo do you feel different this month? Isnt it hard trying not to think everything is a sign 😂. I feel fine other than that, im trying my hardest not to overthink the tiny things and im doing quite well. Deffo holding out on the testing. Im hoping you will come with the good news on Monday 🤞🏼 and then il only have two more days to wait. I only have a digital one at home so dont want to waste it. Also ive scared myself by googling how long it takes people to get pregnant and it says average is a year!!! But also I read loads of women fell sucessfully using the SMEP although I think my timing was quite good this month im 99% sure we dtd the morning and I ovulated that day so surely thats the sperm meeting the egg bit 🤣 X

@LuceNumberTwo we only DTD once on cycle day 11 night before my test went dark. Next cycle I will be trying though and have DP on board. I’ve been so ill since New Year’s Eve. My BBT sky rocketed this morning to its highest. Where are you now in your cycle? My DD doesn’t start back to school until the 9th 🙈

@H938 Ohhhh! I take these but I've been fine with them so far.. Maybe it's a sign for you? I have been feeling a bit sick & yuck, also my body is aching, & boobs have like a burning feeling when I have my bra off, & cramps to top it all off 🤣 do love a symptom spot!!
Are you still holding out on testing? How are you feeling other than the sickness x

@Newmumwales Hahaha! Oh god I'm honestly terrible, I just rattle on sometimes. I though my DD went back to school today but it's tomorrow... Head up arse!.
Your ovulation tests look dark? Having you been baby dancing still? X

Random question, I take seven seas vitamins and vit C. This week they have made me feel so sick. Has anyone else had this? I have taken them before with baby number 2 although I do remember I had to stop when pregnant as they were making me throw up 🤮

@starryx hmm it was light watery pink the other day and now it's brown when I wipe with some stringy bits. I don't think I ovulated this cycle :( and I don't think it would be implantation bleeding as I DTD 26th, 27th, 28th and 31st. So too early surely. Also I'd be floored if I was lucky enough to be pregnant in month 1 so not expecting that at all x
