TTC FOR JANUARY

I use the clue app, does anyone else? Vs never used Flo. I've never tracked my ovulation with sticks but think I will start. DC1 was a happy accident.

@SlinkMcSlink I’m CD6 today, Flo is predicting my ovulation to be on the 5th.

My cycles are a bit all over the place, the last one was 30 days, the one before 23 (!!), and the one before that 29 days. Every 3/4 months I get a random really short cycle, my average is 27 days according to Flo.

@LuceNumberTwo the smiley face shoukd stay now for 48 hours. My strip tests never read high on the premom app even when ive had a peak on clearblue 🫤

@PeekABoo22 I have been drinking but I probs wont now as dont plan on going out anywhere for the next couple of weeks but also dont think it makes much of a difference! X

Yes, that’s right. Once you get a static, don’t test again. It will give you confusing results as it’s not designed to be used again until the following month.

I’m 6dpo and know I will be testing tomorrow morning despite that being ridiculous! I did get a positive 8dpo and 9dpo with my other two, but I wouldn’t have at 7 and know how unlikely that is.

im feeling very nervous about the coming days and testing. I won’t be deeply disappointed if it’s negative as this is the first month, but i still feel nervous!

I also feel funny in myself. Really achey around front low abdominal and back, such strong breastfeeding aversion and sensitive boobs, so it’s hard not to symptoms spot!

Hi ladies, first proper month TTC number 2.
im 40. I’ve just entered my high fertility and peak is apparently from tomorrow. We’ve got our DC5 with us so it’s proven hard so far to DTD. We tried earlier when she was starting to nap but failed as she woke up 😂 hopefully she settles early tonight and we can try. Will be a September baby ladies if we get BFP!!!!

Also just curious, should I be avoiding drink when ttc? I was planning to drink as normal around New Year 🫣

Hi, I'd like to join please!

First month TTC with deeply infiltrating endometriosis. Flo app says I ovulate from 31st Dec to Jan 6th... don't think it's very accurate but hey ho!

Wishing you all luck :) x

Hi everyone moving over from (mostly silently) following the December threat now I'm into next cycle. Am due to ovulate over the weekend when we are staying with my brother in law and family..... not sure how I'm going to manage testing/DTD whilst we are there 🤦🏽‍♀️
Also got my first gynae appointment tomorrow after potential burst cyst last cycle and slightly terrified!

Yeah I'm definitely going to try holding off. I won't say I will be able to completely but we shall see 🤣🤣
Also with the clearblue digital ovu after you've had the static is that it? Like you don't have to test again? It's the 4 day one & this is the first of me using it!
To be fair I've fell pregnant both drinking & not drinking, but I prefer not. I really knocked myself with processco on my works Xmas party 🙈🙈 x

I don't usually get the opportunity to drink, but had couples glasses wine for Christmas Day as sister in law literally forcing me even though I kept saying No thank you, I'm fine and trying not to drink the wine in the glass....as I'm just not in the mood or bothered about drink. Anyways probably won't drink much until I test or get AF,who knows , I've no feeling towards either.....

@H938 I was just going to ask that. Are people still drinking or not risking it?

@LuceNumberTwo just keep busy and try and hold out. I reckon I am ovulating today/tomorrow (not that I know but been a bit crampy) so going to keep dtd for a week and hope for the best! Been taking my vitamins so not much more I can do 🫠. I have actually drunk all over Christmas but I will probs not drink now too x

@H938 ohh! Should I try to hold off? I don't know what to do.. I really wish I could wait the 2 weeks after missing a period, but it's so difficult 🤣🤣
Nah we don't do much for new year either. I'm not drinking, really put myself off alcohol the other week! Usually asleep before midnight 🤣🤦‍♀️

@starryx You know something I really bloody hope so for you hun 🤞🤞 I also actually feel something for this month too, I also keep having things about twins pop up, dreams, etc 🙈 I'd love twins! I'd love anything but I've always loved the thought of twinnies! 💖

@starryx fingers crossed for you!! Hope you get youe BFP. Will you hold out for the two weeks?

@LuceNumberTwo im deffo not testing - I have only got a digital so I would need to wait until im late to even use it. Im due on 10th so you will be testing before me!! No plans for NYE what about you? I dont love it, I never make it to midnight 😂. X

Hi jumping on, first cycle actively ttc baby no 2!

Me too!!! Last one was 31 days. When do you normally ovulate? X

@SlinkMcSlink I'm the same but my cycles are 30 - 32 days long, not the standard 28!

Im on CD 5…..at least AF is ending!! Anyone else around the same?

Joining this thread! Trying for number 2! We are only just starting our TTC journey! 🙏🤞

@H938 I was actually just typing out a message to you!! Was wondering if you got your Static! Eeeek! That's exciting, my thoughts is to try wait it out until the 8th.. I have no tests in the house, do you have any? When is AF due for you? Mines is the 8th
So hoping it goes quickly🤞🤞🤞
How are you doing? Hope you've enjoyed Christmas! Any plans for new year?

Anyone else around the same dates etc? Hope everyone's doing OK 💖

@LuceNumberTwo ohh just got my static smiley. So this month we are the same!! Hopefully we can hold out the testing together too x

@SlinkMcSlink it really is! I'm just glad I saw a junior doctor because not one single person mentioned it in 6 years... although my poor sister went to the Drs again as a teen and she has mentioned about my PCOS and said she thought she had it - they told her she was too young (she was 18) she kept going, kept saying the same thing and she developed diabetes from it because she's got insulin resistant PCOS and she's quite bad with the symptoms - worse than me 😞
