@skyerojo thank you! You too!!

@LuceNumberTwo TWINS. Just imagine that, although it would be amazing!! I have a few friends who have had twins. Love the idea of it 😂. Are you gonna go everyday from today to end of the month haha!! Im hoping were not all in a Feb group!! Xx

@Christmasfairy34 Do you track ovulation? Im usually every 26 days- this month I tracked ovulation and ovulated late, I was then 6 days late coming on! X

Christmasfairy34 · 18/12/2023 19:02

Can I ask everyone a question?
So my AF is now almost 5 days late. I've been like clockwork since coming off the pill 6 months ago. Of course I've been testing for over a week BFN :( and nothing. I just want AF to come already so I can try again. Has this happened to anyone. I've been crampy for 2 weeks on and off but just no sign of AF

LuceNumberTwo · 18/12/2023 18:23

@H938 Hey again! 👋 hope your OK hun! Maybe you & partner can sneak away for some cheeky Christmas day fun? 🤣🤣 although I don't think it has to be every day, just a few days before/after. But I know there's better chances on the actual day

Apparently I'll ovulate around the 28th, we are starting trying from today though 🙈🤷‍♀️ I keep seeing loads of signs about twin boys 🤣 I don't usually believe in things like that but it's so weird. We are really trying this month because I've had a break! 🤞 Still waiting for my appointments to come through but think it will be after new year now 😊
Good luck everyone 💖

✋️ I'm out for Dec, just waiting to finish so I can start again! Jan is my bday month. I hope I have a positive present for myself ❤️

@Chocpot1986 Sorry to hear that, that's disappointing :(

Aw thank you! I was shocked an evap line could do me dirty like that! X

skyerojo · 18/12/2023 15:59

@H938 me neither, it's been eye opening that's for sure! Ahh so you're a seasoned pro at this 😄 sorry to hear about your miscarriages, really hope it's a quick & smooth journey for you this time

H938 · 18/12/2023 11:54

@skyerojo I never knew any of this before joining on here - who knew there was so much to it 😂

Im trying for no3 - i have always fallen straight away(a couple of misscarriages in between and another after baby no 2) so I was sort of expecting first month to work, dont want to put pressure on it either. Baby no1 is so exciting!! Well they are all exciting. X

skyerojo · 18/12/2023 10:55

@H938 that's interesting, so even if you ovulated later than you expected your AF moved back too to give a long enough luteal phase. If you have the same again we'll be cycle buddies 😄 mine are quite long at around 32 days, and think I ovulate around day 17.

I don't track anything properly, no. We've agreed to stop preventing but not proactively try if that makes sense. For the first few months anyway. We're not in too much of a hurry and probably need to get our heads around it a bit first anyway! I do use Flo app though so can't help but vaguely track where I am, plus do notice ewcm etc. Have learnt a lot from Mumsnet while I've been prepping!

Will this be number 1 for you too? Excited about the journey?

H938 · 18/12/2023 10:36

@skyerojo Lets hope so!! Last month was my first month tracking ovulation which should have been around day 11/12 got a peak but I think the egg didnt release, I ovulated late at day 17 of a 26 day cylce - then came on late so Cycle was 32 days. Atleast I learnt some new stuff 😂. This month I would think im due to ovulate again day 12 ish which is literally Christmas day. Going to keep testing ovulation from tomorrow onwards. Are you using ovulation tests? Xx

Noisinmaro · 18/12/2023 10:26

The Clearblue 4 or more , digital test does reset 2 days after I got the smiley face so can be reused with remaining sticks....
Sorry for the confusion...

Firsttimerr95 · 18/12/2023 10:02

@Chocpot1986 Sorry to hear that, that's disappointing :(

skyerojo · 17/12/2023 21:44

Hello, joining this thread as getting ready to TTC #1, poss from this cycle if feeling brave enough.

@H938 we should be similar, though I'll be ovulating closer to New Year's Eve - party babies?!

H938 · 17/12/2023 19:08

Joining on from Dec… second month ttc now. Going to try to chill out more this month - also going to still enjoy Christmas and have a drink and just go with the flow (easier said than done). I think I will ovulate Christmas day/ just after 😲 not ideal haha! Good luck everyone xx

Chocpot1986 · 17/12/2023 18:33

Did another test today and it was BFN. No hint of a line so I guess the previous test was an evap line? Their very cruel things arn’t they 😢

Firsttimerr95 · 17/12/2023 16:15

@starryx I usually get that at the tail end of my period so sounds like that. I don't usually get it mid cycle but I'm not 100% x

starryx · 17/12/2023 09:51

starryx · 16/12/2023 21:32

Third day after period and I noticed I have light pink in my discharge???
Did feel minor cramps earlier and hormones seemed to be kicking up
Thinking if this is delayed tiny bit of blood or maybe early ovulation?

Any thoughts?
As I have light pink discharge again this morning

@Chocpot1986 I see a line! Test again tomorrow and let us know how you get on 🤞

Swirls346 · 16/12/2023 22:38

Period has arrived for me today so will be joining here!

FantasticalCat · 16/12/2023 21:55

Hi everyone, I’m on the December thread and flying a bit blind due to PCOS!

Been DTD every other day-ish since CD14, it’s now CD28 and I’ve had zero pregnancy symptoms so I thought I’d jump on the Jan thread early.

Wishing you all the best of luck ladies x

Chocpot1986 · 16/12/2023 21:41

elleaddams · 16/12/2023 21:39

Oooo I see a line!! Take a test first thing in the morning

I'm 10DPO tomorrow and have some early tests to take in the morning. I am really emotional which is unlike me, have cramping like a stitch feeling which I've never had before and sore boobs. I'm either pregnant or about to have a wild ride of PMS

I have exactly the same! Let me know how you get on? I’ll update too x wishing you luck x

elleaddams · 16/12/2023 21:39

Chocpot1986 · 16/12/2023 21:32
