Anyone in TWW? Or TTC in January 2024?

@HolyMoly24 thanks for the reply! im 2 days late on a 28 day cycle. my clearblue after this one was negative x

Congrats @Wonderpants3 I second the vitamin c - I took that when before I conceived my boys. Swear by it. No harm for the immune system either.

Looks pretty positive to me. Do you know how many dpo you are?

i have no idea where to post this i’ve never used this before, i have a 3 year old and had a miscarriage last april, ive done two tests today, after midday, This was my first one and then i tested with clearblue 2 hours later which was negative. is this positive or an evap line?! sorry if this is the wrong place, Thanks in advance

Got my BFP in writing today, along with my line progression from 8DPO/Friday night then AM/PM the last few days. It was our 4th cycle TTC #2 with a CP in the middle.

Only thing I did differently this month was take VitC every morning. I’ve read that can help with a short Luteal Phase, I also took last week off work and had such a chilled week so not sure if that helped. Keeping everything crossed for loads more BFP this month & loads of baby dust!

Hi all,

Just joining in this thread as in same position. TTC baby 2.
First cycle, think I'm 3DPO and already googling every possible symptom ha ha.
Fingers crossed for everyone

Don't lose hope, the losses just add to the terrible stress TTC brings. Just keep remembering you aren't out until AF comes and I really believe its just luck when baby sticks because when we did conceive I didn't do anything different to before. I've had a terrible time of it too but keep the faith.

Just a note, my partner and I had COVID jab in Oct and we both got COVID in Nov. So Oct-Dec my cycles were weird, late ovulation and painful periods etc. we are both taking prenatals and supplements, hoping we can catch in the next few months

Thanks @MrsP20202 and @VolkswagenxLou. I am already counting myself out 😂

I had my 3rd MC in Aug, and took few months to run tests with recurrent MC clinic, and get myself ready mentally. It hit me hard. And then just my luck, when I felt ready and actually a bit worried that I missed my boat (due to extremely low AMH) covid jabs and COVID itself messed with my cycles (and probably more importantly sperm).

I hope the next few months something happens as I have a new protocol for MC, just to see if that can make a difference. If I don't get pregnant, I will start IVF, as I'm running out of time... So I have a plan of some sort, not sure if any of it makes any difference.

Long story short, I feel quite sad about AMH, but I have to stay positive and keep trying. I hate the tww though, no matter what I say to myself, I end up testing early and hoping and wishing.

@TrainIsMoving dont count yourself out I just "knew" I was pregnant with my little boy but kept getting BFN until 13dpo x

@MrsRandallFraser So I’ve tried to use my app only this month which is usually predicting ovulation 4 days before I actually ovulate. My app predicted 24th of December was my ovulation day, but running by my normal I would say 28th December which makes it 11Dpo. I haven’t used the sticks this month because I’ve become so fixated on it I’m trying to relax and not worry.

Tested today - was BFN today, 2 days late AF.
I had inputted 6 months of data into an app, and apparently I ovulated 23rd December (CD12). However, I had EWCM 30th & 31st of December which would be CD20/CD21.

Today's symptoms are: On going nausea, shattered/exhausted, food aversions and dizziness, boobs feel a little fuller but not sore, crying a lot, random pain under armpit, and passing urine a lot - 4 times this AM! Some of these can be my period so I am not convinced, however the biggest thing is that if I have sex in the day or so before my due period I always come on my period during/post sex. That's not happened this month.

@Alh96 what DPO are you? Could you have tested too early? Those all sound like positive symptoms to me!

I normally suffer from severe period cramps and back pain in the week leading up to TOTM. I’ve had none of that. I’ve felt nauseous, sore and veiny looking boobs, cramping fatigue. It’s hard to stay positive :(

@Ella31 fingers crossed for both us. I'm definitely going to be using all the tips you've mentioned!

Thought AF was over, definitely not. I've normally 3 day periods , but it's so heavy after my section 9 weeks ago. Bit like a murder scene🤣 There's a bit of relief in me though that I've had my first cycle now and hopefully my body is going yo get back to normal. Probably no harm to have the first cycle as well. Dying to get into testing for ovulation though, so hopefully this will hurry up and finish.

Sorry @MrsRandallFraser to see Af arrived, we can be testing buddies this month coming so. Hopefully will be our month too.

@Alh96 unless Aunt Flo turns up hun your not out !

@TrainIsMoving wirh my first I had a line at 8dpo with morning sickness but with my son it was over the tww no symptoms at all fingers crossed your just testing to early babe 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Bfn for me this morning 😭 last couple of cycles I've had some symptoms that were quite unusual, and then bfn... I've been pregnant 3 times last year and I had those symptoms, it's weird the body tricking me like this. I always got bfp at dpo 10 (faint), so I think onwards to the next cycle

Hi Everyone,

Im on my TTC journey, I am about to start cycle 12 TTC. Constantly seeing a negative each month is becoming more and more difficult. I was adamant that I was pregnant this month, sadly another negative says otherwise.

@MrsRandallFraser oh bless you hope next month is it for you 🤞🏽 I am the same this cycle haven’t been on it so I’m gearing up for a bfn tbh!

@siobhanmt247 oh 9 days is an excellent time to get a bfp! Makes the tww a little less stressful haha ! I found out with my daughter at 8dpo and my son I don’t even know as that month me and hubby actually stopped trying and only did the deed twice that whole month haha

@VolkswagenxLou believe me the tww is horrendous wish someone could just invent something to let you follow if you conceived and track that 😂 then we would know where we stand !

has anybody symptom spotting? I have wicked insomnia and blocked nose tonight cramping on and off and 2 days ago emotional to the point I was crying at everything 😂 thing is I know it’s too early for me to symptom spot with only being 6dpo

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to all this, it's our first month TTC properly since having my little boy three years ago! It's my first time tracking ovulation with strips too, got Positive OPK on CD11 (currently CD14) so my partner and I tried the day before, day of surge & day after.. on to the TWW now I can already tell it's going to drag!🤣

Congrats on the BFPs x

Congratulations @Wonderpants3 and I can definitely see something there @siobhanmt247 so tentative early congrats to you too!

AF just arrived so back to CD1 for me. Not too surprised or disappointed as I was a bit sloppy with OPK testing and think we missed ovu day so can be more on it this cycle!

@MrsP20202 thank you. I'm only 9dpo...soooo early. I feel like I can't get excited yet

@siobhanmt247 eeekkkk yep see a line!! How many dpo are you now? Congratulations!! Keep us updated with line progression

Thank you everyone. My OH says he isn't going to get excited until I miss my period and says to consider myself not pregnant until then

I had really bad cramping for the first few weeks with my first baby
