I'm 1dpo and it's already dragging 🙄

Anyone else in TWW or TTC in January?

Hi everyone! joining this thread a bit late in the month but I have been following along silently from the beginning. Huge congrats to the BFPs! Wishing you healthy pregnancies 🥰 and commiserations to the BFNs, here’s hoping for more luck in February.

Im approx 2 or 3 dpo, month #4 of ttc baby number 1. Tbh I have no idea how many dpo I am- LH rise was 2 days ago and then had a small temp rise yday and a bigger one today. Still had EWCM yesterday. What do you ladies go off to determine which day you ovulated?

My husband and I were trying the SMEP plan this month but missed yesterday (the last of the 3 days in a row) because we were so exhausted lol. Still, have dtd loads of times in the fertile window so I’m hopeful, but trying not to be after having my hopes crushed with a BFN the last 3 months!

@holly12388 @Bey thank you! It does quite seem real yet!

Leonarda89 · 16/01/2024 20:50

Hello everyone, first time posting. First cycle TTC #2. DD is nearly 2.5. Told myself I wouldn't obsess or symptom spot this time but not going well 🙈 I'm on cycle day 20, cycles still irregular since DD but average is 26 days so less than a week til AF, not tracking Ovulation but think it's fairly early usually. Have been having head aches, some cramping, tender boobs and today lots and lots of discharge which is quite watery. I don't think I've had tender boobs or watery discharge since last time I was pregnant but could be wishful thinking 🙈😂
Good luck to everyone!

I'm out guys! Congratulations to everyone who had BFP's this month!!

Going to move over to a February chat!

Good luck and baby dust to you all!! ❤️

MrsP20202 · 16/01/2024 18:00

Took a test and a bfn, craving a lot of carbs ! So I think af will be here anyday now kinda just want her to show up so I can start again as I am 99% sure didn’t conceive now

mumto1girlie · 16/01/2024 14:33

wooo congratulations @Demi55, there’s something about a digital that actually makes you believe it! exciting times ahead!

@tierneytarny congratulations! life has a funny way of throwing things at us when we least expect it! x

tierneytarny · 16/01/2024 13:55

I’ve got a BFP today. A little shocked as I am due to have surgery next month (so I’m guessing that’s off!). Completely planned but once my surgery date came through, we stopped trying. I took a FRER and didn’t believe it but two digitals have confirmed. So very excited but so very shocked!

wolflein · 16/01/2024 13:16

Congratulations @Demi55
@RW269 same here :( My AF arrived on Sunday so i've been pretty disappointed for the past two days... But will be following you all along on here and wishing you all BFPs for this month!
And I'm actually really excited to get going again with the OPKs. New cycle new luck! I just want to work on being less obsessive with the symptom spotting this cycle and not take tests super early on already... Let's see how that goes lol.

@Riverstardust your comment about forgetting your usual PMS symptoms really resonated with me - I’ve totally forgotten how I usually feel!

AF due on Saturday, and I’m 11dpo.

I felt so nauseous when I woke up this morning but that’s passed. I’ve got cramps today so feel like AF is on the way, although I usually spot for a few days before I’m due and haven’t had anything this week 🤷‍♀️

Glad it's not just me. 😂 Been having AF for 15 years but apparently it's all new to me this cycle 😂

Due AF tomorrow, so holding off testing until Friday. Not feeling positive about it but you never know.

Puddingpie1234 · 16/01/2024 11:50

@Demi55 congratulations, great news :)

@mumto1girlie @Kofifi @Puddingpie1234

Sorry @holly12388 it's a disheartening feeling even when AF isn't here yet but you never know until the red lady sings. The time I conceived I was so worried it would be a BFN that I waited until 3 days late because I had only gone 1 day late in the past so 3 seemed safe to check and got the darkest BFP on an FRER I've ever seen and a clear digital. Testing before AF is so tempting I know because I just did an ultra early clear blue which showed not pregnant even though AF not due till Saturday! So I'm 98% sure I'm not but I'll still wonder all week until she shows and regret the £17 I just forked out for a wee!
Hang in there and we'll keep fingers crossed 🤞🏻

100000% agree!

Usually my mind is in a good place up until cd20 & then I begin to slowly obsess about testing I know there really isn't much in it!
I'll still be/or not be pregnant if I wait 5 or 6 days just need to calm down lol.

Gurrrllll these wee's be getting expensive towards the end of each cycle 😂

Keep me updated with you, lots of baby dust! x

Stark White BFN this morning.
Trying not to be too disheartened.. but no denying it SUCKS seeing it, just makes me feel like I'm out even though it's early days (10dpo)

Also experiences af cramps, period due on Sunday..

I really hate the TWW 😖

Anyone in TWW? Or TTC in January 2024?
RW269 · 15/01/2024 16:50

Awwh that’s me out for the month, AF has arrived. So disappointed :( good luck to the rest of you! see any February folk in the next thread!

holly12388 · 15/01/2024 15:26

Been quietly reading since the original post 

I'm 9dpo today, and urge to test tomorrow with frer has taken over..

Been soo lovely to see all the bfp from this post & I'm hoping & praying plenty more happen this month.

I've been pretty I'll with tonsillitis the past few days which has really taken my attention away from symptom spotting and getting lost in cycle days..

Anywhoooo here we are. I'm nervous & exited to test but really wondering if I can just hang on a few more days. I really don't want another bfn (cycle #11 trying for our first)

BelBabe · 15/01/2024 14:59

Hello everyone! Joining in currently 10dpo and had a clear BFN this morning so feeling a bit deflated.
However for the past couple of nights I have had such vivid dreams about either being pregnant or having a baby. I know it's probably just cos I'm thinking about it so much but when I was pregnant with my daughter I had similar dreams and then a couple of days later got my BFP so I'm holding on to hope. But not testing again until Wednesday when I'm due.

Hope everyone else is holding up ok, this wait is the worst

Em39al · 15/01/2024 14:22

@siobhanmt247 thank you! Fingers crossed! My partner and me are both hoping things will happen naturally, but I guess at some point we’ll have to consider getting things checked out if nothing continues to happen.

mumto1girlie · 15/01/2024 14:19

@Demi55 i did my digital the day after my positive and it come up straight away, as for vitamins, i just take vitamin d and folic acid so cant really be of help! make sure you book in with a midwife/self refer depending on your area altho you wont be seen til around 8 weeks x

siobhanmt247 · 15/01/2024 13:48

@Em39al it might just be a blip. I had a few and even do still now and Im 4w3d

Dizzy1994 · 15/01/2024 12:01

I didnt know these threads existed!!!
TTC since June. Ovulating tomorrow me thinks

Demi55 · 15/01/2024 11:39

@MrsP20202 @mumto1girlie

Thank you! That has really assured me!

I now need to work out what I do when I get a digital pregnancy confirmation. With it being my first and not telling any (expect my partner) we are trying I actually don’t know what to do next.

Also, I’m currently talking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins, which vitamins should I change to? I don’t eat fish so I’m worried I’m deficient in omega 3 so wanna change to one that contains that. Sorry for all the questions
