January TTC Support Group 💚

Hey @carolinep3 💗I totally understand those feelings, and I notice you say 'failed' in this post. I know it's easier said than done but please try not to talk to yourself that way - you haven't failed at anything!! The right egg needs to meet the right sperm at the right time with the right body conditions... I had a CP last month and try to remind myself that the chances are it meant something would have been wrong with the baby, and my body was actually very clever at sorting it out super early. I'm not always able to have this mindset but I have been consistent at talking to myself in a positive way and it does seem to be helping!!! Sending you lots of love and hope x

I’m either 4 or 6DPO, unsure as I had 2 peaks 🤷🏼‍♀️ but my progesterone test this morning was a clear positive which is a good sign. Weirdly my LH levels had a drop and seem to have gone up again so I’m hoping that means something is happening and the tests are actually picking up HCG but I don’t know if it’s too early for that. I’m the biggest symptom spotter and I really need to stop 😂

yayy congratulations ❤️

Sorry for the second post this morning! My husband is still in a bit if disbelief so I did my two digital tests! 10dpo

Big Congratulations to everyone who has got their BFP!
Those who haven't - keep going ❤️ it took us 11 months of trying to get DD.

I had a wee on one of the internet cheapies I bought. I did struggle to see the line and it was impossible to take a photo while wrestling a toddler, but the line is still there. I don't know what my dpo would be, but we only DtD on day 15 & 16. With DD I think I ovulated around day 17, which would make this only 11DPO so I probably shouldn't be too concerned it's faint right?
The tests I did yesterday were first response and CB so both I guess pick up smaller amounts of HCG compared to the internet cheapies?!
Just trying to reassure myself as the internet cheaper looks about the same as the FR yday.
I'll compare to another cheapie tomorrow

10dpo and a positive on a clear blue this morning. I do have a digital but I think I'll take it Friday when my period is due 😅

Been using the cheap amazon ones and there is a line but still very faint. Anyone have experiences with these taking a while? I know 10dpo is still on the esrly side too

Thank you ❤️ totally understand how you feel, hope you get your BFP soon too. I’m sure our time will come, it’s just hard to be patient sometimes! x

Hi, welcome to the thread! 💕 It's such a tough journey and completely normal to feel disappointed and sad. Especially when it feels like you're doing everything right. It's even harder around the holidays when the emotions av amplified and you're wishing for that special news. Many of us here knows exactly how demoralizing it can feel. Sending you lots of love and baby dust for the cycles ahead 💗

Hi all,
im afraid I haven’t read the previous 26 pages 🙈.
I am on cycle 4 of ttc and really need people to talk too. It is so demoralising. I am 8dpo and starting a tiny bit of spotting today. That is consist for a normal failed cycle for me. Af will start in the next week.
im so sad and disappointed. Being Christmas we want all our this month! BD through all 5 of fertile days, ovulation day and day after!

@Miffy1994 we’re exactly the same, 4dpo and due on Monday! Short LP for me so i worry that the bean won’t have time to stick

Please can I join? First cycle ttc number 3. Only 4dpo today but I am so fed up of the TWW already.

@Tally89 @Kateb149 in the same boat as you ladies this is our 7/8 cycle TTC and I’m so fed up with seeing negatives. I’m 36 and I’m starting to think that perhaps it’s just not meant to be! Wish I could be more positive hopefully AF won’t show in a couple of days! But totally can sympathise with the emotional rollercoaster that you are going through. Fingers crossed you get BFPs soon x

Congrats all on the BFPs! Lots of them flying in now, so exciting!
4dpo here and boy is it dragging… AF due next Mon according to Premom but I think that’s a few days early as I ovulated late. Will test on Sunday anyway as it’s my bday so hoping for an early present! Think it looks like there’s a few of us on this sort of timeline

Sorry to see your message @Tally89 As it's been 6 months, maybe pop along to the GP and see what they can offer? If nothing else, I think sometimes the feeling that there might be help around the corner is enough to help relax things a bit. And if they do find anything, then you'll get a plan of action :)

Look at all those BFPs today!!!
Christmas magic for you all

If I can offer you a bit of hope. We fell pregnant quickly in 2021 but had a MC. It then took 9 months for us to get a positive again. Our bodies can take a lot longer than we expect. That second positive is currently playing at nursery!

Thanks! Yeh it's tough isn't it. Although I do feel positive that it's a new year and same as you, trying to focus on being healthy and preparing my body for a pregnancy and the fact that up to a year is v normal. Here's to 2025 for us!

Sorry to hear @Tally89 😔 it’s hard when you’re seeing BFN’s each month isn’t it. I had a full meltdown this month after AF arrived as it’s been 6 months for me too… and each month that passes I am getting myself more and more worked up. I had a big cry, spoke about it with DH and realised it is normal for it to take up to a year and I need to just keep going. I’m trying to focus on other things this month like my overall health so i’m not getting too obsessed with just TTC.
I think NHS recommends getting checked after 6 months TTC if you’re over 35 so maybe book in with your doctor. Wishing you all the best x

I had this too, I did the same as Hen2000 and just kept tracking and the app updated itself ☺️ x

Thanks @Hen2000, that's what I'm hoping. Congrats on the bfp 🙌🏻🌟

I have had similar i just kept tracking. I can't remember if it adjusted itself or if I manually changed it myself. This month it kept moving around

So exciting seeing all these bfps! Congratulations ladies and all the best!

Has anyone experienced this - attached pics of my Premom app tracking tests and chart. It's saying I'm 1dpo but I've not had a 'high' reading or a line darker than the control. Could the app be adjusting? I think ovulation is delayed as I've been ill.
TIA x

The thread is moving so fast today!!

Congrats @Hen2000!

@Room4onemore Sorry I missed your post from before - I can see a vvvfl on yours like mine!
