January TTC Support Group 💚

I definitely see a line, how exciting!!!😍

@CoolBananas21 definitely see a line and my phone is still on eye rest mode!

9dpo here and my lh is rising. Anyone else get this? I wasn't planning on testing but after a rise in lh I did a test. There is an incredibly faint line more of a shadow really I don't think it's visible in photos. I don't feel pregnant no symptoms but I also don't normally have lh rising

Is there a February support group up yet? Just wondering as I’m due my period next week and if it comes I was just wondering if I could pop onto the next one x

So happy for you!!🥰

So after coming off the pill in November, and having my first period just before Christmas - I've finally gotten my OPK! It's felt like a long time coming!!

I see a line @CoolBananas21 ! Congratulations x

Omg I just realised I said hoping for BFNs instead of BFPs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Welcome! Hoping for a BFP for us all! 🥰

Hi everyone, just hopping on! Very unlikely that I’m pregnant as my son is an IVF baby and we didn’t get pregnant naturally in 5 years 🥴 but I’d love another one! Trying naturally for now for a while before we go ahead with a frozen embryo transfer. I’m not sure if I even got a positive OPK, the day we did the deed (CD13) the lines had significantly darkened (does that mean I will have ovulated at some point?!) but then we went away for a few days and I didn’t test, so not sure if I got my positive thay day or the day after. So I’m basically very much probably not pregnant, but I’m crazy so here I am ☺️ currently on CD21 and hoping I’m 8PO 🤔 7DPO maybe. Hoping for BFNs for you all ❤️

I got this faint line yesterday (9 DPO) after around 15 minutes, it was an evap line as I got a BFN this morning but I still want to have hope for tomorrow. AF is due 12th.

It’s horrible just before Christmas isn’t it. We thought we’d be telling my family lovely news on the 25th but it wasn’t to be. I’m sure 2025 will be the year for us both!! Hopefully AF doesn’t show up next week for us. I’ve been having some strange feelings so hoping it’s not PMS related. I have some progesterone tests, stupidly did one late afternoon today even though it says to do with first urine and obviously it was negative so will try with that again in a couple of days.

Oh wow, potentially cycle twinnies! Will keep everything crossed for you lovely! I've had a few CPs and early MCs across my 2 lots of TTC now but this one starting just says before Christmas hit a little different. I'm not getting my hopes up this month but it would be lovely to get a BFP that sticks!! Our time is coming!

@MummyV2021 fingers crossed for you! We’re very similar, I had a CP in December and AF due on 16th this month so let’s see what happens. Hopefully it’s good news for you 🤞

Congrats @CoolBananas21!! Great start to the year 🥰

I finally got an almost BFN this morning after my early MC in December. It was still positive but a total squinter and the faintest it's been so I won't test again now as confident if I tested tomorrow/weds it would be fully negative. Due to still bleeding a few days ago but getting ovulation symptoms (EWCM and cramps) I did do an OPK and should actually be 3DPO today if I actually ovulated. And we were DTD in the window so might be in with a chance this month! I won't be testing early though, don't want to drive myself mad again! If I did actually ovulate AF should be due 17th Jan but obviously I have no idea what the MC will have done to my cycle so guess we'll just see! I'll be watching this group closely so I can squint at other tests instead of my own ☺️

Thanks to everyone for the messages. I'm still not 100% convinced so will take another test in a few days. Xxx

Congratulations @CoolBananas21 definitely a line, I could see it without enlarging the pic.

I'm out for the beginning of the month, first period since DS was born was 3rd Dec, still no period but tests have come back negative. Prior to him I had 31 day cycles.

In theory I should ovulate again in Jan though but to test in Feb, so not sure whether to stay here or move groups!

@CoolBananas21 I definitely see it - how exciting!

@MakeMeJuno @Kateb149 @EEB1989 Just to add to this, my luteal phase is 10 - 11 days and I conceived previously without assistance. It always plays on my mind but everything seems to suggest it really isn't a problem in the mid- to long-term.

CD7 today here, finished Round 2 of letrozole so we'll see what happens. This part of the cycle is so boring!

No idea if it works but makes me feel like I am doing something at least 😂

I got my peak on OPKs last night so DTD last night, will tonight and Tuesday. Only second month trying but still feeling hopeful.
If I do fall pregnant this month it'll be due same time as my DS's birthday so not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Oh wow hadn’t heard of evening primrose helping a short LP, I think I may have one some months too. Will look in to that.

I totally get it, when AF arrived earlier this week my anxious thoughts took over and I had a big cry. But feeling a lot better now. So sorry to hear about the CP ❤️ it must be extremely hard but you are right it was more than likely just not the right embryo.

I have to keep telling myself that 😅 thank you, I know anything up to a year is normal it just gets to me sometimes. Hope your week goes quickly for you.

@Kateb149 @EEB1989 thanks for both replying!! I agree it isn't a concern really, but you know when the anxious thoughts take over... I had a CP last month so just worried it's related to the short phase but have to remind myself CP are so common usually bcos something wrong with the embryo not me! I have heard evening primrose oil helps so am taking that when I remember...

6 months feels like such a long time when you're living in, but it's really normal - I know that can be annoying to hear. CD14 here but not expecting to ovulate until next week... I get weirdly jealous of people with shorter cycles lol it feels so long to wait. Just got to be patient.

Anyone else continuing to be bloated and have cramps post ovulation this month?

My apps are all over the place with when they say my period is due but I know my cycle is 24-26 days so should be due on by the 16th at the latest. I’ve never had cycles longer than 26 days even pre pregnancy with my daughter and I’ve got Flo set to a 26 day cycle but it keeps giving me a 28 day cycle in the calendar 🙄 I’ve deliberately not bought any tests this month, I have one cheap one that can be used on the 16th if AF doesn’t arrive. My OPK lines have also been all over the shop so don’t know if I ovulated on CD12 or 14 as lines were just as dark as control on CD11 then got dark again on CD13, who knows. So I can’t possibly be stressing about the TWW as I’ve no idea what’s going on 😂

@MakeMeJuno @EEB1989 I also have a luteal phase of 11 days. When I look online at what is considered a ‘short’ phase it seems to vary massively from 8-12 days!

I am not too worried though as I have been pregnant before which was accidental! And I have seen stories on here of women with shorter phases who get their BFP. I’ve been TTC for 6 months now but it could just be to do with age etc x

@CoolBananas21 I can see a line ☺️ congratulations!! X
