January TTC Support Group 💚

@CoolBananas21 eeeekkkkkk!!! Excited for you I can definitely see that line!! ☺️x

Morning,
I was googling short luteal phases and I’ve read some threads on here - a lot of women have it and it wasn’t an issue for them, I read a little bit on how to make them longer but as it’s our first month I don’t want to read too much as it will only make me worry more.

Currently CD31 but feel like AF is on her way. When I first came off the pill (2yrs ago) my cycles were 34 days, it’s only in the last 12 months that they’ve got shorter.

Try not to worry about it - there’s so many factors to it all. It amazes me how people who are not TTC actually manage it!

@CoolBananas21 I can see a faint line!

Okay so I have taken another test today - am I going mad or is there a faint line? X

Morning! I also have a short lut phase, usually 11days - cycles seem to be getting longer.. trying not to worry but something is telling me it might be an issue. It's so hard not overtthink x

I'm also a lot heavier than I have been in previous pregnancies. Trying to be sensible with eating and including a bit more movement. My last pregnancy my bmi was almost 30 and it's currently 32

@Lavenderrose92 if the line on the stick was as dark as the control then go with that rather than the number on the app. Premom numbers are meaningless and depending what light you upload the photo in it can give you a lower reading than what you see in real life. I believe the digital ones are prone to false positives from what I’ve read. But if you’re getting positive OPKs you’re likely to ovulate tomorrow, the egg can live for up to 24 hours so you might catch it on Wednesday but I’d be looking to DTD tonight too just to cover it. If all else fails they say just have sex every other day.

My clear blue digital is showing flashing smiley face but the premom is low at 0.16?!?

im still recovering from virus so doubt il try this month however we are away wednesday night for a wedding so may baby dance then, is it too late?

@abi555 yes it very well could be? They say that implantation bleeding usually coincides with when our periods are due! It’s so fustrating that pregnancy symptoms are also pretty much the same as pms symptoms! It’s a waiting game and the days seem to drag don’t they! 🤦‍♀️ also your body won’t have produced enough hcg if implantation hasn’t occurred yet so that’s why the test would be negative. Crossing my fingers for you. ☺️x

I'm 11dpo and stark white BFN this morning. However, have just started having some spotting and now I can't decide if it could be implantation bleeding or early AF! Aaaaaah, I know the only way to be sure is to wait until tomorrow and AF will either start completely or not but its driving me bonkers googling!

Do you think there's any chance it's implantation bleeding with a BFN at 11dpo?

With my first 2 I only got positives after a missed prior so 16 dpo

8DPO (I think) today for me and no signs whatsoever. Before I got my BFP at 9DPO with my boy, I was having hot flushes and fatigue from 7DPO. I knew I wasn't pregnant last cycle and I can already tell this one is over too. AF is due on Wednesday or Thursday, but it's been a horrendously stressful weekend and I even had a drink tonight. I hate January.

@CoolBananas21 yes definitely wait probably until 10/11 dpo? 8 is still very early. I said I wasn’t going to test early anymore as the disappointment each cycle was getting to me…. However stupidly I tested early yesterday 9dpo and had a BFN again! Im still holding on to a little bit of hope this month though. 😬☺️ hope you get your BFP soon x

Thank you! I think deep down it's nothing but an evap line but will test again later on in the week. Thank you! X

@CoolBananas21 i definitely see something but as @Lavenderrose92 said clearly blue are known for there horrible evap lines! I have been stung a few times in the past with horrible evap lines with clear blue! I’m crossing my fingers for you though ☺️x

I'll test in a few days. I only have the clear blue ones. Thank you for replying xx

Besides the dye run I see something but it could be an EVAP, do you have any pink dye tests? Or test after a couple days

Congratulations!!

i can’t but see dye run, clear blue are awful for this. I would wait a few days and then do a digital as 8dpo is still early x

I’m considered obese, I’m 13st 8lb and 5ft 5. With my DS I ended up with GD but I was literally on the line and so they treated me anyway (diabetes also runs in my family). I also have fibromyalgia, but I had the most amazing pregnancy and felt the best I’d ever felt. I ended up with an emergency c-section coz of a few complications but baby was born fine and no issues from me having the GD x

I am 9 DPO today and still negative, when do most people get there positives? Is it too late soon? Getting hopeless :(

Can anyone else see a faint faint line? In person it's more noticeable but just wanted to see if I'm going crazy or not?

I'm 8 dpo x

Well 5dpo today and started to get the usual spots/headaches before AF 😔 not due until the 14th but I can just feel that I’m out this month.

Dpes anyone have any positive stories to share about plus size pregnancy? I’m a few stone heavier than I was when I conceived DD and although I’m trying to eat better, I’d like to hear some success stories!

Congratulations @Sugarcube84, delighted for you..all the best 💖

So wonderful to see this
