January TTC Support Group 💚

Thank you so much. That sounds like good advice, and a good place to start for now!

What do all these abbreviations mean? 🥺

Sorry about AF @Kateb149 and the bfn @CoolSummer89 . Sending baby dust to you both ✨

1 dpo today, officially in the TWW.

Thanks everyone, it means a lot to have virtual support. It’s been 6 months since we started ttc after coming off the pill this was cycle 5, I’m 40 and was starting to worry it might not happen as it happened month 1 with my other 2.

To everyone still waiting for their bfp good luck and to others testing early and getting discouraged this is the first pregnancy that I’ve ever had a positive at 9dpo, with the others I only had a positive test after a missed period.

Hi Ladies,
I think I’m out this month, it’s only our first try but I think I’d symptom spotted too much and convinced myself we had won the lottery!

AF is due tomorrow and I was up all night with AF type cramps. I’ve never had that before - usually I cramp and then AF arrives but AF isn’t here yet… I might test tomorrow (11DPO) if AF doesn’t come in the night.
Has anyone had this? Am I still in the game or am I just fooling myself 😩.

Beautiful line 😍 huge congratulations xxx

Exciting about your wedding! Just have sex every other day after your period stops for a couple of weeks and you’ll be covered. Or you could use ovulation test sticks if you want but I think if you’re just getting going keeping it simple for a few months is the way to go. Definitely take some folic acid or prenatal vitamins from now though so that your body is all set up. I use naitre but sure others also have recommendations.

Hello, I’m a newbie. Can I join?

34 years old, no children. Myself & partner are getting married in March and looking to start ttc. I have no idea where to start, I feel so daunted reading this thread and a lot of it I really do not understand! I am not on any contraception. I have just finished my period, and the app on my iPhone says my fertile window is 11th to 16th January.

Any help ladies?

Thanks @MrsH26 and @CoolSummer89 ❤️

It definitely does feel like the lottery sometimes! Sorry to hear you got a BFN @CoolSummer89 but hopefully the fertility checks will prove helpful 🤞 is your DH also getting any tests done?

Haha hopefully we don’t see each other in the Feb/March threads 😅 but wishing you all the luck until then! X

Sorry to hear that AF has arrived @Kateb149, it's all a bit like entering the lottery isn't it. Your numbers will come in one month, I'm sure of it 🤞
I am 12DPO and BFN for me. My period should arrive on Monday and then I am going for my first ever fertility investigation so hopefully on the way to some answers and support.
For various reasons we're not going to try this month, so best of luck for next cycle and I hope I won't see you on the Feb/March group

Congratulations @Sugarcube84

@Kateb149 sorry about AF, hope the next few weeks goes quickly for you and the cup works well

Sadly AF has arrived for me so I’m out this month! Will likely ovulate around 20th… I have just ordered a conception cup to see if that improves our chances and also ordered some different vitamins. Here’s hoping doing something different works 😅

That’s good news 🥳 I knew it would happen for you sooner or later! X

I have everything crossed it is early pregnancy signs for you 🤞 but you’re doing the right thing with DTD just in case. Let us know how you get on x

@Sugarcube84 that is deffo positive!! Congrats x

Todays test

Finally… OPKs are reading high!

such a relief to know the ovaries are kicking back into gear!

I honestly have no idea. We’ve been DTD every other day so will just continue that in case that’s what’s happening. I’m not having any EWMC this time like I did a few days ago, it’s just really wet/watery discharge so much so that my pants feel damp, I’m going to have to pop a liner on if it continues. I had insanely wet/watery discharge extremely early on in pregnancy the last time but honestly couldn’t tell you if it was as early as 3DPO. It’s all very strange.

i’m really sorry i don’t see anything but my eye sight is so bad it’s probably me 🙈 even on the extract i can’t see them.

have you done a digital? sending you the luck 🌈

Are you sure your body isn’t trying to ovulate again? I have had two ‘peaks’ in one month before and have read it’s because ovulation didn’t happen the first time so your body tries again? X

@Sugarcube84 i can definitely see the lines a huge congratulations!! ❤️
@abi555 yep I’m in the same boat! I said I wouldn’t cave and test early…. I’m 8DPO and stupidly decided to take a test this morning… BFN nothing! I know it’s early to take a test but I’m impatient and this is our 7 maybe 8th cycle actually TTC. Sooo I have been sulking this morning and telling my husband that I’m all dried up and baron! 🤦‍♀️😂. Urrghhhh why is this so hard! X

I thought my OPKs might have been about to peak. But they’ve stayed static. CD14 today.
since coil removal they’ve been 0.11-0.19 consistently. Big rise to 0.47 yesterday and they’ve stayed around that all day yesterday and this morning. Premom is telling me I’ve got low readings but an increased LH on the calendar.

i’ll keep testing throughout today and hopefully see a positive OPK soon!

Weird feelings and trying not to read in to things! I should only be 3DPO based on EWCM and OPKs, however, my OPKs are getting darker again. Started getting dark yesterday and super dark again today, like the same darkness as my peak. My boobs feel heavy with tingly nipples, I’m constipated, bloated, having cramps and feel sick. What on earth is going on?! I don’t feel like this on a normal cycle but this is way too early to actually be symptoms isn’t it?

So last night my opk went straight to very positive (1.19 on premom vs 0.24 in the morning, so that was fast.) DTD last night and today I'm having really strong ovulation like cramps so I hope I'm ovulating. Still not seeing a sustained rise in BBT but I'll see over a few more days.
Going to DTD today and tomorrow and hope that covers everything

@SarahB88 ahh maybe so then, fingers crossed for us both! We’ve also been doing the same so let’s hope it’s enough 😊
