January TTC Support Group 💚

Thankyou @abi555 and @MyGardenDaisies I’m going to wait until after I’ve missed my period next weds so fingers crossed I’ll be joining you

@Lcc5261 I think the apps just not picked up your peak properly then like me. I’ve been the same as you and reckon I ovulated a couple of days ago, maybe even yesterday but more likely day before. We’ve just been DTD every other day to cover ourselves. Exciting that we are cycle twinies!

This is all a bit eeek but I'm going to join in here. We've decided that we're going to start trying this month for our first. I'm 35 and a little overweight so I'm betting it might take a while.

So I should ovulate around 26th.

This whole thing is a new world to me!

Fingers crossed for everyone

@SarahB88 yeah for last 2/3 days I’ve had egg white CM, cramps and tender boobs so I do think I’ve ovulated but this is my first cycle ttc #2 after coming off the mini pill so I’ve no idea what my cycle is like atm x

I also check for what my cervical mucous is up to and any ovulation bloating/pains so that I know it all matches up x

@SarahB88 ill try that thank you ☺️ x

@Lcc5261 yeah I was worried too but one of the lovely girls on here said it’s a common problem for the app to not pick up the test properly. You can also try closing the app and taking another photo in different light.

@SarahB88 ahh thank you! I’ve not used it before so thought I’d give it a try. I did wonder as some of my lines have been good.

@Lcc5261 my numbers look like this on premom too. I just ignore the numbers and look at the line progression then go in and set my peak manually. I’ve had lines exactly as dark as the control in real life and only got a reading of 0.25 on premom, a lot of it is to do with lighting of the photo.

Hi, I’m new to posting on here! Can anyone help with my ovulation tests. I just don’t get them at all, unless I’m testing too soon and need to hold out a day or two xx

Hi everyone another lurker here. Every month I say we are trying officially, but then we don't follow through 🤣. So this month might be the actual first month we actually try for baby number 3.

I am CD 7 today and should ovulate CD17. Congrats to those of you that have your BFPs, wishing the best for all xx

@MyGardenDaisies I am sooo happy for you, been following for a while. Congratulations 🥳

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations! What wonderful news to start the year!

I’m about to enter cycle 2 in a couple of days. I’ve been taking vitamin D and folic acid regularly since last month (also started some agnus cactus to preemptively help with cramping). I told myself I didn’t want to get too into my head of doing OPKs, but I have ordered some just to make sure I ovulate when the apps say I do.

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations!!
@sugarcube84 wow that's a lovely line for 9dpo - congrats!!

I tested yesterday and today (8 and 9dpo) because I clearly have no willpower whatsoever and both stark white BFN's. Realise its still v early so trying not to be too disheartened but it's hard not to. Although in some ways when I know I'm not pregnant I feel better as find the anxiety in TWW all consuming and prefer the first half of a cycle when it's not overtaking all my thoughts and can get on with other parts of life!

Thanks for the encouragement @MakeMeJuno. I'm fairly sure I was pregnant and your right can two tests lie; but it was then just like a normal AF just 5 days late... Really really hope it's true about being fertile. We are going for the every other day approach too so fingers crossed it works!! It's so hard not to become consumed by this isn't it.

Tentative congrats @Sugarcube84!

I'm either 5 or 6DPO over here, and had a massive plummet in BBT this morning. I'm nowhere near AF arriving, but I didn't have a dip like this when we conceived our little boy, and it's difficult not to compare. Trying not to be disheartened.

My GPs don't do blood tests so that's not an option sadly. I'm going to wait until Monday to test again as then it will have been a week since my scan and negative test at the hospital. All very strange!

Thanks @Marie1990x and @MummyV2021 i’ll report back tomorrow ☺️ fingers crossed

@Sugarcube84 definitely positive! Congratulations 🥰. Nice to see so many BFP’s in this group already!

@MummyV2021 that’s so frustrating. Can you call them and mention you’re still testing positive? Or even your gp? Could they do a blood test?

Just because I’m crazy I’ve done another one, this wasn’t even fmu so I’ll hold out and do another tomorrow but this is the closest to a line I’ve got in the 5 cycles 😊

Eek!! I can easily see lines on both of those tests! How exciting!!

@SarahB88 @MakeMeJuno as they could see nothing on the scan on Monday and everything had passed, plus the negative urine test they were happy it was a complete miscarriage and didn't advise further testing I assume because theirs was negative. I wasn't going to test ovulation this cycle but I've just done an OPK and it's a strong positive, although assume my peak was probably yesterday if my symptoms are anything to go by. So who the heck knows!

I might do another HCG test next week to see if it's gone negative and if it hasn't speak to the hospital - they gave me a number to call for any follow up questions. I'm having no other symptoms outside of ovulation so I don't think it's an ectopic.

cant believe I’m saying this but line eyes please im 9dpo which I know is early but caved and tested… what do you think? All came up within the time frame

@AmazeB me! I seem to be getting a line but it’s not getting darker. Though I’ve had lots of cm that looks like ovulation cm and had the cramps, so I’ve no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️

Did they offer to scan you again? I think if I was still having positive tests no matter how faint I would want a scan just for peace of mind. I could be wrong but I don't think it's possible to ovulate with HCG still in your system. Do you have any OPKs to see what they are showing? Wishing you all the best but please do keep an eye xx
