January TTC Support Group 💚

Yes I find that this happens with me too. I seem to get another good line in the evening so will try again tonight as sure my surge is coming as line was so strong this morning at 10am but nothing picked up at 1.30pm as I was really hydrated. I’m going to stop drinking around 5 so I can hopefully get a meaningful test in.

does drinking lots of water effect the easy at home ovulation kits?
ive drank loads today and my urine is very clear and pale but my ovation number has dropped significantly

@MummyV2021 so sorry to hear about your CP and the bleeding issues ☹️ I also had CP on the 21st so here’s hoping for positive vibes for us

Hey ladies! My rollercoaster cycle has come to an end finally... I had a chemical and started AF on 21st December which lasted 5 days but I started bleeding again yesterday and was still testing positive so ended up in A&E for checks and bloods to rule out ectopic. Have been for a scan this morning and confirmed a complete miscarriage and a negative pregnancy test so all happy that everything is now as it should be. No idea what this next cycle is going to be like given the extended window of positive tests and the additional bleed so not going to track at all this month. Just going to DTD when we feel like it and see what happens as the nurse said it could be another 4-6 weeks for my period from today so who knows!!

@MyGardenDaisies @momofonex I think I can see them in these newer photos 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Tweaking the contrast shows a bit more but it's so hard to get on camera!

I know, I'd be giving that same advice to someone else! @MyGardenDaisies but it's hard to follow when it's yourself

I definitely see a line on the latest photo you posted though

Can anyone see a super faint line? Or am I being delusional

@MyGardenDaisies I can’t see anything but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there, I’ve found cameras often don’t pick it up if the light isn’t just right. Have you tried turning up the contrast? Still super early too so plenty of time for an obvious line to develop.

I’m holding out so far and haven’t bought a test. I looked back at my last pregnancy and I had an obvious positive on 9 dpo. So that is 5/6 days away for me.

Thanks @KittyFantastica, still testing high (day 8 of this now?!) but no peak. Really not my normal ovulation pattern so I’m not convinced I’m going to ovulate this month. Have been DTD regularly anyway. Hormones and cycles have been all over the place since having DD!
Also thanks for the peak pics, they’re really interesting! I’ve never had lines that dark on any of my lh tests, just assumed the tests didn’t go like that! Must just have peaks at a much lower level.
Sorry to hear AF has arrived @Nicola1988 and that’s you’re now at the 12 month point. Really hope you’ll start getting some answers soon.

Af showed a couple of days early. Felt so optimistic this month as had a lot of weird symptoms i dont typically have...anyways. onto cycle number 13...maybe lucky for some? My cycle is usually 25-26 days and expect full flow to start tomorrow so date of next period dye 25th of jan x. Have an appointment booked for 8th of january with my gp to ask for referral to fertility. I turned 36 in oct and really panicked x

Morning, FF has wrongly noted my ovulation date as CD11 (before I even had my surge and peak...) instead of CD12/13, so it will be a day or two off accuracy for the rest of my cycle now, which annoys me. When it comes to testing time, I'll be driving myself mad thinking I'm further along than I actually am.

I don't see anything yet @MyGardenDaisies, but then again I've had squinters that couldn't be picked up by a camera at all previously.

I remember this time last year in our previous December thread. We had so much hope @CoolSummer89 ❤️ It feels like forever ago and yesterday at the same time. It's so cruel. 3rd January will be my first test anniversary, and 4th will be my first positive test anniversary (ended at 6 weeks). I think I'm due AF on the 9th January. I only test if I feel weird, so who knows when I'll test this time.

Maybe I also have the 7dpo crazies because I think also see something @MyGardenDaisies. Just try and hold tight, as @SarahB88 says it's still very early!

I feel like I have officially completed TTC, without the positive pregnancy test. It was a year ago today that I took my first pregnancy test - splurging for an early digital 😝

Today at 7dpo I have really tender breasts - which I have had on multiple cycles! And a big BBT drop - which I have had on most cycles. Can't even let myself get my hopes up anymore 😅

@KittyFantastica yeah I definitely get what you mean about not having any obvious symptoms. I usually rely on the OPK’s since I have PCOS and don’t really get symptoms, but my cycles have been quite consistent the last few months so thought I’d see what happens. I think when I get my peak my body tricks me into having symptoms so I think usually it’s in my head 😂.

I’m 1dpo (at a guess) and only dtd Christmas Eve and last night, so I’m not expecting anything this cycle.

@MyGardenDaisies I’m not sure I can see anything either, but doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Fingers crossed for you!

@blackberryhill completely understand your frustration 😣. Such a head spin being happy for others but also infuriated and jealous at the same time

I don’t see anything ☹️ but I would say those tests are rubbish!!! Every single other test picked up my CP last month except for those tests so I wouldn’t trust them, especially only at 7DPO. Have another go at 10DPO 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Think I’m getting my surge today, had a really dark line on my OPK now. Will test again after lunch to see what’s going on. I’m CD10 of a 24-26 day cycle and have EWCM so seems about right for me.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas - mine was somewhat ruined by my SIL announcing her pregnancy, their son isn’t 2 yet and is 18 months younger than my son…

Looks like I’ll be hanging around for another stab at January - 10DPO today, temperature has fallen and I’m spotting slightly. Expect my period will be here by NYD if not sooner.

That’s so weird… I have heard of people having some odd batches but not with pen marks 😅 It sounds like you’re doing it the right way and not getting too stressed about it all ☺️ if you feel like you’re in your fertile week and you’re DTD every other day i’m sure you’ll be fine!

Good luck to you 🤞

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

CD9 and I had weird one sided pain yesterday that felt like ovulation. But OPKs were low. It's too early to ovulate anyway so I have no idea what's going on😂
