January TTC Support Group 💚

I have had a few CP and definitely find that my period is heavier & longer afterward - I think it’s normal. Doesn’t make it any easier though, I understand what you’re going through…

Same here, 13 DPO and still negative on the super early strips… hoping for some miracle but pretty sure I’m also out. Desperately hoping we get our positives soon! I have a 3.5 year old and have had 3 miscarriages since, TTC for 2 years now. Trying to stay positive and sending some your way too!

Congratulations!!😍

I can see a faint line 😍

13dpo here, had some spotting late last night and got this test this morning… am I delusional or can anyone else see a line?!

Apologies for the fingers covered in talcum powder but… I was right with my 6dpo test! 9dpo and the line is so much more visible this morning, and that’s not even fmu as I’ve been at work all night. I honestly can’t believe it 🥰🥹 x

Oh bless yous! Sorry I've been working nights so haven't had a chance to reply but have you had any further progress? AF arrived? I hope you've had some progress either way- at least you know for this month then! Bless yous ❤️ x

@Tally89 i had a CP aswell this month and on day 6 now and it’s a lot heavier than my usual AF normally AF is only 3/4 days. It’s really crap, feel for you. Hopefully our bodies will bounce back quickly enough.
Ahhh@SarahB88 so sorry you think your out this month 😞 it’s so weird what our bodies do and trick us! There have been months when I was convinced I was pregnant and then nothing! It’s the same with testing…wishing so badly for a line then convincing myself there is one! Driving me insane! Devastated when i actually got a clear positive this month the AF showed the next day. Moving on to cycle 9 now TTC, still holding out hope and have moved over to the Feb TTC support group aswell. Wishing you all BFP, hopefully we will all get our bundles of joy soon ☺️x

Sorry to hear that lovely! Our bodies don't half play tricks on us during this journey! Sending hugs 😘

Think I’m out! I’ve got some spotting and frer was a stark white negative. So annoying after all those positive signs!!

Morning all, I hope it’s okay if I join the chat. It’s my first cycle trying to conceive after a 4 month break following our 5th miscarriage.

I thought I ovulated on 4th January as I got my positive ovulation test on 3rd January and had cramps until the afternoon on the 4th. Ovulation test went lighter on 4th but still dark. I’d usually have a faint line on a pregnancy test by now (12DPO I think) is it possible I could have ovulated on 5/6th instead? I think I may be out this month but we DTD on all the right days and usually conceive quickly. Last night my stomach went very tight and I had cramps down below and frequent weeing but other than that nothing! Still testing negative at what I think is 12DPO

@MummyV2021 oh no ☹️ fingers crossed AF doesn’t arrive for you

Eek! Fingers crossed lovely! I've done a test this morning and stark white BFN... AF due tomorrow so think I'm out this time round

AF has not arrived so I’m now officially late, she never comes part way through the day but I’ll see. I’ve peed in a pot but terrified to dip the frer in for some reason 🙈 I’m 11DPO so I guess I’m not holding out much hope it’ll show anyway. Clear blue says I can do a digital test from today 😬 I’ll do the frer and see how things go.

Easier said then done but try not to worry.
there are many factors that effect the “darkness” of lines and i’ve heard the easy @ homes aren’t that accurate, hopefully the digital monday will be positive! good luck x

Morning gang - feeling a bit worried today as taken another test (easy @ home) this morning and my tests don’t seem to be getting any darker as the days go on. Took one last night/evening and it was darker than this mornings so feeling confused now! My plan was to wait until Monday (7 days past due AF) and take a Clearblue digital, but now I’m just worried I’m having a CP so not sure what to do ☹️

@Miffy1994 it’s worse isn’t it!! No idea why though 😂

Fingers crossed for your BFP, there’s still time!

Sorry to hear you got a BFN @MummyV2021. I’m also 12DPO and got a BFN this morning too. AF normally starts for me on 12dpo or cd28 and I’m on cd32 now… so definitely late and don’t know what is going on!
Hope you get your BFP soon too @SarahB88. I am also on mat leave with DD and it seems to have made the TWW longer! Also pretty desperate to have another this year so understand how you feel

@SarahB88 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow am.

@Tally89 I started bleeding on Monday with my CP and it seems to have slowed a lot now. I’m wearing a pad although don’t think it’s totally necessary. Hoping that things get back to normal soon as I just want to try again as soon as we can.

Sorry that you’re going through it too. It’s shit.

Ah OK thank you for sharing. This makes me feel reassured.

@Tally89 so sorry to hear about your CP ☹️ with my one last month I bled a couple of days extra than normal so 6 and it was consistently heavier than normal period. I started spotting very lightly on the 20th and then more on the 21st with full force coming 22nd lasting until 26th. Hope you’re doing ok x

@MummyV2021 thank you, and good luck to you too...... so hard isn't it. A total mindFck to be honest!! 😅

Sorry to hear about your CP... I'm pretty sure I had one last month (off the back of a MMC the following month 😖), and with the CP it was deffo heavier with clots and lasted around 6/7 days rather than my usual 5ish.
Hope it stops for you soon and you can move onto a fresh cycle!

@SarahB88 thanks lovely! Yes so hard not to compare! Just seen you got BFN too, really sorry! Sucks for us! But hopefully not for much longer!!

@Tally89 that can be quite normal lovely! I had one in December where I bled for 5 days (only heavy for the first day), stopped and then started light bleeding again 3 days later and that lasted another week! I went and got checked out just to be sure but they advised that unless it's super heavy or you're in pain then it's not normally anything to worry about
