January TTC Support Group 💚

Congrats @Clove31!
Thanks @SarahB88 and @Wisher88, think I’m normally 12dpo for AF but have had a weird month with late ovulation (probs due to stress over xmas) so we’ll see what happens. As I said though, found out with DD at 8dpo! Didn’t know you can get medication for it though so thanks for the heads up.

I'm so happy! My little rainbow baby on the way ❤️

It was my first, and on a bit of a whim. The previous cycle ended up being 30 days, so our time to DtD ended up being when MIL was staying, so we just had two very quick goes on evenings 15&16 so I really wasn't expecting it.
For my DD it took us 11M of trying so you can imagine my shock.

I’ve been the same and didn’t have it with my CP either! I feel pregnant so I’ll be really annoyed if AF arrives 😂 but if it does it does and we’ll go again. It’s just our second month. How many months have you been trying?

I've felt briefly nauseous a couple of times this week including this morning which I oddly like as it's reassuring to me.
When I had a chemical I never had nausea just cramps constantly.
At the moment I get the occasional cramp but when I move it usually ends up as a whopper of a fart 🤣 anyone else extremely gassy?!

@Miffy1994 are you sure your due on tomorrow? I have a short (but still “average”) LP at 11-13 days depending when I ovulate so it can be on the shorter side when I’m 11 days from what I’ve read. Anything under 10 you can get medication to help lengthen it but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it. But on the other hand, implantation can occur from 6DPO!

I’ve just ordered some FRER and digital clear blue tests from Amazon to use next week. If AF comes then at least I’ve got them in the cupboard for another month.

If you're only 8dpo but due on possibly tomorrow, wouldn't that mean you have a very short LP? I think it needs to be about 12 days?

I’m 6DPO today and I’ve got the most horrible spots today on my cheeks.
i usually just get one hormonal one on my chin, these are proper horrible ones! It’s all fun and games isn’t it?

Only 8dpo but did a test anyway as when pregnant with DD I got a squinter at this point. Absolute blank! Will have to be patient and try again in a few days. AF due either tomorrow or Tuesday (like you @ThisHangryTiger!) so we’ll see

Hmmm just following on my post just above, DTD just now and a little bit of red after. Would say it's far too early for AF, and I'm always ok after DingTD, so maybe it's implantation? That could be why I got a BFN? It's all a guessing game isn't it?!

Yeah that's probably true thank you that's very reassuring.

I just did another FRER and it's so much stronger than Tuesday (also featuring my very jazzy pyjamas)

9DPO and did a 6 day early test as AF is either due tomorrow based on 28 days or Wed based on 31. Absolutely blank 😔 suppose there's still a tiny chance but not looking likely. Will have to wait and see.

I would say 12/13dpo is still pretty early (same as me) 36 day cycle here ovulated cd24. I had a friend who much have ovulated late and she didn't get her positive until after her missed period.

The easy at home tests all look fairly faint on amazon reviews I looked as mine have progressed but still lighter than some other tests but that does seem normal foe them

Hi everyone - I was in this thread early on but had to dip out as was getting very emotional at everyone’s stories/announcements etc. around Christmas! Back now, CD31, 11DPO and expecting AF on Monday. Had some v light pink spotting today when I’ve wiped which is unusual for pre-AF, but did have this when I was pregnant with DS….

Trying to not get my hopes up, and still trying to resist testing until Monday!

Still sending you all baby dust and hope for more BFP to come! Happy to see many have had theirs already!

I'm unsure my dpo as I never tested.

My previous cycle was 30 days, but usually it's about 28, so it's hard to say. Today would have been day 30 of my cycle. I don't think I ovulated until day 17. We didn't DTD until evenings of 15&16. So l think today is probably 13dpo possibly only 12dpo?!

I have felt exhausted with all my other pregnancies but not too bad so far but only 12dpo (period was due today) I also see your tests above. I have those tests and have seen progression from 8dpo but they are not super dark. I got a good line on a clear blue today though. Have you missed your period or still testing early? It's hard to keep track on here sometimes.

If we have an early scan we would plan for around 8 weeks. My first pregnancy was a mmc at my 12 week scan but baby had stopped growing just after 6 weeks. The research we did suggested a scan at 8 weeks with a heartbeat there was a very good success rate

I feel very energetic today and to be honest yesterday too. Has anyone else experienced this in early pregnancy? With my daughter I remember being fatigued but that might not have been til later?

@Tally89 I had a CP last month, the same time that @MummyV2021 was having her MC ☹️ I also found that my period lasted longer with the CP and was much heavier. I was advised to only test again a week after the bleeding had totally stopped, if I even had a faint positive I was to call triage again and they’d get me in for a scan. Thankfully (strange to say that) my test came up negative. I didn’t test at all whilst bleeding other than a test when I started spotting, I still had a faint line but digital test came back with negative. I hope you get some clarity soon x

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story @MummyV2021 . So sorry to hear about your MC. I had one in June so I can empathise. The TTC is rough and we're all so strong honestly.

And yes, I did a test this morning and it's much lighter so I think this is most likely a chemical, but interestingly I've had the same as you with my period being longer than usual. Normally it stops after 3 days but I'm on day 5 now and still bleeding a bit.

@Wisher88 @Lavenderrose92 thank you both for coming back too. The nurse definitely seemed to think it's an ectopic or miscarriage, the likelihood of this being successful pregnancy in the end is unlikely, as I also didn't miss my period.

Omg same!!! Then I got a digital test a week later and it read 3-4 weeks! Really hope our dreams come true 🤞

I had loads of milky discharge yesterday which can be a sign of implantation. I had this with my daughter, very watery discharge then a gush of milky discharge for a day then back to watery and that seems to be what’s happening now so trying not to get excited as body could be playing tricks after last months CP. My back has also started to hurt a bit but I do get that in the lead up to AF sometimes so still a guessing game for me. I had a big overwhelming feeling of nausea this morning whilst playing with my daughter, I was physically sick on the day that she must have implanted so again another good sign that I also didn’t have last month with the CP but I know I’m just driving myself mad with this symptom spotting 🙈

7dpo today so I feel like I’m over the first week hurdle 😅 also had a dream last night that I had a positive FRER 🤞

Good luck! I'm sorry to hear you have had such a rough time. I had a MMC in June

Not sure if I ovulated this month or just missed peak when testing? Either way today is the start of the TTW 😬

nothing tends to be seen before 6 weeks, i think even private companies won’t scan before 6 weeks? but maybe some do

Top one is from today. When I first did it I wasn't sure if it was any darker but the photo looks stronger I think?
I feel like with my daughter around this time it was super super dark so feeling a bit paranoid.

Just counting down the days until about 7wks when I'll get a private scan.
