Hellloo.
Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January?
I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

@Mama09876 I'm going to try hold off until AF is due but can almost guarantee that if there's no spotting by Monday, I'll be reaching straight for the tests 😅

LozElle · 08/01/2025 18:36

I know the feeling! I really thought I would have better will power this month but it's all consuming 😅 I will have to keep myself busy this weekend!!

Flo has AF due the 16th for me but I have been spotting 3/4 days before AF recently. I should have some idea by Sunday/Monday and then I can stop torturing myself for 2 weeks 😆

Are you an early tester or will you hold out?

I start the tww with the best intentions then get to like 5 DPO and loose my mind 😂

I’m not sure why my app has me as the 17th cause I haven’t had a 31 day cycle in months! Is more like 26/27 days recently so if she’s not arrived by next Wednesday I’m testing!

I have tested early in the passed from around 10 DPO but to be honest it just wreaks my head with the ‘is there a line or not’ I love looking at other people’s tests just not my own 😂 too much anxiety.
So I’ll wait till what should be 12/13 DPO and test if af not arrived! I’ve got none in the house either so can’t be tempted 😂

will you test at the weekend?

Wednesdayonline · 08/01/2025 18:55

Is anyone else still not hit ovulation for January or just me? Should be this weekend!

I’m around 5/6dpo! & the symptom spotting has begun! I get annoyed at myself cause I know it’s to early but still it begins! 🙈

I’ve felt a little bit off today and having a few dull pains in groin but honestly could all be PMS for me too! I’m due any time next week. NC has 17th but that’s on 31 day cycle and mine have been much shorter recently.

Tentative congrats to all with lines 😊 very exciting! I am about 6dpo and really trying to remain patient. No symptoms of note except for bloating and irritability which I also flagged around the same time with my last 2 pregnancies that ended in MC. They are also classic PMS signs for me but usually happen later in the cycle 🤞

Anyone else symptom spotting? 🫣

Not long until you can test! Hope AF stays away for you
I am waiting for my fertile window at the minute so I'm just here, rooting for many more positive tests to be shared. Hope it'll be yours soon

@ThatSnugSwan those are clear lines! Happy for you x sending sticky vibes

YKM2829 · 08/01/2025 15:25

ThatSnugSwan · 08/01/2025 11:53

Cant quite believe it. Somehow I thought I was out because Ive always had Implantation bleeding in my pregnancies and nothing this time.

I'm thinking the same thing for myself tbh x

@YKM2829 I cant beleive it but I think I got my positive this morning at either 9 or 10dpo. Im almost too scared to believe it and now have the absolute fear because Ive lost a pregnancy before but right now I think these are positives

Oh what clear neat lines those are! Huge congratulations, let thar baby dust sprinkle all over us!

KittyFantastica · 08/01/2025 12:59

Thank you @Mama09876 @YKM2829 @Chattie89 I didn't even have to squint in person, it was such a shock. I was surprised by the FRER, but happy it was there at all.

Wishing you all the magic and luck ✨

Chattie89 · 07/01/2025 19:22

Can I join? 1st cycle TTC baby #2, I'm 35 and my little girl is just two. I think I'll be ovulating around the 20th.

@KittyFantastica I can see 3 lovely lines! 👏And my eyes are usually rubbish lol.

Good luck to everyone trying 💜

Hi everyone I would like to join I'm 36 and I've been trying since April 2023 multiple losses I've been on multiple ttc threads for what seems like forever I had a mmc in October and my cycle are 35 days. I'm hoping this is our month. NC app predicts ovulation 17th January I've promised myself I won’t test until Af is late. I've cyclogest pessaires to use if and when pregnancy confirmed in the right place.
Has anyone ever taken baby aspirin before to help chances?

Hello there and welcome
I hope you will find this a supportive grouo as you navigate your way through your journey
I am so sorry to hear of your losses. Ive heard of people taking baby aspirin yes although i havent personally. What does your gp think?
Baby dust to you and everyone else on the thread xx

Mine was stark white negative this morning 😞 Must of just been an evap or something. Dont think ill buy cheap tests again

Awwh I'm sorry, not to get your hopes up but more, I wouldn't rule out the cheap tests yet, I've seen on other threads women who use only 1 brand and will test multiple times a day and some will just show up more clear 🤷‍♀️ although, I too have has either nothing or the most invisible shadows ever, these were mine this morning 🙄
