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. 🙂

Im a poas addict and have a big bundle of strip tests that arrived a few days ago. Im 6dpo and think I may see the faintest of lines like a real squinter. Is it even possible at 6dpo? Im not gona get my hopes up just incase its an evap or just rubbish tests. Im ttc no.3 since August when I had an early loss

Literally just about to comment the same situation lol. Been over testing massively only 6dpo and had 1 evap and one that's almost invisible but I'm convinced I can see something. Disappointed to say the least but it's my own fault and why you shouldn't test before lile 12dpo or something logical 😅xx

Im a serial tester and symptom spotter too, convinced my nipples are sore but I'm 3dpo so probably imagining it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Flying back to London from Australia on Wednesday and making myself stressed that it'll harm my chances in some way 😂 I'm sure it'll make no difference really though.

In 2024 I had a miscarriage and two chemicals, so it's been a rocky TTC journey so far but starting the new year with all the positive vibes!

I feel like this was a weird cycle as I ovulated super late, on CD23 which looking back at my history is unusual. Better luck for the next one !

Do I go on a different thread ? I should still have a fertile period in January still

Noo you can stay, we are all still trying at the same time and those who are further ahead can always share insight xx

Are you using the cheapies? If it works for you, then carry on ! :D

Yeah I'm so bad I get the 15per pack for 4.50 on amazon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤦🏽‍♀️ although I remembered that last time I was trying I also tracked cervical position not just CM soo I'm gonna do that again, because it's just allowed me to tweak some dates tbh

@LozElle @km9371 so glad to have company now ladies! Tww can be a nightmare. I’m really hoping to try not loose my head to much and symptom spotting 😂

So sorry to hear of your losses 😔 hope you’re in a better head place & sending positive vibes for this month 🤍

AF is here so I'm out for this cycle. Good luck to everyone ! :)

LozElle · 03/01/2025 14:01

@Mama09876 @km9371 👋 Hi Ladies, joining and replying as I seem to be very close in my cycle too! We are trying again for our first, after two losses last year. We took a little break to get back into the right head space, and feeling positive again ☺️

I got my peak on Wednesday, and had ovulation pains all day yesterday so I guess I am 1dpo today too! We managed Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday so hoping we've done enough 🤞 might try today too to cover all bases 🙈

I am a nightmare for symptom spotting, so going to try my best to stay distracted and zen - yoga and meditation on the cards for the next 2 weeks 😅

💫💫💫 best wishes to everyone this month! Hoping to see lots of bfps.

Mama09876 · 03/01/2025 13:16

km9371 · 01/01/2025 23:38

@Mama09876 ahhh lovely cycle buddies!!

We did Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - we're on holiday visiting the in laws and have been able to have lots of lovely alone time as my in laws are so good with our little one.

Saying that I think yesterday we should've dtd too but I just cba 😂😂

I hope this cycle is the one for us all!

That’s good going! We’ve been sort of ‘on/off’ trying for a few odd months but this year I want to focus on really trying. I think i might of been dtd to late, we were only covering the peak day on LH test and I think after months of LH testing, I think I ovulate pretty soon after my peak (just from the way I feel, dip in mood/energy etc)

So this month we managed Sunday & Wednesday. My app is saying I ovulate today and I got my peak LH test on Wednesday so I feel like ovulation was yesterday. (Very tired today and no energy) I'm saying 1 DPO! The TWW begins! 🙈

Really hope this cycle is the one! 🤞🏻

KittyFantastica · 03/01/2025 11:28

Morning @km9371 I'm CD18, 6DPO today. Had a temp plummet in my BbT chart this morning, so feeling a bit down. I never had a dip with my little boy's chart (who we lost in September) and it's very hard not to compare.

If AF doesn't arrive early, I'll probably test early next week as I've always had early positives, if any. When will you test?

BloomingOrchidea · 03/01/2025 11:07

YKM2829 · 03/01/2025 10:42

Ovulation only just finished for me really, AF due next Friday, so we will see i started off with 15 Ptests and now I'm down to 2 and it is still 8 days away 😅😅😅😅😅 i test way too much but I can't help it 😅🤦🏽‍♀️
