January baby also means Christmas pregnant which isn't ideal! Though possibly middle-end of January birthday is better than Christmas bday.

I'm 13dpo now but only got 2 strip tests left so trying to wait for my period to come rather than testing. I used about 20 tests during my miscarriage "so they didn't go to waste" and regretting that now!

It’s definitely swings and roundabouts with these couple months isn’t it? We decided we didn’t want to loose the couple of months of trying, even if it isn’t ideal I’m still finger crossing hard 🙏

you’ve got so much willpower holding out to 13dpo, so you’re 14dpo today?? How do you feel?? When is af due?

@Muddysocks1 I can totally relate to this 🤗. We have been trying for a long time and I am trying not to think about it but it's hard to ignore. I do have a son from a previous marriage, so the GP thinks that the issue maybe on hubby's end. I am so nervous about his tests next month...

@BerrieSweet thank you for your kind words sweetheart ❤️ You both are still so young and you do have good genetics 👌 I really belive you will have news for us soon. 🤞 We will support each other 🤗

It’s tough! Hope good news from the tests 🤞🏻

@Muddysocks1 fingers crossed for your BFP this month. And that's great about the weight loss 👏🏻
I'm happy enough for a December baby but I don't want a January baby so I'll be more relaxed next month if it doesn't happen this month 😂

im exactly the same! Excited by the prospect of a pre Christmas baby. But not excited by a mid January baby. Poor kid being born in the month when everyone is jaded and broke 😂 x

Butterflygirl23 · 04/04/2025 13:37

My strips are still really light but I’ve had CM this morning so I’m hoping it’s the start of my fertile window. I usually get CM for about 2/3 days before I ovulate so I think it’ll not be till around Monday/tuesday but il still keep testing over the weekend. Hope everyone is getting on ok

can I ask a question about LH levels.... premom has me ovulating over the weekend (originally it did say thurs/fri) but my LH levels are really low compared to this time last month, so it is now saying I could be delayed this month. Should I be concerned? sorry if this is a dumb question.. I'm a newbie to all this. Is it normal for LH levels to fluctuate month to month. If anything, my LH levels seems to be going down rather than up!

I wouldn’t worry too much looking back at my previous cycles I’ve had a mix of gradual rise into peaks and peaks that come out of no where.

Also don’t know about anyone else but I’m using the whole Christmas baby thing as a reason to not feel as much pressure about this one month. Or that’s what I’m telling myself at least 🤣

OP posts:
Muddysocks1 · 04/04/2025 08:00

It’ll happen @BerrieSweet and all ❤️
It’s been over a year for me although I think a few months we didn’t BD in fertile window for various reasons, I’m not allowing myself to count the cycles because I worry that’ll make me worry more. husband is going to have a sperm test at the gp.

My temperature has gone up the last 2 days but tested with FMU and BFN today (9DPO). Could still change but it feels less likely. On the plus side I’m trying to lose weight and my weight was slightly less on the scales this morning so that’s something!!

@BerrieSweet ah sweetie, thank you for always being so supportive, and you always find something nice to say to everyone 😍
If this is going to be your 5th cycle trying, please try not to stress (I know it's hard) If you are under 35 and you have been trying under 12 months it is considered nornal. But do the testing, perhaps it will help you to stop worrying. Sending big hugs 🤗 BTW my husband also has a sperm test but in May. It's too long to wait aaaah 😫

Almost teared up reading this, I know this deep inside but It hits different when someone else says it 🥹❤️ I just keep wondering about why It’s not happening to me and everyone else gets lucky getting pregnant their first try. I’m 23 and my mum got pregnant on accident with all her four kids (lol) so I think I have good genetics, my DP is 34 so a bit older. All the tests are planned next cycle so It will be a big relief regardless the result when we get them. I’m praying so hard for us, you seem so nice as well! ❤️ May is close now!! I’m thinking about you and crossing fingers for us and everyone in this thread!!🩷

jelliebean9 · 03/04/2025 19:42

I think I’m 6dpo today. My nipples are starting to really hurt. Which isn’t a usual PMS thing for me. But I did have very sore boobs when I was pregnant with my son in the TWW. I’m still not counting it though as it’s still far too early 😂 I’m sure it’s normal hormones! Keep telling myself I’m not pregnant so I’m less disappointed by the bfn 😬

jelliebean9 · 03/04/2025 19:39

@PeaSar93 congratulations!!

AlbatrossSociety · 03/04/2025 16:53

We're cycle twins!

Midnight00 · 03/04/2025 16:16

@Butterflygirl23I’m also due to ovulate in the next few days. Trying to BD as much as possible and hoping this will be our month

Muddysocks1 · 03/04/2025 16:04

PeaSar93 · 03/04/2025 13:37

I’m 14DPO and ive got quite a dark second line now but I’ve been needing to pee every half an hour since 8DPO so don’t give up hope 🥰

Ooh ok promising!! And congratulations 🥳

Butterflygirl23 · 03/04/2025 14:20

We are all mostly looking like we will ovulate around the same time how exciting!

@SureLookyou’ve timed it right then 😂

SureLook · 03/04/2025 14:18

@Butterflygirl23 I'm waiting to ovulate too! I think Saturday by the looks of things. We're away for the night so hopefully there will be lots of BD 😂

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 03/04/2025 14:11

Butterflygirl23 · 03/04/2025 12:23

Is anyone waiting to ovulate or are you all mostly in the TWW? I’ve tested my lh level again this morning and it’s still barely visible so I’ve definitely got a few days to go. I know your surge can come on so quick so im hoping this weekend il see a progression! Still trying to DTD much as possible just in case

I'm waiting to ovulate, too! Unfortunately it's due when I'm away next week with toddler and other family ha!

PeaSar93 · 03/04/2025 13:37

Muddysocks1 · 03/04/2025 11:48

8DPO and need to pee constantly, was the same yesterday. I know that is a common early sign but also maybe I’ve just been drinking more as it’s been sunny!

Ah @MayaBit is so so hard. Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. I hate watching the months go by, with no pregnancy. I’ve been doing this on and off for four years now and I don’t want to wait any longer! How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m downhearted too, today. All tests negative today at 7DPO.

Hi @Roxanna2000 how are you doing, lovely? Did you test again? 🤗

We are old lol This is why I am stressing so much. However, my tests were perfect and also I have been pregnant twice before on the 1st try (with my ex-husband). Now happily married again and we have had no luck for 14 months of ttc. The doctor suggested hubby to get tested since he is the one who's never had children (so no proven fertility) and never been tested before. His bloods came out great but semen analysis is booked for May. I don't know what else to do...May seems so far.

2Sugars2 · 03/04/2025 12:54

@Butterflygirl23 I'm in the same boat as you. my LH levels are still pretty low, but I think I will ovulate at the weekend. Premom has it down for Saturday. I am currently CD 13 and last month my peak was around CD15 but it came and went in a flash. I'm going to have to try and test in the day tomorrow when I'm at work which isn't ideal!

Muddysocks1 · 03/04/2025 12:39

AlbatrossSociety · 03/04/2025 11:59

I had this last month. I was in a training course and absolutely chugging water to try and keep myself alert and then needing to pee every 30 mins and convinced myself it was an early sign. TWW IS A BUGGER. Fingers crossed that it actually is a sign for you 😂😂

Oh no!! Gah it’s so hard isn’t. Part of me has an inkling maybe it’ll happen this month.. but then it probably won’t 🙈 I’ve got an appt booked to see the gp so that’s giving me some hope as at least the start of a plan

OP posts:
Butterflygirl23 · 03/04/2025 12:36

That gives me hope lol when i tracked mine in December after my first miscarriage my tests were light too then the next morning so positive and went back to light by the evening so i guess my surges are quick too. I don’t think il ovulate until Tuesday/ Wednesday too around CD17/18 x
