January 2021 Thread

[Leah2501]

Hi,

Haven’t seen any threads for January so thought I would start a thread.
On cycle 2 of TTC baby number 2. I’m on CD 1 today. AF is due 23/01

Marking my spot! AF due 22nd of Jan so that's when I'll be testing!

Hi, I’ll be testing from 10th January. First cycle ttc first baby.

Testing from 2/1 at 14 dpo x

Second cycle TTc Second baby. 1st child is almost 9! 🙈next period due Jan 11th

Have indulged in way too much alcohol over Xmas and now worried it may affect things 😬 I read that it's fine to drink until the placenta forms but now second thinking it

@RHODXB
My three previous pregnancies were not planned, I only found out when my period was late and I had been drinking a fair amount each time as I had been at events. Everything was perfectly fine and it didn't cause any issues so I really wouldn't be too concerned, just cut down from here on out and all will be fine x

Oh god with my first I was drinking cocktails like nobody’s business and flew 12 hours never suspected I was pg as not trying. No problems at all. Obv once found out didn’t drink at all. Xx

@Leah2501 Can I join?

Also CD1. This will be cycle 6 after losing our wee boy halfway through my pregnancy back in July, hoping for a happier outcome soon 🤞

AF due 22nd so we're about the same! Going to try the SMEP method and see if that does the trick! x

Hi all, month 2 ttc and CD7. Last month was opk, bbt, and lots of stressing. We have decided to dtd every other day until my period is due, which is 18.1.21, no opk and trying not to symptom spot

Hi all,
I can definitely see a baby boom for 2021, all my friends are either pregnant or trying.
@KerryW87 what is the SMEP method?

@Leah2501 Definitely. My sister found out she was pregnant the day after my wee boy was born, my sister-in-law had her wee girl a few months later, my close friend and two co-workers are also now expecting...it's a lot. Hoping to join them again soon 🤞

I'd never heard of it either until another thread last month! It's basically as soon as AF stops then DTD every second day until you get a positive OPK, then 3 days in a row, wait a day then once more. I was reading success stories online and there were a lot, so figure it can't hurt! x

@KerryW87 I’ve just had a read up on it! Sounds good! Hubby is loving the TTC momentum, don’t think we would do this though as we’re not good at ‘planning’ DTD.

I think last month I got myself worked up during TWW, got stressed/excited over the thought of a positive at Christmas. Now I know that’s out the window I feel more relaxed going into this month. Although I’m sure I’ll be a bit on edge by the time the TWW comes around.
Last week I started testing from 10DPO. Need to try hold out for piece of mind next month.

Dtd yesterday and wanted to do again today as having what I think might be ovulation cramps but DH is not feeling well. Hopefully yesterday and tomorrow will be enough 🙏

Can I join! Our first time ttc will be testing from the 14/01

Hi everyone hope it's ok if I join. I had a miscarriage at the start of December at 8 weeks. Bleeding stopped around a week later and have been TTC since but unsure of ovulation dates. Done a few ovulation tests the last week and have been getting faint lines and a darker one today thought my period should be due next week if counting 28 days from miscarriage bleeding so it's confusing.
Finding this week tough as have seen alot of people I know announcing pregnancies over Christmas. We would have had our 12 week scan on Tuesday and telling people after so having a bad week. Hoping I can get pregnant again soon

Can I join. This is our 2nd proper month of ttc this time currently on CD 21 af due 4/1

@KerryW87 @Hopefulmummie so sorry to hear of your losses Hopeful - this may well be a longer cycle than "normal" given the circumstances xx

TTC #3 - started trying as soon as my cycle reappeared after having DS2, this is cycle 2. Will test on the 8th if AF hasn't shown up by then.
Have DS1 who is 3 and DS2 who is 15 months.

Cycle 1, AF 12/1.

TTC very enthusiastically past few days, thinking i ovulate tomorrow.

Baby no 3

Sorry about your MC. Its hard with dates as its natural to calculate as soon as you fall pregnant. X

AF just came ☹️ which means this cycle was only 23 days so slight worry there. Onto cycle 3 then!

Need some support. CD30 (usually 28 day cycle). BFN on internet cheapie (Wondfo). I have a FRER on order from Amazon coming tonight. M/C in April 2020, been TTC since July 2020 after M/C. Meant to have skipped December trying, lol.

Hi girlies! I'm also TTC. Testing on 19th Jan as due period then. Baby dust for us all

Hi everyone! Just checking in, ovulation day today 😬 kind of following the SMEP so DTD last night (got a positive OPK) and hopefully will again tonight (long day at work - won't be home until 9pm 😩) and again tomorrow! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
How is everyone else getting on?

Hey guys I'm new to the whole ttc thing and I've been getting some odd results on frer. Never had anything show up before and now there are the faintest of lines but I'm scared they're indents. Can anybody help?

Hey @Efin101 how many dpo are you? You could upload a picture so we can see?
