Marking my place in the new thread!! Thank you @BubsNumber2inTheMaking 😊

Happy New Year ladies!! Wishing us all BFPs this cycle 🎉🎉🎉🎉😘🤗

sunshineandshowers3 · 31/12/2020 13:45

Thanks @BubsNumber2inTheMaking for starting the thread! TTC baby no #1 since April. I’m 28 and my DP is 30. The past two months when AF has arrived two different friends have told me they were pregnant. Happy for their news but just wishing we had our own to share ❤️.

Sending lots of positivity and that we will definitely get our BFP’s.

Any words of wisdom from anyone would be greatly received!

Dogmum13 · 31/12/2020 15:03

Hi 🙂 I'm hopping over too 😁 I'm sad it hasn't happened for me this year but optimistic that this is our year! 💪

I'm 4dpo, where is everyone else in their cycle?

MgW1 · 31/12/2020 15:26

Making my mark on here
Think im ovulating today. Not done a opk this month but few cramps on one side and ewcm. Happy New year to you all, i booked an impulsive holiday this a.m for june , its lifted my spirits today 😎😘 xx

Lottiebugz22 · 31/12/2020 18:37

Hey everyone. Jumping over from the festive bus Grin period is due 12th Jan! Cycle is 26/25 days usually. No idea when I ovulate as I am currently going off Ewcm which I had on CD day 8, 11 and 13. DTD CD 8, 10 and 11. No cervical mucus and cervix is high and like the tip of my nose so I am assuming ovulation has occurred?! My Cycle 2 of trying.

Soexciting · 31/12/2020 19:33

Hi guys. AF due tomorrow two bfns today including a frer so jumping on here ready for cd1 on 01/01.

Good luck to us all

sunshineandshowers3 · 31/12/2020 19:38

Hi all, happy New Year’s Eve! 🎉 how long have you all been ttc? 8 months here! Finding MN very useful and uplifting. Not really told anyone we’re trying so having this is a great outlet x

Sparkles512 · 31/12/2020 21:05

Happy New year ladies!
Fingers crossed we all get the BFP we dream of 🤞

33Carr · 31/12/2020 21:42

Making my place on so many of these haha! CD1 for me today! Testing on the 23rd of Jan!

Just sneaking in and parking my butt Grin

Chica1990 · 01/01/2021 08:00

Feeling deflated, thought I would be pregnant at this time after TTC since July 2019 😩

MiniBaker · 01/01/2021 09:21

Just joining the new thread. Feeling positive that 2021 is going to be the year. AF due tomorrow but I can feel it about to start today, with the slightest pink tinge when I wipe and watery CM but I know what that means. I am gutted as we did SMEP this month, I had a week off work and I started acupuncture and taking vitamins again.. but I guess it’s not to be just yet. Roll on Cycle 10 for me. Happy New Year everybody 🥳 Feel so grateful to have MN for emotional support and advice xxx

sunshineandshowers3 · 01/01/2021 09:54

@MiniBaker Cycle 10 twins together 🙏🤞🙏. It can and will happen for us all! ❤️ Hope you’re wrong about AF, although I know how annoying that is to hear when you just know yourself it’s coming.

My DP (bless him, he means well) always says “it might not be your period”, but after 18 years of having them you get used to knowing when it’s starting don’t you 😩.

Onwards and upwards - 2021 will be our year!

How did you find SMEP? Quite draining or okay? Have you ever DTD more than once a day?

MamaPheebz · 01/01/2021 10:13

Soo... can anyone else see this?
It is more visible in real life and I’m only 8dpo!

@sunshineandshowers3

I was just saying to him that I can’t explain exactly how I know it’s coming but I just do it’s a very specific feeling down there and my CM changes and this is the limbo that I hate the most because I’m just at that point where your hope has just gone but there is a teeny tiny glimmer as the full AF hasn’t actually started. Do you know what I mean?

I actually found SMEP a lot easier than our usual strategy of DTD every day leading up to ovulation. I definitely prefer every other day as we’re both more up for it by having the day break. I do like roughly knowing when I’m ovulating as well by using the LH tests, as then if we don’t do it one day I don’t worry that we’ve missed the right time.

Haha very very rarely more than once a day 😂 Not since we first met 8 years ago!

I’m sure it’s my stress about getting pregnant holding me back because I want it so much. I don’t know what to do to relax about it though I just can’t get over the barrier. Really trying to stay positive though. It’s a new year and a fresh start! xxx

MamaPheebz · 01/01/2021 10:15

I’ve got a really faint line or a FRER as well but that’s not visible in a photo. So faint! I feel like I might blink and it will disappear!

BrightonR · 01/01/2021 11:44

Can I join too? This is our second month of TTC #1. AF came Christmas eve (a wonderful present!). I am using Flo to track my cycles hut only had the coil out in November so I am not really sure yet when I ovulate. Going to just try to DTD as often as we can and cross fingers.

Let's hope that we have lots of Jan BFPs!

InTheLibrary · 01/01/2021 11:56

First month of TTC #1. CD15. I think I ovulated on CD13, but I didn’t catch it on a OPK. DTD on days 9, 11 and 13 so we shall see!

gracie2307 · 01/01/2021 13:07

Happy new year ladies! 🍾 🥂 Thanks for setting up @BubsNumber2inTheMaking. Jumping over from festive bus. TTC baby no 1, this is my seventh cycle now.

I am Cd14 today started getting my high fertility readings on CB OPK 3 days ago. Im worried it will go the same way as last cycle and I'll end up with loads of high fertility days but a very late peak. Still doing SMEP. Had ovulation pain a few days ago and increases CM. Im taking the sticks out and looking at the lines (thanks for the good tip @SunnydazeQ! Smile) and the test line doesnt appear to be getting any darker. Its all very confusing 😕 I just hope we are covering ourselves with SMEP and DTD every other day xx

gracie2307 · 01/01/2021 13:09

@MamaPheebz I can see the line!! 🤗🤞 was that with FMU? Xx

MamaPheebz · 01/01/2021 14:25

@gracie2307
Hi! Yes fmu! Hubby is making me wait until Sunday before I’m allowed to test again. Just praying the line gets darker! After 2 miscarriages in the past 5 months, we are so ready for a healthy sticky one!

MgW1 · 01/01/2021 14:25

@gracie2307
I think im 1dpo , dtd 3 times this week and had enough! Too much food and wine 🤪 . I have stopped using opks. Just go with your body, pains and increased cm means you have ovulated 👍🏻sounds like you need a rest after all that smepping!!
Happy new year xxx

Small1607 · 01/01/2021 14:30

10/11 dpo I think, BFN yesterday but still feel nauseous and have had on/off cramp/pain on one side since ovulation. Been trying on and off for a year and a half now. Cycles vary so not sure when AF due, soonest will be sunday/Monday based on previous cycles! Good Luck to everyone x
