Happy New TTC Bus - Jan 2021 - it's going to be a corker!

[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Thought I'd kick this off...

CD 7 for me following 2nd mc 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ready to kick the new year off with a bang (not literally, sorry husband), and get a blimin bun in the oven already!
Come on ladies, let's get each other through this. BFP's coming our way soon I just know it 😘💪🙌xx

@SadieSazzle I agree on the pressure front! Isn’t it just? Gives me so much hope ❤️.

Have you tried different things each month? I’ve been putting it off but I think this month we’ll try pre-seed! x

@sunshineandshowers3 think we have tried pretty much everything 😂 but I'm in the more chilled out 'what will be, will be' mindset again. It might not happen for me so I'm trying not to put extra pressure on myself. I have been my own worst enemy in the past so being kinder with myself now...its taken me long enough! Ha!

Been tired and was sick yesterday so finally got the courage to test, still in shock!

@PandaFamilyDS Massive congratulations, how many days dpo are you? Xx

@LauraDanxx Thank you!! I am not sure really because I have irregular cycles and the average length is 41 days! Tested today on cycle day 36 xx

@PandaFamilyDS Did you have any other symptoms? Xx

@LauraDanxx About a week ago for two days I had bad AF like cramps but it never came, and my breasts feel a bit tender to touch xx

@PandaFamilyDS
Fantastic news 🧡
That’s the boldest line I’ve ever seen !!!
Congratulations lovely. How are you feeling?? You must be over the moon! How long were you TTC? Any tips? Xx

Congratulations @PandaFamilyDS ❤️ another BFP for this thread!

Yes any words of wisdom/anything you did differently this cycle would be greatly received! 😊

Congratulations @PandaFamilyDS Lovely news! 🤗

Thank you @Sar1010 @sunshineandshowers3 and @SadieSazzle!! I am very happy but a bit shocked as I hate to say this but it was my first month actively trying! With my first (ex partner) it took me months of trying, ovulation tests, conceive plus, both taking vitamins etc so I was fully prepared to go through that again.

I will say that I made sure to try the day when I felt what I thought were ovulation pains. Also, the month I used conceive plus with my first was month I got my BFP!
I hope you all have the same luck too 🤞🏻Xx

Morning Ladies,

So I have just done a test 12dpo. What do you think? X

@LauraDanxx yes I see it!! Congratulations 💜 🧡

@PandaFamilyDS that’s brilliant!!

@LauraDanxx I think that’s a BFP too! Congratulations!! 💖 how are you feeling?

@PandaFamilyDS thank you, will do another test tomorrow. Waiting for FRER tests to arrive. Just feeling nauseous and sore boobs. X

@Sar1010 thank you x

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post on here ever! I have always been a lurker on these threads and always looking for answers on old ones! Wondering if I'm in the right place? We had a missed miscarriage at the start of the month and are back to TTC. Really needing some advice before I tear my hair out with ovulation tests!! X

Late joiner to the Jan bus so might need to jump on Feb bus as just starting 2ww but lovely to see so many BFPs here. Congrats!

This is our 3rd month TTC and I was trying to be really chilled but caved yesterday and did OPK on what app said was ovulation day and nada so now kicking myself didn't do them earlier to know for sure. We DTD enough last week to give a chance though so fingers crossed! Not enough to distract from 2ww in lockdown though.. I'm going to try some online yoga now to relax a bit. Is anyone else in 2ww now?

@PrettyPinkPansies it's hard to know when to start after MMC isn't it. I can't say I know much about OPK but I think ideally you start around cd10 and see how levels change to spot a spike. (Not how I did with a one off negative!) Happy to be corrected though.

Thank you!

I've been doing them since CD11 and have been getting flashing smiley on clear blue digital for 10 days!!! Surely not normal!

@PrettyPinkPansies hello! And welcome... this is a lovely little thread. Well I would say if clear blue has been flashing for 10days then maybe there’s still some HCG that needs to come out. (Apologies I don’t have all the right terms). I had a MMC last year and it took one cycle to get back to normal. But to be honest I wasn’t doing OPKs I was just taking pregnancy tests and waiting for the line to fade.
Sorry to hear you’ve gone through that, it’s really tough! But it sounds like you’re not letting stop you which is an excellent mindset to be in ❤️
My advice would be to enjoy dtd this month but be prepared that it might not be this cycle and if it turns out it is then bonus!!

@Sar1010 thanks for the reply! I've bee. Getting negative tests for quite some time now, since CD12. I didn't start getting flashy until CD14, which is a rise In oestrogen I think? All the cheapies have been negative too. Not sure when I will ovulate, at all? I don't want to give up we've been DTD since bleeding stopped but don't have much hope x

Welcome @PrettyPinkPansies ! Are your pregnancy tests negative? It took me a good 2 weeks to get a negative test and then levels of hcg seemed to make my opks positive for a good week afterwards. I don't think I actually ovulated that first month after. I've just had another mc (much earlier) on Christmas Day and I'm still not 100% sure I ovulated this month as a result. I had a couple of potential signs but think it was just my body trying to ovulate...not convinced it was successful. Waiting for AF now so we can start again and hopefully be nice and fertile for Feb! 🤞🤞🤞x

@PrettyPinkPansies sorry - realised I've posted a duplicate of what @Sar1010 said 🤦🏼‍♀️

@PandaFamilyDS and @LauraDanxx huge congratulations on your BFPs!!! So happy for you both 💜 xxx
