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

Thank you so much for the info! I would never have worked all those out! I'd just managed Ovulation Test Kit! I have a lot to learn, everyone seems so well prepared in their own cycle and ovulatio knowledge! My cycles are irregular so I'm not sure where I'm at, just lots of 'dtd'

@MiniBaker - I'm with you on taking a month off tracking too... I think reducing any kind of obsession with it might help me anyway. My OH is way more chill than me about it tbh, so he just does what he's told 😂
Let me know how it goes if you do it 😌

I do symptom spot too! My CM is a bit inconsistent ... I seem to get a bit of EWCM about 4/5 days before ovulation, then nothing until 2/3 DPO, which could either be what ever OH left behind (sorry TMI) or EWCM ... which is odd ...
I also seem to get sore boobs & feel bloated from 1DPO all the way up to AF ... so that's not helpful to me!
I also start getting twinges about 6/7 DPO, but I've given up thinking that's implantation now after months of just getting AF.
I get a massive bout of insomnia about 2/3 days before AF, so I always know when I'm out well in advance of it appearing.

Where are you at with speaking to friends and family about it? My BF knows as she started TTC about 5 months before more and was pregnant on her 6th ... i don't feel weird about speaking to her about it even though her bump gets bigger every day .... but my cousin surprised me with her pregnancy about a month ago & immediately told me to hurry up and have a baby (I literally wanted to scream). My mum brags about the high fertility in our family and how all the women just need to sneeze & they'll be pregnant. She decided that it mustn't be happening immediately for me because I'm too acidic down there due to stress (WTF?) ... I think a lot of people think they are being helpful, but sometimes I feel like I'm being inadvertently blamed for it. 🙄

Both of my younger sisters will start TTC this year (one in a same sex relationship) ... I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for their announcements potentially happening before me. I really want to be excited for them when it happens, so I'm trying to reset my head in advance!

@MiniBaker just re-read your post. Your OH seems very sweet & like he really wants to be a dad 💕 every other day in the window should be fine & I don't think it would hurt to take a month off tracking. Good luck xx

Has anyone ever had severe stabbing pains in their breasts that hurts to breathe in? I wasn't sure if it was breast pain or chest pain but my left breast was also very sore to touch (right one just a little). It went on all day yesterday and got worse going to bed. Then kept me up for a few hours a d gone this morning! They are just a little tender to touch now which is completely normal for me. It was like a sharp stabbing/shooting/zapping pain. Only way I can describe it 🙈

Hi! Myself and my husband (who I married last week 😃) are starting the process of TTC. Finished my BC on the 17th December so am currently ovulating. I used the clear blue ovulation kit and yesterday said I was high fertility, same this morning. TWW starts tomorrow. I’m not expecting it to happen straight away but let’s see what happens! Good luck to everyone starting their journey this year x

@Dogmum13 I had that exact same thing last night! Very strange, glad I'm not the only one xx

Happy new year to all you lovely ladies. Wishing you all the best for 2021 and lots of BFPs. Hope you all had nice Christmas'.

I'm currently 10dpo so might end up being on this bus twice this month xx

@blackcurrantqueen id try not to read too much into the line darkness - my last one was much bolder than I was anticipating at 10dpo, and became properly dark by my period due date, and I still blimin mc a week later at 5weeks! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I've also had LOADS of symptoms and turned out not to be pregs and had no symptoms and got a BFP! So the only thing I know for certain is my body plays tricks on me and nothing means anything! 🤣 Keeping fingers crossed for you xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking thank you! Xxx

Morning ladies AF arrived today for me so CD1 which means I am next due on the 31st Jan! Fingers crossed for a Jan BFP if I have to see my period twice in 1 month!! Lol Funny enough it's the first month I'm not bummed out, maybe as I totally let loose over Christmas and currently enjoying some brie 😋

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking really hope it's not COVID. Hope you feel better soon xx

@blackcurrantqueen welcome and congratulations!!! So exciting 🎉🎉🎉

@Rd123 congratulations on your recent nuptials 🎉🎉🎉

@Dogmum13 OMG yes I've had this and back in Nov it was so bad, I woke up hubby. My boobs were super tender this month though for almost all of the TWW! Fingers crossed you have better luck than me xx

@MgW1 did you get the Medicheck bloods? Which one did you go for in the end? Thinking to do the same but was stuck on which one to get. Thanks

@SparkyLauz @SunnydazeQ I always get tender breasts and sometimes even painful after ovulation but usually goes away just before af. 2 cycles ago it didn't go away so was convinced I was finally getting a bfp but no such luck so I'm not reading anything into any symptoms anymore lol

Does anyone have any knowledge about whether sex during the TWW can after implantation

Jumping on the thread late . OH and I are TTC #1 and this is our first month.

CD13 with a positive OPK this afternoon. Lots of fun tonight and next couple days!!!

Fingers crossed to everyone trying!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Sorry your not feeling too great , i have been wiped out too with this anemia. Really tired todayand dont feel like I have had a restful night sleep. Early night and see how I feel tomorrow , if any worse I may need to go for a test 😔 i am on 3dpo xx

Hi Everyone,

I'm completely new to this & I had my contraceptive implant removed in Dec 2020 so since then my husband & I are trying to conceive our first child🤞🏽🤞🏽. I haven't had my period yet & not sure when it's due because the implant has different effects on different women when it's been removed. It's comforting to read about different people's experiences & I hope I'm fortunate enough to get pregnant soon 🤞🏽.

@Annabelle0852 we’re planning the same time! I’m CD 14 with high fertility on my clear blue OPK and yesterday! Gonna try one again this evening to see if I can get Peak fertility, I can actually feel the ovulation pains..Lots of BD, we can take a break after Ovulating 😂

@MgW1 sorry to hear you're feeling rotten. It literally screwed me. No other symptoms but so fatigued I've barely been able to get off sofa and when we went for a walk on the 30th, I literally had to go to bed when I got in. As I said, could well have just been hormones but a friend tested positive with zero symptoms, as did my cleaner the week before so got me questioning! I'm fine now so no idea 🤷‍♀️ Hope you're feeling better soon xx

@Rd123 Oh how exciting! Cycle buddies 😄

I'm just using amazon cheapies at the mo and it's first month trying so not got the hang of all this yet... not sure on my high fertility versus peak... I just know the test line was darker than control so now the OH is locked in the bedroom for the next few days!!!! 😂😂 He can rest after!!

Good luck!! 🤞🍀

@Rd123 it’s quite exciting at the moment! Hopefully it won’t turn into a chore as OH is having the time of his life 😂 you should get the clear blue ones I think it’s around €25/€27 in Ireland not sure where u are but it comes with 10 ovulation sticks too! If you’re a day behind me get BD as you’d be high now anyway.. let me know how u get on with everything x

@Annabelle0852 I just replied to myself 🙄 see above comment! Dunno how to delete x

Hi ladies,

Hope you don't mind me joining. This is my first proper month TTC. I had my first BFN today but that was to be expected, we didn't really try last month, just had sex roughly around when I thought I might ovulate but this month will be doing ovulation tests. Fingers crossed!
