Hoping for BFP's in January! New year; new start! Who's with me!?

[Hopingforarainbow27]

Hi everyone. Hope you can join me!

@claremc1983 aww I feel for you I had 3 weeks off after mine so totally understand I was fine but 2 weeks ago I had an email from HR asking to set up a meeting as I'm not far off third trimester and they want to sort my maternity 🤬 I was so upset and my manager really went crazy on them as he'd told them multiple times what happened. Apart from that though all has been good, don't feel bad for taking time off you need to feel ready to go back 💕💕

@DeviousImp17 I wish I could be as chill as you, all those signs sound promising though got my fingers crossed for you

😂 I make sure to get up and wee in the morning. I only want to test on FMU. So I can’t test until the next day. I’m also waiting for Amazon to deliver some FRERs because I found them reliable with my daughter. I didn’t get a positive on a CB digital until I was almost a week late. I don’t have cheap ones at home. I’m also planning around the idea that I’m not pregnant.

Hi Ladies,
I wanted to post over Christmas but got distracted, my ovulation day seemed to be Christmas eve so was trying to DTD in the small window we had availability, though still managed the same amount of times as last month.
Then I got covid so have been feeling very sorry for myself.
Now in the long wait which is just the worst thing, as I can't go out and keep busy with isolating so just got to try and find things round the house!
Hope you're all OK and are all edging closer to your BFP 😊 xxx

@DeviousImp17 that's a good idea! I was the same nothing showed up on digital for a while, hopefully you are pregnant

@DeviousImp17 that's such a good idea! I think I will cave and order some FRER's soon too 🥴

I caved! It was BFN. So! Just waiting for AF to show up. I’ve made an appointment at the GP to understand why I had mid cycle spotting.

1dpo here, we DTD five times from 27-29th, a new approach for us, brought on by circumstance, hope it works?!

I have been temping this month and have decided it's an utter waste of time. The temps are all over the place (e.g. today supposedly plunged to my lowest temp whole cycle, five mins later went high again, five mins after that, much lower again), and it is causing me sleeping issues. I keep waking up before my 'temp time,' worried that I've missed my 'temp time.' But then I'm wide awake so I have to temp! Don't think I will be bothering temping next month.

Anyone else 1dpo?

@Decaffe Omg I am also temping for the first time this month and I am HATING it. I feel exactly the same as you. I'm paranoid waking up in the night and temping to then check the time and it's 3am. Then being unable to get back to sleep or waking up and going to the loo thinking it's 3am whereas actually it's 6.30am! Aaaargh.

I'm 7dpo today. I have zero symptoms apart from a lot of (sorry!) creamy discharge.

@arianasky thanks! Omg can't believe they sent you that email...that's shocking..I think by the time I go back I will of had about 5/6 weeks off....never been off for so long before. It's v strange xx

I know @claremc1983 it was so upsetting, I don't blame you if I could've had more I probably would've but I felt guilty as I was off for 6 weeks with HG when I was pregnant

I hear you! I've been waking up at 5am with a start, and automatically reaching out to my thermometer! I am sure it's not doing me any good!

Hello. I've been having cramps since 6dpo and insane leg pains.

My husband suggested to take a test yesterday (7dpo). I told him no because I am POAS freak 😅 and he said why not. Long story short, I've used 2 already 😭😂

Both negative of course but we will see, there is always hope 😊

Oh the guilt @arianasky it's constant isn't it. We need to care less about stuff like this but it's hard not to..x

Can I join? This is cycle one of trying to conceive baby 2. I checked my app and I think I ovulated 2 days ago, next period is due 8th January.

@AlmostLondoner I'm 7dpo! One day behind you and I am finding it hard to resist the urge to test. I almost don't want to know at all!!!

I've just spent the last hour watching The Great Sperm Race Ch4 documentary, blimey it's a wonder the human race is still going!!

I have also been temping for the first time @Decaffe and @aesgriff and using Fertility Friend to track it, I also found it stressful and confusing and was all over the place but got a bit more into it now. I find FF helpful as I can hide anomalous ones (eg where I woke up too early or accidentally walked around before temping). I do think it's been useful as I probably ovulated a day later than I had thought (28th rather than 27th).

BTW would definitely recommend getting fertility friend - loads of useful stuff in there!

Better at tracking my CM now as well. If I'm not successful then next on the list will be checking my cervix... Tried a couple of times this cycle but it always just felt the same 😅

@totoAnnihiliation snap, my periods due the 8th too. This is cycle 6 ttc and I've not tested early before, always just waited for AF to inevitably show up so think I'll do the same this month. Good luck to you :). My ovulation was supposed to be xmas day but was delayed until the 27th (maybe random or maybe because I had my booster jab and covid in the 2 weeks before). Just hoping we dtd enough because we managed 22nd, 24th, 26th and then early hours of the morning on the 27th (basically when we went to bed at midnight) but havent managed since with house guests and such

@aesgriff isn't it awful? I wish it was easier 🙄🙄

@Decaffe I'm finding temping really stressful too, I keep waking at odd hours so don't think it's so accurate at the moment, I'm hoping when I'm back at work after Xmas it will get better as I'll be back in a routine. It's helpful for me though as I keep having false alarms with ovulation, my body keeps trying and giving me all the signs but temp tells me otherwise - I'm not long off the pill so hoping things will calm down soon.

Well didn't get to BD last night as DP wasn't feeling well 😫 but woke up to creamy CM this morning (sorry!) And had ewcm yesterday and a few days prior so pretty sure I've o'ved. DTD 20th, 21st, 24th and 27th so hoping that's enough. He's felt better today and gone to work so might be able to snag him tonight to he safe apps predicting ovulation for me today so I'll just go off today for dpo even though I'm certain I already have. Hoping everyone else starts getting their BFPs soon 🤞

Hello ALL!

Hopping on from Dec post. TTC with number 3, had a MC 2 months ago. Haven’t felt like I have OV at all but now my period is a day late. Nipples becoming a little sensitive.
It might be that my cycles are still all over the place but I had intense cramps over Xmas Day/Boxing Day.

One thing I am concerned about is the stitch like pain i have on my left side. It doesn’t go away AT ALL!
