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

[Hopingforarainbow27]

Hi everyone. Hope you can join me!

@arianasky

This is how I'm going to surprise my fiancé tonight, the black line on the decoration is mine and DP's name and engagement date so I've hidden that part.. I'll light the candles when he's due to come in

Oh I love it!! Let us know how it goes @arianasky

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great time last night and let’s hope 2022 is our year

3dpo here. Nothing to report expect my left leg is sort of… well not painful.. just sort of very mild twinges that I probably wouldn’t normally pay any attention to?!

Hi,

Hoping you guys might be able to offer some advice/hope! I’m cycle 10 of ttc #1 currently cd 17. I’ve been using opk’s on and off over the 10 cycles and never had a ‘peak’ tried all different brands and never had a dark line, only ever got flashing smileys on the clearblues. Was hoping this would be our month but yet again no positive opk. Do they just not work for me or could something else be going on?

Thanks

@monkeyjocks that’s brilliant, congratulations! That line is the stuff of dreams

Hi @Miniadventurer
My friend fell pregnant eventually and she never got a positive OPK so it could be that your surge is so quick and short that you aren’t catching it. I would suggest taking your BBT each morning instead as this will hopefully confirm ovulation and you’ll be able to pinpoint the day.

I think I ovulated about 3 days ago and I've had constant back ache and period-like cramps, I know it's way too early to be anything but can't help thinking it's out of the ordinary?

Congrats @monkeyjocks - what a wonderful line! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months ahead 💕

Not entirely sure, but sounds similar to what some with PCOS may experience?

@Tor88 @Tryingforthefirst hey ladies, will you still be testing today? Best of luck to you 💕

@arianasky how gorgeous! Do let us know how he reacts 🥰

Hi everyone, it's been some years since I've been on here but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light for me on my situation or might have similar experience? As I'm feeling a bit lost right now...
I had a bfp on pink dye and blue dye tests on Dec 27th, on 28th evening I started to bleed. It led to a very heavy bleeding for 2 days, its now subsided and had bloods done on the first day of bleeding and hcg was

To the ladies who already have their BFPs, did you notice any difference to how you usually feel during the TWW?

I don't know if I'm being super pessimistic as I only DTD once in my FW and that was 4 days before I O'd. Every cycle I 'feel' like I'm pregnant and catch all these symptoms only to get a BFN. This time around, I feel nothing. No symptoms or feeling but I just had a very vivid dream where I got my BFP and told my brother and all you lovely ladies on MN and was preparing to tell DP. Only to wake up and realise I haven't tested so don't have my BFP yet 😂

AF due around 4/5 and I don't feel anything. Wondering if I'm still in with a chance? 😅

@arianasky @ThePodParent @monkeyjocks @madeleine85

@arianasky that looks so lovely!

@monkeyjocks congratulations! ❤️

Cycle 5 ttc... Ovulation was due today so now in my tww... Still going to tdt just in case as not been monitoring as closely this month... 🤞🤞

Whyyy am I finding myself tearing up DS's cartoon 🤦‍♀️

@ttcbabya I got my BFP 2 days ago ☺️☺️☺️ I put a post on here (it's so busy on the thread so easy to miss!) where I listed all my symptoms for anyone interested! Feeling v lucky and sending everyone baby dust 💕💓

@arianasky @ThePodParent @monkeyjocks @madeleine85

Definitely a chance! I had a positive after a weird dream (and no symptoms) with my first

@Miniadventurer how often are you testing with CB OPK's? When I get the flashing smiley I test three times a day

@Curlywurly3 I test once a day at the same time everyday when I used clearblues I had flashing smiles for 5 days then lows again.

Oh sorry hun, I didn't catch it! That's so amazing. Congrats @Tor88 💕 as always, wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

I'll try to find your post to catch up on your symptoms.

So many BFP's already in this thread, it really gives me such a buzz seeing you ladies so thrilled to get yours. It keeps me going whenever this journey gets too hard for me 💕

@ttcbabya During my TWW with my daughter I felt nothing until about 11dpo, when my chest got really sore and I felt hungover in the mornings - tested positive at 13dpo. Then this time I was like ‘I’ll know if I’m pregnant even without a test’ as it was a pretty specific feeling last time (🤢). But this time was completely different - evening nausea at 7dpo-10dpo, an occasional cramp, some heartburn, occasional waves of ‘I could fall asleep standing up’ tiredness and then this last couple of days I feel fairly normal again, which I’m hoping isn’t a bad thing!

So it’s been completely different with two pregnancies in the same body… which makes me think that anything goes! So 🤞🏼 for you! xx

@NCNCoohlalaaa ahhh this makes me happy, gives me that glimmer of hope!

I've been quite "good" this cycle and resisted my urge to POAS but I literally did now. It's about a 4HH and a Poundland cheapie and I'm not due AF for a few days yet so as can be expected - BFN. I think all the BFPs got me too excited lol

@ThePodParent two completely different experiences! So literally anything goes lool thanks for sharing - I'll be patient and wait to see if or when AF decides to show up haha

Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy, must be so exciting 💕

@ttcbabya I've had nausea last 2 days that comes and goes randomly and it's a slight nausea but reminds me of that hungover queasy feeling. I have stabbing sensations in my nipples, diarrhoea sorry TMI for last two days and some cramping in pelvic area.

DP was over the moon with the news, he still is and we're just both praying baby sticks 🙏🏻

@Miniadventurer perhaps try morning and evening when you get flashing smileys as the static smiley doesn't last very long. Two days ago I had a flashing smiley at 7am and a static smiley at midday x
