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

[Hopingforarainbow27]

Hi everyone. Hope you can join me!

@arianasky that is so awful and insensitive that HR did that. Hope yoiu are feeling ok after that unnecessary reminder x

Thank you @madeleine85, I'm ok it's really brought me down today though if I'm honest. How is everyone else? How many dpo is everyone or even what day in the cycle?

Hey, joining in!
This is cycle 6 ttc baby #1

I'm due to ovulate late this week/ early next week as per OPKs. I'm attempting to temp chart this month too.

I'm slightly worried as I took one pregnacare preconception vitamin tablets but the reviews kept banging on about late delayed periods so I stopped after that one tablet. I'm still worried because one review said they only took 3 and period was late by a week and still bfn. Last thing you need when ttc!

Anyways, wishing us all the best of luck in this cycle. Hopefully lots of us will move on to a "Due in Sep 2022" thread 😜 xx

@ttcbabya welcome! That’s interesting about vitamins delaying periods? I’ve never heard that. Is it just pregnacare ones? I’ve taken them before and lucky no effect on my cycles.

I had my booster in September which was also when I had my coil removed so I don’t really know if it affected my cycle as lots going on! I would almost certainly get it now though if offered.

I’m CD28 and been patiently awaiting AF all day but nothing yet! Can feel that she’s on her way though. Does anybody else get night sweats the night or two before period comes? I wake up feeling drenched! Only ever happens just before period so assume it’s the hormone changes.

Helloooo everyone. Ttc cycle 2 over here, so early days and just getting used to it all. Am finding these threads incredibly useful!!

On th booster chat, I'm ovulating now and have booster booked for Tues should should be about 4DPO when I have it. Do you think that's at all risky if it can mess with our cycles?? I could be mid implantation? I got fairly bad side effects with the first two (fever and bed for 2 days). Grateful for any advice 🙏

Well, I’m already out! That was unexpected.

DH came home tonight and just opened up. He’s had some ongoing family issues and is no longer in touch with them, but he’s finding it difficult this Christmas. It’s hit him really hard out of nowhere, so his head isn’t in the best place and he wants to put TTC on hold.
A bit disappointed, especially after last month wasn’t a success, but I can understand. Hopefully he’ll feel a bit better in the new year and we can still hope for 2022, it’s just a rough time of year with all the festive family stuff about. 😔

Wishing you all the best of luck and baby dust!

@Bringonbaby3 yeah, just with pregnancare as far as I'm aware. They even have a disclaimer that this can happen on the box but I somehow missed it! Hopefully one pill doesn't mess up my cycle x

@KateInHappyland sorry to hear that! Hope he's able to sort through his issues and that 2022 is your year! All the best xx

@KateInHappyland ah no that’s disappointing for you! Hopefully he will feel more positive and be ready to try in the new year once Christmas has passed!

@ttcbabya if it helps, I’ve taken those vitamins for about 3 months now and have never had any changes to my cycle. I know that things affect people differently but hopefully it won’t affect yours either - especially as you’ve only taken one!🙂

@Bringonbaby3 It’s interesting that you have night sweats before a period - I’ve never experienced that! Hormone changes can do strange things!

@KateInHappyland I am so sorry, that sounds really stressful for him (and you). Glad that he can open up and be honest about not feeling great at the moment, and he has a supportive partner. Onwards to 2022 for you guys, hope it is much better after the holidays clear.

@Tor88 welcome! I would much rather get the booster pre pregnancy, for me the unknown of effects on a potential little one in that stage of development is too much of a stressor. At least this way you know it is done, and you have covid free months to look forward to!

Just ordered some cheap ovulation sticks. I wasn't going to but clearly I have no self control 🙈
Can't dtd until Saturday and that's when my app says I'll ovulate so hopefully the sticks will agree with that.
CD11 for me.

@RubyRainbows thanks for that! Good to know, the reviews really put me off and scared me lol

@ttcbabya I’ve taken pregnancies vitamins for about 5 months and it didn’t affect my cycles at all. I then switched to Proceive Max in October and weirdly it shortened my cycle by 2 days with spotting the day before (I know it doesn’t sound like much but I’ve been bang on 30 days for months and months with no spotting pre AF). So I’m convinced it’s the supplements that altered my cycle. I haven’t stopped these yet, so yet to find out if they have any effect on this cycle. The idea was to try for three months and if I find that it alters my cycles too much, I will stop. Plus they’re so expensive!

Meant to say pregnacare vitamins, not “pregnancies”. Stupid autocorrect!

Hi ladies - joining please!

My husband and I are going to start TTC in January (DD is 18 months old). Been tracking my cycles for the past few months and my period is due around Christmas day so can start fresh in the New Year.

My husband wanted to wait until January to try for an Autumn baby so I've been raring to go for months - fingers crossed it happens quickly!

@bringonbaby3 I get night sweats a few nights before my period too! I even did on the pill

@ttcbabya snap! Cycle 6 ttc baby number 1.

I'm CD 4 today and probably last day of my period. I've bough concieve plus this month as we have been using water based lube now and then (just because DH likes it) and realised now that it probably isnt helping. Just going to use concieve plus like a normal lubricant I think.

@Tinkerbell098 ah so interesting to know! You're the second person in this thread to day you weren't affected by them. The cycle thing really threw me off haha.
I understand what you mean about it not sounding like much but you know your body best and so any change, no matter how slight is still a change right

@PoleFairy wooop! I don't usually use lube as I rarely need it, but I tried Preseed last cycle just to aid this ttc journey. Clearly didn't work 😂 contemplating using it this FW

Morning all,
Joining this thread as wasn't lucky enough to graduate the December thread.
My apps are saying my ovulation day will be Christmas eve which is not great as the other half will be plastered but will have to try in the morning ha ha. Just don't think he's getting that there's like 5 days in a month where its got a chance then that's it. I've got my ovulation sticks ready and will start doing those, ordered with the premom app so I'm hoping that will help but to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing just trying to be more positive and do something else to help.
Definitely feel what a few others mentioned about wanting to be pregnant by a certain time. We lost our baby in June and would of been due around end of January so I don't think that's going to happen for us.
Sending lots of baby dust to everyone xx

Hi January ladies!
Jumping over from the December thread. TTC#2, DD is 27 months old. This will be 3rd Cycle TTC.
Used OPK's last 2 cycles, SMEP and reflexology last cycle and no luck yet.
Going to continue with the OPK's but going to go to DTD every other day as every day seemed a bit much and ended up getting very tedious (although I think DH loved it!)

I'm so sorry to read all of your heartbreaks. Sending lots of love and tons of baby dust for this time around ❤️

@Natalie2304 welcome! Majority of us have come from some sort of December thread 😂 we just have to stay hopeful and jump on to the next train.
DTD every other day is actually advised as it gives the sperm a chance to build up and shoot out healthy ones. Hopefully that change brings your BFP xx

Update on me - I’m fairly sure I’m ovulating today and DH still has Covid, so frustrating but hoping it means we’ll be good to go in jan! Probably means I’m out for a Jan positive though…

How’s everyone else getting on? I’ve reached the point I’m symptom spotting even pre ovulation, I’m obsessed!

@Mushrooms0up I had a blazer of an OPK this morning and have been making eyes at DP over the laptop all day but he’s resisting my charms, bah. There’s no nothing less sexy than me going “But I’m going to OVULATE we need to do it NOW” so that will be counterproductive, but on the other hand how do I convey the urgency because he’s all “I’m knackered in the week, what about Saturday?”

I cheered myself up by going out and stocking up on FRERs so I can play line eyes all Christmas even though the chances are now slim.

@hotmeatymilk lol that made me laugh, it's all a bit awkward isn't it! I'm still getting used to that side of things (cycle #2). DH has been pretty compliant so far luckily but he wasn't impressed last night when he put match of the day on and I was like, erm, baby making time!! 😅
