Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

[Decaffe]

All welcome to come along for the ride and lots of support along the way!

Checking in at 5dpo, no symptoms yet!

@Bringonbaby3 I see it! Yay!

@Hopingforarainbow27 I'm only 6/7 dpo. AF due Friday but usually start spotting the day before so will be testing Thursday if the spotting doesn't start. I'm not testing any earlier this month because i always seem to manage to talk myself into there being a line even when it's stark white and then just get disappointed!

I'm not holding out much hope as only DTD twice in fertile period and I've had my covid booster and covid this cycle so really counted myself out from the very beginning. Secretly hoping that the less pressure will mean it's the month! 🤞🏻

When are you due to test? (Sorry I've you've already but this, I was about 3 days behind so couldn't keep up!)

@Natalie2304 I think af due Wednesday but I'm going to try and wait until then

@Natalie2304 also I think I'm out as well as I don't have any symptoms and just have a feeling

Yes @Purple29 I would count that as CD1.

I'm tempted to test. Can someone talk me out of it 🤦🏽‍♀️ I'm feeling rubbish

I'm out. 2 negative early tests.

What ovulation trackers do people use? Want to get serious and stop guessing / hoping!

@Hopingforarainbow27 I think we have AF due the same day. I got a negative test today and feel rubbish. I'd hold off if you can!

AF due Sat or Sun according to my apps! Not feeling too confident this month as my bbt has been all over the place, didn’t have the typical rise to show Ov so not sure if I even Ov’d! Gets me down as I was naive in thinking it would happen straight away after coming off the pill in Oct. Still early days and lots to learn about ttc for me . When is AF due for you? Are you going to test early?

Forgot to tag you in that @Geemmm

Yes, me @BiscuitLover3678! I'm only on cd 11 so still have another week to wait for ovulation, but that's only if my cycle is the same following my miscarriage at the end of November. I'm normally late ovulating in my 29 day cycle, so the first half feels like it goes on for sooo long! When will you be testing?

@2022WIP I use clear blue digi alongside one step cheapies off eBay! They say when you have had a positive OPK surge it indicates little eggy will come within 12-36hrs

@MummyMe87 thanks. If that's the case I won't be testing till the start of Feb, around the 5th is when AF would be due. If my cycle goes back to normal. I need to convince DH to try this month, think he's a bit nervous after everything but if we miss this time, we wouldn't be trying again till March and I just want to go for it!!!

@arianasky @madeleine85

Today second morning urine 🙏 I feel calmer finally

@AlmostLondoner that's a great line! Glad you can relax into it a bit more now too.

I am now 1dpo so the insanity of the tww will hit in force in about 4 days. I'm trying not to get my hopes up this month as only managed to dtd 3 times in the window and I'm super stressed with moving etc so can't imagine it happening Not out till af shows though so got to keep waiting!

@babybird20 the waiting is horrible!! Do you have any distractions? We only dtd twice 😅

Ooh that's so reassuring to hear @AlmostLondoner thanks. I guess it only takes once timed right!! 🤞🏻 did you dtd before O day or on it?

How exciting @AlmostLondoner can I ask where you get your strips from? There’s so many out there and some don’t have the best reviews. Xxx

So much for no symptoms. Woke up with a really sore lower back which probably means AF on way. And loads of slippery CM. That's a great line on one of those tiny strips @AlmostLondoner

@BabyBird20 we did I think 2 days before and then day when I felt O pain.

@billymay I get these locally as I live in Czech Republic, but when I was in UK I used Boot's version of Frer or Easy@home from Amazon. Both were good!

@jazmine38 thank you! I have soooo much slippery discharge I have to check several times per day if I am not bleeding, I had it with my son too. Fingers crossed 🤞

This 2ww is crazy with the whole symptom spotting. I’m only 5dpo and so far apart from a fuzzy head the past 2 days and a irritated nose ( it doesn’t feel blocked and it’s not runny just feels a bit like hay fever ) I have nothing. I know it’s early on but I just find my mind wandering and before I know it I’m googling everything. Xx

@AlmostLondoner thank you and my friend who has just had her 12 week scan said the only symptom she got was a lot of slippery cm. Everything crossed for you. Xx

@Billymay she is lucky!! I was so sick in my first pregnancy, lost like 3kg 😅

Btw your symptoms are quite interesting. All my fingers crossed for you 🙏❤️

@BabyBird20, O day for me, I think so I'm just 1 day behind you. Going to try to ignore everything my body does for at least the next week... faint hope. TWW is the worst.

I got my hopes up last cycle so just assuming AF will show up on 20/21st (short lp) and will only test if it doesn't. I hate this so much.

I had similar nose issues around 5/6dpo. Felt like I had sinus pain and anytime I move my head forward it was more prominent. Also been having a little nose bleeding during the night. Very unusual.
