Hi all, I have figured out how to create a thread on Mumsnet and here goes... my first one.

This is a continuation of the two (!) full Jan threads so far this month - we're a chatty bunch and happy to welcome new folks. There'll probably be a February thread starting up soon too.

Will tag everyone I can see below... please join if I missed you!

Hello all Joining to follow everyone's outcomes and to hopefully get my BFP at the end of the month 🤞🏻🌈

lilrosemarie · 12/01/2022 17:50

Hopefully January is positive for me. Currently I’m on CD28 of a normally 28-30day long cycle. I’ve done a cheeky test and it’s bfn, so there’s that … do you think there’s still hope for me? 😬

Brunette1989 · 12/01/2022 17:51

Hi all,
Missed quite a lot of the last thread been so busy with work. Lovely to see so many BFP's, like someone else said hopefully some of the luck will rub off 😀
I took the plunge and ordered some clear blue ovulation sticks so will be trying these the next few days as I should be ovulating soon. just want to feel like I'm doing something more as its a bit scary.
Xxx

Hello! Just checking in, 1DPO. AF due 25/01 though not sure if it'll be delayed as I ovulated late

Shortmamashortcycles · 12/01/2022 17:55

P.s. sorry if that's triggering for those ttc #1... 😳

Just checking in too :) Im feeling a bit unconfirmed about my BFPs if im honest. I tested this afternoon and it basically looked negative, but the other ones have been FMU and clearer to see. Going to stick to FMUs but even those don’t seem to be progressing much so feeling a bit anxious. I’ve had chemicals before and at this stage feel it could go either way.

Thank you for including me. Xx

Shortmamashortcycles · 12/01/2022 18:22

@Bringonbaby3, oh no... hopefully it's just the natural ups and downs of HCG at this stage and you get a clearer line with FMU tomorrow?

Shortmamashortcycles · 12/01/2022 18:24

@Decaffe, ngl, I'm worried I've got bad karma and I'm going to jinx the thread... I am not hopeful at all for this cycle, but as I can't test until the 21st, I figured I might as well host things for those in the late-Jan boat.

Will defo hop on the Feb thread when/ if it gets kicked off!

Hiya, checking in too! Thanks for tagging @Shortmamashortcycles 😊

Im on CD5, ovulation predicted for next Saturday but I think it’ll be here sooner. Getting a BFP this month would be a perfect birthday gift🙈

Best of luck to everyone!

Purple29 · 12/01/2022 18:27

Hello!
Would love to join, big hello and baby dust to all. Currently in my 2WW xx

noclueTTC · 12/01/2022 18:37

hi all! just joined this forum as I've had so many questions and no one to ask so this is amazing, loving the support! (still getting familiar with the terms so I might not write this in the best way)

I'm due AF on Friday, I've had cramps 6 days before it's due (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday). Today (Wednesday) the cramps stopped. This usually never happens, I normally get cramps 2 days before AF.
I've not got any other symptoms, but I'm so anxious to get a test. Is there any reliable test I can take before missing my period? (I think I might be on 12 DPO)

CatLady1994 · 12/01/2022 18:43

Hello! I'm currently at the beginning of my 2WW! I'm 2DPO, AF due on the 24th. This is my 1st cycle of TTC - hoping to be first time lucky and get a BFP before February🤞🏼but trying not to get my hopes up too much!

AmberRH1993 · 12/01/2022 18:45

Just checking in ☺️ ovulation due tomorrow so let's see what this cycle will bring 👍🏼
