Don’t know what I’m doing with the emojis this time!

Who else is on for Jan? When would you be due?

I’m on cycle day 1 boooooo. Due to ovulate 2nd May. I think is due date 24th January.

So I’ll be testing around 15th May

I’ve realised that my cycles are actually quite short - 26/27 days is this why I have an issue or is this normal? My apps say it’s normal but I don’t know anymore.

@BiscuitLover3678 me please! Will be testing on 19th May in attempt to avoid early testing altogether (we‘ll see how that goes 😅) x

Welcome! I’m sorry about Af. I hope this is our month. 2023 May be a better one anyway Grin

Haha yes I’m also assuming no early testing! I also know I’ll definitely do it. Blush

@BiscuitLover3678 Also me! I’m on cd9 now, just about to go into my fertile week tomorrow, I’m nervous!

I’d be due around 19th January, never thought I’d like a January baby as it’s so close to Christmas, but we’ve been trying a year now, I’ll be happy with anything!x

Good luck good luck 🤞 babies are often late anyway tbh! I remember thinking this year that once you pass around the 5th of January everyone is so moved on from Christmas.

I really hope it’s your month.

Moving over from the December thread. Af started today so back to trying again. If I fall this cycle I’ll be due around 25th Jan. @BiscuitLover3678 hopefully January is our month 🤞🏻

Charl881 · 20/04/2022 10:14

Moving over from December in anticipation of AF since we didn’t really get chance to DTD this cycle.

Due date would be 30th Jan.

I’ll be on holiday for all of my fertile window this month so no OPK and just try to DTD when we can.

My DS has his birthday at the end of May and AF would be due before then so I just really hope this cycle is our cycle as I always thought I’d be pregnant by his 2nd birthday so some reason!

Good luck everyone.

Charl881 · 20/04/2022 10:16

@BiscuitLover3678 do you know roughly what day you ovulate? It’s the luetal phase you want to watch, apparently ideally it should be at least 10 days. So as long as you’re ovulating on or before cycle day 16 I wouldn’t worry about the length.

Thanks! Yeah I think I ovulate around day 13 so that’s a relief.

counting down until next ovulation now although not sure I’ll bother with opks this month

OP posts:
Bubblesandballoons · 21/04/2022 20:30

@BiscuitLover3678 when are you due to ovulate? I’m about the 4th May. Also not sure wether to bother with opks this month. My cycle has regulated now and I get loads of ewcm, so I know when I need to be dtd. I do have loads of them left tho, so prob will cave once I get ewcm to double check 😂.

Tbh if you can go by ewcm I’d use that! I’m terrible with opks I think it’s because I don’t do them at the right time and then they all show different things.

I think around 1st May

OP posts:
Charl881 · 22/04/2022 09:33

I’ll be using EWCM only this cycle too. Expecting ovulation around 10th May, right in the middle of my holiday!

Had loads of EWCM last cycle, seemed such a waste not to be able to try properly. Desperate to crack on again now!

BiscuitLover3678 · 22/04/2022 17:26

This is probably a gross tmi question (sorry) but how often do you check cm. Is it something you should do early in the morning or something?

OP posts:
Bubblesandballoons · 22/04/2022 18:43

@BiscuitLover3678 normally I just check at some point in the day when I go to the loo on days leading up to ovulation.
@Charl881 i’m so ready to get going too. Waiting on af to finish, so can get back to it lol. Least getting sorted for your holiday can keep you distracted.

lyra12 · 22/04/2022 19:36

Hi! Hope it's ok to join. Ovulation due tomorrow... cycle #1 trying for baby #2!

Charl881 · 22/04/2022 21:03

@Bubblesandballoons yeah exactly, I keep panicking we don’t have much time to get everything sorted and then think well at least that means not long until fertile window 🤣

@BiscuitLover3678 I don’t check it specifically, it’s just there when I wipe!

@lyra12 welcome! How old is your first?

lyra12 · 22/04/2022 21:32

@Charl881 thank you!! She is 15 months. Jan 2021 baby! Feel a bit iffy about potentially close birthdays but in the grand scheme it doesn't matter does it. They can have joint parties 🤞 if I catch of course, may never happen 😂

Amber17 · 23/04/2022 00:11

Hi, can I join? First proper cycle, I’m CD5 so around the same dates as you @BiscuitLover3678

Bubblesandballoons · 23/04/2022 07:07

@Charl881 it’s so much nicer when you have other things to think about when ttc. When is af due?
Welcome @lyra12, I tried the month that I would be due on my ds’s bday, as figured we’d work round it.
@Amber17 welcome I am cd5 today too. Nice when a few of us are similar to navigate the tww together.

lyra12 · 23/04/2022 10:45

Ovulation day 🤞 DTD last night and 2 nights ago, should probably again today but I might just leave it at that and see what happens. Urgh bloody hate the TWW though, it really drags doesn't it

HR2022 · 23/04/2022 12:30

May I join this thread? I’m 6DPO today and find myself searching through every symptom possible every evening. This is my first cycle TTC so not holding out huge hope this time round as came off the POP pill this month too. So desperate to test but know it way too soon!

Reading through these threads is getting me through to TWW!

Hope you all get your BFPs soon! X

Sausage1990 · 23/04/2022 14:02

Hi ladies can I join you?

I'm cycle #1 TTC (again) after multiple losses. No living children yet but had a loss in Jan 2020 (5weeks), MMC in Oct 2020 (12 weeks) and MMC in May 2021 (11weeks). We've taken nearly a year off to heal in every sense of the word and for testing with reoccurring miscarriage clinic.

This is my 1st cycle TTC and currently cd29 and I think possibly 10-11dpo..my cycles have been ALL over the place since my last loss so who knows where I'm at. I didn't do any opk tests or anything just keeping a casual eye in cm.

Xx

Hope it's ok to join too :-) I'm 1DPO today. Dtd day before ovulation and that's it this month as DH says I put too much pressure on him 🙈 but it worked to conceive our DS so fingers crossed! Good luck everyone
