January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

[Roxybabe]

New thread for the ladies who are TTC from late Dec/Jan!! Best of luck to you all ❤️

@log51 I was hoping to hold out until 20th as my period is due 21st. I've ordered some tests and they've arrived today, so I'm putting them out of the way until at least Monday/Tuesday next week xx

@northernmam I bought some from Boots earlier today, so the temptation is definitely going to be there!!

It's going to take a lot of self-control! 😂

Hi ladies.. hope you are all well.. seems a few of us are in the TWW now - although for me it’s more of a 2.5 week wait as I am now 7DPO (only according to app) and AF is due next Thursday the 19th.. however I’m going to try and hold off testing till Sunday 22nd as my cycles range from 30-33 days. And after my chemical I just can’t bare the disappointment of starting to bleed again when AF is due 😫 time is just dragging & dragging 🥺

@Laul89 I am dreading the wait too, trying to make sure I am really busy so it goes fast, I won't be testing until 29th that's when AF is due, best of luck to you 💕💕

@Babydustthisyear yeah I’m the same trying not to think of it and busy myself with other things. Also trying so hard not to symptom spot as I drive myself crazy!!

Thanks so much, same back to you 🤞🏼✨

@Laul89 I’m the opposite- I ovulated a bit late for me this month so I’m going to be pushing it as I’m due next Tuesday. So my luteal phase is only 11 days this month, unless my cycle is a bit longer than usual.

@Laul89 I'm pretty much exactly the same, planning to test middle of next week then again at the weekend if no AF

Time is dragging! I've got really sore boobs but think some of that could be in my head, or something I have other months but pay no attention to

Also in the TWW, ovulated early this month on CD13, and it's usually CD17 ir 18 like clockwork so I'm trying to hold off testing. My LP is usually 10 / 11 days but it's either going to be longer this month, or AF will arrive early. Or I'll get a BFP, but I'm not holding my breath, especially as this is only month 1 of officially TTC. I don't know whether to test 10DPO as that would be my usual LP length or wait until day 28 of my cycle. WWYD?

I ovulated early this month, CD12.
due AF 22nd January. Currently 5DPO, ignoring everything up to now. Really going to try hard not to symptom spot if I can help it and not to test early.

well about 12-13dpo for me and looks like another chemical. Had vvv faint lines on frer Monday Tuesday then v faint ic yesterday afternoon so I thought if it is something an IC should give me a decent line today but nope. So doesn’t look good 😢

@justwantobeamum I don't quite know what to say apart from I'm sorry, I'm hoping that maybe if you do another test later or in a couple of days there may be another line. I've seen some women's test be stronger in the aft/eve compared to the next days fmu. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Took your advice so we've had 4 chances this month - 3 days before, day before, surge day and day after - quite a lot for us, DH is knackered 🤭 fingers crossed.

I've always counted 1dpo as the day after the surge so yesterday for me - is this what you are all doing as well? Had a thought that 12-36 means I could be counting 1dpo when it's actually O day - how much does this matter? I guess there's no way to tell so really just asking what the norm is.

I'm so sorry. I really hope the line darkens for you. Such a stressful time x

Pretty sure af will be here by the weekend
I am so gutted this month more than usual
I was sure it had worked
On to another month I guess

Hello all. First time posting here, but I’m a serial MN lurker 😂🤭 I’m so sorry to hear of so many chemical pregnancies. 😔 I had a mmc in November at 10 weeks and have been cautiously ttc after my first AF returned. My AF is due on Saturday the 14th. We only managed to dtd once during fertile window because of an awful flu. So I thought surely I’d be out this cycle. But I had some strange really painful cramping sensations yesterday. So I randomly decided to use one of my Poundland cheapie strips and POAS this morning, fully expecting a BFN but now I’m so confused. Does this look positive or like an evap line? This was SMU today. I’m planning on getting some clear blue tests tomorrow that I’d ordered online for next cycle. I just don’t know what to think. I’m a bit scared and freaked out tbh.

@CaliGirl47sorry to hear about your mmc, that line looks positive to me...fingers crossed it sticks 🤞🏼 Test again in a couple of days and it should be a lot more visible 😊

@Natty83
i count the day after the static smiley as O day. But I guess it changes for everyone and unless you test using strips and visually see your peak you won’t know exactly when you’ve ovulated. This is the reason why I try to cover everything. Fingers crossed.

@CaliGirl47 sorry to hear about MMC. That looks positive to me though. Fingers crossed it sticks.

We haven’t DTD much during fertile windows either due to stress and illness. Managed twice though and used the ferti-lily so hoping it’s made a difference. No symptoms yet though.

Hi there hoping to join. I’m a mum to 1 conceived via fertility treatment (Letrozole) & this is my first round for baby#2.

They couldn’t be 100% I ovulated as missed the scan but showed one may of released, then I had ovulation symptoms followed by a little pink when wiping the day after 1/1/23.

i tested super early due to symptoms. I’m now 12DPO though and nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Has anyone else had a super faint positive like this then a couple days later nothing?

I’ve had backache, headaches, sore boobs (more the area just uncomfortable) nausea first thing for the last 3 mornings & shocked to see BFN each day.

I am 12DPO today and have included the super squinter I saw at 9DPO (yellow one). The other I did today. (Whiter one) I know HCG doubles/triples usually so I’m unsure what to think and read it’s very uncommon to get these evap lines on FRER?

Hospital said I should test at 14/15DPO and then start another course of Provera & then double my Letrozole dose 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone just checking in.CD 31. 11-13DPO not exact as don't test etc ... not getting too excited yet as normally have 28-34 day cycles. AF not arrived as of yet but had quite strong stomach cramps last 3 days. This is not normal for me - well not that I know but maybe I haven't noticed them before but I am doing now as in the crazy symptom spotting stage haha. Another strange one for me is extremely heightened sense of smell. I came through the front door after work and could distinctly smell cucumber. My husband was in the kitchen slicing some. Is this normal ?? Or am I driving myself crazy symptom spotting lol 😆 Going to try and hold off testing until weds which will be CD36 if AF has not arrived by then.Good luck to all xx

1dpo today. Fingers crossed for me ladies. Two week wait officially starts again.

So funny you’ve said this as since having covid last year my sense of smell has been way off and like a constant citrus smell but the last four days it’s deffo got stronger. Tried not to get too excited but the cucumber my daughter had OMG it smelt so strong!

I’ve noticed lots of milky cm and when checking internally like egg white stretchy but milky 🤷🏻‍♀️

BFN still and the indent lines are all I’m seeing at 12DPO CD31

@UKMummy2one
How crazy were both CD31 and having strong cucumber smells ??
How long are your cycles usually?
When are you going to test ?
🤞🤞🤞 for you xx

I caved and tested. Early. AF due in 4 days.

It's positive! However I'm not getting too excited as I know its early and there's a lot that could change. I'll keep testing between now and next week and just hope it sticks. 🙏
