January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

[Roxybabe]

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

Just had some pinky/brown blood. Could be implantation, could be out.
I'm cycle day 20 and 8 PO, but I've had 21 cycles in the last 6 months. Aghhhh!

@Roxxybabe I feel exactly the same. I'm back running and enjoying a few glasses of wine and generally feel more relaxed. I've stopped plowing through my ovulation sticks like before too. Xx

@Knov20 good to hear, weirdly it has really chilled me out!! I haven’t taken a single supplement and I haven’t symptom spotted as much! Feels good! I actually feel more positive that it’ll happen! Xx

Me too. I also think there's no point testing early as I'll know soon enough if I am or if I'm not! Save myself some money on tests too!! Xx

I'm struggling a lot, first month ttc our second and was trying to go with the flow but covid has knocked my cycle out of whack for the last few months so no idea where I am! BFN last 2 days but just want to know if I'm out this month or not! convinced myself it isn't our month and keep having a cry.

Hey guys, really sorry this is a bit TMI but just trying to figure out if this is normal! I think I am around 8/9DPO and we DTD today, and I was bleeding a little. Could this be a sign of a chemical? Or implantation?! Google isn’t much help 😅

@Dramallama221 I don’t think there’s any reason to be getting upset at just one month in…unless you know of any reasons why you might have problems? some people have been at this for months/years so I think just try and relax and try not get too stressed out. Good luck!

@TTCno1in23 could be implantation if it’s light/spotting, or could be from DTD if you have been doing it lots or just mid cycle spotting?A chemical is when you get a positive pregnancy test and then it becomes negative and you get your period so it wouldn’t be that, only a few days left until you can test! Goos luck!!

@Roxxybabe thank you! Just overthinking as usual!! Gonna try hold out until Friday to test - long week ahead 😂

Hope everyone else has had a good week and we see some BFP soon! This thread moves too quick for me to keep up sorry😅

12dpo BFN this morning. I know it's not conclusive, I didn't get my BFP with my little miracle DS until after AF was missed and I'm emotionally prepared to wait a while again for baby #2, it's only cycle 2 for us.
I'm just at a crossroads point where I need to decide whether to pack in work or just commit and we always said we'd do a few months ttc before we decide because it would decide for us so to speak, so my heads all over the place this morning haha.

@Dramallama221 it’s hard isn’t it, even if it’s only for a day when you realise you’re out. The good thing is, if you have a DC, you know you can conceive. Have you tried ovulation tests and tracking apps before? Maybe those would help you to focus going forward? Like @Roxxybabe says, most people don’t conceive in their first month, so try not to worry too much.

Fingers crossed for you @TTCno1in23 !! Hoping it was implantation!!

@Natty83 it’s hard isn’t it. My DH tells me to relax a lot (😑😑😑) but I don’t think he realises that as a woman everything runs through your head when ttc. Career, diet, exercise, lifestyle, all that.
I hope you get your conclusive answer re whether this month you’re in or out so you can plan.

@ttcat37 thank you! My DP is the same, they mean well but deffo easier said than done. Wish I was the type to just go with the flow but I’m such a control freak 🤣

I did that the first time, but the month it happened for us was the month we just went with the flow! I have bought some ovulation tests for next month. It's the lack of control around the whole thing for me...maybe something i need to work on!!

sorry, that was for @ttcat37 but I'm new to posting. Long time lurker here!

I'm 10dpo today , not one hint of a bfp or a line. Period is due in 5 days and feeling cramps already. Is it game over for me?

@Ella31 similar here. Had more spotting day but more leaning towards start of af than implantation. I've got some frers coming tomorrow so will do one in the morning as I cannot resist POAS
🤞🏼 for us both x

Yeah I'm just wondering should I be seeing some faint lines at this stage

I'm a few days late, but too scared of disappointment so I'm not testing 😂. I was hopeful as my LP is usually consistent but I started taking seven seas preconception tables on CD1 and read that the vit B6 can prolong luteal phase and result in longer cycles.

@kinkin0518 wow that’s so willpower!! How long are you aiming to wait before testing? X

@ttcat37 for late reply...I'm trying a more relaxed approached this cycle. I've not bbtd at all and just going to dtd every other day. Not tracked ovulation either so I won't know how many dpo unless i feel it happen. I say more relaxed but I am eating differently, for health more than ttc although I've added walnuts, Brazil nuts and then a huge array of seeds and powders to add to smoothies that are apparently great for fertility. I'll try anything 🫠

How are you feeling?

Hey ladies, so I’m CD25 and 9DPO (or so I thought). I usually have a 29 day cycle so would be due on this Friday, but I’ve just tested OPK (I test daily) and I got a v dark line (almost positive). I had a chemical last month so my last bleed wasn’t actually a proper period but a chemical bleed, could the chemical have messed up my cycle and am I gearing up to ovulate. I already had a positive OPK on CD15 and assumed I ovulated then, so I am a little confused. I have heard your LH can rise before AF so I guess it could just be that but I’m not due until FRiday, unless she decides to come early, I’ve also heard this can happen when you’re pregnant but I got a BFN on an IC. Only tested because of the high OPK!

Just adding pic of OPK

I'm going to wait until I'm a week late. Have you experienced delays eith orenatals?

BFN this morning 😔

@Roxxybabe how odd 🤔 maybe dtd a few times over the next coming days just in case? It is possible the chemical could have messed with your cycle but if you bled the same time you would have done as af you'd have thought not. Hopefully someone else on this thread might have some better advice for you.

@LotzW how many dpo are you?
