January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

[Roxybabe]

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

Thank you, I’ve got everything crossed. Hopefully the abstaining between Boxing Day and next Tuesday will
help his little swimmers find their way when they finally get up there, as long as my tubes aren’t blocked

@Ncl31 Fingers crossed for you and his swimmers. If there is a blockage in your tubes can they unblock it? It’s such an awful situation sending you love 😔

I'll be joining. Was pretty deflated when AF turned up yesterday after a positive FRER on Xmas Eve. I won't be testing early this next cycle, no matter how tempting

Hi girls, I’d love to join the thread please! AF arrived today after our first month officially TTC no1. A bit deflated but I know the chances of conception in month one are probably slim! Reading the thread makes me feel like I’m not alone. Sending baby dust to you all for 2023!✨

@MilkyAndFluffy i believe there is surgery they can do but I’ve not looked into it to be honest. I’ve not wanted to get myself too wound up about it and will deal with it if it comes to that.

Time really does seem to slow down during the TWW doesn’t it?! Think I’m 5DPO (not 100% sure as haven’t used OPKs and I had a chemical last month so wonder if that might have thrown dates off) and the idea of waiting another week or more to test is crazy!

Hope everyone has fun new years plans to keep themselves busy!

CD15 here so prime time for DTD, and DP is sick as a dog! I'm gutted! 😂

Hi everyone
Hope you don't mind me posting
This month was my first cycle using femara
I am on cd12 now and should hopefully ovulate soon
If all works I will get my bfp in January

Sorry to hear this, it’s so disappointing isn’t it. Same happened to me in November and I won’t ever test early again after that. AF arrived 2 days early a few weeks ago but I found it easier assuming it was just a usual period than knowing it was a chemical again if that makes sense. Fingers crossed for next cycle 🤞🏼✨

Hi everyone, love reading all your posts, very helpful im basically joining any ttc chat lol! I’m 32 and this will be our first time ttc, ovulate next week and I think I am getting so over excited but I know it can take time but can’t help predict when baby will be due 🙈 Babydust for all this year xx

I’m 5dpo too @WonderfulSummer. Really dragging at the moment. When are you planning to test?

Hi all,

Hope it isn't too late to join. TTC #2, AF due on 12th Jan. Took us a long time to take the plunge to try for second one, our first is almost 4.

Came of hormonal coil in Nov and half-heartedly tried then. Trying in Dec also was more "not preventing" than really trying. Next month I guess we'll go at it more properly. First one took 6 cycles but I was also younger then... Now late 30s.

Currently on CD10 and got our first ever flashing smiley on clearblue ovulation test (first time using them) also using natural cycles too and that predicts ovulation to be CD13 so let's see if they match up. I've got my heart set on being pregnant before May because I don't want to get to our baby's due date (who we sadly mc) and not have something positive to get us through. I'm trying not to stress about it but it's literally in almost every thought that goes through my mind! I'm thankful for the children I already have, 2 girls and a boy youngest being 13 I had them young between 19 and 23. I am now 36 and with someone different, couldn't believe our luck when we fell pregnant 1st ttc back in August/Sept. I'm just hoping that the mc wasn't due to me being older and having lower progesterone, so many things go through your mind and it makes you lose faith in your body. Fingers crossed for all of us getting our BFPs going into the new year ❤

9dpo and another BFN for me 💔

I'm fairly certain I'm out for December so hoping I can join you for January 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Laul89 Thank you... it really is. It's so hard not to test early, but I think it's even harder to get your hopes up with a positive that turns out not to be. I agree, I don't think I'd have been so down if AF had just showed up and I hadn't tested. Good luck to you!

I'm CD 8 today with O predicted for CD16, and AF due 12 days later which is 20th Jan, so it's going to be a busy week or two! We don't have a problem with every day 🫣, probably by virtue of my Step-DD living with her mum and this being our first! Luckily it's fallen this time on our holidays from work so will be making the most of it. Xx

Hello! I'm Nat. Been lurking a few days and would love to join you all on this journey. Have a DS (15 months) and currently TTC #2 - 15dpo this morning and a BFN (AF due tomorrow and her cramps are stabbing me as I type) so looking hopefully towards January now.

Me and dh managed sex just once before ovulation on boxing day, worked out about 2 1/2 days before I tend to ovulate so hopefully in with a chance..
Seems like everyone is annoucing pregnancies around xmas lolm

Hopefully 2023 brings good news to us all and fingers crossed soon..😊

@GemLou88 I’d like to hold off until next Friday/Saturday but no idea if I’ll have that will power! What about you?

Hi everyone! AF arrived yesterday so back again. 'Had a feeling' it was it last month (wishful thinking) so a bit deflated but onwards and upwards for Jan.

This is cycle #7 TTC #2 and nothing at all so far. Got an at-home blood test from Forth which I'm going to do in a couple of days to see if it shows up anything. Otherwise I'm going to go back to clearblue ovulation tests this month because I keep missing it using OPKs - though I have an Ovucore so know when I have ovulate after the fact at least.

Good luck to everyone testing soon, I've a long way to go this month!

Hi @Jigglemonster I'm on cycle 7 too

@Jigglemonster

For those of you using the clear blue opk, which day of your cycle do you start on? X
