Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

@Countrybean eeeee congrats, that's for sure a BFP!!
@BambiBooBoo also big congratulations to you too!!

@Sophie3839 hope you recover from your cold quicky! Rest up! Yep could be too early, I'm 10DPO. Might test again in a few days, will see how I go :)

2021lady · 29/01/2023 10:54

Peak opk day was yesterday. We had sex last night but hubby wasn't able to finish
I'm due to ovulate today but I don't think it's happened yet. Haven't felt it. I hope we can manage to get a session in tonight and him be able to finish otherwise that's me out this cycle
We did do it on Monday and Thursday but I don't think that was enough

AlleycatMarie · 29/01/2023 12:07

Congratulations to all those getting their bfp!
I tested today (8dpo, AF due in 4 days) and bfn. I know it’s still early, but so many people seem to get their bfp early on, so I just feel I would have seen a hint of a line by now 😒

Jonesy88 · 29/01/2023 20:34

Congratulations on those positives ladies!

Im on CD 26 of a 30 day cycle, curiosity got the better of me and I tested. BFN with not a hint of anything else. I know it’s not over but i very much doubt it now. Waiting for AF and TTC November.

Lasereyes12 · 29/01/2023 21:38

I’m now 2 days late for AF. Tests are BFN but I’ve got sore boobs, I’m starving and last week was so tired that for two days I had to nap at lunchtime which has never happened. There’s no way the BFP wouldn’t be showing yet though is there.

madeofcodes · 30/01/2023 09:58

This has probably been asked 1 million times. My app said I was meant to ovulate yesterday, had peak opk Saturday PM and Sun AM. Tested opk this morning and v faint line. Does that mean I'm ovulating today?

Mrsrobinsonx · 30/01/2023 13:25

@madeofcodes hi! That probably means you’ve already ovulated.
on average after peak opk you will ovulate within 24 hours but can be up to 2 days. Then once ovulation has occurred the hormone goes back down meaning negative tests again x

Mushroo · 30/01/2023 14:03

Ovulating today so going to DTD again this evening and settle in for the TWW!

I can already feel it dragging, why is it so long!!

I really would like it to happen this month, I love October and think it’s a lovely time for a birthday.

JJ2023 · 30/01/2023 16:50

I’m now in the TWW! Fingers crossed and baby dust to all. @Mushroo I would also love this to be the month, I agree about October being a lovely time of year :)

This is the first month where I actually managed to get a peak on OPKs so I know we have done all that we can. I also have been using fertililly this month which has been interesting!

Mushroo · 30/01/2023 17:02

@JJ2023 best of luck! how have you found the fertility?

I’m worried we haven’t DTD enough but we I think we should have caught ovulation (fingers crossed)

JJ2023 · 30/01/2023 17:45

@Mushroo fingers crossed for you too lovely!

I think we caught ovulation too but I was away for two days for work which would have been a good time to DTD aswell as it was like day 5/day 4 before ovulation.

The fertililly has been good - when taking it out you can really see how much it holds, so can only be a good thing that it pushes it all towards the cervix!

When is your AF due? I actually have a shorter cycle so it’s not quite a TWW, AF due around 7th Feb.

Mushroo · 30/01/2023 18:06

@JJ2023 I might look into it if needed for next month, every little helps!

Not until 13/14 feb so I guess could be a nice valentines surprise! My cycles are normally 29 - 31 days

2021lady · 30/01/2023 20:48

I'm in the tww now. Trying to be realistic. But man I just hope it works. It's been such a long time trying now.

hipposinacircle · 31/01/2023 10:33

Still here, hanging on. Waiting to ovulate still which will hopefully be in the next couple of days.

Had the HyCoSy last week which was uncomfortable but at least it's done now. Unfortunately it showed that my left tube is blocked which reduces our chances of conceiving naturally even further.

We had a call with our fertility consultant yesterday and she has recommended we try 3 cycles with Letrozole before moving to IVF. Feeling so disappointed but still holding onto a glimmer of hope that we might conceive before then ✨

MummyBear2519 · 31/01/2023 18:39

I’m currently in the waiting window. AF is due Monday but will be testing Saturday as have a big night out planned so want to know either way. What is everyone’s feelings on drinking with TTC? I’m 35 now and my youngest is 8 so it’s been a while and first time I’ve planned a pregnancy
