TTC FOR JANUARY

[starryx]

Af just arrived so I'm officially out for this month :(

But onto new beginnings!
Trying to conceive for 2024 <3

Everyone welcome to join and discuss :)

Hi. I'm new to this, but joined a similar group when I was pregnant in the past. This time I'm TTC. First time I have actively tried to conceive. I'm on cycle 2 and I'm 4 days away from AF. Tested this morning with a big fat negative. Still have my hopes up, but expecting I will be out this month.

Aww well let's see how it turns out for you.

I am more determined then ever to try and eat healthier

Joining as well, thanks for creating the thread, sorry to hear that starryx, fingers crossed for this month as well...

Hi there, hope you're well!
And it's OK I'm already preparing my body for the next ovulation cycle 🙂👍 it was hard when I saw it but part of me was already anticipating it

This is my second month TTC trying for our first dc!

Just past my ovulation and have early tests so I can take one next weekend... fingers crossed

I'll join!! I had my coil taken out this month so u likely to be a December success story so onwards for Jan!

We're ttc #2, number 1 is now almost 8 years old! We have not been ttc until now so big gap!

I'm at the mid point of this cycle but it took almost 2 years first time round so I'm realistic!

Woke up in the night cramping which is normal for me when AF is due. Definitely not feeling hopeful now 😕

Aww I had similar before :( hopefully it isn't af for you

It's my 4th attempt once my af finishes. It's hard.
DC number 1
My dp has 3 kids and is obviously fertile and managed to get his ex pregnant fast
Me I'm 21 and it seems to be taking too long, it's getting me down
I dtd pretty much everyday

Hi all,

I'd love to join you! Just started TTC #2. DS is 2.5 which is a bit of a bigger gap than we intended for one reason or another, and I'm a bit worried about my age.

It was relatively straightforward last time round but I was able to to all the things - temping, ovulation testing, sex whenever we wanted/needed because it was 2020 so we were home just to two of us all the time. Not quite so straightforward with a toddler who doesn't reliably sleep through and having to go into the office!

I'm only on CD9 so likely testing on New Year's Day!

Hi of course you're welcome!
And aww well hopefully your ds will love having a baby brother or sister!
I know life's struggles can get in the way indeed and work can knock you down too
Good luck!
I'm not due to test till 8th I believe as I'm cycle day 1

Yeh last month I randomly started cramping over a week before AF was due so I thought this is it!!! Then I got a funny let down feeling in my breasts. But AF came right on time. This month I just don't feel any different and know she's on her way. Due Thursday but think AF may come early.

I have a 9 year old and a 5 year old. So there will be quite an age gap for us from start to finish. Can I be cheeky and ask how old you are?

I'll be testing the 2nd Jan, I was out early in the December thread, at least couple of us testing early in Jan...see alot of BFP on December thread so its great news...hopefully lots of BFP on this thread...
Regards disappointment just try and keep the faith starryx....I know the feeling its so hard....
But our time will come..

Hopefully! It was great to see many bfp
And fingers crossed I got hope

Hey! Currently on my 6th month TTC, AF just arrived. Already have one DC who is 2.5, starting to get frustrated it feels like it's taking forever!! Fingers crossed this is the month.

Here I ammm again... AF arrived 3 days early this cycle. She's here with a mission this month!!
I've so far been pregnant 3 times this year, with no happy ending 🥺
Didn't really try properly for December & didn't fall November so had a slight break!
We are really trying this month, I've even bought pre seed (any advice or experience with use would be good!) & the more expensive clearblue digital ovu tests, with the 4 days instead of 2! I want this baby so much 😞 I have a DD who's 6... I'd love for her to be a big sister ❤️ I'm apparently ovulating right over Xmas! So we will be DTD. I'm not back at work until.the 8th Jan, when my period is apparently due so might know before I'm back 🤞🤞
Anyway for now! I have my works Xmas party Sat so gin shall be drank 🥂🥂
Good luck to you ladies already here & joining 💝🥰🥰

Hi everyone!

I'd love to join! 😊

January will be our first time trying for our first baby. Bit of backstory - we're both 28 and we've been together for nearly 10 years but only got married last summer. I think I would have started trying sooner but my husband wanted to wait until the new year, mainly to enjoy married life and top up our savings a bit after the wedding.

I know quite a few people in real life who have fallen pregnant straight away but then I've seen so many women on tiktok who have struggled for years/had to do IVF/had multiple miscarriages so I'm a bit apprehensive as to what our journey will be.

Looking forward to following along with you all. Fingers crossed for 2024 🤞

Also apart from TTC, DPO and BBT, I have no idea what any of the other acronyms mean so bear with me 😂

I'm using pre seed last 3 months, alot have success with it , so far we haven't.
This month I'm using the clear blue digital ovulation tests I'm CD 11 and still getting the circle so be interesting to see will I get the smiley on day 14 as I think that's my day to ovulate 14/15 as I have cramps usually....I bought a load of things on Black Friday....
Just hope I don't obsess as I have a tendency to...thats why I haven't used the ovulation tests so far...

I've a question On the clear blue ovulation test advanced digital the 4 day one, when the test stick result is a smiley face for peak fertility does that mean the ovulation test stick can't be used again as the symbol stays on the screen...
I got my smiley on CD12,wasn't expecting it this early as my cycle is 29 maybe 30 days odd month.

@Noisinmaro I've not as of yet used the 4 day.. its coming Monday but I know with the 2 day the result stays on the test for 24 hours then goes away but I also noticed if I put a new stick in it resets? Have you looked on the clearblue site? It might tell you! Ivw not tried pre see before, but ill give it a go! Hopefully it happens for you soon!! Good luck for TTC 🤞

@Firsttimerr95 Hey 👋 I know it can all be so daunting & scary, I had my daughter 6 years ago & didn't think for a minute I'd struggle. Here I am 3 miscarriages later! But that doesn't mean to.say everyone will go.through difficulties it might be you fall quickly, but what I will say is there's plenty of help out there for you, the pregnancy unit at my local hospital are doing loads for me now! Hopefully you & your partner will DTD (Do the deed or dirty your preference😆) & you'll fall! 🤞🤞 ps don't worry about the acronyms I know only a few too🙈 x

Ok, I try reset...thanks for reply.
Looked on the website, its not clear,
Just I never got the flashing smiley went from plain circle to the next day the static smiley...
Just was surprised.
I've never used so I've no.clue.

Hi all!

We started trying for No2 in October. I have a four year old already and have only waited this long as I got poorly end of last year so it delayed everything! I am also 36 and am really not feeling hopeful and I don’t know why?! I have had fertility blood tests and they came back all normal.

Anyone else over 35?

I use the flo app but I don’t think it’s accurate for me tbh! Xx

I’m on the dec thread as I am ovulating in dec and will begin to test from the 31st but technically my AF if due on the 4th of Jan!

This will be the first cycle of ttc baby number three! I’ve just turned 38. I was nearly 33 when I had my first, nearly 36 when I had my second. Very excited agd nervous! Im CD 6 now, will start tracking with Advance clear blue ovulation tests tomorrow, and expecting to ovulate on the 23rd. Eeee!

@Chocpot1986 I'm 37 and also trying for number 2, also feeling like it's not going to happen even though we've only just started. Very much in my head about my age.

@Noisinmaro I thought you couldn't use the test again for 48 hours but I might be wrong about that - I've never experimented!
