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 :)

@starryx im really hoping you get your BFP this month. When are you going to test?

Thank you, I'm hoping for you too!
I am going to test probably next Monday 🙂

@PeekABoo22 I use the easy @ home ones

I use these and they are personally always accurate and right for me

MOMMED Ovulation Test Strips, 50 LH Ovulation Kit + 50 Collection Cups, Accurately Track Ovulation Test, High Sensitivity Ovulation Tests amzn.eu/d/0RpoVdk

@starryx exciting!! It will come round quick hopefully, being a short week! Is that when AF is due. Im holding out until AF this month as I dont feel confident. Honestly i thought I would just fall the first time 🙃but it will be what it will be. Not going to stress at all. Im thankful for what I have already i must keep that in perspective X

Hey ladies!
How are we all doing?
5/6 dpo here, & the urge to test 🙈🙈 I'm not going to I know that implantation might not have even happened yet!
So I ordered the ultra early clear blue digital (with the flashy end) and purposely went for the ones that don't come until Monday when I should.be around 11/12 dpo. Even then I really want to stick it out until AF is due either 8th or 10th.. (premom says 8th, flo 10th) but I'll most likely not 🤣🤣

I do genuinely have this feeling, I've been symptom spotting like mad.. having a sort of stretching feeling down there, but I'm not really looking into it all.. I know early pregnancy symptoms feel the same as pre AF symptoms. Who knows!
Anyway just clearing out the Christmas clutter, keeping myself busy!
X

@LuceNumberTwo ahh im really hopeful for you!! Im keeping my fingers crossed! Keep busy and and the days will fly by. By Monday you will be 11/12 dpo and can test! Im also about 5dpo but AF is due 11th so Im holding out until then 🤞🏼✨

Hopefully so! I've got a few more minor cramps on my left side again today and yeah that's the day after af is due. I don't think I usually get any pms cramps this early but we will see. And I know it's disheartening especially when you know people having babies/who have got pregnant even accidently. This will be my 5th or 6th month of trying. I know it isn't a lot compared to other people but still feels it when it's the same routine each month. Oh well maybe this is the month

Good luck @starryx !!

I'm having brown spotting/stringy discharge today on CD15 of a 27 day cycle. Weird.

@LuceNumberTwo you always make me laugh as your on one like me 😂

I’ve had a light tests when apps say I was ovulation so I’m starting think my darkest test was when I OV. I’m cycle day 17 today. So I’m either 5DPO or still waiting! Been ill with a cold since New Year’s Eve.

This is my testing

Thank you! And hm could it be ovulation bleeding?? I had it once but it was more pink?

@starryx hmm it was light watery pink the other day and now it's brown when I wipe with some stringy bits. I don't think I ovulated this cycle :( and I don't think it would be implantation bleeding as I DTD 26th, 27th, 28th and 31st. So too early surely. Also I'd be floored if I was lucky enough to be pregnant in month 1 so not expecting that at all x

Random question, I take seven seas vitamins and vit C. This week they have made me feel so sick. Has anyone else had this? I have taken them before with baby number 2 although I do remember I had to stop when pregnant as they were making me throw up 🤮

@H938 Ohhhh! I take these but I've been fine with them so far.. Maybe it's a sign for you? I have been feeling a bit sick & yuck, also my body is aching, & boobs have like a burning feeling when I have my bra off, & cramps to top it all off 🤣 do love a symptom spot!!
Are you still holding out on testing? How are you feeling other than the sickness x

@Newmumwales Hahaha! Oh god I'm honestly terrible, I just rattle on sometimes. I though my DD went back to school today but it's tomorrow... Head up arse!.
Your ovulation tests look dark? Having you been baby dancing still? X

@LuceNumberTwo we only DTD once on cycle day 11 night before my test went dark. Next cycle I will be trying though and have DP on board. I’ve been so ill since New Year’s Eve. My BBT sky rocketed this morning to its highest. Where are you now in your cycle? My DD doesn’t start back to school until the 9th 🙈

@LuceNumberTwo do you feel different this month? Isnt it hard trying not to think everything is a sign 😂. I feel fine other than that, im trying my hardest not to overthink the tiny things and im doing quite well. Deffo holding out on the testing. Im hoping you will come with the good news on Monday 🤞🏼 and then il only have two more days to wait. I only have a digital one at home so dont want to waste it. Also ive scared myself by googling how long it takes people to get pregnant and it says average is a year!!! But also I read loads of women fell sucessfully using the SMEP although I think my timing was quite good this month im 99% sure we dtd the morning and I ovulated that day so surely thats the sperm meeting the egg bit 🤣 X

So I think I ovulated cycle day 12? I DTD cycle day 11 night. Today I’ve got loads of watery CM I’m very wet (TMI sorry) and I’m ill so that would maybe explain the rise in BBT this morning.

@H938 Yes I do, but I'm also slightly mental when it comes to pregnancy so any wee slight difference I'm like are you in there fetus 👀👀 🤣
Oh yeah don't waste that! They aren't cheap either, I see these girls on tik tok who literally take them daily, like as part of early testing too.. Don't get me wrong I'm so so eager to be pregnant but at £20 a pop, I usually don't get the digital until I see a line on a cheapie.. I so hope Monday I'm back here telling you all, I'm honestly so desperate 😭 going on a year pretty soon that we've tried. But I have fell so I take that as a pro.. That sounds like a good plan to follow, if I don't fall this month I'm thinking of trying the temping thing, it just confuses my small brain 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Newmumwales ahh I see you temp! So is it just a stick it up there & record temp? A big dip.means ovulation basically? Looks very complicated but it's probably not!
Hope you are feeling better soon & maybe these are signs. If not atleast you'll be aware of what you've to do next cycle.. So long and frustrating..
I'm 7/8 dpo today, ive actually taken a bit of a mental health dive early this morning & took my dog on a 3 mile walk. So now I'm on the couch with my duvet & fluffy oodie on 🥰🤣

Hi all,

Popping back in after the Christmas rush! I'm now two days late for my period. I am getting very very faint positives on the cheap tests I have... I'd love for this to stick but having had a chemical before I my hopes are about as grounded as they could be!

I have read that the particular brand I have can be quite faint and lots of reviews saying they're not good for tracking progression. I think I will wait to see what happens this week and get a Clear Blue at the weekend.

Not quite how I imagined this all going! 😞

@LuceNumberTwo i feel different that usually my boobs are sore and they’re not lol 😂 im sat with my oodie on too and you know when you sit here and feel every little movement in your womb 🤣🤣 that’s me sat here today feeling twinges but then im like stop you crazy woman!!! This is only our first cycle and we only DTD once so im not hopeful! I saw your on a TTC journey of a year. I really prey for you. If I go by my darkest test I’m 6DPO too so we can keep each other company until AF or hopefully NOT AF lol

Had headaches all week, struggling to sleep, so anxious (heart racing), feeling sick, weeing loads

Have no idea if these are symptoms or I’m just falling apart at the seams 🤣 I’m only 5dpo and apparently my period is due in 4 days cause I’ve had messed up cycles so I feel like I’ve got no idea where I’m up to!

@ttcbabyno1x im the same hun, I’ve no idea where I am. I just know I’m cycle day 17. One app says I’m 6DPO 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

@Newmumwales Just gonna wait and see if my period arrives! So annoying isn’t it!

*cycle day 18 sorry and feel ill with a virus.
