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 :)

I'm officially mad and lost the plot!!!!

found myself online looking at baby clothes and pregnancy announcements. Shoot me now! Let me sleep until 12th January please.

@Newmumwales your last one really made me laugh!! 7dpo is way early anyway so just keep testing if you cant help yourself. Funny you should say about baby clothes, I was looking today aswell 😂. Im deffo not testing until next thursday, I dont want the disapointment. My youngest just said to me ‘when we have our new baby sister’ 👀 so hopefully thats whats coming 🤣

@Wyewaving A couple of us on here have been using them, they do seem to work well, when I fist used it someone told me you need to use it a couple of times first go. I got a blank circle and then static smiley in the same day! So maybe try a couple times throughout the day but also your LH strips should be dark at the same time (says me on what ive learnt of 3 months of being on here 😄)

@Newmumwales Yaaaay! Would you like to join me on the pyscho bus?! I tested today too.. infact I tested 6dpo.. so yeah! 🤣 negative as fooook

But I'm having so many symptoms, I'm so convinced I'm pregnant otherwise the pms has ramped right up for me. My boobs are constantly burning, metallic taste & feeling on & off sick. My boobs aren't easing at all like it's constant burning, I've actually never had this symptom in previous pregnancies! Im even more mental because I'm convincing myself it's twins.. Why, why why why 🤣🤣

@H938 Its devastating isn't, like to find out something super amazing but it all be taken away from you very quickly, it's the worst & even when I do get my rainbow, I'll never forget what I went through
DP is desperate for a boy so says if it's a girl we will go again... Eh doubt it love, don't think it works that way! Im all for mummy of 3 but to me I don't care what it is haha!
I can't remember if you said, I know you have other kids, how many do you have?

X

Also guilty of looking at accouncement plaques and baby clothes today… I ovulate tomorrow 🤣

How would you guys announce?

Like I just kind of spilled the beans with my DD 🤣🤣 I was only about 4 minutes pregnant! X

@LuceNumberTwo Yeah it really is!! Hopefully this is your time! Maybe youll get one of each 😂😂

I have two girls. Would love another girl 😄 although I dont want to be picky!! X

So I have just found out about preseed?!

it seems to have been successful for many people. I'm always skeptical about these products but I've been googling high and low and people are raving about it. How am I only just hearing it now?!

I ordered some either way so let's see how it goes!

Here's a link for anyone interested

Still no AF here?! Not sure what is going on.

I managed to hold for three and a half hours. All I had was cheapies and one from Clearblue fertility tracker (not the ovulation sticks), and I think... I think this is the beginnings of something.

I used them last month...
Test early I started on cd10 but I should have sooner..I went from plain circle on day 11 to statiic smiley on day 12...
Glad someone else said they happened to them too...
Anyways I got AF early on 31 Dec so I'm starting again this month....
Il use the clear blue 4 days again...also expensive enough...
Got 2 AF in December...4th and 31st....
Someone mentioned preseed I'm using it 4 months now so far hasn't worked for us but the reviews are great...also its dear enough....
Hubby bought some fertility cup thing this month also alot good reviews on this....
Anyways seen on some insta page belonging to a nurse who works for a fertility consultant the proceive male max strength sachets is recommended for the men while ttc....so might get them.....
Also expensive....

@LuceNumberTwo I’ll join you hun! I’m right there with you on the psycho bus… not sure how I’ll announce. I’m not feeling it will ever be real having another DC.

@Wanderingthroughparenthood great minds think alike!!!! 🙈🤣🤣

It looks like my period is starting today so I am most Definitely out

@KittyFantastica Congratulations!! Love seeing people getting BFPs on here x

@Mummysparrow sorry youre out this month! Hopefully you get lucky next month!!

Saying that I do literally think it is luck because the science of it is simple yet still doesnt work 9 out of 10 times!!

@Mummysparrow I'm sorry to hear this 🥺 are you trying again next cycle? 🤞🥰

How's everyone doing today?
I'm feeling really sick this morning.. My partner had to get up & let me lay in x

I tried again with the other digital this morning after a night hold and the results are in. I'm still in total shock, I really can't believe it.

First cycle, aged 35. It feels unreal and almost like cheating. I ovulated either Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day, and already feel cramping and light nausea.

Let's hope it sticks with us 🤞

Massive congratulations @KittyFantastica! Fantastic news!

After days of pale lines on tests I've just taken a digital and its a BFN. Period is 4 days late so another chemical. Just have to wait and see what happens now. Unlikely that we'll be able to try next month because my husband is on a work trip.

I'm sad, but have to pull myself together as I've got my toddler today.

@LuceNumberTwo yeah we will try again the next cycle. Part of me says I should stop and focus on my mental health after losing my dog and being on the verge of being signed off work with stress but I kind of need something to focus on.

@Mummysparrow sorry to hear that.

@KittyFantastica wow!!! Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking how many dpo did you see your line? 💖💖

@Mummysparrow I'm really sorry to hear about your dog.. They are like your children 🥺 big loves to you! Hopefully by the time you ovulate you might be in a better mind frame. Take the time for yourself if you need it 💖💖

Congrats on BFPs! That's amazing.

I'm not due my period until Jan 15th. Feel I've ages to go before I can test!

Ended up DTD on CD17 as that's when flo claims I'm ovulating (which was yesterday). Did it on 31st too because Google claimed I'd ovulate either 31st or 1st Jan. Trying to cover both dates 🤣 I remember my boobs being really sore on 31st so maybe it was then. Not due til Jan 15th so time will tell.

I can't be 100% certain as both my ovulation trackers failed to detect a surge last month! But I suspect I am 10/11/12DPO. I was due to ovulate on Christmas Eve accordingly to both Clue and Flo, and I ovulated day 13/14 for four months in a row previously.

@SequinCola Thank you lovely ❤️. I'm so sorry to see your lines are disappeared. Hubs and I are hyper aware that we are now in a different kind of waiting game to see if our little poppy seed sticks around. Everything crossed for you for next time.

Hi love to join thread I'm 42 ttc 3rd baby partner 39. My current children from first marriage so this will be a first for us as a couple. Been ttc 2 years one pregnancy which resulted in MC in July 2023. Booked in for accupuncture next week. Using ovulation tests should ovulate this weekend fingers crossed.

@H938 I had a flashing face this morning with FMU. I looked at the CB website last night and they recommend using FMU, I was doing it later in the day as I’d read that you should ovulation test in the afternoon 🙈

@KittyFantastica Huge congratulations! You must be over the moon. I conceived on the first cycle aged 35 with my first so it’s definitely possible. I can relate to the feelings of cheating though, I didn’t feel like I could tell people how quick it had been! Enjoy your pregnancy 😊
