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 tried putting in new tip into the test stick to see does it recalibrate but no doesn't....anyways just wondering....cause I never used before...
Ok a few testing early January...lots bfp on Dec thread so hopefully will get some....

Welcome everyone!! 🙏 I'm so glad I'm off af ... I stopped at day 4 instead of 5? Would this affect anything?

It’s unlikely to. Is your cycle normally pretty regular? Do you know when yo normally ovulate?

Hi
Can I join? I have started TTC for number 2 this month. I was incredibly lucky and conceived second month of trying with my 2 year old but I am now 34 and for some reason I feel like I can't be that lucky again. I suppose only time can tell.
We are putting a time limit on it and if I don't conceive in a year we are taking it as a sign that we are one and done..Though I do wonder if I will the same on a year if I don't conceive.

When did you start testing? For a 29/30 day cycle you need to start testing cycle day 8. Each month you use the same test, it gains a better understanding of your hormonal clues and is able to predict earlier.

Also, you can ovulate up to two days after the static smiley, so if you ovulated on cd14, you’d still have a 13 day luteal phase.

I started testing day 10 as instructions said so, 10,11, all circle, day 12 got the static smiley....
Il test earlier if needed next month...
First time using so just figuring it out....
Yeah I read once get the smiley can ovulate up to 2 days after....
My cycle is 29 days odd month 30, but I got smiley on day 12...
each month I use the same test? Sorry I don't understand...because its fixed on the smiley face...
Well the clear blue test stick is fixed on a smiley face so I can't reuse...

Aw bless you, that must be awful! Sorry you've had to go through that but good to know you've had lots of support from the hospital. If it makes you feel any better, there's 6 years between me and my sister and I think it's a great age gap! We were close enough in age that we'd play together as kids but far enough apart that there was never any competition or jealousy over who'd done the best in their exams, who got the better Christmas presents, who learned to drive first, who got married first etc etc, and we're so close now as adults. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞❤️

We've purposely not told anyone we're going to start trying and if anything we've made out we want to wait a few years so there's no pressure from family or friends if it doesn't happen quickly. My SIL has just announced she's pregnant with the first grandchild on my husband's side so that should keep my in laws quiet for a while too 😂

My cycle is pretty much regular and honestly I don't bother testing because it stresses me out and I dtd pretty much everyday so

You use the same device, not test, sorry! So the more you put tests into the device, the device begins to “know” your body better and predicts more accurately and will add more flashy smiley faces to give you more notice.

It’s not unheard of to go for cycle to static smiley. CD 12 for a positive lh sound doesn’t sound early for a 29/30 day cycle.

Ah, yeah, if you dtd every day anyway, no need to track ovulation!

Hi ladies,
I hope this is not triggering for anyone
But I took a pregnancy test today and I see something but just not sure my eyes are deceiving me. Would you mind if I posted it and you tell me what you think? Xx

Yes absolutely, upload a photo and I will let you know my opinion xx

Third day after period and I noticed I have light pink in my discharge???
Did feel minor cramps earlier and hormones seemed to be kicking up
Thinking if this is delayed tiny bit of blood or maybe early ovulation?

Aw ☺️ thanks

Oooo I see a line!! Take a test first thing in the morning

I'm 10DPO tomorrow and have some early tests to take in the morning. I am really emotional which is unlike me, have cramping like a stitch feeling which I've never had before and sore boobs. I'm either pregnant or about to have a wild ride of PMS

I have exactly the same! Let me know how you get on? I’ll update too x wishing you luck x

Hi everyone, I’m on the December thread and flying a bit blind due to PCOS!

Been DTD every other day-ish since CD14, it’s now CD28 and I’ve had zero pregnancy symptoms so I thought I’d jump on the Jan thread early.

Wishing you all the best of luck ladies x

Period has arrived for me today so will be joining here!
TTC baby 2 and will be going on to cycle 8 now...

@Chocpot1986 I see a line! Test again tomorrow and let us know how you get on 🤞

Did my early clear blue test 10DPO / 5 days before missed AF and BFN :(

Oops sorry wrong thread 🫠

Any thoughts?
As I have light pink discharge again this morning

@starryx I usually get that at the tail end of my period so sounds like that. I don't usually get it mid cycle but I'm not 100% x

Did another test today and it was BFN. No hint of a line so I guess the previous test was an evap line? Their very cruel things arn’t they 😢

Joining on from Dec… second month ttc now. Going to try to chill out more this month - also going to still enjoy Christmas and have a drink and just go with the flow (easier said than done). I think I will ovulate Christmas day/ just after 😲 not ideal haha! Good luck everyone xx
