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 also thinking of you today....

Haha thank you! Definitely been hard to hold this long as I'm now I think 4 days late and I ain't tested yet. I've got a busy day and no tests yet - as it's someone's birthday today I might have to hold till tomorrow 😭 which anticipation is killing me. My boobs are sore as. I'd be surprised if I didn't get a positive honestly.

My LH just isn't rising this month. I usually get my peak CD 12. CD 14 today and ovulation tests are super low. I'm frustrated!

Hello! Im back - so sorry for silence! Nice to see lots of lovely newer names - nice to meet you ladies! My story - i’ve got one DD3 and we’ve been trying for number 2 since the summer. One CP and no luck, yet! Had a big holiday i december, no baby luck. The only positive I came home with was an LFT, and covid has knocked off my feet for a month which is why - for those of you that remember me - I’ve been so quiet! Hope you’ve all been well - huge congrats for those with good news and big virtual cuddles for everyone else.

The only thing I have done apart from sleep over the last month is DTD (lol!). Although I think it’s unlikely my body would let me conceive in the state I’ve been in, I am in the TWW with you. We didnt want to miss a month. Unlike @starryx, I have no will power! AF due monday, tested today and negative but I’ve got sore itchy boobs and that knowing feeling I had with my first… as my test was a stark negative I might treat myself to a glass of wine later - it’s our anniversary and hubbie is cooking, I’m sure a small red won’t derail things - BUT if I’m revolted by it then that’s another potential sign…

I’m determined not to test until at least Monday now (you can have a solid bet I will haha).

@starryx please get a test today!! Got everything crossed for you lovely xxx

Well unfortunately I went to the toilet and saw blood so I think this is the end of the potential :/ ill update next time I go toilet but I reckon this month is now gone

But don't know why I have had a sudden 34 day cycle with no real reason to as why?

Yeah I'm definitely out

Sorry @starryx , I find when I'm ill during the month my cycle can be extended....
I remember you posted about feeling off round time of ovulation....
I'm so sorry its can be very disappointing I've been there....I should ovulate tomorrow so here we go again...
Be kind to yourself and try keep the faith..a new cycle ahead...

Sorry @starryx 😞 good luck for next month 🤞

Thank you for these words :) and yeah that's true I was extremely flued up during ovulation so that wouldn't of helped. Fingers crossed for you 🙂

Oh no, I’m so sorry! To be late and with symptoms, is so so disappointing. How are you feeling? When you feel as if you’re definitively pregnant, it is even more disappointing.

As for the long cycle, either illness/stress, or it was an early miscarriage.

@starryx Sorry to hear you're out. I was convinced you'd get a BFP, but I've been there so many times myself thinking this is definitely it, only for AF to turn up later. I hope you're ok. At least you can start a fresh cycle and maybe this one is the one! Fingers crossed. 🌻

I'm 9dpo and obviously tested. Completely white. Don't feel any different either so I don't think this is my month either. Maybe February is the magic month.

Unfortunately, my BFP has now officially turned into a chemical. Devastated isn't even the word, so I'll be laying low for a while.

Wishing you all so much luck ❤️

Oh thats devastating @KittyFantastica so sorry 💔

Aww no 💔 I'm so sorry to hear that @KittyFantastica, sending hugs!
& so sorry @starryx .. Mother Nature is so cruel at times 😢 xx

@KittyFantastica I'm so so sorry to hear this, really am, its so disappointing....this Journey is the hardest.....

Oh so sorry to hear that @KittyFantastica ❤️ so cruel xx

Oh @starryx and @KittyFantastica I’m so so sorry for you both. Huge huge virtual hugs - I hope you’re both snuggled up 💜 x

So sorry to all those that have got their periods and were expecting different. This ttc game is so so hard.
Just tested myself and was negative , period due Monday. I wasn't expecting a positive though so it didn't hit me too hard. Onto month 9 ttc soon. Next month will be our month girls 🙌

Thank you all, it's devastating and the worst of it is that I've had horrifically intense cramping most of the night but not a drop of blood.

I just want it to be over so I can feel some tiny sense of normality, but I've no idea when the bleed will come. I had one tiny spot yesterday and that's it. No pain since last night.

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't find anything anywhere about it. Most info says bleeding begins first, so I'm both upset and stumped.

So sorry to hear this lovely ❤️

May I ask what your signs were that this ended up being chemical? I've never been pregnant so not sure what to keep an eye out for.

@elleaddams Positives getting fainter instead of darker, symptoms completely stopped after four days, and eventually pregnancy tests showing negative. Last night, I had horrific cramps that came in waves, which I assumed would cause the tell tale bleed, but there was only a tiny spot hours before that happened and nothing since.

@KittyFantastica might be worth giving ur nearest EPU a call for advise if the cramps are that intense.
Still a risk for an ectopic.
take care of u x

@KittyFantastica im so sorry lovely. I didnt want to read and run.

I had a CP at the end of November. It was very very crampy, very clotty and not like a normal period. I didnt have a bleed - just clots, like jam or nothing at all.

If it’s been this long with pain and no bleeding at all please get checked, cramps and nothing is definitely something to get checked out.

Sending a huge handhold and virtual cuddle - it’s so so cruel. But take care of you and look after yourself xxx

Unfortunately, EPU are closed on weekends, there was no answer this morning. I did promise my husband that if I get the same pain again I'll call 111.

I haven't had consistent pain, just for about two to three hours in the middle of last night. I have since had a bit of spotting when using the bathroom this evening, so I can see things are moving along. It was worrying the first two days because there was no symptoms at all after the negative tests. It's an awful wait, but I know I'm being impatient.

seems like a fair few of us are relatively synced as I got my AF today. Explains my extreme irritation on Friday and the entire malt loaf I ate on Thursday! As it was our first month trying I’m staying positive, but I do think I’m going to have to try and pursuade DH to DTD more next month…

my cycle was 33 days last cycle and 25 days this cycle so I might try ovulation strips although I’m vaguely going to follow the sperm meets eggs days 🤞 Im also tracking temp.
