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 :)

Anyone use a Fert.lily cup, I am this cycle, I've read up on it and lots of opinions on mumsnet,finding it very difficult to insert, just don't seem to get it past a certain point...its hard and messy..sorry tmi...but reviews are good...

AF due today, no signs. Negative PG test though. Thinking she's just late..

@GoldenArrow i’m also due today! Had some peculiar symptoms this weekend - my boobs are incredibly sore, i felt like i could have breastfed my friends baby yesterday (that sounds so so weird!) and im normally completely repulsed by my hubby at this point but im not!

I’ve had a couple of absolute squinters of is it/isnt it lines over the weekend and this morning so im thinking being ill has just knocked my cycle and im seeing things…! Although im a bit peeved at that as I was like clockwork before! Keep me posted at how you get on!

ovulation sticks have just arrived - really hoping next month is our lucky month for everyone on the chain. And that everyone is doing ok - sending huge virtual cuddles, thinking of you.

and sorry, havent tried a fertility cup but the reviews look like it could be worth a shot! Xx

I’ve been following all month! AF due on Thursday and I’m going to hold out till then. I keep getting obsessed symptom spotting but I’m trying so hard not to think about it - first time round I didn’t even have any symptoms! I did at test at 9dpo and it was incredibly negative ha. I’ve not been tracking ovulation just going by my app so I’ve got a feeling I’ve got it wrong! Nice to just get this all out so I don’t go mad.

@ButterflySkies hahaha they are peculiar sounding symptoms 🤣🤣 that gave me a laugh. My boobs feel really heavy but not tender at all. I never get tender boobs though, even with AF - it's about the only symptom I'm lucky enough to avoid!

Ah I have been the same this month, I had a cold/flu type thing so thinking I'm later because of that.

I've ordered some clear blues, as hoping they'll be more sensitive than the cheap one I used this morning.

Good luck to you 🤞

Also I'm the same with symptom spotting, it's dawned on me that I never normally poke and prod my boobs like this near my period, so maybe they just feel heavy because I've taken notice of them!

@GoldenArrow @Swift1602 the symptom spotting is enough to drive you round the twist isn’t it!

I was incredibly lucky with my first, fell first month “seeing what happened” on a long holiday so I wasnt tracking and didnt really have a TWW. First symptom I remember questioning was being off booze, and I just knew. Waited two days to test and it was positive. In hindsight it’s a dream situation isnt it! Roll on this time, I’ve been trying for No2 since the summer and this is the first month I’ve had a bit of a feeling I could be but I drive myself nuts every month. I’m sure our bodies play tricks on us too (or we prod and poke haha).

I’ve not tracked properly yet either, but I said I would after NY. I think I ovulate quite late in the month, I think I did with my first too. So I want to test my theory but I’m loathed to introduce another thing to obsess over, so I’m going to make my mind up on it this week!

Good luck tomorrow @GoldenArrow!! I’ll test too if no sign of AF, we will both officially be late… x

My daughter randomly touched my tummy this evening and said “there’s no baby in there mummy it’s just your big belly” 😂 which im slightly miffed about as ive lost weight 😂 but maybe she knows… (we dont talk about TTC in front of her so very random!) x

AF has arrived for me, right on time!
It's onto cycle 9!

Thanks @ButterflySkies you too! My clear blue should arrive before 10pm apparently 🤣 I'll be bloody tracking the driver at this rate.

Oh yeah that's quick with your first. Thats funny from your daughter, kids don't mince their words do they! I really hope you get your BFP this month. 🙏

3DPO it's a long wait to go yet, I have so much hope about this month

Did your clearblue come @GoldenArrow??

I got a definite positive on two different tests about 5.45 this morning including an early digital - did two as i couldnt believe it - woke hubby up, had about an hour of feeling great and ive just catastrophically come on my period. Absolutely doubt it’s AF.

Please be the lucky month Feb… xx

Ps ive just joined on a feb group if anyone else is out and wants a fresh start - good luck to all you lovely ladies still in your tww 💜

Oh @ButterflySkies that seems extra cruel and unfair! Hope you're feeling alright today. Roll on next month 🤞

Not yet, still no period but test arrives at some point today so I'll update you when I've done it. I'm thinking I actually ovulated late this month and am having a late period, but we will see x

Thank you @GoldenArrow - everything crossed for you! Please keep me updated, hoping you bump over to the pregnancy feed not the feb one…! Xx

@ButterflySkies negative Clearblue test! Feel the first twinges of period, no blood yet though!

Due on tomorrow! Usually feel like a raging rage monster by this point but I’m feeling quite calm. I’m probably overthinking it 😅

I'm annoyed. Another negative test. 3 days late, no bleeding. Just hurry up AF! I'd surely have had a positive by now if pregnant would I? 👀

Good luck @Swift1602

The hardest part is when you have to wait for your period, I hope AF comes asap for you @GoldenArrow

Thanks @RedRobyn2021 hoping it arrives tomorrow. Feel it'll be an extra painful one, always is if it's late! Onto Feb x Good luck to the others 🤞

Looks like AF has arrived! On to next month! Boo 👎

Ah sorry to hear that @Swift1602

I've still no AF. Don't know if I should take another test or if its a waste of money. Day 4 of missed period now and cramping stopped. Just think day 2 of missed period would have shown a positive.

I think AF has arrived. Well I think it is. If it carries on tomorrow then it’s definitely AF and not spotting.

Really they should advertise that it’s so hard to get pregnant. All I saw when I was younger was that you will have sex and get pregnant so protection protection protection. But literally that’s not true! DTD at exactly the right time for nearly two years now. Can’t cope!

@GoldenArrow how are you getting on???

@SlinkMcSlink I've got absolutely everything crossed for you it isnt AF. Sending you a HUGE hand hold and cuddle. Xxx
