Anyone in TWW? Or TTC in January 2024?

[BeautyAndTheBump1]

I'm 1dpo and it's already dragging 🙄

Anyone else in TWW or TTC in January?

Thanks everyone 🤗

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm only on CD24 today, and my cycle length varies from 28-35 days (average 30-32), so just trying not to get my hopes up. Only our first month trying too, and can't believe we'd get lucky on the first attempt.

Will report on result tomorrow!

@PenguinOnTheMoon your cycles sound identical to mine, we are trying for our first too! Hope it happens soon for us both!

@PenguinOnTheMoon I'm 9dpo and didn't plan on testing until 14 dpo but of course I caved and and did one today bfn

@Sandwichesandwine yes it does if an opk is positive it will mean your pregnant it’s detecting hcg as it can’t tell the difference with lh or hcg this is how I found out with my son, I for some reason kept testing with opks throughout my cycle as it was the first time using them and it just kept being positive for a week I then got hubby to run to the shops after reading online and it was a very strong positive my sons nearly 2 now haha I use opks to test as it’s a cheap way to do it then going out and buying preg tests as I am a poas addict!

Up at 4am doing a test so I don’t miss the first one of the day..bfn still :( I’m so impatient this wait is hard work 😂

@RW269 also did a test early this morning but only 8dpo so it was silly really! AF is one day late and is usually like clockwork (I have a v short luteal) but suspect it’s on its way sadly 😟

@Sarah452 Awwh I’ve got all my fingers crossed for you it’s just not showing yet! It’s such an emotional rollercoaster isn’t it!

11 DPO today and just tested..am I seeing indents or lines?!

@BeautyAndTheBump1 no these are definitely positives!! Many congratulations!!!

@BeautyAndTheBump1 I definitely see a line !!! 😍

@BeautyAndTheBump1 if you still need convincing dip one in water and compare 😂

@BeautyAndTheBump1 I see a line too! Congratulations!! ✨

Definitely lines bet a digital will shoe positive

@RW269 Yes it is! And the wait is just awful. Men really do get it easy don’t they? Even if they are fully invested in the decision they aren’t bearing all the emotions of this 😂 I’ve had cramping since ovulation, the last couple of months I’ve had cramping around ovulation then it’s stopped and nothing and AF has arrived with no warning! Seems different this month but I’m really not hopeful. With my first I had no symptoms at all, AF was over a week late when I tested but then we were very lucky as weren’t actively trying! Praying for a positive for you!

I'm 42 been ttc for 2.years. have 2 boys from 1st marriage 10 and 8. Had 1 pregnancy last year thay ended in MC at 7 weeks. Now on two for this cycle.. would love to join thread. Have accupuncture booked for next week to see if helps.

@Racket81 to hear about your MC. Fingers crossed for this cycle for you! I have heard good things about acupuncture!

@Sarah452 Fully agree 😂 my husbands so excited and invested but he’s more of a “I’m not getting excited until it’s happening” whereas I’m like beyond controlling any emotions about it hah!
that does sound very lucky with your previous child! Haha you never know cramping can be a good thing too can’t it? This is our first we’re trying for so a bit in unknown water haha!

@RW269 yes I guess it’s natural because it’s our bodies! I’m trying REALLY hard not to symptom spot, especially as last time I didn’t have any symptoms (although maybe I did but because I was unaware I just presumed they were PMS), I’ve found googling symptoms though you’ll find cases of those symptoms ending in BFP & BFN. I guess everyone’s body is just so unique it really is a waiting game! Are you using early tests or just regular ones? I’ve got cheap ones and might order some FRERs if AF doesn’t show but I’m not sure how early you can use them!

Thank you. Trying not to get down hearted as we can obviously conceive but I think my age is a factor. My partner is only 39 so 3 years younger.

Definatley look possative to me. Congratulatiins. Keep us updates.

@Sarah452 100% googling symptoms is dangerous 😂 I fell into the trap the other day and I was like I must be, look at this then next thing it was like could just be normal hormones haha!
Ive been using the early tests but just switched to amazons own early tests, the reviews are really good for them and it’s 3 for £7 so I don’t feel so bad testing daily 😂 I’ll likely if anything shows on them at all until I’m due on or if I’m late do a first response /clear blue just to confirm haha

@BeautyAndTheBump1 i defo see the lines! congrats xx

Forgot to say I'm CD19 ovulated on CD17 so rigjt at beginning of tww. Been using clearblue ovulation monitor.

I Google symptoms a the time although I know them and don't need to Google. It's me obsessing.😂

@RW269 i hadn’t seen the Amazon own brand ones before - I’ve just purchased some (thank you). Arriving tomorrow so I’ll have to remember to save my morning wee in a pot somewhere for when they arrive 😂 I’ll only be 9dpo so realise it’s still very early! I read somewhere most women don’t get a positive until like 12dpo! I’m still convinced AF is en route though.
