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?

Definitely lines @BeautyAndTheBump1 congratulations!!
I slept terribly last night and have woken this morning feeling like AF is imminent any second. It will be a very short Luteal phase if it does so I hope not 😞

Hi ladies!

Finally joined mums net after seeing how supportive the threads are.
Im 10dpo today and I’d love to join you guys for the rest of the TWW as I’m driving myself crackers!
I started temping last month and my chart is noticeably different this month but I can’t say which is my normal. I lost my pregnancy back in august at 11 weeks due to partial molar pregnancy and my bodies been a bit allover the place since.
congrats to all of you who have had you BFPs so far, amazing news 🥰

@BeautyAndTheBump1 congrats !!! 🎉 that’s def a positive ! Indents don’t have colour and that’s a nice line so happy for you 🥲

Congratulations @BeautyAndTheBump1 ❤️

I think I’m 8/9 DPO today but resisting the urge to test. I’m thinking Sunday with a FRER but am so scared of being disappointed !!! What an emptional rollercoaster this is 😅

Sorry to hear that @Catren93 ❤️

Thank you 💚
Im planning to test Sunday too as that will make me 12dpo. Let me know how it goes!

@BeautyAndTheBump1

Huge congratulations!!

10dpo and tested negative but I know it's still early. Hoping for my bfp over the weekend. I don't really have symptoms other that the is twinge here and there but that could be nothing. I had no symptoms at all with my first so I'm trying not to symptom spot too much!

Hoping to see some more BFP's in this group soon

@BeautyAndTheBump1 congratulations those are great lines! 🥳 Have you done another one yet 😂?

I caved and did my frer this morning before work. BFN. Have to say I was disappointed having been awake much if the night with boob ache, just feels too early for this to be AF. I know it's still early, approx 10 dpo today, but I'm feeling less convinced it'll be good news this month now.

Also repeated my opk strip test just to see what happened and compare to yesterday's, and it was a lot paler today, so who knows why yesterday's was so strong. Perhaps I get a LH mini surge in the middle of my tww/before AF, or maybe some crazy double ovulation thing/slow fall in that hormone after ovulation. With COVID in play this month I'm not going to over think it but might see if it does it again next month purely out of scientific interest.

I will do @Catren93 , it’s nice to see people at the same stage! Feels like this week has been the longest week ever. Going into Implantation days now so hopefully we start to get some reassuring symptoms!!
fingers crossed for the weekend for everyone!

@Catren93 so sorry to hear that. Fingers are tightly crossed for you!

@Puddingpie1234 we’re at the same stage, I’m 8/9dpo too although you’ve got better patience than me as I’ve been testing even though I know it’ll be negative!

my cramps have ramped up a notch today so I’m thinking my body is gearing up for AF!

@Sarah452 maybe implantation?
everyones symptoms are so so different!! Keep us posted 🤞🏻have you been TTC for a while?
AF isn’t due until next Friday/Saturday so feel like it would just be a complete waste of time right now... I’ll keep you posted if I decide to do a test.

Thankyou so much to everyone for your congratulations! I took another test this afternoon in hopes there would still be a line so I could tell DH when he's home from work and the line looks darker. I hope its a sticky baby 🥹🤞 my main symptoms for anyone wondering were cramping every day since ovulation! Then I've had nausea and been very mardy the last 2-3 days 😂

Hi everyone, I've been quietly reading your thread for the last week and wanted to join you today :) and it's so great to see so many here getting there BFP this month!

I'm a total newbie to TTC – we've been trying for ca. 4 months now but been very disorganised until now. I think I'm 10DPO today (i don't think i used the OPK properly), and the past 2 weeks I've felt really different – tight ache in my abdomen and my boobs have been achy – but I feel like I'm just making it all up tbh.

Because I'm a planner, I've tested 3 times already and all three were a BFN... so I reckon I'll get my period as planned on Monday :(

I really want to start ovulation tracking properly... is there any specific ones you recommend? Thank you :)

@BeautyAndTheBump1 i’m so excited for you, bet you can’t wait for DH to get back!

that line progression is incredible in the space of a few hours too !!

@Puddingpie1234 possibly although it feels like the cramps I used to get shortly before AF arrived pre pregnancy. My post pregnancy cycles I’ve weirdly had cramping around ovulation (which I never used to get) then nothing and then AF would turn up with no warning. This cycle I’ve just been cramping ever since ovulation but honestly who knows! I have a really short luteal phase so was actually due on yesterday even though only 8/9dpo hence I’ve been testing already knowing full well it will be negative 🤦‍♀️

@lillywolf my first month OPK and I used the easy at home tests (brought from Amazon) there is a free app which interprets the results. I also brought the clear blue digital tests but didn’t use them this month, it seems a lot of people use the cheap easy at home tests and then start using the clear blue when their levels rise. Although like I say it’s my first month so may be completely off!

@BeautyAndTheBump1 thats a solid line! massive congrats to you, so many positives in this post! for those who haven’t had their bfp yet i hope it comes for you girls soon xxx

Congrats @BeautyAndTheBump1 , that's a nice line, hoping for a happy and healthy pregnancy

AF arrived for me on Wed and before that my lh tests were pretty high as well, I had no idea that happened, apparently it can be due to progesterone drop... I also use opks for pregnancy, in all 3 pregnancies last year I had positive opks on dpo 9-10, but with last cycle, now I can't even use opks anymore 😞

I decided to do another test this eve and now wish I hadn’t.. is this an evap/ident? It’s hard to capture on camera (more visible in real life) and came up in time.. it’s the bottom test - top is from this morning was trying to compare, the line is roughly under where the line is on the test 😂)

Oh @Sarah452 I can definitely see something but I wouldn’t want to get your hopes up. I’m new here so don’t know much about evaps!
i think the only thing is to wait until tomorrow and hopefully it’s a bit clearer!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Was this on a normal test or an early response?

It’s the easy at home tests that came with OPK. It says for early detection so presume early response?

Yes sounds like it !! I have everything crossed for you!!!!
My willpower is not going to hold out much longer at this rate 🤞🏻

@Sarah452 I can definitely see something but I wouldn't like to say whether start of a line or evap. Do you have another test you can take first thing in the morning? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
AF arrived this afternoon 😔😢 I've had an awful day at work too. So just feeling mighty sorry for myself at this point. On a post Christmas health kick so trying not to be drawn into wine- but the night is young so I might not manage to resist the whole evening 🙄
Sending lots and lots of luck to everyone still in with a chance this month. Xx

@Sandwichesandwine I’m sorry that’s really rubbish. I hope you’ve cracked the wine open, make the most of it whilst you can still drink it!!

thanks ladies, I’ll take another test in the morning and pray it’s an obvious positive!
