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?

I'm 13dpo today cday 32 2 days late now will wait till weekend and test as sure AF will arrive.

Crossing my fingers for everyone in TWW.

We’re trying daily (still at flashing face on clearblue).

I’m doing the same @Racket81 good luck :)

@Racket81 and @Feelinghappy19, hoping you both get positives at the weekend ❤️

I’m 9dpo today and feeling very cranky and sore boobs but hard to know if I’m reading too much into it! Will also join you both testing at the weekend (if I can hold out til then!)

Af came today so I’m out, fingers crossed for you all!

@Linalou12 - I’m also about 9/10dpo (I think) 🤔- I never get sore boobs even before AF but mine are sore 😭😭 and I’m so emotional one min tearful over a cute cat and then sniping at the kids cos they are doing my head in 🤦‍♀️ - might do a test tomos morning.

A but gutted this morning. Im tracking temps and had a small bbt yesterday morning (9dpo) and a much bigger dip this morning (10dpo) so looks like I’m in for AF earlier than expected this cycle :( I know I’m not out til AF but feeling disappointed

Good luck if you test @Mum37of4 ! Fingers crossed for you!

AF arrived rhus morning so I'm pit this month.

@Linalou12 - bfn for me but probs just too early tbh as I’m not even 100% sure when I ovulated. Will try again over weekend.

I’m 12 soo today and got my positive at 9dpo… 7months ttc for no.2 and a chemical afew months ago so I’ve really or my fingers crossed for this one! Does this progression look ok?

*Dpo not Soo!

Sorry to hear it @Feelinghappy19 and @Racket81

congrats @JemRose progression looks great!

@Linalou12 you could be experiencing the implantation dip which some people get the day or day after implantation occurs, which lines up with you dpo. Google it, the dip can be quite significant and lasts 1 or 2 days. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks @JemRose ! I’ll just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, hoping aunt flo doesn’t show early!

Hi hope it's OK to join... TTC for second child, although with new partner.
We are now on the fourth cycle, I have to admit I naively thought it would happen straight away was it was accidental with my first.
I know it's only been four months but I'm already worrying as I keep having friends who seem to get pregnant on the first try!

Due on tomorrow but no symtpms.... test today was negative:(

@sorcha1292 hello 😊 Don’t worry, it’s normal for conception to take different times for different children. We took a year to have dc1, first try for dc2 and tried last cycle for dc2, but haven’t had luck yet. I know how you feel though, I was disappointed for it not to work last cycle - even though I knew it was unlikely to be another first try success.

Congratulations, @JemRose! Progression looks good!

Crossing my fingers for your bfp next month, @Racket81.

@Linalou12, hope AF doesn’t arrive 🤞

My cycle was so weird last month, it’s back to normal I think this month, but I was still on clearblue flashing face yesterday, so will test this morning to see if finally get the surge.

Morning everyone! My temperature stayed down and I caved and tested this morning - a BFN at 11dpo. I’ve got very sore boobs and feeling very tired and cranky so I think AF is on the way unfortunately.

This has been our 4th cycle of trying for baby #1 and I know it’s not that long, but I’m starting to get a bit disheartened. I’m 30 and dh 33, we‘re both fit and healthy and I was an unplanned surprise to my parents so I naively expected to fall quickly!

Hi all, hope it’s ok to jump on! Probably for a short time as period due today 🙈 bfn so far, haven’t tested today (13DPO) as no tests here. Did a LH strip and it’s 0.45, when I did one a few days ago it was barely 0.1, but I know LH can rise a bit before your period anyway. I don’t feel like I’m about to start my period weirdly, no symptoms, although a tiny bit of brown spotting (tiny bit on a tissue, nothing in underwear). Temp dropped today too and my LP is usually 11-13 days, so most likely AF will arrive shortly!
chart is very wonky this month due to illness and stress

@Firestarter9 lovely to have you jump on!

Has anyone got any idea which tests are most reliable atm? I know people used to say first response early result, then I think everyone said Boots early result, but recently read boots were having issues with evap lines?

@ChaosAndCrumbs I think boots early test is mentioned quite a lot as reliable. I have always used frer but find them quite expensive so using easyhome ones and if anything shows up, I'll try frer

Did those who got bfps have any symptoms during the wait?
I'm dpo 4 today. Feel a bit tired but that's all.

Hi all, I’m back and in the TWW! I got my peak (LH 1.25) Friday night (CD16) so we BD’ed yesterday CD17 (Premom says this is when I ovulated) and today CD18 (1DPO), but I’m a bit concerned as I’ve had no ovulation symptoms at all, including no ewcm. Does anyone know if this is a problem? Sometimes I do get ovulation symptoms and I get ewcm about 50% of cycles but if I blink I’d missed it.

Also I’m sort of new to OPKs. My peak was 48 hours ago on Friday night, 1.25, and I’ve just tested now tonight and it’s 0.06, there is literally barely any line there at all! Is it usual to crash this low after ovulation?

Last question, how crucial is it to lie down for a bit after sex? I’ve been getting up after a few minutes to use the loo, now worried I’ve jeopardised things?

Thanks :)

I think I’m 2dpo. Only think I have is peeing lots. Did this last cycle

@Daisychain27 Fingers crossed for your TWW - I’m just in mine today too! It’s totally normal for levels to drop (I don’t know specific amounts), but the LH has done its job once ovulation happens so it drops right down and returns to baseline levels.

Im not sure re. symptoms, but we’re all different and what’s normal for one isn’t for another. I think if you’re saying it only happens half your cycles, it may not be an issue at all, just something that’s part of your personal cycle.

Lying down isn’t that important. Some studies show it might help, but tend to be focused on IUI which is a slightly different process anyway. Other studies show orgasms might help, but again, others don’t show this - same with laughing after sex (!) but it’s clearly not a prerequisite because people get pregnant by accident in awful situations as well as positive ones. Women can get pregnant standing up dtd, let alone walking round after. It’s literally what sperm were made for!
