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?

@Ella31 I’ve the ones that work the Femometer app, just off Amazon. It came with some pregnancy tests in too. Just did one of those and it was a BFN but one of my tracking apps is telling me it’s too early to test and to wait another week 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s still only cycle #2 for us so I’m not too disheartened yet!

@Ella31 - so sorry to hear about what happened.

@MrsRandallFraser if you don't have opks then you could consider temping to confirm if you ovulated. I find it very useful.

I'm 4dpo and having the weirdest pain deep in my belly. And very bloated. But I guess that could be anything.

I only realised it after I couldn't get a single one here in Ireland in any pharmacy or through amazon Ireland. When I researched why, a lot of posters said they have been recalled.

They were always my go to as well and were perfect when I conceived my twins but since then, no luck getting one.

Fermometer are brilliant, j swear by them for testing, what I would suggest though is when they start to get dark - use the purple clear blue ones..

Are you testing at the right times too. Mid afternoon is best

Forgot to add, your tracking app is only as accurate as is the information you put into it. Focus on the opks first and record your findings , but don't go by the app only. I use fermometer religiously and I've got pregnant twice using it, but I don't take pics of the tests. I literally test my ovulation around lunchtime each day, and when it starts getting darker and you will notice it - I start using clearblue advanced. Clearblue advance tells you your peak day

Im 4 or 5dpo. Had weird tummy pains all day but im sure im just overthinking it!

This is why I might be not getting peaks, I’m testing just as I get home from work so like 5.30pm. Unfortunately not so easy for me to test at work.

I work in a busy public job, so what I do is I have a little makeup bag with the stick and those pee cups , plastic ones, you can get them on amazon. Really small and flimsy but do the trick. Hop into bathroom on your lunch break if you can.

I got a positive OPK today. This is cycle 3 or 4 (not sure if to count my first bleed after coming off the pill as period or not). TTC baby number 2. I've already got a 17 month old DS. I hate the TWW so much. I get really impatient and test stupidly early, even though every time I promise myself I won't, ahaha.

I'm in a similar situation@Bey
So have just gone for it without waiting for AF🤞
I also would have been 12 weeks now

@Ella31 so sorry to hear about your twins..that's heartbreaking. They've such a brave momma.
Hopefully it's just too early this cycle yet and get your bfp
I'm also in Ireland

Hi all ttc this month and husband is away for work home in 2 days from now. I’ve been testing ovulation and I’m worried that I’m starting to peak with LH now. Can anyone give their opinion on my tests for the last few days that I’ll attach with a picture. The app is telling me it’s only .76 and low today but it looks so dark the line, I’m freaking out that i will O before he gets home to do the BD 🫣. Ps, the last two tests CD 11 are the same test. I took the picture 15 min apart and the app gave a different result.
Someone please tell me that O will hold off till at least Saturday when hubs gets home

So sorry for your loss 😞

Good luck to you too. I'm worried we may have missed the window but I have literally no clue really! Fingers crossed our periods don't arrive in a couple of weeks

Sorry for your loss also, its so painful. I had a chemical the cycle before my twins and I just went for it once I ovulated and the result was my beautiful boys, so go for it if you are ready.

I hope so, I'll be 9dpo as of tomorrow, so kind of losing hope but we'll see.

@Bey @Gracie1825 I'm in exactly the same boat. I lost my little boy at 16w3d. I'm day 29 since my miscarriage, however I'm hoping to get a bfp at some point. I've not tested yet because a test may show as positive due to still having pregnancy hormones floating around. Good luck on your ttc journey

So sorry for your loss and wishing you lots of luck and baby dust for a bfp soon! I did a pregnancy test at the hospital after my final scan 2 weeks after miscarriage and it was negative so I'm taking any positive as a pregnancy going forward

Thanks @Bey I wish I'd started testing after my ds had been born, that way I'd be able to track the tests getting lighter and might be in a better position on when to expect af. I think because it was a straightforward hospital birth I've been left to it since.

Af reared it's ugly head today. First period since my csection - 9 weeks ago. But worried as that means my luteal phase is 9/10 days, whereas I was 11 prior to my csection. So anxious now that something is wrong and I won't conceive again.

Does anyone else get peak OPK for 2 days? I always get it 2 days in a row, so yesterday and today. So I guess I ovulate today?

@Ella31 don't worry yourself about it too much, if it's the first since your c section then it's probably just your body needing a bit of time to get back to 'normal'.

My first couple of periods were out of whack after my c section (that's not to say you can't conceive on these!) but then settled again.

Look after yourself now and it'll be time to try again in no time

Do you mean on the cheapie strips? Yes, just keep doing the deed till it drops, should hopefully drop for you by tomorrow

Thanks @HolyMoly24 I cried a fair but today and the last few days. Reality of the loss has hit hard with my period arriving. First period in nearly a year too as I had a chemical before my boys

I think that's what I have. I've just taken the second day as O day for counting purposes. Though my app says O day should be three days after my Clear Blue static smiley appeared, so I feel it's a little guess work still on my numbers and dates. Oh the fun!

Ignore the app and trust the stick. The app is just guess work and goes off what ever you put in. Once your peak drops, you've ovulated.

I’m driving myself mad again.
did a test today 7DPO (I think) BFN!
then went back and something there but evap shadow or whatever to play tricks on me lol! I keep getting feelings in my stomach though and making me get my hopes up. Come on AF! Another 9 days odd 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
