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?

@MrsRandallFraser So I’ve tried to use my app only this month which is usually predicting ovulation 4 days before I actually ovulate. My app predicted 24th of December was my ovulation day, but running by my normal I would say 28th December which makes it 11Dpo. I haven’t used the sticks this month because I’ve become so fixated on it I’m trying to relax and not worry.

@TrainIsMoving dont count yourself out I just "knew" I was pregnant with my little boy but kept getting BFN until 13dpo x

Thanks @MrsP20202 and @VolkswagenxLou. I am already counting myself out 😂

I had my 3rd MC in Aug, and took few months to run tests with recurrent MC clinic, and get myself ready mentally. It hit me hard. And then just my luck, when I felt ready and actually a bit worried that I missed my boat (due to extremely low AMH) covid jabs and COVID itself messed with my cycles (and probably more importantly sperm).

I hope the next few months something happens as I have a new protocol for MC, just to see if that can make a difference. If I don't get pregnant, I will start IVF, as I'm running out of time... So I have a plan of some sort, not sure if any of it makes any difference.

Long story short, I feel quite sad about AMH, but I have to stay positive and keep trying. I hate the tww though, no matter what I say to myself, I end up testing early and hoping and wishing.

Just a note, my partner and I had COVID jab in Oct and we both got COVID in Nov. So Oct-Dec my cycles were weird, late ovulation and painful periods etc. we are both taking prenatals and supplements, hoping we can catch in the next few months

Don't lose hope, the losses just add to the terrible stress TTC brings. Just keep remembering you aren't out until AF comes and I really believe its just luck when baby sticks because when we did conceive I didn't do anything different to before. I've had a terrible time of it too but keep the faith.

Hi all,

Just joining in this thread as in same position. TTC baby 2.
First cycle, think I'm 3DPO and already googling every possible symptom ha ha.
Fingers crossed for everyone

Got my BFP in writing today, along with my line progression from 8DPO/Friday night then AM/PM the last few days. It was our 4th cycle TTC #2 with a CP in the middle.

Only thing I did differently this month was take VitC every morning. I’ve read that can help with a short Luteal Phase, I also took last week off work and had such a chilled week so not sure if that helped. Keeping everything crossed for loads more BFP this month & loads of baby dust!

i have no idea where to post this i’ve never used this before, i have a 3 year old and had a miscarriage last april, ive done two tests today, after midday, This was my first one and then i tested with clearblue 2 hours later which was negative. is this positive or an evap line?! sorry if this is the wrong place, Thanks in advance

Looks pretty positive to me. Do you know how many dpo you are?

Congrats @Wonderpants3 I second the vitamin c - I took that when before I conceived my boys. Swear by it. No harm for the immune system either.

@HolyMoly24 thanks for the reply! im 2 days late on a 28 day cycle. my clearblue after this one was negative x

@mumto1girlie I think you should pick up some more tests just to be sure. Was the clear blue a digital?

fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Ella31 thank you and I'm so sorry 😞 words can't describe the pain.

Like you said, now I feel like all we can do is hope. I did some tests after my losses and found potential blood clotting issues but all the doctors said is it can be bad luck too and it's a numbers game... So I have some aspirin and injections to take when I get positive but until then I will keep trying and hoping something comes out of it.

Are you doing anything different or planning on doing anything different?

@HolyMoly24 i have another test, the clearblue was one of those + ones xx

@mumto1girlie looks Positive to me. Did you use the same urine for clearblue are the tests the same sensitivity?

@mumto1girlie that looks like a good line. Is this one early detection but the other not?

@Gracie1825 no this was my first test then i stupidly tested during the day and got negatives!

@siobhanmt247 its just a standard tesco test, then i used a clearblue and the other tesco test which both come back neg x

@mumto1girlie fingers crossed for you tomorrow morning

@siobhanmt247 thanks so much will update in the morning x

Hi everyone, do you mind if I join?

DH and I trying for baby #1 following miscarriages in Sept and Nov last year. Currently 7DPO and trying really hard not to let the TWW take over!

Looking forward to seeing everyone's positive updates on this thread 😊 x

Can I join as well? Currently TTC #1 since October last year, so in the TWW of cycle 4 at the moment. We missed my peak last week though so not holding out much hope for this month.

I think my luteal phase is a bit short as well (about 11 days) so planning to start looking at taking supplements to try and increase it if no luck next month.

@Liz2681 and @Hydrangea60 welcome both! the dreading tww is always the worst so i hope it goes by quickly for you both, sending lots of luck x

@mumto1girlie i think it was just not as strong a sample later in the day.. test again in the morning..you already had a positive so I'd shocked if that wasn't the case again first thing tomorrow x

Not doing anything different as I know my early mc's were just bad luck and so was the loss of my twins. I had a rare type of twins and unfortunately what could go bad, did in my final trimester. So I'm doing exactly what I did before I conceived them. Proceive prenatals, vitamin c and exercise. Also using concieve plus gel when dtd.

What about you? I'm sorry to hear about the blood clotting, but that sounds right with the aspirin and injections, so fingers crossed.

11 isn't short..that's what mine always was and I conceived 3 times with it. So don't worry.
