January TTC Support Group 💚

[MyGardenDaisies]

Hello!

Since I created the December one, making one for January!

A supportive place to chat for those that are:

• starting to TTC in January
• will be testing ovulation/pregnancy in January

all welcome! 🤗

Hi all,
im afraid I haven’t read the previous 26 pages 🙈.
I am on cycle 4 of ttc and really need people to talk too. It is so demoralising. I am 8dpo and starting a tiny bit of spotting today. That is consist for a normal failed cycle for me. Af will start in the next week.
im so sad and disappointed. Being Christmas we want all our this month! BD through all 5 of fertile days, ovulation day and day after!

Hi, welcome to the thread! 💕 It's such a tough journey and completely normal to feel disappointed and sad. Especially when it feels like you're doing everything right. It's even harder around the holidays when the emotions av amplified and you're wishing for that special news. Many of us here knows exactly how demoralizing it can feel. Sending you lots of love and baby dust for the cycles ahead 💗

Thank you ❤️ totally understand how you feel, hope you get your BFP soon too. I’m sure our time will come, it’s just hard to be patient sometimes! x

10dpo and a positive on a clear blue this morning. I do have a digital but I think I'll take it Friday when my period is due 😅

Been using the cheap amazon ones and there is a line but still very faint. Anyone have experiences with these taking a while? I know 10dpo is still on the esrly side too

I had a wee on one of the internet cheapies I bought. I did struggle to see the line and it was impossible to take a photo while wrestling a toddler, but the line is still there. I don't know what my dpo would be, but we only DtD on day 15 & 16. With DD I think I ovulated around day 17, which would make this only 11DPO so I probably shouldn't be too concerned it's faint right?
The tests I did yesterday were first response and CB so both I guess pick up smaller amounts of HCG compared to the internet cheapies?!
Just trying to reassure myself as the internet cheaper looks about the same as the FR yday.
I'll compare to another cheapie tomorrow

Big Congratulations to everyone who has got their BFP!
Those who haven't - keep going ❤️ it took us 11 months of trying to get DD.

Sorry for the second post this morning! My husband is still in a bit if disbelief so I did my two digital tests! 10dpo

yayy congratulations ❤️

I’m either 4 or 6DPO, unsure as I had 2 peaks 🤷🏼‍♀️ but my progesterone test this morning was a clear positive which is a good sign. Weirdly my LH levels had a drop and seem to have gone up again so I’m hoping that means something is happening and the tests are actually picking up HCG but I don’t know if it’s too early for that. I’m the biggest symptom spotter and I really need to stop 😂

Hey @carolinep3 💗I totally understand those feelings, and I notice you say 'failed' in this post. I know it's easier said than done but please try not to talk to yourself that way - you haven't failed at anything!! The right egg needs to meet the right sperm at the right time with the right body conditions... I had a CP last month and try to remind myself that the chances are it meant something would have been wrong with the baby, and my body was actually very clever at sorting it out super early. I'm not always able to have this mindset but I have been consistent at talking to myself in a positive way and it does seem to be helping!!! Sending you lots of love and hope x

@carolinep3 welcome to the group! I completely get how you feel but I couldn’t have said it any better than @MakeMeJuno try not to be hard on yourself ❤️ our time will come, we just haven’t had the perfect egg and sperm yet! It is hard to stay positive when you keep getting BFNs but it is totally normal for it to take a little while x

Massive congratulations @Hen2000 ☺️x

8dpo and no line after I saw a squinter yesterday so I’ll leave it until Friday to test again but think I’m out this month now. Is there a February thread yet? X

Thanks for this - it really helps to hear that it can take a bit of time! I'm on month 7 and feeling super down today, and worrying there's something wrong with us! I only have one tube so maybe that's what has me extra anxious.

Who all is still waiting to test? Maybe once we know when everyone will have their January results we could look to make the February thread? Or if there’s quite a few people who have had BFNs/AF arrived maybe someone from that group would like to set up a Feb TTC then the rest of us can pop in if we need to?

AF is due 16th at the latest for me and I’m holding strong to not test until then so I’m not ready for a Feb thread quite yet.

Cant beleive its my turn to write this im 9dpo and not due till Monday but woke up so warm and sweaty which has been a symptom in previous pregnancys, these are two different tests taken this morning. Are these lines and not evaps? They are pink just camera isnt picking up the colour and showed in the timeframe. Im absolutely terrified to get my hopes up

@ThatSnugSwan I see it, looks pink to me! Tentative congratulations, and to @Hen2000 too.

Are there any other early ovulators on this thread? I seem to be consistently coming in at around CD11/12 which feels very early to me. It's CD9 today and I'm starting to feel like it's approaching rapidly again. Not sure there's a huge amount I can do to delay it though?

@ThatSnugSwan I can see a pink line quite clearly!

@SarahB88 im still waiting, only 5dpo today

I ovulate early as well, always CD 11 or 12 :/

They look pink to me I would say faint positive!

Thank you @blackberryhill and @PamelaDoov for commenting. Im sat here in absolute shock I think. After fully drying the tests look like this. Following a loss in August Im absolutely delighted but also absolutely terrified

Would love to join a february thread! I think I'm out this cycle :)

@SarahB88 AF due 16th for me also. Also going to try hard not to test until then, because I've driven myself crazy with early testing the last few cycles.

Forgot to mention, AF due tomorrow for me :)
