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! 🤗

I can see a line on both ❤️ congratulations 🎉 ✨

Yep can see lines on both also! Congratulations! 🤗

Hi Guys if my periods is 9 days away how many days past ovulation

I feel like my body is teasing me, this is so hard!
I spot so I know I'm out, but then stop for a day and hope creeps back in even though you try so hard not to let it! Then spotting starts again and you feel like crap all over again 😭

Depends how long your luteal phase is

@carolinep3 i have a 25/29 day cylcle i did get 2 lines on the 31st but that was my only ovulation test left x

Everyone ovulates at different times so it’s really hard to say. Would depend on the length of your cycle too. They used to say that majority of women ovulate on CD14 but it’s now been proven that only 50% of women ovulate then and even at that ovulation day can change each cycle. If you want to pin point your ovulation date you’ll need to start using OPKs and/or temping.

@SarahB88 Thank You. I will

I think I will ovulate on Saturday - finally!! Feels like ages.

I haven’t had this issue but read somewhere that Proceive can cause worse PMS and breast tenderness. I’ve been taking it for 4-5 months now and had both of these issues, so I’m going to just take folic acid, coQ10, omega 3 and vitamin D from now on.
Hoping I will see a positive difference but I know it can take a few months 🤞

This is me. I’ve been 29 days for months and this month - the first month TTC I was 33… those few days I sort of knew I was out this cycle but had a glimmer of hope.

AF arrived overnight so I’ll be joining the Feb thread. I track everything so I’m not sure why/how we didn’t catch that egg!

In a way I’m glad it’s here because the quicker it arrives the quicker we can try again 😂.

Yah I think I’m going to pack it in too - hoping we both see a positive difference 🥲

Hopefully Saturday or Sunday for me - toddler is having a sleepover at grandma's on Saturday so that would be excellent timing.

All this chat of supplements is making me chuckle, I've taken so many different things over the time I've spent TTC 1 and now 2 that I practically rattle when I walk. I think I've tried everything mentioned apart from royal jelly and now I'm wondering if that'll help 😂I think so much of my obsession with supplements etc is trying to obtain control of something that I fundamentally have no control over. I'm convinced in most case they make nil difference to me (obviously aside from folic acid) but most of the time I think 'can't hurt, might help'...

Newest additions this cycle are a probiotic (because I'm now paranoid about my vaginal microbiome) and spinach, blueberry, beetroot and flaxseed smoothies in an effort to ensure a nice lining.

CD1 for me as well @EEB1989 im in same boat as you i feel quite happy that its start of a fresh cycle the worst is knowing you are out but waiting for AF!

To be honest if you DtD every other day from day 10-20 you'll be covered. If you've got the stamina then go every day.

Bargain of the day today, went into boots and found a pack or 20 clearblue ovulation tests reduced to £20

Truthfully, you might have caught the egg but not every egg is good enough quality to fertilise, and there's no way of knowing the quality of eggs (apart from medical intervention).

Has anyone tried the new pregnancy tests that use your spit from Superdrug? (Other chemists are available...)
I've actually ordered some just because it's not something I've ever tried. They pick up HCG at 2ml, so more sensitive than any other at home test I believe. Sounds amazing tbh.

@Wisher88 We did try but didnt do it today or yestersday so we have to wait and see but i have ordered a new pack of Ovulation tests x

@Wisher88 I've seen those but didn't know they were that sensetive, sounds interesting! 😍

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some advice on TTC, any vitamins, supplements etc.. I've previously used seven seas trying for a baby tablets but had no luck!

I have had symptoms of Endometriosis in the past but never been given a full diagnosis.

If anyone has any help for me I would appreciate it 🥰

Hi 👋 welcome to the thread ☺️ we’ve just been discussing supplements funnily enough! I was taking Proceive and they have some very good reviews but have found they’ve given me lots of breast pain. If in doubt strip back to the basics of Folic Acid and Vitamin D, also coQ10 and Omega 3 can be good too.

I’ve had symptoms of endometriosis since I was a teen and consultant said I probably do have it but they consider me too young for surgery - so I feel your pain!

I’m starting this year just trying to focus on being as healthy as I can… I think that’s one of the easiest things I can control right now until I get my BFP 😅

Hi all, I'm hoping to join you all but I'm 99% sure I'm out for this month, AF due on Saturday and I can feel her coming!! I think we were scuppered by my partner having flu in December! I was trying very hard to be sympathetic while also trying to very subtly communicate that I was going to be ovulating soon and could he please pull off a miraculous recovery so we could dtd...

Is there a Feb thread already or not?

Congratulations to those of you who got your BFPs and good luck to those who are yet to ovulate or in the TWW. My daughter is 2.5 and it's funny trying to remember all the acronyms!!

@AlbatrossSociety there’s not a feb thread yet as quite a few of us aren’t dye AF until next week but we agreed if anyone who’d already had their BFN/AF arrive they can go ahead and make one as it’s maybe 50/50 on who is out and who might still be in.

If you make a thread pop a link in this one so we can all find it 🥰

We were scuppered in November with being ill so just didn’t bother and class December as our first month TTC.

Hey everyone. Help please. So the strangest thing has happened. My period started bang on time on Tuesday, but I had a bit of a pulling pain that was a bit odd the day before. Today, just on a whim, I took a pregnancy test and it came back as a faint positive. I've called the early pregnancy unit and they say to wait a week and take another test to see. It's either a chemical or an ectopic (altho it doesn't feel like that as I've had one before). I'm fairly certain I can't be having this much bleeding like a normal period and be actually pregnant... right? Has anyone else been through this before?
