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! 🤗

Pretty sure I'm out this month... now around 13dpo, period due within the next couple of days. Still negative on 10miu tests each morning the last few days 😔
So disheartening. Good luck everyone ✨

Thank you so much, she was a little light in all our lives.

Thank you for replying I hope you didn't find my question insensitive. I know my older daughter would absolutely love a little sibling. I just hope it's what she actually wants and not just the idea of it.
I feel like you now, better job, more freedom ie parental leave, still a whole lot of love to give. Best wishes to you on this journey xxxx

Stupidly did a test this morning at 9DPO and it was BFN 🙈 I should just wait til tomorrow. Still no signs of AF, boobs are sore and I was sick last night. I’m pretty sure I was sick not long after implantation with my DD so again hoping that’s a good sign but I’m really not sure.

There’s definitely still time! 🤞🏻

Ah just checked I’m 10DPO not 9! Clear blue website tells me I can’t use their digital test til tomorrow based on my ovulation date I know I’ve tested early but a bit disappointed that nothings showing up at 10DPO

I don’t think I tested positive with DS until the day of missed period although I was incredibly restrained that month and it was a pretty clear positive.

I’ve got sore boob and cramps (although seemingly disappearing) which are normal for pre AF. Spotting a tiny bit and a bfn this am. Although AF is not due until tomorrow according to my app/Friday according to me based on recent months. I‘m hoping its implantation and AF stays away.

I didn’t test until the day of AF with my DD too and didn’t use OPKs so no idea when I ovulated with her. I don’t know why I’m so impatient this time round 🙈 I know it helped that I was away with work most of the TWW last time but I’m on mat leave just now and I suppose it’s more heavily on my mind as I’d really like to have a baby this year for a multitude of reasons. We didn’t really have that expectation with DD. I don’t know whether to test tomorrow now or leave it until Friday when it can be classed as missed AF. I’m 24-26 days and I’m on cycle day 26 now so if AF doesn’t show tomorrow then I’m late. I will start spotting today if she’s coming but tbh I usually spot for 2 days and I’ve never had a 27 or 28 day cycle.

Wisjing you all the luck that it’s implantation and not AF!

Fingers crossed for you lovely! They always say you're not out til AF arrives but I know it's hard to see it that way! I resisted the urge to test this cycle and was going to wait until tomorrow but have caved and done one this morning at 12DPO and BFN... gutted! AF due Friday and convinced my BFP isn't happening this month now. With my little boy (3yo) I had a 2-3 weeks on CB digital at 12DPO so obviously implanted early with him!! It's so hard not to compare and I'm trying hard not to give up hope until AF comes but the waiting is a killer. I just hope if AF is on her way she isn't late and doesn't torment me!

@MummyV2021 aw no that’s rubbish ☹️ it’s so hard not to compare from your other successful pregnancy isn’t. I really hope you get your BFP and AF doesn’t arrive. It’s so rude when our bodies play tricks on us!

Hey guys can I ask, for those who have had a CP, how long you bled for? I normally only bleed for 3 days with my period. I've now been bleeding for a week and it seemed to calm a bit but then this morning it's started up again. Testing negative now too.

@SarahB88 thanks lovely! Yes so hard not to compare! Just seen you got BFN too, really sorry! Sucks for us! But hopefully not for much longer!!

@Tally89 that can be quite normal lovely! I had one in December where I bled for 5 days (only heavy for the first day), stopped and then started light bleeding again 3 days later and that lasted another week! I went and got checked out just to be sure but they advised that unless it's super heavy or you're in pain then it's not normally anything to worry about

Sorry to hear about your CP... I'm pretty sure I had one last month (off the back of a MMC the following month 😖), and with the CP it was deffo heavier with clots and lasted around 6/7 days rather than my usual 5ish.
Hope it stops for you soon and you can move onto a fresh cycle!

@MummyV2021 thank you, and good luck to you too...... so hard isn't it. A total mindFck to be honest!! 😅

@Tally89 so sorry to hear about your CP ☹️ with my one last month I bled a couple of days extra than normal so 6 and it was consistently heavier than normal period. I started spotting very lightly on the 20th and then more on the 21st with full force coming 22nd lasting until 26th. Hope you’re doing ok x

Ah OK thank you for sharing. This makes me feel reassured.

@Tally89 I started bleeding on Monday with my CP and it seems to have slowed a lot now. I’m wearing a pad although don’t think it’s totally necessary. Hoping that things get back to normal soon as I just want to try again as soon as we can.

Sorry that you’re going through it too. It’s shit.

@SarahB88 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow am.

Sorry to hear you got a BFN @MummyV2021. I’m also 12DPO and got a BFN this morning too. AF normally starts for me on 12dpo or cd28 and I’m on cd32 now… so definitely late and don’t know what is going on!
Hope you get your BFP soon too @SarahB88. I am also on mat leave with DD and it seems to have made the TWW longer! Also pretty desperate to have another this year so understand how you feel

@Miffy1994 it’s worse isn’t it!! No idea why though 😂

Fingers crossed for your BFP, there’s still time!

Morning gang - feeling a bit worried today as taken another test (easy @ home) this morning and my tests don’t seem to be getting any darker as the days go on. Took one last night/evening and it was darker than this mornings so feeling confused now! My plan was to wait until Monday (7 days past due AF) and take a Clearblue digital, but now I’m just worried I’m having a CP so not sure what to do ☹️

Easier said then done but try not to worry.
there are many factors that effect the “darkness” of lines and i’ve heard the easy @ homes aren’t that accurate, hopefully the digital monday will be positive! good luck x

AF has not arrived so I’m now officially late, she never comes part way through the day but I’ll see. I’ve peed in a pot but terrified to dip the frer in for some reason 🙈 I’m 11DPO so I guess I’m not holding out much hope it’ll show anyway. Clear blue says I can do a digital test from today 😬 I’ll do the frer and see how things go.

Eek! Fingers crossed lovely! I've done a test this morning and stark white BFN... AF due tomorrow so think I'm out this time round

@MummyV2021 oh no ☹️ fingers crossed AF doesn’t arrive for you

Morning all, I hope it’s okay if I join the chat. It’s my first cycle trying to conceive after a 4 month break following our 5th miscarriage.

I thought I ovulated on 4th January as I got my positive ovulation test on 3rd January and had cramps until the afternoon on the 4th. Ovulation test went lighter on 4th but still dark. I’d usually have a faint line on a pregnancy test by now (12DPO I think) is it possible I could have ovulated on 5/6th instead? I think I may be out this month but we DTD on all the right days and usually conceive quickly. Last night my stomach went very tight and I had cramps down below and frequent weeing but other than that nothing! Still testing negative at what I think is 12DPO
