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, just popping in to say I hope you're all doing well 🤞

@TenaciousOne easy@home are some of the most sensitive on the market. I've had positives with them before even a FRER could pick up HCG. I doubt any other brand would show you what an easy@home or FRER can't. Is there a chance you ovulated a bit later this cycle?

Hey ladies, having symptoms… AF not scheduled for another 7 days… I don’t know for sure but reckon I am 10-12 dpo (I usually O quite soon after AF) … Have a lot of breast pain coming and going which started 4 days ago, which I think would be rather early for PMS. Nausea coming and going the last 5 days. So bloated and feeling rotten. More tired than usual, fell asleep randomly at a friend’s house yesterday eve lol! So many headaches coming and going for the past 8 days and I never get headaches not even when I’m sick. Thirsty loads. Feeling chilly. Crazy dreams.

Trying to hold out on doing a test too soon, but if symptoms are this strong would it make sense to test early? Xx

I haven’t been taking opks so it’s always possible but it’s very late for my normal. I think I’m not going to test for a couple of days and see what happens.

I’ve been eating a ridiculous amount of food today and feeling very irritable which always a sign AF is on the way! Due on Thursday, was planning to test tomorrow but with these symptoms I thing it’s a waste of a test 😒

Caved and tested today 10dpo BFN 🙁 AF due tomorrow as short lat phase should of just waited

Sorry to hear about all the negative tests. My period was due on Sat and still hasn't come. Easy at home tests all completely negative so don't know what's going on. Really thought we had a chance this month.

9DPO here and BFN but know it is still early. I feel really off but wondering if I am coming down with something

I'm out this month ladies, really disheartened 😔 going to take some time to rest up ahead of next month. See some of you on the Feb thread. Take care all!

I'm also due on tomorrow. So sure I will be there with you.
Sorry that you got a negative. I did a test once and that negative was heart breaking so refuse to test anymore. I just let AF tell me that it's time to start again.
Hope you can keep a positive mindset as we go into the next cycle.
Sending you a virtual hug🫂

Finally took a digital test today at 21DPO after not seeing much line progression with regular tests, got a nice 2-3 weeks. It was very reassuring to see the word ‘pregnant’ - makes it feel more real!

I feel the same. I feel really fatigued and nauseous but I know a lot is going around at the moment. I've been reading about 10dpo being too early to test so 9 would be unlikely to show a BFP. 🤞

Congratulations ❤️🎉

I wish I could have that self control! I know it's too early to test but do it anyway. Kept telling myself I would not test until 14dpo this time after convincing myself i was last month with a squinter 💔

AF arrived this morning for me. Annoyingly late.

I don't have any tests in the house to completely avoid the temptation. I'm decided to pretend I'm living in the past, where you found out when AF didn't show and when doc did blood test.
I'm even going so far as (if/when it ever happens) not finding out baby's gender.
I'm a very impatient person and dislike surprises so curious to see if I'll last the full 40 weeks but still. Just removing the temptation entirely is the only solution.

I'm out this month AF arrived this morning bang on time 😢 so will be over in the febuary thread on my 5th cycle ❤️ congratulations to everyone who got their BFP this month x

Amazing news! Congrats 👏🏻

Hey! I'm on CD24 & 5DPO.

The wait is killing me. I've had symptoms that I wouldn't usually have this time in my cycle like sore achey boobs and a tingling/pulling on my left side, I'm also a little bloated. I have easy @ home tests and have done a few but I know its way to early to get results but its driving me crazy! But also trying not to overthink into anything, as I'm a massive over thinker.

Has anyone got any tips or advice. :)

99% I'm out, 10DPO, BFN this morning, brown watery discharge.

Congrats to all the BFPs, I'll see some of my fellow BFNs on the Feb thread.

11DPO now and still BFN but symptoms are weird and wonderful. Must be in my head 😥very frustrating... I hope your nausea turns out more exciting than mine!!

Hi I’d love to join, are people still posting in this thread or should I be looking for another? Currently CD 21 (my cycles are 25 days) bit of a back story, we had a missed miscarriage back in June 2023, babies heart stopped at 12 weeks, had no luck since, I had a scan on Monday to check my uterus/ ovaries etc as I am under the miscarriage clinic at the hospital, I had specific bloods taken etc, however Monday I was on cycle day 17 and she said it looked like I was about to ovulate (late for me as I usually ovulate cycle day 11) she didn’t seem concerned and said everything looked good and healthy, obviously I am concerned why I hadn’t ovulated already and thinking how can I ovulate so late when my cycles are only 25 days, I’ve been googling (shouldn’t have) it’s saying late ovulation could mean poor egg quality so now got myself in a bit of a flap, I havnt been tracking ovulation as this just stresses me out and I’m trying to stay as chill as possible, I won’t be early testing either as I have lost hope where its been so long trying since the missed miscarriage (over a year and a half) sorry I’m rambling now, lovely to see a few of you with positive tests, I really hope I do get one soon xx

I am trying to conceive after a misscarriage.I lost the baby in September. I ended up having a hemorrhage out of the blue in November because I hadn't passed everything and needed and emergency D and C. Traumatised does not even cover it. I am finally in the headspace to TTC again. I use clearblue ovulation sticks. I did in my last pregnancy also. This time round I am just getting flashy faces and no solid face. I have had flashy smiles for 5 days now. Can you get pregnant when you have sex when you have flashing smiles or do you need a solid? Thanks.

Similar happened to us, missed miscarriage baby’s heart stopped at 12 weeks, had surgery to remove baby, 2 days later I bled out, went back into hospital where we thought I would need more surgery, scan confirmed they had left tissue behind which had caused an infection, after lots of iv drips to stop the bleeding and antibiotics they got the bleeding under control, such a traumatising experience xx

I believe the flashing smiley is just for an estrogen rise, peak is the LH high level to indicate ovulation could be happening soon

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Such a scary experience!
