TTC Jan 2025

[YKM2829]

Hellloo.
Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January?
I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

I don't know if the camera makes it worse or better 🤔

The last test on the bottom away from the others, I see a line 👀

Please can someone help me? I am probably 9DPO and I got caught by the trap I was trying so hard to avoid 🤣 what does everyone think? I will keep testing unless AF arrives. Am I being crazy??

Hi ladies,

I've had such a busy month with family things going on I've not had much chance to check here, trying to catch up!

I wondered if anyone could give their advice please as it's my first ever month trying and I'm all over the place haha, you ladies are so knowledgeable about it all! I really don't think I have a chance this month as my husband works away a lot so when we dtd we were about 5 days before ovulation - still in the fertile window but very small chance. (That's if I was using the flipping ovulation tests right lol)

I'm now 11dpo, I've had very watery brown spotting/discharge (sorry tmi) for 4 days now, nothing on a pad and only there when I wipe; this started a week before AF due so definitely not normal for me. I only ever get brown spotting the night before/morning of AF so I'm stumped! I also constantly need a wee - went at 1pm and by 1:30pm I needed to go again! Had this for a few days, I've had UTIs before and doesn't feel like that this time. My boobs hurt but always do before AF.

I'm really confused- going to see if AF arrives next week and then decide whether to test, trying not to get my hopes up as I know our chances are so slim this month with dtd 5 days before 😫 sending baby dust to you all and thank you for any thoughts/advice xxx

I mean, all your symptoms are very similar to mine and I've had my BFP really clearly at 15dpo but I had faint lines for 4 days before hand with your symptoms, so I wouldn't say it was too early for it to show.

I do see a faint line and I know the camera makes it harder to see than in real life.

Baby dust to you and you're not out untill a proper AF arrives. 🤞🙏❤️

Aww that's so reassuring to know, thank you!! I may test in the morning and see 🤭 I thought AF had arrived and was disappointed but just checked and it's just the same spotting! Never had this before so it's throwing me haha x

Huge congratulations on your BFP 🥰x

My phone died earlier and meant to post but forgot 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

But got my actual fully clear bfp Friday morning! And the other one is from Saturday morning. Haven't tested today but then also no bleeding or anything though will test at work tomorrow just to make sure it's still there and the line is still darker or getting darker.
Definitely shocked. Even though it was planned 🤣 and I was the main one asking for children for a long time before start ttc but when we found out he was excited and I had a sudden rush of anxiety for a moment 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️❤️

But yaaaaaaaay.

Baby dust to everyone 😘 I'm due around my birthday, end of September, if I go by the doctors it would be 28th September, but I know when I conceived so I think the due will actually be 2nd of October or that week xxx

Also, in my panic of seeing a line and going out and checking all the tests I could find, I could not find a single one in boots (and this includes clear blue early detection) that have a lower miu than 25. Their own brand tests where 25miu, and the clear blue early detection digital and it says 1 to 2 week detection on the thing.
Well I went to heron foods near me (up north/yorkshire)
And they have clear and simple (in pic) for 20 miu at £1.50.
And then when you can amazon 10miu in bulk, I would not waste my money on a clear blue digital other than to have it digitally state pregnant, for an announcement or something. But at like 10 to 16 quid. Not worth it to me.

Just thought I'd let you all know that even if they say early detection on the box they might not necessarily be the most sensitive ones. X

Delighted for you @YKM2829 Hoping to see you on the September 2025 babies thread. Im 5 weeks now today and due on 22nd September which is my 35th Birthday

Awwwwh yeah my birthday is 21st September xxxx

@YKM2829 Huge congratulations! It really took a while to show didnt it? Reminds me of when I fell pregnant with my dd i had also started a similar thread on here, so the luck if being the thread owner was with you 😄😄

I feel like i see something in the clearblue one once you reverse the lighting?

@Moonshine88 have you thought about testing? Its possible itll show. I tested at 12dpo with my last pregnancy and had a very strong line x

It did!! I mean there was some shadows and faints but yeah Friday morning around 13/14 dpo 😅😅

Hey ladies, congratulations on the bfps I’m seeing on this thread 🥳

I’m having symptoms… AF not scheduled for another 6 days… but I reckon I am 11-13 dpo (I usually O quite soon after AF) … Have had breast pain coming and going which started 5 days ago, which I think would be rather early for PMS!

Nausea coming and going the last 6 days. So bloated and feeling rotten. More tired than usual, fell asleep randomly at a friend’s house a few days ago lol! So many headaches coming and going for the past 9 days and I never get headaches. Thirsty loads. Feeling chilly, sneezing, sniffles - all coming and going. Crazy dreams.

Watery milky white cm 1 day ago. Usually I’m quite dry before AF.

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

caved and tested with a FRER this morning at 9dpo - BFN but I feel very off colour so I am secretly still hopeful!

@LovelyKhanum I think it's very personal - I had a CP last month so I said I was going to wait but I've been feeling so off I couldn't resist 😂but I don't find seeing a BFN upsetting so that is probably the thing to consider. I would expect a positive to show by 13DPO? fingers crossed hun xx

Morning everyone!

Long story short on 11dpo I had a clear BFP. Now I’m just terrified of a chemical because I had a chemical in November which was heartbreaking and my progression is slow again this time…. I’m trying to trust my body and let it be (although I can’t stop myself testing every waking minute).

Im not sure what I think this message will do, but I want someone in the world except my husband to know I have a BFP even if this does end in a chemical?

Sending you all baby dust and thanks for listening to my ramble!

I haven't ever had a chemical, but I'm a extremely anxious person in my old age (29) jokes 🤣🤣🤣 it's new to me anxiety,
And I've been testing every morning so scared the line isn't there anymore or it's so much fainter. And we ended up telling some family we had the bfp, because as you say I just want someone to know that it is real.
Sending all the baby dust for progression 🤞😘

Morning everyone, so lovely to login in and see bfp's for you guys , I think I'm 10dpo ish bfn for me but still early af not due until Saturday so fingers are still very much crossed as me my dh and dd are all September baby's so would be lovely to add another to that

I’m 29 too 😂 maybe it’s something about our age!

Glad I’m not the only one anxious, I’m glad at least I have a busy week with work so it will take my mind off things.

Sending it straight back and thank you for responding ❤️

I didn’t get a BFP until 11/12dpo because I assume because I ovulate quite late in my cycle - remember what’s normal for some isn’t normal for everyone!

Sending you baby dust ☺️

Congrats on all the BFPs!! ☺️ tested this morning and BFN for me, but my Flo app says not to test for 5 days until AF is officially late, so if she doesn't appear I'll try again on the weekend. Very weird cycle for me - the spotting I had Thursday-Sunday has completely stopped now instead of turning into AF so not a clue what's going on 🤣

Hi everyone 👋
Anyone ttc after c section? I am only 3 months PP and I don't know when we will try for another baby. I don't want to wait to long as my husband is already 46 and I am 37 in 2 months. I had 2 miscarriages before my baby and originally I was OAD but now I feel I want at least one more baby. I don't want my daughter to be alone, but also I really have baby fever 🤣 Maybe it's the hormones, but I would love to have 2 under 2, especially if we get a son, however little girl is also much wanted ♥️ I feel like I am going crazy as I am only 3 months PP and I know it's not recommended to get pregnant for at least a year. I think if I accidentally got pregnant I would be very happy 🤪

... anyone knows to get pregnant with twins? 🫢🫣🤣

When i had my spotting last week it was from Sunday to Wednesday but still didn't get a clear bfp untill Friday, so as it's still potentially 5 days till AF might still be in a chance xx

When I say faint I do literally mean like almost invisible is it there type of faints then next thing I knew on Friday it was clear as anything ❤️
