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. 🙂

Im CD1 today and we are planning to start trying this cycle. We had a not trying but not preventing month last month but now actually trying.

This is baby 4 and despite conceiving the first 3 easily I have so much anxiety on whether it’ll happen for us or not. Just feel like our luck might have run out.

Yeah just going to keep testing 🙁 I should ovulate CD 13-18 but who knows. Yesterday's opk there was barely even a test line, if anything it was lower than the previous days opk.

YKM2829 · 01/01/2025 21:11

Happy new year everyone. I'm only just like 3 or 4 days dpo and I'm testing already 😅😅😅 I'm a bugger to myself i know it 🤦🏽‍♀️😅

@Mama09876 ahhh lovely cycle buddies!!

We did Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - we're on holiday visiting the in laws and have been able to have lots of lovely alone time as my in laws are so good with our little one.

Saying that I think yesterday we should've dtd too but I just cba 😂😂

I hope this cycle is the one for us all!

km9371 · 01/01/2025 23:38

Morning everyone! How are we all doing? What CD are you and when are you testing?

I was hoping to test on my birthday (7th) but my ovulation was later than expected so will probably still test then but have no chance of a positive as it's too early 😂

Still no ovulation for me since coil removal, so still OPKs for me!

YKM2829 · 03/01/2025 10:42

Are you using the cheapies? If it works for you, then carry on ! :D

KittyFantastica · 03/01/2025 11:28

Morning @km9371 I'm CD18, 6DPO today. Had a temp plummet in my BbT chart this morning, so feeling a bit down. I never had a dip with my little boy's chart (who we lost in September) and it's very hard not to compare.

If AF doesn't arrive early, I'll probably test early next week as I've always had early positives, if any. When will you test?

That’s good going! We’ve been sort of ‘on/off’ trying for a few odd months but this year I want to focus on really trying. I think i might of been dtd to late, we were only covering the peak day on LH test and I think after months of LH testing, I think I ovulate pretty soon after my peak (just from the way I feel, dip in mood/energy etc)

So this month we managed Sunday & Wednesday. My app is saying I ovulate today and I got my peak LH test on Wednesday so I feel like ovulation was yesterday. (Very tired today and no energy) I'm saying 1 DPO! The TWW begins! 🙈

Really hope this cycle is the one! 🤞🏻

@Mama09876 @km9371 👋 Hi Ladies, joining and replying as I seem to be very close in my cycle too! We are trying again for our first, after two losses last year. We took a little break to get back into the right head space, and feeling positive again ☺️

I got my peak on Wednesday, and had ovulation pains all day yesterday so I guess I am 1dpo today too! We managed Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday so hoping we've done enough 🤞 might try today too to cover all bases 🙈

I am a nightmare for symptom spotting, so going to try my best to stay distracted and zen - yoga and meditation on the cards for the next 2 weeks 😅

💫💫💫 best wishes to everyone this month! Hoping to see lots of bfps.

BloomingOrchidea · 03/01/2025 19:31

AF is here so I'm out for this cycle. Good luck to everyone ! :)

BloomingOrchidea · 03/01/2025 19:33

I feel like this was a weird cycle as I ovulated super late, on CD23 which looking back at my history is unusual. Better luck for the next one !

Do I go on a different thread ? I should still have a fertile period in January still

Mama09876 · 03/01/2025 21:05

@LozElle @km9371 so glad to have company now ladies! Tww can be a nightmare. I’m really hoping to try not loose my head to much and symptom spotting 😂

So sorry to hear of your losses 😔 hope you’re in a better head place & sending positive vibes for this month 🤍

Yeah I'm so bad I get the 15per pack for 4.50 on amazon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤦🏽‍♀️ although I remembered that last time I was trying I also tracked cervical position not just CM soo I'm gonna do that again, because it's just allowed me to tweak some dates tbh

Noo you can stay, we are all still trying at the same time and those who are further ahead can always share insight xx

Im a serial tester and symptom spotter too, convinced my nipples are sore but I'm 3dpo so probably imagining it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Flying back to London from Australia on Wednesday and making myself stressed that it'll harm my chances in some way 😂 I'm sure it'll make no difference really though.

In 2024 I had a miscarriage and two chemicals, so it's been a rocky TTC journey so far but starting the new year with all the positive vibes!

ThatSnugSwan · 04/01/2025 15:32

Im a poas addict and have a big bundle of strip tests that arrived a few days ago. Im 6dpo and think I may see the faintest of lines like a real squinter. Is it even possible at 6dpo? Im not gona get my hopes up just incase its an evap or just rubbish tests. Im ttc no.3 since August when I had an early loss

Literally just about to comment the same situation lol. Been over testing massively only 6dpo and had 1 evap and one that's almost invisible but I'm convinced I can see something. Disappointed to say the least but it's my own fault and why you shouldn't test before lile 12dpo or something logical 😅xx

ThatSnugSwan · 04/01/2025 19:13

@YKM2829 This ttc would drive you crazy and forget about anything rational 🙈 ill post my test because Im still thinking I can see something but then again how likely is it at 6 dpo 🙈

YKM2829 · 04/01/2025 19:39

I feel like I defiantly see something on yours but my screen is so cracked its hard to tell 😅😅😅😅😅🤦🏽‍♀️ sorry, I'd say if you have more test in the morning as I'm like 80 percent sure I see a little faint something I know not very helpful sorry 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
