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. 🙂

Congratulations! I am loving this thread, very excited for you 😀

I'm thinking the same thing for myself tbh x

@ThatSnugSwan those are clear lines! Happy for you x sending sticky vibes

Tentative congrats to all with lines 😊 very exciting! I am about 6dpo and really trying to remain patient. No symptoms of note except for bloating and irritability which I also flagged around the same time with my last 2 pregnancies that ended in MC. They are also classic PMS signs for me but usually happen later in the cycle 🤞

Anyone else symptom spotting? 🫣

Not long until you can test! Hope AF stays away for you
I am waiting for my fertile window at the minute so I'm just here, rooting for many more positive tests to be shared. Hope it'll be yours soon

I’m around 5/6dpo! & the symptom spotting has begun! I get annoyed at myself cause I know it’s to early but still it begins! 🙈

I’ve felt a little bit off today and having a few dull pains in groin but honestly could all be PMS for me too! I’m due any time next week. NC has 17th but that’s on 31 day cycle and mine have been much shorter recently.

I know the feeling! I really thought I would have better will power this month but it's all consuming 😅 I will have to keep myself busy this weekend!!

Flo has AF due the 16th for me but I have been spotting 3/4 days before AF recently. I should have some idea by Sunday/Monday and then I can stop torturing myself for 2 weeks 😆

Are you an early tester or will you hold out?

Is anyone else still not hit ovulation for January or just me? Should be this weekend!

I start the tww with the best intentions then get to like 5 DPO and loose my mind 😂

I’m not sure why my app has me as the 17th cause I haven’t had a 31 day cycle in months! Is more like 26/27 days recently so if she’s not arrived by next Wednesday I’m testing!

I have tested early in the passed from around 10 DPO but to be honest it just wreaks my head with the ‘is there a line or not’ I love looking at other people’s tests just not my own 😂 too much anxiety.
So I’ll wait till what should be 12/13 DPO and test if af not arrived! I’ve got none in the house either so can’t be tempted 😂

will you test at the weekend?

@Mama09876 I'm going to try hold off until AF is due but can almost guarantee that if there's no spotting by Monday, I'll be reaching straight for the tests 😅

Thank you @BloomingOrchidea! Spending you all the luck ✨

What cycle day are you now?
Im waiting for my fertile window, still a bit early but hopefully i will ovulate earlier than last month (day 24 last time 🫠)

@LozElle @km9371 how you ladies feeling this morning? I think we’re all roughly around the same 6/7 dpo!

I’ve woke up with a right headache and a real wave of nausea! Didn’t want my dinner last night & tried a bagel this morning and just wasn’t going down. I have had it before my af where I feel a bit sick so I recon I’m due Monday/Tuesday or the other possibility is pregnant 😂😅 just trying to disregard any symptom to not get my hopes up! I defo don’t feel right this morning though.

@Mama09876 oh fingers crossed they are good signs!! I'm the same, I'm trying to disregard any twinge or symptom I feel 😂 I actually feel fine so I think AF will show up on cue next week! I've decided I'm booking a nice sun holiday for July if we have no joy this month, so I feel like it's a win win 😆 not sure that's a good coping mechanism for every month 😅

@LozElle im hoping good signs but not getting my hopes up yet. When we had a little break I sort of monitored my ‘symptoms’ those months and I still got the groin pains/headache/sickness for a day or so, it’s literally all the same as if I was pregnant and there would of been no chance cause we defo didn’t try those months. So really not getting hopes up 😂

With my 1st the only thing really that told me was my BBT stayed really high but I haven’t been taking my BBT for about a year 🤦🏼‍♀️

We did exactly the same! This weather was getting me down so I had to book a holiday 😂😂🙈

Cycle day 15 for me today! I ovulate a bit later so still waiting for ovulation but in the fertile window according to Flo :)

I'm on cycle day 16 and not hit ovulation yet! I alternate between longer and shorter cycles each month and Jan should be a longer one, so will probably be next week for me. I have short luteal phases and have been trying some things to help, so I'm hoping I'll ovulate this weekend (fingers crossed)

Fingers crossed! I'm impatient just waiting for ovulation let alone the two week wait! My longer cycle annoys me.

@Wednesdayonline me too 😅 Hopefully this will be a good month!

Well AF is due anytime between Now and Monday, though if it doesn't suddenly go scew wiff it should be here Friday....soo I'm not testing untill tomorrow as I have to wait for test to be delivered anyway, they're 10miu and the others I had got from shops where 20 and 25. And I'm now later in my cycle. So I'm kinda thinking if it's negative tomorrow then most like AF will come.
However trying not to symptom spot is so difficult 😅
I'm about 9dpo now, and i know it was too early for most symptoms anyway, but today I did get some slightly discoloured discharge, which looks like that of either my period is about 24 hours away oooor implantation maybe 🤔 idk
What symptoms if any, are others kind of experiencing?

Hiya!! I have been MIA for a few days. It's so hard not to symptom spot!
I think I am 9dpo today, and I am also feeling very sick / no appetite which is very unlike me. I think I'll do a test in a min because it satisfies the urge to wee in a pot 😂😂

7 dpo and sore 🍉🍉, feeling tired, weird dreams. Still too early for anything! And 9 dpo is good, you're not out until AF shows. When are you planning on testing?

HI all,

New here, so I don't understand all the terminology!

On cycle 1 and trying to conceive for the first time so no idea how simple or difficult this is going to prove to be!

TBH I don't feel like I massively know what I'm doing in regards to tracking ovulation and knowing when to test vs just waiting to see if AF comes!

Hoping to learn from all of you and sending everyone good luck 😊

Still feeling so sick today & some weird sharp pains but could just be period ready to arrive after the weekend.

Did you do a test? How did you get on?

@Mama09876 it is so difficult to know if it's af symptoms of pregnancy symptoms isn't it! when do you think you will test?

I think there's a really faint line but I always think that 🤦🏼‍♀️
