Hi guys! Opening a thread for those ttc in the new year! I'll be starting again after an MMC in November, fingers crossed that this'll be a lucky year for all!

I'll be starting after a 12 week MMC in October, D&C in November so this will be my first cycle post loss. Feeling a little doubt that it will happen but also know it's important to stay positive. Just waiting to ovulate now.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's so easy to get into your own head with doubts but there is always hope.

DD currently struggling with sleep after cough/cold & ear infection. I've had a few middle of the night moments where I've thought 'are we mad doing this again right now' so loving your list of the good bits! Those few months once they've learnt to sit and you can plonk them anywhere were some of my faves

It is so tricky when they are ill! And ear infections are particularly nasty! Hope your little one manages a restful night and feels better soon. How old is your DD?

Yes to finally being able to sit up! A whole new realm of toys opens up to them then too, which definitely helps with their boredom levels 😂. And mine after 5/6 months of the “a purple monkey in a bubble-gum tree” baby gym!

A little. It’s sooooo hard to see I can only just make it out. Have to keep blinking to reset my eyes hahaha DH telling me I’m seeing things … wish I’d kept the wee 🤣🤣🤣

Anya23 · 28/12/2025 09:04

Try holding it for a few hours and take another test! 🤞🤞

Think I’m going to try and wait until tomorrow ……. 🤣 as if!

Anya23 · 28/12/2025 09:13

She's only 9 months 🥰 DH is really keen on a small age gap as his brother is 6 years older and has always been in a different stage of life. I also want 3 so hoping to crack on!

Anya23 · 28/12/2025 09:19

Oh wow, good luck @hopeful4us! It'll be hard but I'm sure it's worth it!

I definitely see it! Congratulations 👏 🎉

choclover23 · 28/12/2025 10:43

Thanks ladies - trying hard to hold out!!! Will update xx

90yomakeuproom · 28/12/2025 11:01

@choclover23 it's so hard though isn't it. I'm 9dpo same as you but I'm getting clear negatives so just waiting for AF!

tiutinkerbell · 28/12/2025 11:12

BellaStar2020 · 27/12/2025 21:50

Yes please! Keep us updated. I have been using OPK’s and haven’t had a positive yet so waiting to see when I actually do ovulate but have some cramps today and sore boobs which I usually get around ovulation so 🤞 it’s soon. My app is saying to test on the 15th Jan so a little while for me yet!

I'm also waiting on ovulation here, think I will have another 5 or 6 days to wait according to the app. Never know when to start DTD a bit more often or whether to wait so we don't get sick of it!

Completely with you on that! Think we went a bit too soon last time 😂

Ooo I still wouldn’t say you were out just yet!!

It's so hard isn't it. I'm constantly varying between OK let's go everyday and then realising that is not sustainable, but being so worried about missing the right day! Nightmare for my brain!

I didn't get my first positive with my MMC until 13DPO!

tiutinkerbell · 28/12/2025 11:39

It is very confusing and all consuming isn't it? I'll maybe test again in a few days if AF doesn't come.

We have just done every other day for the past few days whilst the app says we are in the “window”. I hate waiting 😂

EmeraldPie · 28/12/2025 15:07

Hey everyone :)

is anyone trying again after a miscarriage?
I just had a MMC and bleeding started 4th Dec, it was confirmed as complete over a week ago now and pregnancy tests have been negative for over two weeks. I took CB digital ovulation tests and had a negative at first, then flashing smileys and then a peak smiley on the 20th.
I hope i actually ovulated!
OPKs have been negative since then (I tested to make sure)

no idea when to expect my period or to take a pregnancy test!

xx

Hi All would love to join this thread!
TTC baby no2. Came off the Pill in September. Didn't have a period until 14th December! Ive just ovulated - only know by EWCM drying up. Only dtd a couple of days ago on CD13. We are staying with Family over xmas so only had that odd occasion of being alone aha!
Will it be enough is the question lol! If not on we go to next month but please send me luck and thoughts on my chances.
Good luck to all trying looking forward to sharing results and symptoms with eachother. Really helps on the tww listening to others and what they experience xx
