***** JANUARY 2018 testing thread *****

[Alexis2017]

Thanks ladies. I'm okay about it. Glad to not have to wait another day.
Lining scan booked for the 22nd so should know then transfer date and test date for next month so I'll be back on the next testing thread soon as I get the date!

Aww so excited for you Millie, wishing you lots of sticky baby dust!

 

[linxminx21]

Good luck millie. Lots of baby dust to you!

So tonight will mark the end of my fertile period... Maybe ( I'm not tracking... Aarrgghhhhh)
One last for good measure.
I haven't really noticed too much ewcm this time round. Normally I have it on the tissue. Going to up my fluids and see if that helps!

IB can get just a spot or last a while so its possible. Af symptoms overlap loads with pg symptoms so keep fingers crossed x

That's helpful to know Based how I feel, it leads me to think that AF is on the way, but it's a bit early (who knows though). My last cycle off the pill was 31 days.

 

[hannahm987]

AF has arrived for me this is my first since my withdrawal bleed after coming off the pill so it’s quite welcome really, means I can track ovulation this month

 

[hannahm987]

Is anyone in the same cycle as me, my app predicts ovulation to be 24th January and most fertile period from 20th -25th January

 

[Kholl]

Hannah I’m right there with you, AF arrived this morning and my cycle was 29 days so looks like I’ll have the same fertile period.

 

[hannahm987]

Fab Kholl I’m still unsure whether I will ovulate this month I’m very new to it all and only came off the pill in December and I’ve been told it may take a while before I ovulate! However the app predicted af would come today and it was correct so I’m hoping it will be right with everything else!!

 

[hannahm987]

When do I start tracking ovulation do I use the opks from the day af ends?

 

[linxminx21]

Use opks from about cd 10 if you have 28 day cycle or more. My cycle varies but I always start cd 10. Get possitive about cd 19 for me.
So I use 1 a day until it starts getting dark, then 2 or sometimes 3 a day when it's getting close.
Just read instructions on opks. Mine are cheapies and best with a 2 to 4hr hold of urine with limited drinks between 10am and 4pm I think it is. But some of them say fmu.
Good luck hun.

I have cramps, a light af I believe and a BFN on the test I took a few days early to be sure so I’m out for this month... see you next cycle guys when I’ve loaded myself up with B vits and all sorts to encourage sticky beans!

Good luck everyone x

 

[linxminx21]

So sorry Welsh, the is a right bugger... I think she's doing her rounds this month!

 

[WelshGirl82]

She is that... I’m still REALLY light though, this isn’t normal at all! I’m normally light for like 8-12 hours then full kicks in but it’s been 36 hours of light intermittent now...

 

[linxminx21]

Ohh I have no idea what that is.
I also am not great at knowing how long Ib can last. Are you due af? Any pains anywhere? Have you done a test? X

Hey @linxminx21 only a very light ache and not constant... I had a BFN last night but it was only 9-10dpo so I dunno tbh

 

[linxminx21]

How long is your lp normally? When are you actually due on? X

I’m a bit irregular but anytime now really, I was guessing at tomorrow

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Well legs shaved....moisturizer on....hair done...time to get back on the BD wagon. Strange few weeks. Knew my Xmas or new year BFP wasn't meant to be. Have had the lowest libido since pre Xmas 2 week wait started which is unusual for me...im usually the one jumping hubby. Then this was followed by 7 day AF which was longest I've had in a while.

So feels like back to the beginning and a fresh start today in a good way. Feeling a lot more relaxed. Have sorted some other stuff going on in our life so feeling a bit less stressed about that. So here's hoping that a more laid back approach and less stress will make 2018 our year x

 

[Alexis2017]

Lja23,sarah, pidge ? Looking for updates? Or did I miss any news?

I am cd#21 and around 5dpo. Af due on 20th just wishing time would go faster so we can try properly after hsg test.

Hannah, I think I will be in the same cycle as you. I’m not tracking though.
I didn’t join this thread initially as technically not TTC until this month although be NTNP. My cycle seems very strange though at the moment. First month off the pill 24 days, then 26, and this month was 28 with a strange AF. I hope it settles properly now. Good luck to everyone x

 

[hannahm987]

Is there a potential that I won’t ovulate this month? Have you ovulated since coming off the pill?
