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

Could I have the 21st please. That *should* be 10dpo.
Last month of trying before a few months off too! I'm pushing my luck squeezing this one in lol!
Good luck ladies!
 
Started spotting yesterday at 7dpo, absolutely gutted as this has what's happened the last 4 months as well. Is it not hard enough that I had to spend christmas without my little boy, but now my body is torturing me as well. I'm so fed up now.
 
Updated to here. Really hope January is as good as December for BFPs. Wow what a month but I am still here on tbe ttc threads yet again. ..and again....and again.

What is everyones plans for new years eve...I am having a quiet one at our local. Not like me but not feeling like celebrating !
 
I feel the same Alexis.. :(
Been on here 3 years now and some people have had 2 babies in this time
Been ttc even longer though and originally thought it would be helpful to be here.. but now after this long I'm finding it so difficult seeing how easy some get pregnant :(

Yeah it can be hard and feel like even more ppl are getting preggo. I just think its somethibg that wont happen for me unless I stop trying/wanting/obsessing over it but I don't know how to give it up/stop caring/stop thinking about it ...how the hell do you do that?

If it never happens for me I will never get over it.I know that much. I will think about it every day of my life for at least 1 second if not more and always always miss my baby I never had.
 
Please can i have 5th...should be 12dpo then. Congratulatioms to all who have been fortunate to bfps. Sorry to the rest of us that are still waiting for ours....lets hope January is as good as December for bfps x

Same here :(

I'm needing to find a way forward but I don't know how to stop thinking about it either. We just need to keep hanging in there until we get to IVF. I know that's what's in store for us.
 
Can I have the 22nd please? Ready for the next cycle! We've already decided if we can't have children naturally we'll adopt. My family fostered kids when I was growing up and seeing the joy it was for them to be a part of our family, I hope to provide the same solace some day. Love to have my own kids, but if it's not in the stars for me, I can still be a mom to someone. Best of luck to all this month! x
 
Moomin Alexis Millie breaks my heart seeing how tough this is on you ladies.....we all spend our lives planning and working towards a family in the hope it will come when we decide the time is right.....yet clearly the universe has other ideas. I'm only 6 months in and feeling a ting of the bitter disappointment you must all be feeling so much further down the road. All I can think is that where there is life there is always hope and the stats mean that although it might be a long journey there is a tiny percentage that don't get that baby some way or other in the end.

I'm sure that is not much comfort but this forum has helped me just through knowing I'm not alone so if I can pass that support on to anyone else then I hope I can x
 
Can you please take me off of the 1st. I doubt that I have ovulated at all and I'm currently just waiting for this cycle to end... With a bottle of red wine. Who knows maybe somewhere in 2018 it will be our turn to see that elusive :bfp: until then I'm just going to get on with the rest of my life. Lol TTC is great and exciting, it has its lows and its highs but it's the journey to getting where you want to be that makes everything worth it in the end.

So here is to renewed hope, optimism and a brand new start for everyone! May 2018 be the year where dreams came true!

Especially for you Alexis, Moomin and Sunflower!!!

Thanks everyone. Yeah Kat , Moomin, Sunflower Melly, pidge and millie I feel we all deserve a bfp in 2018. We have surely got to make the list smaller with ppl who have been trying 1 year plus! I don't think I could get by some days without a vent on here.

I met up with some friends who are all single and no kids we went fpr pizza and beer......1girl and 2 guys and had such a laugh . There was bo baby or kid chat and I hadnt laughed like that for so long. I then get on train home and its FULL of kids in party clothes playing with toys and it hit me hard. The world constantly reminds me !
 
Kids have been out in full force today with thr dnow up here alexis....im glad you enjoyed your time out with friends....hekps to feel a bit normal! I reckon 2018 will be a good year for us few that have not manage to catch successfully x

I so hope 2018 will bring BFPs to all us long termers and I so hope we can all move over to tri one together! It's time to think positive! :) I'm glad you had a good day Alexis it's nice to be able to escape from the constant obsessing lol
 
Is this for when people are going to do pregnancy tests?

Hi Sara yes. There is usually a monthly thread for support for anyone who wants to join in. If you post your date you are due to test Alexis who is hosting will add you onto the calendar list. Then just join in the general craic! Welcome!

Thanks Nikki. The only reason I'm still here is because of the support from all you lovely ladies. CD10 today. Should start dtd. Really can't be bothered. It just feels like a truly pointless exercise. I have completely given up on the idea of a natural pregnancy but OH isn't quite there yet so we will continue to go through the motions for another few months til we know what our next steps are. I just feel that despite the odds we're that tiny percentage that don't get their happy ending :(
