Fertile Feb!

Anyone out there want to join me in trying for a successful Feb?! I’m sure there are loads of us out there can can support and answer questions :)
I’m 35, TTC #2 and have been trying for 4 months or so. My Son is almost 16 months so out of that baby stage which was so much fun (although this age defo has its perks).

Do you count first peak day on CBFM as ovulation day or day after?

Herewegoagain84 · 14/02/2019 23:32

Officially in the tww- think I’m 2dpo. I think lots of us are at a similar stage! Had lots of creamy cm this morning but I’m guessing that just signals the end of my fertile period.

I'm finally ovulating! It feels like such a long week of negative OPKs, felt like it was happening this month!

Scottish1 · 14/02/2019 21:42

@LG0914 I was so bloated yesterday and day before too. We’re you like this during or after ovulation?
I have got so many faint lines on frers that resulted in nothing so would rather not test early to avoid this happening again. Waiting until period is late this month-if!

LG0914 · 14/02/2019 19:57

@lizzie198 ooh thank you! I did buy some super cheap testing strips but I'm trying not to test... not sure how long I'll last though!

lizzie198 · 14/02/2019 19:50

@LG0914 you can use the First Response Early response tests up to 6 days before your period is due. A lot of the others aren't sensitive enough to detect for sure though until you miss your period but you wouldn't necessarily have to wait a week after missing it. I'm terrible for testing early so bought a load of the one step test strips from eBay as a lot cheaper than the tests in the shops and have a FRER hidden away in case I see a possible positive on one of those. Hope that helps 😊

LG0914 · 14/02/2019 19:31

Clue is saying TWW starts tomorrow for me so the wait begins.. feeling so bloated and had cramps all day (tmi but a lot of gas too)
Is the earliest time to take a test one week after AF is due??

muddypuddlejumping · 14/02/2019 19:26

I've just started to see a colour change in the line on my cheapie opk tests so ovulation is getting close! Managed everyday so far for the first time since we started trying last year so hoping it'll work!

Kinsella82 · 14/02/2019 18:45

Keeping busy is the only thing that has been helping me somewhat but still so hard to not obsess

Scottish1 · 14/02/2019 18:43

Not for another 10 days so still got a while to wait 😩

Kinsella82 · 14/02/2019 18:29

Thanks @Scottish1 when is your AF due again?
Yeah if it is AF on the way I'll be ok, I'll at least see it as a positive of being able to track timings a bit better next month.

Scottish1 · 14/02/2019 18:25

Oh no 😔 Hope you feel better soon! Get some rest and try not to get too down. If this isn’t the month, it isn’t the end and we’ll get there! That’s what I’ve been telling myself anyway-although hubby says he doesn’t want to try for too long but I just can’t imagine giving up on the idea!

I was really bloated yesterday and day before but today tummy feels fine. X

Kinsella82 · 14/02/2019 18:22

And of course trying to stop myself from googling migraines in early pregnancy etc is hard!

Kinsella82 · 14/02/2019 18:11

Hey @Scottish1 how are you?
I'm in bits today with cramps and a migraine which is exactly what way I felt last month just before AF (for 3-4 days before). I'm really hoping it's not the same thing happening this month. For a start it would be very early and the obv reason that I wouldn't be pregnant either :-( feel rotten. DH came home just now early from work so that I can go to bed

Scottish1 · 14/02/2019 17:45

Any updates ladies? X

Scottish1 · 13/02/2019 21:41

It certainly is @shouldntbeonhereagain 😩

shouldntbeonhereagain · 13/02/2019 20:17

Scottish 1 - I have no idea as only came iff the pill a month ago. I was feeling weird and tested all last week as well as crazy googling of all symptoms known to womankind ! Negative tests last week then waited till today and a positive. It’s been driving me mad not knowing - it’s awful isn’t it?

Scottish1 · 13/02/2019 20:01

Just looked on Ovia and I logged cold and flu symptoms at 3dpo and I am now 2 dpo I think 🤔 Probably just a coincidence and only noticing because I’m logging symptoms but still can’t believe I’m ill again!

Scottish1 · 13/02/2019 18:56

Congratulations @shouldntbeonhereagain 🎉 How many dpo are you?

Looks like I’m going to be missing last day of smep as full of cold 🤧 I had the cold last tww aswell 😔

Kinsella82 · 13/02/2019 18:48

Just had yet more ewcm!! 😡 it's annoying as I don't know when to draw the line under ovulation!!!

Congrats again @shouldntbeonhereagain I'm sure DH will be delighted!

shouldntbeonhereagain · 13/02/2019 18:31

So just found outsmart expecting #4. Planning to tell DH tomorrow for Valentines! Deep breath !

Kinsella82 · 13/02/2019 17:45

@lizzie198 sounds good!! Fingers crossed!

lizzie198 · 13/02/2019 17:12

@Kinsella82 good luck to you 😊 I think I have ovulated today had cramps this morning and tmi but some discharge this afternoon so now allowing myself a little bit of hope that we timed it right lol x

Kinsella82 · 13/02/2019 10:54

@lizzie198 snap I think my TWW starts today too. Definitely had ovulation symptoms over the past couple of days and none today. Wasn't doing opks. We dtd last night and this morning and a good bit over the last few days so I'm crossing everything. Hope it's a fast two weeks for both of us!

lizzie198 · 13/02/2019 10:46

According to my app TWW starts today as I should have ovulated yesterday although think it may not have happened or I'm late ovulating. We DTD last night so if it was yesterday or today might still stand a chance. Had a big chat with OH at the weekend though and agreed to just be a bit more relaxed and enjoy it more so will see what happens 😊
