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).

Fingers crossed @Scottish1. I’m yet to see whether DH can do 6 in a row Grin. On another note, I usually have 27/28 day pretty regular cycles, but obviously ov quite late - is a 10 day luteal phase ok..?

Scottish1 · 11/02/2019 17:29

I’ve been feeling mild cramps today so presuming they are ovulation pains... 🤔

Scottish1 · 11/02/2019 17:26

Yay! @Herewegoagain84 ! You will certainly have lots of swimmers then 😂 Don’t think my hubby could do 6 in a row! 😂

GreyWolf · 11/02/2019 15:53

Great news @Herewegoagain84 !
Enjoy the BDing Wink

Herewegoagain84 · 11/02/2019 15:04

Thanks ladies. Got ANOTHER flashing smiley this morning, but decided to try one this afternoon just to use my last one as had given up hope and I got my peak!! I’m so relieved - though I think I’ve knackered out my DH as I just went for BDing three days in a row just in case I missed my peak - and now got another three to do Grin

kaytee87 · 10/02/2019 17:34

@Herewegoagain84 usually ewcm is in the couple of days before ovulation.

Scottish1 · 10/02/2019 14:22

@Herewegoagain84 not sure about EWCM I’d be interested to know too.
I have two more dtds left of smep. Tww starts Wednesday!

Herewegoagain84 · 10/02/2019 09:32

Day 6 of flashing smileys Angry though I think the line on the stick was definitely darker so I might do another one this afternoon. TMI but I’m pretty sure I had rather a lot of EWCM yesterday - does anyone know if you get it before or during ovulation? A bit worried as never got a solid smiley last month... Conceiving DC1 was so easy!!

Rachieb46 · 09/02/2019 19:01

Heyyy,

I’m in here too 😊. TTC #1, I’m 30, OH is 23. Cycle 5, CD2 so AF is in the house. Was gutted cos she was 4 days late and I really thought we’d cracked it. Crossing everythimy to get there soon, 6 friends at work have all gone on mat leave in the past 3 months, one with twins and only 1 of them actually tried to conceive. It can be soul destroying, but really trying to keep positive. 😁

tilly98 · 09/02/2019 17:52

Thank you hun! Fingers crossed for you xx

Yeoooooooo · 09/02/2019 16:29

Congratulations @tilly! How fab Smile

@filthyforfirth I can’t believe I’m telling anyone else this so it’s as well the site is anonymous! My husband also struggled with maintaining an erection and recently saw his GP. After some health checks he was given viagra (a generic version not the brand) and all is fine!

According to the ovulation tracker I’m in my fertile window so we are making the most of them! Grin Hope that helps. He really didn’t want to seek help but knew eventually he had to do something. I love him even more for it Smile

Bluebell9 · 09/02/2019 12:43

My temp didn't stay up so I'm not sure if I've ovulated or not yet. I did have a sore throat on the day my temp was up so it could be that.
Hello to all the new posters. Fingers crossed for us all.

coconutlatte44 · 09/02/2019 11:42

Hi @GreyWolf, welcome!

I can relate - a little part of me is sure it's magically already happened on our first try! I have 4 days left until af is due so just counting down the days now. Good luck on your next few weeks!!

Herewegoagain84 · 09/02/2019 11:09

Thanks @scottish1 and @kaytee87! Fingers crossed Smile

kaytee87 · 09/02/2019 10:37

@Herewegoagain84 last month and this month I got 5 days of flashing before a static.

Scottish1 · 09/02/2019 10:19

I got 5 days of high fertility and just got peak today so hopefully you will get static tomorrow @Herewegoagain84

GreyWolf · 09/02/2019 09:05

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking but now going to be brave and join in!

Age 34
Ttc #1
Cycle 1
Cycle day 17

Should ovulate Monday/Tuesday, AF due 25th Feb.

Even though this is cycle 1 I'm already going a bit bonkers - trying to be logical and accepting that it might take a while, then a little voice says "but you could get pregnant first time!" and my expectations go all over the shop Grin

Also trying to just concentrate on me and DH - there have been a few announcements recently from friends, which really shouldn't affect us but makes us unreasonably feel a bit crap, and that we shouldn't have waited so long before committing to trying.

(Sorry for the mammoth post.)

Herewegoagain84 · 09/02/2019 09:04

I’m on day 5 of flashing smileys Hmm... has anyone else used the clearblue advanced ovulation tests? Hoping for a peak tomorrow!

Scottish1 · 09/02/2019 06:52

Got my peak this morning on CBFM ladies so we’re going to attempt the 3 days in a row tactic! Got some red meat in for the hubby 😂

TeaBea2019 · 08/02/2019 21:43

@FilthyforFirth sperm lasts 5 days inside you, not alls lost yet. Equally you don't have to have sex to get pregnant, filthy dirty fun and games may be the answer for you two? 💐

TeaBea2019 · 08/02/2019 21:38

TTC#1 came off Noriday in Nov, cycle 2 (I think...shit at this sort of thing! I say 2 as I came off the pill on the first or last day of a break through bldg, can't remember).
Cycle began 31st Jan, so going to cast our roulette for the first time during the next couple of weeks.

FilthyforFirth · 08/02/2019 20:45

Thank you everyone. I am trying to accept it's over for this month. I have insisted DH get viagra to see if that helps next month.

I feel gutted that I have another month to wait until my fertile window. Feel like I am just wishing my life away.

@cattaxi I can see a line too.

lizzie198 · 08/02/2019 19:56

@cattaxi I can see a line congratulations and hope it doesn't make you too poorly x

cattaxi · 08/02/2019 19:50

Here you go @lizzie198 and @ovacado23. That was a mid afternoon wee. Will test again tomorrow am.
It’s a cheap eBay test.
My DH is being very calm. All i’ve Managed to say so far is “fucking hell”
I had HG with my first and am so scared of feeling like that again.

Fertile Feb!
Ovacado23 · 08/02/2019 19:39

Poas addict here- did one lastnight and today Grin scratching my head at the test i did today? It looks like a mfp tho? Confused because i thought it would be blank (like every other month at this point in) Its all smudgey like there was too much ink or w/e I know the tests are cheap and crap but cant be forking out 12 quid everytime i feel like doing oneWink Id like to see your test @cattaxi which brand did you use? Mfp = maybe faint positive
