Hi Everyone,

I thought I’d start a new thread for February following the January one.

About to start month 4 of TTC after a MC last month.

The months seem so long with a TWW thrown in but then I also can’t believe I’m about to start cycle 4! (I know that isn’t a long time for some of us and that makes me feel sad, TTC is so unfair at times)

Anyway, feel free to join if you’d like to get through February together! X

Thank you @arianasky. Did you get any closer to your LH peak?

[quote mummytorm]@AmberRH1993 I can see a faint pink line which is promising. Can you try and take a pic without the shadow there[/quote]
I threw it out now - I'm going to do another with fmu tomorrow so let's see what that shows.

@DancinOnTheCeling lol yeah no need to be scared... was just laughing at the comment that people were calling the fertilily a plunger!!!! I maybe should have made that clear!! 🤣🤣🤣

My DH may get lucky again tonight we've had a great little family day out and we have some wine in!!! 😜

Not holding out hope of conceiving tho but it's nice to take a break from thinking about dtd like that!!

AmberRH1993 · 22/01/2022 18:27

Evening everyone, just sitting here chuckling at the the tread and the idea of a cervical plunger 😂
8dpo today and no crazy sym9to write home about apart from some nausea and shooting nipple pains.. After last months bfn I've definitely learned my lesson not to symptom spot. I did this cheapie strip this afternoon and not sure if I can see the start of something or just a mean evap line. Let me know what you think...

@Purple29 when I read plunger I was simultaneously 🤣🤣🤣 and petrified. That’s fab you dtd spontaneously, 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you

DancinOnTheCeiling · 22/01/2022 17:48

@ladybuggoldfinch I’ll have a look, thank you.

mummytorm · 22/01/2022 17:24

Hi I originally comment on this thread and dipped out. I've been reading your comments, hope this is everyones month!

I'm currently 2dpo and really struggling with the waiting! Trying to keep myself occupied with my 10month old but it's always in my mind. Both of my pregnancies I've conceived first try so I'll be disappointed if I don't catch this month

Pops100 · 22/01/2022 17:20

@Curlywurly3 thanks love. I'm on the strips , I'm on CD 12, opks are visible around 0.20 mark continuously just not reached a higher reading yet If that makes sense 🤣 however not worried yet as seen so many people go from low to peaks overnight so just gonna keep testing!

Decaffe · 22/01/2022 15:06

Sounds fab @Purple29 I am very chuffed for you! Smile

Bringonbaby3 · 22/01/2022 12:12

CD 8 for meeeee! Got a wax this morning to help the fertile week activities. We did last night and I’m going to start ovulation testing on Monday (I usually ovulate day 16ish). Think my husbands looking forward to another week of dtd!

arianasky · 22/01/2022 11:58

Ah thank you ladies that helps a lot! Hopefully in a day or three I'll ovulate then 🤞🏻

mightbeyesmightbeno · 22/01/2022 11:50

CD7 for me and hoping to DTD tonight to kick off this month. Going with the Purple idea this month of emptying DH today.... let him replenish then bam bam bam from CD11. In-between house guests this month, so I think we'll end up CD11, 14 and 15 or 16. App predicts O to be CD16 this month, I don't think I'm going to OPK and will just try and go with the flow (half with the flow as I've already planned when to DTD ... 😂). Suspect this will all go totally out the window then depending on DH's desires.... but 🤞🤞🤞

mightbeyesmightbeno · 22/01/2022 11:38

@Purple29 the best kind of sex! CD13 is a good day!

jazmine38 · 22/01/2022 11:16

@ariansky this was the month before I started ttc and actually caught my surge. I'm hopeless with testing everyday

jazmine38 · 22/01/2022 11:11

@arianasky I think your chemical pregnancy has just pushed ovulation back by a few days but yes keep testing

ladybuggoldfinch · 22/01/2022 11:01

@arianasky this is how mine looked this month if that helps at all

I bought a fertilily ages ago but haven’t used it yet.. I don’t know if I will. I tried it a couple of times at the time and it was awful 🙈. There’s a thread on MN and they refer to it as a plunger 🤣🤣. I’m also one of those people who cannot locate my cervix at all. I might try the fertilily at some point but still on the fence...[/quote]
A plunger!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wow ttc is sexy!!! Well we actually dtd last night. Wasn't planned, we hadn't since I had surgery but it just sort of happened. Not been like that for a while, usually more regimented, so it was nice. Was CD13 so who knows...

arianasky · 22/01/2022 09:48

Could someone who uses this app and understands it say if this looks ok? As in do yours normally go like this then go to high/peak? Does it look ok on the right path? So stressful haha!

ladybuggoldfinch · 22/01/2022 09:47

@Mariabombia I had the same dream last night. I could feel and smell the new born baby. I dreamt earlier in the week that I gave birth to a boy but he was about 6 months old and was the mirror image of my son who was also in the dream!! Either it's a good sign or I am way over thinking about babies 🤣

ladybuggoldfinch · 22/01/2022 09:44

@DancinOnTheCeiling as far as know following miscarriage and I believe Tommy's have done lots of research on this too. For women who have bleeding in early pregnancy etc. have a look on their website. But I think with fertility treatment they use progesterone.

I was told if I test positive to start taking it but I have also seen from ovulation too. I started taking aspirin from ovulation as I've read that can help with implantation.

I guess it's all trial and error. Honestly how did we all grow up scared of getting pregnant! It's so not that simple 🤣🤣🤣

Mariabombia · 22/01/2022 09:32

@MummyMe87 last month I had a vivid dream I had a new born baby & I was feeding her. Was really upset when I woke up 😓

@Curlywurly3 ah that will be because the CB advanced flashes when your oestrogen starts to rise , then you get a static when tire LH rises. The normal strip OPKs only pick up the LH rise.
Hope you're okay, so sorry about your MC 💕

arianasky · 22/01/2022 09:30

I tested again I can't help myself I know I said I wouldn't and still a blank circle and low OPK although it's a bit higher 0.47 instead of 0.24? Just hope it does happen 🤞🏻

Curlywurly3 · 22/01/2022 08:41

@MummyMe87 hopefully a sign of things to come?

@Pops100 welcome to the thread! Which OPK’s are you using? I use the CB OPK’s but my friend also gave me some of the little sticks to try. This morning CB gave me a flashing face and the OPK stick is stark white?!

Feeling relieved my cycle seems to be back on track after last months being messed up by the MC. First flashy today on CD9 which mirrors the month I got my BFP.. time to get on with some 👶🏼💃🕺
