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

I’ve put myself down for 7th as that is when Glow predicts AF. It’s Cycle #2 TTC #2 for me but also only my second cycle back after having DS, pretty sure I ovulated last cycle but AF arrived a week early 🤷🏻‍♀️
Trying not to put too much pressure on

@Curlywurly3 I'm am also going onto ttc#2 and month 4. Not sure when I would be due to test, after having an ectopic this month not sure if my cycle will be normal yet.

Purple29 · 16/01/2022 09:39

Hi just checking in. Don't think I'll be a Feb bfp either but good to keep up!!

Mariabombia · 16/01/2022 09:38

Hi guys 🙋🏼‍♀️

Joining from the January thread as AF due 4th feb. TTC #1 & on the 4th cycle.

Ovulation expected next Friday! Last month I already had flashing smileys by this point but I'm still on the blank circle ⭕️ however my cycle was unusually 2 days shorter last month.

New to ovulation tracking so it's all a learning curve... I did read that your follicular phase can charge in length though so I'm hoping for a few flashing smileys and a static soon.

Sending everyone love & good vibes

Lndnew · 16/01/2022 09:30

Hi everyone. Hope it's ok if I join. TTC #1 cycle #2. Currently CD5 and will be testing in early Feb.

arianasky · 16/01/2022 09:01

Hello all, I hope I'm ok to join? I'm due to ovulate in the next few days and AF would be due around 4th February, I'm going to try to refrain from testing early this time due to the chemical earlier this month

Brunette1989 · 16/01/2022 08:58

Hi all,
Finally found the feb thread, its all very confusing for me ha ha.
I'm in my window at the minute, trying to jump on OH but he's made loads of plans (as I try not to tell him when the time is as he gets stressed out) so not feeling too positive.
My apps say I would get due AF 1st Feb but covid through my cycle out completely so I'm not sure whether that will be correct.
How's everyone getting on xx

htay21 · 16/01/2022 08:55

Morning Ladies ☺️

I'm also on cycle #4 trying for my first.

Really thought last month was my month, had a beautiful implantation dip on BBT along with cramping, temp continued to increase really really high above control line, then late last night AF showed 😩 but temp still high this morning which is unusual. It's definitely AF though.

I'm struggling with my lutheal phase, it's only ever between 7-8 days - so think I need to speak to the GP soon to get some help with progesterone. It's very frustrating knowing early on in this process that I have a fertility block 😞

Morning ladies, AF came yesterday so I thought I'd hop over here to say hi!
TTC# 3. Flo app says I'm due to ovulate around the 28th jan, I will know if I'm out by the 6th of Feb as I usually start spotting :(

Hoping to get a Dr's appointment to find out more about my spotting, see if I need progesterone etc.

Wishing everyone lots of luck and baby dust for February! X

Good evening, I would like to join. I am CD2 of cycle 3 for baby #3. I had a ruptured ectopic on 2020 so only have one tube which makes me quite anxious, plus I just turned 35 today! I’m a terrible symptom spotter and early tester! I do OPKs aswell to pin point things a bit more.

Hi all Smile CD2 here, due to ovulate on 26/01 with AF to follow on 11/02.

This month I won’t be BBTing or doing any early pregnancy tests. I was so sure that I was going to fall over Christmas and when I didn’t, well, it’s been a bad week for my mental health, let’s put it that way. So - I don’t even have any FRERs or cheapies in the house! It’s just not happening!

Last month we DTD once or twice a day over my fertile window. This month we’ll be trying a different approach of DTD every other day, simple as that! I’ll also be tracking my ovulation with easy@home, I don’t find this stressful and it’s interesting to see when the peak is in relation to my EWCM/ovulation pains.

Good luck everyone! 🍀

Bringonbaby3 · 15/01/2022 14:44

Third baby not first sorry! Bit tired today!

Bringonbaby3 · 15/01/2022 14:22

Hello! I would like to join again :) I was part of January thread and currently CD1 after a chemical. It’s cycle 2 for me and first baby. Not too upset about the chemical as it’s early days and I’ve had them before so trying to stay positive that it’ll happen at some point!

ladybuggoldfinch · 15/01/2022 10:31

Hi 👋 I'm joining from the Jan group. On cycle #13 Confused. Two MC, one at 8 wks, one at 6 wks this one they said was a molar, turns out it wasn't at all. That was an amazing amount of stress and because of that news I found I had a chemical after because I was testing looking for left over HCG. So 3 altogether. Have been referred to the miscarriage clinic but still cracking on! I am 41 in March and have a 2.5 year old son. Fell 1st time trying with him! So the last year has been a nightmare. Anyway, I am CD 9 today and ovulate anywhere between CD 14-18.

FlyOnTheWall89 · 14/01/2022 21:48

Hi @ShinyEyes33 ! Similar situation here. I've just started having some bloods done and my OH has had a SA. We are waiting for some of the results; my first blood work was textbook. I do find it reassuring to start testing and so far it's been relatively quick and easy - they are all boxes ticked for 'next steps' and referrals I think, which is really scary.... but like you I remember saying to a friend in May last year I would be really disappointed if I'm not pregnant by Christmas (TTC stopped me moving jobs basically)... and here I am ... still not pregnant!

ShinyEyes33 · 14/01/2022 20:49

@Curlywurly3 wow 3 days old, how sweet! We visited a friend in June (ish) and their new baby boy, this was shortly after we'd started TTC. I thought at the time, that it wouldn't be long and we'd be expecting.. how wrong was I 😄
It is random and so frustrating! Just got to dust ourselves off and try again haven't we! 💪💪
I am using OPKs, found that I usually OV around day 15/16, however my cycles are usually between 24 and 26 days so my LP is on the shorter side, although I understand that is still considered ok. I also temp, have been since the beginning (except for a couple of months when I ditched it and OPKs, but that just made me worry more) and I always get a clear temp shift a couple of days after my LH peak, so I'm confident I am ovulating.
Wondering whether to speak with the Drs about tests, the thought of something being wrong puts me off though 😖

Curlywurly3 · 14/01/2022 20:02

Hi @ShinyEyes33 and welcome to the thread. So sorry you’re feeling down. I went to see my friend today and her 3 day old baby. I’m so happy for them but it’s so hard when it’s what you want more than anything. Another friend had nothing for 14 months and then went on to have a baby boy. 2nd baby they caught on the first month. TTC is just so random!
Now I know I wasn’t successful last month, I’m ready to go again this month. I am going to use CB OPK’s but I won’t temp as I did that once and it was all consuming.
Do you use OPK’s?

Hi everyone, Mumsnet newbie here.. longtime stalker! TTC #1, last night I got all the signs AF would be arriving today or tomorrow so am just waiting to see which day will be CD1, Feb will be my 11th cycle, we're both 32. I've been feeling a bit down about the whole thing for a few months now and I don't have any girl friends to talk to so bottle a lot up.. hoping I can find some reassurance here 😌. Fingers crossed for you all xx

Curlywurly3 · 14/01/2022 14:23

Right, CD1 today. Month 4 TTC #2. Previous cycle a bit all over the place due to covid and MC so I’m ready for this new cycle. My cycles are 25 days so hopefully AF won’t arrive on 8th Feb. I’ve added dates below If anyone wants to share their test dates:

Just waiting for CD1 due any day now. My app says tomorrow but have had some cramps this morning so I think today. We will be starting cycle 1 and I'm excited. I am going to buy some ovulation sticks they are due to come sat. Been off my pill a long time now so got my fingers crossed 🤞🤞

Shortmamashortcycles · 13/01/2022 12:13

@dory0, to be honest, it was whenever the GP could fit me in! Ideally 5-7 days post ovulation, but I think mine was more like 4...
