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

Well it seems its just my cycle getting back to normal. No AF yet but a BFN..... not even a squinter!!!

Nico89 · 05/02/2022 05:02

@Diamondbabe I work nights so ive been up all night so my fmu is actually first afternoon urine 😆 I'll sleep when I get home this morning and then when I get up this afternoon if no AF I may brave a test

Diamondbabe · 05/02/2022 04:58

@Nico89 that sounds positive test!!!! Smile

Nico89 · 05/02/2022 00:15

Typically as I didn't track anything this month I don't know exactly when I ovulated or even if I did at all.... its almost always CD 16 -18 most being 16 ir 17 past few cycles. LP consistently 12days or less.... here I am on CD31 with no signs of AF 😶
I'm really hoping this doesn't mean that my body has now given up working at all .. what with the investigations pending on my pelvic pain.

Giving it til the end of today to call it officially late assuming I ovilated at all and then I guess I think about whether to test. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that if I O later than usual I could have caught.... but I don't want to give myself false hope. Its my birthday next week and then valentines day. How amazing would a bfp be?!

@MummyMe87, @Shiny88 that's true thank you for the positivity.

Peonies94 · 04/02/2022 21:56

@Shiny88 I also had a CP in October! It does really mess with your emotions doesn’t it!

Peonies94 · 04/02/2022 21:55

@Shiny88 it’s a horrible feeling isn’t it! Sending love and hope you get your positive soon!
I’ve been ttc my first since February last year, so officially a year! It gets so difficult!

Shiny88 · 04/02/2022 21:37

@RosyappleA I'm so sorry you've been through the same as me. yeah it is hard hearing others are pregnant I think it's more because of the miscarriage rather than not getting pregnant.
Yea I love reading others BFP too it is lovely 😊

@MadamMaltesers not out until AF comes so here's fingers crossed 🤞🏼that she doesn't make a show for you

MummyMe87 · 04/02/2022 21:23

@MadamMaltesers you’re not out until the fat lady shows

MadamMaltesers · 04/02/2022 21:04

Hi ppl,

I tested negative today at 10dpo, is there any hope?

TheBirdintheCave · 04/02/2022 20:55

@arianasky Amazing! Congratulations :D

RosyappleA · 04/02/2022 20:21

@Shiny88 i know it is so hard hearing about everyone getting pregnant but it’ll be us too soon fingers crossed! I also miscarried in October and have really been struggling with my emotions. I had all the symptoms too in Jan and BFN it was. So this time I just feel very indifferent now.

I love reading about BFPs here though it just reminds me that it CAN happen again. It almost feels like just a dream sometimes.

HelloNope · 04/02/2022 20:10

@arianasky yay!!! Congratulations:)

Shiny88 · 04/02/2022 19:31

Hi guys can I join in on your thread.

Firstly congratulations to all those who have received their BFP this cycle 🥳.
And sending baby dust to those still waiting.

I'm feeling pretty deflated atm.
We've been ttc #2 since September. Fell pregnant in October and miscarried at 5 weeks.
We DTD this cycle when I was ovulating according to clear blue ovulation tests convinced myself I was pregnant as I felt nauseous and tender breasts but AF reared her ugly head on the 31st. Was only on for a day and a half properly and then some spotting so I took a test but it's negative.
I just feel so disheartened.

My friend told me she's pregnant yesterday and while I'm so happy for her I just came home and cried my eyes out. I feel as though I'm doing something wrong it's a horrid feeling 😔

Purple29 · 04/02/2022 18:54

I'm pretty convinced mine will be negative and I'm still just waiting on my cycle correcting but your all making me want to test tonight!!! Ahhhhh will be a long night!!!

arianasky · 04/02/2022 18:23

@Natalie2304 let us know how it goes 🤞🏻💕

Natalie2304 · 04/02/2022 18:08

@arianasky I'm 6DPO but only have an 11 day LP so only a few days before I can test 🤞🏻

arianasky · 04/02/2022 18:04

@Diamondbabe I think everyone is different, I had positives that progressed from 8-14 dpo then the test on the 15dpo was fainter and they got fainter until negative over a few days and I bled that day then

Diamondbabe · 04/02/2022 17:51

@arianasky thank you do you know by bleeding? I have read pregnancy tests still show as pregnant if you have a miscarriage so I'm guessing it's not from still doing those. Thankfully had one other pregnancy and all was great and had a healthy boy who's now 14 months :)

arianasky · 04/02/2022 17:43

@Diamondbabe a chemical pregnancy is a miscarriage that happens before 5 weeks

arianasky · 04/02/2022 17:28

@Natalie2304 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 how many dpo are you?

@RosyappleA haha 😂 so I had a static smiley on CD19 but a peak easy@home on the 20th so not 100 percent which day I ovulated but I DTD CD16 CD17 CD19 and CD22 around O time

Diamondbabe · 04/02/2022 17:25

I see a few of you mention about having chemical pregnancies what are those? Is it that you get a positive and then nothing happens? Do you then get your period later?

We sort of did the @Purple29 method I think.

I got my static smiley on the 24th, I had an old CB ovulated which was only an empty smile or a static smile no flashing one.

We had sex on the 20, 22nd, 24 and 25th Jan.

I wanted to do it on the 26th too but we were a bit done by then.

I do think we'd before the ovulation date makes a difference.

It's hard to know if it's just luck and would have a happened anyway.

Hope it sticks!

RosyappleA · 04/02/2022 17:14

@arianasky thanks for thot, keeping the fluffy socks firmly on might even sleep in them😂. Did you track ovulation if so which days did you cover? I think i need to be more strategic next time as i am running out of steam by the time i ovulate! I even took a week of work as I knew I couldn’t handle it!

Natalie2304 · 04/02/2022 17:07

@arianasky congratulations!! I've taken most of those measures this month along with vit c and using conception cup so hopefully will work for us too 🤞🏻

@Diamondbabe that most definitely isn't an indent! Try again in the morning, I'm sure you'll get a darker line xxx
