TTC February 2024 babies

Starting a thread because I don't see another one yet - I guess it is early for the potential Feb babies!
I'm on CD6 of 2nd cycle post miscarriage/6th month in total, ttc #2, due date would be around 2 February if we're successful this month.
Last month I was way too obsessive about testing, this month I'm really going to try to not let it take over my life - but let's see where I'm at in a few weeks' time. It's a busy month for me with a big work trip just after my fertile window then a family holiday when af is due so at least the tww shouldn't be so much of a drag.
Anyone else early in this cycle who will be trying for a Feb baby?

@Rainyday33 miscarriage experience can be different for everyone but for me it started with bleeding.
The pregnancy seemed to be going fine with strong symptoms. I had a private scan at 7w5d and saw the heartbeat, they said everything was fine. I started bleeding the same evening that I'd had that scan but I didn't worry at first as it was internal and I knew that could cause spotting. However the bleeding got worse and more painful, I'd lost the pregnancy completely 5 days after the scan.
I don't want to scare anyone with this story, it makes me not want to get scans this time as I know I won't get any reassurance now even if there's a heartbeat. I don't think I'll feel totally OK until like a 20 week scan.
I didn't appreciate how common miscarriage was until it happened to me, obviously I'm very scared of it happening again. I've also had one healthy pregnancy though so I need to remind myself that my body can do it.

OP I hope you dont mind me asking but did you have any symptoms of your misscariage? Did you find out trought the scan or you started bleeding. Im so anxious about it, it seems so common.

Rainyday33 · 13/06/2023 14:41

Huge Congratulations to all who got positive test. Im currently 5+1, got a dye stealer yesterday so no more testing for me. I booked an early scan next week when I will be 6+4. So anxious about it. Hopefully we will all have succesfull pregnancies.

@Thewildthingsarewithme Congratulations!
I've just been to Boots on my lunch break and bought more tests, so I can test daily for the next week or so for progression 💁there's no point pretending I'll do otherwise! Limiting myself to one per day is hard enough

Congrats @Hankthehonk and @Thewildthingsarewithme 🤩💖

Thewildthingsarewithme · 13/06/2023 13:10

24 hours of excessive testing 😂 congratulations to everyone who has got their positive!

Can I join? Got my bfp yesterday at 10dpo

jessie92 · 13/06/2023 10:18

@Hankthehonk many congrats!!! That's amazing news 🎉
And bfp at 9dpo too 😀
I'm currently 8dpo and haven't decided what day to test 💭12 months ttc and month after hycosy when supposedly chances are higher.

@Kiwiburgh Oh yes I'll be testing every day I can't even pretend I'm not going to obsessively test. Just ordered more frer (can't seem to get them in shops anywhere these days).
I know I shouldn't get my hopes up and it's not that I'm not a bit anxious but I can't help feeling so excited today. My brain is going a hundred miles an hour and I can't help thinking this could be it.

Kiwiburgh · 13/06/2023 08:08

@Hankthehonk thanks 😊 I'm trying to be excited but I have so much anxiety. 0 symptoms though which is odd.
Are you going to test again for progression or do you have more self control than me? 😂🙈

Ladyinpink1 · 13/06/2023 07:40

@Hankthehonk 🎉🎊 congratulations!! I am pleased for you especially after all of the ups and downs and confusion you had this cycle thinking you were out. Thank you for the good wishes, hope to join you over on the pregnancy board before too long 🙂

@Ladyinpink1 Great you caught your positive opk, good luck for this cycle!

I can't believe I'm posting this but I got a positive test this morning at 9dpo. I'm never good at waiting to test and had symptoms the last couple of days, but didn't actually expect a clear line.

This cycle has been such a rollercoaster, it hasn't sunk in yet but I'm happy! I'm sure nerves will kick in soon too after losing my last pregnancy at 8 weeks. Really hope this is the start of our rainbow baby.

Baby dust to those still trying! Anyone else have updates?

@Hankthehonk That was quick with getting the tests, really glad to hear levels are good, do you feel better about things now? Will you test or wait for AF?

I decided to stop my different supplements and vitamins I was on this cycle and it's had an effect as I am on cd14 and just got my positive opk this morning, so will be ovulating a few days later than I have been, in previous cycles this year, which I am pleased about as I read that ovulating too early can be bad 🙂

How's everyone getting on?
I'm 7dpo and starting to symptom spot but in reality it's nothing 🙃
I'm doing Proov pdg tests for the first time this month and tested positive for high progesterone this morning which is reassuring. Doesn't mean anything in terms of whether or not I might be pregnant but relieved to know I ovulated and pdg levels are OK.

Ladyinpink1 · 04/06/2023 22:10

@Hankthehonk Just seeing your message now. Glad the spotting has stopped, that all sounds great if you are coming up for ovulation now! Make sure your dp is on call these next few days 😄 x

I'm totally confused by this cycle but think I might be ovulating super late. If I am, I might be in with a chance for a Feb baby after all.
I've only had one period since my miscarriage, plus a stressful week as mentioned previously, so maybe I should have expected that my cycle wouldn't be regular yet but I've found it confusing and upsetting. Especially because I had 10 days of light spotting which just ended a few days ago.
For the whole of May my LH and BBT have been all over the place but I didn't get a positive opk until today.
Today I've got opk at 1.3 this morning and 1.6 this evening, EWCM and cramping. I'm on cd38. So I'm confused but should treat it as possible ovulation, will try to dtd tomorrow and Monday. We haven't done it since Tuesday which would be 5 days pre ov.
Let's see what my temp and opk are tomorrow, hopefully I can confirm ovulation...

@Hankthehonk I dont have any symptoms. Im a little lightheaded and often peeing. Didnt symptom spot at all this cycle becouse I was convinced Im out. I didnt have any symptoms in my last pregnancy either.
