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 Congratulations!! So great to hear stories like this where it can happen without dtd over the whole fertile window. Definitely meant to be!
How are you feeling?

Thank you Ladyinpink.

Ladyinpink1 · 03/06/2023 19:58

@Mangotango39 Hoping it's implantation bleeding and you get good news soon! x

@Rainyday33 congratulations 🎉 how lovely especially when you weren't expecting it x

Rainyday33 · 03/06/2023 18:31

Got a BFP today, totally unexpected. I ddt 5 days before ovulation, didnt menaged after that. I will confirm tommorow with fmu. I guess its meant to be a february baby. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Mangotango39 · 03/06/2023 15:27

9dpo and I have had one pink/red spot everytime I have wiped today (not in uk - it's now 10pm)

It's stopped the last two times I have been to the loo.
Really worried if it's period rather than implantation but my periods wouldn't usually start that way - I don't think so anyway but obviously I am hyper vigilant at the moment.

I ovulated later than usual so it is cd31 overall - cycles up to 36 days have been my longest over the last few years but cd32/33 average.
Guess I'll probably see tomorrow and will test 12dpo if still no AF.
eeeek waiting is horrid and my mind is doing overtime.

Ladyinpink1 · 02/06/2023 22:35

Sorry for the bfn and AF arriving ladies, it's tough, sending sympathy 💜

I am the same, cd4 today for me fresh new cycle, ready to try again soon (maybe do legs in air for longer this cycle 🤣 ) hope you all manage to have a nice weekend and hopefully talk soon for our next tww 🙂 xx

Fifii · 01/06/2023 12:54

I’m also out this month - had spotting for the last 5 days but I’m pretty sure af arrived this morning :(

L0uise35 · 01/06/2023 09:47

So looks like AF arrived today early, was due Sunday. So that is me out 😔 maybe next cycle

I should say even though af is late I'm definitely not pregnant, I've had very low temps and confirmed by a bfn yesterday

@hopefulsquirrel You may not see this but hope you're OK and being kind to yourself. I get it...we probably all do here.

I'm struggling a bit too as this cycle has been a mess. My bbt and lh are all over the place, I've been spotting for a week but no sign of af which is now two days late.
I'm only ten weeks post miscarriage so maybe it's to do with that but I'm upset that I thought my regular cycles had come back and now all this. I'm going to try and see my gp and ask for progesterone testing but I'm preparing for them not to entertain me as we've only been trying for 5 months and I did get pregnant in that time albeit lost it.

Af is due Sunday for me so mid TWW . Not hopeful though but we shall see.

Un7breakable · 28/05/2023 15:07

@hopefulsquirrel How long have you been trying?

Waiting for O here then I'll be joining you ladies in the TWW

L0uise35 · 28/05/2023 13:00

@hopefulsquirrel hope your ok. Mind yourself

hopefulsquirrel · 28/05/2023 09:56

AF is here and I’m out. I’m stepping away from these threads as I’m really struggling right now. Lots of luck and baby dust to you all.

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 18:51

@hopefulsquirrel LOL at the GP, well if the GP has told you to get lots of tests who are you to argue 🤣.
That's great, at least the ball is rolling now IF this isn't the cycle x

Haha I know right! And thank you ❤️

@Ladyinpink1 I’m sorry about the BFN, it is really sad when you don’t get a line

hopefulsquirrel · 25/05/2023 17:07

@Ladyinpink1 I had a call with my GP today about doing blood tests if we aren’t successful this month and she suggested I keep a few pregnancy tests in the house - like I needed the suggestion!

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 17:03

@Hankthehonk Well I hope that one way or another you get some answers... if not a bfp before then. 💜

@hopefulsquirrel I can't help myself either, I keep telling myself don't test but it's impossible not too isn't it lol

@Dinosaur39 I don't know how much it should be, but that would send my mind into overdrive too! Are you waiting for AF or planning on testing?

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 16:29

@Catchafallingstar7 sorry about bfn, hoping for you that you aren't out also hoping you are ok.. lots of chocolate for you tonight 🙂. This is cycle 4 for me since a loss and I had been tracking and waited for "the right time" before that (totally regret waiting now lol) so I feel like you I have been at this for ages even though as you said others have had alot longer to wait than us.

And I don't know about you but I am really quite sad at this time each cycle with the bfn... I got a bfn this morning. Pretty sure this isn't going to be the cycle for me but was thinking this morning, won't a March baby be lovely? 🥰

hopefulsquirrel · 25/05/2023 12:19

@Catchafallingstar7 I’m sorry, the not knowing and waiting really sucks. Fingers crossed you’re not out yet.

I am 10 DPO, tested and got BFN today but I know it’s still very early (apparently I just can’t help myself)

Dinosaur39 · 25/05/2023 11:50

Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing well during their TWW!

Has anyone heard of IB being literally one small dot on underwear?
I was 8DPO and there was nothing when I wiped just literally this one dot (about 4/5mm)

I try to feel relaxed about waiting then a little thing like this happens and my mind goes into overdrive!

Thank you

Catchafallingstar7 · 25/05/2023 11:11

Hi all

AF due today and no sign but I had a BFN this morning with Fmu and don’t have any symptoms of pregnancy only of af potentially coming soon. Its normally started by now so I’m hoping it’s not delayed. Just want to crack on with the next cycle now :(

cycle #4 and I’m feeling a bit blurgh about it but I know that many on here are years so I just remain grateful and positive.

good luck all. Thanks for keeping me company.

@Ladyinpink1 I'm considering a home test kit, just researching the options.

I feel for you and everyone else here in the testing madness! My hope is gone for this month which sucks but at least it's a bit easier to get on with life 😅 the hope makes you crazy. Hoping for bfps for you soon!

@Ladyinpink1 It worked for all my friends who seem to get pregnant in seems like minutes 😁hoping it works along with fertility lube I bought 😁

I think I’m going to have to try this too. Google says it makes no difference but a friend of mine also did it recently and got pregnant first month ttc. Can’t hurt to try can it 😅 even if you do feel silly!
