TTC February 2024 ✨

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I’ve been ttc since December and AF just arrived today. I’ve never been pregnant before and probably naively thought it would just happen…looking to talk to like minded people and get any tips/advice for navigating this journey! I know this is super early stages of ttc for me but I have been surprised how much it’s affecting me already.

I'm CD59 and think I ovulated really late/missed a period, 14 DPO and no positive ... waiting game I think until ToM comes

I know everyone says you're not out til period comes but I'm not convinced this cycle!

Any news from anyone yet? I’m CD41 and think I’m 15DPO…

Confused not sure what’s happened did a test faint positive did one this morning and negative. I’ve ordered some FRER to see as used clear blue. Positive was in time frame and was clear not a evap. Used FMU also have sore boobs feel sick, just like last time. am 10DPO now first test 8DPO

Got a starking negative so I'd say I'm out...couldn't wait....due Sunday...no symptoms this month...not a symptom...usually have lots by now but there all period related...anyways it is what it is so disheartened will be heading over to march thread....hopefully more bfp on here though....

Hello all! This is my first post, I’ve been reading your posts and comments for about a week now and driving myself a little crazy. It makes me so happy every time I see someone get a bfp!
its our first month Ttc, I tracked ovulation with the strips and dtd day or two after the lines were strong (so not sure if we left it too late any idea?!)
im a couple days late for af. But still getting bfn think around 13 dpo.. but been super tired this past week, had very mild lingering stomach cramps and today/yday had mild achey pain in the left side of my back. Been feeling a bit nauseous but not sure if it’s because I seem to be developing a bit of a cold…. Any advice/experience of this would be gratefully received 😊

@RW269 I'm still just coasting along with mildly sore boobs. I've had no real symptoms until today, and today I've had some quite sharp pains in my right side. It was a bit of a shock, but it's only happened twice. I'm hoping it's normal because there's nothing I can do about it.

After our loss last month, my husband and I are both finding it difficult to invest. I'm 5w4d today and have a scan booked for 7 weeks. I'm hoping that if all is well on the scan we will begin to relax a bit. It's a tense and uncertain time.

Hope you're doing well! ❤️

Ahh congrats @NavySwan!

AF arrived bang on time this morning, so that’s me out this month.

@RW269 how are you doing? Ive been thinking about you lovely!!

I'm ok, just been floored by nausea and had to have a nap and rope my other half into watch DD... hoping this isnt the start of what happened with DD but I'm taking it as a good sign things are progressing! Still so early, but il be six weeks monday which is further than I got with the recent CPs 🤞🏽 xx

AF a week late now. Slightly sore boobs and extremely tired. Tested twice and both BFN. Probably just having a very long cycle which feels so cruel!!

Sorry to hear @Choc29 best of luck for March.

Still no sign of my period, took a CB and a cheap pregnancy test today but nothing. My period should be tomorrow/Sunday

AF arrived this morning m, 1 week late. I'm gutted but also received I finally know now. Starting month 3 with so mutch more knowlege of OPKs and supplements. Onwards and upwards. Xxx

@x1cvv I'm not sure yet I have to have a zoom meeting with the woman as she in Weymouth then she will talk to my acupuncturist amd decide what I need then send them to me.
I will let you know. Its gonna be between 50 amd 100 quid thays all I know.

@Racket81
what Chinese herbs do you plan on using? If you don’t mind sharing? Need all the support I can get after so long of TTC ✨🙏

That’s brilliant news

Thanks @YouveGotAFastCar and congrats@NavySwan .

Just had some accupuncture this evening. I'm gonna be starting Chinese herbs for this next cycle as my acupuncturist says I'm regular cycle regular ovulation no signs of any infertility just a numbers game so tcrank everything up as much as we can. She feels optimistic I wish I felt as possative as her.

Got faint yesterday and digital confirmed today! 11dpo

Aw @Racket81 I'm sorry.

Due tomorrow here, although I had the tiniest amount of pink spotting on Tues/Weds so I was hoping that was late implantation bleeding. I'm 14dpo today and easy@home tests are still stark white.

It's tough. I really feel for you. I hope the next cycle is yours x

So AF due today. Nonsign atm but tested with dirt response and stark white so I guess I'm out again. On to cycle 54. X

Hi @smile94 from what I’ve read on here, it can take a bit of time for a strong line to develop for some women. Everyone is different. I don’t see anything on the clearblue test but I can see something faint on the other one. Worth re-testing this weekend with the same brand and first thing in the morning!

Following from above post, these are the tests. I feel they look a bit more prominent in person.
clear blue one yesterday and the other one today. Unfortunately both with second urine of the day.

Hey

just joining on to this thread.
im just very confused as to what’s going on with my body right now, wondering if anyone can help.

My typical cycle is around 36/37 days. I’m currently 18DPO and about 2 days late. I’ve taken a test yesterday and today after having some symptoms of pregnancy. Both days they’re very faint. Surely by this many days post ovulation, the line should be darker? If I was having a chemical pregnancy, would my symptoms just stop by now?

The symptom that actually made me check was gagging whilst brushing my teeth, now I’ve sore boobs and feeling ravenous and feeling a bit pressure on my lower tummy.

sorry if it’s a long post x
