TTC February 2024 ✨

tww is so hard im 5dpo and had cramps yesterday. Today feel nauseous and frequent trips to loo. Trying not to over think it. Would be very surprised if it happened this month after MC beginning of the month.

Hi all, I'm 14 dpo , due on tomorrow.

Any one have white stretchy cm day b4 af?

@MilkyAndFluffy fingers crossed, thank you for your help!

@Happysoul111 have everything crossed you get a BFP tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼x

@MilkyAndFluffy ah did they, that's interesting to know thank you. I have got a clear blue test but scared to take it as ovulation test is negative. But think I'll test tomorrow morning. Thank you

@Happysoul111 taking the pregnacare vitamins deffo changed my cycle so could be the reason - it is very annoying I agree!

have you got any pregnancy tests to try in the morning or are you wanting to ride out till after AF could possibly be due? X

Ah thank you I do think It's due to late ovulation. I have also just this month started taking conceiveplus fertility support vitamins and wondered if that could of affected my cycle. Bit annoyed if it has as always been very regular

@Happysoul111 when i ovulated later in the month (day 18 instead of 14/15) I had a longer cycle so 28 days instead of 26 days so it was adjusted a couple of days, so it could be that your period is due a little later than normal

but I have everything crossed for you that you are pregnant 🙌🏼

Hi, I have been TTC for 6 months and have been tracking my ovulation with clear blue ovulation tests for around 3 months and have always ovulated around day 19. I have a 31 day cycle. This month I ovulated around day 24 and I am 2 days late on my period but I now have spotting and have had cramps with lower back pain all week. I have took another ovulation test and that is negative. Could i be pregnant or will my period arrive late as ovulation has been late this month? So eager to find out

@Limmers14 ive only been pregnant once and had no implantation spotting so I can’t advise, but I have everything crossed for you 🙌🏼

@RedRobyn2021 i would say there’s a chance if you DTD around ovulation! What length cycle do you have?

Hi ladies, can anyone tell me their opinion or thoughts on my temps? It’s my first month using natural cycles or temping at all so I really don’t know what I’m doing! I’ve been TTC’ing for years and decided to give it a go.

is the fact that my temp is going down now mean I’m not pregnant? I think I’ve read somewhere that it should stay high if you are pregnant so I’m guessing that’s me out? My AF is due Thursday so I was going to test tomorrow but maybe there is no point?

My premom app thinks I ovulated CD8

Is there a chance of conception?

I'm DPO13

So delighted to see some positives on this thread. Congratulations ladies!

I’m now on CD 33. I think I’m 8DPO. I’ve been having spotting when I go to the loo and yesterday/today, brown discharge and spotting. I’ve never had this much spotting in the run up to a period before. Had this happened anyone before and they’ve been pregnant? It seems to be going on too long to be implantation and would also be too early if I got my ovulation dates right.

My last cycle was 34 days so feel a bit all over the place

@KittyFantastica @Noisinmaro

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! It really is such a struggle, and something that you can foolishly just take for granted!

I will wait until Wednesday (that’ll be a week) and test again if AF doesn’t make her appearance!

🙏✨

@x1cvv sorry your going through this....pregnancy tests melt my head...I like your husbands attitude but I understand its sooooo hard....seeing as your late test again in a day or 2.....

Thank you @piechipsgravy and @CoolSummer89 ❤️ Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you both as well that you'll get the news you're hoping for soon.

Hi @x1cvv, didn't want to read and run. That Clearblue looks like it could be an evap, they're terrible for those sometimes. The cheaper brands are sometimes not sensitive enough if it's early days. You can either give it a few days and test again with the ones you have, or try another brand. I got some Wondfo strips this time from Amazon and they are very sensitive. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi Ladies

Congratulations to all the ladies who got there BFP this month

Im either 2/3 DPO I haven't tracked using opks or BTT as this is my first month trying so didn't want to stress myself out straight away.

Been using Flo, Get Baby and pre mom apps to log my periods in for good few years i normally range 26 to 32 day cycles and ovulate between day 12 and day 18.

For this month we have been DTD every 3 days from the day my period ended would have liked to do every 1 to 2 days but hubby can only manage every 3 days this did land according to 1 app 2 days before ovulation and another app day of ovulation, we still carrying on with DTD every 4 days for the rest of this month though just in case ovulation was late.

We did have a fertility health check done last year sperm was fine and my bloods and scans came back fine aswell.

14th Feb i did have possible ovulation pains on my left side all day around where my ovaries are and also my hip join pains carried on until lunchtime on 15th Feb, my Discharge though sorry Tmi wasn't Egg white and was just supper wet so been using pre seed lube last few times we been DTD.

Today im having light belly cramps and constipation and also a tender sore throat and feeling like my ears are blocked but maybe a cold coming who knows?

ah @KittyFantastica that is really encouraging to see! Best of luck for the next few weeks you will be in my thoughts

Oh my goodness @ButterflySkies, good luck with the parties! Those will definitely keep you busy 😄.

There's an October 2024 thread in the Pregnancy forum, and a WhatsApp group I'll probably join. Definitely keep in touch lovely!

Thank you all!

I'm exactly the same as you lovely @KittyFantastica - im using the app atm and about to do a weekend of kids parties but il log on online and send you a message when i get a mo, be lovely to stay in touch! X

Hi, I am new here after 3 years of TTC! It really takes it toil on you, seeing those negative results on a monthly basis - it is enough for you to loose all hope and give up!

My husband struggles to understand the full impact this has on me (he’s a lot more positive than I am and believes that timing is a wonderful thing, and it’ll happen when it’s meant to!)

I am now 3 days late, and I’m usually regular with my cycles 29-30 days long!

I have tested, because it’s very hard not too, and I’m a mixed bag of emotions! I used ClearBlue pregnancy test (see photo attached) and I don’t know whether I am longing to see two lines that my husband can’t see! Tried another test, a cheaper brand, and it came back negative straight away!

@KittyFantastica I'm so happy for you! I hope you can start to relax a little and feel excited now

Ahhhh, so happy for you @ButterflySkies! Remind me what day you ovulated?

I'm 4w5d now and it's further than I got with my last pregnancy. My last few mornings of tests have been stronger, so I did my other digital this morning too.

I still don't think I'll relax at all until after the 12 week mark, but we are clinging to this progress and hoping for the absolute best.

I'll stick around also to cheer you all on from the sidelines here now. Wishing you all strong positives and super sticky beans!
