Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in February 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Jan to Feb! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

I took a clearblue ultra early digital on 11DPO which came back positive Smile

Czzpop · 06/02/2024 15:51

Currently 5dpo & like many of you the tww feels like it’s dragging. I usually just wait for my AF so I’m hoping I can hold out. Hoping the days fly by & there are more BFP’s to come 🙏

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 15:48

Anybody know when to take a CB digital ultra early? How many DPO?

Limmers14 · 06/02/2024 14:33

Oh my god the wait is just awful! I have swollen glands today and I’m like “could this be a symptom or am I ill?” 😂

Not sure if we’ll be successful this month. We were on holiday last week and I forgot the CB test reader! I had some light spotting early on in the week (CD13 and 14) so thought maybe it’s ovulation and we DTD every day bar two even though the cheapie ovulation tests I brought didn’t show a peak. Who knows!

Back in the UK now and keep getting blank circles on the Clearblue tests even though Flo says I’m ovulating on Thursday (CD24). we may have caught it, we may not have

Mrshaitchxo · 06/02/2024 13:42

@KittyFantastica I'm exactly the same this month, every little twinge I'm asking myself 'is this a symptom?!' I don't know what's different about this month for me as for the past 3/4 I've been very good at just getting on with my life and waiting until AF shows, no major symptom spotting and no testing (because I was wasting so much money!) but for some reason I've stupidly got it in my head that this is our lucky month?🤷🏼‍♀️

Driving myself mad, that's for sure. I'm 5dpo today according to Premom... give me strength 😂😂

KittyFantastica · 06/02/2024 13:36

I can't believe how much this wait is messing with me. Before we started TTC, I visited a few different places around the internet to help build an idea of what we might need to do to maximise our chances, but I always felt there was no point in obsessing and just doing the deed at the time of ovulation and then doing nothing until a period either arrives or doesn't arrive.

Of course, past me is a fool. I can't seem to think about anything else. If I have a weird dream or have to get up at 3am to pee I find myself desperate to think it's a symptom. If I have one tiny belly ache for 30 seconds, I get hopefully.

I am kidding myself because I've no symptoms whatsoever. I even did an ovulation stick test today because when I got my BFP last month before the chemical I accidentally did an ovulation test first and the line was dark. I wondered if I might be able to see an early indicator on the ovulation strip like last time and there was barely a line there. Send help 🤣

How are all our other 7DPOers doing?

Choc29 · 06/02/2024 13:31

@SlinkMcSlink I am. Not entirely sure how many days but its about 1/2. In my TWW now. X

RW269 · 06/02/2024 12:45

@ButterflySkies oooh lovely glad you’ve got some plans in place to keep you busy! Are you going somewhere nice for your day out? I have an empty day end of the week I need to get something planned!
Feeling really disheartened today, I have no idea why like it’s a whole week until AF due but I woke up in the mindset of “I don’t feel pregnant it must not have happened” even though logically my heads talking rubbish 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 roll on next week!! Xx

Congratulations to those of you with BFPs! I was sorely tempted to test this morning but found I only have two pink dye tests left, so I’ll save them for the weekend or early next week, depending on how things go.

I’m 9DPO today, no sign of any implantation bleeding which I had last time, but feeling some nausea on and off, plus sore/full boobs, especially on the right hand side. Fingers crossed for those of you also still waiting to test x

ButterflySkies · 06/02/2024 10:57

I see them too @Sunandsea13 @Phinie 🩷

Im itching to test but it's only 7dpo 😂 pleased ive got two super early and long office days after today and @RW269 ive now filled up friday (going on a little day trip out with DD and friends) and Saturday (my SILs) so my itchy fingers should be busy enough to hold off until Monday! It's just really hard sitting at home doing what I'd call "busy work" rather than actual work! X

Stramas · 06/02/2024 10:36

Hi all I’m 5 dpo today. Ovulated on day 14 confirmed with opk’s and also charting, and managed to BD on days 11 and 12 as husband worked away last week. Hoping we are in with a chance 🤞🏼. These dpo days are looooooong

FullMoon1917 · 06/02/2024 10:23

@SlinkMcSlink @Anonxo can I join too? I am DPO1 but fresh off a miscarriage so hoping my body is ready for it! We managed to DTD 3 times so far so hopefully managed to hit it. It took us a year to conceive last time though 😫

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 09:36

@KittyFantastica thank you so much! I am trying to keep it together until I get a positive on a clear below digital but it is so hard!

KittyFantastica · 06/02/2024 09:34

I see them both @Sunandsea13 and @Phinie! So excited for you :)

Phinie · 06/02/2024 09:16

This is what it looks like after drying up… haha I’m so obsessed with looking at it

Ahh some exciting news coming through on this thread!! ❤

I bought some ovulation sticks on Saturday impulsively and tested - I got a super super light line but I was meant to be ovulating on Friday/Saturday. Tested again Sunday and yesterday, line got fainter and has now gone. I think I missed my peak and it was on Thursday/Friday instead (CD11).

Luckily we DTD on CD8 but I think we missed the boat this month!! However I've had a couple of really bad headaches and some nausea in the morning - which is really unlike me but also super super early (poss 5-7 DPO???). Obviously over thinking everything at this point... argh!! 😆

Phinie · 06/02/2024 08:47

Thank you for crossing your fingers for me you guys! Today’s test (at 11dpo) definitely has a line. You can almost see it in pictures too

Phinie · 06/02/2024 08:46

@Sunandsea13 I definitely see something!

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 08:24

@Racket81 I think I am 9DPO. Had an ultrasound last Monday and I saw a corpus luteum so I am taking the Sunday as the ovulation day as I have PCOS and long cycles. Thank you!

Racket81 · 06/02/2024 08:22

@Sunandsea13 I can just about see the line. How many dpo are you?

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 08:18

Hi everyone! Please may I borrow your eyes to take a look at this? Normally these come up stark white but this morning within the time window it’s come up with a faint line. Please take a look if you have time, thank you! So praying this sticks!

Finally got my peak but DH is super stressed with work - how do I make sure we DTD before it's too late?! 🙄

Racket81 · 06/02/2024 06:58

Hi not been on here for a few days as was at beginning of cycle and trying not to obsess and stay relaxed. Who we kidding. So I'm cd 13 due ovulation any day. We have dtd every other day so far. I have some accupuncture again tonight. Strongly I had some blood stained cm 4 days after my period finished which is a first for me not sure what thay was but I have had flu last week and still full of cold atm and was day after I had some accupunture too so maybe it's something to do with that. Haven't had anymore though.. hope to see some bfps soon.

SnKcampbell · 05/02/2024 23:51

Hi, ah nice to meet a fellow possible starting buddy hehe, my sister was giving me some advice and said to start trying from the day your period ends as I'm not tracking yet as still Newley trying so planning to do the deed every 4 days from tomorrow until 24th Feb to cover lots of dates hehe, as my period is predicted 29th Feb but I have had 26 to 32 day cycles before

Anonxo · 05/02/2024 23:47

@SnKcampbell we’re at a similar point 😊
