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 ✨❤️

@RW269 so sorry you are left in limbo and going through this. Fingers crossed for you. X

RW269 · 12/06/2024 12:07

@KittyFantastica about 18 dpo, my hearts hurting so much. The pain of the cramps and im now heavily bleeding, not feeling very positive about it :(
how are you doing?

Thank you @Noisinmaro ❤️

How many DPO are you now @RW269? I know this heartache so well and I'm so sorry you're in a bit of a limbo. I have every finger and toe crossed for you for a happy outcome, I'm willing it so hard. How are you feeling at the moment?

RW269 · 12/06/2024 07:28

Feeling absolutely heartbroken. Days of positive tests, started getting really bad cramping in the night and have started spotting pink blood. Done a test this morning and it’s more faint this morning than yesterday. I don’t like where this is likely heading 😢

@KittyFantastica im really hopful for u...cant go through all this pain for no happy outcome...so really hope this is the good that's come from all your heartbreak! Keep the faith and let us know how scan goes...im hoping it goes well.

RW269 · 11/06/2024 09:53

@KittyFantastica that’s so good to hear! Have they booked you in for an early scan? That’ll hopefully be a big relief! I think over reading can do us all so badly we end up over analysing everything!

I'm uncertain at the moment, my line tests aren’t getting any darker, I’ve got about 15 positive tests (dye ones) but all very light so I’m just so fearful at the moment. Got an early scan booked for 21st 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Fingers crossed for continued good signs @Racket81!

I'm doing okay, thank you @RW269, just still in shock. How are you doing? Any symptoms?

I called EPU yesterday as they said to call back if I got pregnant again and they'd do me an early reassurance scan. The midwife was shocked when I told her the dates, she didn't seem to think it possible - I don't think they see a lot of people claiming to have ovulated on CD9 to then get a BFP at 9DPO!

She did say she suspects that I wasn't having periods, just intermittent bleeds because the hormones were obviously not back to normal. I've worried myself silly with all the reading I've done about early ovulation and immature egg being released. I feel so guilty, like we should have used protection until I was 100% certain my cycle was back to normal, but I thought it was getting that way. In my head there's no way it can end well, but my tests are progressing the best I've ever seen so all we can do is hope it's a miracle.

@ButterflySkies I can’t believe you’re 20 weeks already! Halfway there! wow!
how are you feeling lately? How are you getting on with baby purchases? :) so many cute things!

@YouveGotAFastCar I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time sending all the love!

@KittyFantastica how are you getting on? Still so happy at your news!

@Racket81 7 weeks how exciting! Glad your spotting has stopped ! :)

Aww thank you. Yes nothing this morning so rhays good. Although my boss has shingles so I am goimg to work at the other setting we are a group of children's nursery so easily solved but annoying.

ButterflySkies · 10/06/2024 10:30

@Racket81 im sitting here nearly 21 weeks now and have had so much spotting and a couple of big bleeds - dont panic lovely! It can be ok 😊 xx

Racket81 · 10/06/2024 07:22

Aww congratulations @RW269 and @KittyFantastica thats great news..
I had some spotting yesterday but luckily nothing this morning. I called in but the hospital just said monitor it. I'm 7 weeks today. Who knew being pregnant was so stressful. Xx fingers crossed for you both. X

KittyFantastica · 09/06/2024 00:10

I'm so sorry @YouveGotAFastCar, the grief is so harsh and nature can be so cruel. I hope you manage to take some time for yourself, treat yourself kindly and reach out to any support you have close by if you need to.

Thanks everyone. I'm still reeling and it's as though I can't believe it's real after everything we've been through this year. We'll see what happens over the next week or so.

So glad to hear your wiggling little baby is doing well @ButterflySkies ❤️

Noisinmaro · 08/06/2024 23:25

Wow congrats @RW269 @KittyFantastica please god stickies for yee both..and all goes good over next few months...

@YouveGotAFastCar so sorry, I had positive was 11 days late got my positive, was very happy, then had bleed next days the was end that...was coming up on 6 weeks....was devasted as was all overthe shop...back to my practical self now so ttc gain...its very hard...I had 2awful sad weeks then I started to improve ....more myself now...
@RaineyNina its very hard line it all up...but try trsut the process...I got a positive after long saint of trying...then last month was disappointed(tried ttc straight after bleeding stopped) but negative test got AF just as well as my period is tracked so now im back on cd 7 so I'm going to dtd cd 9, 11 , 13 and 15 and that's what worked the month when we actually got our positive I record everything and I do ovulation stick...
But month it worked that's what we did dtd 4 times and cd 13 wasn't a great effort as I didn't think much actually got it (sorry tmi)....and I think we ovulated cd 14 but that was my lucky month i had literally guv6en up in my little head( i wasworn out and so sick of the whole fevking ttc mark) ...so I'm taking a back seat doing it the 4 times a month...thats it...
My hubby can't do every day..gets tired fustrated one month we did it every day from cd 9 to 16 and didn't work....so every second day it is...

Best luck to all...

ButterflySkies · 08/06/2024 20:06

Im 20 weeks now btw... how did this happen! Scan was good, perfectly average baby wiggling away :) x

ButterflySkies · 08/06/2024 20:05

@RW269 fingers crossed for a sticky little bean im so thrilled for you!!! Let me know how the scan goes!! Such an exciting time!

And @KittyFantastica im so thrilled for you too!! Got everything crossed after so much heartache, what a lovely update to read. How are you feeling love?

Honestly the two loveliest updates today!! Xx

So sorry @YouveGotAFastCar and @RaineyNina - it's so bloody cruel TTC at times. Take care of yourselves both of you xxx

YouveGotAFastCar · 08/06/2024 16:44

Thank you 💕 I won’t lie, it’s been rough. I was so excited and surprised to test positive last Saturday. It seemed to all be going well. Took a clearblue on Thursday when my period was due - strong positive. Did a weeks indicator yesterday which said 2 - 3.

But negative tests this morning. Super faint this afternoon. I think I’ve had the tiniest amount of blood and my temperature plummeted overnight. It feels so cruel.

RW269 · 08/06/2024 15:28

@KittyFantastica no way!!! Oh my goodness me, I’ve got everything crossed for you this is a sticky one!! 🤞🤞🤞 congratulations!! So happy to hear this!

@YouveGotAFastCar oh no I’m sorry to hear that :( I’ve got everything hopeful for a bfp for you soon ♥️

14dpo according to app, although BBT rise was not detected till cycle day 21 so could have ovulated anytime between cycle day 17-20. I’m now cycle day 31, AF late by a couple of days now, 2 negative pregnancy tests using clear blue digital today and a couple of days ago. Any hope this cycle? Feeling deflated that my period is later than normal as my husband works away for 6 weeks at a time, he is now likely to miss my next 2 ovulation days. Images for reference

Oh congratulations @RW269 and @KittyFantastica !

Unfortunately I think I’ll be back here next month. I’m heartbroken but trying to hold it together for my toddler. I expect I’ll start bleeding overnight, and then I guess I’ll just see how long it takes for everything to settle.

KittyFantastica · 08/06/2024 13:21

Sooner than anyone imagined @RW269 🤯

Mind absolutely blown. I'm only 9DPO. I didn't even get a whiff of a squinter until 11DPO the last two times. I'm guarding my heart mightily because my cycle has been absolutely insane the last month and a half, I don't think I've got much in the way of uterine lining going by my last two AFs and I've been temping. All was looking good until today when the temp took a nose dive below the base line, so AF could well be on her way. Having said that, I did have a disturbed sleep last night, so I'm holding on to hope.

@ButterflySkies thank you so much! ♥️
soooo excited, so nervous though!
Booked in for an early scan in a week and a half just to make sure everything is sticking nicely and to calm my nerves a little bit! ☺️ Can’t believe it’s actually happened here’s hoping it sticks around 🤞🤞🤞

@KittyFantastica thank you! I’ve got everything crossed we will be seeing an update from you with good news soon ♥️♥️♥️
