TTC Feb 2025

I have a good feeling for you girls! Can not wait till you’ve tested! 😬 showing all positive signs

This was absolutely me yesterday!

You’re all doing phenomenally well not testing !!!!

@LuckyDuck93 i mean it’s another good sign! If it’s going up then it’s good. I think from what I can remember from about 10dpo mine creeped by about 1bpm daily/every other day with my first.

@Taysonic 😂 have you taken a test or holding out? Remind me again are you similar timings as us about 12dpo?

See mine is just dropping, which makes me think it’s not happening for me this month.

I AM MASSIVELY OVERTHINKING!

Someone needs to save me from myself. I'm going to drive myself insane.

@Mama09876 i'm hoping to, I actually don't have any tests at home so that'll help. Just looked at my RHR & it's probably a little bit up from a couple of weeks ago, only by 3-4BPM though.
Remember last week when I said I wasn't going to overthink 😅

@LuckyDuck93 i feel very confused as well I’ve had a few cramps here and there but nothing major could easily be period coming. I was very tempted yesterday to test as well but I’ve convinced myself there is no point in wasting a test.
my RHR is dropping daily as well so I really don’t think it’s happened for me this month. But we’ll see by Friday! Not long now!! You still waiting till end of the week?

@Mama09876 mine has actually gone back up this morning too, hopefully a positive sign for you!
I spent half of yesterday talking myself out of testing, very proud of myself 😆 had heartburn really badly all day yesterday, but then had dull cramps and convinced myself AF was on the way...still nothing..no idea what is going on x

Ladies I have no idea what is going on with my temp. It’s shot back up, I fully expected period to arrive yesterday or last night but nothing. I’ve not been symptom spotting so nothing to report there but I am really ill so i can only assume that’s the reason for the weird temperatures? I was dripping with sweat in bed last night (tmi 🤦🏼‍♀️) is that due to pregnant or fever? Who knows 😂 I’ve lost my appetite didn’t have any dinner and not hungry this morning pregnant or illness? No idea! But I suppose good thing is af not shown yet. 12dpo but not getting my hopes up truthfully I think she’ll show this week!

hows everyone this morning? Any more tests?? 😬

Sorry @Ashley942k, I can't see a line but I'm not the best at these things - other people's eyesight seems to be better than mine. Try again in a couple of days?

Is this faint my daughter seen it instantly 12dpo

@LuckyDuck93 I’ve just looked back on my temps and every single time the day mine drops below baseline period arrived that day! So I’m expecting her today! I’m gutted but got to keep moving forward. Still got everything crossed for you!

I’m thinking I might book for a private fertility test just to check all good.
if anyone has had any tests what is recommended? I’m just looking for like a fertility MOT.

@Taysonic there is defo correlation on RHR and early pregnancy! So this is really promising!!!

@TTCRach amazing!! Congratulations ✨ so clear on the boots one for 9dpo 🤍

Thanks girls! I’m 9dpo today so still very early xx

Congrats @TTCRach ! How many DPO are you? That’s a definite positive 🥳

Eeeek unmistakable! Congratulations @TTCRach!

And @LuckyDuck93 - my heart rate isn't up by that much, but my overnight stress levels are THROUGH THE ROOF. I'd say maybe up by about 3-5 BPM. If I'd been drinking loads of alcohol or something, I'd have put it down to that, but haven't been drinking and like I said, last night I was in bed by 7.30pm so it wasn't a case of not having had the opportunity to get good sleep.

Trying NOT to read too much into it and have those 'symptom' spotting glasses on but at the same time... I have more faith in 'numbers' than I do my own awareness of bodily functions... if you know what I mean!

I had these tests this morning… fingers crossed it keeps getting darker ❤️

@Taysonic is your HR up by much?
Must check my garmin app😅

Ooh lots of exciting looking news - keeping fingers crossed for you @TTCRach that the line continues to strengthen. And obviously to you as well @PoppyGirl222

Still holding out strong and not testing here. Although I was VERY tempted this morning. I wear a Garmin sports watch and some of the stats on there have been a bit weird... So my 'stress levels' have been elevated the last few days and my resting heart rate is up. The watch says what it thinks your 'body battery' is and over the weekend, it didn't go up very high overnight. I started yesterday at 15% body battery, and then did an 11 mile hike over a lot of hills and was KNACKERED. Overnight, my body battery only went up to 9%. And that was after going to bed at 7pm so pretty much 12 hours sleep. That's REALLY weird.

Either, my watch is glitching. Or something is going on...

Obviously I've goggled it and found some articles saying that watch 'behaviour' like this can indicate early pregnancy as the elevated heart rate is seen as 'abnormal' and skews your stats. But... would rather hold off and find out for definite if period is late rather than all the test squinting... I can't handle the uncertainty!

@TTCRach no because when I used them ttc my second and third I could never catch my peak. Even testing 2/3 times a day.

I feel like if I got them and managed to get a peak it would calm my anxiety but if I miss it it would make me worse. i’m my own worst enemy

Feeling a little anxious that I may have messed this month up and for a number of reasons this is the last month we can try for quite a while.
I use CB OPKs and they say to use them in the morning, which I had been all week and getting negatives. Yesterday I was only able to test in the afternoon and it immediately showed a peak with a solid smiley. Luckily we had BD the day before because my temp had dipped a little and I was getting worried I would miss my ovulation but now I think I may have anyway and thats my last chance gone.
Think this TWW will be even worse than usual!

Same here, feels like AF cramps, apparently due 14th but that'll be 14DPO, I normally only get to 11/12DPO

@xTinkerbell have you got some ovulation sticks for this month? X

I’m crampy but not in a one sided crampy way, it’s like a band all over like before AF. Not due til 13th says my app but she’s been known to make an early appearance 👀

i was briefly on the Jan thread but terrible at posting. We’re ttc baby 4. 2 months of not trying but not preventing but actively trying as of this month.

I say that but my husband is working away so actually last time we DTD will likely be 2 days before ovulation though at the moment i’m not tracking too closely and just aiming to dtd every 2/3 days.

I worry though I have consistently short cycles of 21-24 days and barely notice any ewcm so concerned it won’t happen for us

@Mama09876 oh no, that's so disappointing for you 😔
Mine also dropped this morning, not too much, but then mine normally comes down quite gradually, going to be very annoyed if AF arrives this month, i've had awful cramps & such sore boobs, I at least wanted it to be worth it 😆
