TTC Feb 2025

Ohh yea maybe that’s what it was @Mama09876. Im wild for googling myself into a negative space, i’m worse case scenario girl lol 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ i can’t help it. lol yea i’m like you, i’m grand (ish) the first week and then i’m chopping at the bit after that 😂. Hopefully you’ll stay distracted. I’ll probably cave eventually towards the end of the second week 🤦🏼‍♀️. He’s away for a few days with work soon so it’ll just be me and google hahaha

Yeah it does defo look like that peak on 28th so 4dpo. I did find this online saying it’s common to spot some times 1-2 days after ovulation so I wonder if that’s what it is?

im normally ok in the first 7 days it’s when I get to the 2nd week I start going a bit mental 😂😂 but I really hope the distraction with how busy work is and weekend plans help this!

@TTCRach we only ever manage it twice so I’m hoping it’s worked as well! Welcome to TWW chick 🥰

No i’m not testing anymore, it was really low so i took it that the peak was done and dusted for this month. I’ll start testing again the day after my period goes (if it comes). Hopefully there’s some good news this month for this group 🤞🏼💛. Im lucky the runny nose only started on ovulation day so we were able to do it each day for the three days before ovulation, the day of and the day after. It feels like allergies more than a cold like hay fever clear runny nose and a bit of a headache. Fingers crossed you caught ovulation.

@Mama09876 @PoppyGirl222 app is saying I am 1DPO today - sending lots of luck for us all!
I also have a nasty cold and have been full of snot all week 😷. Which is why we only managed to go twice in the fertile window. Hoping we managed to catch ovulation.
Are you still using LH tests? I have and can see they are low now so guessing I did have my peak. I ovulated late last month and missed it (wasn’t using strips but had EWCM and pain) … so I’m thinking it’s no harm to continue to LH test. Xx

.

@Mama09876 it’s really strange, aww who knows. It’s stopped now. The app says 4dpo because of the peak so it’s bound to be right surely? Period’s due on the 14th so whatever will be will be. I have the worst runny nose still lol so it’s distracting me. We’re literally at the same stage

Hey ladies how is everyone!

@PoppyGirl222 that’s really so strange? I wanna say I wonder if it’s implantation? But feels to early if you’re only 4dpo unless maybe ovulated earlier? & you’ve never had it before? Wonder if something has just aggravated it?

@TTCRach you’re peak looks like it was defo around 31st! Good luck hope you’ve caught it 🥰

im feeling all fine, nothing to report I’ve been really busy to be honest so not really paid any attention to myself 😂 I’ve not been BBT since last week so I need to get back in a routine with that this week. I’d say I’m 4dpo today.

It’s gone completely, only lasted till lunchtime yesterday so few hours but i’m sure it’ll come back at some point to mess with me 🙄. It’s really stressful especially when you’re trying so hard to force yourself to not play the tww games lol. It’s like it forces you to play. I don’t hold out much hope tbh, i’m one of these people who always thinks “i’d never be lucky enough” I know that’s not the right attitude and you should be positive but i’m always cautious & a wee bit negative towards myself. If only we could be as kind to ourselves as we are to other people.

@PoppyGirl222 yeah the strips have never worked for me before so I’m hoping it counts for something!

If it isn’t any heavier, the pink and brown wiping can be a good sign I think? Fingers crossed for you 🤞 I have read so many different stories/posts that I’ve concluded any symptom can be a positive or negative one at this point 🤦‍♀️ It would drive you nuts lol.

That’s a good number @Mossyslabs fingers crossed for you too. I take folic acid, have been for a while now because a blood test showed i was deficient in that and a couple others but it’s never altered my cycle (yet 🙄, until now possibly). Been taking it two odd yrs.

@cltw not sure if it’s common but there’s lot of cases on Mumsnet of women saying their cycles changed. Mine definitely did! I ovulated later too.

@PoppyGirl222 yeah I’m 2ww. We’ve only DTD today though and shortly after my period. I had a positive ovulation test this morning though, first one I’ve ever had positive. It says 1.9 peak on the app. Hoping it works this time🤞

Oh no!! Is this a common thing?? I've just started taking it this month..

We’re basically dammed if we do and dammed if we don’t. It’s an absolute minefield. It’s stopped now, it’s sometimes there when i wipe and sometimes not. It’s now a baby pink/light pink colour. You’re in your tww too aren’t you? We did it the three days up to ovulation, the day off and day after so no matter what happens i gave it my best. He’s great he just goes with whatever schedule i make lol.

@PoppyGirl222 they started mucking up when I started taking folic acid. I read some people are sensitive to it and it can disrupt your cycle a bit. I think this is the reason mine have changed because years ago I took a multivitamin for a few months and my cycles were off. When I don’t take any vitamins, they seem more regular.

I meant i’m 3dpo maybe 4dpo not cd lol my heads away. Im cd14 today.

Aww no really? Why do they change? Mine have been no word of a lie like clockwork, 11pm/midnight’ish on the 27th day boom there it is….sometimes it’s been the day before but rarely and if it is it’s so light light it’s gearing up. I read online during my obsessive anxious googling this morning that some people get ovulation bleeding 🤷🏼‍♀️ i’ve never had that but maybe it is. Who knows. The ttw is a b%#ch!

@PoppyGirl222 ah sorry, that’s rotten but yeah try and distract yourself today. It’s so hard not to think about it all though.

My periods were 26 days for years. Since TTC I’ve had a 32 day last month, 29 twice and a 25 🤦‍♀️

My period is every 27 days on the dot literally for the past 20yrs so it’s not my period, it only went away 10days ago i’ll be raging if it’s gonna start mucking around now after 20 odd years lol. I meant 3/4 dpo in above post not cd 🤦🏼‍♀️ my head was a bit melted. Yea i’m 3-4 dpo and cd 14. Period’s due 14th February. It’s stopped now and is pink when i wipe. I’ve a panty liner on and i’ve told myself i’m not caring for 24hrs and i’ll readdress it then.

Ah @PoppyGirl222 sorry to hear you’re feeling down about it. It’s honestly such a head Fk all of this. I think you still have a chance thought if period not appeared yet fully 🤞

Also I’m far too obsessed with my discharge lol

Good luck everyone!

DH ended up home early so we DTD this morning CD18, I think I’m too late but thought we might as well try.

I had stringy discharge this morning and lots after sex, not sperm just clear string. I am hoping I’ve ovulated late but my app says it should have been day 14 when I had watery discharge. Time will tell!

@Mama09876 How are you? Well i woke up this morning and felt like my period was coming (it’s not due till 14th) and i’ve been bleeding all morning, crampy, sore boobs, feel like i’ve got the cold runny nose ect. Like blood colour not pink, burgundy blood colour with tiny specks of thickness in like micro mini clots. It’s not super heaps but it’s enough to make the think wtf & be a bit down about it. Cd 3 i guess you could argue maybe cd 4. I don’t know like why can’t anything be simple lol if i didn’t laugh i’d cry. No one knows we’re trying so all i have is google and you guys 💛.

How are you all?

That looks like what mine looked like. I think you’re right, 30th/31st. It’s apparently so easy to miss & to get it spot on at the absolute highest it’s gonna be. I only tested twice a day, will probably step it up to three next month if not successful. As long as we all remember we’re doing the very best that we can and that’s all we can give.

30th/31st I mean !!

This app is driving me mad - anyone else obsessing over the testing? The app has only picked up ‘high’ and not peak… but I guess it’s possible that my peak came 29/30th in between testing?
