February 2025 TTC Support Group Part 2!

Morning everyone! I'm jumping back into this chat - I was in the original Feb thread but it was moving so fast I struggled to keep up! So nice to see some other BFPs in here! I got my BFP yesterday at 10DPO (cheapie) and have tested again with an FRER this morning. These lines are already way stronger than my previous chemical pregnancy in September. My lines for my early MC in December did get slightly darker but took a long time and weren't this dark this early so I'm just praying this is a good sign. Trying to be positive but not wanting to get excited. First hurdle is getting past Friday (AF due) and then if I get a week past that I'll book a private scan for 7/8 weeks I think! Wanted to join in for the solidarity of anyone else feeling a bit apprehensive with a BFP too! Sending baby dust to everyone still waiting for theirs!

my bleeding stopped, lines are getting darker on the FRER so i’m not ruling it out just yet…
potentially could be an ectopic pregnancy as I’ve had one before 8 years ago, just going to wait a week or so before I test again and see if the hcg goes up or down as i’m spending a fortune on these tests! and I’m still only 12DPO

I am doing well. Tests are still getting darker and having a very light spotting from time to time on wiping. Seems to be going more brown colour. I am feeling more positive now. I’m going to contact GP next week and request EPU referral. No way will I manage to wait to 12 weeks if everything did work out

Thats a win for sure💫 its so rubbish at times, we are allowed to have a sad day! First month ttc after my ectopic and one tube down so need to accept it may take some time❤️ might have a go at tracking bbt this cycle x

Thank you everyone for your congratulations! Still in disbelief! ❤️❤️
@carolinep3 how late are you now? How strange you are having negative tests but AF hasn’t made an appearance either 😔 I hope you get some answers soon x

@Mumzydarling12 congrats, that's great news.
My af still hasn't shown up, I'm so late but negative tests 😡

Sorry to hear this, but sending lots of baby dust for the next cycle x

@Lemoncello823 how are you doing? 🤞

Congratulations @Mumzydarling12 so great to see positives!

Me too...at least it looks like we are cycle buddies! I'm in pain and I'm sad but I tracked my BBT this month and have confirmed ovulation which I'm taking as a win, trying to keep a positive mindframe.

@Mummahelp I'm 32, TTC #3 and on cycle 3 or 4 now depending on how you look at it. It's been 9 years since I last did this so it's daunting and I am finding it so hard mentally too so you're definitely not alone in that.

Sorry to hear this 😔 sending lots of baby dust to you for this cycle x

Huge congratulations @Mumzydarling12 💕

AF arrived this morning so am out this month! Best of luck ladies still yet to test xx

Congratulations @Mumzydarling12 !! X

So happy for you ✨💕

@Mumzydarling12 congratulations! Amazing news! ❤️ x

That's such amazing news!! Congratulations!! Hopefully some of us will see you over on the October/November boards soon! X

@Mumzydarling12 Congratulations that's wonderful news after your journey! Wishing you a smooth, happy and healthy pregnancy 💕 You must be over the moon 🥹

Congratulations ✨✨

Good morning ladies, well after 9/10 TTC cycles it’s officially confirmed with a clear blue digital! Can’t believe it’s actually happening!! ❤️❤️ I was due my period yesterday/today and took the test first thing this morning and it has come up 2-3 weeks… I was expecting 1-2 weeks? So perhaps I ovulated a bit earlier than I thought! We are absolutely over the moon. Wishing you all lots of baby dust! ❤️❤️

Yeah I was very lucky. I'm hoping the luck continues this cycle!
Thank you, it was tough to go through but some things just aren't meant to be unfortunately.
Of course, I have a 12yo DS and an 8yo DD, so leaving #3 to the last minute! They're with my exH and so I'm with someone new now (well, we've been together 4 years).
I've had a couple of bouts of nausea today and I just feel so achy in my uterus. Like it's not period cramp, it's something completely different. I wasn't looking for the signs in my other pregnancies whereas this time I feel like I'm noticing every single niggle! We've decided we're going to test Friday. I'd annoy myself for testing too early and seeing a negative, so hopefully by Friday there will definitely be something there. I am trying to be relaxed about it... not that you can tell! Good luck to you, I really hope this is your month!! X

I don't know if there is a way to take your mind off of it! It still consumes me. I don't know if I'm going to bother doing lots of tracking this month.
I say that now, but maybe not bbt but I will do my ovulation clearblue (amazon sale on these btw).
I have two already too and the longer this goes on the bigger the age gap goes which upsets me.
Someone mentioned having my tubes check? Don't know if that is worth it at this stage, would have to go private. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@woodpeckersounds
Wow that’s amazing you conceived both times first cycle! I’m sorry to hear about your loss in November, I hope this is your month! Would you mind me asking how old your other kids are? Mine are 2 and 4 so finding the energy to DTD enough is challenging! I’m 12 DPO tomorrow so not far off you, but can’t say I’m experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, except for mood swings 😂 which is probably due to AF about to arrive! I hate testing and seeing it negative so I’d rather wait it out with some hope still than test early.
