Fertile Feb!

[LouzieC]

Anyone out there want to join me in trying for a successful Feb?! I’m sure there are loads of us out there can can support and answer questions :)
I’m 35, TTC #2 and have been trying for 4 months or so. My Son is almost 16 months so out of that baby stage which was so much fun (although this age defo has its perks).

The waiting is so hard!! My lower back is aching really badly today and i feel a bit crap tbh. I don't drink coffee but usually don't mind the smell, i caught the smell of someones coffee while out yesterday and made me feel sick! Way too early for symptoms so shouldn't even think anything of it but my head is messing with me so bad!

Hi @Lpot1975 !

I know, @Lg0914 ! My boobs are tender today and I was feeling prickly sensations so was thinking it was a symptom but my boobs get tender before Af too just can’t remember if they feel like this normally a week before Af or later! Got to stop reading into things!!!

@FilthyforFirth I'm so sorry 💐 hope you had a chilled Sunday and are feeling a bit better now. Even if it's the rational answer makes it no easier to accept. Thinking of you.

@Bluebell9 it must be feeling real now, there's nothing like a good FRER!! Congratulations 😊

Congrats @Bluebell9

@LG0914 I've been having really crampy lower back pain too. Like so sore.
Really driving myself mad symptom spotting.

@FilthyforFirth hope you're ok x

@Bluebell9 congratulations again. So happy for you and any other BFPs I may have missed x

@Kinsella82 it's awful isn't it?! overthinking every possible symptom!

@LG0914 yes! And I never realised how slow time would go while TTC!!

Feel like I need to leave, I'm not in the Feb club anymore So pleased for all who made it this month . Best of luck with your pregnancies!

Thanks everyone, It still doesn't feel real. Good luck to everyone.

How's everyone doing?
I'm 3dpo and cd20, 2nd cycle after MMC. AF due between 27th-2nd not really sure.
Having the most vivid dreams for the past week and have the worst back pain.

I have a night out planned for Friday and know it's probably still too soon to test then but really unsure what to do re drinking that night?

I'm also due 27th
And for the night out you could still drink but not as much as would have before?

@LG0914 yes I could, I might just make an excuse and say I'm on antibiotics or something x

@FilthyforFirth you don't need to go away I'm sure it will become fertile March for a few of us I'm only 5dpo at the moment but not feeling very positive of a bfp this month

I’m 6dpo - I’ve had quite sharp painful cramps for a few days - but nothing today. Also think they would have been too early to be implantation so no idea what they were. I had yellow cm today (I’ve heard positive things) but nothing else to report! Not feeling too hopeful.

@ale2992 I would definitely go out and have a drink - just don’t overdo it. You won’t have had a positive test by then (and you don’t actually share a blood supply with the baby until 6 weeks). If you don’t want to drink, I think the antibiotics excuse is a dead giveaway! Last time I was pregnant I found the best thing to do was accept a drink and just hold it - no one tends to notice anyone else’s glass. Much less attention drawn that way

@ale2992 to add to that, then you can always got to the loo, take your glass with you and chuck it down the loo if you wanted! This is what I did last cycle (although wasn't actually preggo!) I agree antibiotics is a dead giveaway 🙀

@Herewegoagain84 I know! It's a such a give away!
@Doris19 that is a good idea but I'm out with my mum and close friends they'll suspect me anyway they know were trying again! I'm a shit liar as well so that doesn't help

Hi ladies! 8DPO and feeling fed up with this whole ttc malarkey! Period due a week today. Hope you don’t mind but going to have a little rant....I said I wasn’t going to get my hopes up but have! My boobs were so achey yesterday which I do get before af normally but this time it felt like the let down feeling when you are breast feeding-mild but def the same sensation. Of course I googled it and like every other bloody possible pregnancy symptom it was there! So I got my hopes up but today boobs feel normal again and I’m getting the mildest faintest af crampy feeling so now I don’t think it’s happened. I can’t remember how early I normally get af cramps although I did log cramps at 10dpo last month so not far off. I feel like my egg quality is probably not good now at 38 and so wish I was younger! I know I’m being impatient as this is only 3rd month ttc but just want it to happen!!!! Thanks for listening and sorry about rant! 😂 How is everyone else getting on? X

Congrats Bluebell!

I’m 8 DPO and AF due on 24th. I ordered FRER off Amazon and did a test this afternoon but it was a BFN. I know it’s maybe a bit early plus also I feel a bit PMT-ish so AF likely on its way but I have no patience whatsoever 🤷🏼‍♀️

This was only the first cycle so I know I need to just chill out!

Think I'm 2dpo now and due on 1st. I've got a night out at the weekend too but will just take it easy. It's hard to keep putting life on hold when we've been trying so long. We've got a few things to look forward to in the next few months so that def helps keep distracted!

@muddypuddlejumping that's exactly how I feel, I'm just going to take it easy like you but enjoy myself

@ale2992 how long have you been trying? I think it's getting easier to ignore now as it feels so unlikely I'll get a bfp atm. I don't actually even mean that in a negative way but just what will be will be. I've got one and we are thrilled with the little girl she is becoming.
However, when I'm 9dpo and waiting to rest, I'll probably feel differently 🙈😂

Since September technically but fell pregnant by November, had a MMC in December. This is my second cycle since but didn't really try the first cycle just didn't prevent. @muddypuddlejumping

Very quiet on this thread! Is anyone close to testing? Hope you are all hanging in there ok! ❤️
