Fertile Feb!

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).

@LG0914 you can use the First Response Early response tests up to 6 days before your period is due. A lot of the others aren't sensitive enough to detect for sure though until you miss your period but you wouldn't necessarily have to wait a week after missing it. I'm terrible for testing early so bought a load of the one step test strips from eBay as a lot cheaper than the tests in the shops and have a FRER hidden away in case I see a possible positive on one of those. Hope that helps 😊

@lizzie198 ooh thank you! I did buy some super cheap testing strips but I'm trying not to test... not sure how long I'll last though!

@LG0914 I was so bloated yesterday and day before too. We’re you like this during or after ovulation?
I have got so many faint lines on frers that resulted in nothing so would rather not test early to avoid this happening again. Waiting until period is late this month-if!

ale2992 · 14/02/2019 23:21

I'm finally ovulating! It feels like such a long week of negative OPKs, felt like it was happening this month!

Herewegoagain84 · 14/02/2019 23:32

Officially in the tww- think I’m 2dpo. I think lots of us are at a similar stage! Had lots of creamy cm this morning but I’m guessing that just signals the end of my fertile period.

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 06:28

Do you count first peak day on CBFM as ovulation day or day after?

ale2992 · 15/02/2019 07:39

@Scottish1
I don't really know either way I just count it as time to DTD

LG0914 · 15/02/2019 08:03

@Scottish1 towards the end of fertile period- according to my app but I input the data on the tracker on here and it was slightly different so I'm not sure if 2ww starts today or it's already started.. it's so frustrating!

LG0914 · 15/02/2019 08:10

My last period was 28th til 1st.
Clue says fertile window 9-14 and AF should start 27th.
The ovulation tracker on here says fertile window 7-11 and AF should start 25th.
Have always been alright with using clue but confused as to the difference in dates. But we have covered both windows dtd so I'm still hopeful!

Bluebell9 · 15/02/2019 08:39

I took a test this morning and it was BFN. Only an internet cheapy though and only 8 DPO but i couldnt resist the urge to POAS!

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 20:53

Mild tugging feeling in lower abdomen 5dpo. Has anyone felt anything like this before? X

Niffler2019 · 15/02/2019 21:10

Hi ladies!

Can I jump in too?
I'm 35
TTC #2
1st cycle after coming off the pill recently. CD 8

Wishing you all lots of BFPs!!

It's very reassuring to see lots of 'older' ladies like myself here. I had convinced myself we'd left it too late to have #2 and our DD would be an only child. I've also been afraid of being the oldest mum at the school gates! 😂

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 21:35

Hi! @Niffler2019 Still younger than me! 😂 I hate that I am symptom spotting and googling everything! Feel like I’m getting my hopes up now and don’t want to!!!!

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 21:50

Kidding myself that I'm being more chilled this month whilst surfing the conception boards and couldn't resist when I saw you doing the same @Scottish1 🤣🤣

So ladies, straight into the details...I got my peak CB smiley face on Wednesday morning, bd Tuesday night and Thursday night, would you bd again tonight and/or tomorrow morning ?? Help!

Age 36 (DH 42)
TTC #2
Cycle 3

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:43

😂 @Doris19 Thought I was in the wrong thread then 😂😂 Glad I’m not the only one who is obsessed!

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:44

Feel a bit like a traitor to the other thread but I won’t tell them if you don’t 🤣

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 22:46

I’d say tonight @Doris19

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 22:53

@Scottish1 gotcha!! Absolutely, it can be our little secret 🤪

You're right...just got to strum up the energy!

Hope everyone else on this thread is doing well, lots of good OPK chat I can see here!

Kinsella82 · 16/02/2019 07:22

I just POAS, WHY??? I'm max 6DPO, could be even less so why did I do that!!?Sad

FilthyforFirth · 16/02/2019 07:26

I'm 10 DPO, possibly 8 as I dont really know when I ovulated... Got a frer going to test tomorrow as I am like clockwork and tomorrow is 6 days before my period is due.

Are you going to test again @bluebell9 ?

FilthyforFirth · 16/02/2019 07:28

Bfn @kinsella82? Dont worry, as you know it's too early, plenty of time to test still. Hard to resist I know!

Scottish1 · 16/02/2019 07:42

Hang on in there ladies! Not long now 😘

Kinsella82 · 16/02/2019 07:47

@FilthyforFirth yes it was bfn! Ah yeah I know there's still loads of time but it's annoying that I basically wasted a test - thankfully it was just an internet cheapie but still. This waiting is hard

ale2992 · 16/02/2019 08:34

TWW starts tomorrow again for me, so so hoping this month is my month 🤞🏻

shouldntbeonhereagain · 16/02/2019 09:07

Scottish 1 - I had that dragging /pulling sensation before I did the test. Had it intermittently since too. Hope it’s good news for you. Is this ttc#4 for you? How old are your others? X
