Anyone testing beginning of Feb?

[CocoW]

Hello! I am new to this forum & wanted to chat to anyone testing around the same time as me at the beginning of Feb!
Going off the app I use I am about to ovulate so will be DTD lots over the next week!
I have been TTC for around 5/6 months now but haven't discussed with friends or family so hoping to feel better by discussing with people in the same situation

@Kaylab2489 I’m really sorry about your miscarriage, that must have been awful for you.

Regarding cervical mucus, have you ever tried pre-seed? I used it to help conceive my first baby. I have no idea how responsible it was for actually conceiving. But if you have little EWCM it might be really helpful to you?

Hello, can I join please? AF is due 4th Feb. I am in a similar situ to many of you, this is my first month TTC #2 with a busy toddler and both of us working full time. Sexytimes are sometimes hard(!) to come (!) by (hahaha I am so funny ). However we did fit in a well timed DTD on cd13 and I have v regular 28/29 day cycles so hopefully it is enough. 2DPO today.

I am not a fan of testing early / forking out loads of money on tests, and prefer to wait till a missed period but will be watching everyone else with excitement!!

Help I just need a bit of sympathy! I think I'm coming down with a lurgy! woke up with that suspicious tingle in the back of the throat, awful sour hollow feeling in my stomach and general meh-ness that
has the potential to develop into something impressive over the next 48hrs!

I had that awful virus thingy doing the rounds that absolutely wiped me out for two weeks at the end of Nov/early Dec - which also aligned with a +ve pregnancy test (that ultimately turned out to be a CP) but meant that I obviously couldn't even take any good drugs!

Only officially on DPO2 (although i think i actually O'd early this month) either way I don't want to risk having anything other than paracetamol but surely I can't owed another illness so soon!

Trying to hold onto he power of positive thinking but all I really want to do is go home and hind under the duvet for the rest of the day!!

Meeeeeee! I am due on the 3rd so if my period doesn't arrive I'll be testing on the 5th 😁 I've not been trying very long, we started trying end of November so our first month TTC was December. I'm trying to not get my hopes up but I can't help it 😅

@Talcott2007 - you have my sympathy, it's awful being poorly 😢

@kittywindbag yeah was horrendous I won't lie 😣
So iv got the seven seas trying to conceive tablets which I'm going to try.. However.. I had ewcm yesterday and day before and last night and today iv had really watery cm 🤞 so have dtd this evening in hope I may have caught the end of fertile window.. Ovia app said I should have ovulated Saturday but I'm not so sure also had some niggly feeling in ovaries last night and today so hopefully one little sperm will be successful lol 🤞🙈

Good luck, @Kaylab2489. I often find my ovia
App to be a little out. They really rely on the average cycle and my info updates don’t seem to alter their predictions for picnic. I use ovia and clue as general period trackers but follow my own ovulation pain as well.

*my cycle, not picnic

@Kaylab2489 Good luck! I like to imagine the fertilised egg travelling down the fallopian tube and nestling into the wall of the uterus.

TTC involves so much waiting, which I'm not good at!

Clue is always way out for me. Flo is more accurate. Usually I don't check but I did bbt and opk and they point to when flo does. Clue is 4 days behind?

I log my data every cycle and clue tends to be accurate for me yet Ovia isn’t? It’s a mystery tbh!

I'm 1dpo, so hopefully the timing was right. AF due on 6th of Feb. Although I have PCOS so who knows anymore! It would be a lovely Valentines Day present for us if we finally manage it this time!!!

I just use a free app, it assumes the fertile window is on days 11 to 17. Not very scientific! But helps avoid stress.

I have a bit of a moral quandry here - there's a job advertised that I could apply for and have an extremely good chance at getting. Do I apply hoping that I'll be pregnant before I even get the interview?

Ovia- it didn't plot when I ovulated. The window was correct once I manually added my ovulation day. But that's pretty pointless?!

@uisage that’s so weird I’m in exactly the same position. It’s not a dream job but we could do with the money. It’s a job that would be quite hard to do during the tougher phases of pregnancy.

Iv had some pain down on my left side ovary just now 🙈 I don't know what's going on or what lol.. Would you ladies say I'm now 1 dpo? After yesterday's events x

@KittyWindbag Are you my double? 😂 It's for another job in my department, I know the team that's advertising it and they're all men who don't have families. So the news that I would be going on maternity wouldn't be well received. Plus coasting through my current job would be a lot easier. What are you thinking?

@Kaylab2489 could be! If it feels like your regular ovulation pain. I hope so 🤞

@uisage Similar, taking mat leave would not go down well in this position. I don’t live in the UK, the attitudes to pregnant employees is more nakedly crap than it is in the UK where they at least have to pretend not to discriminate.

I tend to think I should always apply for jobs regardless and then deal with the fall out if I’m successful. It feels wrong to turn down opportunities based on a pregnancy that may not even happen. But at the same time I do worry. The timing is so dramatic! Haha.

@KittyWindbag I'm so torn! I could put in an application and then decide if I'm successful. My CV is up to date, it wouldn't take too much time to do. It just seems dishonest. I am working on the assumption that I will get pregnant quickly - I know it's not a guarantee just because I did last time, but it doesn't hurt to be optimistic!

I did wonder how you had the energy to post after 11! If you're in a different time zone, that explains it... My husband was up till 10 last night sending work emails, we needed to DTD last night because we won't get chance today. So a quickie for us last night, and a late night of 10:20.

@kittywindbag I really am. Hoping so 🤞🤞🤞 x

Got my positive OPK tonight, planning on keeping DH locked in the bedroom for a few days 😂 and so the 2WW begins...

@uisage I understand completely, but we shouldn’t feel guilty, we may not even be pregnant and if we are, that’s not a crime. It’s a fucking lot to carry on your shoulders! I’ve applied for mine, I may not get it. I may get it. I may be pregnant, I may not. So much depends on the space of a few weeks, it’s exhausting.

Yes, I live in Asia, absolutely no way I’d be up farting about on the internet at gone 11, don’t even think I remember what 11pm looks like. Guess that’ll change if I do get pregnant.

@Nat4392 Sending positive thoughts your way! My 2WW has just started too.

@KittyWindbag I got half way through the application and then had to stop to do sone work. Will try again on Monday, deadline is a week on Sunday. I am not relishing the thought of newborn and toddler. I got by last time because DS would have a lie in till 8, not going to happen again because he wakes at 6 at the moment.

How is everyone?

I am so over waiting to test already & its not even a full week yet. AF due a week tomorrow but think I'll start testing on Friday & over the weekend with a FRER🤞🏼

@CocoW good luck!
My AF is due around the 5th I think, my cycles have been pretty short and my LP is only around 9-10 days. At least it makes the TWW slightly less 🙈
On the downside I think all this DTD has landed me with a UTI 😫
