Hi Everyone,

I thought I’d start a new thread for February following the January one.

About to start month 4 of TTC after a MC last month.

The months seem so long with a TWW thrown in but then I also can’t believe I’m about to start cycle 4! (I know that isn’t a long time for some of us and that makes me feel sad, TTC is so unfair at times)

Anyway, feel free to join if you’d like to get through February together! X

I bought a fertilily ages ago but haven’t used it yet.. I don’t know if I will. I tried it a couple of times at the time and it was awful 🙈. There’s a thread on MN and they refer to it as a plunger 🤣🤣. I’m also one of those people who cannot locate my cervix at all. I might try the fertilily at some point but still on the fence...[/quote]
A plunger!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wow ttc is sexy!!! Well we actually dtd last night. Wasn't planned, we hadn't since I had surgery but it just sort of happened. Not been like that for a while, usually more regimented, so it was nice. Was CD13 so who knows...

@arianasky this is how mine looked this month if that helps at all

@arianasky I think your chemical pregnancy has just pushed ovulation back by a few days but yes keep testing

@ariansky this was the month before I started ttc and actually caught my surge. I'm hopeless with testing everyday

mightbeyesmightbeno · 22/01/2022 11:38

@Purple29 the best kind of sex! CD13 is a good day!

mightbeyesmightbeno · 22/01/2022 11:50

CD7 for me and hoping to DTD tonight to kick off this month. Going with the Purple idea this month of emptying DH today.... let him replenish then bam bam bam from CD11. In-between house guests this month, so I think we'll end up CD11, 14 and 15 or 16. App predicts O to be CD16 this month, I don't think I'm going to OPK and will just try and go with the flow (half with the flow as I've already planned when to DTD ... 😂). Suspect this will all go totally out the window then depending on DH's desires.... but 🤞🤞🤞

arianasky · 22/01/2022 11:58

Ah thank you ladies that helps a lot! Hopefully in a day or three I'll ovulate then 🤞🏻

Bringonbaby3 · 22/01/2022 12:12

CD 8 for meeeee! Got a wax this morning to help the fertile week activities. We did last night and I’m going to start ovulation testing on Monday (I usually ovulate day 16ish). Think my husbands looking forward to another week of dtd!

Decaffe · 22/01/2022 15:06

Sounds fab @Purple29 I am very chuffed for you! Smile

Pops100 · 22/01/2022 17:20

@Curlywurly3 thanks love. I'm on the strips , I'm on CD 12, opks are visible around 0.20 mark continuously just not reached a higher reading yet If that makes sense 🤣 however not worried yet as seen so many people go from low to peaks overnight so just gonna keep testing!

mummytorm · 22/01/2022 17:24

Hi I originally comment on this thread and dipped out. I've been reading your comments, hope this is everyones month!

I'm currently 2dpo and really struggling with the waiting! Trying to keep myself occupied with my 10month old but it's always in my mind. Both of my pregnancies I've conceived first try so I'll be disappointed if I don't catch this month

DancinOnTheCeiling · 22/01/2022 17:48

@ladybuggoldfinch I’ll have a look, thank you.

DancinOnTheCeiling · 22/01/2022 17:50

@Purple29 when I read plunger I was simultaneously 🤣🤣🤣 and petrified. That’s fab you dtd spontaneously, 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you

AmberRH1993 · 22/01/2022 18:27

Evening everyone, just sitting here chuckling at the the tread and the idea of a cervical plunger 😂
8dpo today and no crazy sym9to write home about apart from some nausea and shooting nipple pains.. After last months bfn I've definitely learned my lesson not to symptom spot. I did this cheapie strip this afternoon and not sure if I can see the start of something or just a mean evap line. Let me know what you think...

@DancinOnTheCeling lol yeah no need to be scared... was just laughing at the comment that people were calling the fertilily a plunger!!!! I maybe should have made that clear!! 🤣🤣🤣

My DH may get lucky again tonight we've had a great little family day out and we have some wine in!!! 😜

Not holding out hope of conceiving tho but it's nice to take a break from thinking about dtd like that!!

mummytorm · 22/01/2022 19:36

@AmberRH1993 I can see a faint pink line which is promising. Can you try and take a pic without the shadow there

I threw it out now - I'm going to do another with fmu tomorrow so let's see what that shows.

arianasky · 22/01/2022 19:52

@AmberRH1993 I can definitely see the line without zooming in even 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for you 💕

Thank you @arianasky. Did you get any closer to your LH peak?

mummytorm · 22/01/2022 20:35

Anyone using the SMEG method? Thinking of trying it as I am suspicious I am getting false positives on OPKs.

QueenBee22 · 22/01/2022 20:56

Typo I meant SMEP!!

AmberRH1993 · 22/01/2022 21:00

@QueenBee22

Typo I meant SMEP!!
This cycle we dtd every other day or at worst every 3rd day from CD7 until after ovulation tests were completely negative. We like the method as it kept the fun in BD and also I think its supposed to give OH chance to maintain good potency in his swimmers.
