TTC February 2024 babies

[Hankthehonk]

Starting a thread because I don't see another one yet - I guess it is early for the potential Feb babies!
I'm on CD6 of 2nd cycle post miscarriage/6th month in total, ttc #2, due date would be around 2 February if we're successful this month.
Last month I was way too obsessive about testing, this month I'm really going to try to not let it take over my life - but let's see where I'm at in a few weeks' time. It's a busy month for me with a big work trip just after my fertile window then a family holiday when af is due so at least the tww shouldn't be so much of a drag.
Anyone else early in this cycle who will be trying for a Feb baby?

@cth96 nothing worse than a trickster line! How are you doing now?

@Catchafallingstar7 I'm not sure whether everyone is the same but for me personally I get the strongest ovulation feeling/cramps on the day I actually ovulate (day after LH peak and confirmed with BBT rise in previous cycles). This is why I am happy continuously testing everything, I know I'd obsess either way so might as well have as much information as possible!

@zorrodrt Sounds like your spotting was exactly like mine! Glad to hear a similar story, makes sense for it to be pre-ovulation. Thanks for sharing.

I'm now away for my work trip (until Thursday) and still haven't ovulated but LH is rising and more EWCM today. Hopefully it will be tomorrow or Monday, as we DTD yesterday and this morning so might still be in with a chance then. But it feels unlikely this will be our month now, since we can't be together on ovulation day itself.

Hi everyone! We are TTC #1. I’m pretty old (my age starts with a 4) so not that hopeful but you never know. I was just logging my periods on Premom (they’re all over the place since I came off the Pill, used to be 25 days like clockwork) and avoiding OPKs as when I first tried them they really stressed me out. But I cracked and started using Easy at Home strips again and it looks like we’ve caught the peak. I guess I will ovulate tomorrow looking at this? We DTD on Friday and Saturday, DH is at football today and I’m not sure either of us have the energy to go again today, but hopefully this means we are in with a chance.

If we aren’t lucky this month I’m definitely continuing the OPKs. Off to read the rest of the thread now, sending baby dust to everyone ✨

Actually I have some twinges so maybe I’m ovulating today? Hopefully DTD last night and the night before will be enough although I guess our chances aren’t high!

Getting frustrated waiting for ovulation! Dtd every two days in the hopes to catch it. Lh strips rising a bit (from nothing after miscarriage a couple of weeks ago) so just waiting and waiting now. Frustrated. Really want to fall on this month.

@hopefulsquirrel looks like a good peak! I believe you're meant to ovulate in the next 24-48hrs so it could be starting now.

If you dtd yesterday and Friday you've got a good chance! Fingers crossed.

@RegardingPersephone thank you, really hoping this will be our month. So sorry to hear about your recent loss.

@Hankthehonk I should think you’re still in with a chance with those days!

Now joking with DH that if this is our month we’ll have conceived during Eurovision so should pick a name from one of the acts

Joining this. Due yesterday but no sign yet. I've had ligament pain when standing too quick which I had with my last pregnancy and instead of AF pains I've had a stabbing/pulsing pain in my stomach since vet at the left side which I had before my missed AF last time too. What do you ladies think??

I'm not going to test u til next week. Will see if AF shows first. I've never been totally regular 28 days so it might still make an appearance. I'm also going out out on Saturday so will need to test before then just in case!

I’m pretty sure thats the last of the fertile days passed for me this month. I’m going in to my TWW. i already know this will drag but I’ve got a boozy weekend planned on the 1st June so I’ll have to test 31st May if AF doesn’t show up before then. I’m hoping I don’t test very early like last cycle but… 🤣 I might be back here with my head in my hands. I symptom spot like crazy which drives me wild so I’ll stay on this thread for the company :) good luck all

Hi all,
Looking to join this chat!
TTC #1 after MMC in February!
Took my first LH today which was positive! Was expecting this until Friday so was abit of a surprise and can’t help wishing I had tested a few days earlier but was trying not to get consumed by testing.
Hope we managed to do enough over the weekend and will be testing LH tomorrow to see if it’s going up or down.
Good luck to all this month! I’ll be looking for some strength over the TWW!

Please can I join! 36, TTC no.2, cycle #4 of monitoring and using ovulation strips etc. 6 months of ttc before that. Really losing hope on all this.
Anyone else had tests done and found high testosterone?? Any success stories of conceiving even if high? Xxxx

Anyone have any updates? I've been feeling so tired, had fuzzy eyes like tunnel vision. Still no AF. My app says I was due on the 14th but I'm not a regular 28 day cycle anyways so I'm expecting AF to appear at some point in the next day or so

@flowerpot258 no updates really just feels like the longest cycle ever!

It sounds like you might have had a migraine? Hope you're feeling better now.

I'm currently CD 31 10dpo. Ovulation was about a week delayed after having hycosy. Was told there is a lower chance of anything happening this cycle (although haven't seen evidence for this anywhere?) which has meant time has been passing even more slowly this month! Will probably be testing tomorrow morning though just to see

Ovulation for me is predicted for 21st/22nd with AF due 4th June. Keep everything crossed for me.

My LH is just starting to rise, I think I'll get peak tomorrow or Saturday. Won't actually see my DH from tomorrow afternoon til Monday though so hoping today / tomorrow will do the trick!

@flowerpot258 When are you going to test?

No updates from me only 2dpo so just trying to not get hung up on the TWW which is easier said than done.

Want to try not to test this month until AF has been well and truly been missed.
I think it must be easier to see AF than keep testing with negative results 😢

@Dinosaur39 I’m 3 DPO I think and already going mad wishing I could test. I hate the limbo of the 2WW.

@Catchafallingstar7 it’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it

Wishing everyone luck 💖

Today and tomorrow should be right in your fertile days by the sounds of it!

Hopefully... always worried though 😂

Hi everyone, joining in this one. Im 34 and ttc #2. This will be our third cycle. Like Louise35, Im expecting ovulation around 21-22 of May and AF due 4th of June. So happy to find my cycle buddy. Anyway me and my DH are both born in February so it would be so nice to get a BFP this month. Baby dust to all.

So I just took this test. No way??? Surely not? It came up straight away. I'm freaking out haha was not expecting this

Hi ladies , joining in again

Oh wow congratulations! That looks most definitely positive ✨

Congratulations 🥳

@hopefulsquirrel - I'm slightly freaking out haha really didn't expect it! It's my birthday today and im supposed to be going out for cocktails tomorrow! Not sure how im going to hide this from everyone
