TTC February 2024 babies

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?

@Catchafallingstar7 sorry about bfn, hoping for you that you aren't out also hoping you are ok.. lots of chocolate for you tonight 🙂. This is cycle 4 for me since a loss and I had been tracking and waited for "the right time" before that (totally regret waiting now lol) so I feel like you I have been at this for ages even though as you said others have had alot longer to wait than us.

And I don't know about you but I am really quite sad at this time each cycle with the bfn... I got a bfn this morning. Pretty sure this isn't going to be the cycle for me but was thinking this morning, won't a March baby be lovely? 🥰

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 17:03

@Hankthehonk Well I hope that one way or another you get some answers... if not a bfp before then. 💜

@hopefulsquirrel I can't help myself either, I keep telling myself don't test but it's impossible not too isn't it lol

@Dinosaur39 I don't know how much it should be, but that would send my mind into overdrive too! Are you waiting for AF or planning on testing?

hopefulsquirrel · 25/05/2023 17:07

@Ladyinpink1 I had a call with my GP today about doing blood tests if we aren’t successful this month and she suggested I keep a few pregnancy tests in the house - like I needed the suggestion!

hopefulsquirrel · 25/05/2023 17:08

@Ladyinpink1 I’m sorry about the BFN, it is really sad when you don’t get a line

Ladyinpink1 · 25/05/2023 18:51

@hopefulsquirrel LOL at the GP, well if the GP has told you to get lots of tests who are you to argue 🤣.
That's great, at least the ball is rolling now IF this isn't the cycle x

Haha I know right! And thank you ❤️

AF is here and I’m out. I’m stepping away from these threads as I’m really struggling right now. Lots of luck and baby dust to you all.

L0uise35 · 28/05/2023 13:00

@hopefulsquirrel hope your ok. Mind yourself

Un7breakable · 28/05/2023 15:07

@hopefulsquirrel How long have you been trying?

Waiting for O here then I'll be joining you ladies in the TWW

L0uise35 · 28/05/2023 18:09

Af is due Sunday for me so mid TWW . Not hopeful though but we shall see.

Hankthehonk · 29/05/2023 12:33

@hopefulsquirrel You may not see this but hope you're OK and being kind to yourself. I get it...we probably all do here.

I'm struggling a bit too as this cycle has been a mess. My bbt and lh are all over the place, I've been spotting for a week but no sign of af which is now two days late.
I'm only ten weeks post miscarriage so maybe it's to do with that but I'm upset that I thought my regular cycles had come back and now all this. I'm going to try and see my gp and ask for progesterone testing but I'm preparing for them not to entertain me as we've only been trying for 5 months and I did get pregnant in that time albeit lost it.

Hankthehonk · 29/05/2023 12:34

I should say even though af is late I'm definitely not pregnant, I've had very low temps and confirmed by a bfn yesterday

L0uise35 · 01/06/2023 09:47

So looks like AF arrived today early, was due Sunday. So that is me out 😔 maybe next cycle

Fifii · 01/06/2023 12:54

I’m also out this month - had spotting for the last 5 days but I’m pretty sure af arrived this morning :(

Ladyinpink1 · 02/06/2023 22:35

Sorry for the bfn and AF arriving ladies, it's tough, sending sympathy 💜

I am the same, cd4 today for me fresh new cycle, ready to try again soon (maybe do legs in air for longer this cycle 🤣 ) hope you all manage to have a nice weekend and hopefully talk soon for our next tww 🙂 xx

Mangotango39 · 03/06/2023 15:27

9dpo and I have had one pink/red spot everytime I have wiped today (not in uk - it's now 10pm)

It's stopped the last two times I have been to the loo.
Really worried if it's period rather than implantation but my periods wouldn't usually start that way - I don't think so anyway but obviously I am hyper vigilant at the moment.

I ovulated later than usual so it is cd31 overall - cycles up to 36 days have been my longest over the last few years but cd32/33 average.
Guess I'll probably see tomorrow and will test 12dpo if still no AF.
eeeek waiting is horrid and my mind is doing overtime.

Rainyday33 · 03/06/2023 18:31

Got a BFP today, totally unexpected. I ddt 5 days before ovulation, didnt menaged after that. I will confirm tommorow with fmu. I guess its meant to be a february baby. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Ladyinpink1 · 03/06/2023 19:58

@Mangotango39 Hoping it's implantation bleeding and you get good news soon! x

@Rainyday33 congratulations 🎉 how lovely especially when you weren't expecting it x

Rainyday33 · 03/06/2023 20:08

Thank you Ladyinpink.

Hankthehonk · 03/06/2023 20:49

@Rainyday33 Congratulations!! So great to hear stories like this where it can happen without dtd over the whole fertile window. Definitely meant to be!
How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Rainyday33 · 03/06/2023 21:18

@Hankthehonk I dont have any symptoms. Im a little lightheaded and often peeing. Didnt symptom spot at all this cycle becouse I was convinced Im out. I didnt have any symptoms in my last pregnancy either.

Hankthehonk · 03/06/2023 23:41

I'm totally confused by this cycle but think I might be ovulating super late. If I am, I might be in with a chance for a Feb baby after all.
I've only had one period since my miscarriage, plus a stressful week as mentioned previously, so maybe I should have expected that my cycle wouldn't be regular yet but I've found it confusing and upsetting. Especially because I had 10 days of light spotting which just ended a few days ago.
For the whole of May my LH and BBT have been all over the place but I didn't get a positive opk until today.
Today I've got opk at 1.3 this morning and 1.6 this evening, EWCM and cramping. I'm on cd38. So I'm confused but should treat it as possible ovulation, will try to dtd tomorrow and Monday. We haven't done it since Tuesday which would be 5 days pre ov.
Let's see what my temp and opk are tomorrow, hopefully I can confirm ovulation...

Ladyinpink1 · 04/06/2023 22:10

@Hankthehonk Just seeing your message now. Glad the spotting has stopped, that all sounds great if you are coming up for ovulation now! Make sure your dp is on call these next few days 😄 x

Hankthehonk · 11/06/2023 06:56

How's everyone getting on?
I'm 7dpo and starting to symptom spot but in reality it's nothing 🙃
I'm doing Proov pdg tests for the first time this month and tested positive for high progesterone this morning which is reassuring. Doesn't mean anything in terms of whether or not I might be pregnant but relieved to know I ovulated and pdg levels are OK.

OP posts:
Ladyinpink1 · 12/06/2023 07:35

@Hankthehonk That was quick with getting the tests, really glad to hear levels are good, do you feel better about things now? Will you test or wait for AF?

I decided to stop my different supplements and vitamins I was on this cycle and it's had an effect as I am on cd14 and just got my positive opk this morning, so will be ovulating a few days later than I have been, in previous cycles this year, which I am pleased about as I read that ovulating too early can be bad 🙂
