TTC February 2024 ✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in February 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Jan to Feb! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

This is a really interesting machine what’s it called?

Hi @Racket81 I used one of these for three months before we started TTC. All of those months, I got 'High' from day eight or nine onwards and then ovulated either day 13 or 14.

This month, I got 'High' from day 9 and 'Peak' on day 16 and 17. I did have a chemical earlier this month, so that could account for later ovulation, but I do think it just sometimes happens.

After the monitor detects a peak, it doesn't require any further tests, so I ovulated day 17 and it's now back down automatically to 'Low'. My OPKs had a consistent mid-range line from day 12 and peaked for one day at day 16 - the same day the monitor and a CB fertility tracker I have gave a static smiley. So I think they're pretty accurate :)

I'm excited to see it ramping up for you!

@hicketypickety
I'm sorry, that sucks. :(
It's unfortunate that they have so many conditions to provide a basic need. I hope things turn out better the next time..

Sorry to hear thay @hicketypickety xxx

So getting a high 2 days after Af finishes isnt that unusual unusuits just a bit quick for me as I only normally het 1 high day thrn straight to peak. I'm just gonna take this as a possative thing and see what happens.

I started getting 'high' one day two days after AF finished this time :). A bit early for me considering when I actually ovulated, but it just means I started ramping up the oestrogen in prep for the Lh surge.

Today I'm CD28, according to NC I'm 14DPO and 3rd day of missed period (was due on Monday). Still BFN this morning. To add insult to injury I was feeling really down this morning and was a bit teary when I got to work. Told my TA I'm hormonal and started to cry- she said 'congrats, I'd guessed you were pregnant' and then had to tell her that I'm not!

@piechipsgravy Ah that's so difficult, I'm sorry. It's the worst when people make comments like that when you're already struggling.

I am 6dpo today and woke up feeling pretty nauseous. I've also been feeling dizzy today. Which could mean I'm pregnant, or could be because I've been having trouble sleeping and getting up early for work, and I'm really sleep deprived now. The insomnia could also be a sign that I'm pregnant, but if fatigue is a common pregnancy symptom, then it's probably a sign that I'm not.

Also since I'm only 6dpo, none of this probably means anything.

I love how everything both is and is not a possible pregnancy symptom.

@Phinie I’m only 4dpo and I know it’s definitely definitely too early for any symptoms, however, I had weird tummy flutters yesterday and back pain over night and this morning. I don’t have any other explanation for it but trying to convince myself it’s not a pregnancy symptom is quite difficult!

Heyy has any one uses pregona are conception before and it’s delayed AF? If so what did you do if anything to fix this

8dpo for me, took a cheaply test BFN Obviously 🙄 think I'll do an early response tomorrow at 9dpo

Hi Ladies

I didn't post in Jan but was watching your posts.

Jan was our first month TTC im 34 hubby is 39 ( we both had fertility checks last year all came back ok)

We weren't successful this month even though we apparently did the deed during my fertile dates, my ovulation was predicted for 18th Jan on the evening of 17th I had horrible cramps that had me doubled over, I'm not tracking with temps or opks yet may start this is we keep struggling, just been going off when i get my ecm and ovulation pains and when apps say maybe my fertile dates.

my cycles can vary a bit through 26 to 32 days, this month one app said 2nd the other said 6th Feb but I ended up starting today so 27/28 day cycle

Here's hoping Feb is a better month for us all and we finally get some BFP's

Hi, am I ok joining? Had a MMC back in December whilst trying for our first. I'm finding it hard that none of our friends know, so I'm hoping this might help me by having somewhere to chat as we're all going through something similar. Today I'm on CD16 and it's my ovulation day according to the clear blue ovulation tests, and tomorrow will begin the TWW which is so stressful. I'm hoping this group can keep my mind occupied 😊.

How are we all feeling now that February has arrived? I am on CD8 so pre-fertile window. Next week is showtime! Find myself either feeling very excited or feeling a bit run down.

@SnKcampbell I am the same as you. 35yo and this is my second cycle of trying. I decided when my period arrived last week to fully go in on the tracking, so I bought Natural Cycles (which does temps) and OPKs. Hoping that gives us a good chance. One positive is that it sends notifications to my husband, so I don't have to tell him when fertile days are.

Wishing everyone the best luck 💫

Thank you, we are not quite ready for opks and btt just yet, hope this works out for you though. and wishing you lots of luck

we plan to do it every 3 days starting when my period ends and then stopping a few days before I'm due to start, hubby says to email him the dates every 3 days as a reminder as he didn't like me nagging him last month he felt the pressure he said lol

so CD1 round 2 for us back at it from the 6th Feb lol

Oh absolutely, it’s very early to go whole hog and totally understand your position. I am def not giving any advice or tips - I certainly have no expertise… yet!

Best of luck to you both!

Thanks, so many say it may be a better way to track with opks and btt but also seems like it maybe stressful?

i have learnt from this month though my body likes to play tricks on me as we really thought i was in with some symptoms i don't normally have showing up but looks like i was tricked lol

I found it completely messed with my cycles so stopped taking them completely and they returned to normal. It's apparently one of the B vitamins that can cause a longer leuteal phase!

Hope everyone's doing okay!

CD15 today, ovulation is either today or tomorrow so we're dtd everyday.

I'm feeling weirdly hopeful this month for some reason, I don't know if it's because my cycles are back to normal which is making me feel like there's more of a chance or if I'm just delusional but we can only hope!!

good luck to everyone entering the TWW, we've got this ✨✨

Ooh thank you I was starting to worry what did you take instead or did you just stop vitamins all together?

@Anonxo I decided to just stop them completely for the time being, I've bought the seven seas folic acid +vit D but I'm a bit apprehensive to take them currently. I'm tempted to wait until I do hopefully fall pregnant and then start folic acid at that point.. aside from the effects on my period I simply can't afford them along with all the fertility friendly lube, opks and pregnancy tests 😂

😂😂 that makes sense I was considering just taking the basic boots brand folic acid but gotta wait for af to come back first 🙃

2nd day of high on my fertility monitor. Did yesterday twice so gonna give today a rest day if the man in my life can handle it. We dtd alot anyway almost every day normally so I'm thinking this may not be helping but hindering but he is like a rabbit.🤣
