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 ✨❤️

@Mrshaitchxo It's hard to stay positive sometimes isn't it. I've had a very teary evening about it all too.

Just know you're not alone in it and we're all here to vent to/have a chat with. Virtual hugs included. 💐

@Mrshaitchxo Totally understand how you feel, also been there so many times especially when it seems everyone is pregnant. Go easy on yourself, sending hugs.

@RW269 I can deffo see a line.

Hi everyone - joining as I think I'm 1DPO today.
Though not sure as had a MC mid January.
My CB OPK said I peaked this week but we only DTD once so definitely not holding out any hope.
Good luck everyone 🤞

Defo see a line 😀

That definitely looks positive to me! 🙏🏻

@RWSS looks positive to me lovely!

@Mrshaitchxo is completely completely get how you feel. It's such an up and down of emotions isn't it. You are absolutely allowed to feel like that - I'm really struggling too around babies and baby chat or news, i think it's really normal when you're TTC and it's been a bit of a journey. Be really kind to yourself and you've got this lovely group for support when you need us xx

The whole cycle waiting just for two lines. Not exactly romantic this! Haha

I see it @RWSS! Tentative congrats, lovely!

Thanks everyone 🫶🏼

@RWSS I definitely see a line! ✨

@Mrshaitchxo so sorry you're struggling, it's hard when the announcements come. Sending hugs be kind to yourself.

@RWSS i can definitely see a line congratulations lovely

@RWSS congrats! That definitely looks like a line!

How is everyone holding up? I’m feeling super impatient today, roll on 9-10 more days!

I've a question, I'm Cd6 so I'm going using the clear blue ovulation tests 4 day one, ive used them for one month so far, anyways I bought a new pack but do I use the test stick from the previous pack, someone on a previous thread mentioned that....or do I use the fresh test stick included in my new pack...
Silly question I know..so sorry for the stupid question ..but if anyone can shed a light I'd be grateful...

@RW269 so impatient! Took DD for a mummy date to the cinema to distract myself, i dont think i can just be at home, even with jobs to do. I've been cooking and have noticed ive got a lower back pain/low tummy ache, you can imagine where my mind has gone - so we'll get busy tomorrow then work should get me to next weekend....! How are you lovely? Xxx

@ButterflySkies Awwh what did yous go to see? It’s so difficult isn’t it! I’ve ended up pulling out allll of my clothes today to have a clear through just to keep my mind at bay! At least we are slowly approaching the half way mark! Do you have much planned for tomorrow? :) xx

@RW269 we saw migration, I thought it was quite scary but she seemed to find it hilarious! oh good idea!! Thats on my list of things to do in the evening next week. I bet you feel better for it too!

Tomorrow i've decided we're going for breakfast, to the farm and then im doing a roast - definitely distracting myself 😂 How about you?

We need solid plans next weekend - that's when temptation is going to be high to test - at the moment it's wide open, eeeek!! Xx

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking this on this thread. I think I ovulate early. I've been useing cheap OPKs from amazon this month. I started them on CD9 and that was the strongest line yet but I still wouldn't say completely positive. Since then they have gotten weaker and today CD14 and it was weakest one yet. I take them at the same time every day at 7pm after 4 hour hold and no drinks. I'm kinda hoping I did ovulate early as my husband is away for the weekend so we DTD early and hoped for the best. Is it normal to ovulate on CD9?

@Choc29 i think everyone is different do you have a photo of the line progression?

@Anonxo unfortunately not. I've just been putting them in the bin. I also always have 28 day cycles.

@Choc29 are these the ‘easy@home’ tests? There is an app called premom which photos them for you and evaluates them and then predicts ovulation. It is free but as always there is a premium tier that you can sign up for which gives extra analysis. If for whatever reason this isn’t your month you could use it next cycle?

you may have had a rapid increase in LH and testing once a day didn’t catch the peak. However if you are usually 28 days, then does sound a bit early but cycles can change!

I think it’s showtime for me. I am on CD10, have my cycle data in two apps and one thinks ovulation will be on CD14 and other on CD16. First time tracking BBT and OPKs.

Have some (other) fun things planned this week too, so trying to stay upbeat and relaxed. Best of luck to everyone 💞

@CoolSummer89 thanks I'll have a look at the app. I'm useing MomMed tests from amazon, I think they are simular to easy at home. I'm wondering if I'm testing at the wrong time of the day but it's hard to test around work. X

@Choc29 i think you are testing at exactly the right time, and also good that your testing at same time for consistency. They say it should be between 10am and 8pm. Not in the morning as the hormone builds up during the day. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you

@CoolSummer89 thankyou so mutch. I've just downloaded the app and it's brilliant according to it it says tomorrow is most likely the peak and I've managed to log some symptoms and it matches up. I will try again tomorrow and see if it looks better.

@ButterflySkies definitely felt much better after a clear out! Ooooh that sounds like a perfect Sunday! That’ll keep you busy from start to finish! Hope your roasts nice. I’ve been entertained tonight went for my Italian, my favourite restaurant…sat down and the waiter guessed my entire order…correctly! I don’t know if he’s trying to hint I’m there too often to too predictable 😂
yes! We both need so many plans next weekend for sure! Got any ideas? Xx

I’m feeling fed up! I’ve a feeling I’m not even ovulating.
im using ovulation sticks from Boots but last month I only had faint lines and so far since period last weekend, no lines.
im also on a 21 day cycle which makes me think I’ve no hope 😭
