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 ✨❤️

Good morning everyone. I am 10dpo today, took a test this morning (I have no idea what kind, or if it's a FRER, it's a test that came with the last batch of ovulation tests I ordered) and I thiiiink I see an incredibly faint line! I would post a picture but it's even less visible in pictures than it is in real life haha. Still wanted to share though. Let's hope it's not a hallucination!

Ahh how exciting @Phinie !!! Hoping the line progresses :) x

Well I'm around 13-14dpo and due on. I have an irregular cycle so I take my AF arrival predictions with a pinch of salt!

Tested negative on an internet cheapie, and decided to use the last clear blue early test in a fit of 'why not'. Got a very faint line within 3 mins so now I'm playing the 'indent or v weak positive' game while I'm meant to be working. What a laugh.

Hope everyone is doing ok 💐

@CLazz92 Fun, we're both playing the same game today! I hope it turns out to be a positive for you.

I need to keep telling myself now that testing 5,000 more times today is pointless, the line is not likely to suddenly be stronger this afternoon. We'll see if I can resist.

@Phinie and @CLazz92 this sounds so promising for both of you. Maybe try first thing in the morning in a couple of days and things will be more pronounced! Hopefully something comes up that will keep your mind occupied in that time.

A different kind of positive for me, just got my first positive OPK (first cycle tracking). Feeling a bit giddy at it all 😊

Oooh fingers crossed.
For reference this is what a FRER looks like. If I were you I'd get one of these to try tomorrow with FMU ☺️

Sounds promising ladies!!! Fingers crossed for you! Clearblue are so rubbish @CLazz92. Ive had some corkers of evaps on them. I know its hard but id bin it and not look at it again and test again in two days, you can drive yourself mad looking at them! i mean with my track record id be testing tomorrow but it is better to wait...

I have - in a moment of madness - ordered some tests. Im going to ask hubby to hide them when they arrive. More cramping today, tingly boobs and i feel a bit queasy BUT I am quick a sickie/dizzy person generally so I'm reading anything into it.

How much difference does the sunshine make btw? Feeling quite positive today! Xx

@Phinie & @CLazz92 got everything crossed for the both of you !!

Thanks all ☺️

Pretty convinced it's an indent. Threw it out after going cross eyed squinting at it. I haven't got any more tests now so I'm holding out for a while. I'm sure AF will arrive with vengeance within the next couple of days. If she doesn't by the end of the week then I'll shell out for more tests. Dread to think how much I've spent on tests over the past 18 cycles...

@Phinie sending lots of good luck. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞

@CoolSummer89 super exciting about your positive OPK! Happy for you ☺️

TWW started for me. I'm not holding out too mutch hope as my husband was away at a stag do during me peek days 🙄. We DTD early on CD9 and CD11 and one last time today for luck CD16. Think I peaked CD13 but my OPKs were not very conclusive. Xxx

Ah that’s annoying that he was away for your peak. Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you anyway. And if it isn’t your month then you will have more of a handle on tracking next month

@CoolSummer89 thankyou so mutch. I've gotten so many tips from here so I'm already feeling more positive about next month.

Everyone else seems to be a bit further along in their cycle. Anyone else 1/2 dpo? Got to keep busy!

Not yet as only just finished my period today so starting tomorrow myself not sure if anyone else is just starting as well, but seems a lot of people have carried over from last month's group

wishing you the best of luck though

@SnKcampbell we’re at a similar point 😊

Hi, ah nice to meet a fellow possible starting buddy hehe, my sister was giving me some advice and said to start trying from the day your period ends as I'm not tracking yet as still Newley trying so planning to do the deed every 4 days from tomorrow until 24th Feb to cover lots of dates hehe, as my period is predicted 29th Feb but I have had 26 to 32 day cycles before

Hi not been on here for a few days as was at beginning of cycle and trying not to obsess and stay relaxed. Who we kidding. So I'm cd 13 due ovulation any day. We have dtd every other day so far. I have some accupuncture again tonight. Strongly I had some blood stained cm 4 days after my period finished which is a first for me not sure what thay was but I have had flu last week and still full of cold atm and was day after I had some accupunture too so maybe it's something to do with that. Haven't had anymore though.. hope to see some bfps soon.

Finally got my peak but DH is super stressed with work - how do I make sure we DTD before it's too late?! 🙄

Hi everyone! Please may I borrow your eyes to take a look at this? Normally these come up stark white but this morning within the time window it’s come up with a faint line. Please take a look if you have time, thank you! So praying this sticks!

@Sunandsea13 I can just about see the line. How many dpo are you?

@Racket81 I think I am 9DPO. Had an ultrasound last Monday and I saw a corpus luteum so I am taking the Sunday as the ovulation day as I have PCOS and long cycles. Thank you!

@Sunandsea13 I definitely see something!

Thank you for crossing your fingers for me you guys! Today’s test (at 11dpo) definitely has a line. You can almost see it in pictures too

Ahh some exciting news coming through on this thread!! ❤

I bought some ovulation sticks on Saturday impulsively and tested - I got a super super light line but I was meant to be ovulating on Friday/Saturday. Tested again Sunday and yesterday, line got fainter and has now gone. I think I missed my peak and it was on Thursday/Friday instead (CD11).

Luckily we DTD on CD8 but I think we missed the boat this month!! However I've had a couple of really bad headaches and some nausea in the morning - which is really unlike me but also super super early (poss 5-7 DPO???). Obviously over thinking everything at this point... argh!! 😆

This is what it looks like after drying up… haha I’m so obsessed with looking at it
