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 ✨❤️

I see them both @Sunandsea13 and @Phinie! So excited for you :)

@KittyFantastica thank you so much! I am trying to keep it together until I get a positive on a clear below digital but it is so hard!

@SlinkMcSlink @Anonxo can I join too? I am DPO1 but fresh off a miscarriage so hoping my body is ready for it! We managed to DTD 3 times so far so hopefully managed to hit it. It took us a year to conceive last time though 😫

Hi all I’m 5 dpo today. Ovulated on day 14 confirmed with opk’s and also charting, and managed to BD on days 11 and 12 as husband worked away last week. Hoping we are in with a chance 🤞🏼. These dpo days are looooooong

I see them too @Sunandsea13 @Phinie 🩷

Im itching to test but it's only 7dpo 😂 pleased ive got two super early and long office days after today and @RW269 ive now filled up friday (going on a little day trip out with DD and friends) and Saturday (my SILs) so my itchy fingers should be busy enough to hold off until Monday! It's just really hard sitting at home doing what I'd call "busy work" rather than actual work! X

Congratulations to those of you with BFPs! I was sorely tempted to test this morning but found I only have two pink dye tests left, so I’ll save them for the weekend or early next week, depending on how things go.

I’m 9DPO today, no sign of any implantation bleeding which I had last time, but feeling some nausea on and off, plus sore/full boobs, especially on the right hand side. Fingers crossed for those of you also still waiting to test x

@ButterflySkies oooh lovely glad you’ve got some plans in place to keep you busy! Are you going somewhere nice for your day out? I have an empty day end of the week I need to get something planned!
Feeling really disheartened today, I have no idea why like it’s a whole week until AF due but I woke up in the mindset of “I don’t feel pregnant it must not have happened” even though logically my heads talking rubbish 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 roll on next week!! Xx

@SlinkMcSlink I am. Not entirely sure how many days but its about 1/2. In my TWW now. X

I can't believe how much this wait is messing with me. Before we started TTC, I visited a few different places around the internet to help build an idea of what we might need to do to maximise our chances, but I always felt there was no point in obsessing and just doing the deed at the time of ovulation and then doing nothing until a period either arrives or doesn't arrive.

Of course, past me is a fool. I can't seem to think about anything else. If I have a weird dream or have to get up at 3am to pee I find myself desperate to think it's a symptom. If I have one tiny belly ache for 30 seconds, I get hopefully.

I am kidding myself because I've no symptoms whatsoever. I even did an ovulation stick test today because when I got my BFP last month before the chemical I accidentally did an ovulation test first and the line was dark. I wondered if I might be able to see an early indicator on the ovulation strip like last time and there was barely a line there. Send help 🤣

How are all our other 7DPOers doing?

@KittyFantastica I'm exactly the same this month, every little twinge I'm asking myself 'is this a symptom?!' I don't know what's different about this month for me as for the past 3/4 I've been very good at just getting on with my life and waiting until AF shows, no major symptom spotting and no testing (because I was wasting so much money!) but for some reason I've stupidly got it in my head that this is our lucky month?🤷🏼‍♀️

Driving myself mad, that's for sure. I'm 5dpo today according to Premom... give me strength 😂😂

Oh my god the wait is just awful! I have swollen glands today and I’m like “could this be a symptom or am I ill?” 😂

Not sure if we’ll be successful this month. We were on holiday last week and I forgot the CB test reader! I had some light spotting early on in the week (CD13 and 14) so thought maybe it’s ovulation and we DTD every day bar two even though the cheapie ovulation tests I brought didn’t show a peak. Who knows!

Back in the UK now and keep getting blank circles on the Clearblue tests even though Flo says I’m ovulating on Thursday (CD24). we may have caught it, we may not have

Anybody know when to take a CB digital ultra early? How many DPO?

Currently 5dpo & like many of you the tww feels like it’s dragging. I usually just wait for my AF so I’m hoping I can hold out. Hoping the days fly by & there are more BFP’s to come 🙏

I took a clearblue ultra early digital on 11DPO which came back positive

@journeytomum thank you! Had you tried to take one before then too or was that the first time?

Hello looking to join! My cycle is typically all over the place so never know if ovulated or not (joys of pcos).

I've been using the opks but hard to read as LH always looks high so also kept an eye out for EWCM this month. Suspected I had ovulated around 20 Jan (CD23) or 28 Jan (CD31). I'm now on CD40 and tested negative with an ultra early test so suspect I am probably out for this month.
Waiting on period to arrive is annoying, no signs yet.

This was our first month trying to conceive, easy to see how this can become all consuming!

@Choc29 When are you going to test?

@FullMoon1917 sorry to hear that but hopefully this time works out happy to do your tww with you . How are you feeling ?

Hi @SlinkMcSlink and @Choc29 will shortly be joining you for the TWW. According to the apps my O day is today. Was expecting O to be tomorrow, so we DTD yesterday and was going to do tomorrow. Still might for luck!

Premom recommends doing a test on DPO11 which is my DH's birthday. Obviously if it's positive it would be a lovely occasion but if it's negative might be extra sad.

Got to find something to preoccupy myself in the meantime!

@Anonxo thank you. I feel great actually! Having my first ovulation in 4 months means I feel like a superhero 🤣 so insane what hormones can do! I am hopeful but i definitely need to distract myself!!!

I have officially lost my mind today - get me to the office and onto busy weekend plans!

Convinced i was pregnant and have also convinced myself im going mad with symptom spotting and ive definitely not fallen this month, about 100 times today give or take 😂

Stupidly kept using OPKs and got slightly higher readings sunday and monday so wondering if i did ovulate when i think i did - and hubby is down with man flu so DTD is deffo off the cards - so im currently convinced this just isnt going be our month.

Probably be hopeful again by bedtime but I am incredibly grateful for a busy few days to occupy my mind! And keep me away from the tests that arrived... xx

Well, AF has just barely started this evening so no doubt will be in full force tomorrow morning, and that means I am officially out. Roll on cycle 19 😐
Good luck to everyone else out there with positive OPKs and faint lines 🤞

9dpo for me girls and a negative test .. should i still be hopeful? AFpains and due in 5 days ! only my second month TTC and i’m 31 years old!

Hi all, I'm CD6 now and still getting cramps, the odd shooting pain in my boobs and brown discharge. I'm not worried about the discharge but I wouldn't normally have cramps or breast pain at this stage. I feel like I'm making myself anxious and that it's a sign that there's something wrong with my cycles so I won't be able to conceive. Does anyone else have cramps/boob pain when your period is coming to an end?

Had some lovely news this morning 🥹
