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 ✨❤️

Absolutely devastated. I was so sure I was going to get a positive result this month, but I’m bleeding heavily 😭

So sorry 😔 I hope you're able to get your positive on your next cycle 🤞🏼

Had my bloods taken yesterday as my lines don't seem to be progressing at all, I know you should ideally stick to one brand but had positives on Clear Blue Ultra Early Digitals, then the faintest of squinters but most easily seen after 3 minutes.

Close up - 14DPO pm

Will let you know what the bloods come back as.

I have sore nipples and feel nauseous. I’ve also had quite a bit of cramps/pain on and off. I had a mc so not sure if it’s still to do with that but did have negative after mc in 5 days and ovulated.

Update: bloods have come back at 2.6mIU despite the positives and then fainter tests.

I'm having my first chemical 😔

@babycandy so sorry to hear this, me too AF arrived this morning. Sending you so much baby dust, luck and a massive fingers crossed for March for you 🤞🏼🩷

@UKMummy2one i am so sorry to hear this, I’m sending you virtual hugs and lots of love. Be kind to yourself, TTC is cruel 😞 xx

@babycandy I’m sorry. I’ve felt really positive this month too, so I know the feeling.

@UKMummy2one Oh I’m sorry. I’m glad they got the results back to you so quickly, but that feels brutal.

My fingers are crossed for you both in March - and you, @MilkyAndFluffy.

Thanks @piechipsgravy! I thought it was earlier than that.

12dpo today. Still negative on tests. Slightly more blood on wiping this morning but still not actually bleeding. Not due until Friday, though. Really hoping it’s implantation, but trying to prepare myself for the worst!

I don’t usually spot between periods; and my periods don’t usually start like this 🤞

@YouveGotAFastCar thank you lovely - i have a everything crossed this is implantation bleeding for you and you get your BFP this month!! Sending you baby dust - it sounds positive

I’ll be heading over to the March thread now, so massive good luck and baby dust to everyone else riding out their TWW - I hope you all get the BFP’s you deserve ❤️

@MilkyAndFluffy @YouveGotAFastCar thank you, bleeding has started this afternoon with bad cramps 😞

Wishing everyone all the best and will be trying to track my next cycle naturally, without using Letrozole as the consultant I booked in today with has confirmed I don't have many cycles left before I'm closer to the 12 maximum cycles of fertility drug help (turns out despite having a baby they count every cycle, not just consecutively so since 2018 I've had 3 failed - 1 successful = Baby followed by 4 unsuccessful)

Sorry to hear @UKMummy2one it’s tough. I’m glad you were able to receive medical care and advice. So often, we as women find that fertility isn’t discussed or cared for so I’m glad you had a quick result, even if wasn’t the one you wanted.

I’m now on CD37, 11DPO if I go by when I got the solid smiley. I had some light bleeding last week and been quite hungry today but no other symptoms. I took a test yesterday and it was BFN. My period would be due this weekend.

Sorry about your MC :(

I had so much cramping on previous days this last week, but I just feel like today it's all disappeared. Still early but not feeling much at all now.

Is this vvvvvfp. I'm 5 days late for AF and im never that late!! 2nd month TTC. Please tell me this could be something. I'm going crazy lol. Tested with afternoon urine. X

Sorry, @Choc29, I can see the line but there's no colour to it so I would say it's an indent. Best to test again tomorrow with first and/or second morning urine before tea/coffee/water.

Hey

just joining on to this thread.
im just very confused as to what’s going on with my body right now, wondering if anyone can help.

My typical cycle is around 36/37 days. I’m currently 18DPO and about 2 days late. I’ve taken a test yesterday and today after having some symptoms of pregnancy. Both days they’re very faint. Surely by this many days post ovulation, the line should be darker? If I was having a chemical pregnancy, would my symptoms just stop by now?

The symptom that actually made me check was gagging whilst brushing my teeth, now I’ve sore boobs and feeling ravenous and feeling a bit pressure on my lower tummy.

sorry if it’s a long post x

Following from above post, these are the tests. I feel they look a bit more prominent in person.
clear blue one yesterday and the other one today. Unfortunately both with second urine of the day.

Hi @smile94 from what I’ve read on here, it can take a bit of time for a strong line to develop for some women. Everyone is different. I don’t see anything on the clearblue test but I can see something faint on the other one. Worth re-testing this weekend with the same brand and first thing in the morning!

So AF due today. Nonsign atm but tested with dirt response and stark white so I guess I'm out again. On to cycle 54. X

Aw @Racket81 I'm sorry.

Due tomorrow here, although I had the tiniest amount of pink spotting on Tues/Weds so I was hoping that was late implantation bleeding. I'm 14dpo today and easy@home tests are still stark white.

It's tough. I really feel for you. I hope the next cycle is yours x

Got faint yesterday and digital confirmed today! 11dpo

Thanks @YouveGotAFastCar and congrats@NavySwan .

Just had some accupuncture this evening. I'm gonna be starting Chinese herbs for this next cycle as my acupuncturist says I'm regular cycle regular ovulation no signs of any infertility just a numbers game so tcrank everything up as much as we can. She feels optimistic I wish I felt as possative as her.

That’s brilliant news

@Racket81
what Chinese herbs do you plan on using? If you don’t mind sharing? Need all the support I can get after so long of TTC ✨🙏

@ButterflySkies @KittyFantastica how are yous getting along? Was thinking about yous earlier hope alls going good! Xx

@x1cvv I'm not sure yet I have to have a zoom meeting with the woman as she in Weymouth then she will talk to my acupuncturist amd decide what I need then send them to me.
I will let you know. Its gonna be between 50 amd 100 quid thays all I know.
