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 ✨❤️

So deeply sorry for you loss xx

So sorry for your loss @KittyFantastica sending big hugs xxx❤️

So update on my positive at 7dpo. I tested again 8 and 9 hoping to see progression but they were clear negatives. I'm due on tomorrow so I'm not going to test again unless I miraculously end up late and even then I'll wait three days to test. I have clockwork periods but I don't see the point in testing again unless there is a reason. Feel so sad to be out as we were trying for 18 months when I fell pregnant in Oct. I had no feeling I was gonna miscarry it was so sudden. I think I have to accept that fact I'm not going to fall pregnant again. It's so disheartening. GP won't help us as we have a child already who's 3. We tested my partners sperms and it's all perfect. So the problem is me but I take such good care of myself and my health that I just don't understand why it's not happening. Sorry for the rant.

@Risingsun93 so sorry to hear that :( have you had any progress since you posted? Sending lots of love your way!

@ButterflySkies how’s it going?! Hope all is well and plodding along!

Oh @KittyFantastica im so so sorry for you lovely!!! Sending so much love and a huge hand hold xxx

@RW269 how are you doing?? Been thinking of you lovely!!

I'm doing ok thank you - I'm in the full swing of symptoms atm... threw up in the shower thus morning and am very uncharacteristically angry at the world (nearly shouted at a poor teenager painting their nails on the train this morning 😂). Have a reassurance scan on Thursday so keeping everything crossed!! Will let you know how it goes. Mindful of how hard it is when you're trying so I won't post much!

Thinking of those of you lovelies going into the TTW - sending baby dust and hoping you get your sticky beans this month!! Xxx

That’s so funny getting angry at the teenager 😂 to be fair the smell of nail varnish that enclosed could make anyone feel nauseous!
Awwh lovely got everything crossed for your scan Thursday! Definitely update us all is well! ☺️ true, but it’s also lovely to see it happen for people who have been along for the ride haha!

@KittyFantastica sorry to read your news.

Having reached CD44 today and still no AF and no positive test (usually 28-33 cycles), I've phoned the doctors. Got a call back tomorrow pm to discuss. I assume they'll do bloods to check me out, and presume I'll be trying again later on the month. But overall a rubbish start to TTC this year, COVID in Jan and now this in Feb. Hoping things improve in future attempts.

Guys, I think I am going mad.
Today is the day of my missed period. All the mommed style tests have been negative.
Today I got this on a CB. 20 min after testing. Could it be? Or is this an evap? There was something about 5 min after testing but too faint to be sure. The pic is 20-30 min after (I was doing the breakfast dishes lol and glances down before going to toss it away). There is a SLIGHT tinge of blue to the line also.

@RW269 had a scan and there's a little strong bean in there! Measuring a bit behind but i did with DD and she caught up so not too worried about that.

I have got a "non-insignificant" internal bleed though, and actually have had some spots of bright red blood in the last day or so. They were quite relaxed, recommended getting in touch with the midwives and telling them the measurements of the bleed to see if they want to scan and i need to get seen if it becomes more than spotting. They said they it would likely be to ensure my well being than baby's though, which I took some comfort from... trying to forget the google spiral ive just gone down and hoping for the best!

The path to baby two was destined not to be an easy one!

Hope you're getting on ok?? Xx

@ButterflySkies so glad you’ve had your scan and it’s holding on in there!
oh absolutely that’ll likely just be to reassure you and keep your stress levels down! My SIl is about 30 weeks now and she had a bleed 5 weeks in and it’s not effected it long term :)
how exciting, won’t be long till your next official nhs one is it? Hope little bean keeps growing strong!!

Well, I was so calm and collected this month, then this morning I took a test and was in a rush getting out the bathroom so didn’t leave it the full time, went back an hour later and was like ahh I forgot to look after the morning rush of husband going to work etc and it was positive 🤦🏻‍♀️but I don’t know how long it took it to turn positive, took another one but cause I’d not long been to the bathroom and been drinking loads of water I didn’t expect it to show so it was negative so now I’m like holding onto this hope and waiting patiently to test again tomorrow morning / Saturday 🤦🏻‍♀️checked on old ones from the last couple days in the bin and none of them have any evap pink lines or anything so I’m hopeful but nervous to get excited 😂xx

@RW269 that's really reassuring thank you lovely!! Im sure these scans are never as reassuring as they should be! My nhs one is in mid April when in almost 14 weeks, feels like an absolute age away!! I'm hosting at Easter and touch wood this sticks, how I'm going to hide it I have no idea!

Eeeeeeeekkkkkk!! Oh I'm really hopeful for you - please keep me posted!! Sending baby dust and a big hand hold. When are you due? Get an early night to take your mind off it lovely xx

@ButterflySkies That’s soon going to come round though I bet it’ll feel ages! oh I do hope you’re not feeling nauseous when you’re hosting Easter! Please keep me updated I’m super excited for you!

Genuinely got so much crossed, currently sat in Asda car park whilst my husbands ran in to get some first responses so I’m ready for the next couple of mornings 😂 pulling out the big guns with the expensive tests hahaha! Due Sunday so got a couple of days hoping to get some positives continuing! 🤞🤞

Congratulations 🎊 such good news! Hope your feeling a bit more relaxed

Hi all, hope you're doing well.

I'm still mostly laying low for a bit as we've had quite the roller coaster these last few weeks. I went for my EPU scan to confirm blighted ovum yesterday and came out with a picture of a little baby with a heartbeat. Hubs and I are still in shock and, while the EPU seemed very happy, we are guarding our hearts still. I should, going by LH, have been 7+2 yesterday, and they measured baby as 6 weeks. I'm sure of my ovulation date, so there's no chance I ovulated late. I don't really know why it could be measuring so far behind, but I know it could go either way at this point. Obviously, we are hoping for the best but trying to keep ourselves prepared for the worst

I'm in a state of limbo now and have a follow up scan with EPU in two weeks time to see if there's still a heartbeat. I've still not had any particular symptoms to speak of except some bad cramping two weeks ago and some very, very mild nausea this week. I just wanted to update everyone as I've always found this thread so lovely and supportive ❤️ Wishing you all really well.

@KittyFantastica that news has genuinely made my day. I'm sorry that you've had such a rollercoaster of a journey but so thrilled there's still hope. Completely understand about wanting to stay guarded but the human body has definitely done weirder stuff!

Omg you’ve been through the rollercoaster! Hoping it’s good news again in two weeks and hopefully baby was just slow growing l!

@KittyFantastica that is fantastic news sending you lots of love xx

Oh wow @KittyFantastica that's mad. Great news..try take it for what it is and be positive....gosh, u have been through a lot...really hope it continues to thrive....

Awwwww @KittyFantastica that's amazing news!!! I'm so happy for you!! What a rollercoaster though lovely, you must be absolutely exhausted!! Genuinely thrilled for you and wishing you the best xxx

@RW269 how did the tests go this morning??? Xxx

Oh my goodness @KittyFantastica I am so thrilled for you what lovely news! Got everything crossed for healthy growing! Do keep us updated if you feel happy too! Very invested now haha !

@ButterflySkies I got a negative this morning but I only slept for 4 hours so I was a bit unsure if it was long enough tbh. Took another this evening again after drinking loads as I didn’t plan on taking one but it came back slightly squinty line but really faint and some other random lines joining in with it so who knows what that’s meant to be :( getting myself a little stressed with it to be honest, due AF Sunday so I’m thinking of testing tomorrow morning and then just seeing what happens Sunday. What a time! How are you feeling? Xx

Congrats @KittyFantastica 🥳🥳 that's brilliant.

Been MIA as had rotten cold. Only DTD once this month, the day before ovulation though as feeling rough. AF predicted on 14th. Good luck to you all :)

Congrats @ButterflySkies, wishing you well x

@KittyFantastica what fantastic news, so thrilled for you and long may it continue and grow into a happy healthy bouncing baby!

@RW269 did you test again this morning? I did a test when I hadnt been asleep long and it was negative so there's hope, an evening squinter is good news too!!

Thanks everyone, so nerve wracking im in bed with a fever (thanks for the germs DD!) so just trying to relax and stop myself from stressing! Xx
