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 ✨❤️

Im 20 weeks now btw... how did this happen! Scan was good, perfectly average baby wiggling away :) x

Wow congrats @RW269 @KittyFantastica please god stickies for yee both..and all goes good over next few months...

@YouveGotAFastCar so sorry, I had positive was 11 days late got my positive, was very happy, then had bleed next days the was end that...was coming up on 6 weeks....was devasted as was all overthe shop...back to my practical self now so ttc gain...its very hard...I had 2awful sad weeks then I started to improve ....more myself now...
@RaineyNina its very hard line it all up...but try trsut the process...I got a positive after long saint of trying...then last month was disappointed(tried ttc straight after bleeding stopped) but negative test got AF just as well as my period is tracked so now im back on cd 7 so I'm going to dtd cd 9, 11 , 13 and 15 and that's what worked the month when we actually got our positive I record everything and I do ovulation stick...
But month it worked that's what we did dtd 4 times and cd 13 wasn't a great effort as I didn't think much actually got it (sorry tmi)....and I think we ovulated cd 14 but that was my lucky month i had literally guv6en up in my little head( i wasworn out and so sick of the whole fevking ttc mark) ...so I'm taking a back seat doing it the 4 times a month...thats it...
My hubby can't do every day..gets tired fustrated one month we did it every day from cd 9 to 16 and didn't work....so every second day it is...

Best luck to all...

I'm so sorry @YouveGotAFastCar, the grief is so harsh and nature can be so cruel. I hope you manage to take some time for yourself, treat yourself kindly and reach out to any support you have close by if you need to.

Thanks everyone. I'm still reeling and it's as though I can't believe it's real after everything we've been through this year. We'll see what happens over the next week or so.

So glad to hear your wiggling little baby is doing well @ButterflySkies ❤️

Aww congratulations @RW269 and @KittyFantastica thats great news..
I had some spotting yesterday but luckily nothing this morning. I called in but the hospital just said monitor it. I'm 7 weeks today. Who knew being pregnant was so stressful. Xx fingers crossed for you both. X

@Racket81 im sitting here nearly 21 weeks now and have had so much spotting and a couple of big bleeds - dont panic lovely! It can be ok 😊 xx

Aww thank you. Yes nothing this morning so rhays good. Although my boss has shingles so I am goimg to work at the other setting we are a group of children's nursery so easily solved but annoying.

@ButterflySkies I can’t believe you’re 20 weeks already! Halfway there! wow!
how are you feeling lately? How are you getting on with baby purchases? :) so many cute things!

@YouveGotAFastCar I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time sending all the love!

@KittyFantastica how are you getting on? Still so happy at your news!

@Racket81 7 weeks how exciting! Glad your spotting has stopped ! :)

Fingers crossed for continued good signs @Racket81!

I'm doing okay, thank you @RW269, just still in shock. How are you doing? Any symptoms?

I called EPU yesterday as they said to call back if I got pregnant again and they'd do me an early reassurance scan. The midwife was shocked when I told her the dates, she didn't seem to think it possible - I don't think they see a lot of people claiming to have ovulated on CD9 to then get a BFP at 9DPO!

She did say she suspects that I wasn't having periods, just intermittent bleeds because the hormones were obviously not back to normal. I've worried myself silly with all the reading I've done about early ovulation and immature egg being released. I feel so guilty, like we should have used protection until I was 100% certain my cycle was back to normal, but I thought it was getting that way. In my head there's no way it can end well, but my tests are progressing the best I've ever seen so all we can do is hope it's a miracle.

@KittyFantastica that’s so good to hear! Have they booked you in for an early scan? That’ll hopefully be a big relief! I think over reading can do us all so badly we end up over analysing everything!

I'm uncertain at the moment, my line tests aren’t getting any darker, I’ve got about 15 positive tests (dye ones) but all very light so I’m just so fearful at the moment. Got an early scan booked for 21st 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@KittyFantastica im really hopful for u...cant go through all this pain for no happy outcome...so really hope this is the good that's come from all your heartbreak! Keep the faith and let us know how scan goes...im hoping it goes well.

Feeling absolutely heartbroken. Days of positive tests, started getting really bad cramping in the night and have started spotting pink blood. Done a test this morning and it’s more faint this morning than yesterday. I don’t like where this is likely heading 😢

Thank you @Noisinmaro ❤️

How many DPO are you now @RW269? I know this heartache so well and I'm so sorry you're in a bit of a limbo. I have every finger and toe crossed for you for a happy outcome, I'm willing it so hard. How are you feeling at the moment?

@KittyFantastica about 18 dpo, my hearts hurting so much. The pain of the cramps and im now heavily bleeding, not feeling very positive about it :(
how are you doing?

@RW269 so sorry you are left in limbo and going through this. Fingers crossed for you. X

@RW269 Oh lovely, I know how much it hurts. It feels like a betrayal from inside out. Take a paracetamol, have a nice warm drink and try to give it some time. I know the waiting is so, so hard.

@RW269 oh lovely. My heart is hurting for you. It's absolutely horrible. Im really really hoping it's not what you're worried it is and it settles down. Can you take tomorrow off work and get all comfy and cosy? Got everything crossed for you. Sending so much love xxxx

Thank you guys ♥️
Had some paracetamol and a hot chocolate and cuddled up with my dog all day with the worlds cheesiest movies.
Yeah, I’ve spoke to manager about what’s happening in the end cause I’m just a ball of spontaneous tears at the moment and she’s been very kind and rotad me off the rest of the week.
Hope you’re all doing okay and everyone’s plodding along nicely ♥️ xxx

Just updating yous I have lost it, took an early digital test this morning that was coming up positive days ago repeatedly is now showing not pregnant :( xx

@RW269 oh lovely, im so sorry. I want to give you a massive cuddle. It is the absolute worst feeling in the world. I had two losses before this pregnancy and it's so horrendous. I remember the first just feeling absolutely helpless and wanting the bleeding just to stop, so we could get on with the next cycle. Be really kind to yourself, I'm pleased you're not working lovely. Snuggle up and feel everything you're feeling. Get some yummy food in and look after you. Always here if you want a chat love xxxx

I'm so sorry and so sad to see this @RW269, I'm heartbroken for you. This whole journey is so full of exceptional highs and debilitating lows.

Let yourself feel all you need to feel and give yourself time. I'm glad you're off work; take this time to focus on you and don't rush yourself. We're here if you need us, lovely.

Oh I'm so sorry @RW269 iys just heartbreaking isn't it. Give ypurself some well needed time to digest it all..thinking of you. X

Just wanted to let you know I've been thinking about you @RW269. Hope you're being well looked after love.

Thanks you three 🩷
I’ve had a week of tears, cups of tea and about 50 films but I’m starting to pick myself up again now, still sad thinking about it but it’s going to happen just got to keep believing that!

Hope you’re all doing okay! 🩷

Ladies I went for a early scan today 8+4 to be told the baby died at 6 weeks. I've had no bleeding so theybare hoping I will miscarry naturally within a week of not booked in to habe the induction of miscarrage next Friday. Very sad but I'm ok just want to het this over with and move on. 3rd time lucky here's hoping. X

Oh @RW269 and @Racket81, I'm so sorry.

@RW269 Ive had the same as you this cycle. It hurts so much, doesn’t it. Mine was a fortnight ago now. Waiting for ovulation day again.., it’s already later than last month but hopefully will be soon. It is really hard to think about, but I’ve stopped crying now; thankfully. I’m still sad but also a bit hopeful and feel less destroyed.

@Racket81 I can’t imagine how that must feel; but I’m really sorry and I hope this is over for you soon x
