February TTC Support Group

[Kateb149]

Hi all ☺️ I am now starting Cycle 6 TTC baby number one. I know some of us on January thread said it would be good to set up a Feb thread so thought i’d start it.

I should be ovulating around 17-18th so will be testing on 1st Feb!

Yes, I’m the holiday chat I think it’s probably not sensible to put life on hold. I expect it would only feel worse to get to that point and if you’re not pregnant feel like you’ve missed these things for no good reason.

we went to Barcelona when I was 6m preg last time and it was a great holiday. Also went camping at 36 weeks which was perhaps slightly less sensible 😂

out October holiday is a resort so as long as they let me fly I think we’d go irrespective of pregnancy (or lack thereof)

@squishousdelicious maybe there's hope I can do both then!!
Exciting to move house 🏠

Can't wait to move! We have to wait until April to do anything because of our currentnmortgage conditions, but I'm looking forward to having a different house.

Not so much having to find a new job, potentially 😬

Hi can I join? Jumping on from the January thread. AF finally arrived today after seven days late. Glad to be staring a new cycle. TTC #2 cycle 3.

joining from jan too.

has anyone had success using a fertility cup?

I'm definitely out for this month I know it as I lost a friend so I wasn't in the mood to BD over ovulation days! So next month I ovulate on Valentine's Day 😂anyone else? Looks like we are having a fun valentines 🙈

Welcome @Midnight00 and @Lavenderrose92 there's a few of us here early on in this cycle
Sorry I can't help on the fertility cup!

Been in such a crappy mood the last few days (pretty much since AF arrived) thought about giving up TTC although it's only been 4 cycles, will be my 5th now. Then was talking to DH and got all teary as last pregnancy that resulted in MMC would have been due beginning of Jan so I think thats probably been what's been up 😩

What cycle of TTC is everyone on now?

I'm so confused. So last 4-5 tracked cycles I have ovulated cd12-13. Today is cd14 and still no peak. I've had 3 flashy smileys on the ovulation tests.
I had acupuncture last Saturday and I'm wondering if if that can cause this? She was trying to length my cycle slightly as it has dropped to 24 days from 27. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not sure about the acupuncture but looking back through mine one is CD19 two are CD21 and one is CD 30 so maybe they can change a little? I'm pretty new to it too, I've been tracking for 4 cycles.

I'm so sorry🥹❤️ Big hugs to you ❤️

I'm having such an emotional evening 🥹 The longing for a pregnancy and a little baby is so strong. Some days are harder, I'm sure you all can relate. I'm thinking about how dissapointed I'll be if this isn't our cycle :/ I'm so glad I found this group of women going thru the same emotions❤️

@Lavenderrose92 i used the fertility lily cup when TTC my son. Have been using it for the last few months too. Avoids having to lie still after DTD so can't do any harm!

I think we can all probably sympathise. I was just thinking eariler I have been really positive this cycle after the absolute upset at the last failed cycle.
I'm
So worried it won't last for much longer and will all come crashing down again and I will have to feel that upset and disappointment all over again. It is so
Mentally tough isn't it! But we are women, we are strong 💪, we can do this!

@littlefox90 oh, I'm so sorry - I hard relate to this! This is only cycle 2 for us this time round, but it's 3 years this month that I miscarried and I found the TWW incredibly tough. Hoping that this cycle will be less problematic that way.

@carolinep3 You're so right! It's really a "mental rollercoaster" and I'm so glad that you're feeling good right now ❤️ Yes! We're strong women 💪🏼

Oh it's so so hard isn't it. Sending you a big hug!

I'm currently sat making a baby blanket for my friend, I have two friends who are expecting and conceived quickly and also someone at work so I feel surrounded by it at the moment.
Really hoping this will be our year 🤞🏻🤞🏻
It is so hard to keep hopeful and impossible not to stress. It does help to hear from other women though 💖💖 We've got this!

@Tia22 You're such a beautiful friend🥹 It must be joyfull but tough at the same time. Reading this made me hopeful and happy, 2025 is our year🤞🏼❤️

Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🥹
Trying my best, of course so so pleased for them all but it's hard isn't it!! Especially when you've been trying for so long. Like you say the longing is so strong
YES 2025 is our year!! Stay strong and be kind to yourself 💖💖

Sometimes I feel like the emotion roller coaster makes me a bit mad 🤣 I'm so glad to have you all to go through it with and share the emotions. DH is very supportive but doesn't understand the emotional up and downs each cycle as well as other women going through it.

2025 🤞

I'm actually not telling DH anything, he obviously knows we are trying for another child and have unprotected 🍆.
But that's it, he doesn't like the pressure of the tests and knowing about ovulation etc.
so it can bit quite lonely. I haven't even spoke to mum best friend about it but am tempted as it is quite a lovely place to be month after month!

SAME😭 Yes I think all of our DH is trying their best to be supportive but can't understand the emotional rollercoaster like we can! 2025🤞🏼❤️

My gets stressed too so I'm thinking I should mention it less 🤔 it's hard to though, can't help myself I'm a talker 😂

Completely agree with all of this!!

Sending positive vibes to everyone 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi Ladies, sorry I’ve been quiet, I do read your comments sometimes just find it hard to catch up and remember what’s been said to then reply! I am always wishing you well and had a little chuckle yesterday over some of the comments regarding the ‘leftovers’ 😂. I just wanted to update in case this helped anyone. So I’m CD15 today and yesterday had EWCM but not cramps as such, I’ve been testing quite a lot! But here are my progression lines using the Premom, however this morning tried the clear blue which I’ve used before and flashy smiley! Oh and it’s my birthday today! So a good sign maybe. ! I’m going to check Premom in a bit to see if that also increased now but just shows the difference in tests. Baby dust to you all! X
