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!

@Midnight00 @Lavenderrose92 welcome to the thread ☺️

@Lavenderrose92 I used a fertility cup this month so i’ll let you know how I get on!

Happy Birthday! 🎉🥳🍾

If you’re getting EWCM and a flashy smiley then my guess would be you’d ovulate in the next 2-3 days? But obviously everyone is different. I’d say keep tracking but just enjoy your birthday and see how things progress ☺️

5DPO for me today… I just woke up after having a dream that I got my BFP which has made me feel sooo emotional this morning. It was so vivid!

Interestingly I stopped taking Proceive supplements this month because I heard it causes sore boobs in luteal phase and magically my boobs don’t hurt this cycle yet at all! They were hurting from 1DPO all the way through to AF, so i’m really glad I stopped taking them. I’m sure everyone reacts differently to supplements though.

@Kateb149 Omg for real?!! I had the EXACT same dream this night! That I got my BFP and got all happy and stuff 🫣

That’s crazy! Our minds definitely know what they want don’t they 😂 it is so hard waking up after those dreams isn’t it. I wanted to fall back asleep and carry on feeling all happy 😅

Thank you, that’s good to know I’ll keep tracking but feel I can take the reins off abit now! Xx

Vivid dreams might be a good sign! X

Here’s hoping 🤞😅 x

I'm freaking out a bit this morning, I still haven't ovulated, cd15 today which is late for me, I have a spa day booked today for my husbands birthday and afraid he is going to fry all of his sperm? So I won't be able to hit ovulation in the next few days if it happens. (I have flashy on the clear blue).

I panicked about this in Dec when we went to a spa day but honestly try not to worry and just enjoy it. I did my typical mumsnet research and found that people who owned hot tubs (which the DH used regularly) still managed to get their BFP! That being said, I think regular use should be avoided but a spa break shouldn’t do any harm x

Hi ladies late to the party but joining in, Jan was cycle one trying for our first, I have regular 28 day cycle since coil out in November but have not tracked ovulation with OPK but do get ewcm / cramps mid month.
AF due on Tuesday, stark white negative test this morning so fairly sure I’m now in the Feb camp!

I think a spa break is totally totally fine, if you're worried just keep the time in sauna/steam room/hot tub to like 10 minutes and then let body temp come down so it's not like consistently at a really high temp maybe?

I had EWCM yesterday and dtd but now partner is off on his trip! He's back Monday evening so hoping that we won't miss the window completely 🙃. It's such an emotional thing isn't it!

Just catching up on the thread. Sorry to hear about low moods / feeling emotional @littlefox90 I've had the same thing this week with AF - I think this is the hardest part of the cycle mood wise as you've just had a negative and then AF arrives and makes you feel miserable anyway. I'm on cd5 now so think we are at the same point. This is when the optimism starts coming back that we can try again next week! I hope the same for you.
@Kateb149 @BerrieSweet BFP dreams are the strangest! I hate them as it messes with my mind.
After all the chat about BD strategies I dreamt we had to do it in the middle of the night as that was our only one option 😅 so that's where my mind is! made me lol when I woke up at least!!

TWW has officially begun my LH strip back to negative after two days of very dark lines so im guessing i ovulated yesterday . I am test addict so will probably start testing on 7dpo 🙈 does anyone else prefer having disappointment of early tests with potential of being supprised than waiting full 2 weeks to test and being disappointed at end of it anyway? X

Also on the spa thing I've read mixed things - I have a sauna at my gym I like to go in and wonder sometimes if I shouldn't but figured if I just do 5/10 mins and don't overheat it's ok? It's hard as it's rubbish stopping everything you enjoy when the TTC cycle goes on a long time. I'm not sure about men though... I have told my DH off previously for having a hot water bottle on his lap though!!

My Letrozole cycle hasn’t worked so I’m now just waiting for a period. At my scan last week the 2 follicles hadn’t grown at all and there were other smaller ones. I was rescanned 2 days later and the same so I didn’t respond properly. We are saving for ivf now.

I wish everyone the best of luck I hope this is a lucky thread for you all with lots of bfps

Got my first smiley today on day 13

I’m so sorry to hear the Letrozole was unsuccessful 😕 wishing you all the best and take care of yourself ❤️

Morning everyone.
Still in a little bubble since our positive. Think I'm in a dream. I do have a concern though or is this me just overthinking?
My symptoms aren't constant, most of the time I feel fine. However I do get the nausea and the tiredness and backache but it comes and goes in waves. Feel like I should feel more pregnant but I'm only about 3 weeks

If you’ve got EWCM that should keep the swimmers safe until you ovulate ☺️ hopefully you can catch it on Monday too! 🤞

@Floralcat yes i’m with you, I wish I could test already and i’m only 5DPO 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@Room4onemore congrats on getting your smiley! ☺️

@ttcjourney20001 that sounds completely normal! But I feel your worry! I'd be the same xx

@Kateb149 we Dtd last night so hopefully I hit the right time! Will try and do it tonight and tomorrow if possible. My Premom tests are still at 0.3 though so I’m confused

Almost feel as though it's too good to be true. Not having symptoms all the time, starting to think is this even real. In a weird space at the moment. Trying not to worry but after 3 years of trying, 1 loss and 1 year since the loss I'm trying to keep as positive as I can

I remember early pregnancy as swinging between feeling shit and wanting to feel fine and then feeling fine and worrying that I don't feel shit 😂 so that sounds right to me!! Also feeling like until you've had a scan you don't actually quite believe it's happening!
