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!

@ttcjourney20001 I feel you! Time feels so slow when you're at that point. Hang in there! I had two early losses before my DS in 2020 so I felt constantly anxious. I know I will be the same this time around too 🙈

I wouldn't worry. When we conceived DD1 she was conceived literally the week after we'd been to Budapest and spent time in their big spa!

We started ours yesterday!!! Although my LH is still dark on the strips lol

Sounds like you’re definitely DTD at the right time! That’s weird about the premom tests… although my LH goes up in the afternoon so might be worth retesting?

@Floralcat I would test at 7dpo, if will be a waste as you can't get any kind of positive until 8dpo. Implantation is 6-10 dpo ans it takes two days for your hcg to rise to show on any test.

@DaringlyDizzy if your LH is still dark and the same or the same as your control line you may not have ovulated yet?

I'm still getting flashy on my clear blue but not EWCM and CD15, normally ovulated cd13 so I'm concerned.

How old is everyone and how long have you been trying? I'm 33. I'm on 6DPO but I'm not confident this month as we missed the window by a few days

I missed the window last month so I really get it, how long have you been trying?🥰 I'm 23 and DH is 34, we're in our 2nd cycle trying for real and tracking everything. CD 13 and I haven't got my peak yet, only flashing smileys so ovulation is a bit late as I usually peak CD 11/12. I've been very stressed at work this week so I think that's why :/

@BerrieSweet it's only the first proper cycle tracking for us. So very early days! We had a baby boy in lockdown so it will be nice to actually do things with hubby this time! He couldn't come to any scans or appointments and I didn't get to do any baby classes or anything like that. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@BerrieSweet I keep getting the flashy smiley too, I only have one left! I'm going to have to go to boots tomorrow and buy a whole new kit to test 😩

I’m 32 and been TTC for 6 months now. Stupidly thought it would happen really quickly 😅 but trying to stay positive

Some months I have ovulated later than others… I think especially with it being Christmas last month, lifestyle things can change ovulation time (e.g. quality of sleep, business, alcohol consumption) etc so try not to worry. I’m sure it’ll come soon x

@carolinep3 ahhh i know that logically i just really cant stop myself 🤣

TWW is driving me nuts today 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I have zero PMS symptoms which is sooo weird for me and I have quite watery discharge (sorry if TMI!) which I also never usually get. Tricking myself into thinking I’m definitely pregnant even though I wouldn’t have even implanted yet 😅

How do you usually keep yourself distracted? I find it impossible sometimes!

I'm turning 31 very soon and we have been trying for 2 years now for our first.... 😭😭😭😭
We have had a lot of stresses in the past few years so keep thinking that might have affected it all but so worried and desperate to have a baby!!

Crossing everything for you, hopefully your vivid dream is first sign 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you ☺️ it’s either that or the dream is the start of my insanity 😂 x

@Kateb149 also crossing everything. I find planning stuff ahead helps and trying to tick stuff off my list I don't get round to normally like cleaning! Sounds dull but at least I then feel like I've done something with the time 🤷‍♀️
Really hoping your lack of pms symptoms is a good sign.
I'm getting impatient here for my window to start! Trying the clear blue OPKs this month but too early yet I think!

@Kateb149 Fingers crossed 🤞🏻. It's nice to be able to chat to other isn't it!

@Tia22 hang in there! It's so hard isn't it. First time around it consumed me and it's all I could think about 🙈. Trying not to be like that this time but I'm already watching the calendar non stop 😂. Stress has been known to play a part I think so hopefully this year is more peaceful for you ❤️

Thank you so much, hopefully 💖💖💖💖

Bless you, it's so so hard isn't it, just consumes you!!
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you the first time round?

That’s a good idea… i’m absolutely fine when I’m out and about but when I’m home all the overthinking starts 😅 i’ll have to do a full clean of the house tomorrow or something!

It is always hard when you’re waiting for peak day. Are you expecting it to come soon?

Turned 32 today and this is cycle no. 2 for baby no. 2. I’ve got a DS who turned 2 earlier this month x

I'm 42, cycle 2 for baby 2, DS is 13 months on Monday

I'm hoping Feb will be our month.. although it's still jan. I'm on day 33 of my cycle (which is normally 28 days) although last month I was over a week late! And now started with egg white consistency? Don't know how on day 33 😰 did have some spotting 2 weeks ago too

@Tia22 It took over a year. But I had a positive that ended on week 5 and then I had a loss at 6 weeks and then I finally got pregnant.

Oooh have you tested ?
