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!

Honestly I think I’m just not registering symptoms at the moment - AF and pregnancy symptoms just too similar. You think you’re pregnant and you’re not, you think AF is coming and you’re pregnant. Can’t keep up lol. Will keep you posted - hopefully by Monday AF will be here, if not here by Tuesday then we need to start investigating hehehe

I've started light spotting, I think AF will arrive tomorrow. Looking forward to start a new cycle! Maybe, hopefully, all of us gets our BFP in feb🥰🤞🏼

That’s very true! PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are very similar just to make things more confusing for us 😅 let us know how you get on!

Hope you’re doing okay, and yes everything crossed for us this month 🤞☺️

Yeah Ill be doing LH strips but not BBT as do shift work so my routine varies! I’ve just got some actual pre conception vitamins this time as well rather than randomly taking a vit D when i remember 🤣

Thankyou. How are you getting on?

Hi everyone!

Joining you all here, AF due tomorrow and had a negative test yesterday. I should be ovulating around 24th so similar to a few of you in here.

My partner also does not understand how my brain is working when it comes to all this stuff, I'm sure he thinks I've lost the plot. When I said I did a test yesterday he was like 'why don't you just wait and see if your period comes?'. Easy to say when you're not the one who gets pregnant!! It's so lovely to be able to talk on here with people going through the same things.

I conceived my daughter the first cycle but that was with my exh so not taking it as a sign that things will happen quickly this time. I've never done OPKs or BBT or anything just keep an eye on CM. I'm hoping to just dtd every couple days and take some supplements as I'm worried I'd find the tracking all consuming.

I can totally relate to you! As a women I really think it's more intense and tough, even though your DH is also looking forward to the BFP!

My DH thinks all the words are funny and is fluent in TTC now 💅🏼 He knows DPO, CM, TWW and AF 😂

We're almost cycle-twins, I ovulate on the 25th! Our time is coming soon🫶🏼

which vitamin brand did you go for? i’ve been seeing mixed reviews and debate changing

I do the same. Haha well hopefully the new supplements help 🤞 it’s so hard to remember isn’t it! I set an alarm on my phone now because my memory is like a sieve!

Good thank you ☺️ I’m CD7 and will probably ovulate around CD14-15 so I’m just enjoying this part of my cycle where I don’t have to worry about anything!

Oh my gosh your DH is good! I’m not sure my DH would even know what a two week wait was even without the abbreviation! 😅 x

Hahahha 😭 I'm yapping about this with him non-stop so it's not by choice he knows all of this 😂

Ooh i just went for standard Pregnacare i have no idea whats supposed to be best though

I was told
Pregnacare have a lot of fillers in, I've taken them for months. But it be changed to inessa ones , these were recommended to be.

@BerrieSweet love that he knows all this 🤣 mine absolutely doesn’t get the cycle at all and just hopefully asks ‘ do you think you could have ovulated then’ every time we dtd like the egg just flies out on command ( i wish!)

Hahahaha that's so funny!!! As if he puts in a really good performance he could make it happen. That would be nice though, tell him you're more likely to ovulate if you have 7 orgasms.

My partner did once pull out at the end, and when I looked at him like wtf he was like 'well that wasn't exactly baby making sex was it'. I was like you don't have to be whispering sweet nothings babe 😂any sex will do. Wonder what on earth goes on in those brains

I'm taking vitafem boost, pregnancy plan and coq10, purely cus I've read about them on here 😬. They were very spenny so I'm hoping I don't have to buy them for too many more cycles.

@Floralcat @AlbatrossSociety laughing so hard! 😂😭 Our DH's is so cute tho🥰

That’s good to hear. Definitely enjoy this period whilst you can x

Hahahah thats so funny- i know lets face it ttc doesnt always equal the most romantic nights 🤣

yeah tbh thats why i just got pregnacare as well as a lot of them are just so expensive but if they work than obvs worth it 🤞🤞🤞🤞

When you’re younger you think TTC is going to be a magical time but calculating when to DTD and all the pressure is anything but magical 😂

Hope you get on well with the Pregnacare!

Ahh af started today! I mean I know from the spotting I was pretty much out, but I still had this 5% part of me that was hopeful!
I just don't get it. If sperm met egg why no pregnancy? Ahhhhhh

I'm 95% sure they are no better than pregnacare, but I made an impulse purchase after my BFN 😅.

Annoyingly AF still hasn't made an appearance, I was taking seven seas preconception vits last month and I'm wondering if it's interfered with my cycle. It's all such a bloody (or actually not bloody at all yet) minefield.

@Kateb149 I don't think we've been trying long enough for dtd to have gotten tricky yet, this is only cycle 3, but I think it's already changed things in my head. I suddenly feel like I've no idea how to initiate things and can't remember how I did that before!? 'I think I'm gonna ovulate soon' probably isn't my partners preferred dirty talk 🤔. Anyone have any tips for feeling more normal about sex!? Or is this just part of ttc?

I completely get this! When AF starts light I still have a part of me that hopes it’s implantation… sometimes it’s just not the right month. Hope AF isn’t too bad for you x

It’s really hard. I haven’t felt too bad but I know my DH has felt the pressure and said after a few months that it felt like we were only DTD to try and conceive which is so disheartening. I am always initiating it and I know what you mean 😂 somehow it feels more awkward now!
We’ve tried to just ‘spice it up a bit’ and just have more fun rather than focusing on just doing it ‘right’. It is hard though when you know some positions etc work better than others 😅🙈
