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!

@carolinep3 im on CD14 today

So sorry tcc can be so unfair @ttcjourney20001 be kind to yourself get lots of treats today

Any other fertile signs such as cm?
I mean it can't hurt to d2d again today. Are you taking your bbt? If not I would consider it next month. If I wasn't taking mine I would think I ovulate yesterday but my temp didn't rise this morning so I guess I haven't yet.

@ttcjourney20001 I'm so sorry. CPs are so cruel. I had one in November 2023 - the first anniversary of what would have been the due date of the surprise pregnancy I'd miscarried, so bloody horrible timing. I had the first squinters at 11dpo then they were still as faint a couple of days later so I knew the writing was on the wall, then AF arrived a day later.

Have you set the wheels in motion for fertility tests? Your GP should be able to offer day 4 and day '21' tests and sperm analysis before referring you onwards to the fertility specialists. Good luck, it's a horrible process long term TTC, but at least you have youth on your side.

Today is 11dpo for me and still negative tests....

@carolinep3 oh ok yeah i havent tested BBT yet and i had some cm last night but OH was tired so BD this morning

So sorry for your loss @ttcjourney20001 . 😔 xx

Oh no, so sorry to hear that @ttcjourney20001 . That's so shit and unfair

Hopefully the hospital has some suggestions 🤞 we’re here if you need us! Xx

Thankyou had a bit of a mare, hospital had used the wrong tubes for my blood tests so I now need them re doing, sent me to doctors, couldn’t be done there as the blood needed to be tested within an hour, looks like a hospital trip for repeats instead xx

Oh no what a nightmare! My DH had this when doing a blood test and they’d used the wrong labels so had to retest. Such a pain, hope you manage to get seen quickly at the hospital xx

Thankyou, I think I’m going to wait until the morning, af normally arrives over night so if it’s not here in the morning I will test again, still feeling crampy and don’t usually get like this before af, it’s now been 3 days of cramps wishful thinking that it could be implantation? But in reality I’m just expecting af Xx

So so sorry to hear that, @ttcjourney20001 x

That makes sense, I have everything crossed for you that the cramping is a good sign 🤞 try to keep busy today to take your mind off of things and hopefully you’ll have a better idea of what’s happening tomorrow xx

Thankyou will keep you updated either way xx

Please can you look at my LH tests and see what you think, has anyone had this before?

So I started with CM on day 13 but my levels were low. I’m still testing twice a day until I find my peak (currently day 19).

The app has sort of admitted defeat and said I ovulated on day 15. I usually test from day 10 and I’m out this cycle anyway as my DH is working away until 14/02. But next cycle I’m going to test my LH everyday - just incase I am missing it.

Currently in my two week wait. Trying to put it out of my mind as much as possible! Best of luck this month for everyone. Hope it’s okay I join this thread 🥰✨

Maybe LH rised a little bit but the peak got delayed. In my case stress caused a delay this month and today, 6 days later I got my peak even tho I had a rise last week. I usually ovulate day 11 and now I ovulate day 16

Also, maybe there is a chance you ovulated on day 11-12?

There could be, I stupidly didn’t test those days as last cycle I ovulated late (CD19) due to stress.
Thats why I’m going to test like mad next cycle. I’ll keep testing this cycle until AF arrives and see if it peaks late/later than last cycle.

None of those are positive. I don't now what the brand is but I didn't get obvious positives on some brands.
Easy@home I get good lines, I've had these for two days straight now, still not bloody ovulated!

@EEB1989 Don't be hard on yourself, the body is so so hard to read sometimes, especially when its irregular and for me I also never have symptoms during ovulation, sometimes not even EWCM so It's so hard to know! Next cycle you will catch your peak!❤️

They look positive but I'm not good at strips tho, should the test line be even darker?

They’re the clear & simple ones (cheapies) but I’ll order some easy at home ones for my next cycle and see if they’re any better for me.

Ive had a peaks last year when we weren’t trying on these - they once gave me a reading of 1.97 (the highest I’ve had) but since we started trying it’s like my body knows and it’s playing games with me. My cycles have been all over!

Thank you @BerrieSweet I won’t miss the opportunity to catch it next cycle.

I would worry about the numbers, they don't mean much. The one of mine that is obviously positive below was given a 0.2 low on the app earlier!
