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!

the thing i’m worried about is sometimes i ovulate early and sometimes it’s late i have 34 day cycles too.
worth a go i guess!

@Kateb149 how are you? Still no af for me, I don’t want to start getting my hopes up but af is now officially a day late, will have to grab some tests today and maybe test later or tomorrow morning xx

Exciting with the AF being a day late! Fingers crossed for you😍

I’m feeling a bit better today thankfully but I had very normal symptoms yesterday so not sure if i’m out… bloating, gassy and hungry which are normal PMS symptoms for me 😅 the only thing I noticed is there was a tiny bit of blood when I wiped this morning but it might just be because my body is under stress from being ill?

Soooo happy AF hasn’t shown up for you yet! Definitely try and take another test today if you can ☺️ how are you feeling in yourself? X

Thankyou still cramping on and off though that’s what’s confusing me, they were very intense yesterday, keep expecting af to arrive xx

It’s so confusing isn’t it, I really hope you get your bfp, pms and pregnancy symptoms are so similar you just never know, I feel ok just nervous now as I’ve still been cramping, yesterday was intense I was so sure af would be here this morning, boobs still sore, wondering if it’s maybe just late coz I ovulated late? I’m quite busy today so hopefully take my mind off it, if nothing arrives while I’m out all day then I will test later, I keep feeling like I’m slightly getting my hopes up then my mind just tells me well why would it happen now, it’s so hard after losses, I just wanna see a line lol xx

Thank you, it is so confusing but I feel quite calm today. I’m going to test tomorrow so we’ll see what it looks like then!

It must be so hard, like you said PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are so similar but cramping without AF and sore boobs are good signs. I can’t imagine how you must feel after having a loss and completely understand it must be hard to get your hopes up. I hope you manage to get a test today. Let’s hope we both get our lines 🤞 xx

Now that im past ovulation im kicking myself for not DTD more but we literally didn’t get any other chance. When do use think is the earliest I could test😂😂

We DTD both two days prior ovulation, yesterday I ovulated but we didn't DTD because of a little stupid argument😂
But we will today because the egg might still be alive and waiting. Can someone tell me it's enough because I'm so dissapointed at myself and DH for not doing it yesterday🥹

I’ve got the goods! Picked up 2 boots early tests, hope we both get lines tomorrow xx

Oooh well done! Excited but nervous for us both 😬 I would love to test today but I just feel like I know it won’t be a BFP so i’m going to hold off xx

@confusedmum25 @BerrieSweet you definitely both DTD in the fertile period so that’s all that matters ☺️ it only takes one swimmer after all 😅

@confusedmum25 i’d say to wait until 10DPO but I know that can be really hard (for me included) 😂

That one swimmer better fertilize my egg right now 😮‍💨☝🏼😂

Same it’s gonna be so hard not to test later xx

@Kateb149 @Mummy1502 good luck for testing tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞 im only 5dpo and tww dragging so much, massively symptom spotting which i know makes no sense so early 🤣

So funny, I'm worrying because we didn't DTD on the two days prior to ovulation, so essentially the exact opposite to you!! We did on ovulation day, but he was away for the weekend and then my daughter didn't get to bed till really late on Monday! So we did Thursday, Friday and Tuesday and my app thinks I ovulated Tuesday. I think the ttc process is just so tricky as we can then worry/feel guilty about things that are literally just us being human beings living our lives! We're gonna try again today and then I'm going to try and move on and just see what happens

I think I will be joining here properly now for one final time so I can say we tried until the third anniversary of my MC in March. I'm 13dpo, AF due today but snowy white tests so I just want her to hurry up and arrive so I can stop thinking I'm still in with some minuscule chance or trying to see lines that clearly aren't there 🤯. Fucked off with this Groundhog Day so in a way I'm looking to next month being the last cycle....

Thankyou xx

@Kateb149 cramping has eased, they seem to be worse in the mornings and evenings xx

Morning all,
Talking about sperm meets egg plan, I didn't do it exactly with my other pregnancies but I did make my husband 'do it' 17 days in a row 🙈😂 that worked.
Not this time though.
DH was too tired last night and I really wanted to get one last time in 1DPO, so pretty short and annoyed with him this morning!
It's funny, now the tww has started i'm symptom spotting already 🙈 wish we could see inside 😂 I have like a heavy, full feeling in the pelvic region, probably wouldn't even notice it normally!!

I’m in exactly the same boat as you! AF due 07/02.
I’m either out this month or I ovulated early and didn’t catch it - it’s a mystery!
My husband is back 14/02 so we can try next cycle. It’s a bit frustrating but there’s very little I can do about it - he’s over 4 hours away without a car and it would be totally pointless if I had already missed my peak.

I’ll just patiently wait for next cycle to begin.

17 days!!!!! Omg that’s Olympic style baby dancing 😬 it worked though.

We did sperm meets egg a couple of cycles ago for the first time and we managed 10 days in a row and honestly we where absolutely finished by the end of it lol! Will not be doing that again.

Honestly some of the things we do ttc just takes the joy out of sex which on a normal day is an activity I absolutely love.

Good effort! I wouldn't worry too much about not doing O+1 - that's just belt and braces in case O is 2 days rather than 1 day after LH peak I think. The days beforehand are more important and you had those covered!

@AlbatrossSociety Hahaha exakt opposites 😂 Yes you worry so much and think about what you could've done different even if your litteraly also trying to live life. DTD while TTC is also just so forced and weird for me but I want to ofc! We will also DTD today and then just see what happens like you❤️

Omg 17 days thats amaaaaazing!!😂😍 Same! If there was an at home ultrasound thing to see if your egg has been fertilized I would 100% buy it😂
