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!

You’ve just described how I feel every month during the TWW, a complete mixture of hope and a gut feeling that it’s not happened! It’s so hard isn’t it.

When is AF due for you? Do you think you’ll test before then? I tested yesterday at 10DPO and got a BFN so i’m just going to wait for AF now I think, I can’t bear to see another negative!

Hope you’re not feeling too poorly this morning, and hope the bleeding has settled now. Are you going to speak to the hosp today? Xx

7DPO, tested even though I know it’s too early but I can’t help the urge to POS 🥴

Video call with our IVF consultant today, will do a transfer in May/June if I don’t manage to conceive before then (my 12 month old was IVF)

This gives me hope that my cycle was just messed up this month from Christmas too xx

I’m feeling pretty rough, yes I will call them now xx

Hope you don't mind me joining. CD3 for me. Had 2 mmc last year and been TTC since. I only started fully ovulating last month after my mmc in October, fingers crossed this is the month!!

Oh no, look after yourself ❤️ Lots of water and food if you can stomach it. Hope the hospital are helpful xx

Thankyou are you testing today? Xx

I have tests coming tonight off amazon, Im going to try wait until Monday but realistically probably from tomorrow 😂😂

I don’t ‘feel’ pregnant if that makes sense, might be too early though

I know it’s probably too early as I’m only 2dpo but I feel quite sick this morning and for the last few days I’ve had a twitch in my left eye and teeth pain, like all of them just feel sensitive. I’m also really bloated and gassy!

Welcome ☺️ so sorry to hear about your MMCs… I have everything crossed for you this month 🤞

I couldn’t bear to see another negative test this morning so I just did an LH test to see what the level was like (as I understand LH tests show really dark lines if you’ve got HCG levels) but the LH test was low. AF is due tomorrow so i’m probably out.. i’ve had some cramping this morning too xx

I think we are all a bit sensitive because we are so much more aware of our bodies and trying to work out what is going on. Realistically any symptoms wouldn't happened until at least 6DpO. I wish I could just hibernate until then 😂

Yes I’ve heard that too, keep us updated, if not we are all onto the next month, I’m debating wether to get ovulation tests or not as with our mmc that was actually the month I didn’t test and had given up trying, was so shocked to see a positive, was sure af was coming as I was really cramping and then got a positive the day after my period was due, there’s still hope for you, I’ve calmed down a bit now from the intense emotions I felt when af arrived, just feel like absolute crap with this cold/flu, it’s so disheartening that nothing happened but it seems a lot of us seem to be out of whack this month from Christmas which makes sense, I really hope it happens for us all soon xx

I’ll let you know tomorrow if AF arrives! It’s funny you say that because i’m thinking about not using LH test strips for the next cycle and just DTD a few times during my fertile window. I find it a lot of pressure and worry about when LH will rise so if I can get rid of that stress it’s got to be a good thing.
I’m glad you’re feeling a bit calmer now but so sorry you’re feeling rubbish with the flu/cold. Like you said maybe Christmas is to blame and we’ll have better luck next month.

I have booked a call in with a private fertility clinic for next week, just because i’d like to get some tests done now. I know it’s still early days but I think it would give me peace of mind and make me worry less xx

Yes defo if it’s going to help you, it will take the stress away if you get some answers xx

4dpo and dying to poas 😂 time needs to hurry up

Still no AF and tested negative this morning at 3 days late now, wish AF would just hurry up now so I can be on to the next cycle x

I’m 2dpo could be 3dpo and the days are going soooo slow!

I did one this morning 7dpo ‘ for science’ and BFN as expected but feel better for having first test out the way hahaha

My DH also admitted that he’s a bit worried about things even though he has a son already. So that made me feel much more validated as I really thought he had no concerns! Hope the hospital were helpful this morning xx

So sorry you’re still getting BFNs and no AF. It must be so frustrating! Has your AF ever been late before? X

It’s very unusual for me to be late, I’m usually a day or so early if anything. But I got positive ovulation test on CD22 so I’m guessing that why AF is late, the only thing I have changed is taking the sevenseas vitamins so I reckon that has thrown my cycle out a bit xx how are you feeling today?

Hi I am out tomorrow for a friends birthday. Currently 3DO. Would you avoid alcohol? Or just take it easy? I just don’t want it to ruin my chances of conceiving 🙈

I'm 3 DPO and are gonna enjoy a glass tonight at dinner with friends. Someone said drink til it's pink and I love that because u still want to enjoy life even when TTC. If you drink a lot and get really drunk though I think it can affect the inplantation, that's what chat gpt told me. 🥰
