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!

Thanks @Sunshine924 and @Room4onemore ❤️ hope you’re both getting on okay and good luck this month 🤞

I’m sure you’ll get your peak soon @Sunshine924 ☺️

I don't know if you've read the thread but I honestly don't think there's such a thing as TMI, this is a safe space!!!

We had very similar with my predicted ovulation last Monday and DP away Saturday Sunday. We dtd Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as I got more EWCM on Tuesday and Wednesday so thought we might as well try! AF due 11th Feb for me. Fingers crossed!

@Kateb149 sorry to hear AF arrived, although really glad you've seen steps in the right direction!

Glad you are feeling good about it, I’m good thankyou I’m not going to stress this month and focus on my health and fitness, I feel like I’ve not been overly healthy since Christmas so I need to start there and see how it goes, I know full well the stress does me no good xx

To everyone DTD daily our fertility consultant told us EOD for the sperm quality.

That sounds like a really good plan, i’ve been prioritising looking after myself since the start of the year and really noticed the difference in how I feel etc. so hopefully it does the same for you. Reducing the stress on the other hand is not as easy 😅 but i’m sure it will all help xx

That’s good to know thank you! We’ve been DTD daily apart from last month and I was wondering if that might not be the best way.

@AlbatrossSociety ha, I have read the thread but didn't feel it was right to come straight in with the details!

We're trying to stay relaxed about TTC so enjoyed a few drinks whilst my other DC were at their dad's, and made the most of the time before he went away. He's not going to be back for a few days, so we're not going to get another chance this month unfortunately!

I got pregnant with both DC the first month trying, but DC2 is 8 and I'm approaching 35 this year so appreciate it's not going to be as easy! I'll keep everything crossed that this is your month 🥰

Sorry to hear AF has turned up for you this month @Kateb149 x

@kateb149 so sorry AF started, that's rubbish. Sounds like a valentine's baby instead though!

I've driven DH mad with all my indent vs positive googling and worrying. We're on a weekend away and I can't get TTC out of my head, it's so all-consuming isn't it!

Ive started getting cramps/backache, flo app says not due AF for another 6 days but last month it came 4 days early

sending you valentines day baby dust @Kateb149 xx

Here’s hoping 😅🤞

Oh no it’s horrible isn’t it! It’s soooo hard not to think about it especially in the TWW. All i’ll say is try and enjoy your weekend away as it sounds like a nice opportunity to relax x

10dpo here and stark negative on two different cheapies and a FRER this morning- i know not out till out but kind of resigned to not getting a bfp this cycle, AF due fri/ Sat! good luck to all those testing today xx

@Floralcat definitely still not out! ☺️ I didn’t get a positive until my period was 4 days late. But unfortunately it turned out to be a chemical 😔. Keeping my fingers crossed for you keep us updated ☺️x

Ladies this TWW is a killer! I’m currently 6dpo according to my app although I think I may have ovulated a couple of days earlier? 🤔 any way my boobs are super sensitive today even when I breathe I’m getting sharp pains in them and having lower back pain. Period isn't due until the 11th. Surely symptoms show once implantation has occurred not before? But I am also having leg aches which is typical before AF, but the sensitive breasts aren’t! Not sure if AF will make and early appearance and is playing tricks on me? It’s too early to test I think? Surely you cant have symptoms before implantation? Questions, questions, questions 😂What are your thoughts? ☺️

10dpo and also negative here too! AF due saturday

Fingers crossed the sensitive boobs is a good sign 😍 6 DPO as well and it's negative (ofc) hahaha but I've tested since 4 DPO. I just can't resist it 😂 Feeling normal, no symptoms! Just increased discharge and high temp which is normal after ovulation. Hoping that it stays high🤞🏼

@BerrieSweet I’m hoping this is the cycle we get out BFP and not my body playing tricks on me! God the days are dragging! I might be tempted to test but missed FMU this morning so might test tomorrow morning. God it’s such a waiting game and it’s all I can think about atm. 🤦‍♀️ crossing my fingers for you keep me updated! ☺️

Ahh really, sorry to hear ended in CP ❤️
will defo keep testing over week but hard not to think out by 10dpo as so many people seem to start getting faint lines early! I also CP in September but wasn’t tracking ovulation then so not really sure when i got my first bfp Xx

I’m 7dpo today and keep checking for signs of implantation - I’m super gassy this morning but think it’s just because I had spicy food last night 😂 me and my partner are off on holiday for a few weeks and I’ve not taken my thermometer or any tests with me - so I’m forcing myself to be chill (it isn’t working yet but I’m not on the plane yet either 😅)

Same!! TWW really is a killer😩 It's the only thing I can think about as well and It's so annoying when people say "try not to think about it and it will happen" because how am I supposed to turn my brain off😮‍💨 My egg won't just "hehe not this time" just because I think about TTC 😂 Keep me updated as well❤️

It absolutely is! I’m 5dpo today and had some sharp stitch like pain in my right side low down on and off for the last 1.5 hours. When I had implantation cramps last time they were more across my whole stomach like AF type cramps so not sure what this pain is? Anyone had similar?

Morning ladies.
Been quiet on here waiting for ovulation. Got what I thought was my peak yesterday (a few days later than usual). But it ever so slightly went down and back up even stronger just now. I had pains yesterday so assumed it was then. One app is sticking with my opk peak yesterday and another has changed ovulation to tomorrow. Why’s it so confusing 😅 you’d think after 2+ years of this I’d know what to expect!

Ahhh crossing fingers for next few days 🤞🤞

@confusedmum25 @Floralcat

Same here!! And NADA!
