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!

It definitely wouldn't hurt! So why not 😂 . The phrase marinating is really tickling me, some very questionable mental images going on in my brain

AF still hasn't arrived 😭 was due on yesterday, usually get spotting the evening before then start in the morning. I just really want to be in the next cycle now, so frustrating

@AlbatrossSociety Hahaha I laughed out loud 😂 I hope you get your AF soon If you feel like your out this cycle ❤️

Don't want to admit how many pregnancy tests I've taken to get the point that I'm SURE I'm not pregnant 😂😭

@AlbatrossSociety SAME 😂 AF is late here too, only light spotting but I'm 15 DPO and the tests are very-super-mega-negative so I know om out as well, just waiting for the heavy flow atp

Hi everyone 😊 I’m on cycle 3 ttc day 22. First cycle was 32 days long ovulated day 20, second cycle was 34 days long ovulated day 21. Both times I’ve had really obvious dark lines scoring 1.48 & 1.22 on Premom but so far this month highest I’ve had is 0.66 😅 Trying not to stress about it just yet! Good luck to everyone 💖

Hi welcome!! I can offer literally nothing on this as I've not done opks before, but I hope the peak comes soon so it's not too long stressing. I do sometimes wish we could just will our bodies to do what we want 😂😂

Ha ha yes me, every time I see something really cute, I have to buy it. Mainly next sleepsuits lol

AF arrived today so I’m due ovulation around 25th August so I guess I’m not testing until March 🤷‍♀️

Next have the cutest baby stuff 🥰
im currently struggling to avoid the aldi baby event! 🤣

im currently 6dpo ( i think) i had two different peaks on ovulation but did the deed the day before and after. I had that horrible virus’s so wasnt 100% on ovation this month.
I am starting to wonder if implantation is happening though as i fell asleep at 8pm friday and my breast are very tingling ( don’t normally get this)
AF is due 23rd ( i think) so will maybe test on the 20th… even though last month i say i wont test early!!!
Sending everyone baby dust🌈

25th jan or feb?☺️

Morning and welcome ☺️ I hope your LH peak arrives soon 🤞 sometimes it can be a bit delayed if you’ve been ill or under stress? How many times are you testing a day? X

Its so hard the waiting between each bit of the cycle isnt it/ waiting to ovulate im so impatient to just get to the pregnancy testing stage each time!

Oh my days 🤦‍♀️ I’m really not with it lol my afternoon will be due around the 10th feb 🤣

@AlbatrossSociety Thank you! That would be nice wouldn’t it 😂

@Kateb149 Thank you 😊 I was feeling a bit drained towards the end of last week so maybe that has delayed it. I’ve been testing 2/3 times a day since day 19 as I normally find my lh rises during the day and I get my peak in the evening but nothing yet!

@Floralcat I’m exactly the same I feel like the whole cycle is just waiting and I’m too impatient 😂

I took my last Letrozole tablet last night and will start ovulation tests tomorrow morning. Have a scan booked for cycle day 10 to check follicles also one booked for cycle day 17 to check I actually ovulate

You’re doing all you can then ☺️ I am the same and have to test a few times a day!

To be honest the test strips that show 0.66 look quite strong to me. Sometimes the app doesn’t pick up on the lines properly but that might have been your peak?

I was the same as you last month. We did SMEP and it didn’t work. It was our first cycle trying though so I tried not the get my hopes up.
my cycles had been 29 days for months and last month it was 33… felt like my body was playing a cruel trick.

Currently CD5 patiently waiting for my LH to rise to try again but my husband is working away this month so we might miss it 😬.

Hi all, I'm on cycle 1 (soon to be 2) TTC #2.

Like some of you I'm just waiting for AF as my cycle has been longer than expected (very annoyingly) but all tests negative.

I really got my hopes up that I'd been lucky enough to conceive first cycle this time, as I had 2 days of nausea which I've never had as a symptom of PMS before. But I guess everything is just different since having my son!

Good luck to everyone x

We are in same boat! How old is your son?

I still keep taking a test first thing when AF hasn't arrived but honestly feel like I'm pouring money down the toilet at this point with so many negatives

@AlbatrossSociety my son is almost 2 ☺️ Are you trying for number 2 as well?

I didn't feel too bad about all the tests as I was mainly using old cheap ones. The nausea had me so convinced I was pregnant though so I thought they must be false negatives due to being expired. But the expensive (and in date) ones said the same thing!

Yes my daughter is 2 and a half. Fell pregnant with her before I'd had a proper cycle back after getting the implant out which really surprised me!! I'm not expecting this time to be so straightforward as I know I was very lucky last time. Pretty sure we missed the window in Dec as DP had flu.

I had that too! Convinced I must be using a bad batch so used a good one and still a BFN! I've now used 2 good ones and need to see if I can resist in the morning. Just wish AF would show up so I can move on! Have really sore boobs which I don't usually get before period, I've been reading loads of threads about preconception vitamins messing up your cycle and I've convinced myself it's that. I'm sure I'd be showing a positive by now if I was pregnant

@AlbatrossSociety The waiting is so frustrating isn't it, especially when you're sure AF is coming and just want to get on with things! I had forgotten that about the vitamins actually, that could explain things. I'm trying to take the longer cycle as something of a positive, as mine were very short when TTC before so I had a short luteal phase.

That's amazing that you conceived so quickly first time, definitely a good sign! Have you been trying long this time round?

Hi ladies! Im joining over from the Jan thread! I’m 36 (37in feb) this will be cycle 9 now of TTC. AF was late last month by 3days, took test which our delight was positive…. But then started spotting and AF turned up the next day so assuming it was a CP? My app says my fertile window is 23-29th this month with 28th being my ovulation day. I’m due next AF 11th feb. Don’t think I will test until I have completely missed my period as the positive this month has thrown me off, I was devastated when AF came.
what are the best preconception vitamins to take?? I have only been taking folic acid but think after 9 TTC cycles I need to do more but there are so many out there I just don’t know what is best to take? Hoping everyone gets their BFP soon ☺️x

Hiya and welcome ☺️ so lovely to have you here from the January thread, although really sorry your BFP turned into AF 😔
I was taking Proceive but I’ve come off of those now as I think it was giving me some weird symptoms. I’m taking folic acid, omega 3, vitamin D and CoQ10 now. It seems like a lot but they all have their own benefits for your general health too x

Hello! Can I join please?

DH and I have just agreed to start trying for our second. Our DS is 2 now and while he is the absolute light of our lives we have had some reservations over whether we could do the baby stage all over again. But I’m nearly 40 so figure we’ll just go for it and see what happens!

we were lucky enough to conceive our son quite quickly, but don’t want to go into this with high expectations and end up finding it really difficult if it doesn’t happen.

Currently CD8. Cycles are 26-28 days and I’ve no idea when I ovulate! Guessing would expect it to be around day 12-14?!

I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I ever knew about ttc, so will be reading up on here and grateful for any tips.
