TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

Morning everyone! Just had a really weird moment - decided to check what my symptoms were at this time in my cycle last month just to compare, accidentally skipped the calendar back two months rather than one and discovered that my cycle in June was actually only 24 days?? That's after coming off BC so I'm not concerned or anything but here's me worried about having a short LP when actually my cycles are clearly still getting back to normal 🤦🏻‍♀️ Plus CD24 was on the 27th of June so I think that's why I thought it was 27 days lol what an idiot 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not so great news though is apparently I did have tender breasts from CD24 last time and that's around when they started this time too - I thought it was earlier this time and that it was a good sign :( Plus BFN on IC this morning at 10DPO. Still time, of course, but feeling like I might be out.

@Monday55 I haven't had that experience so I can't offer you any advice at all, sorry!

@Waitingforbabypage My husband thinks it's going to happen right away too! At first I was trying to get him to be more realistic but he's spread his optimism to me a bit so I'll now be extra disappointed if it doesn't happen this month 🤣

@Kg87 Wish I had that kind of willpower! I just know I'm going to keep testing right up til AF arrives lol. Not going to use my last FRER til at least Saturday though!

@beckyBP I'm sorry you're having a stressful time. Hopefully the cramps are a positive sign though!

Morning ladies AF due today, did a super duper cheapy test... i can see a realllyyy faint line? Shows up ever so slightly in negitive too?? Line eyes please ladies can anyone else see it. This was straight away from POAS!😬

So I just had something weird that's never happened to me before and would feel at ease if someone else can confirm it's happened to them before.

I'm CD11 today and currently averaging 28days a cycle at the moment. I took clearblue advanced digital ovulation from CD9 and had complete negative on CD9 and CD10 (no flashing smiley at all). but behold today CD11 with FMU I had a solid positive (solid non-flashing smiley)? has this happened to anyone before ?

I've always had flashing smiley before solid positive in the past.

[quote rosieb060]@Kg87 he feels that it will happen when it will.

I feel like I will explode if it doesn't happen.

We probably should have started earlier to be honest.

I am so obsessed with it, I've even started looking at maternity clothes [/quote]
My other half reckons it will happen straight away, he's more excited than me, has the travel system all picked out and everything. I've had to try and reign him in a little. Didn't stop him buying a pair of babygrows though.
No pressure then eh?

Hope everyone is going ok this morning.
I caved and bought opk yesterday just to feel some sort of achievement for poas and seeing a line 🤣

@rosieb060 thank you xx

@samantha06 we were using the withdrawal method until May, seems pointless now 😂

Another BFN this morning at 10DPO so I think I’m going to just wait for AF now and save the disappointment for that day rather than every time I do a test 🙈

@rosieb060 @samantha06 thanks girls ❤️ I had the most vivid dream last night that I got a BFP I woke up almost thinking it was real! X

@beckyBP
I hope your ok and your stresses ease soon. Sending baby dust❤

@kg87 @rosieb060
Im the same now i stopped the pill early march and we was using condoms until may? With my other 2 it juts just happened we wasn't even trying, if i knew this time it wouldn't have been like that i defo would have started as soon as i stopped the pill. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.
Im the same glad i have on here to moan and vent, we all in the same boat and just get it. AF due Tomorrow for me, bfn today, if no AF tomorrow will test again friday🤞
Sending baby dust ladies xxxx

@beckyBP that sounds promising!

Hope whatever's feeling stressful clears up soon xx

@Kg87 everything crossed! I'm sorry it's feeling tough. I'd love it to be good news for us all

Aw hope everyone's ok. Just catching up on everything.

I'm having quite a stressful time with some stuff going on atm and I'm also now stressing that's going to harm my chances.

Currently 9dpo and got quite sharp cramps

@rosieb060 yeah mine does too! I said to him last night I wish we started trying earlier, if I’d have known it wouldn’t be a simple as I previously thought I would have come off the pill much earlier lol

@Kg87 he feels that it will happen when it will.

I feel like I will explode if it doesn't happen.

@rosieb060 good luck!! I feel the same too, we haven’t told anyone we’re trying and I think my husband is starting to get bored of listening 😂

@Kc19 thank you- and to you!

I'm just so grateful to have somewhere to vent a bit. We haven't told anyone at all and I feel bad going on and on about it to my partner.

@rosieb060 @EmmaAM fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@EmmaAM it's so difficult.

I keep noticing things & thinking - spotting? Nausea? Burping? Cramping on one side? Being really tired? - do I usually feel like this? Then thinking - STOP IT, you're getting your hopes up- you're only noticing any symptoms cos you're so hopeful!

I know you shouldn't be upset if the test is negative but I think I will be.

@rosieb060 I'm the same as you! AF should be Friday so want to test either Saturday or Sunday. I've suddenly started to feel nauseous over the past couple of days but it's not all the time. I keep going back and forth between thinking I could be pregnant and thinking I'm not 🙈

Crossing everything and hoping I'm pregnant.

AF due Friday, and at the latest Sunday. I think I'm going to wait until Sunday to test. It's killing me!

Hi 👋 sorry to jump on! 1dpo and already going crazy! We didn’t DTD that much in the lead up, but twice on ‘ovulation day’ so not majorly hopeful but still keeping fingers and toes crossed! Hope you’re all ok! Baby dust to you all!!

@somanystars @kg87 @bez91 fingers crossed we all get our BFP within the next week or so!🤞

Thanks @bez91 I really hope it’s all of ours month this time!!

@samantha06 yeah I know what you mean! They’re so expensive and if you have a balanced diet then I think all you really need is the folic acid🤷🏽‍♀️

@EmmaAM I had a wee cry this morning too 😅 Not a hysterical one, but I'm very much not a crier so I think it was definitely a hormonal thing, one way or the other! I'm feeling a little better now though, dragged myself out of bed and husband made us strawberry smoothies. He did tell me this morning (first thing he said to me actually) that my nipples looked.... prominent through my t-shirt lol and just a few mins ago he said that he thinks I am pregnant as I've been quite emotional the last couple of days. But he's always thought we were going to catch first time so he's on the look out for it as much as me!

I did say to him though that if this isn't our month I'll not be doing OPKs etc next time, we'll just DTD regularly (no complaints from him 🤣) and try to be more relaxed about it. This has only been my first month but it's so all-consuming!

@kg87 we can only hope!🤞
Its so hard, seven seas havent messed my monthlys up but i wouldnt say they've helped either haha.
I think after this box irl just go back to folic acid too, these tablets arent cheap and i do wonder if they really make any difference!
I hope you get your BFP this month too lovely, if not irl see you on a sept testing thread haha 🥺

@bez91
How exciting sending best wishes to you!
Last 3 months ive symptom spotted evey little thing but this month i just didnt. Ive been busy though working and had daughters bday sunday! Shes just turned 6.
But im just unsure, its so soul destroying each time AF arrives or BFN on a stick! Ive almost talked myself down from even getting my hopes up this time haha. Anxiously waiting to see what happens tomorrow😬
