TTC August 2023

It is like spotting, is a light orange/rust colour.
Started this morning along with mild cramps.
This is not normal for me in my cycles.
I'm not sure when I have ovulated but my app estimates 11th - 17th with 16th being possible main day. So potentially 5dpo or more

@Lushfanatic123 i don’t think there is anyway to know for sure. What is your bleeding like?
I had a random day of fairly light bleeding (more than spotting) at 6dpo which was new to me and a bit worrying but I can only assume it was implantation. From then until 13dpo it was on/off brown spotting.

Hope that helps!

Think I may be having some implantation bleeding but I'm not sure.

How would you know if it was?

7dpo today, major temp drop this morning? Obviously can’t tell if this could be implantation due to conflicting evidence re temp drop re implantation dip.

crampy the last few days, sharp pains this morning

ttc baby number two, first month trying and following SMEP which successfully worked with my oct 22 baby!

Hi ladies hope it's ok to join. I'm TTC baby#1, been TTC for a few months but I've stopped cycling which is really annoying. Haven't had a period since June, so this cycle has been almost 9 weeks so far. Tested multiple times and blood test a few weeks ago, definitely negative. Hoping it might just happen anyway if I have super delayed ovulation but who knows. Baby dust to you all x

@chelau tentative congratulations, I see something too!

I got my bfp this weekend too, this was our 4th cycle trying after my mmc in March. I’m anxious but trying to be positive!

I definitely see something! Do a digital!

I’m 10 days DPO and not sure I’m ready for the disappointment so not tested yet. I’m not due AF until Thursday so was going to wait rather than testing but I doubt I’ll hold out.

Same 😞 see you on the September thread! Xx

@Twinkles18 that was my thought too - they’re too expensive 🤣

@chelau i can see a faint line too!! I would maybe do another rest strip tomorrow and if it’s darker do the digital? I just hate wasting them lol

I impatiently did a test at 8am as I saw some of you say morning gets the best result. I’m only 9po, my AF is not due til next Saturday and I swearrr I can see something here! Do you think I should do a digital today or wait?

Hi thought I would join. Ttc baby no 2, this is our first cycle. I have been off contraception for 9-10 months.

Due AF at the end of the month, why does 10 days feel like the longest amount of time everrrr!

Hi all, tentatively joining this chat.. I got married at the end of last month and started ‘trying’ straight away.. I was ending my period on my wedding day so perfect timing for TTC pretty much straight away.. Came back from a 2 week honeymoon yesterday and this morning I got a very very faint positive pregnancy test.. I can definitely see the line in person but doesn’t show on a picture. Due on my period in 4 days.. Scary! I have had nausea and lack of appetite.. We’ll see! Fingers crossed!

@Lalarose12 tentative congratulations!!
I would be inclined to test tomorrow again, I’ve previously found that when I’m testing early that I get the clearest result first thing in the morning. It’s very likely that the second and third test were were quite diluted urine so may not show early on.
Good luck 💚

3 tests. +ve around 12pm followed by x 2 -ve. All tests an hour apart (I know I shouldn’t have taken 3 tests in 3 hours but I was in shock).

Do we think 1st is false +ve or wait and retest tomorrow? I ovulated last Sunday so still super early.

Congratulations to all the BFPs 🥳

This is cycle 3 for my 2nd child (mc in May). I got pregnant on my 3rd cycle for my DD who’s now 17months so hoping 3 is the lucky number for me this time aswell 😅
started using the clearblue advance fertility monitor yesterday on CD6 and it’s gave me an oestrogen rise already on CD7 so itl be a long month of BDing 😂 husbands delighted haha!

does anyone recommend any supplements aside from the usual? I’m taking folic acid and COQ10 at the minute.

baby dust to us all!!

Wahoo had my IVF check up scan before next month's FET and it seems I've ovulated so according to temps I am 2dpo 😬 AF due on the 30th.

Congrats!!! And don’t worry about the drinking. I had lots before I found out I was pregnant and he’s absolutely fine!

Congratulations gal 🥰🤩

Couldn't help myself and just done a digital, thought it might come up negative due to only a faint line this morning! But the words came up along with the weeks!! OMG 😱

@theodora2146 Hoorah! Definitely a positive :)

I will do a digital one next week to fully confirm but that line is pretty clear in person!

@MrsHousePlant @TheBirdintheCave thank you ☺️

I'll upload the test a bit later, it's an early response one so I think I ovulated later than usual, definitely thought I was out this month 🤦🏻‍♀️

@HopefullMumto4 @xxcxdonxx

Thank you both! I’ll get ordering 🤞🏻

Good luck to everyone for this month. Fingers crossed for us all!

Congratulations @theodora2146 ❤️
