TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

Symptoms still going and again, not a slight bit of AF.

I'll wait a bit longer before I take the pic tomorrow, it's not a shock mine are fluctuating when I'm on 21 days post chemical and already have unpredictable cycles so will just keep trying and see 🤞🏻

take pictures of them dry in premom to get an 'accurate' figure (ultimately, the number doesnt matter as it's only positive or negative but can help you see when it's rising!)

my LH is also fluctuating a lot so you're not alone!

@GreenPickle they've all been left 10 mins 😂😭 this is a pic of them all right now, still no peak. Wonder if yesterday morning's was a bit of a false start or something 😅

I'm not really sure what's going on with mine this month. I had what I thought was my peak but the OPKS are still pretty strong 🤷🏼‍♀️

These are still wet and drying ☺️ I normally leave mine and come back to them after 7-10 minutes when they’re not pink

These are the tests I've done the last 24 hours, including the bottom one just now so god knows what's happening 😂

@Blue2020 thank you. Yes, I used Natural Cycles and ovulations nexts for over a year - however I was fixating on it so much I’ve come off it to ease my anxiety.

I check CM and do ovulations nexts - but not temp checking anymore as I found it all too much.

@Jee95 its good that you have started the ball rolling on tests. I have a few questions if that’s ok?

Do you measure ovulation using lh tests or bbt? Not just using an app for prediction. I ask this because some people could have a shorter luteal phase for example and miss the fertile window. Also even though the whole fertile window can count the percentile decreases the further away from ovulation, I can’t remember the odds though but it goes from 20-30% on (ovulation day/just before) to eg 10% 3-4 days before. I’m being vague here because I don’t remember the actual percentage sorry.

@watermelonsoda that makes sense. I struggle to do it some mornings so it’s likely not reliable. My ds woke up crying at 6am and wouldn’t go back to sleep, I had gone to the toilet at 5:30am and I usually take the temp around 6:30am so that morning was off.

I have a high lh test so I think I might get a peak later and ovulate tomorrow. I say all this and we haven’t actually DTD in the fertile window yet! So we need to try tonight or tomorrow and just hope for the best.

To be honest no I don't, I did last month but just haven't this month as mornings are quite hectic 😅 I don't feel like I have ovulated but the wait is doing my head in 😂 but with DD1 I think, looking at the dates, I must've ovulated around CD30 so could be a way to go yet

Hello,

Wishing everyone a successful month. I’m wondering if anyone could give me advice/reassurance.

we have been TTC for 16 months now. My blood test, swabs have all come back normal. I have an ultra scan this week and my partner has semen analysis next. I’m really feeling frustrated!

I’m 28, trying for my first and have always had regular cycles.

Sounds like your preg

I'd love to join please 👋🏻 currently CD20 TTC #2.. had a chemical last month so cycles a bit all over and pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet. This is from this morning, I've never ever had a positive ovulation test so I'm not sure if this one is or not?

Ok so, having cramping and feels like I’m leaking (I’m not) , no spotting at all, 14 days late for AF, day 41 of cycle, my breasts as the evening has gone on, have got incredibly tender/heavy, totally feel like AF is coming but I shall see by the morning. Had bad cramping and sickness over the weekend but negative test.
the cramping is very much ‘down below’ and feels like a pulling sensation!

Hi all would love to join if possible!

Second month TTC baby number 4.
Can't even believe I'm saying those words!

Thought I was 1DPO after a peak but OPKs still high so wondering if failed and attempting again!

I am 8dpo I think, zero symptoms and definitely don't 'feel' pregnant. Not going to test until the weekend at the very earliest, but definitely not feeling hopeful.

Thank you, we suspect that my DH might have some fertility issues due to a procedure he had as a child. We're on the waiting list (4 months) for sperm analysis, so I try not to get my hopes up too much each cycle because I assume we have a lower chance of success. But at this point I always read in to things. It's a bit like waiting for Christmas every 4 weeks.

How long have you been trying and is this for your first?

Good luck, I really hope you get your BFP. I'm terrible for symptom spotting too! It's so hard when so many I get before AF arrives too!

I'm 3 or 4 DPO I'm never 100% sure how to count it. I use cm to track mine and my cycle is pretty regular.
We are on cycle 10 of TTC for our 2nd baby but had a MC at the end of May so this is my first actual cycle since then and I'm hoping for a BFP as we DTD a lot!
I have a short cycle (24 days) so usually ovulate on day 9 or 10!
How is everyone feeling, I start off the TWW so confident and happy!

8dpo and doing mad symptom spotting over here.
Tender breasts, headache, feeling a bit hot and (very small amounts) white creamy cm.
Pretty sure I have had all of these before at this time in the cycle, but won't stop me looking into this will it!
Think I am going to test 11dpo (Thurs), especially if I keep up the symptom spotting.
