TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

I'm about the same I think! Around 6dpo. Also feeling fairly calm and going to try to hold off from testing for as long as possible. No real symptoms to speak of at the moment - but I know it's early!

How is everyone doing? Anyone else mid way through the TWW?

I am 6po and feeling very calm. Long may it continue! Going to try to held off to 12dpo until testing.

Sorry to hear it I was looking out hopefully fir a BFP from you. Next month for us both 🍀

@LucyCL
Sorry my phone has messed up and it won't let me untag you!

Finally got my peak yesterday CD 22 so O day today! Finally in the TWW and foolish optimistic as always 😂

@LucyCL i felt a stabbing pain that happened on and off, maybe 3-4 times within a 20 second period. It was noticeable enough to register what I felt, but obviously I wasn’t too sure what it was until a few days later when I got my BFP.

@SummerSun24 this is so true and actually has reminded me not to stress about my 11 day LP (which isn't even technically short!).

With my son, I had early implantation on 6DPO (I know because I felt it), and a faint positive test at 9DPO, confirmed with a digital at 10DPO. This was with a 9 day LP, so just goes to show it's completely possible 🙂

Yup @SummerSun24 thats the same conclusion I found. And no evidence that attempts to prolong it have any effect on successful conception. Which is fairly reassuring.

Funny you should say about a short LP @Amber17 seems alot of us seem to have the same issue! To make you feel better I've been down most of the rabbit holes and it's seems that over the span of 12 months it has little effect on your chances of conceiving as implantation takes 6-12 days. I think the rational at some point some of those eggs will implant as early as 6dpo so even extremely short LP of 6/7 days an egg could implant in theory. Many people wrote about bringing it up with fertility specialist and it seems like it's never a huge concern. I stopped my research there as there's no point worrying about the unknown (in theory 😂).

I don’t really feel any different either 😂 if you manage to hold out well done!!

@DaisyEM 3 days before could well still put you in with a chance! Typical that he was working away, how frustrating 😅. It’s still so disheartening to see AF even when you know you’ve not had much opportunity. We’ve been pretty slack at it this month so not expecting anything, but I know I’ll still be gutted when the time comes 😂

Hope everyone is doing okay. 🥰

Im using 2 apps and getting different ovulation dates. So I'm either ovulating today or 2dpo. Havent found the LH tests that reliable and trying the less stress way.. But then again is not knowing stressful too 🙈 we cant win can we! I've had niggling cramps for a few days and DTD every other day so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

I think I'll start testing end of next week. And I'll try and distract myself so I won't start any sooner.

Sending positivity to you all 💖

Hi ladies.

I gave in to the temptation to test yesterday at 9DPO and realised I was spotting before the result even came up. Was hoping it was just implantation spotting but AF has arrived today to ruin that.
Trying to convince myself that having short cycles (23-24 days) is a blessing not a curse but am going down the rabbit hole of googling luteal phase defects.

Just checking in! Around 5dpo I think. The only 'symptom' I've noticed is insanely vivid dreams - but I know it's far too early to be having any symptoms!

@Marie1990x thanks so much for the pep talk ☺️ I’m feeling more positive now. Tbf we never had a great chance this cycle as DH was working away at the crucial time 😅 so the best we could do was 3 days before ovulation. Hopefully this month we will be in with a better chance x

@MaryMax no symptoms at all, I keep thinking some people see faint lines 8dpo so should I try then, but then also not expecting to see anything because I don't feel any different and then don't want to be in a bad mood all weekend from being disappointed, might try to hold out till 10dpo

When do you think you’ll test? It’s so hard, I’m almost nervous to test too because I just don’t believe I’ll ever see two lines 🤦🏼‍♀️ have you had any symptoms?

Snap! 6dpo, literally thinking the same about this weekend but feel like I'm getting my hopes up to be disappointed 😅

Hope everyone’s doing okay! Now 5DPO and already fighting the urge to test even though I know it’d be negative what is wrong with me?! 😂 is it too early to test this weekend I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist!

I'm 4dpo today and will hold off testing until at least 10dpo. This is cycle 6 trying for first baby. Feeling hopeful this month ✨️

@Marshmallow99 sorry to see you over on the July thread 😔.

@DaisyEM stay positive, always gutting no matter how long you’ve been trying. In fact I get less bothered by bfn/af now after over a year than I did when we first started ttc!

My BBT thermometer has broken and out of OPK’s, but I think that’s actually going to help keep my calm not obsessing over them. Did my last OPK this morning and it was faint, so I’m going off what the app’s suggest and now officially in the TWW at 1DPO

Oops just saw your reply! I have tried to in the past but I never seem to notice much difference throughout my cycle, will keep trying maybe it's just me 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely understand @DaisyEM , I felt exactly the same and still do now just three cycles in. But great news on the LP! Best of luck this cycle to you 🙏🏻
