Hi ladies!
CD 1 for me today, so I’m moving over from the July thread and starting this one (don’t think there is already one).
Anyone else now ttc for a BFP in August??

Just uploaded my bbt today. I should be on 8dpo (just based on what premom has said) I never found my peak but gave up on opks the other day as was well into my dpo's uploaded my bbt today and it's changed my predicted ovulation day 😫 my partner was away end of July so no BDing around the ovulation it's now changed to.

Any ideas why it would change I didn't think my temp changed much it's like a degree or 2 that's all. Still think I'm going to poas on what would have been 10dpo. I've been so good with waiting to poas this time 😫

Picture of my premom graph if anyone can work it out. I think maybe I haven't ovulated to his month

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but if we were to conceive this months, is that an April baby? We are trying for an April baby x

April baby would be from conceiving in July. August would mostly work out a may baby I think.

I got too impatient and did a pregnancy test today. BFN but I am about 5dpo which I know is too early to tell. But everytime we've done it it's been unprotected so I was hoping for a miracle I think 😂 I will wait until 10 dpo until I test again

We’ve all been there 😂

Hi everyone! I just got a positive ovulation test today, so I’ll be POAS around the 15th August I think, maybe 14th if I get impatient 😂

Same here, 1dpo here and hoping to hold out until the 14th or 15th!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to distract myself and not symptom spot (but this is my 1st month ttc so I’m excited!).

I’ve noticed a few things - but they could all be normal occurrences too, so I’m trying not to get carried away.

My cycle tracking app thinks I’m on 9dpo today (it thinks I ovulated on day 16, but I think it’s 7 or 8dpo (I’m sure I felt ovulation pain late on day 17). My temp graph looks a bit weird this month too - I had a gradual increase in temperature for ovulation, not a steep increase. So I’m really not sure which day it happened!

Anyway, I’ll do a test later this week 🤞🏻

Hi everyone, hopping on this thread. Ttc cycle #8 after MMC in December 2023. Ovulation supposedly in two days but partner and I just DTD, not getting my hopes up this cycle, just ruins me every time I get my hopes up and get negatives. Trying to stay positive but each month that passes gets harder. Sending baby dust to all 💕💕

My thoughts are with you @MrsB902 & @OliveTraybake, days 8pm-10dpo are the most maddening! I was there last week. Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

do you think AF might be on the way @Lou0811 ?

I have my CD3 blood work tomorrow. My first ever fertility tests, I’m a bit nervous but as my husband says if there is an issue, better to know asap.

Hi CoolSummer89

Erm, I did wonder this, but no other signs so far!

how is it your end? X

Hello, ladies can I join? I'm currently 5dpo. This is cycle 8 for ttcing baby 2. We've had a couple of miscarriages in between cycles. And took a couple of months off to give us a break but this is our first cycle back really trying and tracking. I ovulated later this cycle than the previous two so that threw me off but we still managed to bd the day of peak test and the day after. But I'm slowly going crazy in this 2 week wait! My DS turns 5 on Tuesday. And I'm due on a week today! So I'm crossing my fingers that I'll catch this month! X

blueberrypi27 · 02/08/2024 15:58

Fingers crossed for that third April baby for you! You might have just missed the peak, opks are a bit unpredictable x

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but if we were to conceive this months, is that an April baby? We are trying for an April baby x

Lou0811 · 04/08/2024 18:41

Hey ladies,

how are we all?

I’ve had horrendous cramping since yesterday, terrible mood swings and incredible fatigue… I am on day 75 of my cycle and 47 day delay for AF…

tested negative last Friday/saturday, so not holding out any hope.

i have my internal scan on Wednesday, so hopefully a nice surprise too!

MrsB902 · 04/08/2024 06:59

OliveTraybake · 04/08/2024 06:47

Sorry to hear that - I’m testing this morning too.
youre not out until AF arrives xx

I know, I’m trying to keep that in my head but there wasn’t even a tiny hint of a line so think that’s me out for this month. Best of luck to you, fingers crossed yours is positive xx

OliveTraybake · 04/08/2024 06:51

This is such a rollercoaster. 10 dpo tested this morning and it looks negative to me.
wiped and some blood on tissue. AF would be due Thursday. Any ideas?

OliveTraybake · 04/08/2024 06:47

MrsB902 · 04/08/2024 06:31

I’ve just tested and got a glaring BFN - I’m gutted, I swear I felt pregnant this month!

MrsB902 · 03/08/2024 21:21

In everyone’s experience, is 10dpo too early to get a reliable positive test? I’m in two minds whether to do one tomorrow or wait until the day my period is due.

I had a squinter on a first response early result at 9DPO with my daughter, but it didn’t look like much of a line until 11dpo x

mangobe · 03/08/2024 22:44

I think I am 3DPO and been having some cramps this evening, has anyone else had anything like that? I know it's too early to be implantation or anything..

I’m 10 dpo tomorrow too and I’m also in two minds!! I think I’ll do one first thing but remind myself it is negative then I’m still have time before AF is due x

Hi @Lou0811 sorry to hear you are still on the mega-long cycle, have you been able to discuss your blood work with your doctor?

@FlyWren if your peak day was yesterday, then today is likely to be your ‘O’ day, so tomorrow would be 1dpo.

@cocodaisy people say that you can’t get pregnancy symptoms before implantation and 4pm is probably a bit early for that. However I also sometimes think there is some female spidey sense for pregnancy that defies the science!

@MrsB902 Good luck, hope this is your month.

Ahhh, you’re in this thread too! 🤗

They just said it’s ’normal’ - I’m having an internal ultrasound scan on Wednesday to look at what’s going on!

fingers crossed x

I also recognise some of us here from the July thread. Today is 3 dpo and I had a decent rise in pdg on Mira which is looking positive! Baby dust to all of us here. 💙

Oh that’s good. I’ve been tempted ever since I saw a woman on TikTok basically find out she was pregnant at 5dpo when her dog shot up, but I think I want to try and wean myself off the multiple apps and testing methods!

wishing you all the luck this cycle
