TTC Aug 2024

Hi ladies!

I’ve been quiet on here since I got my BFP - I’ve since had bloods taken in my EPU, HCG has risen well and I’m roughly 5 weeks now?

my dog delivered a litter of 6 puppies on Monday (it’s funny as we usually share the same time for a period as such! lol)

so it’s been hectic! I’m also really suffering with nausea as expected - I had HG with my 2 elder children, so no shock there!

Just been very weak with it and also working 9-5.30 on top of newborn puppies feeding, 2 children and a full time job! Phew!

Had a busy past week, taking my children and friends to Legoland and then Tuesday, my daughter and I went to see Taylor Swift at Wembley!

I won’t complain anyway!

I was given cyclizine for my sickness earlier so hopefully they help.

how is everyone doing? Any updates? Going to have a scroll and catch up xx

Thoughts on this? Does this look positive? This is 12dpo and not FMU. It is absolutely pink but looks thin to me? Thoughts? Took this afternoon.

@BrickBee I also thought the same way as you and assumed I was fertile around 10 days after the start of my period, I've used the easy at home ovulation strips for the past 2 cycles and my ovulation has been around CD19/20! You can get a box off Amazon prime if you want to start tracking now, I find the app really useful in understanding your cycle and knowing your peak

@BrickBee day 14 would make sense for an average 28 day cycle, but some women can ovulate a bit earlier and have a longer luteal phase (this is the time after ovulation until first day of your period) or ovulate late and have a shorter luteal phase.

If you do ovulate on day 14 and you last bd on cd 9, it would be unlikely that you get pregnant this month but not impossible. Sperm can live for up to 5 days. Ideally you would have sex 1-3 days before ovulation as that has the most chance of success.

How long have you been trying? I would try and relax as much as possible this month and just enjoy having the house to yourself :)

@CoolSummer89 not for 2 weeks. I've always just thought it was day 14, but seen alot on here about how it might not be the cause so I got some ovulation tests yesterday to see if could get positive to hopfuly get in that window. A bit confusing but think I kind of understand but is also making me even more anxious then before wanting to test as much as can 😅

I am 9dpo this morning, decided to test because I wanted to pee on a stick. Have no symptoms and was not expecting much, and it was indeed BFN. Will probably test until 12dpo. I am cramping a bit but this could be due to the upset stomach I had on Weds.

sorry to hear that @SkaterChick, will probably join you in a few days!

@BrickBee When is your partner back? Do you know exactly when you ovulate? For example I usually have 27 day cycles and ovulate on day 14, but I ovulated two days early this month.

Hi all, I'm currently on day 12 of cycle. Partner is away :( but we bd on the 9th day, I usually have a 28 day cycle. Do u think I have a chance of conceving has anyone else conceived this early in cycle?
Good luck everyone.

Well AF showed this morning so I'll be moving on the the next thread now xxx

@1441x ooo we will know roughly the same time got everything crossed for you! Same I know fine well in a few days time I’ll be testing “just incase” knowing fine well it can’t be positive yet anyway 😂

@RW269 1DPO here! Convincing myself I'm not going to test until at least 12dpo but I can already see that not happening!!

The faint lines are hanging in there despite starting the bleed today, please stick little one 🥺🥺

Tww has begun here hope everyone’s doing okay! 😂

Hi everyone,

Little update from me - I haven’t posted in a while. Firstly, congrats to everyone with a BFP 🥳 and so sorry to those who haven’t yet 🥰

I’m 1dpo again. So back into TWW. Last month I think our timing was off (cycle was shorter than expected) so I think we missed our chance last month without knowing it at the time. This month I’ve been tracking BBT with my natural cycles app, but also used ovulation tests. I got a positive 2 days ago and think I ovulated yesterday.

I’ll let you know what happens next!

(I’ve just turned 40 and this is our 2nd cycle ttc our first)

Sorry haven't been on a few days, been very busy at work and home. I am 8dpo and have absolutely no symptoms. But maybe this is the busy-ness means I am not symptom spotting like all the other months!

@CRMB95 @Lisa3192 @Herecomestreble1 Congratulations on your BFP!

@Happysoul111 That sounds like a period I had back in January/February. I think sometimes we can just have odd periods, especially when stressed due to TTC.

Sorry to see that you're out @RRAEE & @MrsKurz best of luck on your journey

Welcome @TheBeesKnee @CTMMMDI93 @JNSW - we're always here if/when you need us.

As everyone else has said this looks like good early progression @BlueberryPoppy123

@ChristinaB1203 yes I can see a shadow of some sorts, but maybe it's my line eyes.

@rebecca199 so sorry to read that things are up in the air. Look after yourself xx

Think I'm having a chemical 😢 we tested again last night and this morning and all tests have faint lines but not progressing and started bleeding today 😭

I got my BFP with DC1 at 11 DPO and then tested every day for the next 3 months 🤣 fingers crossed for you!!

@ttcjourney20001 thank you. I praying it is. Had an early miscarriage in April so trying not to get carried away.
I have had spotting for the past 5 days! So odd never had it before and just assumed my periods were crazy, fingers crossed it was implantation and this turns into my BFP!

Looks like the start of a BFP to me, wishing you luck!! Xxx

Hi, sorry for jumping on.

Do people think this is an indent line or the start of BFP. Taken at 9dpo.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Keeping everything crossed for you! How long have you been trying for?

Thank you for replying, it's such a worrying time! Had a previous CP and been trying for over a year so just really hoping this is our time 🤞

@TheBeesKnee 11dpo today! I have faint lines on a few tests now so might whip out the digital tomorrow morning!!

Hello,

Newbie here! TTC month 5 after a miscarriage, today is 2DPO so fingers crossed for good news in early Sept.

@CRMB95 looks very positive to me!!

Hi all, I posted on here last week as I felt I was starting with another chemical pregnancy, however today I've tested, one week after missed period and it looks like this would you say this is a bfp for 5 weeks? My flo app has calculated me at 4 weeks 5 days so I'm not sure exactly where I'm at, just hoping for some positivity.

I can see the faintest line!

How many DPO are you?

No worries! I actually got a positive at 9dpo, currently 10dpo. Feel very tentative after my last pregnancy ended in a chemical, but I'm hopeful 🤞

So sorry to everyone who has been dealt a cruel blow this month. Ttc is so very hard. Thank goodness for communities like this one.
