June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

My period just started so I’m definitely not having a March baby! Slightly shorter cycle than my average at 23 days. I’m not testing for ovulation so only go by averages and EWCM but that would still mean we were in the right kind of ballpark with the timings for sex. Really hope it’s cooled down in about 10 days time or we certainly won’t be having an April baby either

congrats @sarahspeaking !

AF arrived for me this morning. The one positive I am taking out of it is that I don't have much pain at all this month. I am hoping this means my body has now settled down since the losses. Last month was okish but nothing like May when I was in bed crying with the pain it was so bad. So taking the absence of pain as a good sign.

Nothing faint about those @sarahspeaking! Hope it’s a sticky one for you!

@ChaE05 thank you! this was our first month trying - I came off the pill last early last year and it's taken about 12 months for my cycles to get somewhat regular. Didn't try before as we were getting married so started DTD on the honeymoon - feel very lucky!

Hoping it sticks, trying not to be too anxious and just see what happens

@sarahspeakingreally clear lines there! Congratulations. How long have you been trying? X

Hey @DorsetGirl89not sure why they say day 21 as everyone's cycles are so different! The important thing is it's done 7dpo! Xx

Morning everyone,

Tested early today 12DPO and got some faint lines - based on earlier messages I'll hold off testing again until Sunday.

Trying not to get ahead of myself as who knows what could happen.

Fingers crossed for everyone else this month!

12 DPO, zero symptoms and just generally not feeling hopeful. Did an Amazon one step cheapy this morning and defo BFN because didn’t want to waste my FRER.

Had a sharp stabbing sensation wake me as I was falling asleep at 9DPO, but if that was implantation surely it would show on sticks by now?

What do we think? Is there any hope this cycle? Do I bother using an FRER tomorrow morning? (We have a family gathering and would quite like a 🍻 out in the sunshine!)

I know it's hard!
I had three chemicals so I'm being overly cautious now and re-testing every two days.

@Everythingisokay please don’t apologise - I am so happy for any kind of advice. Thank you, I was literally just reading that as well. I think because each day so far I have seen a difference I was just disheartened this morning but I will put it to the back of my mind (she says!) and see what tomorrows test brings x

@Papill19 sorry to jump on but to see the difference, you need to rest every second day, not every day ☺️

That’s great news @Mummysparrow and @peanutForever such a relief! I’ve attached the wrong pic, this one is the last 4 days and I just don’t see any difference between yday and today. @Mushroo how are your lines?

10dpo and some nice lone progression. There was a little bit of worry that the line would disappear today so it was a relief to see that it is still there and stronger

@FarAwayBird i have the Oura ring too and really recommend it! I have used it alongside an oral thermometer one month just to see the difference and oral thermometer gives higher readings overall but generally trend is the same.
Girls I’m driving myself a bit mad with line progression, I think it’s just because it’s darker now that the differences are less obvious, but feel like there is not much change from yday to today. This is my first time pregnant so I just feel so clueless that I don’t even get to speak to a doctor for another 4 weeks!

@FarAwayBird I did the same last cycle when AF arrived but got the apple watch instead 😂

i find my symptoms are more prominent between 10am and 7pm so we usually just avoid during those times x

Okay. Don’t think I need to question if/when I ovulate again. Intense, painful bloating, nausea and diarrhoea symptoms. I can hardly move! How am I supposed to BD today??

I apologise for clogging up the threads so much lately with this cycle, but I got lucky and feel I got some answers after my post chemical confusion. So hopefully I can chill out more in future! And finally managed to record an LH peak 🥰

I actually don’t have any EWCM yet at all which has worried me slightly. It’s thin, watery and completely clear. Maybe it’s just further up I don’t know.

I’ve not got ewcm yet so i’m gonna see what my test looks like tomorrow I ended up testing again and my lh was reading as 0.58 in the app so it’s going up. We do try to bd every other day but my partners working a lot for the next month like all day and coming back very late at night so it’s quite hard to feel up to it some days and i’m also possibly supposed to be going to stay with family soon but don’t want to arrange that for on my fertile times lol😬

@peanutForever that is amazing news. I'm delighted to hear that.

@amey44 my last peak I went from 0.35 to 1.42 in about 14 hours. I would go by your EWCM as your body is the greatest indicator. You could try BD every second day anyway, if you can manage that 🤪

@EmPeEf I don't know if it's just me but I think the test line looks darker than the control line. I would definitely BD tomorrow and test again 🤞🏻

Latest test is still getting darker so I should hold off from sex tonight, right? To try SMEP? Last sex was early yesterday so partner is “recharging” and I want to try and time it well.

Would you say once you get a lighter LH strip you’re fairly certain to be within the 24 hours window of OV?

Thanks the prog will stop the bleeding but fingers crossed little still continues to develop x

@peanutForever thats fantastic news.

@ChaE05 get a two decimal place thermometer and take it after your biggest sleep chunk. My is nearly always at the same time of the day, but it’s not the morning. However, I still see a pattern.
