June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

just tested now- 0.44 so rising, i think i’ll either peak tomorrow or day after x

Oh no peanut! Hopefully it’s nothing to worry about 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

i took a FRER this morning before work and dismissed it as negative. Took photos before I chucked them away and left for work but the weirdo I am has decided to look at the photos whilst on lunch. I am pretty sure it is negative but part of me thinks there is something there. I am only 8dpo so still early

@EmPeEf Yes I'm using Premom, fourth cycle using it, I think it's great. When I look back at my other period tracker (no BBT or OPKs so fertile window just a guess) I feel like we just weren't BDing enough. It felt like plenty(!) and to be fair I did conceive twice, so it was enough I suppose, but if you compare it with a SMEP approach it was much less. This month we might manage to do SMEP, give or take.

That is so nice that it's made a positive difference in your relationship - honestly that's no small thing because I'm sure many couples find the stress of TTC puts a strain on the relationship. Bit of both for us I think, definitely more stress and difficult conversations and he doesn't like seeing me get overwhelmed, but we do feel closer. Now we've got the ball rolling with some testing I feel he's more on the same page too.

Let me know what your OPK says tonight!

@megan345 where are you at with yours today?

@peanutForever so nerve wracking, I feel for you. Everything crossed.

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the tag in the new thread, CD5 for me today so coming out of the feeling sad and getting more towards feeling excited for the month ahead..as excited as one can be after 13 months ttc any way 😂
As much as im sad to still be on the thread, very glad that ive got all this company to stop me going mad!

@ChaE05 I'm just waiting on results from the RMC at my local hospital. Bloods so far say no real issues with lupus or clotting. Fibrinogen was just borderline high so they may repeat that in 12 weeks or not who knows. Still waiting on thyroid bloods and I've a non pregnant scan of my uterus and kidneys next week.

@Esssamy goodness, just too many losses 😔 I'm sorry, it just makes pregnancy 100 times more anxiety inducing. I hope we have our rainbow babies soon! I realised mc was common but I guess I was naive in thinking once I had the first the likelihood of it happening again was slim. I'm also putting it down to age at this point...38. As tests I've had done so far have all come back normal x

@peanutForever thinking of you, hope it all settles down

Hey @SureLooknothing more than light period pains but my symptons have duller down a lot, tbh it is expected given my past but i was hoping for happy news this time and i am still hoping as i had with my son too and hes now a healthy 4yr old, fingers crossed x

@ChaE05 my first was first month trying. Went all in with the smep method. My second was literally once last minute as we were trying to sway for a boy and it worked. So now karma has come back to bite me and making #3 difficult. I'm actually 7 pregnancies in due to losses before my first earthside baby as well as since my second. I had no losses between the two so it was a shock to be back here again tbh. Thought my body had figured it out. Clearly not. I was also 32 and 34 when I conceived the other two so being older probably isn't helping either.

@peanutForeverthinking of you and hoping you get some answers! It's crazy how you go from cloud 9 to all consuming anxiety. The whole process of ttc is the worst. Doesnt even stop when you get that bfp x

@Esssasame here but I'm onto cycle 9..miscarriage and chemical in there too. 10dpo and period due tomorrow..or hopefully Friday if I have managed to lengthen luteal phase. Did it take you long with your first 2? X

@Mushroo & @Papill19 lines are looking good ladies!

@peanutForever ah, sorry to hear that. Are you having any cramping or anything?

Hey ladies i have more spotting but its red like AF is on her way..been referred for bloods to epu so hopefully they call me today/tomorrow!

I'm 12dpo today and my temp has taken a nosedive so I'm waiting for AF to show up now. I'm quite liking not squinting at tests that I take too early. And I'm still getting my information fix from temping. On to the next cycle, which I think is cycle#8 with an 8 week miscarriage and a chemical mixed in there too. 37 ttc#3.

That’s a good line! Here’s mine for comparison, it’s good to have someone at a similar stage! Think you’re a day ahead?

My test this morning, definitely darker which I’m happy about, but my temp went down slightly today other than being tired, still have no symptoms!

I feel awful today, so tired and nauseous. Surely it’s too early to feel this bad so I’m now worried I’m coming down with something - having got a message from my LOs nursery they have a hand foot and mouth outbreak.

11dpo and my tests are slowly getting darker, but still haven’t had the ‘wow’ line I want to show DH

I have woken up with bad indigestion and after the cramps and slight blood yesterday I succumbed to taking a test. At 8dpo of course it was negative 🤣

I'm 10DPO now and desperate to take a test but really trying to hold off until Friday, the TWW is too much 😅

I'm trying the whole pretend you're taking a break but you still think about it every day but you hope cos you're not testing this months it means you're "more relaxed" 😅🤦🏽‍♀️ sarcasm as well if anyone was unsure 😂

Premom says ovulation already been and gone beginung of this week, flo says peak was last night.

Funnily enough first month I've had barely any ovulation pain, but that makes me think I haven't done it yet cos I always have pain. Though it's second month taking vitamin c at 1000mg so maybe that's why, I dunno, not testing so won't know when it actually ocured.
But be interesting to see when my period arrives as both apps say different.
Anyway. That's all I have for now 😂

Hey guys, checking in again. Im on my 2ww now, mind you we haven't tracked anything this month as wanted to just enjoy the time instead. So no idea what dpo I am but hoping this month its the one!

I thought I was seeing a gradual increase, but my SMU test this afternoon (bad sleep habits lol) showed a small dip. I’ll do one later tonight to see how it is. Reeeally hope it happens the next 5 days, but tbh even if we miss the peak this month, I feel like our relationship and sex life has improved so much the last few months that it’s all been worth it without a BFP so far.

I’m always hyper optimistic and happy at the start of the month 😄

Are you using an app like Premom?

@peanutForever like @ChaE05 said its probably a combination of the sex this morning and being so hydrated. Honestly, just step away from the tests. I know that is so hard to do when you wanna see that lovely line progression but they mean absolutely nothing in terms of viability. It's great that you're gonna get progesterone.

@ViolettySpaghetti welcome! I'm hoping for my rainbow too 🌈✨️❤️

@FarAwayBird sorry AF has arrived. I hope those pastries were delicious!

@DoubleDandelion it's so hard not to test isn't it?!

@kw1091 best of luck 🤞🏻

@hollyhocks2 sounds like you've got it well covered!

@hollyhocks2fingers crossed! definitely, i feel little twinges so i definitely think i’m due too soon just taking its time x
