August TTC thread ❤️

@ChaE05 This is cycle 6, we tried for 6 months January 2024 but stopped for our holiday. We started again in April so 4 months so far. It’s taking over my life and worrying. I just want to get pregnant and start living as even when we stopped for nearly a year I’ve not been happy, hopefully we get our BFP soon!

@ForGiddyDreamer Thank you! We have covered ourselves. Really good the last two months, we’ve just finished three days in a row as today supposed to be ovulation day! Can’t wait to relax 🤣🤣🤣 Hopefully won’t need the hycosy but I’m hoping it will help us! So happy for you that your pregnant and I’m so sorry to hear of your heartbreaking news about your FIL, sending love ❤️

@Ella31 Welcome to the group lovely, all the ladies here are so lovely and so supportive. I’m also so sorry you had to go through such a heartbreaking 💔 experience. I couldn’t even imagine and being so strong to carry on ❤️

@SureLook Your message made me feel emotional 🥲 it’s so lovely having strangers routing for me to fall pregnant ☺️🩷 Hopefully it will be our time soon lovely.

@peanutForever I’m so happy that your pregnancy is going well, when is the 12 week scan now?

Thanks so much. Baby Apirin is low dose aspirin. They put you on it for high risk pregnancies or if you have loses in the past

@SureLookmy boobs felt funny today so I tested and obviously got a big fat negative.. if I didn’t indeed ovulate early I would have been on 9dpo so either I didn’t ovulate that early after all or I’m out this month.. Sunday is a week before my period is due so if I did ovulate after I for my peak on clear blue, then I’d hope it was bfp by then 🤞🤞What dpo will you be on Sunday?

@Ella31im so sorry you’ve had to go though all that. I can’t even imagine.

@ChaE05im sure I’m being dim here but what is baby aspirin? It’s it simply just aspirin approved for babies..? What does it do?

That’s great news peanut ☺️

@peanutForeverwow how are you 10 weeks already?? I'm so pleased everything is going well for you. Please let us know when you have had your 12 week scan 🥰

@Ella31reading your post brought a tear to my eye. The unimaginable. The pain you must have gone through... I'm so sorry for your loss but a massive congratulations on your little rainbow girl. Welcome to the group 🥰

Thanks @EmPeEf wishing you so much luck too. It's a mix of emotions ttc isn't it. I'm based in Ireland but its 3 losses snd you can ask for help here. I actually was referred after my boys died. It took me 8 months to conceive my daughter and my mental health was in overdrive so they actually sent me for fertility checkup and it was clear. Im not saying that worked wonders, but it actually relieved me and I decided if we hit the year mark, we'd consider ivf. We actually conceived thst month. I also had a hycosy the month brfore and it was clear but they told me its great for clearing you out even if its not blocked and sure enough. We conceived that cycle. I'm sorry for your losses.

Oh @Ella31 I’m wishing you all the best after everything you’ve been through. Welcome to the chat xx

@Mash0917 I am truly surprised at the idea of that being an indent. Will you not test again?

I’m pretty sure in 1dpo now. I had a peak test late on the 11th and my temp rose 0.2 today compared to yesterday. So 🤞🏻 everything is working after last months chemical and I get a shot this month. I feel really confident we just have to wait for the right egg/sperm combo rather than there’s an issue with my lining or progesterone at this point. But if I have another loss that would be three in a row and would I be entitled to ask for any help?

Thanks so much. Nice to find this group. Wishing us all babydust 😍

@Ella31 I am so sorry to read about your experience. It's heartbreaking. I am so glad you have your little girl. 8dpo is still so early, so you've a few days yet. Fingers crossed for you xx

@Mash0917 I can't believe that was an indent!

@peanutForever I am so glad that your pregnancy has progressed well ❤

Hey @ForGiddyDreamerim good...ten weeks now and the progesterone helped a lot- they found a hematoma so that was the cause with the bleeding and im off the aspirin now, everything seems ok just waiitng on my 12w scan. My epu are fantasticl keeping an eye on me etc, sending baby dust to you all and hope to see some bfps this month on the group x

Hey @ForGiddyDreamer and @EmPeEf, thanks! ❤️❤️ I did another one today with fmu. Solid negative. Guess it really was an indent. 12 dpo today. Waiting for AF in 2 days.

Hi all, wondering if I can join. A bit about me, I'm technically trying for number #5. But I only have one living daughter she's 4 months, I know we're going quite early again. But we have our reasons, we had two early mc's and then we lost our twin boys at birth 20 months ago. It was incredibly traumatic - our first twin was stillborn and his brother died in our arms 4 days later when we removed life support. So we have since been blessed with our only living child but since I want hopefully two more children. Im not sure how long I can keep the trauma of ttc going, it's very triggering. I'm 34 so I want to have my little family and move on with my life and enjoy them.

Im 8dpo today and tested negative. I usually test positive at 8dpo so not holding out much hope. Thanks for reading 😍

@ForGiddyDreameri hope you can get away! I'm sure it will do you both the world of good.
I think I would be inclined to wait until the 6.5-7week mark so you can see the heartbeat. And you will know exactly what you expect to see at that point. Other than 'oh its too early to see anything' then further worry until the next scan.dont blame you avoiding dtd. I don't think I had sex the first trimester with my son. Just didn't feel right xx

@ChaE05 Holiday sounds wonderful! We are heading off next weekend for a wedding but making a long weekend out of it. I can't wait. But it's 60-40 we'll go, depends on how DP dad is. I am going to ask about an early scan tomorrow. In Feb, they scanned me at 5+3 with a transvaginal scan and I could see the yolk sac etc. But I worry that might prompt spotting again. We haven't d2d since finding out, I'm too scared that anything will annoy my cervix! I'll find out what is the earliest I could feasibly be seen.

@ForGiddyDreamerhonestly feel for you, I can't imagine the nerves. You just want to be able to enjoy your pregnancy. I hope these early weeks go fast for you! Will you be able to get an early scan? Surely? Sorry to hear about your father in law. Such a sad time for you all x
Yes I had a full period in the end! Just finished yesterday. Hoping it was a one off. Just busy looking at holidays for next month- we need something to look forward to!

@YKM2829wishing you all the luck for this cycle! How may dpo are you?
Definitely push for progesterone. You could take the baby asprin yourself? That's my plan if I'm blessed to get a bfp again ! Xx

@Iris2024 you've covered your bases with sex around ovulation so hopefully this is your month! Great that there is a plan for the hycosy if you need it for next cycle.

@ChaE05 8th of September is not far away at all. Was your period normal this month, after the unusual spotting? If so, likely just an odd start to AF for you and down to stress.

@YKM2829 so difficult not to symptom spot but I hope this month works out for you. I hope too that are you listened to if you get a BFP and are offered progesterone and/or aspirin.

I am 4+6 today which is the point in February when my light spotting suddenly went bright red and I rang the EPU in a panic. Everything is ok so far today but I am feeling on edge every time I go to the loo. DPs dad has been told 2 weeks-2 months so he's been staying at the family home since Monday as it's closer to the hospital where his dad is. I don't begrudge him at all, if it was my dad I'd be there too, but I am left to my own spiralling thoughts!

I've been slowly reading and catching up ever few days.
I'm in my tww first one since miscarriage last cycle.
Feel funny cramping twinges and sore boobs but AF is due Friday so very well could be that too.

Congrats to those with bfp
I'm learning alot and am hoping next time bfp arrives someone actually listens and maybe tries baby aspirin or progestrone for me next time 🤞

We will see... Xx

@Iris2024fingers crossed for this month! Sorry, remind me what cycle you are on? I've just finished my period, but don't usually get my peak until CD18, so a little while yet!
Hopefully you won't have to wait long for SA! And your hycosy either. I really want one, so I'm hoping fertility clinic will offer me one! Have a telephone call with them the 8th Sept.
Each month that goes by gets harder doesn't it. The longing just increases xx

Hi ladies, CD12 today and got peak test today. So imagine should ovulate tomorrow- We have managed to DTD 3 times so far… just want to be pregnant now! Fed up!!! lol🤣

My DP had his semen test Friday so waiting for results and I’ve had a letter to contact the hospital when I come on, to book my hycosy to flush and check my tubes. I keep telling myself I will be pregnant! 🤰 🩷 I keep thinking we caught with our daughter first try 6 years ago and it’s so sad that with age fertility declines so much. It’s so unpredictable and really hope we are lucky again one day soon! 😢

It was wonderful thank you 🤩 small group, and a wonderful teacher. I managed to do a full lotus position which I’m proud of, lol. Very relaxing setting. Love that I inspired you to give it a go albeit kids yoga! 🧘‍♀️

@SureLook I’m planning on testing on Sunday too! The need to test so so big that I have to force myself up and to the loo in the morning so I don’t lie in bed and convince myself just to test..

@PeonyPatchhow was your yoga? I’m sure it was very different but I was inspired and did kids yoga with my two this morning.. I would hope yours was significantly more relaxing!

@Mash0917 did you retest today with FMU?

@amey44 I hope taking the break from the stress of ovulation testing gives you real rest and peace. It's so stressful. I had got so sick of peeing things and interpreting tests!

@peanutForever how are you? I remember on the last thread you had light spotting early on and had been prescribed progesterone and aspirin ( I think that was you, sorry if not). I'm in the same boat, 4+5 today. My spotting and cramping has appeared to have settled for now but I can't quite relax about it.
