September TTC thread 💛

Thanks all for your well wishes. And sorry for the BFPs and upset. I'm reading quietly in the background with my fingers crossed for you all 🤞🏻❤️

Thank you pretty sure it was but will keep testing. Good luck everyone x

Ah I’m sorry :( was there a particular reason you wished for a spring baby? I told my husband that if we don’t get pregnant my November I want to take a month off as I don’t want an August due date if I can help it as that’s when our first girls birthday is!

Looks like it could be an evap but keep testing!!

Tested today and got another bfn 😔 I’m honestly heartbroken that i’ve missed another Spring due date:/ Obviously i’d be grateful for any due date but its more the fact we started trying originally for a spring due date and we've missed it yet again :/ Really fed up with ttc

@Muddysocks1 and all others that take aspirin, do you take it every day or just after ovulation? Im thinking about starting it this cycle

Sorry to hear you’re feeling low, but totally understandable. I’m CD4 now. Wondering if I’ll ovulate early because of the letrozole so need to make sure we have sex earlier and don’t miss the window!

8 or 9DPO today and just tested knowing it’s too early but we’ve all been there. Is this an evap do we think?

Morning ladies,
1 DPO today and the wait begins. Luckily we have a little holiday next week so that will distract me for the most part! I really have low expectations this month and we barely caught ovulation and it was all over the place. But never mind!

Morning girls

@Muddysocks1 Im okay, feeling low. I’ve bled and digital now says not pregnant so that’s that. We will be trying again now and will start the LH tests again. Where are you now in your cycle?

@SureLook Im so happy for you darling ❤️ how amazing to see babaa on screen and a heartbeat 💓 I’m hoping we catch again and it sticks next time.

I’m out for August as period turned up today. I’ve been really unwell though so wasn’t testing for pregnancy at all as it took a back seat for the last week.

Anyway just popping in to say hi. I didn’t bother tracking much last cycle, however I think I’m going to track more closely this time around. I’m now into cycle 3 so still early days.

I don’t think I should be giving any of my wisdoms as I’m not pregnant
We’re trying for sex every other day for about 10 days or so over the fertile period. I’ve not tried ovulation sticks but I did dig out my old Natural Cycles thermometer last month and when it finally confirmed ovulation it was later than I’d always assumed so that was useful!
There have been so many success stories whilst I’ve been on here so I’m feeling really hopeful for us (but I’m also 40+ and pragmatic so if it doesn’t happen for us by the end of the year, I think we’ll call it quits. We won’t be going down the route of investigations etc).
Congratulations on the house! We also finally moved in January but it’s a 2 bed so you’ve got to ask why we’re trying for another baby!

Great memory @overwork! We moved into our house (after 3yrs of house hunting) last year, so it’s all panned out.
I didn’t try the first time either so this is all new to me too. DH is baby crazy but I told him that it’s a flat out no before DS turned 2 so here we are! Pretty nervous about all situations, getting pregnant / not getting pregnant so just seeing how it goes really.

Any wisdom from your first months of trying? I’m slightly kicking myself as I started taking pregnacare conceive this cycle and have just read on here that it can lengthen your cycle? I can’t imagine how a bunch of vitamins actually have that outcome, but I suppose it’s good to not be surprised if my period is later than usual.

Ha! Well remembered hi @CityKity. You must also have a lovely just turned 2 year old then! We are going into our 3rd month. I didn’t ‘try’ the first time (now a happy accident but at the time I needed some convincing) so this is all new to me. If I remember rightly you were in a flux with housing at the time? Hopefully that’s all come right for you now

Welcome, @CityKity! Hope you have a very short stay here.

PSA for anyone using Easy@Home cheapie pregnancy tests: I took one last night because I'm planning to test out my hcG trigger shot, and there was pretty much no line on it! I had a total panic that I'd somehow messed up the trigger shot and that I'd have to cancel my IUI, so I broke out one of my expensive tests which immediately showed a clear, dark line. Might just be a dud box I'm using but wanted to warn people (because I'm in the rare position where I know exactly how much hcG I should have in my system because I put it in me with a syringe 😅).

Hi all, I’m tentatively joining this thread and tipping my toe into TTC baby number 2. It’s the first month so I’m not tracking but just trying to DTD as much as possible around ovulation (aka right now). I don’t think we actually hit ovulation day on the nose so let’s see if it’s enough or not in 2 weeks time! My periods are really light these days so alittle bit worried that’s not good in general, but will wait and see!

I found MN so helpful the first time around so here I am back again. @overwork I’m sure I recognise your username from Aug 2023 babies?!
Good luck to everyone waiting for BFPs 🤞

I’m sorry :( it’s such a journey isn’t it! It seems I have ovulated a good 6 days later then usual this cycle which has thrown everything into chaos! Feel like I can barely keep up with my body and it’s strange behaviour nowdays!

@SureLook amazing news :) xx

Oh no, that’s rubbish 😖 always scope for dates slightly out etc or a later Bfp, but I know the feeling well too

@YKM2829 im taking low dose aspirin daily, could help and wont hurt!

Thanks @ChaE05!

@SureLook thats great news 🥰

Possibly 12dpo today and did a test this morning and another tonight. Not a whiff of a line and I can only assume I’m out. :(

Good luck to everyone xx

Today I had a gyno appointment, and my lining is still thin at 2 mm.
Progesterone at 0.36, prolactin 16.5g/ml, E2 8pg/mL, all pretty low.
He prescribed HRT pills containing Estradiol Valerate and Norgestrel.

I hope this goes well.

Congrats @SureLook! Enjoy every minute of it!!

Keep us updated!

Fabulous! That’s lovely to see

Oh wow @SureLookcongratulations! That sure is a beautiful little baby growing in there 🩷
