Hi everyone, setting up a new months thread for those of us who already know weโ€™re out for August. Iโ€™m going on to cycle 3. Hope this can continue to be a place where we can chat and support one another.

Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it.

Can someone have a look and help me work out my dates though? Took CD1 as first day of bleeding from my last loss. I didnโ€™t track LH or BTT apart from the 9th and 10th (FF had my predicted OV to be on the 11th or 12) and they were negative.

First positive would be 8dpo which doesnโ€™t seem likely, so I moved it to the first day we dtd. But it still puts it at 7 days before my next period was due, and Iโ€™ve had 29-31 day cycles for a few months. Do you think I just OV early and my period would have come early? Or is 7 days before totally within the normal range?

Could be an early ovulation - maybe you ovulated on 7/8/9th? You could have had your surge on the 7/8 and then ovulated 24-48 hours later so the LH tests would be negative and the egg would be there at the time you DTD on the 8/9th.

Oooh congratulations @EmPeEf. Donโ€™t things have a funny way of working out? I really hope this is your time.
@Digby86and @CityKity you are so right about holding off to test. I havenโ€™t any other month, and if this doesnโ€™t month work out I will go back to not testing until Iโ€™m late. I want a nice fast blazing positive to get really excited about, not a little squinter Grin

Haha - yes! Last month really messed with my head not knowing for sure either way and I donโ€™t want to go through that again. Weโ€™re off on an all inclusive hol cd29 though so I defo want to know whatโ€™s going on befire then ๐Ÿ˜‚

fingers crossed this progresses well for you ๐Ÿคž

@ForGiddyDreamer Thank you for your words.. it is hard, so so hard. I should feel a step closer but I still feel so far away from it.

Digby86 · 20/09/2025 21:50

Hi! Iโ€™ve been lurking a bit but just entering TWW so thought Iโ€™d pop up to say hello.

congrats to those with bfps already. Keeping everything crossed for you all.

im feeling positive about our timing this month, but worried itโ€™s going to mean Iโ€™m devastated if itโ€™s not our month.

ive been trying to get to grips with bbt and opks and THINK I ovulated cd 12/13 (lh 0.95 late cd11 then dropped by evening of cd12 and bbt shot up cd14). I think Iโ€™m interpreting that right?!?!

we dtd cd 8,9,11,12,13 so if Iโ€™m right Iโ€™m hoping weโ€™re well covered.

going ti try and hold off until cd28 to test, but donโ€™t rate my chances ๐Ÿ˜‚

I hsd a mmc at 12 weeks earlier this year and a bit of a rollercoaster with an indent on a frer last month so want to wait and test only once the result should be really clear

Muddysocks1 · 20/09/2025 19:45

Ah, I wonder if Iโ€™m just feeling more โ€œnormalโ€ sensations that Iโ€™ve not been having with weak ovulation!

Everyoneโ€™s different so you never know :)

AMBM6040 · 20/09/2025 19:49

@Iris2024thats a great idea, Iโ€™m due the 30th September, hopefully there will be co lots of bfpโ€™s between now and then ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Marvelftw · 20/09/2025 19:21

@Muddysocks1 I have, but I always thought it was my body getting ready for AF or aches from having ovulated (I can get quite sharp ovulation pains).

This probably sounds mad and like Iโ€™m symptom spottingโ€ฆ but has anyone had twinges BEFORE implantation is possible (ie. Like 4/5dpo)?

I had some definitely sensations on the right side on both 4 and 5 dpo, Iโ€™m 6dpo today and felt some other sensations slightly lower down but still on the same side. I definitely know itโ€™s not implantation as too early (pre today at least, possibly today), Iโ€™m wondering if you can ever feel sensation with the egg travelling down? Or maybe itโ€™s the letrozole if my eggs are bigger or something?

Weโ€™ve been TTC a long time and so I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m just noticing normal symptoms, because Iโ€™m being hyper aware because itโ€™s been a while ๐Ÿคฃ

ForGiddyDreamer · 20/09/2025 18:28

Hi girls, I've been lurking a little to see how you are all getting on. @EmPeEf I'm so happy to see this progression ๐Ÿฅฐ I will keep everything crossed for a sticky bean for you โค๏ธ

Congratulations to all with their BFPs this week and good luck to everyone this month about to go into it or in the wait now. I hope you've been doing OK @Iris2024 Trying again after loss is so so difficult โค๏ธ

Muddysocks1 · 20/09/2025 18:16

Iris2024 · 20/09/2025 12:39

Hi ladies,

So lovely to come on to some BFPโ€™s! โค๏ธ @overwork @CityKity wow that line.

My heads been all over the place since the early miscarriage (chemical) hate to call it a chemical as had positive digital and clear lines for over a week. Can you fill me in on your journeys and @blackberryhill

Im in the two week wait and 7DPO today. Been getting hot flushes and feel a little off, my taste is off like last month but donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m coming down with something. Iโ€™m not sure where Iโ€™m at in regards to doing a pregnancy test this month as it was horrific last month getting all those positives.

I was thinking shall we mark our spot on when we will all be testing the rest of September?

Iโ€™ve added mine when AF is due for now!

Edited

Think Iโ€™ll be testing on the 24th ๐Ÿคช which is 10dpo for me

blackberryhill · 20/09/2025 16:07

Congratulations @EmPeEf - I hope this is the one, those tests look promising!

@LilacBow45 I know the Clear Blue date tests aren't always accurate but I've found them comforting too - did one today and was surprised to get 2-3 weeks as well, I was expecting 1-2 based on what I had with my son when I used one on the same DPO. Of course I'm now going to drive myself mad testing for the 3+...

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 15:58

@EmPeEf Awh do not worry at all and thank you for sending the love ๐Ÿ’• itโ€™s always appreciated xx

congratulations! I say that with joyful caution for you and hope that this is your time. Make sure you take it easy and allow yourself to feel all the feelings and have everything crossed for you xx

EmPeEf · 20/09/2025 15:54

Hi all. I hadnโ€™t come over to the September group as I was just tired from the losses over the last few months. Just read through the whole thread; @LaurLou22 Iโ€™m so sorry your BFP turned out that way. I sent some love to your posts so Iโ€™m sorry if it brought it all back up again, and I know just how youโ€™re feeling x

I didnโ€™t track LH or BBT this month. We DTD twice a couple of days before predicted OV, but then decided to take a break to heal, focus on selling the house, and I was going to go back on weight loss injections. Looks like thatโ€™s not happening now! Fourth pregnancy in the last five months but Iโ€™m wondering if this one will stick, as the line came earlier and is progressing this time instead of being faint on 12dpo and just fading away? Itโ€™s been such a shock after making peace with putting it all on pause till next year.

Iris2024 · 20/09/2025 14:59

Lovely news @LilacBow45 how exciting! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@LaurLou22 I know the feeling only too well, itโ€™s really scarred me what I went through. Pregnancy was handed to me and then taken away. We all got each other for support ๐Ÿฅฐ

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 14:54

@Iris2024good luck ๐Ÿ’• going to start ovulation testing a couple of days after AF ends ( currently on day 2). I definitely wonโ€™t be pregnancy testing until my period due date next month. I canโ€™t go through this again. Been so emotional today. Been with family and they all just keep asking me if Iโ€™m ok and that I look tired / fed up and Iโ€™m really struggling to pick myself up again.

LilacBow45 · 20/09/2025 14:50

Congratulations to all the BFP and lots of baby dust to everyone on here!

very nervous about having another MMC. But Iโ€™m encouraged today my clear blue days 2-3 weeks

Congratulations @CityKity and @overwork - so much good news on this thread over the past few days! Hopefully lots of late May/early June babies incoming...

LaurLou22 · 20/09/2025 08:11

Anyone know if aspirin helps with cramping? We have run out of paracetamol and I canโ€™t take ibuprofen and A is the only other option I have :(

CityKity · 20/09/2025 08:00

@overwork Im CD28 (estimated 15 dpo) and held off until now partially so there was no uncertainty when it came to the test. Glad you still have a faint line! Fingers crossed the next one is a clear one ๐Ÿคž

overwork · 20/09/2025 07:51

I took a test this morning using a different brand. There is still a line, albeit very faint. Havenโ€™t bothered to show my painter because thereโ€™s not a chance heโ€™ll see it. So Iโ€™m still cautiously optimistic today! Now I know itโ€™s not a one-off dodgy test, I think Iโ€™ll leave it a few days and then take a final test to try and get my glaringly obvious line.
