September TTC thread 💛

@Marvelftw fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻 that’s fab news

Woohoo that’s fabulous news - fingers crossed!

@Marvelftwhot all my fingers crossed for you!! I remember getting my periods back after my first baby and the ovulation pain and period pain the day before I started bleeding were immense! They’ve gotten better over the months though haha!

I took more tests (there is something wrong with me yes 🤣) and they all have lines on now and are getting darker I think. Trying not to get hopeful!

@Marvelftw thank you, yeh usually quite regular and if not usually a couple of days early so it’s almost unheard of for me to be late. I ovulated hate this month though - about 5-6 days later then usual! So maybe that’s pushed everything back x

Okay, I raided my cupboards for pregnancy tests and I found one but the control line is barely visible itself so I presume it’s out of date! Getting ready to go buy a fresh one because bleeding is still pretty much non existent anymore…

@Marvelftwi’m 13DPO today and period was due yesterday but I’ve been getting these stupid lines for a couple of days now and I just don’t know what to think. The other tests I do are either so faint you can barely see them at all, or there is nothing there, but these wondfo tests keep showing a line. It also seems that my lines are always darker in the evening and not the morning?

I know there’s very little hope now, I would have seen some sort of progression on other. Tests I think by now. But it’d hard not to test ‘just to check’ 😭 what I really need to do is lock the pregnancy tests away and wait for my period to start because I’m not doing myself any favours here..

@underthethree I’ve just got a positive on my ovulation stick so will be busy over the next couple of days 😊good luck to you, let’s hope this is our month 🤞🏻

Hi all!
Thanks for sharing your stories with us!

I had another gyno appointment yesterday. The endometrium is less than 3mm, up .6 since last time. Still too thin, suggesting ovulation/implantation is unlikely occur.
Yes I know, ttc without a cycle is madness!

I'm afraid I will need to wean completely in order to be able to get pregnant (without taking hormones). So frustrating when I am not ready to stop bf.

Just checking in- ovulation in T minus 3 days 😂 I have DH warned that he will be needed a lot over the next few days 😂 best of luck to anyone else approaching OD soon!

Hey! Hope you guys don’t mind me joining. I’m on cycle 4, 3DPO. TTC #2.

Started on Conception Max tablets this month and feeling hopeful, LH peak has been more definite then the last 2 cycles I tracked and previously I have conceived both prior pregnancies (one loss) on cycle 4.

@StayingHopefulx maybe test again in a couple of days, I had some sort of bleed with my first and it wasn’t evident until I found out I was 16w1 at the 12 week scan 🙈

Good luck everyone! 🍀

I’m also spiralling now because when I got my (or what I thought was my period) I did a test and negative, so I started to enjoy the all inclusive holiday we were on, which I had been avoiding drinking for potential baba… now the guilt will eat me if it was implantation…

@Marvelftw to be fair we are only on cycle 2 so I know silly to be disheartened! My cycle is all over the place being honest! how about you?

my period has been seriously light this round, I usually have a really heavy day where I almost need postpartum pads, but haven’t got that yet only one really large gush and spotting… could this still be implantation or is it going on too long I wonder… day 5 of very light pink spotting… never had it with my first pregnancy x

Welcome hun ❤️ I had a very easy miscarriage too last cycle. Had positive pregnancy test and digital and lost just over a week later. It’s shattered me but we’re straight back trying again just like yourself. Sending baby dust and hope we get it again ✨

Here’s hoping!!!🤞 good luck everyone ❤️

So sorry girls, I think I’m spiralling 😫.
do these tests look like they’re getting darker? I’m still barely getting anything on the other strip tests but I realised these detect at 10 MIU and the others are 25.

@7nationbaby I honestly don’t understand that sentiment. It doesn’t matter if you have no children, or a whole brood, losing a pregnancy, or a potential pregnancy not coming to fruition is still devastating, especially if it’s all you want to expand your family xx

@LaurLou22 I’m sorry, it’s so shit and there’s really nothing that can be said or done. I told lots of people this time and it was good in some ways to have people understand why I was being so crabby, but some of the stuff people said really hurt - like oh at least you already have kids

@GladDenimGoose hello! I’m CD11 cycle 1 today too! Good luck 🤞. I’m due AF in 3 days so let’s see how it goes. Not optimistic this month as was sick over ovulation but you just don’t know. My first pregnancy we DTD once and I still don’t know when in my cycle that was. Definitely going into TTC2 a lot more informed!

I do feel very pre-menstrual today so definitely expecting AF to show up, I’ll just be annoyed if it’s late because of being sick this cycle.

@7nationbaby so sorry to hear this, fairly sure I’m experiencing a chemical this month. Good luck to you! X

Hello, I’m joining too - not had a chance to read through everything yet though. I’m cd ~13 but last cycle was a chemical/miscarriage

Please can I jump on this thread? It's our first month TTC our first baby and I'm on cd11. I'm trying to be relaxed (easier said than done) and not tracking ovulation - just DTD regularly. Im not naive to how long and difficult the journey can be but still feeling hopeful! Sending baby dust to everyone here
