Ttc June/July 26

Hi everyone, I’m joining after my MMC in April, right in the middle of my cycle at the moment with ovulation either yesterday or today, so just crossing everything that our efforts this month work!

@Bluesclues1 congratulations!

I am also confused with people trying the sperm meets egg thing and what they mean by this!

Congratulations @Bluesclues1!
I was confused about this sperm-meets-egg thing (isn't that what's always meant to happen?) but now I've googled it I think we'll try it next month if this time hasn't worked. DTD every day of my fertile window felt like a lot and I can see us getting burned out 😂
I'm going to try and be disciplined like you @MultilingualMummy and not test early. I'm not a very patient person though so we'll see how that goes!

I am on cycle day 1, so now onto cycle 2. We're going to be doing the SMEP method from now on and I am happy for another chance.

congratulations amazing news!

Finally the week is here when I'm going to remove my patch! I spoke to my doctor who advised me to keep taking my antidepressants but go on a lower dose.

I'll be removing my patch tomorrow night and start opk testing straight away to see my levels and DTD EVERY SINGLE DAY even though it is bloody hot in England 🥵🤣 ❤️

Good luck everyone ✨️

Congratulations 🥳 💐 xx

Just coming back to say I got a digital positive this morning at what I think is 11DPO - very exciting but also very anxious! Have been feeling odd the last few days - cramping, bad sleep, nausea, sore boobs! Sending everyone good luck 💕

Posted on last months thread before seeing this existed!

Cycle 2 of ttc #2.

Cycle 1 ovulated later than usual, CD18 (usually 16). This month tbh has been a shit show. Usually 32 day cycles. Had to go away for an event with in laws, sharing a bathroom so couldn't start LH testing until CD14 when back and got a 0.7. Dropped and then didn't go back up, then had to stop testing as went to another event on CD20 (was also very low).

Come to conclusion I either didnt ovulate or ovulated early... DTD on CD 10 before leaving and CD14 when back (courtesy of sharing accommodation where shared bedroom with toddler and rest of house including bathroom with in laws). Don't think chances are high 😅. Currently CD23.

Pahaha! Same, it’s the last thing I want to do, I feel gross 😆

I'm on d22 of my cycle. Been so emotional the past few days. Crying a lot about a parental bereavement which happened 5 years ago but feeling extra sad about it the past few days and keep bursting into tears. Also feeling short tempered. Wondering if that means anything. Due to test on Sunday but we'll see if I can wait that long!

@AndyBerrick84 I'm tempted to have sex every 2/3 days. Im kind of glad period arrived as being in this heatwave is not making me want to do anything 🤣

CD7 of the 6th postparturm cycle. Period lasted for 6 days, 1 day shorter than the previous 5 periods. Very happy about it. I slept really well and took my mind of ttc until today. Feeling rested, hopeful and calm. Totally accept either outcome. I have started to watch the World cup 2026 and I support England. I feel very postive beause I believe England team and World cup will bring me luck this cycle. I will know if I get a BFP by 15/7/26. This is also when semi-final matches take place. I will be cheering for England team and myself. 😁

I am sorry to hear that you have been on this journey since 20 cycles ago. I have seen people posting threads here about choosing IVF after 1 year of trying. However I barely know about this. I feel you and I hope you will not lose hope. Sending hugs.

@theotherfossilsister I hope you are feeling better. Try to relax and do the things you like when you have spare time.

It really sucks, doesn’t it? My cramps got so much worse around 3am, so I was straight onto the painkillers. What cycle number are you on now?!
I think I might increase the number of days we have sex this month and just keep going until I'm past my fertile window. I got my peak on day 11 and we had sex on days 10, 11, and 12, so I felt like we'd covered the right days. But as they say, you can do everything perfectly and it's still just luck of the draw.
I really wish it was easier...

I'm on CD18 and now in the two week wait. We DTD every day on CD12-17 and I had a positive OPK on CD15 so I think we've maximised our chances!
I'm fully expecting to be the same as you @StillWingingIt97 if I don't get lucky first time. I know it's completely normal not to but I've heard so many stories recently of people getting pregnant first time. It's hard not to get your hopes up

@AndyBerrick84 I've just started my period so cd 1 for me! The cramping is horrendous and I have work soon. Dreading it. I don't know when ill ovulate so ill start opks when bleeding starts dying down.

Joining as period arrived yesterday, so on to cycle 9. Its cycle day two so will be ovulating sometime next week. How’s everyone get on?

I started bleeding last night so here we go for the next cycle! The cramping is a bit much 😭

I get my implant removed on Tuesday and plan on TTC baby 4 from then. I have regular bleeds on the implant but have no idea if I can calculate my ovulation based on those.. i highly doubt it!

I'll join please! This is second cycle ttc, can't believe how emotionally impacted I was by it not working first cycle (even though I know all the statistics and that it can take time). Pretty much thinking about it all the time and catastrophisizing everything. I'm normally quite a chill person...

Looks like they're rising! Keep testing. When it gets higher - test twice, or three times in that day.

@ByAquaFox keep testing. My peaks go to over 1.5, or 2 if I get the timing right. Obviously not the case for everyone but keep going 😊

@Posypear its premom :) its pretty good to be fair you can also chart your bbt if you do that ( I dont - probably should)
