So I'm pretty much put this month, giving up all hope its happening this month. I know August is still a week away but thought I'd start a thread for the August TTCers.
How's everyone doing?

Still waiting for my lh strips to go positive, following a loss cycles are wonky and who knows how long it’ll be 🤷‍♀️. Fingers crossed it’ll be towards the beginning of August!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully cycles go back to normal soon

Joining from the July thread! Been TTC baby no3 for 8 months now. I have PCOS so long cycles, hoping for ovulation around CD34 but after last cycle was 83 days not getting my hopes up. Just hope it happens some time in August!
Hope this is the thread where we all get our babies 😊

Welcome. Fingers this is your cycle, it must be so frustrating having long cycles. Before I had my kids my cycles were all over the place. Came off the pill beginning of the month still no af but no positive test either

I hope so! They said it could take three months to take effect and I'm on month 2 but you never know.

How long have you been trying?

That would be nice if it happened for you this cycle.
This is the first month trying. Came off the pill 3 weeks ago not had a bleed yet. Had a few positive ovulation tests, did have a faint positive on a pregnancy test last week which is now negative so not sure what's going on there.
Tried awhile for my eldest so not expecting it to happen quickly
