Thought I'd start this one. This is my first bus and would love to chat with other's TTC in August.

Stats:
Age: 26
TTC number: 1!
Cycle: 1st officially TTC, although was a chance last cycle
CD: 6 of 27-29 day cycle
BFP/AF due: 2nd Augst

I'm trying to really prepare my body as much as possible for pregnancy. Trying to lose some weight and strengthen my core and back as I've got crap core and lower back muscles which worry me a bit in terms of pregnancy

Spotting has started early this morning my heart rate has dropped too so I'm out for this month again 😕 good luck everyone fingers crossed for you all xx

Hey everyone, hope you are all holding up well - I'm now 5dpo and trying so hard not to let my symptom spotting go into overdrive. Now that I'm on cycle#2 of ttc, I'm less excitable than last month, hopefully that makes me chill out a bit more. I'm getting into using ff for charting - so at least that is keeping me distracted!!!

Hello ladies
Do you mind if I join you and ask your views!? Had two losses this year-last month early 4 weeks and probably 10dpo (ish!?) now and just tested (my last one in pack after going crazy last month with my line fading) . I see a faint line but thought it was meant to be more central? Is this likely evaporation? Mind plays tricks in this game! Don’t think I’ll test again now as don’t want hopes up/down again :( can you see it? Good luck to all!

@Moonriver83 oooooooooooooh that looks like a really good line!!!!

@Moonriver83 oooooooooooooh that looks like a really good line!!!!

Lubilu28 · 05/08/2018 08:33

@Moonriver83 that looks like a positive to me 😍

How many dpo are u??

I’m only 9dpo and I’ve done a test, I feel like I see a line but there is nothing there!! Going to wait a couple of days and do another :) x

em254 · 05/08/2018 08:48

Morning ladies, 11 DPO and another BFN! after yesterday I thought today might be the day. My AF symptoms that I felt 2 days ago have disappeared completely so I started to hope it was implantation cramps. We didn’t DTD at the right times so I know in my heart of hearts that this isn’t my month!

@moonriver83 that looks like a positive to me!! 😀

Fingers crossed for all you other ladies!

Moonriver83 · 05/08/2018 08:56

I’m about 10dpo? But not really sure as early mc last month changed dates slightly! Last month I noticed the line come and go and I tested a lot!! I just knew something wasn’t right and had cramps so not going to test again as I guess what will be will be. Oh yes Lubilu def test again in couple of days And fingers crossed for you x

ununpentium · 05/08/2018 09:08

Cycle day 26, negative pregnancy test. Not even a faint line! Might wait until CD29 to test again.

LulaRose · 05/08/2018 09:09

@Moonriver83 That's definitely a positive, how exciting!

sbhf1987 · 05/08/2018 09:29

@Chanel05 & @ImpatientMammy sorry to hear this have everything crossed for you next month xx
@sunpickle good luck to you I’m going to try not to google in the 2WW just stick to this forum. I’ve been away 1 hour and I’m 1dpo so starting well 😂 LOL

@Moonriver83 looks like a line to me I would test again in 2-3 days too for a stronger line x

According to opk’s I ovulated yesterday, for my sanity I’m going to try and stay off google through the 2WW. Any tips? Lol x

Wishful30 · 05/08/2018 09:34

Ugh now I'm confused.

I usually get one, maybe 2 days positive LH surge...
I had a negative Friday morning. Injected at lunchitime.
Positive Friday night and say morning.
IUI sat linchtime (prepped sperm only lasts about 5hours)
Positive LH surge last night and this morning.. does this actually mean I've still not ovulated 😣

Poor DH last night was so tired but managed to Dtd as I said if I've not actually ovulated then the sperm from lunchtime will be dead and pointless 🤦🏻‍♀️

LulaRose · 05/08/2018 10:49

@Wishful30 I don't know anything about IUIs, but could it be that you had a slightly longer surge and are ovulating today or tomorrow? What are you using to detect ovulation?

@sbhf1987 I'm terrible during the TWW but the best thing I do is try to keep busy. Boredom leads to thoughts racing, which leads to a lot of googling - at least for me! Hope it goes quickly. Looks like I'm ovulating today or tomorrow, so I'm joining you! What day are you testing?

I got a peak on my fertility monitor, and I'm so happy and relieved. I was worried that after my chemical pregnancy two weeks ago, my cycles would be messed up. But it looks like I'm back on track!

Wishful30 · 05/08/2018 11:09

@LulaRose
I'm using the clear blue advanced monitor, clear blue digital sticks with smiley face, and my eyesight...
it's the first time Ive used the injection to make me ovulate 'on demand' if you like, but all it's done it's give me a longer LH surge 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wishful30 · 05/08/2018 11:10

I'm also using 2 separate apps and temping

(Been going over a year now, so feel I know my body quite well)

LulaRose · 05/08/2018 11:19

@Wishful30 you're like me then, using every possible way! 😅 I also use the monitor and advanced tests, cheap internet opks and temping. Looks like you've covered all the bases though, and good you managed to DTD yesterday!

sbhf1987 · 05/08/2018 11:57

@LulaRose I’m not sure you? Part of me wants to wait til AF is due but not sure I’ll be able to. I had a one off longer cycle last month (31 days I’m usually 27) so not sure whether I’m going to want to believe a negative result if I test before AF x

Wishful30 · 05/08/2018 12:16

@LulaRose
And this morning lol prob tonight too 😂

DH is more desperate than me to have a baby so I've showed him all the positive LH tests.
He was so knackered last night and actually moaned about having to have sex, which was hilarious as we were both just so tired.

TheMagicTorch · 05/08/2018 12:35

@Wishful30 that's so funny- so good that you can laugh about it! My DH wants a baby more than me too, which is actually lovely.

I'm 8dpo today and although I'm trying really hard not to symptom spot my nipples are so sore 🤔

LulaRose · 05/08/2018 13:39

@sbhf1987 I'll try to wait until the weekend of 18/19 August. I tested early last month, got a positive test at 8dpo, and my tests were getting increasingly dark, until a week later they were negative Sad i want to spare myself the agony of that, and i'll try to avoid testing early again. But I probably will anyway haha!

sbhf1987 · 05/08/2018 14:04

@LulaRose so sorry to hear that, that’s what worries me too about testing early. Promised myself I wouldn’t let myself get stress and obsessive but c1 and I’ve failed already 🤦🏻‍♀️

chocolateaddicted · 05/08/2018 15:40

FP got me. Back to square one. However this time doing it alone so going to have a break for a few months.

Lubilu28 · 05/08/2018 17:02

So I couldn’t wait until the morning to do another test (I have no willpower) and I swear I can see a vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvfl!! What do u guys think??

I’m only 9dpo so obvs still very early!!

If u tilt the screen a little and squint u might see it haha xxx

@chocolateaddicted
Sorry to hear that 😞

Sounds like a good idea. I did that for a couple of months. Gotta find your sanity before you loose it completely. 🙃
Fingers crossed for next time

Lubilu28 · 05/08/2018 17:17

@chocolateaddicted so sorry to hear that hun 💐💐💐 xxx
