Anyone due AF 1st July?

[DawnLaura]

Hey everyone,

Anyone else due AF around the start of July and just about to enter the TWW? I had a chemical last month but got right back to trying so keeping everything crossed for a positive result and a sticky one this time.

Just wondered if anyone wants to join me on the dreaded waiting game.

@Leobaby Thanks lovely. I'm not temping, first month of TTC, trying not to go overboard and start obsessing but that proved too difficult

@kate123cl haha that’s always the case. I’m so bad for obsessing, I think I’m crazy sometimes.
But you said you feel like you reached your peak yesterday afternoon? I’m guessing you didn’t test to see? How do you feel today? Any ov symptoms?

Haha I'm exactly the same! @Leobaby I had a flashing smiley yesterday morning and a strong cheap one in the afternoon, had some pains and was REALLY hot yesterday so assumed i peaked in the afternoon/ evening but had a static smiley this morning and a really dark cheap one midday so maybe it's today I've had some niggly pains but not as bad as usual so I'm waiting for them to worsen lol

What cycle are you on?x

@kate123cl ooo okay that sounds hopeful for today then! Will you be dtd? 🤪 well, I took my copper coil out last year March. We haven’t been actively trying, some months I thought we dtd around ovulation but my cycles were so off and I wasn’t using opks so I think every time I was wrong which is why I haven’t conceived yet. Only these last few months I’ve found out when I ovulate and I was completely off! So this cycle we dtd about 3 days before ov. So tbh I think I’m out this month, but I know there is always a chance. But of course I’m symptom spotting anyway. I’ve just been extremely bloated, cramps and gassy for two days. I don’t normally get this after ov, but maybe I am this month 🤷🏼‍♀️

What cycle are you on? X

@Leobaby Yes, we'll be dtd tonight. Got to maximise the chances🙈 We've dtd every day for the past 12 days so I'm hoping I'm covered lol.
It's funny isn't it how we think we know our bodies then we learn so much more whilst ttc!
3 days is still a good chance, I've heard many positive stories! It's funny you should mention the grassiness actually, when I was pregnant with my first back in 2019 that was my first (and only symptom) along with a couple of sharp pains so this could be a good thing for you! I'm only on cycle 1 x

I hope you ladies don’t mind me joining

I’m due 1st July and had a static smiley & positive OPK yest afternoon (it was flashing in the morning) & then had a really strong positive on the strip about an hour ago.
Have egg white mucus & a cramping pain in my right ovary.

I’m 32 and my husband is 39. It is our first time & we have been DTD every day since sunday & have been using conceive plus & preganacare vitamins.

Not holding out much hope but keeping lots crossed. Reassuring to read your posts & know that lots of us are in the same boat! Xx

Ps. Are you meant to cut out wine with ttc? I am dying for one this evening but don’t want to jeopardise anything!

@kate123cl ooo I think you’ll definitely be covered! Can’t wait to find out your result! And yes definitely I’ve learnt so much lol. Yes I have too! But now I’m think I ovulated later? Or I haven’t ovulated yet?! If that’s the case I’m definitely out. I’m hella confused because I’ve done my temp it’s 37.10 and I done an opk and the LH surge is pretty high? Thing is I don’t get these symptoms when I ovulate, never. So I’m so confused, I’m either going to ovulate later than I thought or, my LH level is taking a while to go back down? I’m stuck. My ewcm has completely stopped. It stopped a couple days ago, is pretty much dry/creamy now. Ugh.

Hello @Willowfalls this all sounds promising! Good luck, hopefully you get your bfp this month! And I’m not sure about the wine lol, I don’t drink alcohol. But I think it would be best if you didn’t? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Leobaby You might've ovulated later! I definitely did, I'm CD18 now and usually ovulate around CD12! Do you have any pics of your ovulation strips at the moment to see how dark they are? Some people say that their ovulation strips always show a hint of a line throughout their whole cycle! I also haven't had much ewcm this cycle🤷🏻‍♀️ The female body is complicated isn't it lol x

Hi, hope it’s ok for me to join!

I think I’m due on 3 July! It’s been hard to pinpoint my cycle after coming off the pill last year. We found out we were expecting at the start of January but unfortunately MC at end of January. I think I have a 33-35 day cycle but had a 47 day cycle last month with a shedload of BFNs. We are trying to be quite relaxed about it all so aren’t super trying but aren’t preventing! I think I O’d today based on pains in my hip and a peak OPK yesterday.

Fingers crossed for you all this month! x

@kate123cl oh it’s definitely complicated and so bloody stressful. I think I ovulated later too. I’ll post the pics up now. Look pretty strong to me though. Gosh, if I did ovulate later than expected then I don’t think I have a very high chance this month! But I will be back lol. X

Not letting me post the pictures fgs.

@Leobaby Lol that happens to me sometimes doesn't let me post pics! can you dtd tonight/ tomorrow? Might up your chances a little! X

Hi @HansBanans ! We're exactly the same with timings pains today and peak this morning (although I think it would've been peak last night had I tested)!

So sorry to hear about your MCx

Hi all, I am also due AF around 1st July. OPK test strips, CM and BBT rise suggest that I ovulated yesterday so just starting my TWW. This is my first cycle TTC for first baby after a MMC. Fingers crossed for all of us! x

@kate123cl thank you x I've never noticed the ov pain so much before so fingers crossed this is the month! Hope these next two weeks go by quickly and we all get our BFPs x

@SweetDreams92 Sorry to hear about your mmc I hope this month is your month! X

I can’t @kate123cl as I’m not with my oh 🥺 ah well. I have read some people’s LH stays after ovulation? Random peaks which go onto a bfp. Wishful thinking lol. Buts it’s okay, if this is not my month I have next month or the month after, this forum will be seeing lots of me lol! X

Hi @SweetDreams92, so sorry to heart about your MMC. Keeping everything crossed for you this month. x

So I'm 2dpo and already struggling with the waiting. How many dpo are you guys thinking you'll test? I tested early and got a BFP last cycle which ended in a chemical so I'm keen to try to hold off on testing early and just wait until my AF date or even a day or two later if it doesn't show up. I'm already nervous thinking about it!

@SweetDreams92 so sorry about your MMC x

@DawnLaura I think I O'd today, going to try super hard and wait until AF is 2 weeks late as last month was torture with that ridiculously long cycle and all it's BFNs x

@HansBanans Good luck lovely. I don't think I could hold off for 2 weeks after AF date, I'm too impatient! But I'm also a little nervous in case my dates are off due to my chemical so might be "late" but not actually late lol, so I'm maybe better trying to hold off longer! x

@DawnLaura I've got my fingers crossed for you! I know, it's so hard. I say I'll try and wait 2 weeks but I know I'll probably be sneaking a couple of tests in on the days before AF is due haha x

Hi all,

I was hoping I could join this thread, i’ve spent a bit of time reading through it all and you all seem really supportive.

So i’m 30 and my OH (other half) is 39. I was on the depo injection for 8 years and recently changed to the pill in February this year - was starting to have issues with it. Recently been seen by a specialist and have found I have a tilted cervix - has anybody else had experience of this? Dr says it should be a problem but at the back of my mind I can’t help but worry.

Came off pill at the weekend (13 June), and have started taking Seven Seas Trying to Conceive. Currently on my withdrawal bleed, so hoping my cycle should come back after that. Due 29 June if it remains the same as before coming off the pill.

Just really looking for advice and to talk to people going through the same thing. I didn't realise there was so much to it before reading these posts!
Xx

Hey all

Hope I’m ok to join. I am due AF 30th June. This is my 4th cycle. Struggling to DTD in my fertile window due to partner working away, but fingers crossed

Good luck all’

@Leobaby I wish I had your mindset, so patient! I'm hoping it's good news for us all!x

@DawnLaura I'm thinking about testing a day or two before AF is due?! I'm not too sure, I'll probably end up testing earlier lol. Sorry to hear about your chemical x

@Hopeful1712 Hiya! I've not been diagnosed with tilted cervix but I'm 99.9% sure I have it! I was researching last night and apparently after dtd, if you have a tilted cervix then laying on your front shortly after can maximise your chances of conceptionx

@MooseyGoose90 Hiya, must be hard with your partner away ttc! Fingers crossed it's your lucky month x
