TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

[FlorenceO]

Hello just a thread for people to hop onto and chat - let's hope we all get out bfp at the end of August or beginning of September 😬
Sending good luck to all xxx

Good luck to you too!
This is my first cycle ttc no.2 and AF (or hopefully BFP!) is due around the 28th but my cycles have been a bit irregular since having my DS.

Hey 👋🏼 lovely to meet you @Beaglemum93 fingers crossed for you hun!
Are you taking vitamins? I'm taking vitamin c and folic acid (just supermarket ones)
I had a withdrawal bleed beginning of July when I stopped my pill end of June. My first proper period since being off the pill started 31st July and was very short and light. We bd like crazy last month so I'm worried about there being no egg! 🙈😬
Im eating all the best things I think I can for fertility, but I'm not sure exactly when I ovulate (if I do!) 🤷‍♀️ it's all so confusing, I'm 30 so not young and not old, my other half works away so can only bd in the fertile window once or twice so maybe that not helping. Xx

Hey ladies! Hope it's ok to join.

This is our 2nd cycle TTC baby no. 1!! AF due 21st August (or hopefully not).

This is my first time (today being the first day) using OPKs and I find it really confusing 😂 also taking vitamins/supplements for the first time 🤞🏽

Hi guys, hope you don’t mind me joining in. This is first month ttc baby no. 2. I’m tracking on a few apps but not 100% sure when ovulation is because they all say different! AF due 19th Aug. Also I’m 34 now so starting to feel a bit on the older side for conceiving! Hope everyone gets BFP’s this month.

Hello everyone, Shall I join in?
This is my 4th cycle TTC after MMC in april, fertile window is from 9th August. AF due on 27th Aug

Welcome everyone so pleased to see people joining and we can share our stories or tips! I'm getting impatient waiting for my fertile window haha xx

@Shinea @MissMini @beckyBP so lovely to have you on the thread 😊 sending lots of baby dust your way xx

Hi, this is our 1st cycle ttc again after mmc in March, my psriod just finished yesterday. Taking vitamins but no opks etc

@FlorenceO thank you :) how you are up for ovulation? Using OPKs or tracking on app?

Hi everyone, hope it's okay for me to join 😊 I actually think I've seen a couple of you on other threads but I'm just joining a few - I love talking about all things TTC and we're not telling anyone so I'm looking for an outlet! My husband is wonderful and supportive but only so much of it he can take 😅

We are on cycle 1 of TTC #1 and just now coming up to FW. I just know I'm going to be an awful symptom spotter so looking forward to that starting in a week or so lol. Fingers crossed for a lucky thread!

Hey @somanystars 👋🏽 very exciting!! Symptom spotter over here 🙋🏼‍♀️ it's so hard not to. X

Morning everyone! this is my 3rd month ttc baby no.3 🤞 started officially 'trying' in June.
My AF due August 20th.
Good luck everyone else🥰

@beckyBP I had a couple of cycles before TTC where I wasn't using hormonal contraception to try and get used to what my body does in a cycle where I haven't conceived but I just know I'll be obsessed anyway when the time comes 😅 I noticed you mentioned that you're taking vitamins etc, do you mind if I ask which ones? x

@somanystars that's actually a really smart idea!

Yes of course! This is what I'm taking. I read about them on this blog.. www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647

Xx

Hi ladies can I join? August will be my 2nd cycle. TTC baby number one

@beckyBP Ah thank you! I think we might both be on another thread talking about this 😅 I just went and got some CoQ10 and omega 3 from Savers haha, hopefully they'll work just the same! Plus some gummy multivitamins for DH as we were talking this morning about how we wished they did them for adults and then I swiftly realised they did 😂

@Plm28 hi and welcome 😊 Where are you in your cycle just now?

Hello to all new to the thread since my last comment and welcome - of course you can all join! We are all in this ttc boat together and it's great to have so many on board, I'm hoping we will all be joining a bfp thread together in September!
I'm not using any opks or temp charting. Just going to check cervical mucus for now. My cycles are usually regular but I've not been off the pill long.
When's everyones fertile window and when are you planning to dtd? X

Hi everyone I am new here! I’m ttc this month. I brought the clear blue advanced ovulation test. I wanted to practise using it before I actually started testing properly so took a test sat evening the result was low fertility which I expected. I started testing again this morning as per the instructions that came with the test based on length of my shortest cycle in the last few months, and to my surprise got a peak fertility result. Is this accurate, I am quite early on in my cycle (period finished 4 days ago) so unsure if it’s accurate or not? Any advice welcome 😊

@somanystars we probably are!! 😂 ah well done. You're all prepared!

@FlorenceO my window differs on all apps
Flo is 3rd- 8th

Femometer is 2nd - 8th
Ovia is 5th - 10th

I'm on day 2 of OPKs (just waiting for it to.. load?! Can't think of the word 😂)

Hey @Roelav1 I think it must be. Keep doing it. I'm thinking to get a CB one because I just don't understand the ones I've got!

I’m not sure if I messed it up as the test says it uses the first test to establish baseline levels and then you are supposed to keep testing everyday until you see high or peak fertility. I didn’t test for two days as didn’t think I needed to and then tested today and it’s come back as peak? Just wondering if it’s detected a ‘surge’ in LH because I tested too early before and my levels have since gone up. Once you’ve got the peak result you can’t test again for another 48 hrs. God this is so confusing 😂

@Roelav1 honestly.. it completely baffles me. I don't know why I dont get it.. but it don't 😂

I'm thinking of ordering some opks but have no experience using them in the past - what ones do you recommend x

@FlorenceO According to Ovia my FW starts tomorrow, but I was getting flashing smilies on the Clearblue from yesterday so I'm going to go by that! DTD today and will for the next couple of days I think.

@beckyBP I got some of the cheapy strip type OPKs as well (because I got the Clearblue very cheap as it was going out of date soon so wanted something to compare it to) and they are definitely more tricky! Feels like they take ages to "load"! 🤣

@Roelav1 Despite what I've just said above, could you maybe get your hands on a cheapy one? Just as a sort of second opinion?

I do have some strip ones - I tried one this morning and there was a second line but it was fainter than they control line so I’m really not sure 🤔 I may try another of the strip ones tomorrow morning and see what that comes up as

Oooh good luck @somanystars I hope this is your month! Thanks for the advice will look at clear blue opks - so which days do you test? I've never used one x
