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

@somanystars yeah me too! If I’m out I just want to know ASAP so I can stop thinking about it lol. I know what you mean, I feel like I might be out too, mainly because I took another 2 OPKs and they seem to be getting lighter/staying the same, I think they get darker if it’s detecting HCG. I was really down yesterday when in got BFN so I’m going to hold off testing as long as poss! This acne is out of control! I have 5 under the skin achey spots 🙈

@somanystars sorry for BFNA, its still Very Early days so there is hope.

Woah sorry don’t know what happened to my spelling. I meant your BFN

Thanks everyone! Mood has just gone totally downhill and now I'm feeling rotten 😩 Just want to go back to bed. Keep having loads of super negative thoughts (stupid stuff like "my hair isn't that nice") and even wanted to cry when cuddling my youngest cat because she was purring and I just love her so much 😂 Definitely something hormonal going on. Guess time will tell whether it's the hormonal thing that I want or not!

Sorry to hear about you BFN, but it is still early hang in there!

I tested this morning also, AF due tomorrow and i had some clear blue early detection tests (6 days before period) at first im sure it was negative now im sure i can see a super duper really faint line... but also wondering if are my eyes playing tricks on me!

anyone else got good line eyes? lol.

thanks ladies

@somanystars ahh I know how you feel, I was exactly the same yesterday! Just got to keep positive thoughts in your head, not many will get a BFP this early on so try again in a couple of days 😊

@samantha06 oh it’s so difficult to see isn’t it! Mine looked like that yesterday and I kept thinking I could see a line 😞

@kg87 its super annoying, ive binned the test now if i looked at it one more time i was gona go crazy haha. Im going to have to wait and see if AF visits tomorrow and then to from there. Hopfully i just ovulated late or somthing lol. When is AF due for you x

@samantha06 haha I chucked mine too coz I kept getting out the box and staring at it 😅 Well i usually have 25 day cycles so AF should have visited 2 days ago but I ovulated 1 week late this month (I think due to Pregnacare conception) so it’s pushed my AF due date to Monday 24th Aug on my Flo app so it could be any day now, purposely wearing light underwear all week to check for implantation bleeding or AF lol. When are you going to test again?

@kg87 oh how exciting! Not long to wait!
Since stopping the pill in March my periods have been super regular to the day, so i think irl wait to see if AF arrives tomorrow and if not irl test Friday!
Ive also put mine in the outside bin so i wont get it out haha.
Ive been taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins, had such good reviews online, 4 months so far for me and still no BFP haha.🤷‍♀️

@samantha06 good luck! Hoping it’s a BFP for you in the next couple of days 🥳 my periods were all over the place when I stopped and then they were regular for about 4 months, then I started Pregnacare as I saw good reviews and now they’re messed up again, I think I’ll just stick with folic acid until BFP as I’m too scared to mess up my cycle again haha

@somanystars I feel very much the same as you right now! The TWW wait seems to have really hit me hard this month compared to the previous two and my hormones seem to be all over the place 🙈 ended up hysterically crying last night when my husband told me to try and not get my hopes up too much. I know he's right and he's only trying to help but even so 😂

@EmmaAM @Kg87 @samantha06
Good luck to you all this month!

I've had a flashing smiley on my clearblue since yesterday - first month I've used them but didn't think it'd be quite as soon. On CD9, I'm also using Ovia and tearing my hair out with it tbh. Every time I add a symptom it moves everything on by a day 🤦🏼‍♀️

@bez91
How exciting sending best wishes to you!
Last 3 months ive symptom spotted evey little thing but this month i just didnt. Ive been busy though working and had daughters bday sunday! Shes just turned 6.
But im just unsure, its so soul destroying each time AF arrives or BFN on a stick! Ive almost talked myself down from even getting my hopes up this time haha. Anxiously waiting to see what happens tomorrow😬

@kg87 we can only hope!🤞
Its so hard, seven seas havent messed my monthlys up but i wouldnt say they've helped either haha.
I think after this box irl just go back to folic acid too, these tablets arent cheap and i do wonder if they really make any difference!
I hope you get your BFP this month too lovely, if not irl see you on a sept testing thread haha 🥺

@EmmaAM I had a wee cry this morning too 😅 Not a hysterical one, but I'm very much not a crier so I think it was definitely a hormonal thing, one way or the other! I'm feeling a little better now though, dragged myself out of bed and husband made us strawberry smoothies. He did tell me this morning (first thing he said to me actually) that my nipples looked.... prominent through my t-shirt lol and just a few mins ago he said that he thinks I am pregnant as I've been quite emotional the last couple of days. But he's always thought we were going to catch first time so he's on the look out for it as much as me!

I did say to him though that if this isn't our month I'll not be doing OPKs etc next time, we'll just DTD regularly (no complaints from him 🤣) and try to be more relaxed about it. This has only been my first month but it's so all-consuming!

Thanks @bez91 I really hope it’s all of ours month this time!!

@samantha06 yeah I know what you mean! They’re so expensive and if you have a balanced diet then I think all you really need is the folic acid🤷🏽‍♀️

@somanystars @kg87 @bez91 fingers crossed we all get our BFP within the next week or so!🤞

Hi 👋 sorry to jump on! 1dpo and already going crazy! We didn’t DTD that much in the lead up, but twice on ‘ovulation day’ so not majorly hopeful but still keeping fingers and toes crossed! Hope you’re all ok! Baby dust to you all!!

Crossing everything and hoping I'm pregnant.

AF due Friday, and at the latest Sunday. I think I'm going to wait until Sunday to test. It's killing me!

@rosieb060 I'm the same as you! AF should be Friday so want to test either Saturday or Sunday. I've suddenly started to feel nauseous over the past couple of days but it's not all the time. I keep going back and forth between thinking I could be pregnant and thinking I'm not 🙈

@EmmaAM it's so difficult.

I keep noticing things & thinking - spotting? Nausea? Burping? Cramping on one side? Being really tired? - do I usually feel like this? Then thinking - STOP IT, you're getting your hopes up- you're only noticing any symptoms cos you're so hopeful!

I know you shouldn't be upset if the test is negative but I think I will be.

@rosieb060 @EmmaAM fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Kc19 thank you- and to you!

I'm just so grateful to have somewhere to vent a bit. We haven't told anyone at all and I feel bad going on and on about it to my partner.

@rosieb060 good luck!! I feel the same too, we haven’t told anyone we’re trying and I think my husband is starting to get bored of listening 😂

@Kg87 he feels that it will happen when it will.

I feel like I will explode if it doesn't happen.

We probably should have started earlier to be honest.

I am so obsessed with it, I've even started looking at maternity clothes
