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

@BabyH88 me too! Since the very faint half positive on the FRER 2 days ago I’ve only had negatives and feeling like AF might arrive in the next day or 2 so I think I might be out this month!

@Kg87 I am sorry to hear that, it feels rubbish doesn't it, we have it a good shot this month but you just never know. Think we are going to do some fertility tests in the lead up to the wedding so we are prepared to start straight away.

Good luck to everyone moving forward and getting your BFPs. 💕

@BabyH88 it’s so annoying when you feel like you’ve done everything right and then your body lets you down. My doctor said there’s a slight chance I may have PCOS so when I start my next period (whenever that decides to show up!) they’re going to do the baseline scans and blood tests and start cycle monitoring to let me know when the egg pops out so we can DTD! At least we’ll have some assistance next month and hopefully that will be our month! Good luck to every one!

@BabyH88 sorry to hear about the BFN.

Thank you for being so lovely. I wish you all well with your TTC journey 💕

Wishing days away is exhausting!!! I'm on the 2ww, only 4/5days dpo (I think) and it's killing me not knowing anything! I don't know if I'm going to make it to next week to test! 😭😂

I feel like the TTW is harder than actually being on your period. Like I'm GUTTED when AF arrives but then day 2 I feel like I reset and then prepare for the next cycle!

@beckyBP completely agree! 18DPO now and wishing AF would hurry up so I can restart 😅

Sorry to hear about the BFNs guys 😔. Hopefully af won't come!

I'm going to test tomorrow morning at 12dpo with a FRER. Not feeling very hopeful to be honest as I've had no symptoms whatsoever, I had more last month and that was nothing! Will be gutted all the same though as we did smep this month. I'm such a planner, I hate how out of my control ttc is 😅

Hi 👋🏽 hope you don't mind me joining. This is our first month properly TTC, been off the pill for over a year but started using the clear blue fertility monitor this month. AF due Sunday, since yesterday had very light, brown spotting 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not expecting I will fall on my first month! Xxx

Ugh I have PMT from hell today! Full on feel like a whale, snappy b**tch followed by emotional nut case. My work mates are giving me such a wide berth today, or slipping Valium in my tea 🤣

So happy to have saw this (at 4am this morning when I needed a pee!). Can hardly believe it given it was our first month. fingers crossed for you all ladies you all deserve big fat positives !

@MrsBmaybebaby congratulations!!!
I've just done a test, hadn't had a wee for 6 hours so thought that might be concentrate enough, had been really constraint in not testing before and I don't think the test really worked. WTF!!! Ha! But it's ok, I should probably have waited longer anyway but how typical! The control line was very pale and the test line is questionable if there's a line. 🤦🏽‍♀️ so I'll carry on knowing there's hope I might be and AF will either turn up before Tuesday when I next go to the shop for another or not....

Congrats @MrsBmaybebaby! Excellent news.

Still no change for me here, still trying to patiently wait out the 2ww but overthinking every ache my body has, keeping my fingers cross and trying to keep my expectations low.

So ladies I was due AF yesterday and have had the worst cramps for a few days now a lot worse than when I normally get AF. I thought she had arrived yesterday but I have only had light spotting just when I wipe, do you think it could be a light period or something else? The cramps and bloating are the worst and I have felt nauseous for a about 4 days now... this is so frustrating.
Anyone had experience of this?

@BabyH88 Not personally had experience. But if you're past the point which would normally be CD1 I'd totally take a test to put your mind at rest. A cheapy will do. 🤞

Think I will do one in the morning then, thank you x

Ladies, I have 6 days until my period is due, my tummy is cramping a fair bit, my jeans feel too tight and my boobs are tingling like crazy.
If I did a test now, am I likely to get a disappointing result?
It is driving me mad!

@Waitingforbabypage i used the clear blue early detection 6 days before my period was due. Worth a try.

@Waitingforbabypage test it! I got my bfp today at 10dpo but at 9dpo I already had a faint line

Oooh congrats to you!!!
I don't think I'm quite that lucky to catch on our first month trying.

@Waitingforbabypage you never know!

I'm literally too scared!
I want this so bad (like everyone else here I guess) and I have so much disappointment in my life I don't know how I'm going to handle a long ttc journey.
My wonderful other half thinks I'm being really chill about the whole thing, he doesn't know I bought opks to help track the ovulation and the amount of times we dtd etc Or that I'm on here. He'd think I am mental I reckon.

@stepmumSW5 congratulations!! 💕

Guys I have no idea what’s going on with my cycle atm! My cycles are usually 25/27 days but I’m currently on CD41 - supposedly 22DPO although I’m now starting to think I didn’t ovulate on 10th Aug and it was 17th Aug instead as I noticed EWCM and had another nearly positive OPK the day before, this would make me 15DPO instead and I have sore boobs, cramps, gas/bloating but no sign of AF and I haven’t done an HPT for 2 days as they’re always negative, why is this so difficult! 😭🙈

@Kg87 thank you and sorry to hear about your long cycle. I had a 60+ long cycle between July and August due to taking seven seas..have you started taking any different vitamins or have you done anything different?
