TTC September 2020 Bus

[samantha06]

Good morning everyone!
Ive been on a few threads now since i started ttc baby no.3 in june.
Unfortunately in August i did get my BFP, but it ended in a chemical pregnancy, so back on another ttc thread with all you lovely ladies.

Share you stories and join!
My next AF due 20th September.

Sending you all baby dust🥰

😂😂 SAME! I think of that too. No you're spot on, I'm the same and I'm 29.. I'm learning so much atm! X

@beckyBP oooh we are similar ages! How long have you been TTC? I've probably already asked this so apologies if so!

All good @Theawkwardblonde we started in July so 3 months. I know that's not long but it's already exhausting. We were meant to get married in June but you know, rona ruined that! Now it's the dilemma of rebooking or waiting to see what happens with TTC. We've decided that a family is more important to us xx

@beckyBP aww that sucks re the wedding. Hopefully you conceive soon! I was already done in after a few months TTC 🤣 it took 6 months to get our first positive which I thought was an age!
I've got friends who've conceived after so many different lengths of time. My friend has just gotten pregnant after 13 months, my other friend 1 month, and another 3 years! It's breaking my brain.

That's so so hard @Theawkwardblonde and you want to be happy for them, well you are but it just hurts doesn't it! X

@beckyBP i was the same!!! Tbh been so lucky it would seem with my first 2 children! Been trying since may, had a chemical last month, so far sore/sensitive nipples, achy boobs, AF was due yesterday, nothing yet. Tested this morning still BFN🥴 not sure what's happening!!

I also have just had to change all wedding plans, was getting married in a beaut venue 20.11.2020 that now cant go ahead as planned, weve cancelled everything, booked the local registry office for the same time and date can you believe!! So we will be getting married this year no matter what!

AF is here, another month 😒 so much for being more fertile after a CP! Not in my case. 😔 honestly so so fed up with the whole ttc process

@beckyBP cheers 😊
@samantha06 oh no! Sorry to hear that! If wasn't the case for me either to be more fertile after my chemical 😞
Fingers crossed for next month!
Ps-means you get to start a new thread 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Oh no that sucks!

I am due on Friday. No pregnancy symptoms so I am sure I am not pregnant.

With every AF I try to console myself that a BFN is still not as heartbreaking as a miscarriage. I had two already😥. We will get our sticky BFP soon🤞

So sorry to hear some of you have AF arrive. This seems like a sad thread so far. We need more BFPs!

I’m so fed up and confused. I’m not due on until the 2nd October but I have no idea what is going on with my body.
7 days of flashing smiley, then solid smiley but the lines on the actual stick didn’t look positive. I randomly did an opk this morning and it looked like a peak. Test line stronger than the control line. So am I ovulating now or did I ovulated a few days ago?
So fed up. A friend has announced her pregnancy and the gender of her baby so she must be roughly as far on as I should be if I hadn’t had my miscarriage Last month.

@MamaPheebz yes I was thinking it's not a very successful thread unfortunately 😞 I think it sounds like you're having your peak. A peak period can be 2 days so that may explain the static and the opk,

It's so hard he hide disappointment when friends announce pregnancy 😞 you're happy, but I always feel a piece of me has died inside when friends announce pregnancies.

Ttc conceive is far more stressful now than with my son a miscarriage. Probably because I’m so desperate and my body isn’t quite behaving like it used to.
This is my opk today. I got static smiley 5 days ago but the lines weren’t positive. Do you think I’m ovulating today. I have one sided pain so I’m thinking likely. Does that mean tomorrow is 1dpo?
Why is this so complicated?

Today, 10dpo and tmi bit of blood in knickers. Good news or bad..?!😬

Last cycle AF arrived at 12dpo with a 28 day cycle and couple of days of spotting.. The cycle before was 36 days (don't know how many dpo as wasn't doing opk).
Wish I was a clockwork gal!

@MamaPheebz I'd say yes you're likely ovulating as it's 12-48 hours after your first detected peak. I may be wrong but I would class tomorrow as 1DPO.
I do think TTC does mess up your body! I've never had irregular periods or strong AF symptoms until I started TTC.

Yeah I think you are right. Ditching the Clear Blue next month and just going to get some normal strips.

I don’t think my body is ready to conceive this month. It’s all too confusing. I usually have a standard 28 day cycle but i’m on cycle day 19 so I’m ovulating late.

I posted last week that AF was late, I had symptoms but I was still getting negatives, that changed tonight.

This mornings test was a negative then these....

AF 10 days late.

@ER20 wow congrats!!!! What symptoms did you have other than late period? You must be excited!!

@Theawkwardblonde! Thankyou! We are.

Really tired like falling asleep on the sofa during the day and in bed super early for me, feeling queasy and not fancying food and the main one a really aching back, had to have a hot water bottle on it.

I knew it, straight away but tests all said negative until today!

@ER20 over the moon for you. I took an early test last week which was negative, no AF just yet. Lots of tender nipples, cramping, needing the toilet all the time!! Hoping for the same outcome as you!! Xxx

Yayy congratulations!!!

Morning ladies!
Can I join?
CD1 for me 😭☹️ AF arrived cd30 after a 33 day cycle last month 🤦🏼‍♀️
TTC #2
This will be month 2 of TTC!
Think I need to up my game with opks I don’t fully understand them if I’m honest. I didn’t get any peak this month around the time my app says im ovulating just negatives so don’t even know if I’m ovulating. Any help appreciated xx

@Emc16x thankyou! Hope you get your BFP too, don’t lose hope, I was 10 days late and even the test I took in the morning was negative?! So strange. Then at 5:40pm all positive. Xx

@MamaPheebz Thanks so much xx

@ER20 many congratulations!
Wow 10 days late to get your BFP. Gives us all hope! x

I'm 11 DPO and been getting pinching sensations for last couple of days. But I've also had this on previous BFN cycles which carried on after AF started so I try not to take notice anymore. My temps have been higher than normal this month and very stable which is very unlike me. I'm not sure if it's the Pregnacare I started this cycle tho. Oh the confusion. Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?

Anyone else charting who noticed a change in their chart due to Pregnacare or BFP? x

Hi all,

Been following a while (mostly late at night when I'm left with my thoughts!!). Glad I'm not the only one who thinks constantly about ttc!

Congratulations to all those with bfp!

Stickytoffeepudding1991 I'm similar- ttc baby 2, 34 day cycles and 2nd month of trying too! But into opks so let me know if you need any help understanding them. Although this month I had 8 flashing smileys and no static 😔 so not holding out much hope. We did bd during cm changes so hoping I just missed my surge. Anyone else ever had lots of flashing faces and no statics?

Best of luck to all those on their 2ww.

If it helps for those using the digital OPKs I have a pic of my cheap strip opk progression. I tested on CD7 and then CD10-15 with strong positive lines on CD13 & 14 and very faded on CD15. I tested twice each day except for the stronger days where I tested 3 strips per day. As you can see it took a big window of testing to get a strong positive. I hope this helps those of you getting flashing smiley's for days. Or at least a comparison for you. x
