Hi ladies,

Thought I'd start a new support thread for those of us who have got/had AF this month and are still TTC. Please let me know if I've missed anyone out.

Here's to this month's journey being full of baby dust for all of us!

@AureliaRose congratulations!

@AureliaRose I am so pleased for you. Many congratulations and all best in your pregnancy xx

@ViL89 I use natural cycles to temp and do OPK twice a day. Usually around 11 and then late afternoon. This month I had sex two days before ovulation and the day off and I got my BFP! Only takes one!

@ViL89 @Charliecircle11 @Pasha82 Thanks ladies. Was a bit worried as I've had back ache cramping today and yesterday. Yesterday was super stressful as I had to take my mum to an oncology appointment at the hospital, so I'm trying to stay calm today.

@ViL89 I recommend BBT charting. I did it for the first time this month using the Premom thermometer and app. Apart from that I used the Clearblue Advanced Monitor which stops asking for LH testing after reaching peak surge. I've attached my BBT this month so you can see. It's really easy to take and chart each morning. I wonder though if implantation only took place yesterday, which is quite late hence the dip and the cramping. Not sure if HCG would show up so quick, so not really sure!

Thanks @Charliecircle11

It takes a while to get into the swing of things I think will carry on doing natural cycles bit start temping this time and more opks

Sorry. This is the chart!

Hi ladies, can I join your thread? I'm 37 years old and about to start my TTC journey for #3. I can't decide which day to stop taking cerazette as I have a little holiday coming up and would rather not have a withdrawal bleed then. I have stage 4 endo and have just been diagnosed with adenomyosis. I also have an endometrioma so I imagine I will be in these forums for a while lol. Huge congrats to you ladies that have your BFP 🥳 and baby dust to all in the TTC gang this month ✨ xx

@AureliaRose congratulations!!!!

@ginandgiggles Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm having a weird month.....almost impossible not to symptom spot when I'm having new things crop up!

I had bad cramping and some spotting on CD17
No positive OPK's just faint lines from CD 8 onwards
Then brown spotting / discharge (TMI sorry) yesterday CD 24
I'm due on this weekend I've never had spotting before especially not starting on CD17!

I cant work out whether my body is having a laugh lol / covid jab effecting me / or maybe I might finally be getting somewhere with TTC

So all will be revealed by the end of the week!

How is everyone else doing
@AureliaRose and @Charliecircle11- how are your BFP coming along!! bet you're still on a high!

@ViL89 hope you get your BFP, sounds promising 🤞 I’m ok thanks. Was due on last Tuesday and nothing yet, so kind of relaxing a bit more. Told our parents which made it a bit more real. My belly is massive already, so bloated, so glad I am still working at home!! No other symptoms. Did another test at the weekend and was still positive and the 1-2 I got previously on the digital test, had changed to 2-3, so hopefully that’s a good sign that it has stuck

Thanks @Charliecircle11

Yeah seems so but I am an absolute master at convincing myself of anything haha so I'm not so sure!

That's amazing, it's defo a BFP then, the 2-3 weeks must have been so good to see! Imagine it's nice to be at home during this time hopefully you don't get any of the not so nice symptoms

@ViL89 I get that completely, just keep yourself busy and try not to stress too much ❤️

@ViL89 I'm good thanks. I spoke to the doctor who is calling back in a few weeks to see how I'm getting on. I thought I would have a blood test, but he said it wasn't needed. I'm not line tracking with pregnancy tests, so I've booked a private early scan at 6 weeks to see how things are. Had quite a bit of cramping and sore breasts, and strangely for me a lack of appetite! Also finding it hard to sleep, but no other symptoms. Very excited, but still trying to get my head round it as it's my first time. Baby dust to you all. X

Congratulations to all the BFPs wishing you all healthy pregnancies.

My Af is due this weekend currently 12dpo had some light cramping at 6-8dpo but nothing since, will wait to see if AF arrives as I don’t want to early test as stress myself out.

Hi @LeeTTCRainbow me too think I'm 10DPO

Well done on not testing I caved and got BFN yesterday so doing the same now

I'm spotting a lot now tho so think I'm out this month agaaaaaain

Keep us posted 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@ViL89 I’m sorry to hear, but your not out until she shows, spotting could be implantation so don’t lose hope just yet.

I’m just feeling abit frustrated this month is last month before my due date for first pregnancy and I just really wanted to be pregnant for it but feel like I won’t be and I’m scared I won’t get that moment again seems my body is all over the place.

AF has arrived so it is officially CD1 of Cycle #1 for me! So excited to TTC again...although the edge has been taken off it a bit as I think I may be away with my best mate over most of my fertile week 🙈😫 will have to see what happens as my cycles are still settling so maybe we will still have a chance this cycle 🤞

I'm still randomly spotting! I've also caught covid so now kind of hoping I don't get a bfp until I get rid of the virus !! Funny how the only bfp I got was on the covid test 🤣

Following @AureliaRose's great BBT chart... here's my completely loopy chart! It's also my first month tracking BBT and it's not really showing any clear ovulation, despite EWCM. I also spotted yesterday when going to the bathroom. I'm baffled! I think we're going to get in touch with fertility doctors soon as this is month 6 TTC with no luck.

@ViL89 I'm so sorry to hear you've caught Covid! How awful for you. Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery. x

@BritInNZ Which thermometer have you been using? Also, I know this is probably a silly question as I'm sure you have been, but have you tested at the same time each morning? I found that sometimes if I got up in the early hours to use the toilet, then that could affect the reading.

I live in NZ so there's only one option for me to buy! I've got surgipack thermometer. I do the same time most days, half an hour give or take. But was told by my acupuncture woman if that happens I can +/- 0.05 to account for the half an hour. Maybe my thermometer sucks, but there's not many options when you live in such a remote place 😂

Hi all

AF has also now arrived so I'm out for this month. Covid and AF what a weekend. Going to focus on recovery as its floored me be safe out there ladies this is much much worse than I had anticipated.

Will try again for next month good luck everyone

@ViL89 sorry to hear you’ve got covid and your AF arrived talk about a slap in the face, here’s hoping august is your month, take care xx
