August TTC

[ViL89]

Hi Ladies

Thought I would create a channel for July / August TTC for those who didn't receive their BFP's this time around

I'm on CD2 now after sadly AF arriving. TTC no1 at 32 and this will be Cycle 4

I'm currently isolating with Covid after having 1 jab (which really messed with cycle 2 and 3) expecting DH to test positive v soon!

So sorry if I miss anyone or if you haven't got your AF yet or had a BFP ! But wanted to capture a few people as I've found these channels super helpful!

Count me on the August month! I'll be on cycle no 4 xx

Hi @wellitywell me too, obviously not worried yet but also really hoping this will happen for me soon as my twice postponed wedding party is in September next year. Fingers crossed for youuuuu. I'm going to BD more this month tried to time it to ovulation last month and didn't get or missed a proper positive ovulation so DH (had a small legal ceremony in May) is in for a busy month hahahahahaha

@ViL89 fingers crossed for you too! Defo too early to be worried, but I just like to be efficient! Poor DH has started calling it "the sex rota". I was doing a v halfhearted job on taking OPKs last month as life was a bit busy, so next cycle will be a bit more organised.

Permission to come aboard?!?

I can't tell you how long I've waited for this August "bus" to arrive. I'm 38 and went through a horrible divorce a few years ago and worried I'd never get the change to become a mum. Fast forward to now I've met and fallen in love with a wonderful man and we have decided to start TTC in August.

Baby dust to us all!!!

Hi @wellitywell I'm feeling exactly the same about being organised

Welcome @SherbertLemons what a rollercoster for you sounds like you've found a great guy so pleased for you baby dust to you both

Hopping aboard! I'm 10DPO and took boots strip tests which are negative and getting PMS symptoms. Due on Thursday - Saturday.

Spreading the ❤️

I'm jumping on! Stopped my pill at the very start of July and am waiting for first period/withdrawal bleed. But while I'm waiting we're going to carry on unprotected. I've read alot of this forum and said we'd take the very small chance of getting pregnant before I get a period! Wishful thinking 😂

Welcome @Paintingfences @Capricorn8990

Baby dust for you all and good vibes for us all to stay chilled

I'd like to jump on too if that's okay 😊

Am on cycle 3 ttc number 1. Currently CD 7 af finished 2 days ago.
This will be my first cycle using the clear blue digital advanced kit to track ovulation. My last 2 cycles have been 25 and 38 days long so not sure when to start testing- think I'm gonna go with cd 10 as that seems a middle point on the leaflet with those 2 cycle lengths. Any one have any other ideas gimme a shout 😁

Positive vibes to all xx

@Paintingfences
Nothing wrong with wishful thinking 😊

Thanks @ViL89 😊 looking forward to picking up any info 9b this thread!
I've read almost all the other threads, I feel like I've already gone crazy but I haven't even been off my pill for 4 weeks😂 I'm not known for my patience though.....

Please can I hop on too? I was on the July board as we started TTC in July after a two year delay with one thing and another. Found the July bus so helpful and really good company!

Period due on 1st Aug and hoping not to test until at least the 2nd although I have a feeling AF will show up before I even test

I remember being completely floored with tiredness before my period was late. I thought I had a virus at the time, but it was the beginning of pregnancy exhaustion that stayed with me for the entire first trimester and some of the second. Haven't experienced anything like that this cycle, so think I won't be getting my BFP this cycle sadly.

Hi @Teaandcrumpets95

I'm using the clearblue advanced digital tests, on the leaflet I had it had a calender for when to start. I'm starting CD 8 as I've missed it before!

Hopping on the bus. My cycle length means I'll actually be testing twice in August!

CD3 and the TWW has never seemed longer.

I may tentatively join… I have an almost 15 month old so will be TTC no.2.

So lovely to see many posts on here already. Thanks for starting this @ViL89

I'm 35, just assumed this would be vvv straightforward. Now I'm all up to speed with the acronyms, I feel like I can join in (I was Googling everything, and still not entirely sure what everything stands for)

Hi 🎉

I’ve been in the July TTC but I don’t think it’s our month (cycle 1 so I know it’s very unlikely too!).

Fingers crossed for us all - hopefully we’ll all have BFP by the end of this! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Welcome ladies

@wellitywell you're welcome I needed to just focus on the next cycle and stop focusing on AF 😅 so was happy to start it

Same I thought this would all be v straightforward I've learnt so much about my body and about mumsnet 😅😅

Welcome @Itsjustme20 @WantStickyBean @mrsg101

Baby dust to you alllllllll

@ViL89

Thanks, that's good to know 😊
I might just have to start then and suck up potentially using a lot of tests 😅

I'd hate to miss the window though so needs must lol, fingers crossed I don't have to buy it again next month 🤞

Hey ladies!

I think I'm going to be on the August train! Tested yesterday at 12dpo and it was negative but AF is 2 days late. Last month's cycle was only 24 days versus average of 26 so being on 28 days doesn't seem as promising. Will test again tomorrow if she doesn't arrive, I'm just fed up of seeing negatives :(
My heart aches for those on you who've been on this journey for longer than me - I knew it would suck but I didn't expect to obsess quite so much

Best of luck to everyone 💐🤞

Would love to join if I can?

33, ttc #2, our DD is just over 2 🥰 excited to be actively trying, but been not not trying for almost a year (since my cycle returned to normal).
Just waiting for my mysterious af to make an appearance as currently on CD51 with no sign and bfn 😑.

Sending positive vibes to all!

Excited to jump onboard for our first month of TTC in August!

I’ve been contraception free for a few years now so have really tried to get to know my body and cycles but who knows?!

Good luck everyone x

Hi everyone, id love to join if that's ok. I'm 1DPO on cycle 5. Ovulated earlier than normal this month according to my OPKs so it snuck up on me and feel like I haven't maximised my chances 🙈 I was really hopeful last month and for some reason took it a lot harder than the previous months, feel like I never really picked myself up for this month. Normally find the first week of the TTW ok but the second week is torture 🙈 I've tried not testing and testing early loads, no idea what I'll do this time around. TTC can be so lonely so it's nice to have others to share with. Baby dust to all of you ✨
