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!

@BritInNZ how long are your cycles normally? I wonder if your illness delayed ovulation...

@WantStickyBean they're usually around 28 days. It might have done but who knows!

Good morning all - today is 12/13dpo for me, AF due tomorrow so will test tomorrow with fmu. Anyone else at the same stage? Getting excited/nervous now!

Been away for a few days so just had to resist the temptation to pack some tests in my bag, then couldn't take any sneaky early tests

Morning @RosettaTheGardenFairy I am due af today, took an early test on Thursday but BFN, woke up today with lots of cm any ideas? Does this normally happen day of period due? I have never really noticed this but now noticing everything since ttc

@Aquarius1987 Hi! I’m 34 too and have also been worrying a bit about my age! I wish we’d started trying a bit sooner really. Have been trying for a few months now. There’s lots of post 34 success stories on here though.

So I’m thinking it’s not looking good for this month. Did my OPK tests for the first time this month and looks like I haven’t ovulated (my Natural Cycles app says I didn’t last month either). App puts possible ovulation date as last Monday and other than a couple of small temp rises a few days afterwards, my temp is now dropping. I’m guessing this is a clear sign that AF is on her way? :(

Morning everyone, unfortunately I've had another early miscarriage/chemical pregnancy. 2 in 2 months so back on the TTC bus.
I'm thinking of contacting GP for bloods if it happens again this month but hoping we've just not had a sticky enough bean yet and this month will be the one 🤞🏽❤️

Hi @iknowaly sorry to hear you haven't ovulated this month, I having been tracking, is there any other way to tell if you have / haven't ovulated? My cycles are very regular every month. X

@Aquarius1987 - no idea about CM I'm afraid. For me CM, cramps, sore boobs etc are all exactly the same before AF as they are before a BFP (I've been pregnant x3 before, DS, MMC, DD) that's why I don't test til AF is late. The only different symptom for me is spotty skin before AF and my skin is dreadful the last few days which suggests it's not my month. Still excited to test though, either get a BFP or move ahead for August

@mummytoolive - I'm so sorry, 2 in 2 months is incredibly cruel

Morning ladies. I’m 14dop today on our first cycle. I was very excited to test this morning. Used a ClearBlue ultra early detection…bfn 💔 I’m fully aware the chances of pregnancy on the first cycle is slim, but my hopes were so high. I hadn’t anticipated how disappointed I’d be. AF apparently due tomorrow and no sign of her ugly head yet, but I’m not holding out much hope. Think I’ll be following you to next month too.

I'm exactly the same as you. 13/14 DPO today and a BFN on our first cycle. It's really hit me hard even though in my head I know it's SO unlikely in the first cycle! X

Got my usual PMS symptoms starting now, pretty gutted. Made an enquiry with the fertility clinic to have some initial tests and we'll be heading into cycle 7 now. Just want some ease of mind really! Well... that's if they don't find anything wrong!

@Aquarius1987 I guess not. I used to try and gauge it with my CM but even that seems to be all over the place! It’s good news that your cycles are regular though. That’s got to be reassuring. Fingers crossed that this is your month!

Good luck to everybody testing and re-testing over the next few days! xx

What’s your BBT doing? Mine is still elevated. I keep having little glimmers of hope but I don’t think it’s going to be a good month. Let me know if you get any news!

@iknowaly @Aquarius1987 I'm 34 too . Got a bit upset 3/4 months ago when I realised I definitely wouldn't have a due date before my 35th birthday. But the odds are still pretty good.

@mummytoolive I'm so sorry 💔. I really hope it doesn't, but if it does happen again you will be eligible for referral to the recurrent miscarriage service, early losses are still considered losses xx

@RosettaTheGardenFairy Thankyou 😘

@WantStickyBean Thankyou, yes I had cancelled my cervical screen but rebooked it so going to discuss this with them. I'm wondering if my endometriosis and cysts on my ovaries is affecting my progesterone levels and in turn affecting my implantation but who knows.

Was thinking of trying progesterone cream, had anyone had any experience with this?

Anyone symptom spotting like made coz I think I'm gonna drive myself insane! 🙈
6 DPO and getting this weird like stabby pain on the left hand side. Not quite cramp, but weird!

Hi @mallowmoon93 I had this off and on this cycle which I thought was promising but I also had it last cycle and obviously arrived. Could be the start of things for you though. Keep us posted! x

Absolutely symptom spotting! I've got really itchy boobs this month. 10DPO but pretty sure I'm going to be able to resist testing - so fed up of seeing BFNs.

Hey everyone

I would like to join if that's ok?

So I'm currently 4 DPO hate this 2 week wait! Last month I tested at 9 DPO and was positive but a week later the line faded and ended in a chemical 😭 this is the first cycle of TTC after that and I'm just anxious. I don't want to test early again as I don't think I could take that heartbreak. I also got a mild case of thrush after my miscarriage/period and now currently have thrush again! (2.5 weeks later) Very mild but not sure if it's my ph level being off.

This is my first child and I'm 34 xx

Girls im max 8DPO today and just did a cheap test there not even first morning pee as I’m going for drinks tonight and there is the faintest of lines I cannot believe it !! I’m not going to get too excited after having an mc and chemical back to back but I’m hopeful this line will get darker and this will be my sticky bean!!!! Going to wait a few more days to test with a CB or FRER only then if its positive will I mention it to my Hubbie but I literally can’t believe a line would show so early ! Fingers and toes tightly crossed here !!

@lilkayjay I got pregnant straight after my chemical so best of luck unfortunately for me it ended in a mc at 11 weeks but this is not common so best of luck fingers and toes crossed. Im also 34 but I have a 22 month old. We are still young 😉 my friend had her first baby at 42! You have loads of time !xx

Hi,

I’m 12/13dpo and AF is due tomorrow (but could be anywhere between tomorrow and Tuesday). It’s my first cycle TTC and I tested using FRER this morning and BFN. I know it’s unlikely to conceive on the first cycle but it still doesn’t make seeing the BFN any easier! But as they say, you’re not out until AF arrives but not holding out too much hope for this month so think I’ll be joining you all for August ttc

@FinnsMammy fingers crossed for you! I hope everything works out for you.
I have some bleeding after stopping my pill almost 3 weeks ago, no idea if it's finally a break through bleed or what! I literally jumped for joy and ran to show my husband my knickers, he didn't seem excited at all😂 so I have to share with someone! Hopefully my body is getting back to normal now🤞

@FinnsMammy Sorry to hear that! I never even knew chemicals were a thing until it happened to me! I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is my month I'm going to really try to avoid early testing just not worth the heart ache. Thank you for the encouragement
