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!

I am not too sure *@entrytohr*, I know I used to symptom spot so much I would convince myself from 2DPO I had symptoms, it wasn't until someone said that it's too early for symptoms I tried to stop symptom spotting.

But I think any symptoms different to the 'norm' for you, is good, so I think definitely think positive.

@Mrsdb90 I can't defiantly see faint lines on both of those without needing to squint! Fingers crossed for the FRER tomorrow, keep us updated!

Thanks, I'm wondering if I could have ovulated early as it feels too early. Either that or I'm just losing the plot. The nausea I'd have put down to being tired but my boobs are sore enough that I'm finding I'm having to wear padded bras to prevent anything catching them

@entrytohr I think all sound positive, especially if you could of ov a few days earlier!!!

@LeeTTCRainbow thinking of you today, I can only imagine what a sad day it is! Sending hugs ❤️

@LeeTTCRainbow thinking of you. xxx

@LeeTTCRainbow can’t imagine how hard today is for you, thinking of you 💐

@purpleskyssssss i will do. I done another cheapie this afternoon completely different brand and seems to have come up too so really keeping everything crossed 😊

@Mrsdb90 congratulations! xx

@Conundrum12345

Can I join this?

Hoping this month is the month, however will test in August.

Had a MMC in March that went on for 3 months and 5 procedures as well as an infection.

Hoping to get our rainbow baby 👶

Me too, your story is the same as mine.

Good luck for this month, they say you are really fertile after loss (that's what I'm telling myself).

I hope we get our 🌈

Thank just hoping it sticks. Will do a digital this weekend if I get a line on frer. I made a few changes this cycle and took individual vitamins (omega 3, b50, vitamin c, vitamin d, coq10, folic acid) so I had higher doses and it must have helped as each cycle I was having a short LP.

Well AF arrived this morning after a 33 day cycle 🥺. So the PMS symptoms were just that, and the few days delay was confusing but never mind.

Hope everyone else has been bearing up with their disappointments. Congratulations to those with BFPs and faint lines, which hopefully get stronger and stronger. My heart goes out to those waiting for their rainbow babies 💖

So I had a MC in June at 6+6 and it is by far the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I got my first period 23 days after my MC bleeding stopped.

Now I am waiting for my next period but am 5 days late. I’ve been testing like a crazy person and all negative.

Can I say something? As much as I am soooo ready for a baby I am soooo over trying. I am tired of peeing on sticks. Tired of scheduled sex. Tired of the disappointment.

Did I mention that my best friend is 35 weeks? Fml honestly. I hate everything.

@Speccybibliophile AF arrived for me too, was so miserable. Feeling better today and looking forward to seeing the specialist next month.

@LeeTTCRainbow so sorry, hope you're doing ok today xxx
@entrytohr oooh it's so hard not to symptom spot. I felt really sick month one and had what I thought was implantation bleeding... but it's so hard to tell if it's in your mind or not.
@LadyoftheWoods aaah welcome to the party ! I hope it all goes well for you this month. Is it your first time trying? Have you been on contraception for a while? I came off the pill in January but just timed DTD to my least fertile times until we were ready. Now we're ready.... HURRY UP PREGNANCY

Anyone else not get any ovulation symptoms at all? I used to get abdominal pain during ovulation before I went on the pill (it's been 18 years of taking the pill though ) but now I get absolutely nothing obvious. Maybe CM but honestly I can't work out what the difference between egg white and sticky is. No sore boobs. Nada.

@LeeTTCRainbow been thinking of you today.

@Mrsdb90 congratulations on the BFP. Keeping everything crossed for you.

I've just ordered a fertilily. Wonder whether the fact that everything's "expanded" a bit down there since having DD has meant that his sperm are getting lost .

Hey, new TTC'er here! Trying for my second baby as of this month! Just waiting for AF to arrive so I can start!

Sorry quick extra post to say abit about myself. I'm 25, my son is 2 next month. I had a Mc last October so we decided to stop because I needed to let myself get over it. Finally feel ready but super nervous. Especially as bad my first jab 4 weeks ago and heard it cAn mess with menstrual cycle x

@graciepoo I’m sorry to hear about your MC and that you’re feeling so deflated!

I’m so over trying too! I hear ya! Hope it’s good news for you soon!

@graciepoo easy for me to say (I’ve only had 1 month of TTC our first and was gutted when AF turned up a few days ago) but just have regular sex, and stop testing. Don’t stress too much (🙄). Sending you lots of love xx

Just finished AF and going to start tracking my ovulation this month, this is the second month of TTC for first time. I got the clear blue 4 day ovulation tests, has anyone tried these? X

Hi girls, im back, thanks for all the lovely messages yesterday was a tough day but i made it through, so weve had a chat and made a change to our ttc journey and decided not to track ovulation this month, just dtd alot to hopefully cover, i have the wedding to focus on ( 3 weeks on sunday) and hoping a more relaxed approach will help our chances, wish us luck and good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxx

Congratulations to all the BFP! Completely understand the disappointment with the BFNs too.

AF arrived today, my shortest cycle ever at 25 days. Thankfully my luteal stage is 13 days though. I’ve noticed it’s been shorter and shorter since I had my second jab (but it was totally worth getting vaccinated!!).

We try again, I started OPKs a bit late, I think I barely caught the peak and we hadn’t DTD enough to catch the egg. So, we do OPKs early and I will track BBT. We will also try DTD every other day. That’s how we caught it with my daughter. I ovulate in about 13 days. Going to enjoy this strong coffee and a wine tonight.

Hi everyone, can I join? Kind of started TTC this month for #2 but not a clue when I ovulated, thought I had EWCM last week which fitted in when I thought it would be but then I’ve had loads this week and didn’t DTD so not expecting anything this month, so will start trying properly next month!

I have a 15 month little boy, it took us a year to conceive him.

Not planning on really tracking anything to start with, just need to find the energy to DTD more often.

Good luck to everyone in the TWW and congrats to everyone who has had a BFP this month.

@wellitywell yes it's my first time! DH and I have been using condoms/ natural contraception for 7 years so I'm pretty sure of my cycle. I definitely get CM changes when I ovulate and feel more "up for it" but I don't get any pains or anything. I get sore boobs and bloating when af is due so I bet I'll be wondering if I'm pregnant and getting carried away!

Congrats for all the positives!

I got a BFN yesterday, and AF started today. I'm actually feeling optimistic about it, this cycle was my first off BC and was exactly 30 days, the same as when I had the implant. Knowing my cycles aren't completely messed up is a big relief (and makes logistical planning for next week's holiday much easier!)

Hello I hope it’s not too late to join.

It’s my 2nd ttc but I’ve spent the last year tracking my periods etc. to help. In a cruel twist of fate last month, my period was late which got my hopes up. But it was due to the covid vaccine and I’m now around two weeks late with just spotting! Anyone in the same boat?
