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!

Hi @Bunnyboooo sending you lots of baby dust. Was it your 1st or 2nd (or both) vaccine that delayed your period?

I just had my second vaccine a couple of days before I ovulated, so want to be prepared. I had a MMC in May when it was my first vaccine would wouldn't know if it delayed things. First cycle for my since the miscarriage

Heya it was my first. I was shocked because I never knew it was a side effect, then looked it up and saw lots of women were affected! If you had your first without issue I’m sure you’ll be fine

Is 13DPO too late for implantation bleeding? 🧐

Is anyone else taking any vitamins this cycle? I've brought Vitabiotics Feroglobin but not sure if these are helpful or not - I guess time will tell!! They had no pre-pregnancy ones in boots when I went

@StayHopeful it's a bit late. Could you have ovulated later?

@WantStickyBean I had positive OPK on day 14, normally don't get it til day 16 and normally 29 day cycle and today is only day 27, so if this is AF it would be a 26 day cycle which is unheard of for me 🤔 I normally have really bad cramps in the lead up to AF and I had barely any, then a couple today and the spotting. But I did ovulate earlier than normal so it probably is AF and just wishful thinking on my part! I did an internet cheapy last night and it was BFN. AF will probably be here in full flow tomorrow 🙄 thanks for replying x

@StayHopeful I hate it when cycle feels unpredictable too. This month I had a 25 day cycle - haven't had one of those since 2019!

Fingers crossed this feels different for you because something exciting is happening - keep us updated!

Sorry to be that person but any thoughts on this? Not tracking ovulation, according to the app I’m using in 10 dpo but I’m not convinced that’s right (think it is less) so I think it’s probably an evap line but I’m a POAS addict and have some signs (sore boobs, stomach cramps, bloating) so just wondering if anyone has thoughts.

Obviously I will keep testing and get a FRER until I have a proper result but just in case anyone fancies some Friday night line eye activity!

@WantStickyBean why do our bodies like to mess with us 🥴 thanks so much, will do

@charl881 looks positive to me! 🎉

@LadyoftheWoods - oooh exciting! Good luck! Poor DH is not looking forward to next week's "sex rota" aiming for every other day and tonight will be my last night drinking for a bit.

If anyone is trying to reduce caffeine, May I recommend Yorkshire Tea's Decaff- just tastes the same to me 😂

@StayHopeful normally your luteal phase will stay the same so if ovulated 2 days earlier then normal, your period will likely come 2 days earlier... or so I've heard - my periods range from 26-35 but my luteal phase is always 12 days so my cycle length is dependant on when I ovulate.

In saying that I'm sure they are people who have implanted on 13DPO and if you feel different then I think trying to stay hopeful is best! Fingers crossed for you that it is the BFP

@charl881 I haven't personally used them test before, but I can see a second line!! Keep us updated 😃

@purpleskyssssss thank you, I’ve done another and it was definitely negative and I’m not hopeful as I don’t think the timings are right but you never know 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@charl881 that’s a positive test.! When I had bfp it was like that and much stronger than on a FRER. Keep us updated !

@SaraKitty thanks for your kind words last week! My heart wants a baby but it’s been pretty tough around here. I hope you get your 3rd! xx

@SaraKitty Thanks, two BFNs this morning but not writing myself off yet as have also woke up sore boobs which I don’t tend to get before my period. Got some FRERs arriving Tuesday.

I'm CD 12 today and did plan this month on taking a 'relaxed approach' I really thought I had signs ovulation was close, pain and cm but did a clear blue ov test and got a clear blue circle.

I am using the same monitor that I have used throughout ttc (not the advanced one), however I haven't used it for the last 2 months as been taking the 'relaxed' approach - does anyone know if it may of lost all my original data which could be why I'm not seeing a smiley if ovulating?

@purpleskyssssss @WantStickyBean looks like that's true @purpleskyssssss AF is well and truly here 🙄 at least now I won't spent all weekend with PMS but still trying to convince myself I could be pregnant 😂 so disheartening, finding it harder and harder to stay positive about it all. Month 6 here I come 😩

@purpleskyssssss I don’t know if it could have lost your data but what I do know is I conceived both my kids on cycles where I had negative opk’s and I used to test twice a day . First child I used the CBFM , second was cheaper OPK’s . So don’t get too caught up . Especially if you had one month where it worked then you know when you ovulate.

@wellitywell I hope you don't have the rota taped to the fridge!

According to my app, today is cd7 and it reckons I should ovulate in 9 days. When should I start using the opks I've got?

Also, unrelated, but does anyone else keep seeing that video ad on this site where the woman makes some strange chocolate thing in the microwave? It looks disgusting!

Morning ladies.
So I thought I was out this month - tested last Thursday bfn and thiught I started af.
I had a really light for me and continued spotting untill today so did a test yesterday and BFP!!
I went to the drs as I’m super worried about the bleeding and all he said was keep testing as it might be an early miscarriage.
But if I was negative before the bleeding started, and positive now whilst bleeding - that’s got to be positive right?
I’ve booked an early scan for next Sunday when il be 6 weeks apparently x

The shock is another level 😱

It really is disheartening @StayHopeful, I think I struggled the most when I got to around the 6 month mark I knew I need to take a break, so do what you feel you need and enjoy some of those things you maybe wasn't having in the 2ww this weekend

@LadyoftheWoods my cycles length diff with my earliest being 26 days - I always start testing on day 8

@Jhodd congratulations that is fantastic!! Lovely to see, hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

@Jhodd oh congratulations! Good luck, hopefully your scan will provide some reassurance

@Jhodd congrats! I hope your scan gives you some reassurance xxx

@Jhodd congratulations! Hope the bleeding stops soon so you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

@StayHopeful sorry to hear that. I totally get the weird sort of relief when AF shows up though - until it does I convince myself that I'm pregnant each month even with BFNs. It's so so stressful. Hope month 6 is your month x
