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!

@positiveovernegative yeah stressing over it never helps! Easier said than done tho

@positiveovernegative oh I hear you!!! I have been terrible this month. Now I am so bloated, really crampy, tired and feel like crap! I had some light spotting today and just want to come on now to start feeling better. I never had symptoms like this before TTC 😩

@SLM1986 @Aims1991 @charl881
DH just told me my boobs look a little bigger after telling him they were still sore 🤦🏻‍♀️😅
Another thing for me to overthink on!

@positiveovernegative I'm pretty sure I've ovulated today and I've noticed so many things that I've never noticed before! Sore boobs?? How come I've never noticed that before! The next two weeks are going to be a nightmare!!

@positiveovernegative haha oh no 🤦🏼‍♀️ we're thinking of doing another test now 🙈 I only had two tiny bits of spotting today and feel so different to normal. I can't wait to step off this rollercoaster 😩 x

I've had cramp most of the day! Everytime I go to toilet I get sad to wipe but nothing there🤷🏻‍♀️ my OH is so convinced It's worked this month like he's so excited 🥺

@LadyoftheWoods haha I make a note of anything in my app then drive myself crazy going backwards and forwards comparing different months 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@SLM1986 🤞🏽 good luck

@Aims1991 when you gonna test?

@positiveovernegative probs Wednesday coz I don't have any tests on purpose 🙈

@Aims1991 not too long! Keep busy tomorrow, I'd be rushing out to the shops haha

Negative!! I knew it would be. At least I don't have any left in the house for next month now 😩 I need to be more chilled about it! So hard!! I just want to understand what is happening with my body I had IB a week ago and now I'm in so much pain with bloating and cramping - I never get this?!

@SLM1986 when is your AF due? I’ve had really similar to you in terms of bloating. CD30, lots of BFNs, just ready for AF to arrive now!

@positiveovernegative yeah I'm always so busy at work. For the last 4 hours I've had horrible bloaty/pressure pains which I think is AF🥺 just thought coz I had been feeling so rotten it maybe was something 🙄

@charl881 due tomorrow. I had very slight spotting today but it's usually more.

@SLM1986 fingers crossed for you! I swear I’ve been bloated for the whole TWW

@charl881 yeah me too. It's so weird! I was convinced I was pregnant - especially after the bleeding a week ago 😕

Hey girls! Have been doing the sperm meets egg method, on CD 18 today which is our last ‘go’ as part of SMEP. We’ve done it 8 times in 10 days. My question is that today when I went to clean up there was blood I think in my discharge/the semen that came back out. It was sort of all a light pink colour. It’s freaked me out a bit do you think I need to go to the doctor?

@storkstalk if you're worried speak to your doctor. I did have this when I was in my first pregnancy which sadly ended in MC (unrelated to the bleeding) it occurred just once.

Another flashing smiley face for me this morning, stuck in a rabbit hole last night I found people had had constant flashing smileys when pregnant so did a test with FMU this am. BFN. So hopefully I'm yet to ovulate and not out this month 🤞🏽

ahhhh the tww is a nightmare!! AF is due this Saturday so only 4 more days to go, and at this point I could take a frer but am really trying to avoid another bfn…
I think if AF nodes that arrive on Saturday I’ll take a frer then, but am trying to wait patiently (🤣) for AF.

@Tjsmjs hope you’re feeling better after your stomach bug. When are you thinking to test, or are you waiting for af?

Anyone else starting testing soon?
Sending baby dust ✨

Onto 3rd cycle without contraception. See what happens next! Hope everyone is doing ok GL to those testing soon and those who have their bfps.

I've a night out at the weekend need to unwind! x

@Lealu AF is due on Saturday for me too! I caved and did a test this morning... BFN as I expected. Gonna try and hold out till Friday to test again. I don't feel like I'm pregnant though, no signs whatsoever. Well done for being patient! Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞 x

@Lealu I'm hoping to test in next few days! I'm always reluctant to test so I never have any in the house. But I ordered some so will get them today

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask for some advice (although I know there is nothing I can do but wait!)

I last DTD on Sunday 1st August (I think), expecting to OV on Monday 2nd August. I then got a second lot of EWCM on around the 4th August I think.

AF was due on Saturday 14th August but hasn’t turned up. I’ve only ever been late before when pregnant. I did a FRER today and got a BFN with FMU and have got BFNs on other tests too.

I’m guessing that this just means that I ovulated late and that therefore AF is late.

If I was pregnant surely I’d have a line by now.

I know that logically if I was pregnant I’d have a positive test by now but I can’t get it out of my head because AF is never late. So I just need someone to tell me that mathematically there’s now no real chance I’m pregnant.

What’s stupid is I won’t even be that disappointed, I’m just getting frustrated with all the waiting and I’ve spent far too much money I don’t have on tests.

I think there is still the possibility of you being pregnant if your period hasn't turned up yet. You may have ovulated later or may just be too early for you. I got a bfp really late with DS like really late! X

@Lealu Been a bit quiet as I’ve been working nights. I’m 10dpo and trying not to test. AF is due on Thursday if I have 24 day cycle again. No symptoms either way now so no clue. I don’t know whether to test Friday if AF doesn’t show or wait until Sunday which will be 14 days after ovulation. I have a cheap and a frer in the house so difficult to resist testing.

@charl881 I had a really weird cycle similar to yours. AF did show up in the end but then I got my bfp the following cycle when I had my son. But you could of ovulated later than you thought so there is still a chance at the moment.

@Capricorn8990 I hope you are feeling a bit better. How long until your isolation period is up?
