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!

@YummyMummyXoX thank you! It’s just so confusing. I’m never late and I have many pregnancy signs but not even a hint of a line. When I had my chemical I had a line really early on and when I had my DS I had my BFP the day AF was due.

Tjsmjs · 17/08/2021 17:53

So I think I’m out this month. Just started spotting. I’m CD 23 today so this will be my shortest cycle yet. So disappointing but not surprised given I’ve been ill and on nights this month. I hope you guys get your bfp this month.

You know they say every pregnancy/cycle is different! X

Anyone due to ovulate any day now?
What symptoms other than EWCM do you get around this time?

Aims1991 · 17/08/2021 19:58

So I'm dying to test tonight but no there's no point until morning. I'm now 11dpo and still no AF! I couldn't get any FRER test I had to get CB and not sure how good they are with early detection? Does anyone think it's still to soon to test 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi! I am! I normally experience ovulation pain/cramp ☺️
mummytoolive · 17/08/2021 20:17

@MrsJ6921 hopefully we will ovulate at similar times and can face the dreaded TWW together 😊
Do you tend to get the cramps/pain at one side or just general?

Celina94 · 17/08/2021 20:37

TWW begins! ❤️

LadyoftheWoods · 17/08/2021 20:58

@Celina94 me too! Relieved we can ease off dtd tbh, we're both knackered! 😂

Definitely! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 - I get cramp on one side quite intense! How about you?

mummytoolive · 17/08/2021 21:08

@MrsJ6921
I tend normally to only get a severe pain for around 20 mins which I presume is when the egg is being released and it's very low and central. This month I've been having headaches on an evening, tender breasts for 2 days and I had spotting last week which I thought was ovulation related but still not got my peak so not sure what that was.

FlipperyGibbet · 17/08/2021 22:29

@Celina94 same here!! Need things to keep me busy. Drunk a lot of alcohol this month due to birthday celebrations, have joked that I'll have had a pickled egg this month Grin

Aims1991 · 18/08/2021 06:23

BFN this morning🥺 12dpo and cd34! Fed up now

Tjsmjs · 18/08/2021 07:14

@Aims1991 Sorry. It really sucks. I tested this morning after my spotting as couldn’t wait any longer. I got a BFN on FRER. At least I won’t be tempted to test next month as won’t have any tests. Now just for AF to show up fully so I can get on with the next month.

Aims1991 · 18/08/2021 07:20

@Tjsmjs I used cb 1 minute which I'm not sure how good it is with early detection 🤷🏻‍♀️ worst bit is I woke up in the night having dreamt I had a positive test🥺

Cb31 · 18/08/2021 07:43

Pretty sure I've had a chemical pregnancy, woke up to a fair bit of bright red blood. Unless it's just an early period. Either way, not looking like my month.

Tjsmjs · 18/08/2021 08:19

@Aims1991 I’m not sure either. I’ve heard mixed things about clear blue and early detection. When is AF due? If not due yet don’t count yourself out completely.

@Cb31 sorry to hear that.

purpleskyssssss · 18/08/2021 09:07

Got my self in abit of a google rut this morning!

I have only tracked bbt for one month and then went onto have 2 'relaxed months' but this month yesterday CD 22 I decided randomly to take my temp (not sure why I did this) & again this morning and my temp is only 97.32f / 36.3c which is very low - so after much googling I've now convinced myself I have an under active thyroid - don't know why I do it to myself 😭😖

I know I may of not of ovulated yet but I had ov pain last week - I think next month I will start tracking again, I think I'm finding not tracking more difficult towards the end of my cycle as have no idea where I am or when AF is due 😖

Aims1991 · 18/08/2021 10:35

@Tjsmjs well unsure when AF is due coz I'm late coz I ovulated late so app predicts Friday but I'm on CD34 and normally only 27days. But only ov 12 days ago.

xClaire · 18/08/2021 11:05

Morning ladies

Hoping to jump on this thread for a little support. Last three years I've had two MCs and an ectopic leading to loss of a Fallopian tube.

I'm now 5 days late for AF. Been feeling some sensations in my stomach but not what I would call usually 'cramps' and feeling sickly.
I poas yesterday which was bfn, did another today and I think I see a faint line (not sure if pic has picked it up). I'm kind of worried that I'm this late and only just picking up faint lines. Hoping if I am indeed pregnant, this one sticks 🤞

Tjsmjs · 18/08/2021 11:23

@Aims1991 Tricky. The app will probably saying Friday based on a 14day luteal phase but that can be longer or shorter. Plus if you ovulated later it may be off for you to. I guess it is a case of keep testing. Maybe wait 2 days then retest, if still negative and no AF then try some cheap ones and test every couple of days until it shows? Not ideal but it could still be your month.

Aims1991 · 18/08/2021 12:26

@Tjsmjs I have some frer on order. But people are saying Amazon isn't reliable so not sure. I also read the ones I used aren't great for before AF🤷🏻‍♀️

Itsjustme20 · 18/08/2021 21:47

Please help me 😂

So... I've just taken a test. Again. I had 2 positives on Mon 09/08 but then negatives since then although the positives were faint.

I'm on CD49. I had EWCM 14 days ago and we DTD that day. The last 2/3 days I've had light pink/light brown spotting. This positive came up straight away and well within the 3 mins.

After having positives 2 weeks ago and then negatives and now this?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

Aims1991 · 19/08/2021 07:26

Well another morning no AF, not testing again until the weekend and going to buy them from boots and not Amazon incase they are dodgy, 13dpo and slightly worried my cycles are messed up this month

mummytoolive · 19/08/2021 08:56

@Itsjustme20 certainly looks positive to me but I'd be a confused as you with the positives two weeks ago.
I would test again to see like progression in a couple Of days but looks like congratulations may be in order 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@Aims1991 what do you mean dodgy? Have you found the FRER from Amazon to not be accurate? That's where I got my last couple from.
