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 still 10 DPO.. I am just waiting to get over 2WW

@MomToBee 4 more days 🤞🏽🤞🏽

🤞🏼🤞🏼🙂

[quote WantStickyBean]@Itsjustme20 congratulations! Definitely an unusual story, but that digital seems fairly conclusive![/quote]
@WantStickyBean Definitely unusual! I'm ignoring the ones last week as ridiculous Evaps or something 😂

I've done 7 tests over the last 24 hours and every one has been positive 🤞🏼👶🏽 a digital clearblue, the 'normal' type clear blue and then 5 of the IC 😂

@purpleskyssssss
I’ve temped for several years and every month my chart drops to about 36.20 in the lead up to ovulation. Only when I was pregnant did it not drop down low like that. So I’d say it’s not anything to worry about unless you have other symptoms. Hope that’s reassuring x

@Itsjustme20 congratulations 🎉

@Lealu Thank you 🥰

Hey ladies. Congrats on the BFPs! ✨

Who else is in the dreaded TWW? Im around 4dpo and every day feels like its standing still 🤣 xx

@Itsjustme20 Congratulations!!

@missy95 I'm 6dpo so half way through the TWW tomorrow! Totally feel you!

@FlipperyGibbet how are you feeling? Are you symptom spotting? Im trying to keep busy but this week is going sooooo slow. Im trying to figure out whens the earliest I can test just so its something else to do 🤣 xx

Thankyou @Lealu I appreciate that, I will start temping again next month - I actually enjoyed the month I did!

@MomToBee I think your defiantly not out! Your symptoms sound positive especially if they are abnormal to what you have every cycle! Also your spotting could be implantation? If so I believe you wouldn't show as a BFP yet as would not have enough HCG so maybe try again on Saturday or Sunday?

Fingers crossed

@Missy95 I don't think I've actually had any symptoms so can't say I have! Had the 2 smileys on the CB OPKs but no EWCM so have a feeling its not my month!

Had a mmc in May and I'd had a period whilst being pregnant very early on so I literally have no clue how my body actually responds in terms of symptoms! Are you symptom spotting?

@FlipperyGibbet oh sorry to hear about your mmc. Im not symptom spotting at the mo. But the closer it gets to AF, the more I begin checking everything ha! I don't test for ovulation or anything, but I have tried a few different things to try relax me and bring me some hope. I got a fertility candle that I light every day. I don't know if I believe in it all, but its worth a try haha. And the candle smells lush. Fingers crossed for your BFP this month! Xx

@Lianna93 yeah I think deciding when to test depends what feels best to you. Some people go for daily testing, some wait until AF is late. Good luck whatever approach you go for this month x

@Missy95 @FlipperyGibbet I'm 3dpo and already so impatient! This is month 1 ttc so I'm assuming it won't happen but that doesn't stop me getting excited! I always get bloated and have sore boobs just before af so I'm fully expecting that I'll get carried away once that starts. I'm on holiday all next week so I'm hoping that might be some distraction

@Missy95 yes I’m also still in the tww. AF due on Saturday. No symptoms sadly yet, and last time I did suspect I was pregnant by this point. But people do say every pregnancy is different. Will test Saturday morning if no AF, have a frer in ready. Will let you know 🤞🤞🤞

@Tjsmjs and @Aims1991 sorry that AF arrived and I’ve fingers crossed for you for next cycle x

@LadyoftheWoods oh exciting, good luck! You never know! ✨ are you holidaying abroad?
@Lealu my first pregnancy I found out at nearly 6 weeks. Around the week of AF I had mega mega sore boobs! So every month I search for that, but never happens. I also need to remember that those symptoms started after 4 weeks as well! Good luck for Saturday, do keep us posted! AF for me not due until a week on Monday 😭 I need a hobby to keep busy haha xx

1DPO.., it’s going to be a long 2 weeks! I’m adamant that I won’t test early but any recommendations for the most reliable test? X

@Itsjustme20 congrats to you ❤️ xxx

Honestly so tempted to start testing now but I know it’s way too early 🙈😂
I think I’m 5dpo - I’m still trying to get used to being regular. Any one else had irregular periods since they started? My mum always told me they’d get more regular when I got older - didn’t expect that to be 16 years down the line 😳
Currently using Ovia & my Fitbit app to track my cycles & currently using Mommed to check ovulation.
Felt quite nauseous today but don’t know if that was due to my lunch, anxiety or something else 🤷🏻‍♀️
Trying not to get too ahead of myself - miscarried when I was teenager & due to E.D my weight has been a constant battle which has a knock on effect.

Sorry don’t know all the acronyms yet 🙃

@Shewhobakes First Response pregnancy tests are usually considered the most reliable. (When people use the acronym FRER they are talking about a First Response Early Result pregnancy test).

Hey girls so I'm like 7dpo now and have noticed thicker white creamy discharge which is unusual for me at this time... has anyone else had this or know if this could be a positive sign? Had some pinches and lower abdomen pain yesterday as well as the worst headache ever and super weepy /bad mood but seem a lot happier today. Just have this significant amount of white creamy discharge.

I may just be symptom spotting and white creamy discharge is normal post ovulation but wondered if any of you girls experienced this or know of it?! Xx

Does anyone have any recommendations re vitamins for ttc? I’ve been taking vitabiotics, but they’ve run out and I wondered about trying something different. Thank you for any ideas 💡

@Celina94 I struggled to sleep last night as I had what felt like dull cramps all night. Those have now eased & I've now got lower back pain. Yesterday I was feeling quite nauseous & the day before that I was incredibly emotional.
I'm not entirely sure how many dpo I am - I estimate between 5-7. I need to get better at testing 😂
