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!

@storkstalk Funnily enough, I'm convinced it messed with my cycle too.
I got my first dose of the vaccine back in January & then never got AF for 9 weeks.

@Lianna93 yeah I think it’s really common, I wish they’d warn women about it though. I was so confused when my last cycle was 21 days and had to trawl the internet to find out about the vaccine link

Hi Everyone,

A bit late to the party but this is my first cycle TTC, been tracking my cycle for a few months though.

I'm currently 2DPO, and the wait is already killing me ha.

I've been still testing with my Ovulation strips once a day to see the drop after peak and although it has dropped from my peak it's still med- high levels which it's never done on previous cycles testing. Anyone know why this would be? I feel like I deffo ovulated on CD16.

Thanks

@Lealu sorry you got a BFN. Hopefully next cycle will be your cycle! I can't even imagine how disappointing that is. Wishing you all the luck for the next cycle ❤️

@Babyboom1990 if I remember correctly with my 1st DD I had the same as you 4 days before my period so fingers crossed you get the line ina. Few days 🤞🏼.

@Babyboom1990 how long have you been trying? I'm really rooting for you and hoping this cycle is the one for you!! 🥰

@Babyboom1990 oh wow that would be amazing if you caught on the first try!! That would be a nice age gap to have 😊.
My DD is 2 and a half and this will be the first time we are trying. It's taken months of persuading my partner to let us try for another because I was really ill with PND so he has been worried I will be ill again 😅

@Babyboom1990 I feel a bit crampy so not holding out much hope, I think by the end of tomorrow I will know but still keeping everything crossed. Lots of luck to you too!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hey girls. Im 8-10dpo now and today noticed a change in my cervical mucus... thick, gummy/stretchy, white. I'm usually drier once ovulation ends up until AF shows up so this is different. Anyone ever had this and got a BFP? X

Will be 9dpo tomorrow - I think!
Got a FRER to test either tomorrow or Tuesday as AF is due on Friday.
Cramps have settled down, but still feeling nauseous when I eat. Feeling a bit more sensitive than normal, DH passed comments about our wedding invites & I took that as a direct criticism- which normally I wouldn't do 🙃😂
Either definitely due or there's a wee bun in my oven... 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Babyboom1990 oh wow that's good going first try! Hopefully the same for your next little one then 🤞🏼
I'm waiting for my fertile window. It's this weekend I think (need to double check 😂😳) x

@storkstalk oh good luck to you too! Hope your cramps are also implantation cramps 🤞🏼 x

@Celina94 not had this before but I'm hopeful for you and the change so good luck for you too! X

@Lianna93 I hope your test comes back positive for you keep us posted! And congratulations on the wedding 💒 x

Hello! I am new here :)
Found this comment and thought to leave a response.
I am 33 and we’ve been TTC for 8 months for #1
Had 3 chemical pregnancies and hubby is about to get his swimmers tested on Wednesday.
Had my ovaries scanned due to high pressure and pain on my ovaries for a year now but they didn’t find anything (still hurting).
I’m finding it a bit overwhelmed as I didn’t see or pictured this process to take this long even tho I am very aware now, that there are many many couples out there trying for years (all my respects to you all 🙏🏽)

Would love to get involved with your conversations on this journey to get our rainbows into our lives.

Thanks for reading,
Wish you all the best!

Tested this morning. BFN 😞
Will see if AF rears it's ugly head on Friday.

AF for me should be showing on Friday too. I still think it could be too early to test, not everyone will get their bfp this early. How long have you been trying?

@Thedesirerainbow This is our 4th month but will be my second pregnancy. Miscarried about 10 years ago & never tried since. Have so many anxieties & worries but tying to suppress them as much as possible.
You?

@Lianna93 I'm so sorry you had to go through that :( t We've been trying since January and had 3 chemical pregnancies so far, not really fun! I know anxiety very well, and is so tricky

Morning ladies. Tested at 8dpo this morning, knowing it would be negative but im just sooo impatient. Anyone else just stare at the test and squint so hard to believe it could be even slightly positive? 🤦🏿‍♀️ must stop testing early, its costing me a fortune xxx

@Missy95 guilty here 🙈 and I tell myself every month that I won't be testing early again.. the TWW is hard job, too impatient I guess!

@Thedesirerainbow it takes a lot of will power to wait until AF does or doesn't arrive! I just don't have that power haha. AF isn't due until next Monday, it seems so far away. I have 0 symptoms of either pregnancy or pms so its just a waiting game really xx
