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!

Can I join in ladies.

TTC #2. Already have a DD who is 3.5.
Cycle #4

I had lots of issues after my DDs birth and long term complicated Pelvic girdle pain so it’s taken a lot of determination and commitment to get where I am try carry another baby. Hence the bigger age gap so hoping it won’t be too much longer before I fall. Fingers crossed.

Using clearblue ovulation tests this month Altho think I started them too late and have confused it..only 2 blank circles so far and usually ovulate in like 2 days..so god knows lol.

Why is making a baby sometimes so dam hard lol

I can see something vaguely. But not sure if it has any colour to it.

I’ve got so used to evaps on tests now. There all crap. If you look and squint enough you can always see the line which would then to a colour if you were pregnant..

Amount of times I’ve been like it’s deff a faint line..isn’t a line at all. Sooo annoying

@Missy95 i don't have any power whatsoever so you're not alone 😌 it really is waiting game really. I don't know you but I always use easyhome test which seems that it gives me lots of indent lines and give me so much hope every month 😭
I've tried to upload a picture of my test this morning together with the last two days to show that every single month those test are showing indents as is (so so frustrating) but it doesn't allowed me as I'm a new member 😔 which ones do you normally use? xx

@Indianna2006 totally agree with faint and indents lines. But somehow, deep down me I always think 'what if' this is the month? And is very frustrating

@Thedesirerainbow yep it certainly sucks. Unless it’s an obvious line I ignore it, I don’t go searching for a line now.

How long has everyone been ttc for? I find it all annoying as sometimes there’s no logic to it. We mc our first baby before our DD…which we feel super quick and then it took a while to fall again. So I have no clue how long I’ll wait. And our ttc journey has gone as so

1st pregnancy : Fell 1st cycle but mc at 13 weeks
2 pregnancy : Fell 7th cycle resulted in DD who is 3.5
3rd pregnancy: Currently on cycle 4 and waiting..

@Babyboom1990 forgot to tag you in the reply about the tests.
See above response. Not sure I can see much they could be evaps. I never trust it unless it obvious now.

I am having a frustrating few days my opk's are just constantly blank but my CM is saying something different. I'm so new to this all and it's stressing me out. I know they say to stay relaxed...but TTC is the absolute opposite of relaxing.

@Indianna2006 I keep squishing, and some of them gets even slightly darker but AF ends up showing up anyway 😅

We've been trying for 8 months and would be our #1

I am really sorry for your mc 😔

Hi all, Sorry to all the girls AF's arrived or negative tests.

Update on me- still suffering with left side back pain, yesterday (7 or 8dpo) had some intense cramps for about an hour, felt like AF but had no bleeding or anything, but felt wet below so went to check but was just loads of (TMI) CM (this is odd for me) pain back is there still but not as bad or i'm just getting used to it as had since 4po. oh and sleep i'm struggling, last two nights barely slept i want too but cant (could be nerves for wedding)

Also dont want meals, not had dinner for 3 nights now, rather snack foods and so so so thirsty so bizarre.

Wishing you all best of luck xxx

Hi guys

Not sure what's going on this month, I usually ovulate on CD18, but have been using OPKs twice a day from CD16 and nothing even close to positive until this morning, CD20 - it was still negative but was darker so maybe positive this evening? Or I could have missed it altogether and ovulated before CD16.

So all that said, I have no idea when my TWW starts or if I'm even in the ballpark yet!

@Lealu totally with you on the expense of all these tablets! Last night I spent £70 on 2 months supply of a fertility vitamin and some iron - and that was with a discount code! And this month I needed a refill of my CB and cheap OPKs - TTC is costing me a fortune.

@LeeTTCRainbow sounds like you've got some promising symptoms there, really hope it turns out to be your BFP. Are you going to test before your wedding or not? Just realised I never replied to your post about your wedding plans - it sounds like you've got a really amazing day planned .

Hello! Mind if I jump on board? My husband and I have agreed to start TTC when he gets home in a couple of days (he works away a LOT which won’t make things easy). Looks like I’ll conveniently be at the right part of my cycle this weekend 🤞🏻 Trying to be chill about everything but apparently that’s easier said than done! Especially when it took a long time for us to agree we’re as ready as we’ll ever be. Sorry for those who are already out this month. Keeping everything crossed for those of you holding on for the end of the week! 💕

Mind if I jump in? 2nd month TTC after MMC that started in March and ended in June.

Hey ladies. I know its been mentioned a few times, but I wondered if anyone has experienced implantation bleeding. My cycles are very regular, im not due on until next Monday but have had some bleeding today, only when I wiped and not a lot, a light pink/brown colour - sorry for too much TMI. I never come on early so this is v strange for me. Apps predict im about 8dpo x

Just catching up.

I also use 4 apps 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fertility friend because I like the temp charts, Premom for my OPKs, Flo as somebody recommended it to me on a different TTC thread and a standard period tracking app I have used for years.

Sorry for everyone who is getting BFNs but don't give up. You're not out until AF shows up!

I feel like most people on this thread are in their TWW. I'm only CD 5 today so FW will start this weekend. This is cycle 6 for us TTC #1 and I really, really hope it happens this month 🤞🏼

9-10 dpo still bfn :(

@Celina94

9-10 dpo still bfn :(

Don't lose hope, I think thats still pretty early to test. Fingers crossed for you x

@Celina94 same dpo as you and same negatives 😌
How long have you been trying? x
We should not lose hope 🙏🏽

Anyone ever gone to buy yet another new baby gift for a friend and had to leave the shop before they burst into tears looking at all the baby clothes? Asking for a friend 🤥

9DPO and discharge seems to have stopped so did a test but BFN

@StayHopeful I feel you 😌 lots of people around me are all getting pregnant. I know I haven't been trying for that long but buying baby stuff and hearing people around you getting pregnant is getting harder by each month!

@storkstalk 10dpo here and bfn too :(

@Babyboom1990 oh I really hope so, I think I may have O earlier this month due to EWCM but who knows cos I don't test! Im feeling annoyed that AF has potentially arrived a week early, but also trying to stay hopeful that its implantation bleeding. Its just soooo unusual for me to bleed 7 days early! Also, Id like to use it as an excuse for being unwell today, rather than a very possible two day hangover ha ha. When will you test?

@StayHopeful I feel you, its such a difficult situation to be in. Big hugs to you x

Hi all. Hope it’s ok to jump on this thread and congrats to all the BFP’s and love to those still waiting. I’m after a bit of reassurance/advice. We’ve been TTC for a few months and I’m due on today. I took a cheap test this morning and there was the faintest of faint lines. This afternoon I took a clear blue 6 days early test and this shows a very faint, but visible blue line (see pic) I want to be satisfied it’s a BFP but I’ve had period pains/cramps the past 3 days and feel like AF will arrive any minute. Has anyone else experienced similar?
