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!

@Missy95 I'd be cautiously optimistic for implantation bleeding, but either way you'll know in the next day or so.

@StayHopeful yep. Randomly crying in shops is happening with embarrassing frequency .

I'm 5DPO and not really noticing any symptoms. Possibly a bit of cramping, but I say that every month and it's always BFN.

@Amazingapples I always think that when I'm in the first half of my cycle, people just post more in the TWW I think.

StayHopeful · 23/08/2021 18:49

@Thedesirerainbow @Missy95 @WantStickyBean thanks girls, such a lonely place to be 😔

@Missy95 I've never had implantation bleeding but it sounds like it to me from what I know of it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Missy95 · 23/08/2021 19:08

@StayHopeful @WantStickyBean its so hard to know what our bodies are doing! So unpredictable. Do you think I should wait until when AF should appear to test?

@KCat82 that looks like a good BFP to me! ✨ xxx

StayHopeful · 23/08/2021 19:51

@Missy95 I would probably try to hold off til the weekend- maybe Friday? But rich coming from me because I just buy those cheapy tests and tell myself every month I'm going to wait but I am always POAS from like 8DPO 🙄 I would say if it's implantation bleeding I'd imagine by Friday/Saturday you might have enough HCG for BFP on an FRER or similar. But who knows 😂 xx

Missy95 · 23/08/2021 19:54

@StayHopeful ha ha im the exact same. But I shall take your advise and try hold out. Depending on increased or lack of bleeding, I might be swayed haha xx

Lealu · 23/08/2021 20:14

@KCat82 congratulations that certainly looks like a bfp! Could you test again tomorrow with first wee of the morning, to confirm and reassure yourself?

JK739 · 23/08/2021 21:11

Hi everyone!

Just checking in again. My PCR was positive so just had 10 days roaming the house, no symptoms just going mad with boredom. Wish it had been my fertile window! 🤣

Good luck to everyone else. @KCat82 I definitely see a line there, congratulations!

@StayHopeful hope you are okay, it's such a tough one isn't it. You spend so long trying to avoid pregnancy it's such a shock to realise it doesn't always happen straight away. I cried when month 1 wasn't successful, I definitely need to get more realistic expectations sometimes lol.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone else out there xx

MissM94 · 23/08/2021 21:26

Hello ladies! Please can I join 😁 came off the pill November 2020 due to a blood clot (eeek) been using withdrawal ever since as we delayed ttc due to Covid and all that jazz so this month is my first month tracking and trying, currently in my fertile week! I've marked on the days we've planned to dtd, had a steamy session post work/pre tea today so had a good start to the week 😂 I normally ovulate on CD20 so going to get that day covered which is Friday!

Indianna2006 · 23/08/2021 21:35

@MissM94 on your chart you’ve posted you’re CD20 is not until the 27th for ovulation so your fertile week would be next week? Not this week?
Or do you mean that you will ovulate on the 20th of this month? And that’s actually CD13. As the number at the top of the chart is the date and CD is the bottom figure.

Does that make sense? Sorry just from what you wrote It didn’t wuite make sense and I didn’t want you to get your fertile week mixed up and miss it :)

Indianna2006 · 23/08/2021 21:36

@MissM94 totally ignore that post I was looking at the wrong week 🤣🤣🤣 don’t even know what date is is today. I thought it was 16th LOL. you carry on shagging haha

MissM94 · 23/08/2021 22:06

@Indianna2006 HAHAHA it's Monday I'll let you off 😂😂😂 forgetting what date it is happens to the best of us, don't worry 😉😂

San12345 · 24/08/2021 10:52

Hey ladies! I'm a quiet watcher on these forums, got my first v v v faint positive 11dpo am, ever so slightly stronger positive 11dpo pm and a much clearer positive today 12dpo am.
My symptoms are

  • slightly bigger boobs
  • slight cramping
  • elevated BBT for this time of the month and an implantation dip on 9dpo

Doesn't feel real! Had a miscarriage back in Feb, so cautiously optimistic at the moment.

Congrats to those of you that got your positive this month.
And to those that are still waiting, it's a marathon, after all, I hope everyone gets to that finish line x x x

Missy95 · 24/08/2021 11:02

Congratulations on your BFP @San12345 , thats lovely news xx

Lucylulu1 · 24/08/2021 11:36

@San12345 I am so happy for you! Congrats on the BFP! I also see a line for @KCat82, which is so awesome.

@StayHopeful I'm trying to stay out of the shops. I just want to know I'm pregnant so I can go shopping myself.

KCat82 · 24/08/2021 11:50

Thanks everyone and congrats to you @San12345. Fantastic news.
I tested again first thing this morning and you can barely make out a line so definitely fainter than yesterday's one.

Glastomummy · 24/08/2021 11:54

@San12345 huge congratulations!!! So happy for you 💜 it gives us all hope that our rainbow babies will be with us one day xxx take it easy and all the best xxx

Celina94 · 24/08/2021 12:53

Girls I'm in disbelief. I think I just got my first BFP with FRER?! Literally have come on here two mins after seeing the line I'm in complete shock- this is it right????

Glastomummy · 24/08/2021 13:24

@Celina94 congratulations 😘😘😘 xx

Celina94 · 24/08/2021 13:29

@Glastomummy thank you so much ❤️

Amazingapples · 24/08/2021 14:04

That's a strong line @Celina94 congrats 🎉
How many DPO are you?

Celina94 · 24/08/2021 14:06

@Amazingapples thank you so much 🥰

I am 9-10dpo (I used OPK's). Also anyone who doesn't get much cervical mucus during ovulation - I hardly got any and still got my BFP- thought that might help reassure anyone as it was something I worried about!

Celina94 · 24/08/2021 14:11

Might be 10-11dpo actually! (BFP)

Missy95 · 24/08/2021 14:31

@Celina94 congratulations 🥰

Ladies, what are the best (cheap) home pregnancy test strips to get? A lot of reviews on amazon are so mixed! X

Amazingapples · 24/08/2021 15:02

@Missy95 I would also like to know this! I have used the easy @ home cheapies but last month one gave me a clear indent line, which gave me a bit of false hope ☹️ first time I've ever seen an indent line too.

San12345 · 24/08/2021 15:05

I really like Zoom baby ultra sensitive test strips available from their website. Super cheap, fast delivery and pretty clear IMO.
