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!

Congrats @San12345

& Congratulations @Celina94, Thankyou for saying about the lack of CM as this is something I really do over think!! So made me feel positive! How long have you been trying?

Celina94 · 24/08/2021 15:30

@purpleskyssssss honestly I felt like I had no CM during ovulation which made me doubt whether I ovulated or not. And not too long - it took 3 cycles - but honestly felt like forever!

MissM94 · 24/08/2021 15:39

@Celina94 congratulations! Lovely line 😁

purpleskyssssss · 24/08/2021 15:42

@Celina94 aww lovely, yes it does make you dount! Suppose we don't know what's 'normal' & whats not!

Wilf2020 · 24/08/2021 16:17

Anyone else too scared to test Confused

StayHopeful · 24/08/2021 18:28

@JK739 thanks 💛 totally! I've cried every month when AF arrives 😂 it's so draining! Here's hoping we both get our BFPs soon 🤞🏼

@Celina94 congratulations! And thanks for mentioning about the CM- I feel like i never have had EW CM and had less this month than ever so that is reassuring. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

WantStickyBean · 24/08/2021 20:26

@Wilf2020 yes, I don't test early any more. Last month DH forced me to do an FRER at 11DPO because my temps were really high and he was fed up of me talking about it - but I think this month I'm just going to wait for AF.

Sunshinelollypops8 · 24/08/2021 22:12

Congratulations @San12345 and @Celina94 🥳 ❤️. Hope you all get your BFP soon!

We DTD today first time un protected since having DD1. Ovulation is in 3 days according to my Flo app and 4 days according to my Ovia app. Probably no chance of it happening but time to get busy 😂

MrsSG90 · 25/08/2021 06:38

Morning girls. Yesterday morning I did a FRER. There was the faintest line, so faint that my phone camera couldn’t pick it up. I read back on here that they always have a very faint line and quickly got disheartened. This morning I’ve done another, just to get it out of my head. There’s a more visible, but still faint, line. I’m 13dpo today. I’m getting light period pains, due on on Friday according to app. Do you think this is good news? (1 is yesterday’s and 2 is this morning).

Thedesirerainbow · 25/08/2021 06:38

@Celina94 many congratulations! This is a lovely line! Enjoy this feeling 🤍

@San12345 congratulations to you too! ☺️

Had vvv faint lines on my cheapes @easyhome for 4 days, but every time slightly darker than previous - shame can't post pictures on here - tried yesterday with a FRER and was as white as snow. 12dpo today. Cycle 8 and feels I'm out again 😔

Wishing you all a lovely day 🤍

Indianna2006 · 25/08/2021 08:01

@MrsSG90 it’s soo hard to tell with those when so faint as I’ve got faint lines on them every cycle and I’ve never been pregnant. I get mine from Amazon an feel like there not as good as they always show the indent for me.

Got a flashing smiley yesterday morning and static smiley this morning on my CB. First month using this though so not sure on the rules?
Does it mean we should dtd for the next 3 days?

Amazingapples · 25/08/2021 08:08

@MrsSG90 number 1 could definitely be an indent but line 2 does look like it has some colour!! 🙊
I would try and nip out and get a clear blue early detection where it tells you how many weeks and you can do it 6 days early? Or try another FRER this evening. Keeping 🤞🏼 for you! X

San12345 · 25/08/2021 08:15

@MrsSG90 there’s a faint line for sure on test to, could be a good sign! I agree with everyone else, just keep testing x

I’ve been testing each day to see if my HGC is developing, had an MC back in feb (8 weeks pregnant) so feel like I won’t believe in this pregnancy until the first trimester is over.
(But that’s my own mad paranoia)
Fingers, thumbs and toes crossed your line gets darker ✨🤞🏼x

San12345 · 25/08/2021 08:22

@Thedesirerainbow @Sunshinelollypops8 @purpleskyssssss @Missy95 @KCat82 @Glastomummy

Thank you ladies for your kind congrats
🥰

And congrats to @Celina94! How are you feeling about it all? Hopefully we’ll have May babies to be celebrating next year/ blaming for constant sleep deprivation. My partner wants a dog too, so we might have a puppy and baby on our hands in 2022… 😳

LadyoftheWoods · 25/08/2021 08:31

Aw congrats @San12345 and @Celina94!! Wishing you both a healthy pregnancy 💕

I'm 9dpo today. Don't really have any symptoms except super sore boobs, but sometimes I get that before af anyway. AF is due Monday so thought I might do a cheeky test on Saturday?? Or is that too early?

Celina94 · 25/08/2021 08:38

@San12345 congratulations to you too!!! I'm very excited but also just nervous and will be eagerly waiting for the first trimester to be over! I'm actually a May baby too so it will be so sweet to share a birthday month (or maybe day! Who knows haha).

And wow! A dog too?!? Hahaha I couldn't even imagine that! So much love though 🥺❤️ so happy for you!

Celina94 · 25/08/2021 08:39

Thank you for the kind messages guys. Praying for you all. Your time is coming sooner than you think ❤️

EmL98 · 25/08/2021 09:22

Morning!

Oh my I did a test today and its got 2 lines🥰 I did one yesterday but the line was so so faint. It looks darker on todays test.

According to my ovulation apps i am 9DPO but I did ovulation testing this month which showed I ovulated early so I'm more like 11DPO.

Im going to try and not test again now until my period which is due on the 30th.

Hopefully this one stays❤️ I had a MMC in February and never want to go through that again! X

@EmL98 congratulations 🥰 xx

Missy95 · 25/08/2021 09:34

Very confused this morning. On day 3 of very light bleeding, 7 days earlier than expected AF. No blood this morning so took a test - V V V faint second line which I have been obsessing over, I swear its there but I don't know if im seeing things. An hour later, bleeding starts again. I think I need to admit defeat this month. No idea what is going on 🥺 xx

Indianna2006 · 25/08/2021 09:35

@EmL98 congrats hun I deffo see the second line there 🤞🏼🥰🥰

Dobcaty · 25/08/2021 09:43

Morning! Amazing to see the loads of BFP congratulations for you all and wishing a healthy happy pregnancy. ❤️

Well I hit bottom today with my nerves but I won't test until Sunday/Monday. Looking my BBT chart, my temperature stays on the same level since 3 dpo, and idk what does it mean? This is the first time I'm on vaginal progesterone gel, kinda impossibly to check cm bc of the leftover from the gel (sorry tmi) so can't even spotting signs 🙈 can you please have a look on it and give some thought? 5 days to go... 😅

ashlove17 · 25/08/2021 09:45

@LadyoftheWoods I’m also 9dpo (according to my apps as didn’t track ovulation this month) and wondering when to test! I want to now but know it’s far too early🥺

WantStickyBean · 25/08/2021 10:05

@MrsSG90 I'd be optimistic with that top test, the line definitely has colour and isn't that faint. Also, the likelihood of having indents on 2 FRERs is quite low, mine are always stark white!

@EmL98 congratulations!

@Dobcaty that looks like a nice chart so far. Clear temperature shift and stable post-O temperatures. The things that you read about implantation dips and triphasic charts don't in reality tell you much about whether you're likely to be pregnant (I've certainly had charts that showed both and BFN!), all you'll really be looking for is whether your temperatures stay high as you approach AF.

Missy95 · 25/08/2021 10:39

@MrsSG90 my test this morning is so much like your first test! Your second test looks promising!
