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!

Exactly your not out til your out!! Fingers crossed for you @Capricorn8990

@ViL89 well, that lasted long lol. I found another one I had and it says negative so bit confused... same brand and test. Just taken a few hours later xx

It is really confusing @Capricorn8990 isn’t it.
Try a pink dye test tomorrow if you can get one.
Fingers crossed for you.

@Jhodd it is! I wish the 2 week wait didn't drag as much. I will do xx

Oh nooo @Capricorn8990 well yes that wasn't v long lol but so hard go resists when you have them in the house I try not to have any if possible til the day AF is due.

Think you might have to do another one tomorrow to see try not to stress out too much I think some of them say to use morning wee so maybe try then.

Feel for you the ups and downs are stressful!!!!!

@ViL89 cannot help myself 🤣 I'm on rest days so have not a lot else to do!! I will grab some more tomorrow but pink dyes and see if they show up anything xx

Well the TWW is coming towards an end slowly but surely. Five days til period is due for me. I feel anxious about taking a test and seeing a BFN so think I might wait a few days after it's due. Although I probably will start before I get around to testing.

I am starting to feel completely wiped out and exhausted which is making me a little hopeful. Tbh though that might be more to do with navigating summer holidays with a four year old. She demands so much of my energy and with no nursery (closed ten days early due to Covid) it has been fun to spend more time with her but she is much more bossy than my actual boss at work

@Speccybibliophile try and hold off as it's super expensive testing all the time, as I have found out!

It sounds very exhausting with your little one but I'm sure you've enjoyed it! Take care of yourself xx

I have a clearblue digital waiting in my bedside drawer too @Capricorn8990 but having read the MNet conception boards a lot over the last few months, first response seems to be much more recommended - I think because it's a lot more sensitive. Maybe you can try using one of those in a few days time.

[quote Celina94]@Jhodd Hey! Im currently 9dpo so right behind ya... have tested every day since 7dpo too. Feel the usual pre menstrual symptoms like sore breasts, cramps, and highly emotional... so confusing as it could also be pregnancy symptoms! when are you next testing?[/quote]
I'm currently 8/9 DPO. I've been testing since yesterday (so 7DPO) and all been negative so far!

I hate the TWW so much

Hi girls hope I can join I’m
4 DPO first cycle after my MC at11 weeks ! Hoping this month I get my sticky bean xx

Hi @FinnsMammy welcome so sorry for your loss and baby dust to you for August xxxx

@Itsjustme20 i feeel your pain - absolutely hate tww too. I just want to know already! So I can either celebrate or get to starting again for the new cycle!!! Let me know how it goes the next couple of days - I'm 9 days dpo so very similar x

It's horrendous isn't it. Have you resisted poas yet? I did today and yesterday but not with FMU for either. Going to test tomorrow with FMU I think and maybe order some FRER too.

I'm the same now. Just want to know either way so I can celebrate or get focussed again. The wait is horrendous each cycle.

You too - fingers crossed for us both! X

@Itsjustme20 I've done a test every day for the last 3 days and all BFN :( but I'm aware that I was testing super early! Also wasn't testing with FMU. Il do the same as you tomorrow - will do a test with FMU and see how that goes and will update here! X

Mine have been BFN too. I'll update on here too although I'm using internet cheapies so might not be strong enough for early on 😩

@Willow1982 I had a feeling you were feeling that way too! So I got a circle, then a flashy and today a static! Strange. I’m not sure that’s right! How can I keep testing if the static stays for 48 hours? I’m lucky as I have my sister in law helping with the old bd, not directly of course 🤣🤣 We’re all holidaying in the same house and she’s on childcare duty while my me and my husband nip off. How you feeling today? xx

So strange, I’m 4 DPO and I’ve had light brown discharge and it was brown when I wiped. It’s too early for implantation so I’m trying to figure out what in the world it was for!

Hi all! Long time reader, first time poster so wondering if it's ok if I join? I've been so scared to talk to anyone about our TTC!

Now on our fifth cycle of trying. This month has really got me. We're trying for #1 and I think it's because I worked out that this is the last month I could give birth as a 34 year old. Plus, the fertility tracking app I'm using said I didn't ovulate last month which I'm hoping could've been to do with the second pfizer jab.

I really regret us not starting to try last year during the lockdown but we'd been granted a sabbatical from work to go travelling so were stupidly holding off trying properly in case COVID travel bans were lifted and we could go on our trip! Oh well. We were also supposed to get married but that's got postponed like everyone else.

How do you all cope with the TWW? It's so tough! Literally all I can think about. I think wfh is making me obsess even more. Normally I'd exercise when I'm stressed but I'm so nervous about it affecting chances of implantation. I never realised I was such a stress head! Supposed to be 1dpo according to app but the Clear Blue tests have come up negative for the whole time I've been doing them, which is worrying.

Sorry for the super long first post and for talking about myself so much. It just feels so good to finally get that all off my chest! I'll be less of a waffle cake next time. Baby dust to everybody x

@ViL89 thanks these things happen looking forward to moving on and hopefully falling pregnant again soon! Only 4DPO so not quiet ready to start symptom spotting yet. Baby dust to all! Xx

Hey guys, can I join? Im on CD1 of my fifth cycle now, anyone else feel so lonely during this ttc journey? Look forward to chatting xx

@bubblyunicorn Yes! "Lonely" is exactly the way I was going to describe it. Joining in here has made me feel a bit better already though. Lots of lovely ladies on here. My fingers and toes are crossed for you xx

@iknowaly welcome!
I’m glad you’ve got that all off your chest and can hopefully feel better about your ttc journey!
I’ve found this ttc journey more lonely than my previous. But I’ve found this page so hopefully can chat to like minded people!
Don’t stress, it will happen when it will happen and stress doesn’t help. Age is just a number, and if it do I want happen this month then just keep trying. Who cares if you have a birthday while pregnant!
The tww is awful, I can’t stop thinking about it either and have been testing super early to then only be disappointed!
Hopefully this chat is a love you can let your stresses off! And not keep them bottled up

@bubblyunicorn yes this is exactly how I’m feeling this time around. I’m glad I found this thread though, it’s the first time I’ve spoke about ttc again x
