August TTC

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!

Ah no. Sorry hun 😔 At least you know though so don't have to keep testing and you can focus on the next cycle! Xx

Celina94 · 29/07/2021 22:13

@Jhodd mine came today too! 4-5 days early. The earliest I've ever had. So I feel your disappointment! Hopefully next month will be ours x

How's everyone going? I'm due AF on Tuesday. Usually have really sore boobs by now but haven't had ANY symptoms, very strange for me. I was even going to go to the doctors last month as my PMS symptoms were so bad!

This was my first month tracking BBT which made me concerned as I had no clear ovulation. To top it off I then got sick a few days ago and my temperature sky rocketed 😂 so looks like I will have to try again next month! Quite strange that I got sick too as I haven't had a cold for two years!

Don't quote me, but I've heard it takes a few months when doing BBT to work out a clear discernable pattern of when you're ovulating?

I picked up a BBT thermometer that syncs to my phone automatically so just take it every morning and the app does my chart with zero input and analyzes it for me which is nice.

Rtmhwales · 30/07/2021 02:44

Still holding in there myself, CD25 and 13DPO. I haven't tested since I got a stark negative on 10DPO. Don't feel pregnant and felt pregnant super early on with the last two pregnancies (I suffer badly with HCG) so don't think it's going to happen this cycle either. AF due on 1 August, decided to stop testing until/if I'm actually late as I drive myself nuts squinting and then spend the day in a dark fog of baby dust depression.

Anybody manage to actually not test ever until they're officially late? I feel so nuts peeing so often but sounds like everybody else does. Why are we so impatient?!

@mallowmoon93

Hi, could I join this? I didn't renew my depo injection, in December. Been 'seeing what happens' for a few months but then the last two months we've upped our game with timing and OPKs. Currently 2-3 DPO and know I'll be symptom spotting like mad during the dreaded TWW!
I didn't get my depo jab in June so just waiting for a period. Nothing yet, but my boobs are sore and my abdomen feels heavy, so I'm hoping it's soon - and my dreams have gone crazy!!!

How did you find coming of the jab?

YummyMummyXoX · 30/07/2021 06:45

Hi guys I'm from the July bus I am currently CD 30 (have long cycles last one was 38 days one before was 34). I believe I'm 8 dpi according to my app. Just awaiting AF or BFP now. Don't think it's my month, have lots of symptoms, but I did last month so probably pms. Hope everyone is doing OK xx

mallowmoon93 · 30/07/2021 07:17

@Farcry66 hi! I thought I was regular for the last couple of months I was on the depo but I wasn't tracking. So since tracking, don't think my periods went back to normal until now, and I'm not even sure if I'm ovulating again yet!
I know some people who got their BFP straight away, others it can take up to 2 years.
The cramp and mood swings seemed to be bad at the beginning but it's much better now! X

WantStickyBean · 30/07/2021 08:04

@BritInNZ I've found that since I've been temping, I've been ill enough to throw my temps out either at ovulation or around when AF's due every month. Really frustrating!

I find it really hard to tell when I'm ovulating from my BBT chart. Think I have quite a slow rise - this month it could be CD11-14 which isn't really helpful. I always end up using the OPK override.

FinnsMammy · 30/07/2021 08:31

@Itsjustme20 best of luck this morning. Fingers crossed you get your BFP xx

Yep I have absolutely no idea when I ovulated (or if I even did!) from my BBT chart. It's pretty all over the place!!

@LeeTTCRainbow I hope you are doing OK. Sorry you are having to go through this.

You are right a fresh start for you, at least you have some answers for the past few months. Take it easy over the next month xx

Hopefully it will be!

I've watched the great sperm race this morning - have you ever watched it? My friend recommended it and it's really interesting.

Kez437 · 30/07/2021 11:28

Ladies I tested again this morning, now 2 days late and I got my BFP!! I'm so over the moon! It's says 1-2 weeks so clearly all my early testing was just too early!
I am sending baby dust to you all and hope that you get your BFP soon ❤️

Jhodd · 30/07/2021 11:37

@Itsjustme20 I haven’t I will have a look thank you.

@Kez437 congratulations!! How exciting!! Xx
